Questions and Answers
Question: Henrietta writes:
"When l am walking my hands
swell up SO much that they jain me
terribly, especially when I touch
them. At times only one hand will
swell and the other will be perfectly
all right"
Answer: Swelling of the hands is
quite common when walking rapidly
or for any grsa distance. The
swinging of the arms .orces the
blood into the hands, but should not
cause any discomfort unles: you are
suffering from rheumatism. Some
times an infringement Of the nerves
which issue from the spine and go
to the arms will be the controlling
factor in causing one hand to swell
and not the other. An osteopath or
chiropractor could tell you if this
cause exists.
Question: Marie asks: "-s it
healthful or not to drink a whole
mot beaten) raw egg in milk ;"
Answer: do not recommend
the mixture of rex milk and eggs.
If these foods are used together
they should be cooked in the form
of custard.
Question: Mrs. T. r. asks:
"What can be done for q six-year-
old boy who is constantly making
faces? The doctor calls it some
form of nervousness. Have had
his tonsils removed and had him
circumcised, but certainly cannot see
any improvement, and his face is
gradually growing out Of shape.
Would be glad of any help"
Answer: The greatest cause Of
such nervousness is from irritations
of the astrop-intestinal tract. Irri-
tating food mixtures have an effect
upon producing irritation all over
the body. / have never seen q case

Washington, Nov. 1l.-Senator J.
Boomboom McWhorter, friend Of the
people, sterling patriot and foe of
all foreign nations except Liberia,
has welcomed the opportunity to
associate himself with that other
friend Of the people, sterling patriot
and foe Of all foreign nations ex-
cept Liberia, Mayor William Hale
Thompson Of Chicago.
While Mayor Thompson bombards
the rampartx of Chicago's public
library, Senator NcWhorter will
undertake to clea.i out the library
Of Congress.
The senator, like all other SEN
ators and congressman, recently
received Mayor Thompson's collect
telegram inviting all hands TO join
the American First Foundation at
$40 head. He is willing to overlook
the charges on the message, but feels
that it is not necessary or q man
of his record to pay $40 te prove
his patriotism and that no doubt
when he has gone into action Mayor
Thompson will loosen up with some
honorarium for the senator if not
definite cut-in on each $40.
Such news as this, Of course, is
bound to have an effect on the polit-
ical gilly pot, for it is known that
both McWhorter and Thompson have
presidential ambitions. Already
there has been some mention of a

It's so easy 10 forget; ana 1910 was Hiiie ioAS
sears ago.
j Yet there are some things that we must
lever let ourselves forget. And Armistice
Day brings some of them to our minds.
There is no danger, Of course, that we will
sctually forget the war. Yet already the de-
iiails of it are bit hazy for some Of us; already
memory is beginning to play her old trick on
Ms, softening the harsh outlines Of past events
Ind bathing unpleasant happenings in a soft,
osy light that makes them seem actually en-
oyablc, in retrospect.
When the average non-combatant thinks Of
he war; for instance, what are his emotions?
lie thinks Of the easy money that prevailed
hen. He thinks Of the waving flags, Of the
pleasant, spine-tingling thrills Of patriotism
hat came to him so often. He thinks Of the
wave Of idealism that swept the land in those
lays, under which the humblest citizen could
eel that he was part Of great army Of broth
RS. All in all, the war doesn't seem half bad,
n retrospect.
And the ex-service man how does he feel
-tbout it?
As like as not he, too, has memories that,
IN the whole, are not unpleasant The horror
md the terror that were part of his life do not
ntrude themselves SO much nowadays. In
stead he remembers the easy comradeship, the
happy go-lucky good fellowship Of the army.
He recalls the songs he used to sing, the mates
,ades, the times when he went gaily A. 0. w.
=. and eluded the NJ. P.'s in Paris.
This is as it should be. Yet today, the
ninth anniversary of the war, is a good day
or Jogging our memories for reminding our
selves that the war wasn't all skittles and beer
War is quite all that General Sherman said
e is and casual inspection of ones memory
Of the days Of 1917 and 1918 will bear out that
statement.
The non-combatant might recall the daily
casualty lists; the worry and anxiety over abb
sent loved ones; the unsightly spectacle Of
orofiteers waxing fat on a situation that was
bringing grief and destruction to all of Europe;
the RECOMMENDATION Of mind and speech through
out this country, with Jail sentences for those
who did not think as the majority thought ;
The sky-rocketing prices, so often rising fast
sr than wages and salaries rose.
! And the soldier might recall-well, he knows
what scenes Of horror he can turn his mind
mud, the filth, the hard-boiled officers, the ma
chine guns, the shrapnel and the rest; and he
knows that however many tricks his memory
may play on him, these things were not pleas
ant.
Such are the memories we might stir up for
Today. And why?
! Not to advance the cause Of peace at any
price," surely. Not to make ourselves a paci-
fistc nation, willing TO accept any situation
rather than fight to end it..
Il Simply to remind ourselves that we went
Through terrible experience few years ago,
and that that experience had definite pur-
pose-the bringing Of freedom and peace closer

