HEALTH TALKS
Rv William BRADY M D.
Noted Physician ard Aurnor.

The parent who lacks moral
strength to train his child in the
way he should go resorts to physi
cal assault upon the child ostensi-
bly, as punishment for some Of
tense the child has committed, but
in reality out of sheer rage and dis
gust at his own failure and sort
of insane fury to conceal his own
moral weakness. Therefore ii is
among the less intelligent class IS
that one finds the most cruel and
inhuman punishment meeted out to
the badly trained children.
To spank a child is a shameful
confession of moral depravity. and
the sane parent may well blush
in his own experience.
Questions and Answers.
Peroxide-What effect has per-
oxide on the hair? RITA.
Answer-It bleaches the hair and
often ruins it.
Once a Month Too Often-Is once
"a month too often to take a physlc
to clear the complexion? Would
a bottle of citrate of magnesia once
a month prove drying to the COM
plexion? MISS R. +.
Answer-Physics do not clear
the complexion-that is just an an
cient myth. When a saline ca
thartic or laxative is required for
some special reason, there is moth
ing better. nor less disagreeabie to
take. than a bottle of solution OF
magnesium citrate.
Bran Eating-Is bran fattening?
1t has been recommended to be as a
builder? | have often heard it is
good for constipation, therefore l
cannot understand how it can be
nourishing- MRS. Z. n. E
Answer-From a teaspoonful to
a teacupful of wheat bran daily is
a wholesome natural laxative, al
aid to digestion, but scarcely a
builder except perhaps for horses
or cattle It has little nutritive
value for man.
Another Overturned Nurse-The
nurse at my school tells me that l
have ringworm. These round spots
on my arm do not itch. Please tell
NEW hat l should do. B. J.
AnsWer-You had better see a
doctor about it and beware of any
diagnosis made by a nurse.

part of his left hand. Sunday noon.
when he pounded dynamite cap.
The accident happened near the Car
son school house and the youngster,
with playmates. walked to the Office of
DIR A l.. Arnold, Jr, for treatment.
Evidently frightened by the serious
ness of his self Inflicted injury, the lad
determined to escape censure when
questioned as to how he sustained the
injury, for the boy said that man shot
him from the opposite side of the river.
DR.. Arnold notified the sheriff's de-
partDent and tfficers reached the hos
pital at about the same time DR.. Arnold
arrived there with the boy The young
ster repeated the same story. The
officers at once set out in search of the
supposed gunman, searching both sides
of the river for several miles. They
didn't find anyone with the gun, but
they did find some dynamite cartridges
and the place where one had been shot
off. Around it was blood, and a short
ways off one of the boys fingers was
found.
Returning to the hospital, they again
questioned the youngster and he ad-
mitted that no one shot him. Only the
thumb and little finger were left on the
boys hand, and it was necessary to
amputate the greater part of the hand.
He IL expected to recover.

Fine Dope

The following little editorial was
clipped from Wednesdays Detroit
Times and to our mind is concise,
reasonable and right to the point:
Mr.. Harding, why not open those
mines yourself2 You can do it. The
owners are too wise to resist you.
Put the union men at work, instead
or having the army shoot them You
couldn't run mines with scabs, they
don't know how, and you don't know
how. Find out what coal really
COSTS at what price it ought to sell.
You may find it isn't necessary to
reduce worsmen's wages, only NEG
essary to reduce mine owners extor-
tionate charges.
