titled water, and mop the solution
On the skin once each alternate day
for three or four times, allowing it
to dry before dressing. 2. l don't

the control of bed-wetting, which is
too long to print here. 4. Water
in the cellar has no effect on the

Wet or dampness is sometimes dis
agreeable, but never causes sick
ness.
Embargo on Symptoms.
You once published list of
symptoms by which tuberculosis of
the lungs might be detected. Please
forward the same to me.-(M F.)
Answer do not publish symp-
toms. They are too misleading.
tuberculosis of the lungs may be
detected by examination by the
physician. 1 earnestly advise you
not to enter upon a study of symp-
toms, for it can do you nothing but
harm. Leave that for your doctor
and don't procrastinate about
seeing the doctor The time to con-
suit the physician, for the happiest
results, is the moment you feel any
doubt about your state of health.
Half Hose.
Is a child wearing half hose in
the winter time liable to rheuma-
tism or other diseases because of
this exposure? Would long stock
ings be better? The child does not
complain that her knees are cold
and her mother says the childs
feet keep warm this winter, though
they never did other winters when
she wore long stockings.-(S. A.
W.
Answer-Such dress, if the child
feels comfortable so dressed, rather
tends to make her less susceptible
to disease. You may always rely
on this principle: The less one
wears at any time and under any
circumstances. with due regard for
personal comfort, the healthier one
will remain.

PLEASING CONCERT
BY HILGAR SISTERS

day night in the ST Andrews audi
torium by the Hilger sisters. Elsa,
Maria and Greta. Each artist was out
standing in her musical ability. A
large audience that nearly filed the

selections. She was forced to give
several encores.
Excellent cello numbers by Elsa
were appreciated by the audience. Her
ease of manner and ability won her
much praise
The three artists gave solos and
group numbers, making up a varied
program.
The accompaniment of Greta was es-
pecially pleasing
The sisters were accompanied by
their mother. They are stopping over
