MAKING MFN THINK.

Robert La Toilette has passed on.
For many years his aggressiveness
made him the storm center Of politics,
but his body became weary, and he
closed his desk and went home to rest.
Millions of Americans believe that
in the passing of Bob La Toilette the
common man has lost his truest
friend. Many other millions never
have, nor can they ever, sympathize
with many of the things for which he
stood. But all-and 1 believe this
statement absOlutely-respect him as
an honest man and a statesman Of
rare brilliance.
What do you think was the great
est thing that La Toilette did? 1
believe that his greatest accomplish
ment was in making men think.
We do not go to school to learn
facts particularly, but to learn to
think. To be educated, it is not nee
esstry that ones mind be crammed
with knowledge; but rather that it
be SO trained that it can grasp the
meaning Of facts when they are pre-
sented and know where to find them
when they are needed.
La Toilette was a true educator of
men, for he taught them to think. 1t
seems to me that this was his most
splendid achievement. He brought US
a new philosophy of human relations
but, admitting that much of it was
good, it was, in itself, of lesser i'm
pOrtance to the Earring Of mems
minds from century-old ruts and
starting them off under their own
power.
Probably only four others Of his
time ranked with him in their ability
to make others think, in the giving
to their fellows of new visions Of
Ife's responsibilities: Wilson, RoOse.
welt, Bryan and Ford. Each of these
leaders has at times made amazing
( blunders, some Of them, Of course
more than the others. But in spite O
their mistakes they, with La Toilette
have provided generation with
most wonderful mental tonic. AS Con

SCABIES FOUND IN ALL
CLASSES OF SOCIETY

When scabies is suspected, look for
signs between the fingers near the
web, on the wrists and arms, the an
terror and posterior parts of the
armpits. the skin of the abdomen and
on the upper parts of the lower limbs.
Now as regards the second fallacy.
that scabies lasts for seven years
and that it is hard to cure.
There can be no question that if
proper treatment is not taken that
scabies will continue for long time.
The disease is, however, easily cured
if the patient will remember one
fact, and this fact is that after TAX
ing course of treatment, which US
uallv lasts three days and three
nights. he must not put on next to
the skin any clothing that has not
been thoroughly washed and allowed
to stand for few minutes in very
hot water. preferably boiling water.
Articles that cannot be washed, such
MS leather gloves. may be literally
powdered inside and out with pow
dered sulphur and left for several
days before being again used.
One course of treatment or, at
most, a second course after an in
tcrval of from seven to 10 days, is
all that is necessary to effect a cure
if precautions are taken against re-
infection.
There are number Of very ef.
fective remedies for scabies. the
chief among them being sulphur, used
generally in the form of IN ONT
ment. The application of sui phur
ointment should be preceded by a
bath in hot water. Plenty Of soap
should be used over the entire body.
At the close Of the treatment.
which should last three days and
nights. another soap and hot water
bath should be taken. clean clothca
, should be put on at once and sheets
and pillow cases changed.
Remember, too, that the eruption
sometimes last for several days af-
ter the itchmites have been killed.
: Any one treated for scabies should
wait week or 10 days after the
5 first treatment is finished before
r taking another. If the disease IS
, still present the treatment should
7 be repeated in exactly the same man
ncr during a second period OF three
days and three nights.

Roofing out these fallacious bcilels

there are two popular misconccp-

and the second is that scabicS lasts
for seven years. Both Of these be-

In the first place, scabcs is fair.

caused by the female itch mite, an
animal which burrows into the skin
for the purpose of laying her eggs.
This mite is no rcspcctcr OF persons,
ages or classes, though it is most
prevalent among persons OF unclcan
habits.
People in all walks of life, mem

some time or other have scahies.
This condition will remain as Ion;
as we have insanitary public place
and as long as people arc in clos
contact with each other and are care

A patient affected with scabics vii
complain Of intense itching. Thi
itching is usually much worse IA
night, or when the person is in
very warm room. Upon examination
an eruption will be found. This erup
ton may vary in character according
to the length of time the disease ha
existed.
