On the Map.

Rock Islands name figured in the press
dispatches printed yesterday by every daily
newspaper in the land having news report,
and it wasn't because of a riot, Jail delivery
a hanging. All this publicity came through
being on the trans-continentaI air route and
landing place in the sea to sea derby.
We'll. what of it, some will say, what
will we gain by being mentioned in the press
Dispatcher?
1t means that all the newspaper readers in
the country have been reminded that Rock
Island is on the map. It means that they were
apprised of the fact that this city is on the
most direct line Of travel connecting the large
eenters of the country from>New York to San
Francisco. It means the difference between
being alive and being dead.
Live cities everywhere appreciate the value
OF that sort Of publicity and are ready to fight
for It That is why Davenport. with its laud-
able spirit of get there" tried to get the
landing field away from Us and might have
succeeded had there been a little more time
Rock Island got the landing field without
asking for it. 1t could have good many other
things that are valuable to a city for the ask
ing, backed with a little intelligent cooperative
effort
Let stick together to get what is CON-
ing to US, as well as to keep what we already
have

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am %
years of age and have been en-
gagged 10 girl two years my jun
ior for a few months. We get
along famously except at dances.
She dances and / don't. AS far as
dancing is concerned I don't OBJ
ject, but l promised my mother not
to dance or marry a girl who did.
This promise was given on account
of some family trouble we had not
long ago. have asked this girl
to stop and have told her OF this
promise, but she thinks l am ask
ing too much of her. l take her
to all good shows and try to mak5
her happy in all ways. l would
like your opinion of this.
UNHAPPY LOVER.
1t seems to me that your mother
was unreasonable about asking
for your promise. Trouble can
come in a thousand ways, not only
through dancing. Since neither you
nor the girl have scruples against
dancing, you should let her dance
although you do not do il yourself
Otherwise you would be making
her a victim of your mothers
prejudice.
Your own conscience should
guide you in all things, therefore
I cannot advise you about your
promise. If your mother is still
alive, explain TO her that you can
not keep it and be fair to the girl
you love.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My faith 9r
and mother are living, but my
father is a confirmed drunkard and
there are five children in my fam
lily besides myself. / am Is years
old and finished high school last
year
I am very anxious to go to col
lege and take a literary or bust
ness course, but haven't means to
go. l don't want to clerk in a
store, as l want to fit myself for

made in a report submitted by q civic asso-

have been futile. resulting in nothing more
drastic than an official whitewashing The
conclusion is reached that what the city needs
is not more policemen but greater freedom
Of action for present members of the force to
make arrests and less danger that in doing
so they may lose their Jobs as a result of in

SMeatY Feet.

SWeaty Feet
Excessive perspiration OF the
feet is due to several errors Of
hygiene. First there is the relax
ing effect of the abnormally tight
shoes worn by most women and
some of our most effeminate men
Then there is the foot strain pro-
duced by pointed and out-turning
soles. Finally there is a smother

sufferers from excessive perspira-
ton of the feet would take advant-
age Of every opportunity TO go bare
foot especially in the open air they
would find the condition much less
troublesome.
Often more or less odor accom-
panies excessive sweating about
the feet. A certain slight odor lis
natural IN Precipitation, but If the
perspiration is pent up or con
fined for a time some OF the fatty
and heterogeneous matters present in
sweat quickly undergo decomposi-
ton and give rise to foul odors.
One of the best remedies for ex-
cessive perspiration whether ma
lodorous or not is a daily bathing
of the feet in cool water, contain
ing q tablespoonful of formalin (40
per cent Solution OF Formaldehyde)
in a quart of water.
1t is better not TO battle the feet
in hot water, and not TO battle at
all very frequently.
Low. loose, roomy, properly
shaped shoes. with a reasonably
broad toe and never the toothpick
last, should be worn.
The stockings may be wrung out
in solution of an ounce of. boric
acid and an ounce of salicylic acid
in a quart of boiled water and al
lowed TO dry over night; or at least
the stocking feet may be so treated.
Another remedy often effective is
the free use Of a busting powder of
alum inside the stocking feet and
inside the shoes.
Still another good remedy is a
soaking of the feet at night in a

lowing this to dry on.
If the skin between the toes IS
mace-rated the toes must be kept
separated with little folds of clean
dry gauze or absorbent cotton
freely powdered with a mixture OF
one part of salicylic acid in 10
parts of zinc stearate or common
talcum powder. These absorbent
pads must be changed as often as
they become soaked with perspira-
ton.
There is no remedy better than
few hours of exposure TO the
sun with the feet bare.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Rubber Soles.
Does the wearing of rubber soled
shoes have any effect on the eyes
or the eyesight? miss p. e.
Answer-No.
Removal of TOnSils.
I. Is there any danger of bleed
ing 10 death from having the tom
sils removed? ?. How long must
one stay in the house after having

eased tonsils ruin the health il
not taken out? Miss l.. j.
Answer. Yes, about one
chance in ten thousand. ?. Not at
all. The sooner the patient gets out
OF doors the better. II general
anesthesia is employed the patient
is usually kept abed for day. But
the patient should not associate in
discriminatory with people on a
crowded street, for example, as a
precaution against infection. 3.
Diseased tonsils, meaning infected
tonsiIs and not merely enlarged
tonsils, often do ruin the health.

