EXERCISE AND DIET FOR CON.

In yesterdays article ! explained
that the first step in curing consti.
patton is to take daily colon irriga-
tions for several weeks in order to
cleanse the intestines of any accu.
mulated feces and to keep the men,
branes clean so Is to bring about .
cure Of colitis or any inflammatory
condition which may exist.
The next thing to consider is the
need for more vigorous exercise.
Daily exercise should be taken, COW
ering several miles each day, start
ing, of course, with a short distance
and gradually increasing the dis
lance each day. At least one hour
should be spent every day in taking
these walks.
The principal thing to remember
in the diet for constipation is to eat
plenty of greens, both in the cooked
and sal:d form. These supply a
large quantity of bulk and roughage
which furnish material to fill the
intestines and encourage peristaltic
movements.
It is good plan to cut down
slightly on the foods 6f a high cal
ORIG value, such as the starches and
proteins, and to use two or three
times as much of the green vege-
tables.
After the enemas have been used
for two or three weeks, and long
walks are well started, the next
thing to do is to begin taking .
course Of "setting-up" exercises each
day. It is better if these are taken
two or three times during the day,
starting carefully at first so as not
to produce too much soreness Of the
abdominal muscles. These exercises
should take from 10 to 20 minutes.
The time does not need to be in
creased, but the exercises can be
taken more vigorously as the mus
cles improve in strength.
After four or five weeks Of the
regime with walking, exercising, and
eating more greens, it is then all
right to try the experiment of wait
ing for the bowels to move voluntar.
lily. At first, discontinue the enc.
mas for at least two days, as the
colon must fill up sufficiently be-
fore enough feces can reach the rec,
tum to produce q normal movement.
If the bowels do not move in two
days, take an enema and then wait
again for two days.

Washington, Nov. 16-Aside from
those up for reelection, there are in
these days two main groups Of wor-
ried politicians. The first one, by
far the largest, includes these who
wish they knew which of the pres
idertial buggies in sight would de-
velop into successful band wagons.
The second consists of certain poll.
ticians WHO are afraid Of losing con-
troll in their home states in case
certain candidates are nominated.
Neither of these bugbears is the
exclusive possession of one party,
but the first is hardest on the Re-
publicans and the second is giving
the most bother to some Democrats.
They all know that those who give
the band wagon its, fist pushes,
when momentum il needed most,
will be rewarded with WAGES near
the drivers seat when the time
comes to dish out the various
brands >of political delicatessen
which make the game attractive. .
Terrifying nightmares affect
some Democratic bosses, senator's
and congressman who fear that the
nomination of AL Smith would turn
congressional and other seats in
their states over Il Republicans
next Novembe.. There are several
such states and the most prominent
example is that of North Carolina,
here Senator Simmons fears
damage to his well-oiled machine in
case of Smiths nomination and
hence is working against AL for all
he is worth.

Occasionally Browne sits himself
down and writes Secretary of Agri-
culture Jardine, charging that the
Weather Bureau has attempted to
cover up the facts of we: Their con-
ditions predicted by Brown. long
beforehand. He claims, for in
stance. that last August, was the
coolest August ever ecor6ed and
that the Bureau tried to obscure
that fact in it's bulletins.
Business men and civic leaders
in communities which have army
posts within their limits or ada
cent are in some instances helping
out the army in it's agitation for
better housing and for permanent
improvements.
In Newport News, for instance,
the Newport News Chamber Of
Commerce, the Virginia State Cham
Der of Commerce and other organ
izations have espoused the cause
of Fort Abraham Eust;s, a railway
artillery post garrisoned by 1900
men. Housing conditions there are
said to be not so eood.

from districts which col.tain army
posts, Representa- We 5. o. Bland is
trying t. get appropriations for
Eustis. A senti. which proba-
bly, is echoed elsewhere by those
who fear loss Of posts to their COM
munities j. that Of Mayor T. B.
Jones Of Newport News, who says:

army posts will be abandoned
within tn. next few years and il
stands to reason that when the time
comes to select those which are ia
be abandoned, Re government is
going to select tho.e on which there

British Propaganda

(LOnuOH Evening OCdnuafu)
England, it is held, has never forgotten or
forgiven the loss of her colonies in the eigh-
teenth century; even now, after the lapse of a
century and a half, she is still plotting to re-
cover them. Only one man, it seems, stands
between her and her fell design, and that is
the mayor of Chicago. This gentleman, how
ever, is resolved that Americans never, never
shall be British subjects, and, by way of be-
ginning, he intends to get rid Of Mr.. Mean
drew.
Now, to us here all this seems rather like
a nightmare If there is an Englishman who
looks at the map and feels melancholy because
the whole of the North American continent is
not colored red, he is highly exceptional, and
he is not very vocal.
There are, to be sure, some who still dream
of reunion in the shape of closer relations with
the United States than with any other foreign
country. Great play has been made in the
Chicago controversy with will made by
Rhodes in his early days.
Perhaps the most serious complaint that
America could make against us would be that
we do not take enough interest in her and her
affairs and life in general. But, if we are ig-
norant of the Americans we must remember
that they are ignorant of us, and that igno-
rance is fertile soil in which not only misun-
derstandings but also the most fantastic leg
ends can flourish freely. There are probably
oughly share the beliefs which the mayor of
Chicago processes to hold. But there are many
who honestly think that we still cherish re-
sentiment against them on account of their lib
erty. It is not unnatural that this should be
50. Feeling did run strong during the war of
and it is duly chronicled in the
histories which are used in American schools.
But histories do not, hardly could, record the
of this feeling, and the average

Beauty. Brains and Babies

A sociologist claims to have figures proving
lat all the beautiful and intelligent girls are
ping to college and leaving their less beauti-
IL and less intelligent sisters at home to marry
id rear children.
Of course his discovery is causing the scien-
st no little concern over the future OF the
zee. He fears the American generation or
yo hence will lack both beauty and brains UNI
SIS matrimony and motherhood attract more
this generations beauty and brains.
Naturally the college girl feels greatly flat
red by this scientific discovery, but ones ad-
ce to the scientist is, if he would avoid bodily
arm, to travel incognito when he mingles
nong non-college women. Perhaps he is igno-
mt of the phrase, beautiful but dumb" and
the industrial and business girls claim that
le has more than half of the worlds beauty
i'd that what she may lack in book learning
le makes up in practical knowledge.
+. Personal offense might also be taken to the
:ofesser's proclamation by no small number
husbands and hope-to-be-husbands who have
,und their mates or prospective mates off the
J. lmpuS.
IA more careful observer could readily come
n the conclusion that the women of beauty are
Sout evenly distributed among the college, the
Glory, the office and the home, and that fem
