Wedding Out Students.

A new note was recently sounded when
President Goodnow of Johns Hopkins univers-
ity said that what that school needed was bet
ter students and not merely more students
At the time this statement met with some
criticism, but when it was understood it was
approved. A northern college announces the
dropping of a number of students because of
poor marks. They will make way for others
who have better appreciation of their oppor-
tunities Doubtless there will be considerable
wedding out from now on. Possibly the Hop
kns needs less of it than other institutions,
but the frank preaching of its ideas of quality
is certain to have profound influence.
This is very good time for the college to
take action Only few years ago the average
college drumming for students. Now most
OF them have more applicants than they
accommodate. They are in a position to pick
and choose. By judicious selection and elm
nation they kill two birds with the same
stone; they accommodate more worth while
students and they relieve the student body of
dead wood that impedes progress Putting
costly education on an unappreciative boy may
not be the worst waste of money but it be-
comes problem when the boy is allowed to
stand in the way OF his betters.

DR.. Finleys defense for his extraordinary pro-

need OF education, abroad as well as at home.

more education in America and appears TO

children cannot hope for even elementary edu-
cation before 1925.
Il the teachers OF Polish children would go
to work. instead OF riding around on armored
horses, swearing and staying like true knights
OF old, they could send their children to scnool
and pay their debts too. II charity begins at
home, SO does concern for public education in
the case of the United States. Every time we
have a new survey we are alarmed at our own
iliteracy. We have millions OF adults who
cannot read or write in any language. We
could use that $4,000. 100000 very nicely on
the education OF our own children.

Attorney General Daugherty is asking for

there are $4,000 more cases Of law violation

makers have exceeded the bounds of consti-

The Tragedy of Worry.

In the United States the number of human
beings-men, women and children-who took
their lives in the first six months of the present
year was 7,016. The number Of children was
S07. There has been much speculative discus
sion OF the causes OF the increase in the sui
eide rate The Save-a-Life league, a national
organization, believes that unemployment ac-
counts for the greater part of the increase and
that after-war dependency and maladjustment
is the next major factor
Some physicians are inclined to think that
prohibition. by depFiying addicts or habitual
consumers of strong drink regarded by them
as their chief solace, has led many to commit
suicide All authorities aree that financial
worry due TO business dislocation and the in
evitable losses occasioned by the drastic pro-
cess OF defation and liquidation accounts for
many cases of self-destruction. To Children Of

It aids drainage when the boil
breaks or is about to break. A
fresh compress should be applied
as often as the dressing becomes
soifed, and the compress should be
moistened with a few spoonfuls OF
the solution often enough, day and
night, to keep it wet Over the wet
compress some oiled silk or waxed
paper may be applied and the whole
held in place either with a snug

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

test made to see what kind of serum
l need for hay fever. 1t begins

The Gold Stain.
Question: have been told that
the human body contains a number
of acids. 1 have been wearing a
necklace made of lax gold, the kind
they call green gold, and at times
this colors my neck as though a
brass ring had rubbed the skin. The
jeweler tells me it is the acid in my
system which causes this. 1t was
an expensive necklace and has with
stood the acid test. l wear a ring
of white gold" but it never
stains my finger. (R. l. Al
Answer-Such stains from gold
jewelry are due to the base metal
fixed with the gold-copper, silver,
etc.-which reacts with sulphur in
the perspiration or oily secretion
of the skin to form sulphid. So
called ''oxidized silver" for in
stance, is a sulphid of silver. Four
teen karat is not very pure gold,
though your necklace may be a
valua BILE piece of jewelry. The
acids in the body have nothing to
do with the staining of the skin by
the base metal in an alloy; nor has
this staining any significance re-
garding the state of health.

Why RoiIs Repeat.


Seeing how carelessly folks do

again or that the minor wounds
heal so poorly or terminate SO fire.
quently in serious blood poison
ing" wonder, instead, that so
many victims Of boils or wounds do
| manage to escape these unhappy
| complications.
Since boils are little assesses,
and assesses are directly caused
by certain types of bacteria which
have the faculty of inducing the
formation of pus, it should be clear
that the implantation OF the germs
is the important thing in the cul-
ture OF bo1is- Germs cannot travel
by their own effort. They must be
conveyed to the spot where they do
I their work. There is no better con-
veyer Of germs than the Sinquisite
| fingers of the victim himself. 1t is
by the victims own fingers that the
germs from boil number one are
usually conveyed to a fresh field
and planted there to produce boil
number two, and so on. Sometimes
the germs are carried from boil
number one by the victims cloth
ing, such as the friction of a collar
band. Sometimes the germs are
carried to fields afresh by the ideal
culture medium which is popularity
esteemed yet never advisable as an
application to boil, the poultice.
If boil number one were never
handled nor subjected to the fric.
ton OF clothing or uBskillfully ap-
piled dressings, nor encouraged by
fiaxseed poultices and uncleanly
salves, boil number two would not
develop. The ideal way to handle
boil would be not to handle it at
all, but only expose the region in
volved to the direct sunlight. In
polite society this is not always
feasible. A dressing of some kind
should then be applied to protect
the boil from the friction of cloth
ing or from contact with other
things.
For comfort and effectiveness per-
