C|CARETS FOR
HARDING TO Be
PUT UNDER BAN
Lucy Page CASTOR Has
Asked Dropping OF
Pills

Topeka, Kans.-Miss Lucy Page
CASTOR Of Chicago, superintendent of
the International Anti igaret league,
and now in Topeka working in the in
terests Of the organization, announced
that she had sent a letter to President
elect Harding asking him to not use
cigarettes.
The letter which Miss CASTOR pre-
pared following a meeting Of the Kan
a organization today, follows in
part:
"In a meeting of the newly-organiz-
ed board of the Kansas Anti Cigar
ct league the question was discussed
as to the influence especially upon the
youth, that cigarettes in the White
house are likely to have.
Gas you might expect, there were
those present who valiantly defended
you from the charge that you are a
friend of the little charmer.' Others
were SURF that during the campaign
you we're more than once photograph
ed with a cigaret.
"The ban was off during the war
with its 'cigarets for service craze
In returning to normally to invoke
a word of your own, is it not the part
Of wisdom to take the stand taken by
a well-known lawyer of Chicago, "the
war is yer and the cigaret is again
a poison
"The United States has had no
smoking president since Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft and Wilson all
have clear records. Is not this a
question of grave Importance ?"

KIDDING FIELDS OF G0PHERS
Poisoning Is by Far Most Effective
Means Of DISCRIMINATING De-
s%tructive Rodents.

Trapping and fumigation are two
of the more commonly %practiced meth
DDS Of Kidding fields of %gophers, but
poisoning is by far the more effective,
although great care must be exercised
in order to prevent poisoning of either
the operator or farm animals which
have access to the field. A very ac-
tive poison must be used. as, for ex-
ample, %strychnine or cyanide of potas-
stun. Pieces Of potato. apple or sweet
potato poisoned with strychnine cap
sules answer the purpose very well,
and raisins or prunes treated in this
way have been found to give very
good results.

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
WHATS A NATUROPATHf

We all know the "old school"
doctor OF Allopath whose theory OF
the practice of medicine is that dis
ease Is caused by germs in the body
and the drugs he gives are to neu-
tralize the poison disseminated in
the tissues by these germs.
The Homeopathic physician came
into existence as a protest against
the drastic medicines of a century
ago.
His theory is that Like Cures
Like"-Simila, Similibus Curantur.
The founder CT this SCHOOL discov-
ed that every symptom of Illness
could be overcome by administering
a drug which would produce the
same symptoms.
The Osteopaths, a more recent
product, believes that obstructed
functions can be overcome by the
manipulation of the bony structure
relieving certain pressure on the
soft tissues.
The Naturopathic School is one of
the latest 1t teaches. as the name
implies, the restoration Of health by
following Nature. 1t declares dis
ease to originate with an accumu-
lation of waste materials in the
blood and gives as cause of this
condition. heredity plus abuse of
the body through unnatural meth

vocates light. loose clothing. diet

What 5 in a Name?
NINA.
By Mildred Marshall.

Though Nina has a typically
French sound, the name is regard
ed as English. However, 1t came
to us through the French by a
lengthy process of evolution. The
Hebrew Chanaach was its earliest
source and from this word it de-
rived its significance of grace"
Through the English Hannah, 1t
came to France as Anne and was
soon given the derivative. Annette,
AS Nanette. it appeared simultane-
ously, but the French love OF va
riety changed the latter form 10
Nanon and finally Ninon.
The beauty and fame OF Ninon
de L'EncIos. superwoman and court
"vamp'' in the reign of Louis XIV,
spread her name afar. 1t became
almost a synonym for charmer and
the maids of several countries COW
eted it. But Ninon is too Gallo for
English ears, so. in its transporta-
tion across the Channel. the ending
underwent a change and Nina was
the final result. 1t has enjoyed ex-
traordinary vogue in this country.
The diamond is Nina's talismanic
gem. 1t is the emblem of fearless
ness and invinvcibility and prom
ises its wearer success in all un-
dertakings and freedom from mis-
givings. According to an old su-
perstition. II enchances the love or
