HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

Isn't it funny how some people
study the science of being miser-
able in q world filed with good
things2 If fellow had potatoes
in his garden an would rather go
hungry than dig 'em up, everybody
would laugh at him. an by an by
he'd dig. Then he'd feel better. Why
not dig the good things out of life
an throw aside the weeds? They'd
all rot if they were dumped into the
sunlight, and maybe from them
would grow something better. You
can always get crop if you SOW
right an work up the ground now

DR.. TIeERT's ADDRESS

Doctor John J. Tigert, United
States Commissioner of Education,
in his address at the Lafayette ho-
tel on Tuesday evening, before the
roads delegates, "laid down the law
without nincing words. He declar-
ed that Kentucky is being tremen-
dously crippled in her effort to keep
up with the march of progress by
sheer ignorance.
The speaker compared Kentucky,
with her enormously valuable natur-
al resources, but retarded industrial
progress and lack of technical
knowledge and training, with states
which have much less wealth in raw
materials, but which have made
rapid strides in building up great
manufacturing centers, buying and
Transporting the materials from
Kentucky and converting them into
vastly greater values, piling up their
riches at our expense.
Wayne county, Michigan, in which
Detroit is located, shows a proper
ty valuation of two billion seven
hundred million dollars, or some
four hundred million dollars more
than the taxable wealth of the en-
tire state. of Kentucky. Yet Mich
igan, in raw materials, is poor in
comparisons with this state.
Doctor Tigert, speaking as Ken
tuckian and from his heart, said,
more in sorrow than in criticism
1--WE do not know that education
is the basis of development, but are
contented TO talk about our exten-
sive coal mines yielding more coal
than those of Pennsylvania. For all
the good we are deriving from them
they might as well be in the planet
Mars.
''N0rth Carolina recently gave
several million dollars to her state
institutions, while Kentucky only
recently has refused 10 give few
thousands to hers, We can go for
ward only when the boys and girls
of the state get the technical train
ing to make finished products out Of
raw materials. Until we learn this

trained and educated citizens viii

When young man starts out to
travel with show, he usually fails
to write to his folks for several
weeks. When he finally writes he
tells of the big business the show is
doing and says he hadn't time to
write before. Usually he failed to
write sooner because he didn't have
postage stamp.

I which is interesting and 1t will relieve your heart the moment you begin it. Happy Moth her:-There is some dif- ference of opinion as to how long the baby band should be worn; some au- thorities believing that the panos should be discarded as soon as the navel Is thoroughly healed, and oth- sers that they should be worn much INonger.
 Holt believes the band should be sworn for three weeks or four months and, if the baby is thin, up to 1 8 months. Smith says to discard it at the age of one month, and Dennett bays two months.
 The idea of the band Is that it's support of the abdominal wall pre- vents the occurrence of rupture and that it protects the abdomen and keeps it warm.
 The band should be made of soft, lS1nhemmed white flannel put on snug ly and fastened either with tapes or five or six tiny safety pins. or it may be sewed on. In ptnn1ng or sewing, 1 fasten on the side and be careful not 70 include the skin when it Is fast ened.
 A too-tight abdominal band can causecolic. The band should be elastic enough to allow for the enlargement of the babys stomach when it has it's food and for any gas that might form.
 Hildesheim. an English authority, is one of those who thinks that the band should be discarded after the navel is healed. He says that if there Is a separation of the aOGo- ninal muscles, causing a hernia, the separation should be held together with adhesive strap under which is placed a boiled coin, about the size of a half dollar. enclosed in a piece of flannel. I do not doubt that too tight abdominal band may cause rup- lures rather than prevent them.
 I shall have Sockuns tell you more about the binders later.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

R. P. - We have recently had a paper on poison ivy. If you missed it you may have it by repeating your request and sending the stamped, ad- dressed envelope.
 c. S.:-While it is true that babies brought up on the bottle are apt to have less stamina than the breast-fed babies, there are many children who have been brought up on the bottle who do thrive The fact that your brother is so strong and husky shows that he is one of them. While it is a crime for a mother not to nurse her baby if possible, there are rew occasions when it cannot be done. I shall go into this further in another paper.
 Melancholia may be due to psychic causes or physical causes. If you think yours is of psychic origin, go to a modern nerve specialist. How about your general health? Are you eating correctly and getting at least 15 minutes strenuous exercise every day?
 168-1b. Reader:-If you weigh 16s pounds and are 5 feet , inches in height then you are about 30 pounds overweight and your ''bad heart" which Nou think you have and your Doctor says you have not. undoubted- sy is simply heart that is having to do a little too much pumping through 80 pounds of excess fat. Do as your doctor says you ought to do. Forget you ever had a heart.
 Your symptoms which you have given me suggest too much thinking about yourself. Have you ever read George Eliot's Daniel Deronda?" If you haven't, do so and take Daniels advice to unhappy Gwendolyn and study some subject other than hu- man experience; botany: botany, geology or other sciences. Get inter ested in some welfare work in your neighborhood and get out more. You say you are alone too much.
 Above all things, read our instruc- tions on how to reduce your weight. That will give you something to do

