QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
RawiIdariDp Paths

DeWlueElng Iat1s.
An allopath advised me to have
my legs operated on for varicose
veins. But a homeopath advised
ME not TO, because the inner veins
have to take up the burden of the
| circulation when the surface veins
are operated on. An osteopath
claims he can cure me in from &C
to 80 days. l hardly know what to
| do. What would you advise?
MRS. S. R
Answer should advise you tc
keep away from all paths, and con-
suit your physician and do as he
! thinks best. When a doctor wears
the badge of any patty he is pref
| ty~ certain to be a narrow, badly
educated, small minded person
scarcely competent to advise you
in a matter that so greatly con-
Germs your efficiency and well be-
! ing. Truth in healing is not re-
stricted or controlled by any "sys-
TEN" school," clique or club. In
certain cases of varicose veins in
the legs operation is the most sat
isfactory treatment; in other cases
it is not advisable. 1t depends, of
bcourse, on the individual condi-
tions.
12 Per Cent OF for Thinking.
Last September wrote you about
how stout 1 was growing. Your
wonderful advice appealed to me
and 1 followed out your sugges-
tions, with the result that l reduc-
ed from 16S to 14S pounds l am
"a years old and 81 inches. tall.
How much should I weigh? I find
that with less food and more exer-
else l feel much better and my
friends all say. look fine now. 1t
seems as though l can weigh Just
what I wish by using the knowl-
edge you have given me, and 1 GER
tainly feel grateful to you for it
MRS. S. R,
Answer-You should weigh 1876
pounds stripped. Practically all
adults over 30 and overweight feel
and look much better if they eat
less and exercise more. And
doesn't it seem a shame, too, that
they live longer to enjoy their bet
ter health than do their brothers
and sisters who eat all they can
eat and shirk all they can shirk in
the way OF muscular ACTIVITY yes,
it's a long life if you don't fatten.
Neither Does the Veterinarian
Patient.
I do not believe in medicine. But
I value your opinion and health
suggestions otherwise. E. o. F.
Answer-Don't let that worry
you. A mule doesn't believe in
medicine, yet the veterinary physi-
clan often cures him. | myself
don't believe in medicine as it is
used by the average layman. In
fact, I am sure it does a great deal
of harm. But 1 am very glad to
have a doctor give me medicine
when I need it. I'd be unreason-
able. illogical and foolish to seek
a doctors opinion or advice if
didn't believe in his medicine.

Twenty-nine bushels of corn.
Seven and onc-half bushels Of
wheat.
Zen bushels of oats.

ley.
Four bushels of potatoes.
One ton of hay.
~ Eleven pounds of tobacco,
One hundred sixty-five pounds
beef and pork
Twenty-four pounds of sugar.
Eight pounds of peanuts.
One bushel of apples.
On top of all this, the farmer gave
you cotton, wool, fruits, vegetables,
meats and host of other things
A lot of this stuff was exported
But, in return for it, we got an
equivalent in other commodities.
With these enormous supplies
pouring into our larder from the
farms, it is hard to understand how
there can ever be hunger in America.
Our real trouble is in our system
of distribution.
And, surely, we should never have
any difficulty in keeping warm. For
our mines produce about five tons of
coal year for every American.
To help the coal keep US warm, the
farmers produce 40 pounds of cotton
and three pounds of wool year for
each Of us.
Our oil industry yearly produces
l-2 barrels of Gil aud AZ gallons Of
gasoline for every American.
Enough iron was produced last
year, despite depression, to give each
ri US 81 pounds,
You look these figures over, and
you think, my. how rich our eoun-
try is, and what an awful LOT of stuff
it takes to keep our civilization GO

1t becomes even more of a marvel
when you consider that complete
list of our production of raw mate
rials would be SO long that it couldn't
be printed in small type on whole
page of the Times Recorder.
We produce enough in this coun-
uy,t to make every American pros.
porous all the time-in actual com.

And, on the average, we are pros
porous most of the time.
We live in 'land of milk and
honey"
That we can ever suffer want, in
tie midst of such a profusion of ne.
cessities and Injuries, is. proof that
there is something Fundamentally
wrong with our system of economies
No one knows exactly what that
something is.
We have had business depression

able. progressive chief Of the Cherokee
nation. after prolonged debate, bill
was passed permitting the building or
a telephone Inc from Tahlequah, 20
miles, to the western boundary of the
Cherokee nation at Fort Gibsin, only
three miles from Muskogee.
In accordance with a condition inn
posed in the act of the legislature, men
were employed to locate the most diff
cult route over which it was possible
to build the line, not the easiest. so as
to guard against railroad following
the wires. 1t would seem there were
difficulties enough to be overcome with!
out seeking new. for to carry the line
on into Muskogee it was necessary TO
cross the Arkansas river. a span or
more than | 200 feet.
From the start the Cherokee tele-
phone was a general and financial sue
cess. The allotment of the tribal lands
was soon after undertaken and the out
side world became greatly interested in
the doings of the Cherokee legislature.
The telephone wire from Tahlequah to
the telegraph office at Muskogee be.l
came busy line indeed. The first ring
of tehe telephone call bell at Tahlequah
that announced the first message from
Fort Gibson to the assembled crowds
of astounded Indians standing round
was indeed the mark of an epoch in
the life of the Cherokee nation. Even
more than they dreamed, it rang out
the old, rang in the new"
