QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Wants an Endemic.

l have a question which would
like to see answered in your COLI
umn as soon as, possible. What are
the symptoms OF chronic appendi-
citis and is an operation really nee
sary to relieve it?-A. M. W.
Answer-It is contrary 70 my
best judgment to publish symp-
toms If my doctor told me he
thought /, had chronic appendicitis
I should want to have the appendix
removed promptly.
Heavy Growth Of Hair.
MY hair grows almost to my
knees and is very. heavy. Some
say have it clipped or bobbed. be-
cause i am so thin. I am ~ years
old, &C inches tall and weigh only
100 pounds. Is it true that'a heavy
growth of hair takes ones
strength v. L.
Answer.-Not more so than long
finger-nails do. That is mere
superstition. Sometimes disturb
ance of the ductless gland func-
tons, such as hyperthyroidism or
exophthalmic goitre, causes very
luxurious growth of hair and un-
der weight.
Weed Pulling for Stout Folks.
Isn't pulling weeds, both large
and small, as good for women do
ing homework as those long walks
! YOU advocate? Is STOPPING Tor
such work good or bad for short
stout woman? For tall, slim
woman?-L. H.
Answer.-It is fine for a WON
ans health regardless Of her d.
mensions. But the great draw

weeds to pull every day the year
around, and there is always plenty
of oxygen floating about. waiting
to be absorbed on the hoof.

The vice vultures are still seeking to silence
The Argus with their scares. The answer Of
the Argus to the vice vultures is that they are
Idoomed to lose their grip on the city and county
governments. When that hold is broken the
reign Of the vice vulturss will end. That will
be 4 happy day for Rock Island.

The Daily Short Story

with the care of the household, the
oversight of the vegetable garden.
and the ducks and hens, Bula had
little time in which to grieve in
| loneliness. In the short days of
winter, she was occupied with the
| family sewing. The following April
the great war came Early in the
year following the armistice, Bula's
father died.
What will you do now" Annie
asked, gazing curiously at the mis-
tress of the big Meadowbrook farm.
Il will reserve enough for a veg
e.able and flower garden, and dis
pose of the rest Of the land"
Indeed a wild fancy obsessed
Bula's mind-a desire to possess
| the flowers she had been so sternly
denied.
will you stay with me, Annie,
and tend store? We can have a
flower shop out on the boulevard.
Annie expressed bookful of
ideas; she waxed eloquent.
There was no irresolution in
Bula. With the assistance Of q
carpenter and a gardener the flow

HARDING'S PLAIN DUTY.

At the close Of business on Wednes
day the term of Governor Harding as
head of the Federal Reserve Board
expired. No announcement has been
made regarding his successor. The
White House maintains complete 81
lence upon the matter. A Senator IS
quoted as saying that the names OF
three bankers have been laid before
the President and that he is consider
ing them. Senator Helm continues
his war upon Governor Hardng's re-
appointment. His latest move Is to
inform his fellow Senators that he will
state on the floor OF the Senate that
Governor Harding is personally Of
fensiye" to him. For Senator to state
that somebody Is personally offensive
to him is just like a Government In
forming another Government that a
proposed Ambassador Is persona non
grata. 1t 10 like Austria vetoing the
choice OF a certain Cardinal as Pope
This awesome power Senator Helm
threatens to invoke against Governor
Harding. On tho other side OF the
