ordinary salts employed as a ca

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
young married woman of 81 and
awfully unhappy. I have two small
children. My husband tells me he
doesn't love me and that he loves
girl he was engaged to before We
were married.
II leave him could he be made
to keep the children? His mother
is always telling him things that
aren't true and he believes them
and gives her money when 1 need
it worse than she does. Does he
do right?
Please give me advice as am
very unhappy and can't stand it
any longer.
DISCOURAGED WIFE.
Your husband can be made to
support the children, and there is a
chance that you yourself can col
lect alimony. 1t would be well to
talk to a lawyer and see what he
can do to straighten your circum-
stances. Unless the man is willing
to do the right thing, alimony is
rather hard to collect.
A gentleman never taunts his
wife with the statement that he no
longer loves her. Such q thing is
inexcusable. A man who cheats a
girl by making her his wife with
out love, should repay in every
other way possible-with respect,
consideration and money. or
course your husband should not
give his mother money when she
does not need it and you do.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am
going to visit in a large city this
summer. viii you please tell me
of what my wardrobe should con-
sist.
Please tell me how to decline an
invitation when asked to dance, as
do not know how to dance.
Should the finger nails extend
over the end of the fingers?
MABEL.
Your wardrobe should be suited
to your own circumstances and the
circumstances of the people you are
to visit. For a simple wardrobe
would suggest suit, three or four
waists, voile frock, an afternoon
or evening dress and a coat to wear
with your dresses. Besides this
you should have the necessary IN
derwear, shoes and hosiery. One
hat ought to be enough.
Thank the man and say that you
do not dance.
The upper part Of the nail, which
does not touch the flesh of the I'M
ger, appears to be whittier than the
rest of the nail. The white part
should be from one-eighth to a
quarter of an inch long. 1t should
extend at least to the end of the
finger, but not far beyond.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have a
friend who is now in France. He
has been writing to me for some
time and is very serious in his, let
tiers. He expects to be home soon
and as l care for nothing more than
his friendship, what shall l do?
The fellow 1 have been going
with and care about has returned
from service and since doing so he
does not seem to care for work, al
though 1 am turning against him.
Do you think he will change?
TROUBLED.
When the soldier returns you will
have to tell him that you care for
him only as a friend. You should
not have let things go so far. When

ABOUT PRECEDENTS.
ringfield (Mass.) Republican.

Springfield tMaSS.1 RepuDllcan-
The idea that the league of ma
tions is too much of an innovation
in our national policy to be includ-
ed in the peace treaty does not
stand the test of presidents. The
acquisition of the Philippine is
lands involved radical departure
from our previous policy of terri
torial expansion, and that acquisi-
ton was based not on the right OF
conquest, but on simple purchase.
Yet the purchase of the Philippines
and the development of the repub-
lie into an oriental power went
through the United States senate
as part of the treaty Of peace with
Spain.
As momentous an event as one
can recall in our history, under the
constitution, except the Civil war,
was the Louisiana purchase. Presi-
dent Jefferson, on his own initia-
tive, bought that enormous western
empire from France in 1903 without
consulting the United States senate
or any other public body or person
age. There were Massachusetts, peo-
pie who thought that such an act
was unconstitutional and Jefferson
himself agreed with them; many
thought also that such an extension
Of the federal governments juris-
diction and power meant the sure
extinction of the states and of
American liberties and the end of
republican institutions. But, when
the time came, the senate ratified
Jefferson's treaty.
Most of the big things In our his
tory have been done through the IN
itiative of our presidents and not by
the United States senate. They have
often been done through treaties
that the senate found itself forced
to ratify. II Wilson is wrong, the
senate may reject his work. But he
is Selling an opportunity that may
not come again ii a century.
Precedent, at least, does not forbid
him to act.

Remedial Value of Bacterlns.

Remedial Value OF Racter1ns.
In the talk about tuberculosis
and tuberculin the other day we
described the local reaction at the
point of injection of tuberculin in
a person who has latent or active
tuberculosis anywhere in the body;
also the general or systematic re-
action (feverishness folio wing the
Injection; and the focal reaction
increase of inf1ammatory activity
about the site of the tuberculous
lesion.)
The same characteristic reac-
tons occur If killed typhoid bacilli
are injected in a patient with ty-
phoid fever, and in fact similar
specific reactions are observed in
many different infections.
Suppose for example, a patient is
suffering with constantly recurring
crops of boils. The trouble goes
on from month to month, some
time for years, ana everybody be-
lieves that there must be some
thing wrong with his blood"
Usually the staphylococcus au-
reus is the germ that puts the run
in furunculosis. This point is cas-
lily determined by meteorological
examination of the pus from a boil.
Proved that the staphylococcus au-
reus is guilty, the preparation of a
bacterin (vulgarly known as a vac
cine) from the culture is a simple
matter for the bacterioiogist. A
good stiff dose of this killed Gull
ture of staphylococcus aureus in
jected as an ordinary nypodermic
injection is comparable with the
injection or incubation of a tu-
berculous patient with Guberculin.
The site of injection becomes
swollen, red and somewhat pain
full, perhaps there is q moderate
feverishness or malaise some hours
after the injection, and the PIN
Piles or boils seem rather worse for
day or two. But these positive
reactions are soon followed by
marked improvement. Tho boils
begin to clear up. Evidently some
thing good for the patients blood
has been administered Nature out
natured, that's all. After several
days, not over a week or so, sec
ond dose, and in q few days q
third, and so on, will maintain the
steady improvement unit! in a few
weeks tho boils are but a bad
memory.
That is the modus operandi. the
how-it-works, of all bacterins (bac-
terial vaccines) employed by physl-
clans in the treatment of a variety