EDUCATION SLOGAN
 OF GEORGIA WOMAN
Reforms Are Effective Only Through Informing the People, She Thinks.
By DOLLY CRAY, (Written for International News Ser


 Atlanta, Oct. 21-LiberaE education in the broader sense is the real need of the people of Georgia. Reforms not legislation, and upon this theory will be based the incumbency of one of Georgia'S first women representa- tive to the Legislature-Miss Bessie Kempton, of Fulton County. One other woman legislator. Mrs. Viola Napier, of Macon, was elected at the same time as Miss Kempton.
 Miss kenpton, for more than five years an Atlanta newspaper woman, told me of the things she hopes to accomplish when she takes her seat in the lower house of the General AsSe emb1y next Summer.
 Politics like everything else in life Is merely series of compromises" she philosophical. ''It wouldn't do at all for me to say that stand for thus and so, without being willing to coincide something to the other side. It wouldn't be good statesmanshLp, and, then, it just wouldn't be good sense.
 "There is only one thing have in mind now against which I will fight posed income tax. Otherwise have no pet legislation no political debts to pay and no campaign promises to fulfill.
 "The campaign has been quite a strain," she said, when she was per Tn1tted 10 continue the inLeINlc"- have spoken from every soap box and school house step in the county, averaging two speeches a day. My slogan was: Vote for me and two other good men," and Miss Kemp ton smiled a real smile that must have won her lots of votes
 For more than five years Miss Kempton "covered' the court house for an Atlanta newspaper and through that connection probably cemented friendships which helped her to sue eess in her campaign.

BoUDoIRs AND BATHROOMS

We talk so much about beauty baths and face powders and lotions that I sometimes think me neglect another essential of the daily beauty treat ment, that is the rooms in which such treatments take place. A certain amount of equipment is necessary, it need not be expensive or elaborate, but it does facilitate these little tasks and make them pleasant.
 A bath in a tin tub with 8 cake of soap and wash cloth may be equal ly cleansing, but it's not nearly as much fun as a bath in a good look ing tub with perfumed salts from a hand painted jar and sweet smelling powder from a lustreware bowl and all in an attractive bathroom with an alIuring negligee ready to slip in- to when the bath is finished
 No matter how dingy or old fash toned your bathroom may be. you can smarter it up with glossy bath room paper and a liberal use of enam- e1. You need not be clever to do this work yourself. You can pur- chase cheap glass jars and bottles and paint them with flowers or simple design in colors even if you are not an artist. A few of these bottles on a glass shelf above the hand basin will make any bathroom attractive.
 A little ingenuity will do wonders for your boudoir or bedroom. If you can't afford good furniture enam- eled French grey or canary yellow or some other good shade, will serve quite as we'll Only remember that plain color wall papers are always best; they make room seem larger and lighter. Design and contrasting color can be introduced in your ere tonnes and cushions. A dressing table requires less space than . bu- reau and can be made from an in

| expensive table with a mirror AAug above it. Many little changes may | suggest themselves to you. Worried:-In a good hair tonic if | alcohol is used, there is also enough oil in the mixture to keep the hair from drying out. If your tonic does not contain this, massage some Olive oil into the scalp whenever the hair requires it. Send a stamped address ed envelope requesting a hair tonic formula and I will be glad to maH one to you.
 Perspiring Hands;-As this condi- ton usually comes from nervousness it will only be cured by overcoming the cause. Temporary relief, how ever, can be obtained by using astring- ents on the hands, especially the palms where the pores are most ac- tive. A good powder for this is made by adding drachms of boric acid to an ounce and a half of any powd- CT. such as taIcun. orris root or just plain rice sctarch. A little tailet vim egar or spirits of camphor added to the water when bathing such hand will be beneficial.
 Nonette:-Dandruff in the eybrows is generally due to lack of oil in the skin. Massage some Olive oil or vaseline into roots of the brows or send stamped addressed envelope to me requesting the formula for the eyelash and brow tonic.
