All Kinds of Diseases.

"I notice a certain number of readers
write from time to time tand 1t makes
me tearing madl that you give people
advice about all kinds of disease, and
80 I thought I would drop YOU few
lines JpageS, in fdct1 "and see what
you think about my case. And then
follows narrowing recitation of all
kinds of symptoms. And, as ! say,
am feeling pretty mad and just care
lessly permit the automatic chucker
to close the incident or else | tell EN-
a. politely as one can tell 'em on the
wholesale plan that my best advice
to people who are handled" like that
Is that they consult d physician. Then
somebody else gets mad. That's why
| haven't been so liberal with this
advice lately. I found it was driving
a considerable number Of It's recipi-
ents into anonymity, and goodness
knows the chucker is worked to ca
pacity without overloading it with
such twaddle,
Just how or where these observant
readers notice" that l give advice
about "all kinds of disease" | haven t
the least idea. 1t certainly isn't in
this department of mine In the pa
per. Can it be that they have this
department mixed up with something
else? At any rate, the one thing l am
glad to give advice about almost any
thing else but, is Il reader ) individual
case. That is a medical problem to be
submitted to the individuals own ply
Sician-or to the corner cop or the
neighbors if the reader prefers. 1t does
not come within my province and
neither here nor by correspondence
do | ever offer medical advice.
Questions which come under the
head of Health or Hygiene" or How
TO Keep Well" l am glad to answer
to the best of my ability and with the
aid of many experts and authorities
available TO me. Even medical queS-

Cutlery Racks and Securing Boxes
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

desired size. The width of the board
depends upon the number of knives
it is to hold. There must be space a
little more than the width of each
knife, since the cutlery is placed in a
single row. blades down, in the holder.
To form the rack, fasten a 5s-inch
strip of wood along the top, the width
regulated by the distance the rack is
to stand out from the wall when it is
put up This need not be more than
a couple of inches wide, perhaps less.
There must be room for the thickeSt
knife handle to slip down easily with
out touching the wall when the knife
Is put away.
To Make and Place Rack.
The edge not attached to the board
should have as many indentations cut
from it as there are knives to go in
the rack; the sizes of these indenta-
tions corresponding with the width of
the various blades, for each knife has
it's special place Screw strips of
wood the same width as the top por-
ton from top piece along the inside Of
lengthwise edges to form sides. If the
outside board is sufficiently long for
the tips of the blades to be an inch or
so higher than the lowest edge. there
may be no strip Of wood along the
bottom of the rack. 1t is best not TO
have this end boxed, for no dust can
settle inside the rack and desired pro-
lection is secured without it. Screw
the rack with the intended edge up
toward the wall at any place in the
kitchen where the knives will be
handiest. Sometimes such a rack is
placed by sink, by a table or on a
cupboard door. 1t will be found a
great convenience as well as a protec-
tA I'D tyN-f nnt
dents.
Securing Box.
A securing box will be found an
other convenience. 1t can be made
from four pieces of wood, one piece
much longer than the others. which,
with an end portion for the bottom of
the open box, complete the parts. Put
them together as described. using
screws to fasten the pieces. The box
should be big enough to hold a cake
of Bath brick or whatever securing
medium you prefer, either in solid or
powdered form. The other equipment
is large cork. Hang the rack ON
nail or hook by the sink. Whenever
the cutlery is to be secured after wash
ing it, take the case from the hook,
take out the securing medium and
place the box on the drain board. rest
ing it on the long part, which is the
back when it hangs on the wall. Rest
the knife blades on protuding end of
the box and scour the cutlery on it,
using the cork to apply the medium.
This will prevent surfaces being worn
or harmed by rubbing the knives
elsewhere. The box can be hung up
as soon as the polishing operation is
finished. 1t matters not if any powder
Sits back into the box. 1t can be

Care of Handles.
Knife handles should never remain
in water, or be allowed to get into
very hot water. The liquid and the
heat will loosen the glue, or crack the
handles, or both. thus making the cut
lery unsightly if not actually separat
ing the parts. Do not permit cutlery
with bone handles to get too hot or
the irregularities, made to simulate
horn, become smooth, and spoil the
illusion.

French Apricot Tart.

Cut out a round of plain or faky
pastry. Pipe a row Of chou paste on
the edge. Pipe inchrounds of chou

set the tart crust so formed on a plate,
fill the center with canned apricotS,

What TomorrowMeans to You

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
rather obscure. They do not denote
favorable conditions, nor do they in

acter. Just before sundown, they un-
dergo a very sudden change, and.
| while they are not prolific of signs
that presage business success, they do
reveal the awakening of powerful
emotions, as the vibrations become
distinctly stimulating. During the
day it is advisable to attend to your
ordinary obligations in the customary
manner, avoiding, if possible, the

you into the dangerous path of un-

You are often imbued with strong

DR.. HATTON SAYS
MANAGER IS BEST
Continued From Page y

by direct POPULAR election as it
would be. to choose the superintend-
emit of schools by the same process.
Both positions call for special train
ing of executive ability and that
sort of ability cannot be secured by
direct election"
Trial Long Enough
The elective mayor system never
has worked we'll We have tried that
plan for something over hundred
years and it never has produced the
results which its present defenders
claim for it. For my part think
that hundred years trial is all that
any plan has q right to ask.
THE commission plan OF govern
ment should be distinguished from
the manager plan. Under the COM
mission plan the voters elect small
council or commission. These per-
sons sitting together form the coun-
but each Individual commissioner
also acts as the head Of an execu-
tive department.
THAT system has been tried in
more than 300 American cities and
towns. It is simple system and
therefore. easy for the voters to
watch. It is at least as good as the
mayor-council or Federal plan, but
! 1t has not given us the quality of
executive ability which we need. nor
has it kept politics out Of the execu-
tive service Of the city. About IL
per cent of the cities which adopted
the commission plan have since aban-
doned it, nearly all in favor of the
manager plan.
Under the manager plan the
voters elect a council or commission,
which is made responsible for the
government Of the city.
This council passes the neces-
sary ordinances and also appoints
the chief executive officer Of the city
and executes it's policies through
him. This system has now been In
use for about fifteen years. Some
thing over 800 cities and towns have
adopted it. The largest of these Is
Cleveland, with 9 population Of
about 100000.
There are two things which can
be said of this system without any
hesitation: It has unquestionably
provided higher grade of executive
ability than cities have previously
been able to secure. In the second
place it has practically eliminated
politics in executive service of the
city which has adopted 1t.
THE manager plan is return to
the original simple Anglo-Saxon
system in use in the United States
down to 1922. It is based on the
same principles as those found nee
essarv in the organization Of Ameri-
can business and also Is practical.
ly the same as that used in the
management of American public
schools. The plan is being copied
by the cities Of Canada. It has al
ready been adopted by several cities
in New Zealand and is being very
carefully observed In England. This
is the first American plan OF munic-
ipal government which has ever
beenA favorably received by other
self-governing countries.
