QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Can Glasses be Left 0ff3
I am a woman aged so years and
nearsighted. Besides I have some
astigmatfsm, the doctor said. Can
astigmatism be helped in any way
except with glasses? Are there
any eye gymnastics or exercises
or mechanical helps which would
enable d nearsighted person To
gradually get along without
glasSeSo Z. }. q
Answer-No- And often it is
injurious TO the eyes of one who is
nearsighted to try to use the eyes
without glasses. Glasses conserve
eyesigbt and do not weaken it.
What to Underwear in the Winter
What is the ideal or most hygenic
thing to underwear in the winter
V. NJ. G.
Answer Wooden underwear OF
a knitted texture. No particular
brand. Light weight, for persons
most of the time indoors. With
WOODEN stockings of similar weight
and texture If the modern COM

underwear is not endurable for
your skin. the next choice is silk
Various makers have on the mark
ct a good grade of wooden under
wear with a silken facing next the
skin, which is comfortable. Union
suits more hygienic than separate
pieces. One may change from
wooden underwear to any light cot
ton or no underwear on occasions
in the winter if desired, so far as
health is concerned. l do not sug-
gest wool because it is warmer,
which it isn't, or because it makes
you less likely to catch any disease,
for it doesn't. | advise wool be-
cause it most nearly approaches
hair as a body covering, and be-
cause experience has shown that
it gives one more all around COM
fort than any other material. And
personal comfort is the only con-
sideTation one need have, l think,
in choosing underwear.

Everyday Adventures

That Changes Everything
When you've just moved into a
new apartment that's couple OF
sizes larger than the one you've
been living in for the last few years
and when you have your furniture
all arranged and set out
You find that there isn't nearly
as much of it as you thought there
would be-even when you spread
things around as squarely as posi-
bic because you're a couple of
chairs, a table and some rugs shy
of being able to make it look like a
regular furnished apartment
And you're just plain stumped on
knowing what to do, because if you
buy the chairs, you can't afford the
rugs and table, and if you get the
rugs, it's the other way around
and then you take look through
the Palladium's merchandise col
umns in the classified section
And that Changes Everything!
Because there you find a number
of ads about upholstered living
room chairs and a rug, and some
other pieces of furniture you can
get at less than half the original
cost and that just fit into the inter
ior decoration scheme of your
apartment!

Whitehouse Flag Rarely
Seen at Hahn last

Only on rare occasions does the
President direct that the flag on the
White House staff be lowered to half
mast. 1t has been done in the case
of the death of former Presidents, or
of some foreign potentate or ruler of
a foreign land. 1t was flown at half
mast when President Wilson's first
wife died in the Executive Mansion,
and remained so until her body was
taken to Georgia for burial When
former President Roosevelt died the
flag on top of the White House re-
manned at half-mast 80 days.
But this particular flag, when raised
over the Executive Mansion, denotes
that the President is in Washington.
1t is never flown when the President
Is away from the National Capital.

1t was Bad Liquor, They Say

Tom HadIey was landed in Jail
here last Friday afternoon, un-
der a charge of assault and bat
terry with intent to kill as q result
of a fight which is said to have
occurred at a still about one mile
from his home. 1t seems that
several parties had congrgated
at this particular place for the
purpose of making up the COM
munity mash and making a sup
ply Of white mule. After
some running had been done and
some of those present became
.'tanked up, Oscar Hadley, who
had but recently been released
from the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta, and Tom Hadley got in
to a difficulty and had quite a
carving party,
Tom Hadley had killed one oil
Oscars sons several years before
and it is said that no particular
love existed between the two
men, However, the row is said
to have started about altogether
another matter. Hard words
passed and fight resulted
wherein knives were used very
freely until Josh Hadley inter-
fered. 1t is said that ne struck
Tom, his son. and knocked him
loose from his brother Oscar.
Tom then went to The house for
his gun and was followed by his
father. There another difficulty
came up and Tom shot and seri-
ously wounded his father.
Two Wheeler negroes, who
were present at the still, have
been bound over to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury, under a
charge of making whiskey. Other
charges Of a similar nature will
be made against other parties
r ~
who were present at the time.
Oscar Hadley was very seri,
ously cut, and we understand
that more than a hundred stit-
ches were necessary to repair his
carved anatomy. Tom received
only one cut, and that in the
fIeshy part of the hand. Last
accounts from the wounded In
dicate that all will recover.
One Of the regretable parts OF
this happening was that the still
succeeded in making its escape.
Just how this came about we are
not informed, but it is said that
it was not brought in. This
means that someone intends to
use it again. Let US hope that it
will be speedily caught.
