HEALTH TALKS
By William Brady. M. D
Noted Physician and Author.

something should be done to call
the Eighty ones back to their
senses. For a time it looked bad
for the browning glory. but the
bobbed hair craze has about burnt
itself out now and. we'll, l don't
know whether it is hoped by any
body else, but 1 do hope this sud
den prediction for attenuation
will stop while there is still some
thing left for a woman to hang her
clothes on.
Questions and Answers.
No Cause to Worry was con-
fined three weeks ago. All was well
until now, when 1 find I have quite
lost my appetite. Please advise.
MRS. B. E.
Answer-Just take care of your
general health and hygiene and the
appetite will come home by and by.
Take no home brew if you mean to
nurse the baby.
Apartments Used BY Tuberculous
i rented two rooms to man and
his wife. The man was sick, but
not till they had been in the rooms
two weeks did / learn that the
sickness was tuberculosis of the
bones. They never aired their
rooms. We spent one or two eve
nings with them. They seemed so
lonesome Is there danger for us?
Will it endanger any one else to
occupy these rooms later?
MRS. S. NJ. H.
Answer-No danger. AS for flu
ture occupancy of the rooms. rest
assured that no matter what form
of tuberculosis the former tenant
may have had. an ordinary clean
ing OF the rooms with soap and wa
ter and renovation with paper or
paint if that appears necessary
only, will make them perfectly safe.
Air at Night VS. Night Air-Won't
you please write an article soon on
the importance of fresh air in the
bedroom at night, sick or well?
You'd be surprised at the vast num-
Der of people hereabouts who think
fresh air is unnecessary at night
when winter comes My daughters
baby has whooping coughs no
fresh air necessary at night in such
case? NJ. ID. A.
! Answer-Fresh air is cool or
cold air that moves. Foul air is
warmish air that scarcely dares to
move. Light warm coverings. and
warm nighties or pajamas. but cool
or cold air to breathe, will insure
more restful and wholesome sleep
at any time of year when cool air
is to be had. In whooping cough a
constant supply of fresh air is OF
vital importance as an aid to re-
covery. The only night air that
ever injured anybody's health was
! stagnant, close, foul, locked in air.

- Commander Evangelne Booth claims that
the Salvation Army workers make constant
war against radicalism in their street preach
ing by insisting loyalty to the constituted
government, thus reaching the kind of people
whom the destructive agitators most easily
influence to lawbreaking. The Salvation Army
has done a great and lasting work for the
betterment OF mankind the world over, and it
is meet that it should preach loyalty to a gov
eminent that recognizes no sect in religion.

General Crop Conditions.

Denver.-The condition of late crops
in the Rocky mountain region shows
cintinued improvement in most sections
according to reports of the U. 5. Divi-
sion of Crops and Live Stock Esu-
mates. Threshing of small grains
made good progress in the northern
section but yields are generally re-
ported as slightly less than expected.
Rain is needed to facilitate fall plow-
ing in wyoming. Some seeding OF win
ter wheat has commenced In Colorado.
The production OF fruit and truck
crops is generally good. The apple
crop is below average in New Mexico,
due to drought; picking is just COM
mencing in Colorado. Pasture condi-
tions are good in most sections but
rain came too late to insure sufficient
feed in New Mexico and the movement
of cattle out of the state continues.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root il
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmers Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
OF two sizes, medium and large.
However. if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this observation-disclosures.

What is needed in France to save her babies, and
what 1t slowly Is getting is an educated public
opinion. initiative and lasting leadership. The
world probably never saw work like unto that
which is being done today In this devastated land.
1t Is true that work of the same kind Is being
attempted In other lands which war has hit. and
perhaps they are doing we'll elsewhere as they
are doing here. don't know. but here the work
Is before ones eyes. Its scope and Its significance
stand In clear relief.
Much Is done here for children outside Of the
immediate field OF that like to Gull "ife saving"
There are kindergartens, there Is manual training
instruction, and there are amusements There is
directing Of the feet of childhood into the paths
Of right moral and sanitary life. One looks sees
It, and feels that this is working committee which
makes American part of Its name Of action.
At this writing there In France about 100
visiting American working girls. They have come
here as guests of the American committee To
see what is being done. They will carry back n
picture of a new life coming amid scenes of desc.
lation that only four years ago were scenes of
death.
Something has been said of the library work NJ
the American committee 1t has established cir
culating libraries In the villages from which the
work is conducted as centers. French peasants In
these regions who had few or no books today have
books to their liking at their command and their
commands frequent. like the story told by

Interested that without being she stopped the

only to know that 1t was not getting late and 30
lie kept till the end of the story. Then she
told him. and he said 'tant meux, did not want
to go to bed before finishing that good story"
There will be libraries In the various centers
In the districts in which the American committee
has been working. The committee has given
money In considerable sums to certain of the
towns TO be used to complete the present library
equipment. Young French women are being trained
In the United States is librarians 1t ought to be
truism that reading under virtually all conditions
should be directed In France provision is being
made for such proper direction.
Mothers Of France In the stricken districts today
have their meeting places and their clubs the old
and the young together getting the things Of
which they knew SO little before and Of which,
today, they beginning to realize the social and
physical benefits.
Association In agricultural endeavor is the order
of things today in the farming districts where

had once waged for four years. The French
farmer Is parting with some Of his selfshness of
the past which, while unconscious. was neverthe-
less selfshness. The interest Of the community
today is paramount, while individual effort is not
allowed one instant to sag. This Is committee
work. but the French give strong support.
Someone once said that when you cannot tell
anything about the standing of man or woman
In life from the general appearance to look at bis
or her hands, for they will tell the tale.
wonder how many people looking at the hands
Of some of the American English and French girls
working in the devastated regions could learn any
thing truthful about their social position or their
educational equipment Many Of these girls are
driving trucks and moreover they are their own
mechanics. They do the work like men graduated
from public garage and their hands are sight
and they cannot help it. They are girls from
virtually all the best educational institutions in the
United States. They work not only with heart
for 1t. but with both hands for It,
1t may be that the American committee will stop
this work in France next spring except for gen.
eral supervision from America by what one might
call the alumnae Of the organization. Members Of
the committee will to It that the work has not
been in vain
have said am framing this inadequate picture
while looking over the war-stricken fields. It is
easy enough to understand. humanity speaking, why
France is insstent getting Its reparaton money.
1t is human. Everything is gone and must be
replaced and there is no money in France to re.
place it. Just beyond the fields In front of me Is
the "Red zone" through which runs the Chemln
des Danes. Is not memory keen Of the days Of
the killings. yes and the saughterings, on the
slopes Of this great highway? No one treads the
red zone today save the road which runs
through 1t. Unexploded shells and hand grenades
are hidden among the pOppies. corn flowers and
daisies which have struggled up through the
masses of matted barbed wire. This red zone Is
an object lesson but just why 1t is needed as such
,holo nfrva do
a picture sufficiently striking and sufficiently argu
ment compelling. one cannot exactly understand.
In America many people ask how much restora.
tlon there has been in France. The fields largely
have been reclaimed and the peasants today are
reaping their oats, barley and their wheat. The
villages for the most part are still In the dust.
Frenchmen will tell you that reparation money Is
necessary II their country Is to be made alive.
Looking on these scenes pregnant with horrors not
yet all passed, can understand the French
viewpoint and know that 1t would be that of any
other country which had been as France always
has been-the battlefield Of the world.