Brad's O. Verse
Home.

Home
What's the answer when you're
weary and are feeling lone and
dreary and the glooms are chasing
up and down and round and round
your dome? Don't you wish the
clock would hurry? Don't you long
to leave the worry? Don't you want
to lock the troubles in the steel
vault, and go home? There is
nothing quite so rosy when the
lonesomes knock us dozy. as the
fond anticipation Of the rudy old
home fire. It's the time-old instinct
pleading for the pathway home
ward leading from the dark and
dismal jungle to the Land Of
Hearts Desire. 1t is home we long
to amble when the turmoil and the
scramble seem to press their
weight upon us, without prospect
Of relief. There the smiles are al
ways truest, and the frowns are
always fewest. and it's there we
find forgetfulness from petty care
and grief When you're feeling
tired and worried, and incompetent
and Hurried, when the daily grind's
a nuisance and existance is a bore,
It's for home your heart goes
yearning, FOR the love light softly
burning. for the welcome true and
tender that awaits you at the door

THE DAILY SHORT STORY

when the two faces did not float
across his mental vision. He made
it a point to ride on the cars Of the
line where he met them. He long
ed to locate them and make an ex-
cuse for seeing them again and
the returning of the photograph
proofs. Then after a month when
he had given up hopes Of again
meeting them a whimsical, yet half
romantic impulse, led him to cut
out one Of the photos in circular
shape and place it in the inside
case OF his watch.
Once a friend caught a glimpse
Of the picture and rallied Wisner
as 70 a mysterious lady love, and
the fantasy rather pleased the
young lone bachelor. At all
events a certain sentimentality
came into his experience that lift
ed him above the dull grind of his
routine labors. 1t was upon an
occasion when he was strollfng
along the street at which mother
and child had alighted that. some

contact with a rushing automobile.

him forward so forcibly that his
head struck the curb and he was

his identity. 1t CHANGED that Wis

Q. Is the present government Of
France and its president social
istic? o. NJ. K
A. President Poincaire is not a
Socialist, and the Socialist party
does not rule in France.
Q. Is it possible for a snake to
charm a human being? NJ. G. S.
A. The Biological Survey says it
is impossible for a snake to charm
a human being.
@. What is the negro population
of the United States? H. ].
A. There were. 9,S27,763 negroes
in this country when the last census
was taken.
@. Are the men who served in
the United States Merchant Marine
during the war entitled to the $50
bonus? G. T.
A. They are not. The question of
giving a bonus to persons who
have served in Merchant Marine
has been referred to congress but
to date nothing has been done
along this line.
Q. How did the government get
its flour during the war? d. H. V.
A. 1t bought the wheat at the
fixed price, took this raw material
to the mills, studied the mills TO
determine the cost of grinding a
barrel of flour at each of them, paid
them that price, plus a profit of
rs cents on each barrel, and took
the flour away.

those who carried him thither
were not made aware of his being
a comparative stranger to it's in
mates. Mrs. Lora Morse and her
little child recognized their hero
OF the street car episode the mo-
ment of his appearance, and a
heightened color came to the
cheek Of the young widow when
the incident of the photograph
came to light. Wisner came back
to consciousness little the worse
for his rude shake up to meet the
solicitous glance of the object of
his dreams for a long time past.
Then explanation, renewed kisses
from the affectionate little Corinne
and an invitation to call again.
There came a happy moment to
Boyd Wisner somewhat later. 1t
was after he had told Lora Morse
OF his love. Her dropping eyes
lifted, bearing a half-shy, half
mirthful expression.
Tell something" she whispered,
and he leaned toward her.
"Other cheek" and the romance
Of his life was fulfilled.

rapid movement he threw himself
forward. A shower of glass rained
over him, slightly cutting one
cheek and his hands. Where a
corner of the box struck his back
there was painful jar, but he had
thrust the little child safe into the
arms of her alarmed mother.
Thence she put out her arms to-
ward him, as if fully conscious OF
his heroic service.

bylike prattle. and Wisner. sup
posing that she wished to whisper
something, learned forward to re-
ceive a kiss on one cheek.
"Other face" said the little one,
and the other cheek was kissed
as well.

Q. What is the proper way to
place an address on an envelope
A. r.
A 1t should be written in the
following form:
Frederick J. Haskln.
Washington.
1895 You Street. D. c.
The reason for writing the ad-
dress this way is that the mail m. y
be handled more expeditiously by
the post office department. The
clerks who handle the letter
through all of the stages of it's
journey, from the writer TO the re-
cipient, are not interested in the
street address. When the street
address is placed as here indicated
1t may be ignored until it finally
reaches the letter carrier.
