clean cotton around the end of an

When the cuticle around the nails
has been softened with the cream and
pushed back and the nails have been
trimmed and cleansed. the next step
is to polish them. A dull polish may
be obtained simply by rubbing the
nails lightly to and fro on the dry
palm of the hands. but the use Of a
nail polish brings speedier and brighter
results.
A pink nail polish may be made by
mixing one ounce scented talcum

Do You Really Know Health?

One question in the first health
uuestionnaire we held in June was:
6. Give the best known method of
resuscitation for the apparently
drowned.
Only two or three Of the many
readers who sent in answers had this
one right. A lot of readers named or
indicated the method, but that wasn't
the question. We asked the reader to
give the method. That meant a de-
scription of the procedure. 1t had been
described, the prone pressure maneu-

lished the QUESTIONABLE, and We want
ed to see whether readers learn things
we try to teach in this way.
In the second health QUESTIONABLE,
published in July, the simple question
that most of the answers missed, was:
2. What is the conversational
range of cri?.
A rather diScouraging majority or
those who sent in answers retorted to
this one, "Whadayamean cri?"-and
that wasn't fair, for the very next
question was, (3) For that matter,
what is cri?
The conversational range of cri is
up to 5 feet from the Sprayer s face.
We've told that dozens of times here.
Cri is any of the common respiratory
infections-what have you? If you
call it ''cold" you are trying to put
something over on somebody, but If
you practice the golden rule you call
it "kree," thus acknowledge you don't
know yet what you have got, but any
way you give everybody fair warning
to keep beyond your conversational
range. If that isn't good hygiene I'll
eat my words.
Here's the third health question

. l. What is goiterophobia and why
is iodophobia?

the soda water fountain?
3. Should one snuff salt water into
the nasal cavity to cleanse the nasal
passages?

Everyday Law Cases
To What EItent is Bank Liable
for Wrongfully DishonorinU
Check?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Henry Fairbanks was surprised to
receive a call from the department
store where he had purchased a suit
that the check he had rendered in
payment had been returned by the
bank marked insufficient funds"
knowing that he had adequate funds
on deposit, Fairbanks told the COM
pany that a mistake had been made
by the bank and that he would take
care of the matter at once.
On an examination of the account
by an official of the bank it was learn
ed that Fairbanks claim was correct,
and that an error had been made in
dishonoring the check. Angry at the
occurrence, Fairbanks withdrew his
deposit and consulted an attorney as
to his right of damages.
The attorney thus briefly summar-
ized the law covering the case:
There is a conflict of decisions
as to the extent of banks liabil.
ity for wrongfully dishonoring
check. A distinction is generally
made between the checks of
trader or merchant that are re-
turned and those of a private in
dividual. In the former case it is
generally presumed. without fur
ther proof, that substantial dam

the case of the latter only the
damages actually proven may be
recovered. In some Jurisdictions,
however, substantial damages will
also be allowed private individuals,
while in others merchant, too,
must show actual damages in order
to recover more than a nominal
verdict"
Sam Young and Tom Gay formed a
partnership to conduct a grocery bust
ness. After few years Young de-
cided to engage in a different enter
price, and Gay bought out his share.
Following his withdrawal, Young
advertised in a newspaper that the
partnership had been dissolved and
that thereafter he would not be liable
for any obligations of the store.
Some time after Young had with
drawn a concern which had on prior
occasions sold merchandise to the
partnership made a large shipment to
the store. unaware of Young's with
drawal. When the bill was not paid
the company entered suit against both
Young and Gay.
At the trial Young defended the case
on the ground that the bill had been
contracted subsequent to his with
drawal and after his advertisement of
dissolution had been published.
Notwithstanding this defense, Young
was held liable in accordance with the
following principle
1.-THE publication Of notice of disso-
luton of a partnership is notice to all
persons who have not had prior deal
ings with the firm. The rule Is differ
ent in respect to persons who have
dealt with the firm before dissolution.
The rule in such cases requires that

sequent transactions In the partner

her mother faced poverty.
Scarron, a famous wit and poet of
the day, had met and admired the
girl, but hesitated TO ask her to be his
bride-not because she lacked any sort
of dot-which was usually considered
indispensable in those days-but be
cause he himself was a misshapen
hunchback. In an act Of never-to-be-

either to be allowed to pay for her ad

himself. It seemed impossible TO him
that this charming girl would choose
the latter course-but she did.

IN the viewpoint of some American

As the tariff act prohibits the
negotiations of treaties on any basis
in connection with tariffs except
with equal treatment for all nations,
this limitation upon the powers of
the president is expected to prevent
acceptance of the French proposals.
