More foreign governments are represented
by embassies and legations in Washington
than in any other capital in the world. In all
~ countries have accredited representatives
there Besides these there are many unofficial
representatives of nationalities seeking recog-
milton from the American government Chief
among these latter are representatives of the
Irish, ukrainians, Armenians, Lithuanians and
Albanians. Only the states of Monaco and San
Marine appear to remain unrepresented.
Albania, whose status is one OF the prin-
cipal points Of controversy in the Adriatic
problem, has as its "envoy" C. A. Chekrezi, a
Harvard university, one of the first of his
country ever to appear in America on a pro-
fessed governmental mission. Another of the
Balkan states, Montenegro, still maintains its
legation despite the incorporation Of Monte

deposition OF former King Nicholas. whom the
legation ostensbly represented. Bulgaria, a

against the allies, and yet represented here by

Then she explained her idea of al
lowing girls to come to her own

they could learn the routine work

don't think that your trained minds
can easily master the intricacies of

lieve is wrong. A girl without col

Some plants do fairly well in wild state

important factors referred to united effort is
all the more necessary.
This evening It will be decided whether to
continue the career of the Rock Island club,
Chamber of Commerce and Business Mems as
ISOLATION either together, as during the last
three years, or separately. The advisability
of dropping one or the other, or all of them
will be frankly considered. Lack OF support,
especially financial support, is argued against
continuing the club and the Chamber Of

Rock Island is in danger Of being permit

This city has had Chamber of Commerce

degrees. Is that q sign Of anything
wrong? What would you advise!
(Mrs. G. E. c.
Answer-A live boy should have
a temperature Of approximately SO
about bedtime. Your query illus
trates. I think, the unwisdom Of
keeping a clinical thermometer or
a wielder Of one in the house. l
would advise that you present the
thermometer with your best wishes
to some poor rich family that can
afford it.
Bromide.
Kindly give your opinion OF
tabloids Of triple bromides. What
are they usually prescribed for. and
are they harmful if taken continu-
ously? Mrs. D. M. d.
Answer-The bromides Of sod
ium, potassium and ammonium
compressed in tablet form. Heaven
only knows why the three are used
together-no doctor does. l fancy.
Bromides club the nervous system
into temporary dizziness. Such
drugs are exceedingly harmful if
taken for a long time.
Water Does Not Hurt Little Girls.
1 am a little girl IL years old, and
I drink a prodigious amount of
water, though no tea or coffee or
milk. Do you think so much water
will injure my health in any way?

Answer-No. But little girls
should always drink milk II they
want to be healthy, happy and

applied to a baby's head to make
the hair grow? 2. Does cutting a
child's hair tend to thicker it? &C.

Dad, don't be six years late. The
