. It has been said that 1.-THE greatest
truths are the simplest, so perhaps
the reported cure of infantile paraly-
sis by long continued tepid baths is
true, also the purifying Of drinking
water by drop or two Of iodine. The
Army Medical School gives out the
information that a drop of iodine
placed in a quart Of drinking water
will kill, when thoroughly shaken, all
harmful germs. Presumably this may
be depended on. With regard to the
alleged cure of paralysis this is sto-
ry, perhaps in the class of the cancer
cures reported but never substan-
TALLY verified, although it is said to
have been adopted by the visiting
nurses association Of the Northwest
ern University Medical School.

CHINA'S PLIGHT

AS a nation China is pacif1st, with.
out power to maintain even her self
respect. AS a people the Chinese are
honest in their business relations and
corrupt in their political; in view
point they have little in common 9TH
or than their language and customs.
Such effective rule as they have is by
provincial control. Fighting is plen-
tiful, fighting between provinces. be-
tween brigands and the poor strug-
Cling workers Of the land, the wrang-
ling to be expected under a central
sc-called government which is i'm
potent.
Japan is China's powerful neishbor.
She holds in Korea the key to north
ern China with it's wealth Of minerals.
Japan with only about sixteen per
cent of her territory really habitable
has a population Of $50 to the square
mile. Her people need room for ex-
pansion. Undoubtedly she would
have unlocked the door to China long
ago had the rest Of the world permit
ted. Yet the Chinese, while disliking
the japanese, are flouting the rest Of
the world.
Here is situation which in the
nature of things is likely to stand
erect about as long as the rest OF the
world is willing to be the insulted by
stander. Due to the Washington Con-
ference the bystander is Withholding
his hand. He is making no excuse of
the seizure by Chinese bandits of
the bystander's people, to rush in and
seize territory or demand excessive
reparations. Turkey has been able
long to exist because her neighbors
couldn't agree respecting the kind Of
a death penalty. Possibly China may
be able to do so, but there is Japan at
her front door looking covetously on
China's household possessions.
The Chinaman of whom most was
expected, Ii Yuan Hung, brought to
the presidency against his will be-
cause he seemed the only leader out
Of the wilderness Of impotency. is
now driven out by the militaristic
clique. He was trained as a naval Of
ficer but was in command of the land
forces which forced out the Manchu
dynasty, later became president only
to be ousted by a brief return Of the
Manchus and would have remained in
retirement if he had not been impor-
tuned again to take the helm. He at
once began striving for a united
China and for the suppression Of the
provincial brigands masquerading as
rulers Of provinces. His efforts ap-
pear to have failed but what tomor
row will bring forth in the Flowery
Kingdom is on the knees of the gods
of which there are many and various.

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly
Spots. How to Remove Eaaily


Here's a chance, Miss Freckle- face,
to try remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that
it will not cost you penny unless it
removes the freckles: while If it does
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself Of
the homely freckles and get beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more
than one ounce needed for the worst
case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.-Adv.

Kind of cooperation and assistance,
and from whom? Who would dare
oner any assistance in municipal af-
fairs. 1t is not wanted. One of the
strangest things on the record of mod,

way men actually clamor for small
municipal offices that don't pay a dol

mine. 1t is the same nearly every
where. What is needed is some form
OF business management. If common
everyday citizen dared offer such a
thing as cooperation or assistance
these days he would be fired-perhaps
hred at. All law abiding citizens re-
spect the law, but often there is little
