What Is
Neuritis?

Neuri.is In an inflammation OF tho
nerves that produces sharp. dnrting
pain very similar to that of rhcuma-
tism. In fact. tho disease is often
mistaken for rheumatism and treat
ed as such. with the result that tho
sufferer gets no lasting benefit.
Ncuritis is usually brought on by
colds, injuries, bruises. nervous ex-
haustion. malRriRl poisoning or in
fictitious diseases. Tho pain may be
confined to one spot or II may move
from place 10 place. Sometimes u
is accompanied by soreness In tho
muscles, numbness in the hands or
feet, lame back stiff joints, eye
strain or severe headaches.
Tho only way to obtain pcrma-
nent. lasting relief Is TO heal the at
fected nerves-get rid OF the inflam-
nation. Eopa Ncuritis Tablets are
compounded for that very purpose.
Harmless. pleasant and effective. A

Keeping Up the Navy.

Every believer in the necessity of
maintaining an adequate Navy as the
surest guarantee OF peace will be
gratified by the prompt response of
the House to the appeal of the naval
authorities for strengthening the
Navy and maintaining the treaty
ratio of 5-5-3 The vote by which
the appropria ton was passed yester-
day shows that this principle is well
intrenched in the House and will
always be recognized when the proper
appeal is presented.
The House is not frightened by any
bogeyman Of ''militarism" conjured
up by well meaning but mistaken
pacifists The world has not reached
the stage yet when the United States.
lovers of peace as its citizens are, will
be content to rest its safety in the
to the Navy yesterday and the i'm
provements TO ships already con
structed will make for the peace OF
the world by discouraging possible ag-
gressions upon this country.
1t is predicted that the Senate will
promptly ratify the action of the
House and that with the beginning
of the new fiscal year, which is not
far off. the work of construction and
Improvement will start. The Ameri-
can people are proud of their Navy
and a ma joritv in Congress is re-
sponsive to that sentiment.

Inclusion Of the Nationalists in the

Inclusion OF the Nationalists in the
projected ministry Is due. it is re-
ported. to the influence OF Gustave
Stresemann. former chancellor and
foreign minister Of the retiring Marx
cabinet. But Stresemann himself will
not be included. 1t would now appear,
owing to the demands Of certain of
the Nationalists for four portfolios
foreign affairs, interior, national econ
omy and food. This is a singular
miX-up and may lead to later compe
tition.
The new ministry. whatever its
complexion, must assume the respon-
sibility for securing adoption of the
Dawes report. A move to that effect
must be one of the first items on the
program. Until that is effected inter
national concern in the German po-
litical situation will be keen. When
it is accomplished there will be a dis
position merely to watch with inter
est the development of partisanship in
the reichstag The alignment Of
parties then will be of no concern
outside of Germany, save as the do
mestic issues may touch the perform
ances of the Berlin government in
carrying out the reparations plan.

Congress Is Attacked
For Retirement Delay

To the Editor of The Star:
There seems to be no way of reach
ing Congress, except through the
public press. 1t has been in session
now seven months, and is deaf to
the walls of distress coming from
the retired government employees.
To pass or enact the Lelhbach bill
increasing annuities does not require
an appropriation from the Treasury,
they have a fund of their own, now
amounting to about S45, 100000, draw
ing interest, from which this increase
is to be paid, but Congress takes no
action. When a quorum is needed to
transact public business, for which
they were elected, under a call of
the House, they are found at the
movies or sporting somewhere, and
the people are suffering. to wit:
House rent, SIS per month; coal,
$3.50 per ton; eggs, in cold weather.
20 cents per dozen; sugar, 10 cents per
pound; butter. 70 cents per pound,
with other common necessaries of
life correspondingly high. the most
expert mathematician cannot tell
how to do this on $50 per month.
When these unfortunate faithful
old government employees were forced
out of their positions by the retire
ment law they could have done their
work acceptably for years yet to
come.
If Congress had an eye to business,
they would make this increase retro
active, and pass 1t through both
houses in twenty minutes.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN

Q. Is there to be a Jewish uni
versity established in Europe?-H. j.
H.
A. plan was submitted to the
league of nations to establish Jew
ish university in Danzig. The intel
lectual commissioner of the league
has not yet approved the plan. There
is proposal before 1t to accept

versities into an international uni
versity. and the commission is pre-
pairing another plan which proposes
the regulation of existing conditions
in the national universities.
Q. Will it be possible to go on
walking tours from Banff this sum-
mer?-F w.
A. Arrangements are being made
similar to those in effect during the

July, August and September. The
main route includes Spray Lakes,
Marvel Lake. Lake Gloria. Sunburst
Lake, Cerulean Lake. Valley of the
Rocks Golden Valley. Citadel Pass

baggage and providing riding ponies.
=. Who wrote Onward Christian
Soldiers 20 NJ
A. The words were written by the
Rev. Sabine Barring Gould. and the
music by Sir Arthur Sullivan. The
National Federation of Music Clubs
says that this hymn was originally
written in hasty emergency for a
children's professional hymn at
Goulds Mission, at Horbury Bridge.
The children had to march over a
mile to take part in what is dear 10
the heart of every child. "a school
fest" Owing to the distance an early
start was necessary and marching in
procession. with banners waving,
colors flying and a cross preceding
them. the children sang Justify all
the way. 1t was for these process
sions onward, Christian Soldiers"

animal life, but are very rare.
Q. Does the Chicago Sanitary Canal
empty into the Ohio2-J. NJ. w.
A. 1t empties into the Illinois
River, which in turn flows into the
Mississippi. The Ohio River empties
into the Mississippi about 200 miles
farther south.
Q. How is coal oil made odorless?
f. G. ii.
A. Kerosene. as first produced from
coal in 1857. was found to be capable
of deodoriZation and decoloriZation
by treatment with concentrated sui
phuric acid, and this is the general
process in use attth larger refineries.
The acid reacts upon the unsaturated
compounds, sulphur and nitrogenous
compounds, forming substances which
dissolve largely in the acid. Shrink
age of the oil treated may vary from
almost nothing up to 10 per cent or
more, depending on the oil being re-
fined After treatment with acid.
thorough washing and naturalization

Exactly 100 years ago the Marquis
de Lafayette, George Washington
gallant young French lieutenant,
made his first visit to the United
States after the revolutionary war.
The Daughters of the American Rev
olution want to commemorate the
centenary. Senator Copeland of New
York has read into the Congressional
Record some interesting data on the
subject. Lafayette in 1924 toured
twentyfour states-all there were in
the Union at that time. The pro-
posal is that a commemoration. to be-
gin in New York on August 16, the
date of his landing. should be held
in all of the twenty-four states he
visited a century ago. The Portland