Secret BenefactOr
known as Stingy Man

From the Omaha World Herald.
One of the Commonest judgments
formed about our neighbors is that
based upon what we know Of how
they dispose Of their money. We label
them stingy or generous, frugal or
gpendthrift, or with some other term
descriptive of the 81 varieties Of char
acter based upon their use or misuse
OF their material substance. And the
pity Of it is that more often than
not we are likely to be dead wrong
about it,
Illustration Of the difficulty of form
Ing such judgments correctly is given
In the revelation Of the secret chart
ties of William r. Alden, pioneer mer-
chant of Hyannis, Nebr. This gentle
man, according to the story, has been
generally judged to be extremely close.
And yet for upward of 25 years he had
been relieving want and distress and
taking careful pains not to let the
fact become known. He hadn't been
content merely to give help where the
need for it was thrust before his face,
but had gone out of his way to search
out cases that would otherwise never
have been known to him.
His story becomes public through
the betrayal of his secret by a friend
whose assistance he had had to depend
upon to dispense his charities. In
the circumstances we think that friend
is right in assuming that he is re-
leased of the obligation to keep Mr..
Alden's secret, now that the latter
has passed away. The value of the
revelation Is not so much in the post.
mOrtem effect it may have with rela-
tion to the judgments formed of the
living Col. Alden as in pointing the
moral which Is our text.

Effect of Wheeler's
Death Not Yet Known

From the Philadelphia Public LedKeF.
The prediction OF John Philip Hill,
former Congressman from Maryland,
that the death of Wayne B. Wheeler
marked the end OF dry dominance over
Congress may be premature. 1t may
be likewise unsafe to predict that his
passing means that the end of the
experiment" to regulate the LIQUOR
traffic through the medium of laws
passed by Congress is in sight The
Seventeen Congress will find q new
general counsel of the Anti Saloon
League presenting it's demands for
prohibition enforcement. AS some of
it's members did not approve the
Wheeler methods. it's methods NAV be
changed. 1t may not be possible for
some successor to Representative Hill
to point out the successor to Mr..
Wheeler in the House gallery and
chide Congressman for dumping at
the crack of his whip" Clashes be-
tween the Treasury Department and
the Anti-Saloon League over the pro-
hibition enforcement organization may
not be so frequent or so pronounced
as those during the Wheeler regime,
but the questions raised will have no
final answers until the records of an
other year and another Congress indi-
cate the trend and significance Of the
drys program for the future.

The Chemistry Age.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
DIR, George d. Rosengarten, the
president of the American Chemical
Society, in claiming this as the age
or chemistry. substituted a creative
process for the materials of mans
weapons and utensils by which the
earlier ages have been designated.
Man has moved from a stone age
into bronze age, from a bronze age
into an iron age and from an iron
age into one of many metals. lie
now knows not only all of the metals
in their natural state, but all the ele-
ments out of which the earth anG
all that is in it were fashioned. This
Is notably the age of synthesiZing,
largely through chemistry. what 1t
has brought to the ken of man. SO
have the ages of stone and bronze
and iron and all the others been
transmitted into an age in which
man working with the original ele-
ments, making new combinations,
forming new alloys has become him
self a creator. In very true sense
it is thus pre- -eminently the age of
chemistry. To chemistry industry is
looking especially for the perfection
of its output and the tightening of
labor. 1t is chemistry that. medicine
Is invoking to it's aid. IN it's soil
of pure science are to be found, as

Government. The Mellon Berenger
agreement. between France and the
United States, is yet to be ratified.
Senator Glass. examining the policy
as principle. devoid of personalities
and going out of his way to except
the present Secretary of State from
consideration, points out that this
power on the part OF the State De-
partment may readily lend itself to
unscrupulous abuse; that there may
be discrimination for political pur-
poses between American industries
that one banking firm may be favored
over another, and that there IL con
stant opportunity for fraud and scan
dal, But Senator Glass fears in this
respect are probably not as well
founded as is his objection to the
usurpation of power by a bra anch of
the Government that is contemplated
neither in the Constitution nor by
statute. 1t must be remembered that
the bankers have voluntarily bound
themselves to the State Departments
advice. But it is also fact that the
present practice involves sanctions
and moral obligations on the part of
the Government.
Approval Of a private loan by the
Government undoubtedly places
great responsibility upon the Govern
ment, while refusal to approve may
subject the Government to criticism
for acting in a matter which lies out
