The Correction Of Borlees.

A great many babies present
moderate Incarnation or inward
bending Of the chin bones In the
early months OF walking. The de-
formity in no way interferes
with walking, though it worries
mothers a great deal. Provided
the child has been intelIigently fed
and consequently is not subject to
ricketts,, the slightly bowling of the
legs requires no treatment and
will in time spontaneously ~disap-
pear in the majority of cases. One
thing no sensible mother will do
is to apply a brace or mechanical
apparatus of any kind except IN
der the direction and personal sup
ervision of a physician who treats
such conditions, such as an orthO-
geon so advises.
Infants who. through the ignor-
ance and credulity of parents, are
denied proper food and fed up with
suIdry easy-tO-handle substitutes
are infinitely more likely to develop
bony deformities than are nat
urally fed infants, that is. infants
brought up on the breast or on
suitably modified fresh milk.
No boy or girl should be al
lowed to grow up with bow legs.
Correction of the deformity is al
ways feasible, and there is no
lodging the fact that the young
person may attain a better situa-
ton in the world after the deform-
ity has been corrected. An opera
ton for the correction Of bowIegs
is as rational and necessary as is
an operation for the correction OF
harelip. No parent would permit
child to retain a hareiip today
with surgical aid on every side.
The best time for the opera ton
on bowlegs is somewhere between
four and twelve years of age
though excellent results may be
obtained even in adult life. AS a
general rule a wedge shaped piece
of bone is removed and the leg
then nodded into good position and
retained by plaster of Paris or
other fixed dressing until healing
has progressed to a stage which
will permit walking. This opera
ton is not a difficult one norris it
at all dangerous to undergo. Ii is
merely a question of time and de-
termination. 1t gives eminently
satisfactory results in the hands Of
any surgeon anywhere, so there is
no need Of travelling afar to that
great specialist whose greatness,
somehow. varies directly with the
square of his distance from the pa
tents home.
There is no good evidence that

Senators Johnson, Borah and Mccormick

10 Offset the efforts of the president to create
favorable sentiment for the League of Nations
that, al least, is the claim of the anti-WiIsOn
press. Attending a meeting, however, does
not necessarily signify approval of its pur-
poses The American people are not so hide
bound that they do not want to hear both sides
of a question. And they will often turn out
as numerously to listen to a knocker as to
listen TO a booster, but they usually register
their preference on the constructive side, when
it comes. to the test

One time when he was going

awhile, he asked to kiss me apd

or would il be all right il I do not
do it often and give him TO under

not engaged, but he says he intends
to show ne sometime that he really
does care for me.

advise girls not to permit kiss
ing until engaged SO that they will
not cheaper themselves by promis
cuous kissing. You can see that
when a girl lets one after another
man have that privilege, she beS
comes common property and has
given away a sweetness which She
should save for the man she
marTies.
l do think four years is a great
difference in your ages, and would
not advise you TO kiss each other
yet. When the boy is older and you
have reason 10 think your regard
for each other will last, then will
be time enough 10 kiss each other
good bye.

would think less Of you for letting
him kiss You. You are too good
friends for that.

PARAMOUNT ISSUES.

Much argument is drifting
round. Forensic gents make lots
of sound; their tongues are loose
and timber. Orations eloquent are
here: they smite the giblets of the
year with pIanks of campaign tim
Der. From source direct OF wis
dom's fount come burning issues
paramount to pulveTize the voter:
they make weird music on the
breeze like sigh of wind among the
trees. or sIumbrous buzz of mo-
tor. Bold issues. conscious OF their
mower. come forth and strut their
little hour, and then like phan-
toms vanish: then other issues
take their place and hold the
boards a little space. then get the
bouncing Danish. One day the
league usurps the stage: but l go
out to earn my wage and do lit
tie f1ivving, and when the shades of
evening fall the issues not the
league at aIl--it is the cost of liv-
ing. The issues come, the issues

know in all the lands and nations
which ones are good and which
are punk. and which are true and
which are bunk, and which are
mere orations?

Japan would be very easy for the United

The Phone Settlement.

Telephone company employees did not get
all they contended for in the settlement of the
strike but they probably got as much as they
had expected. They will be better paid and
have the assurance that union affiliations will
not lead to discrimination against them While
the union is not specifically recognized the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining is, and that is
long step forward.
At the outset the company turned a deaf
ear to its employees, refusing to treat with

It costs great deal TO live nowadays, but
last month the city building inspector author
lied the construction of twice as many garages
as dwellings. The police arrested more people
for violation of the motor vehicle laws than
drunks-a great many more, If you think the
people who are building the garages and pay

Brofteering in the necessities of life you have
guessed wrong. In nine cases out Oft it is
plain Tom Jones or Bill Smith, working ,by
the day or the month, and perhaps kicking as
vigorously as anyone against the high cost of
living and the inadequacy Of wages. Not that
it isn't all right to kick, because there is rea-
son for it, but before going to the length OF
advocating shooting dynamiting and burning
as a remedy one ought to consider carefully
whether Americans are not sth a little bit
better off than any other people and if they
would not have little more to lose by an up
setting Of their existing form of government.

1t IS seldom that a body of individuals which
