By DR.. Roy L. Smith

The average American working man en-
joys privileges every day, almost without
cost, which kings and queens of few CEN
turtles ago would have given their empires
to possess.
The humblest man has more servants at
his command than ever served Roman en-
peror and none of them ever threaten NUT
my or rebellion.
When Cleopatra, the famed queen Of the
Nile, rode in state or sat upon her throne
she was encircled with line of servants
waving great fans to keep her highness
cool and comfortable. Electric fans in
American workshops, Offices and kitchens
do the work better than Egyptian servants
ever did with no annoyance or revolt.
Caesar, desiring news, sent bis couriers
into the outmost corners Of Rome, but
hundred thousand news-gatherers rush their
word of the latest events along the wires
from the most out of way places of the
earth while other thousands set it up in
type and deliver it to the doorstep of the
lowliest American every morning and night.
The ancient kings employed their court
testers to thrill their jaded spirits, but the
comic strips, the movies and the radio bring
better amusement and more Of it to the
plain people every day.
The modern chemical laboratory, the
photograph, the player piano and the tele-
phone perform feats of magic that no mon
arch of hundred years ago could COM
mand.
Libraries were the exclusive property and
playthings Of royalty few hundred years
ago. Today every great municipality
boasts of a library, free to the smallest
child, with which no kings library would
compare. The public schools and univers-
tiles furnish more wise men than any roy
al court could summon
A hundred armed guards protected the
lives of royal families. Modern food in
spection, under government supervision,
protects the helpless children and the un-
suspecting guards against disease.
In 1926 every man is king with mil
lion workers in every corner of the world
laboring to make life comfortable, luxur-
ious and beautiful.

It PROBABLY would be worth tine price. to give the
boys and girls better educational facilities at
home, or near home. But even the most super
fcia! reasoning should convince any taxpayer that
to establish number of junior colleges over the
state will cost much extra money. Then in a
few years the attendance at the university will be
much larger, requiring big additional sum.
Are the people willing to tax themselves to
the extent that will be required?
If so let's have the junior colleges and a
larger, even if more top heavy, university.-St.

JUNIOR COLLEGES

Y cry frequently one approaches US
" with the wish that Redwood Falls might
have Junior College. Formerly we were
as heartily in favor of this as any one could pos
sibly be-more recently we have changed our
opinion and doubt if such colleges are practicable
for the small towns of the State If one is en-
titled to such an institution many are, and the
cost would be overwhelming The St. Cloud
journal Press, in editorial published several
weeks ago, gives the following resume of the
question which seems to us to contain MANY truths
1T was written in answer to paragraph penned
by Frank Day, and We take the liberty of re-
printing both here.
"The University crowd is against
the junior college. That is why the peo-
pie want it. With present lnforma-
ton we side with the junior colleges,
because the big school at Minneapolis
has become top heavy."-Frank A. Day
in the Farmont Sentinel
1t is rarely that we come across so few words
containing much transformation.
In the first place the University crowd is
not against the junior college idea. We have
heard President Coffman of the University re-
peatedly state that neither he nor the board of
regents were opposed to this extension of edu-
cational privileges to the high school graduates
of the state. He stated that it was proposition
that the people should understand before they
give their decision.
The point he raised for the people to con-
slider was the tremendous expense that would fol-
low the creation Of junior colleges in the accred-
tied high schools of the state. 1t will mean.
according to the best estimates we have heard
from educators who have studied the proposition,
an increase of the school tax of several million
dollars annually. Said President Coffman: eff
the people are willing to stand this expense they
should have the junior colleges. Blu: they should
know what the cost will be before they make
final decisions"
1t may be possible that number of junior
colleges will for two or three years decrease the
freshmen attendance, but ultimately when those
who had mastered the two year course of the
junior college, the number attending the univers-
ny for the two years additional course would be
largely increased.
The university would then require more
money from the taxpayers.
That Is the whole problem: the ultimate cost

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Some Prenatal Problems.
BY FANNY Y. CORY

