Action.

The Woman's Industrial Home and
Clinic located at Medical Lake will
be closed by April /, according to
the state board Of control. because
governor Hart vetoed the appropria-
ton of S121,000 made by the 1921

port 1t is believed that women sent
there on criminal charges will be
transferred to the woman's ward of
the state penitentiary at Walla Walla

turned to the counties from which
they were sentenced. Women at the

| which they were committed to the
Clinic. as6
WOmen's Clubs Protest Veto
Many organizations, including the
State Federation of Womans clubs
and the League of Women Voters
have strongly protested against the
veto.
The governor said in his veto
message concerning the Woman's
Industrial Home and Clinic, II can.
not conceive how an institution that
is maintained as the Industrial Home
and Clinic can be used for incarcerat-
ing women convicted of ordinary
crimes. am advised by the attor-
ney general that when the institu-
ton is filed to the capacity per-
ference should be given to the one
sentenced by the courts to serve time.
Therefore this becomes primarily a
penitentiary and defeats the work II
was supposed to do. If this were a
penitentiary it would necessitate
building wall around the premises
and employing guards, for which
there is no appropriation.

Bald.Headed Forest Land.

The ruins of the biggest fires In city are
replaced by new buildings in few months.
or, at longest, in q year or two. But it takes
from, 80 to $50 yesrs-to rebuild ruined forest.
Nearly all you residents Of Rock Island ex-
perience a primitive joy on those rare occa-
sions when you get out into the woods for a
picnic or a tramp Your wild bowers, your
songbirds and the wood you use in everything
from your home to pencils and home-brew
kegs-come from the forests. ,>
Forests are tremendous natural resource.
invaluable for recreation, for natural fertil-
ization Of the soil and for that practical func-
ton of supplying us with lumber. And for
ests are diminishing. America needs more
elaborate reforestation to replace timber taken
for necessary purposes. Also, we need, vitality,
more individual protection Of forests. In the
last five years forest fires have devastated an
area larger than the New England states. The
actual money loss was $S5000.000.
Eighty per cent Of the $4,000 forest fires
that occur every year in our country could
be prevented by care and vigilance on the part
of citizens, according to the department of agri-
cultures forestry service.
Boy Scouts have taken this lesson to heart.
One of their chief objects is preservation Of
the woods. An attempt is being made to arouse
the same interest among grownups. Forest
Protection week will be observed nationally,
beginning May %.
There are wonderful woods near Rock Is
land. You might show the kiddies good time
by taking them to Treeland for picnic and
tramp during Forest Protection week. Partic-
ularly impress upon them the necessity OF al
ways putting out any fire started in the woods.
Better still. not to build 4 fire at all. And il
you can't get to the woods, why not plant s
few more shade trees in the brick-and cement
deserts that make the glazing sun the most
noticeable feature Of many streets OF Rock
| Island!

Tho -H.N.F.R for Ear Ache.
For the benefit of IF. G. M" and
any others interested may l state
my experience? Last winter had
severe ear ache for three weeks
straight, and although I was skep-
tical I decided to try the hot mus
tard foot, bath which you recon-
mended about that time. Well. I
took" it-fell quietly asleep, slept
all night soundly for the first time
in three weeks. and awoke next
morning minus the ear ache. Fl.
G. NJ" can experiment with his hot
mustard ear bath for toe ache if
he likes. but I'm telling him the hot
mustard foot bath stopped my ear
ache pronto. M. M. A..
Answer-It may have. helped;
then, too, perhaps the coincidence
had something to do with it. I rec
commended a hot mustard foot bath
administered to the patient In bed
as a remedy for ordinary acute ear
ache. Yours may have been an or
binary ear ache congestion, in
fiammation or infection of the mid
die earl. but il 80 it certainly was
persistent.
