affects the face and hands it is
simpIy a calamity.
The internal factor, DIR. Mar
tin maintains, is partly congenital,
and is an inherent predisposition
to eczema, so that an external
irritant, which in one person pro-
duces a troublesome but durable
dermatitis, will cause in another
an intractable skin trouble which,
even IL suppressed for a time, IS
liable to recur.
The typical eczema subject gen.
orally has certain mental and
nervous characteristics. Some are
unstable and unbalanced or
irascible and iIltempered, but
most belong to the anxious and
worrying type.

is sometimes a factor in eczema,
for q complex can express itself
in physical as well as in nervous
or mental abnormalities. and the
condition has sometimes disap-
peared when the complex has
been resolved by analysis. The
link between the two Is probably
that In eczema the nerve endings
of the skin. are abnormally sensi-
tive, probably from the same
cause that initiates thu nervous
system.
Another internal factor is
toxin. SO that some people are
liable to eczema who have
equity and rheumatic constitution
or suffer from intestinal tox-
aemia. Both occurring together
win give q very strong predis-
position to eczema.
In this way some people have
acute eczema whenever they eat
various things-shellfish straw
berries, ETC., to which they have
AN Unborn Representatives,.
The character of the external
irritants Is immaterial, for IL the
predisposition exists almost any
kind of irritant will determine
an outbreak. They may be me-
chanicaI, such as the friction of
clothes or an injury to the skin,
or chemical, such as antiseptics
or unsuitable soap. X-rays have
proved useful in some cases, but
none of the specifics advertised
really work a cure.
The chief use of ointments is to.
allay the irritation.
The trouble, like most others,
can be minimized by sensible
dieting, and no rules are much
good, since the requirements Of
individuals differ so widely. The
chief thing is to avoid. irritants
and sources of irritation. Pickles,
sauces and salt are therefore
harmful. as Is coffee in large
quantities.
.AlconoI is probably harmful
in acute troubles, but 1t has not
been proved that 1t contributes di-
rectly to the condition If taken
In moderate quantities. Finally.
the eczema sufferer should take
steps to have his mental state
cleared up particularly 81 he
finds himself self-centered in con-
sequence Of his disease.

I hope a large and beautiful one
will be made to pin on the chests
of elevator pilots
1t seems to me that these young
men are engaged in a work that
calls for the greatest patience
and certainly prepares a young
man for the diplomatic service.

his job for any length of time!
What is 1t about an elevator
that seems to bring out the worst
side of passengers?
C@n it be that the iron gratings
have a bad effect upon their con-
science?
AT least, having spent a good
part of my life touring up and
down the world in elevators, it
has become my opinion that peo-
pies personalities undergo q
great change when in them

HOW PARROT
BATTLES
TIHE majority of the parrots

VlHE majority of the parrots
i love 20 batne, but prefer
running or dripping water to
standing water. When placed in
the warm rain on a hot day,
these birds enjoy all the pleasures
OF cooling bath, says Nature
Magazine.
Later they should be carefully
screened from drafts until per-
fectly dry. Should parrot be-
come accustomed to battle in a
bowl. II win do 50 daily.
The vessel should not be smooth
and slippery, for this frightens
the bird; IT cannot find a firm
place on which to hold itself. and
SO gives up the idea Of bathing
entirely. Parrots also like TO
paddle about in the sand.
Here they are able to remove
the dust Of the feathers which
collects In their plumage. The
same thing Is partly accomplished
when they beat their wings to-
gether with a great Juror.