Mrs. w. Z. III. writes: Here are a
few items upon which 1 should like
your advice:
/. What should or shouldn't I eat
during the prenatal period? Will
plenty of milk insure my health and
insure my having a plentiful supply
during the nursing period?
2. What exercise should I take?
3. How much sleep should 1 have?
Not having much work to do I can
sleep all that is necessary.
4. How large should one make
baby's diapers? l would like them
large enough to last until they are no
longer needed. What material is the
easiest to launder?
5. Any suggestion you can make
that would be valuable to me.
Answer. Any good, wholesome
food, being sure your diet contains
one quart of milk daily, vegetables
twice daily. fruit twice daily, meat
or eggs once. Eat home cooked
cereals of the whole grain variety and
use whole grain breads, whole wheat,
graham, rye. etc. Such a diet, with
the milk, will insure fulfilling your
destiny as a good nurse.
2. Housework is excellent exercise,
since in homework one exercises all
the muscles. Walking comes next in
Importance. You see it isn't neces-
sary to do. anything out of the ordi-
nary in order to keep oneself in good
trim.
g. 1t is natural to want and need
a lot of sleep at this time. Don't
overdo it, Nine hours sleep and an
hours nap during the day are suffi-
cient.
4. Diapers are usually bought in the
"a and q inch widths. The first
width is made twice as long as wide,
and the largest width made square.
These are sufficient until no longer
needed. Cotton diapering cloth is the
usual choice.
5. This is large order, for one could
write a book on this subject. Won't
you please write for our small leafiet
on prenatal care. 1t has some good
advice for this period. Inclose a self
addressed and stamped envelope in
which to return 1t.

Comb the middle section, No. /, OBJ

place of water to moisten the hair
Here is a useful recipe: l ounce gum

water.
After the fingerwaves have been
put in a net cap should be adjusted

Hair Tonics.

If you want your hair to grow in
thick and soft and to keep its colors,
use my pilocarpine hair tonic. The
formula for it and one or two other
tonics for special scalp troubles are in
the pamphlet Beauty" But If you
haven't that, here's the formula for
the general tonic: Precipitated sui
phur, 80 grains; carbon detergent, 80
drops; castor oil, 10 drops; Alcohol (95
per cent?, ounces; tr. cantharides, 4
drains; cologne, drains; rose water,
to make s ounces.
That's for general use. 1t has cas-
tor oil. which is good for dandruff. and
carbon detergent, which is an anti
septic (the scalp needs one); sulphur,
one of the best remedies for scalp dis
eases, and cantharides, which is an
excellent stimulant to make the hair
grow.
If you want to make the color of
the hair richer, or if through i'll
health the hair has lost its life and
the depth of its tones, or if 1t is going
gray before it should, use this tonic,
but add two grains of pilocarpine.
Pilocarpine, used chiefly in certain
eye troubles, happens to stimulate the
color cells of the hair also to an eX-
traordinary extent. One woman
wrote to me that her hair had gone
quite gray after a six-week ILL.,
ness, and every bit of color had re-

Use of Antiseptics.

striking instance of the present
consensus of medical opinion of the
value of antiseptics administered in
ternally is typhoid fever. Here is a
bacterial or germ disease, infectious
disease, as physicians say, the charac-
teristic lesion of which is in the lining
of the intestine, and typhoid fever is
an intestinal or alimentary infection
that is, the germs of the disease, ty-
phoid bacilli, enter the body through
the food tract. Yet no skilled physl-
rian, no medical authority of the pres
ent time, advocates the use of internal
antiseptics in the treatment OF typhoid
fever The educated doctor knows
that any such agent which would be
capable of preventing or diminishing
the growth of typhoid bacilli in the
body would inevitably harm the body,
and so he does not give the patient
antiseptics, though, of course. he sees
to it that disinfectantS are properly
used to prevent the spread of the in
lection through the eXcEetions of the
patient.
At this point we had better make
sure we understand the meaning of
the terms antiseptic, disinfectant and
germicide. 1t is comparatively unim-
portant, but confusion may be avoided
by defining the terms. Antisepsis
means diminishing the multiplication
and growth of bacteria, not necessar-
lily destroying them. Distinction is
any process by which a substance,
surface or object is freed of disease
germs which might otherwise be con-
veyed in or by such substance. surface
or object. Soap and water, sunlight,
fresh air are just as good disinfectants
as any chemical substance. Germicide
is any substance or influence which
kills germs-such as heat. sunlight,
certain strong chemicals. incidentally
let us define the terms aseptic or asep-
sis while we are at it. This means
keeping disease germs out of the en-
