HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Any treatment which produces a natural reaction from nervous tension and promotes circulation in the scalp is of local benefit in the condition known as tight or as dry scalp.
 People who are naturally forgetful of fruit should make a point of drink ing the juice of a lemon in a glass of water before breakfast and q glass of orange juice on going to bed at night.
 The hygienic bedroom Is not only large and airy but all useless sim- cracks are kept out of it. There should be as few dust collecting ar ticles as possible.
 To control nose bleeding, let the patient lie propped up in bed and ap- ply cold congresses or an ice bag to the nose, and stuff the bleeding nos tril with absorbent cotton,
 Don't imagine that the doctor can cure your ills when it depends on you to care for yourself. It is not fair to the doctor to do the whole thing with a few little pills, What you do from day to day has more to do with your health than any medicine can possibly have, and plenty of substantial food, sleep and air constitute a daily dose that should never be overlooked.

FLYING OVER THE ATLANTIC.

For some time not Q little attention Las been directed to ike possibilities Of crossing the Atlantic in the air. The development: of the f7yir@ ma chimes has been such that ;cst of that kind is on'y what might be eX- pected as the natural course of events. There havc been record breaking al- titude flights, long cross country trirs and some very fast time has been made for comparatively short dis tances Aviators have been able to fly from one side of the Mediterranean to the other and back and to ncgo- tiate long distances ove~ mountainous regions in Europe wirh sutisfac- tory results. In this country there have been flights between large cities and across the continent rom coast to coast and although the latte.

 Crossing the ocean is an entirely different matter than crossing the con

 through forced landings would be so much greater that it would be desira, lie to avoid them under most circum- stances. For that reason It has been repeatedly urged that q sustained flight over land for an equal distance to that which would have to be GOV cred in crossing the Atlantic be made before such @ long ocean flight is at tpn1nted hut the etThitiCD tn 0a+ tl,n honor of effecting the first air cross ing, even at the shortest distance of about HOO miles, is such that the tests are for the most part being restricted

unnecessary and solely for the pur- pose of giving government ownership possibilities a thorough testing out as the resul. of such pro- longed experimentation with the roads, while it is recognized that the confusion which would follow the immediate return Of the lines is some thing to be carefully avoided
 That the roads will so back under the conditions which they existed be- fore the government took them over is not to be expected. It has been shown that while there is need for federal control that which was exer- cised before the war was entirely un-
 just. The government proceeded to do just the opposite to what it had permitted the roads to do and it is re- aized that federal control in the fu- ture must be along different lines than in the past.
 What the changes will be under the new arrangement have not been de- termined but that is what should get early consideration by congress, and because of this and other matters that are awaiting congressional action there should be no delay in calling the extra session of congress to- gether

OTHER VIEW POINTS

For some reason or other there is considerable opposition to the renewal of the early morning daylight using plan which is to start in again March 30, if no one intereferes. We never called this daylight saving" It is really daylight using.
 Counting daylight from sunrise to sunset, the world under the manipula- ton of the clocks and timepieces gets up earlier to use part of the daylight given by the inexorable rule of the universe as the days lengthen.
 The opposition comes from some of the farming clements in the, West. It does not suit them. They were day light users all the time, getting up generally around four or five the year round The advance of the hour to them, it is true, is really a daylight loser, when you come to think of it.
 But the Western farmer is not "the only pebble on the beach" as we used to say of certain persons who tried to make you think they owned the earth and the fullness thereof. There are just few others,-Bridgeport Post.

EDITORIAL NOTES,

March, and the ground hog never made a worse failure.
 From the way in which ore demand is following another. no one can think of disregarding thrift
 The man on the corner says: No one has been able 10 block the free dom of human nature.
 it will be most unfortunate if Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle is not able to attend that conference in Washing ton.
 What bothers the militant suffrag- ists arrested in Boston is that any one should be so inconsiderate as to pay their fine and force them to get out Of jail.
 It begins to look as if that gather ing of governors and mayors at Washington next week is likely to re- suit in quite a general resort to sub stitutes.
 There are those who think that they are hard pushed financially, but they should reflect upon the fact that they are in clover compared with the hor- ribly treated Armenians. Efforts are being made to bring about an early repeal of the tax on ! luxuries but it doesn't make much difference whether if Is accomplished
 or not as far as the average buyer is concerned.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

