DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
BASIS OF HARDING S
TOUR OVER WEST
President Says Relations
With Europe Were Never
Better.


AUGUSTA, Ga, April domestic
Issues largely will form the basis for
President Harding's Western speech
making tour and his campaign for re-
election while international affairs will
be kept in the background. In Hard
ing's first speech of his vacation last
night he made it clear that he believes
domestic questions overshadow all
others in Importance.
"Our first concern IS domestic
affairs" he said speaking at a
banquet. You need not worry about
our relations with the rest OF the world.
I tell you with great pride and con-
fidence, that they were never better"
The first concern of the American
people is to help their own country,
the President declared.
Topics for the tour and campaign
will be the condition OF the farmers,
the railroads and the soldier bonus.
Harding attacked the various con
gressional blocs by stating that the
great menace to the perpetuity Of the
republic lies In bloc formation" He
appealed for an end to sectional feel
ing.
Let us re on guard against de-
velopment of envy and Jealousy"
Harding said. Il hoped and stiI hope
that this nation viii return to sane
ways, that there will be employment
for all, with adequate pay for It; that
profit making viii be resumed and
that with a great measure Of content
ment we shall go forward"

Bunny looked at ,me and I

Then we looked around the eel

ing around half asleep.
AS you know, Bunny can TAX

Bunny, see what this is all
about. This is a strange thing.
After a few minutes Bunny
came back laughing.
''Mr. Turtle says he suddenly
got very warm and thought
spring had come and that it was
time to get up. He says he feels
very sleepy and as IL his win
ter nap wasn't quite finished"
"Well," I said, toby, the cat,
took Mr.. Turtles bed"
We went over to Toby and
woke him up. Toby stretched
and yawned. Then he confided
to Bunny that it was very warm
and comfortable there in the bas-
ket, and he didn't realize the
turtle was sleeping there until
Mr.. Turtle wiggled himself out
Of the dirt.
That's it!' cried wise old
Bunny. Mr.. Turtle got all
warmed up by Toby. The heat
Of Toby's body fooled him. He
thought it was spring"
We put the sleepy turtle back
into his basket again, and he
never woke up until warm

HYGIENE OF
THE NOSE
Brice BeIden, M. D.

II cleanse" -sss :, ' regular : .".' Re
walls, especially if any infec-
tious process has taken place in
1t, leaving the mucous membrane
in an irritated condition.
1t is altogether probable that
such a nasal toilette would 20
very far toward reducing the prev
alence of respratorys infections,
so many of which gain their first
foothold in the nasal chambers.
No doubt many Of the cases of
catarrh, SO called, would clear I'D
if the nasal passages were prop.
erly and regularly cleansed.
The more or less chronic catarrhs
particularly. following upon colds
in the head would be more
promptly cleared up if handled in
this manner.
Merely snuffing up water in
the morning, in the course of
making ones toilette, leaves the
mucous membrane irritated and
unprotected. Plain water is very
irritating to the lining membrane
of the nose. Moreover, the re-
moval of the protecting mucus,
without it's partial replacement
by some bland Oil, leaves the
membrane more exposed than
ever to irritation and infection.
People who practice this kind of
cleansing, are usually the ones
who constantly complain of haV-
ing stuffy noses.
A good oily preparation to use,
r no matter what the method Of
cleansing. consists of a grain Of
camphor, a grain of menthol and
an ounce of liquid albolene. An
oil atomizer should be used to
spray this preparation over the
nasal mucous membrane.
The simplest kind of instru.
ment with which to cleanse the
nose is an ordinary medicine
dropper. If fountain syringe is
used it must be suspended but
short distance above the head,
SO as to insure low pressure.
After cleansing, the nose must
be drained of any excess of
fluid without forcible blowing.
Otherwise the ears will be in
jured. Two teaspoonsful of salt
or a teaspoonful of bicarbouate
of soda TO quart of warm water
is the proper solution to use.
