QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Tobacco and Neunhrifis.

Tobacco and Neuphritis.
Is it possible that smoking cigars
may cause kidney trouble? Are
plants in a room injurious to ones
health? In my room there is a
large Boston fern and a windowful
Of other plants. w. +. r.
Answer-The excessive use of
tobacco is a factor in the causation
of cardiovascular degeneration, OF
which chronic nephritis (Bright's
disease) is a frequent manifesto
ton. But the term kidney trou-
BILE" as popularity employed is gen
orally inaccurate-there is no dis
ease or trouble of the kidneys in
such cases. The plants in the room
are rather beneficial to your health.
Visiting in Sickness.
A friend of mine has typhoid fe-
yer, a light attack. Would I run a
risk in going TO call on her? My
parents think I should not go.
Would you allow me to go If you
were my father? There is quite an
epidemic in our town. A. F. J.
Answer-If typhoid prevailed ep-
technically in the community think
I should have you protected by i'm
munization, and then you might
visit the patient without risk. But
doesn't your health department
prohibit visiting when persons are
isolated or ill of an infectious dis
ease? Such a regulation should be
enforced in typhoid fever.
Self Support
About four months ago was op-
Grated on for acute appendicitis. 1
have never worn any support or
even a corset. Is there any danger
in going without such support?
MARY.
Answer-No. Unless your doc
tor particularly prescribes such a.
support you are wise not to adopt
one. 1t is better to keep your own
muscles doing their proper work.
Henna and the Eyes.
Kindly state whether using hen
ma powder in the hair is Injurious
to the eyes or the eyesight. I have
been using it for two years, and
during that time my sight has fail
ed considerably. A. B.
Answer-So far as / can learn,
the use of henna as a hair dye
does not affect eyesight or the eyes.
But l have received great many
inquiries similar to yours. Posi-
bly, henna powder irritates the eyes
mechanically, just as rice powder
often does.

~ The four-power Pacific treaty, ratified yes
terday by the senate, may not be an infallible
guaranty against war, but it will at least serve
as a check and a guide for the nations sigma
tory thereto. America simply is Offering an OPP
portunity to some of its foreign neighbors to be
peaceable and decent II they elect to be other
wise they will be the sufferers. America isn't
in the habit Of starting wars, but has peculiar
knack of bringing them to quick finish
and at the expense of the other fellow.

Yes, you are looking pretty well,
Ruth; but you take care; bloom
lasts but day, and you're the type
that fades early. It'll take more
than dancing around to please your
husband when you get as yellow as
l be. 1t seems mighty unreason-
able to put pleasure before profit

coming here to get the news; l was
young myself once, and 1 want to

you! l would enjoy a nice piece
of that fresh meat. You are very
good, Ruth. Well, them that has,

my words; save now while you're
young. That's why l come here so
often, Ruth; someone has to tell
you Tightly folks these hard truths.

but l thought I'd stop on my way
to the doctors. Seems as if l had
to go more and more often these
days. He told me a lot of high
falutin' things about diet, but l
told him 1 hadn't had any meat
for weeks. and if salt pork and
doughnuts caused blood pressure,
he'd have to show me, that's all.
What? Yes, he tried to, but 1
couldn't see anything to it.
Seen Ruth lately? No, don't
go there very much now. 1t got
so that every time 1 dropped in
she was frying doughnuts or bak-
ing bread, and she hadn't been
anywhere to hear anything. If Jim
was home, he was in the cellar
sitting ashes through one of those
no account rotary sifters; l could
hear 1t agoing. Why, time was
when those young people were
regular inspiration to me, any time
l stopped. Ruth would be just IS
CHEEKY and setting things on the
table with a lot of funny stories as
to how they come to buy this or
that. And newsi No end of it.

Is that their window you see from
