TROUBLE FOLLOWS WET FEET
Frequently unsupported Cause OF
Trouble to Which Many Are Ad-
dicted-keep Hair Dry.

There Is an indirect relationship
between the feet and the ear. There
are persons immune, we might say,
from ear complications, regardless OF
any consistent care of their feet, but
the majority of people will have
coryza or rhinitis, at least, If their
feet become wet or even dampened.
They will sniflle. their head becomes
stuffy and a slight cold with ringing
in the ears follows./ The more
anemic they are the greater the ten
dency toward a catarrhal condition.
The habit of wetting the hair each
morning in order to make 1t lie down
properly is followed sooner or later
by, naso-pharyngeal catarrhal con-
dition, declares an authority in the
Journal of the American Osteopathic
Association. The hair should always
be thoroughly dried, especially around
the ears, and the vaso-motors toned
up by a vigorous manipulation over
the temples and around the neck, es-
pecially below the ears. The lynn
phatic glands along the sides of the
neck, just below the ears. have
tendency to congest and indurate II
any congestion Of the nose and throat

Berlin Under Indictment.

Berlin has been known for many
years as the most corrupt city IN
Europe, but few, German newspapers
have spoken so frankly about 1t as the
Cologne Volkszeitung. Here Is Its
latest Indictment. "We should rejoice
to see a fire descend from heaven and
reduce to cinders the horrible Babel
of Berlin. To hell with the Berliners,
people without soul and without heart,
implacable foes of all Kultur. In the
great record book of humanity mon
strous debt of blood Is inscribed
against Berlin. He who has not yet
made himself acquainted with the re-
voting sentiments which have pre-
vailed in the Prussian capital for CEN
turies is wilfully blind. Berlin Is an
immense moral cesspool. We refuse to
be any longer under it's sway"

Plan to lrriuate Egypt.

For many years projects have been
under consideration for obtaining such
complete control of th> waters OF
the upper Nile as will enable Egypt
to develop its agricultural resources
to the utmost and to secure the coun-
try against the dangers of excessive
foods. while permitting the Sudan
also to develop to some extent its own
vast resources. @
The works contemplated will extend
over q generation and involve the ex-
penditure of tens of millions of dol
lars, affecting the entire future OF lrrl-
CATION throughout the Nile basin.
The commission, it Is reported.
will consist of three members: An
irrigation engineer nominated by the
government of India as president and
British PHYSICIST nominated by the
University of Cambridge, while to
draw on the wide experience available
in America on questions of irrigation
and water supply, and still further
to strengthen the independence OF the
commission, an irrigation engineer
nominated by the government OF the
United States will constitute the third
member.

London's Slow Library Methods.

Before war started Germany was
planning library large enough to
hold 100000 books. Although this
would have been the largest library in
the world, it is by no means certain
that it would have been the most use
full. Students and business men, too,
find the New York public library much
more generally helpful than the Brit
ish museum library, though the latter
possesses three times as many books.
Comparatively few Londoners, says
contemporary, can spare the time to
visit Bloomsbury and sit vacantly for
an hour under the great dome of the
reading room while the books required
are being sought.

RED men FLOURISH
Idea That Indians Are Dying Out
Is Erroneous.
Probably the Race Is Scarcely Less
Numerous Today Than When Co.
Iumbus Landed on the
--r Shores of America.

Despite popular belief that the CIV

man means his ultimate extinction, the
North American Indian, reviving from
long period Of decadence, has shown
strth substantial increase in popula-

Is scarcely less numerous today than
when Columbus discovered America.
Startling as this assertion may be
to those who have pictured American
forests in the discOverer's time as
swarming with red men, it is freely
advanced by experts of the govern
mtnt's Indian bureau, who maintain
that the Indian necessarily formed
ar exceedingly scant population when ~

ported by the bureau for last year.
"The Indian no longer is to be-
thought of as a dying race" declared
DR.. Lawrence w. White, an Indian au-
thority Of the bureau. ''In support OF
that statement it is necessary, In the
first place, to disabuse the puOllc
mind of the tradition handed down
by discoverers and early colonists that
American forests in their day swarmed
with the dusky figures of the red man.
AS the Indian neglected agriculture
almost completely, it is highly i'm

more than several hundred thousand

"On the other hand" Doctor White
continued, "the Indian in the present
day, after periods of sharp decrease
following as 4 natural reaction to sud-
den contact with the civilization OF
the white man. is seen to be making
substantial gains in population.
"Whie many estimates or guesses

Whie, "rangng from less than 1OO,-