For the first time since the draft of the constitution of the league of na- tious has been made public there has been set forth by the speech of Sena- Tor Lodge of Massachusetts in the upper house some of the features of that covenant about which thc people of the country are anxious to be in ,ormed. Senator Lodge didn't beat about tho bush. he didn't deal with seneralities but he went right to the core and by taking up the different articles pointed out what appeared to him to be some of the weaknesses.
 There is no matter before the coun- try today which is arousing more in tercSt than this constitution of the league of nations. The president has asked for the approval Of the people lut as yet he has failed to nut forth an explanation which furnishes tho enlightenment that is desired, and chat is what Senator Lodge has in- sisted upon.
 Whether or not the Monroe doctrine will he pushed aside is one of the things upon which there is much un- certainty. Tho president has said that if will not. because through the league the Monroe doctrine will be extended to the whole world. but it is tho contention of the Massa achusatts senator that "The Monroe doctrine ex- ists solely for the protection of the American hemisphere. and to that hemisphere it was limited. If you eX- tend it 10 all the world il ceases to exist because it rests on nothing but inc differentiation Of the American hemisphere from the rest Of the world Under the league all the ma tions maintain a supervision oyer the American hemisphere which has here tofore been the cherished duty of this country unselfshly administered and there is q. reluctance to abandon that for any say which we would have in guiding the Balkans, Turkey or any other part of Europe or Asia.
 Senator Lodge in his speech was in clined to the belief that it would mean new troubles and suggested amend inonts which ought to be carefully considered

INDIRECT LIGHTING.

Speaking of house decorating brings to mind a very pretty idea which a decorator is showing. This lew idea is in the indirect ceiling lamp. The bowl like shape is arranged with double glass fastened together with a brass screw. The new idea is between these two glasses. They come apart and they may be lined with any color to harmonize with the decoration of the room. A piece of cllintz may be inserted, and. To. the effect is as if etched upon the glass in most beau tiful manner. If one tires of this ef- feet one may place the plain colors and another entirely different effect is obtained. For festive occasions tho lamps may be decorated to accord with the rooms color scheme

RETURNING THE RAILROADS.

Since his return from Europe Di- rector General Hines has been con- ferring with President Wilson in re- gard to the railroad problem, and as the result he makes the announcement 10 the effect that the roads will not be turned back immediately to pri- vate control. That is some different than the declaration of Director Mo Adoo when in office to the effect that if the control of the roads was not extended to a five year period they would be at once returned to ths owners and there were certain things about the McAdoo proposition which the president was said to favor.
 The five year plan was opposed and equally so was the immediate return, for the idea of holding onto the roads for five years is considered entirely

CITY TREES.

Tree lovers cannot fail to be inter- ested in the policy which has been announced by the park commissioner ef New York to the effect that 5000 new trees are to be set out in the parks of that city this year. This does rot mean that 90 many young trees are 10 be planted in addition to what are already there, hut it is the plan to replace some 5000 dead trees which have been cut down and to plant others where it is considered they should be, and probably where there were trees at some early period.
 This shows recognition of the i'm portance of trees even in the biggest city in the country and the carrying out of. a policy of replacement wherever it is possible when tree has been removed for one reason or an ether. It Is frequently the case in business streets that trees have to be taken down in order to permit of reeded improvement or have to be removed because they have died. It is not always possible or advisable under such conditions to replace them,
 
 way but such is not the case very cften on residential streets or in the parks. There they are a decided as- set and when disease. injury or other cause makes it necessary to cut them down it is a commendabie idea that others should be put iii their places or approximately so.
 If such a plan is a good one fol New York city. it certainly is for other cities. Trees provide q benefit which can be obtained in no other way and it would be a grand good idea if other cities, whether noted for their attractive streets or not, would adopt the plan of at least maintaining the number of shade trees through such annual replacements.

The practicability of the Turkish towel for fashioning the poular comb ing jacket has been proved. It is rough and catches the falling hair better than any material. Its seIvage edges do away with hens and seams.

These edges are finished with a blue picoted crocheted and l1notted cord loop. The same button-loop arrange ment holds that surplice secure at the throat.
