THE GROWING CHILD By the U. S. Pubic Health Service
Parasitic Skin piseases.

Ringwork is also parasitic disease, easily spread where many children are gathered together. It begins as a red scaly patch, which becomes more or less circular. clearing up in the center as 1t spreads a t the margin. When the dis aase occurs on the skin it is much more amenable to treatment than when it at tacks the scalp In the latter location, ringworm is a repulsive obstinate disease, which causes the hair to become brittle and break off, leaving partially bald, scaly spots on the head. Though its treatment by X-ray in the hands of an expert promises hope of a cure in a short time this method is unavailable to the great majority of children. in whom the disease may run tedious course of six months or a year Hence every mother will be pa.=icularly anxious that htr child should be protected from this disease. Children with ringworm should not be allowed to mingle with other children unless the lesions are properly dressed and covered Iii ringworm of the

FIGHTING DISHONESTY

Perhaps you have had the experience of being told by the ticket agent that there were no Pullman car accommodate tions to be had, or no special train seats remaining, only to be informed by a friend that you didn't understand the ropes. that there were accommodations to be had if you went about it right and you found that your friend that your friend instead of the agent was right. Going about it right meant not simply to pay for the accommodation with you but substantial sum with which to cross the palm of the agent in his little hold-up game.
 If such has been your lot you can rest assured that you are not alone. It is reported that the Pennsylvania railroad has discharged seven ticket clerks and at the same time made an apeal to the public to give it all the assistance possi- ble in putting an end to such operations.
 This would indicate that one of the great railroads has awakened to a de- plorable situation and has set about cor recting it in a manner which ought to accomplish dNsirable results. This prac- tice is of course referred to as tipping.  Rather is it a case of bribing a clerk to carry on legitimate business between railroad and passenger as an agent of the railroad There would be just as much sense for a trainman to prevent 2 passenger with ticket from entering a cal where there are vacant seats until he i has handed a good sized bribe as there is for the ticket clerk to falsify regard ing Pullman car seats or berths unless he is given a handout
 Such dishonesty needs to be promptly dealt with. The Pennsylvania road ha: apparently been convinced that such con diitons exist and that it will not tolerate
 them. The long suffering public has ar opportunity to help itself provided 1t 1. willing to cooperate with the road bu human nature is strange, and there i
 no telling but what the railroads actiol
 will be looked upon as an injustice to
 the bribe exacting clerks and be learned ] with resentment.

 Pediculosis capitas is the condition brought about by the invasion of tne scalp by the head louse. It causes severe itching. resultant scratching, abrasions and inflammation of the scalp. The glands in the neck behind the ear may become enlarged, especially when the scratch marks become infected and contain matter pus). When a child is seen scratching the head. the presence of head lice may be suspected, and the discovery of nits, small white objects attached to the hairs, confirms the diagnois. It must be insisted that all children with head lice be free from the vermin before they are allowed to mingle with other children in school. Most parents are very anxious to rid their children of this pest and when it is simply a matter of lit tie crude petroleum, fine tooth comb wet with vinegar, and cleanliness of person and toilet articles, there is no excuse for keeping lice even if one has accident ally acquired them.
 To rid the child of head lice it is i'm. portant not only to kill the parasites themselves, but to destroy and remove the

CONCENTRATING ON wRANcEL.

If such reports as have been received give a correct report of the first serious clash between the forces of General Wrangel and those of the bolshevik gov ernment in Russia it is evident that the latter have been able to accomplish just what was anticipated following the end ing of the operations along the Polish front Tn spite of the conditions which are said to prevail in Russia and the predictions that the soviet government cannot pr,vail for a much longer period there still remains considerable amount Of fight among the bolshevih and s11fIi- eient men and equipment to put up an effective offensive.
 Confidence was expressed on the part of General Wrangel that he would be able to successfully keep back the bol- shevikl He apparently placed the eeti- mate of his strength too high and under estimated that of the enemy. Able to concentrate their forces in the south the bolsheviki lost no time in administering the very blow that t has been seeking to deliver at what seems to be the most for midable opponents within Russia at the present time.
 WrRngel's forces suffered from lack of number and lack of organization. In their defeat and retirement they are ap- parently moving backward in an orderly manner but prepared to go back over much of the territory they recently gain cd and retire to the crimea.
 Wrangel hasn't been crushed and his spirit has not been broken. And it will he interesting to note how much more outside help he can call 10 his assistance as the result of the bolshevik success. on

