YEAST.
 The excitment about yeast as 8 cure-al1 for digestive and complexion
 troubles has rather died down this
 last year. The latest fad is to take quantities of iron into the system in
 the pleasant and easily digested form of raisins. But I may be out of date about that for I confess I do not fol- low these fads too seriously. Some thing else may have succeeded the craze. for daily vitamines and iron Frankly, l wish that instead of the slogans Have you had your iron to- day?" or Have you had your yeast cakes ?" which once met my eyes at every turning someone would adver- tise: Have you had your six glasses of water today?" But I cannot think who might do that unless possibly it would be the water companies who certainly wouldn't profit much from such advertising.
 Most fads have their virtues, at least in theory. The yeast fad was one of
 the most sensible. Most of our best
 doctors recommended it. For obsti-
 nate cases of pimples and constipa- [ tion yeast is excellent. Generally speaking, I know of no better blood purifier. Yeast also supplies in rich quantities that important food leIe- ment called Vitamines without which one cannot live. But such tiny quan- titles of v1tamines are necessary that l would not recommend yeast solely 1 for this reason. In my mind it's use
 is as a laxative and blood purifier would suggest three yeast cakes a day for those who wish to clear the | face of pinples. These should be

 The G. O. P. elephants of Fairfield county 'hollered" themselves hoarse yesterday afternoon in Norwalk, where eleven campaign songs were tried.

My dear Followers:
 When sending for material which we offer you, please remember a1- ways to enclose a stamped envelope bearing your full name and address. The pamphlet on reducing and gain ing is the only one for which you must enclose four cents in stamps extra. Address your letters to me in care of this paper and please remem- Der that, on account of the hundreds of letters received in every mail, I cannot make personal replies. I ap- preciate very much the beautiful per sonal letters you send me and regret it is impossible to give you individual advice. The questions you ask will be answered in the column as soon as possible, if they are of general in terest; for the rest you must consult your personal physicians.

 Our T. T. ITS are stra ggling in. Not anywhere near at the rate of the F. F. F.'S, but that is not to be expected because there are not near ly many of them. I wish those of you who are trying to gain and are getting results would give us a little more detail of just what you are do- ing, whether you are gradually mak- ing your meals larger or taking food between meals or adding extra milk and eggs, etc.
 Mrs. F. J.-You must remember that babies and children are in real ity only little animals and they have mt any idea, of the significance of certain actions What you say of your baby is nothing to worry about. The habit undoubtedly was contracted in | the first place from the irrita ton, | but now that the irritation no longer exists the habit that has been formed persists. If you will smartly slap her 1 hands every time they offend and say, "No. no, baby" she will soon as- sociate the pain and the habit, and will discontinue it undoubtedly. Dc not do this in anger, you understand At 13 months of age she needs

LAND WITHOUT STRIKES.

1t is said that when the doctor from
civilization landed upon barbarous shores,
bringing the blessings of its cures and
remedies to the unenlightened tribes, he
first had to introduce the diseases that
the cures might be effected.
One cannot call Siam exactly barbar-
Gus or uncivilized, but the Siamese gov
eminent is afraid that the same situation
threatens in regard to labor. The Inter
national Labor Office of the League of
Nations at Geneva has requested a num-
Der Of nations to join in legislation pro-
tecting laboring people, and Siam is in
cluded in the list. The ministry of justice,
however, had declined, on the ground
that there is no labor dissatisfaction in
Siam.
1t must excite a great deal of surprise
that there is yet country in the world
where labor troubles are unknown. Liv-
ing is cheap, according to the govern
ment report. Laborers are satisfied with
both wages and hours. There are neither
unions nor employers associations. Strikes
and lockouts are unknown. This is a
country worth looking into!
So the League of Nations is already
seen in the role of imposing laws where
they are not needed. They would be not
only superfluous but distinctly harmful.
Instead of the world teaching Siam a les
son in industrial systems, it might be more
appropriate for the world to take a les,
son from Siam. How does she do it?

MAN,WOUNDED BY
ACCIDENT, FEARS
BLAME FOR PAL
Former Service Man at Fort
Bayard Writes Statement
Before Allowing Friend to
Go for Help.

Fort Bayard, Nov. 15.--Follow-
ing an accidental discharge of an
automatic pistol, Everett Frink,
aged &c years, a disabled veteran
Of the World war and patient in
this hospital, lies in a critical con-
dition in an infirmary ward.
Frink and a companion, Edgar
L. kegley, went to Darrell Springs,
two miles north of Fort Bayard,
Sunday to practice shooting with
pistols. According to Trinks story
of the accident, he had his pistol
in a side pocket and while sitting
on "a rock stopped over. The pis-
toll fell out, and striking a rock,
discharged a bullet which entered
his chest to the right OF the heart
and emerged just below the Shout
der blade.
Frink was conscious when Keg-
ley reached him and before he
would allow kegley to SO for help
he wrote a statement, declaring
the affair accidental. He said he
was afraid he would die before
Keglev could get back with help
and that his companion might be
blamed for the accident.
DR.. +. s. Burwell and r. c..
Dacey brought Frinll to the hospi-
tai. A boarT Of inquiry convened
by DR.. Frank b. Brewer, the exc
cutive officer, found the affair &C
cidental. Representatives of the
sheriff's office were present. FrinE
is n resident of Hillsboro. n. c.

At the close of the last academic year
only six out of $50 failed to pass all their

groups of students of this size anywhere
can equal. One of the veteran graduates
is teaching psychology in the University
of Nebraska Another student during his

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

In the stress and excitement of the bat
tie field many acts of bravery and hero
ism are performed. When the soldier
comes home, however, the band plays,
the leading citizen declaims his record,
and he is forthwith forgotten. Nothing
more out Of the ordinary is expected of
him. Indeed, rather less is expected, if
one is to Judge by the difficulty with
which the veterans of the Great War Sc
cure jobs. The soldier is relegated to
the vast and hopeless army of has-beens.
But the same spirit that won medals
and citations in France is still alive and
working. The Come Back club of Co.
lumbia University bears witness. This is
composed entirely of disabled veterans
who have been placed in the University
by the United States Veterans Bureau.
They were all ten per cent under pre-

MORE CONSERVATISM NEEDED.

One of the most noticeable defects in
our political life today is the prevalence
of medocrity in public administration.
Men of fitness and superior ability are
not recognized, with the result that, too
often, it is difficult to persuade men OF
the right stamp to accept public office.
Public service is steadily growing more
complex and for that reason it demands
a higher degree of efficiency than ever
before. But there is equally a disposition
on the part of the public to prefer
popular" rather than an efficient candi-
date for office; a man of the people"
rather than a scholar who is trained. A
notable example may be found in the
defeat of Governor Miller of New York.
He was regarded as by far the most
capable executive, and his administra-
ton the most efficient, which New York
has ever had. But he went down in over
whelming defeat. His opponent, cap
Smith, though one OF the most popular
men in the state, is not even in the
same class with Miller. The reason for
this is that he is more truly representa-
tive of the people of New York City,
where the bulk of the deciding vote is
cast and where Tammany is enthroned.
Perhaps the real cause of the prevail
ing mediocrity in public life is that the
people themselves devote too little time
to the study of politics, Were they to do
so, expensive political campaigns would
be unnecessary and the election of can
didate would not then be predicated on
promises which initiate against effici-
ency.
The problem which confronts the
voters, not at election time, but through
out the year, is that of securing the right
man for the right place and the only
way to meet it is in holding out some
incentive Of reward for meritorious serv-
ice