Mexican Salad-Cut of the tops
of six peppers, remove the seeds
and veins and place in a bowl of
ice cold water. Mix together two
chopped tomatoes, one Spanish
onion and one red pepper: add a
spoonful of chilli sauce, little salt,
three tablespoons cracker crumbs
and enough olive oil to moisten
well. Take the shells from the
water, dry them carefully and fill
them with the mixture. Chill, cover

Every farmer and cattleman knows that
poor fences make 'breachy' cattle. Recent ex-
periences in this county show that poor jails
make ''breachy' prisoners. Just as the farmer
whose fences are neglected and whose cattle
become a neighborhood nuisance is unpopular
among the neighbors the county which neg
lects to provide a safe Jail gets lot of I'M

HIS MISTAKE.

He called her "angel" when she said
She would be his for life,
And wedding her he had no dread
OF chickering's and strife;
Repeatedly to me he said
With other foolish things:
81 tell you she's an angel, Ned!
Why all she lacks is wings"
But now ten years have passed away
He Is not quite so blind,
And, when he speaks of her today
His views are changed, ! fnq;
Her praises he no longer sings,
But frankly says: "'E CAD!
used to think she must have wings,
BY JOVE! 1 WISH SHE HAD!"

Tie Lowell-Lodge Debate.

Senator Lodge is not opposed to league
of nations, but he is opposed to letting Presi-
dent Wilson get away with the lions share Of
the credit for organizing one. That is made
more apparent than ever by the line of argu-
Inent be advanced in the debate at Boston last
night with DR.. A. Lawrence Lowell president
OF Harvard university. The senator cannot be
against the principle-he dare not be-and so
he is clubbing over forms and minor details
simmered down without doubt the residue
win be found to consist mainly of personal and
political motives
/ DR.. Lowell made many good points in con-
tending for a league. One was that war, like
IRE, has a tendency to spread and no one in
ton which his neighbors have not a right to
put out" Among other telling passages in
his address are the following:
Let US remember that in its present
shape the covenant is intended only as
a draft, subject to correction; for If it
were regarded as finished and unchange-
able 1t would not have been given out
until submitted for ratification. 1t Is
that embodies much of compromise For
the first time we have an experiment in
open diplomacy the public being admit
ted to inspect the process before it is
completed. 1t would certainly be IN
fortunate for that experiment II crth-
cism of the draft were purely destruc-
3 tive; and yet we have so far had no
criticism of a constructive character.
From those, and they are many, who pro-
Tess to believe in a league OF nations,
but not in this particular plan, We have
heard little or nothing of the way this
plan could be improved to meet their
views Criticism seems to have been
left almost wholly to those who object
to league Of nations altogether.
The fear Of a super-sovereign body,
: to which we are asked to sacrifice our
independence, is the creation of an over
heated Imagination. If we assume that
the covenant means what it says, and
not something wholly different, moor
gan of the league has any authority to
give commands to this country that need
give a moments anxiety. The only
substantial powers that any such body
is to possess, beyond making recommen-
dations which we may follow or not as
we think right, are derived from
unanimous decision in an international
dispute, and from the right to forbid an
increase In ornaments or to direct the
duties of mandate in case we first
agree to the reduction of ornaments or
to the assumption of the mandate.
This misunderstanding OF the nature
Of the league proposed, and of the func-
tons of Its organs, is the foundation of
most of the objections raised against
the covenant. If the United States is
not subject to the orders Of the executive
council, or under any obligation to adopt
its recommendations, it is senseless to
talk of our being ruled by body in
which we have only one vote out OF nine

imaginary scarecrow of their own crea-

MOTION PICTURE CENSORSHIP.


A bill is now pending in the state
Legislature providing for state cen
sorship of motion pictures. Under
the plan the power for censoring
motion pictures would be delegated
to a board, that could arbitrarily
say what the people could see and
what they couldn't see. This board
would be politically appointed and
politically controlled. Public ap-
prevail or public disapproval would
have no voice. A group of men,
probably prejudiced, probably with
their hands out, could dictate to the
millions OF people of the state of
Illinois the films they would be al
lowed to enjoy.
No matter how many boards or
commissions there are, the demand
is always being made for the crea-
ton of more. The supply of job
holders has never yet run out, and
