STIFFNESS, chilliness ON trtding
exposure, and aggravation Of more
or less constant nose and throat
trouble are symptoms familiar
enough in persons with simple
chronic rhinitis (chronic inflamma-
ton of the lining Of the nasal
chambers). The extremely COM
mon occurrence OF this simple
chronic rhinitis-due to bad gen.
eral hygieue-accounts for the OBJ
stinacy with which most victims
cling to the delusion of catching
cold. The chilliness or STIFFNESS
comes on from one cause or an
other, say from a too hearty feed:
but leave it to Molly to ferret out
some fancied exposure to draft.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Corn Bread and Milk.
We eat corn bread and milk for
supper every alternate day and are
very fond of it, but we have been
told 1t is unhealthful to eat 1t so
often. Would like to know the
facts. IOWA.
Answer-Corn is q thoroughly
nourishing and healthful food, and
I know no reason why you should
not eat it every other day. and
milk can scarcely be taken too
freely for health. Corn is full Of
fuel energy and may produce more
body warmth than you want IN
| very warm weather.
Chink Laundry Methods.
Kindly tell me whether there is
any risk to health in wearing cloth
ing washed and ironed in Chinese
laundry. The Chinese laundryman
sprinkles clothes by squirting wa
ter on them from his mouth before
ironing. E. w. s.
Answer-The heat Of ironing is
! SUFFICIENT to sterilize clothes l
know no reason why health should
be affected by wearing such
clothes.
Playmates.
| Should normal children aged s,
s and 10 years play with moron
or rather feeble-minded child 13
years old? C. H. G.
Answer-No. Children, learn as
much in play as in school. You
would not want the children kept
several grades back Of their proper
classes In school.

THE OLD MALADY.

When the balmy breeze comes blowing,
When the buds begin to burst,
When the earth with green 10 glowing.
Then my soul begins to thirst
For the cool and woodsy places
Nong the tall and leafy trees
Where wild now'rs in Natures vases
Bud and blossom as they please.
where the birds are gaily winging IS
Tord . sky Of azure hue.
Whore q brook ID softly singing
In . strain that's old. yet new:
Where the grass is deep and waving
Like . billowy green sea,
Where there is no ONCE shaving
That IL where I'd like to be.
Where there are no wild supporters
OF q fay'rite candidate,
Where there are no cub reporters
Fearing lest their 'stuff's' too late;
Where all editors are missing.
Where a printing press is not!
Where / cannot hear the Kissing
OF that dev'lish melting pot
Where there's no discordant volume
OF earsplitting, deaf'ning noise,
Where I'll write no daily colyum
Aided by the carrier boys!
That's the place that l am strong for,
That's the place that is my goal;
And, O. boy! How do long for
That we'll loved old swimmin' hole!

trips each year, This is equivalent to
adding IS per cent of 2, 400 900 or 360, 900
cars to the available car supply
The average capacity of the freight

commodities, including coal, steel, ore,

modities Of various kinds occupy great
deal of space without adding proper
tionately to the tonnage carried by the
railroads. In loading commodities be-
longing to either of these classes you
should disregard the prescribed minimum
carload provisions for yo,n commodity
and, if possible, load your cars to their
MAXIMUM capacity.
'In 1919 the average load per loaded
car of all commodities on all the railroads
of the country as n whole was 27 g tons
only 67 per cent of capacity. The rail-
roads have now undertaken to attain an
average of 80 tons per car. II you will

per car, il would cost them 81 COS, ,00O, 900
and would cost the public at least 6 per
cent Of that amount in the form of in
creased freight rates.
"The average freight car spends its
time AS follows: 81 per cent of the time
in the hands of the shippers or the re-
cciver; 43 per cent moving from the point
of loading or unloading to the terminal
where it is put into train or onto n
transfer track: IL per cent in train
moving from one terminal to another,
and Q per cent laid up for repairs. You,
as shippers and receivers of freight, can
effect substantial reduction in the 81
per cent; and the railroads can effect an
equally substantial reduction in the 43
per cent.
'You can load and unload your cars
promptly if you will. As a rule the rail-
roads allow you As hours free time to
load your cars and As hours to unload
them before making any charge for de-
murrage. If you will use only one-half
of this time, thus releasing your cars in
one day instead of two, and in addition
will order accord to your loading capacity,

Girls-if you want plenty of thick
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you don't
Ii doesn't do much good to try to brush
or wash it out. The only sure way to get
rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you viii need, no matter how
much dandrlf you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

NATIONAL MOVE TO
HELP THE RAILROADS
Chamber Of Commerce Urges Bet
ter Loading and More Rapid
Unloading Of Cars.

An urgent appeal to the manufacturers
and business men of Wilmington to join
in a national movement to make better
use of existing railroad equipment rs a
means of providing improved transporta-
ton service was made by the railroad
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States today through the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce.
The national chambers committee
points out that the equivalent of more
than half million cars can be added to the
car supply by closer cooperation on the
part OF all interests concerned with trans
portatlon.
Freight traffic has increased so rapid
IN In the United States during the past
few years that it has completely out
grown the carrying capacity of the rail-
roads" saws the committee. GAS result,
il is now necessary for the roads to de-
wise a practical plan for increasing their
transportation service. This can only be
done by making extensive additions Of
new facilities and equipment, including
freight cars, locomotives, yard and track
terminals or by making greater use of ex-
isting facilities and equipment.
The railroads cannot carry out the
plan first suggested because under present
conditions they are unable to obtain a
sufficient amount of new capital; nor
would it be possible for them to provide
new facilities in time to relieve the present
emergency even if the capital were avail
able They must, therefore, rely on
making maximum use of existing facili-
ties and equipment, with the cooperation
OF all of the other interests commemorative
shippers of freight, receivers OF freight
and railroad employees.
You, as shippers and receivers of
freight can take q very important part
in this movement. You can add 535, 900
freight cars to the available car supply by
loading your cars more heavily and load
ing and unloading them promptly. If the
railroads were obliged to buy 535, 900 new
