Recognizing Irish Independence.

Congress can serve no good purpose BY
adopting resolution favoring the indspehd-
ence Of Ireland Sim feiners who urge that
course upon the United States are injuring
their own cause. To tempt congress into an
act Of international i'll will as an slectioneerng
dodge, ID to beepatter the responsibilities Of
American statesmanship
Recognition of the independence of q Sc
ceding part Of foreign nation is always an
affair for cautious diplomatic procedure. There
must first be established in the insurgent area
government with some claim to sovereign
powers No such government has been Gre
ated by the Sim fem agitators.
During the American Civil war there were
Englishmen who wanted Great Britain to rec
ognize the independence Of the south On one
occasion, Charles Francis Adams, the Ameri-
can minister in London brought the matter
to the attention of Lord Russell minister of
foreign affairs. Adams said he would have
to begin thinking about packing his carpetbag
and trunks if the British government began
thinking about acknowledging the independ-
ence of the southern states
This hint of severance Of diplomatic re-
lations brought from Lord Russell the reply
that his governments policy was ito leave
this struggle to settle itself
No better advice could be given to congress
at the present time about Ireland. Sir Auck-
land Geddes might not pack his carpetbag and
trunks If congress should recognize the indie
pendence of Ireland. But this would be only
because congressional resolutions in presiden-
tial years are taken no more seriously abroad
than at home. 1t is time. by the way, this no.
torous condition ended. Ward politics should
cease to inspire the viewpoint OF congress in
foreign relations.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / have
been married just short time and
few days ago We moved in with
my husbands people. At first they
were very nice, but now some Of
the family are very jealous Of me
because l married the baby boy and
he was always pet.
| try to be nice, but they get
angry. 1t must be jealousy, for
they haven't any right whatever to
be peeved.
Do you think we ought to move !?
LONELY MADGE.
Probably your husbands mar
rage was great disappointment
to his people and they are not able
to conceal the fact. If he married
when he was not able to support
you and himself and then took you
home to live, it is only natural that
they should object.
You should have realized the out
come of such a marriage yourself
and insisted upon waiting until you
could afford home of your own.
Now the only thing for you to do
is to be very grateful and show all
the appreciation you can for the
home which has been furnished
you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have

man for over a year. He is several
years older than l am and rather
stern. At FIRST | did not even like
him, but in time l learned to re-
spect him greatly and then to love
him.
He is a married man with two
grown children His wife does not
love him and he is not happy at
home. He says he loves me more
than anyone in the world.
Since he is SO unhappy do you
think it is wrong for me to return
his love? IN DOUBT.
It is wrong for you to remain
with your present employer. No
good can come from it and you are
only paving the way for great I'M
happiness for yourself. The man
may love you in a way, but he will
not give up his present home life
to have you To get divorce and
marry a .stenographer is something
which most men have not the cour-
age to do.
The difference in your ages is an
other reason why you cannot eX-
pect this love to last. Do the sens
BILE thing. Ask your employer to
give you a recommendation and
then get a position elsewhere so
that neither you nor the man viii
be tempted to continue your Illicit
love.

he Purpose ef Blood Tralsfssien.

The Purpose Of Blood TRANSMISSION.
One professional doctor IN New
York has given 80 quarts Of blood
for TRANSMISSION into the veins of
other persons, for which he has re-
ceived S1,70c, in SO different trans
fusions in a period of six and one
half years. At the beginning he
weighed It's pounds. Six and one
half years later he weihgtd 201
pounds. Meanwhile he had lost his
total volume Of blood about ten
times. His hemogoblin, measured
two months after his last donation
Of blood, was 70 per cent, whereas
the normal is between 30 and 100
per cent. Otherwise he was III
good health.
A healthy donor may safely give
as much as one-fourth Of his total
volume OF blood in TRANSMISSION. An
infant may safely receive from
three to five ounces Of blood from
healthy donor. An adult may re-
ceive Up to a quart OF blood.
Blood TRANSMISSION is the ideal
treatment for a person who has
had q hemorrhsge. It not only re-
places the blood lost in the hem
orrhage, but it stops bleeding when
perhaps no other expedient will
stop it. TRANSMISSION of a few ounces
Of blood from healthy parent or
near relative into the veins of a
new born infant has saved life in
countless cases of uncomfortable
bleeding from the navel, mouth,
stomach or bowel.
TRANSMISSION is perhaps the best
remedy for hemorrhage in hemo-
philia. (bleeders.1
For severe anemia a TRANSMISSION
of normal blood yields results su-
perior TO any other known treat
ment, although the TRANSMISSION is
not a specific cure. Small amounts
of blood appear to accomplish about
as much in anemia as do large
amounts.
In certain cases Of extreme de-
bility from infection, from shock
or from some grave toxemia or sys-
temic poisoning incident to disease
TRANSMISSION will temporarily in
crease the patients vitality and pos
sibly tide over a crisis or make an
operation feasible.
Il is essential to determine that
the donor is absolutely free from
disease of communicable nature
also to determine that the donor

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
An Earful for the Baby.

Your articles are a source OF al
most daily discussion in our house
hold. For the past week l have
noticed while cleaning my baby's
ears The is eight months old that
his right ear is not entirely free Of
wax. So put in olive Gil, thinking
the wax had hardened. Is there
anything you could suggest? He Is
healthy and the ear does not seem
to trouble him, but he protests
against my inserting cotton to clean
it. MRS. P. B. CD
Answer-The baby displays a
little sense, acquired, perhaps, from
his pa. The cerumen or ear wax
is secreted in the ear for a purpose
Do not try to remove it, and never
insert anything in the ear canal.

Has had the backing Of public sentiment in its
fights for more adequate wage scale and bet
ter working conditions. The feeling that the
demands Of the men were just and the knowl-
edse that they would be benehciaries made

is pretty well established that the Davenport
lines cannot be operated on scent basis. and
1t is certain that the men cannot live and keep
! their families on 33 cents an hour. The situa-
ton over there. however, is one that has been
precipitated by the city council, which is pre-
sumed to have the support Of majority of
the people, having been elected on a platform
pledging it to reduce fares. Those who pre-
cipitated the transportation crisis should be
forced to see it through. 1t isn't fair or just
TO invoke direct action against Illinois patrons
to help rectify wrong for which they are in
no manner responsible and to remedy which
they can do little nothing.
Rock Island, Moline and East Moline have
no leading strings on Davenport or its adj
ministration. In fact it is entirely possible that
Davenporters would take a certain degree
of satisfaction in seeing their neighbors on
this side forced to walk when they do. Misery
as rule, does not object to having company
II it comes to test of endurance Iowa pa
irons probably would rather pay 7-cent fares
than do without street car service. 1t stands
to reason that they will reach that conclusion
more quickly with the illinois lines running
than If they also are tied up.
Davenport has had all the best Of it in

concessions from the company that Rock Is