 Let the proponents of the league main tain as much as they like that the cleo ton results do not disclose the attitude of the people regarding the league such will not be accepted The league. it ,s true, was not the only big issue before the country. There were others and im- portant ones. but the league was never theless one which interested to a greater or less degree every voter who went to the polls. II was this question that was solemnly referred to the people It was this question that involved the independ- ence of this country It was this ques- ton that made every patriotic individual recognize the importance of declaring himself
 lt was not, as has been many times explained. a question whether the coun- try was going 10 put itself into the league of nations with clarifying rather than protective reservations and whether lt was going to become so entangled with foreign countries that it would be i'm possible to morally refrain from enter ing every European dispute. It was a question whether we were going to rush into internationalism or whether we were going to stand for Americanism and set in motion the efforts that will bring about an association of nations that will serve to prevent war without wrecking the Constitution of the United States
 The country recognized the necessity Of expressing itself upon this as we'll as the other issues. That it has done so there can be no doubt. It emphatieally supports the stand that was taken in be- half of Americanism by the United States a senate and the position that has been ' taken by Senator Harding and the re- publican party platform. National vel fare cannot be thrown overheard as was proposed. and the nation has not de- clared that 1t does not favor an under standing between nations for the pre- vention of war It has in fact made 1t doubly plain that it has confidence 1T the method proposed by Senator Harding for dealing with this matter ard 1t has spoken in no unmistakable figures.

 nits which otherwise will hatch and re- infect the scalp. Usually it is sufficient to thoroughly moisten the hair and the scalp with a mixture containing equal parts of kerosene and olive oil sl:<ken to- gether and allow this application to re main about twelve hours The child's scalp should then be thoroughly washed with warm water and soap to remove all traces of oil. After the hair has been dried by brisk rubbing it should be comb ed thoroughly wiuh a comb moistened in hot vinegar to remove the hits
 Both ringworm of the scalp and head lice are communicated by direct contact, and by articles used by the patient Chil- dren should never wear each others hats or 'caps, or hang them on each others pegs. They should use only individual brushes and combs, which should be kept scrupulously clean.
 Medical inspection of schools, with good follow-up work by nurse, offers the best method of ridding schools of itch, ring worm and head lice.

THE WOMEN VOTERS.

The women received the right to vote at a time which gave them an opportu- nifty to participate in the history making landslide. They were of course a fac tor in piling up the greatest vote ever rec orfed in the country and they receiv- ed the chance to stand by the country in supporting the standard bearers of the republican party in manner which plainly indicated that they were of much the same mind as the men.
 That they joined the procession that had already been formed is evidenced by the pluralities that were rolled up. That they were carried away by the pleas that had been put forth in behalf of the Wilson league under the g15se Of bt lg a preventive of war doesn'if ap- pear.

 y in Connecticut the tremendous ma jor- ities that were piled up made it plain that the women of the state were fully conscious tof the service that had been performed for the state and the neces- sty of retaining that same influence in Washington.

"And here, too. is another reason why I'm so fond of my Crawford. Tucked in behind those doors in the stove base is a pair of interchangeable hods.

Then can carrys the one with ashes down cellar, empty ii and bring it back full of coal-all in one trip.
 W
 "TTS the neatest, cleanest way of
 taking care of the ashes, and SO much easier to handle than the old fashioned ash-pan. And Hike to be able to keep my coal bod out of sight it makes the kitchen SO much tidier. "These twin hods are an exclusive feature of the Crawford Range-and so is the Single DamPer. Every day discover new Crawford advantages. One of them is its economy-I figure that the fuel it saves will just about pay for my range"
