I think these spells come from his stomach or bowels. Please let me know your opinion.-Mrs. E. J.
 Answer: I note the formula you refer to of five to Is drops of sweet spirits of hitter in Q giassful of wa ter. This is a comparatively harm less remedy in any condition of uri- nary weakness. It is mostly for that purpose, however, and if the child is suffering from congestion and is feverish it might be a quick means of relief. The soda water baths, as well as hot vinegar baths would be very beneficial together with enemas and cold congresses. They are ex- ceIlent methods of treatment. When ever you find feverish conditions, however, it is wise to examine the feet before placing the cold com presses to the head. Always be sure to see that the feet are warm before putting cold congresses to any part of the body. Castor oil and rhubarb are both excellent for cleaning out the aIimentary canal
 The trouble in the case of your child is in all probability due to dn- digestion. He should never be. a1- lowed to eat his supper later than 6 o'clock and I1e should not be allowed to eat heartily. Bread and milk

There arc certain laws which gov ern the universe and changing condd- tions in the human body does not change those laws. Under certain physical conditions our bodies are affected by the same laws that cause the needle to point north and under cerafn kinds of disease our bodies will not respond to those laws Dr. White worked out a simple and complete plan whereby any intelligent person can accurately diagnose with adbso- fIte certainty the condition of the human being and not only is sickness made known but the kind of sickness.
 It is obviously impossible to explain how the method works. Dr. White has written a book of about ], 300 pages telling physicians all about it and many of them are now fully equipped to use it, What is wanted most and always is certainty. Know the cause, remove it and nature does the curing.

Hoover Plan Enables Rela.

ministration. through whose work.
ings people in Central and East
ern European countries can be sup
piled with food by relatives and
friends on this side of the ocean, is
to be put into operation within a
few days.
Mr.. Hoover's plan provides for the
sale OF food drafts. to be purchased
from banks of the American Bank
ers' Association. The drafts will
be drawn upon food supplies which
are stored in warehouses in large
cities OF the needy countries. and
will be honored upon presentation.
The sending of money to Euro
peans for food helps them not at all
just now. Mr.. Hoover pointed out.
Food supplies are meagre and the
food is rationed. The warehouse
supplies. against which the new
form OF draft is to be issued. how
ever. are free from ratioping regu-
lations. The use of the drafts is
expected to be very heavy. as be-
tween 5000. GOO and 1000. 900 Ameri-
can families, Mr.. Hoover Estimates.
have relatives or friends in famine
stricken sections OF Europe and
most of these families will wish
to render assistance.
Two assortments of food sup
plies will be given to Europeans
presenting the drafts. One Is for
Christians and is marked "A" The
other is for Jews. marked b.
They differ only in the substitution
TO Jews for pork products OF seven
and one-hslf pounds of cooking oil
and twelve cans of milk, in a SO
package. The SO package for a
Christian consists OF twenty-four
and one half pounds OF -four. ten
pounds of beans. eight pounds of
bacon and eight cans Of milk.
Drafts of $50 denomination will
also be sold.

charges that the departments course
during the war wos characterized by
lack Of responsiveness and co-opera-
ton with the officials abroad and that
his verbal instructions before going
abroad were that the United States
would as soon fight the British as
the Germans.
Senator Hale announced that the
investigation into the matter OF
awards will be concluded this week.
Admirals Knight and Benson and
Secretary Daniels will be heard and
this part of the investigation will be
closed while the other charges are
taken up.
Admiral Mayo. commander Of the

the committee today. He disagreed
with the views expressed by Admiral
Sims on two important points. He
declared that the service of the men
at sea entitled them to fully as much
recognition as the men on shore, and
also defended the board of officers
which made changes in the recon-
mendations for naval honors.
