Dearest Marye:
That was too bad about your
friend Shirley Wells. But do see
why her father blamed the boy. If
he had damaged Mr.. Wells proper
ty he'd have been expected to pay
for it, wouldn't he?
Because he thinks more of his
daughter than his property is no
reason why he should be willing to
overlook any injury that might re-
suit to her. He's the one who will
have to pay the bills, and if Shirley
really demonstrated with the young
man for his reckless driving then
Mr.. Wells certainly had right to
sue him.
If the boyd been anything but
irresponsible it wouldn't have been
necessary to start suit. In the first
place, there wouldn't have been an
accidental least he wouldn't have
been to blame for it. And in the
second place, having caused 1t, he
ought to have offered to defray all
expenses.

Editorial Comment
The Sturdy Pioneer
(Foster County 1ndependent)'

(Foster County independently
The hardy pioneers grandson's idea of hard
ship is being compelled to ride in an open car.
The pioneers who settled here back in 1882
s. experienced many hardships that few of
the people of our present generation would care
to encounter.
Some of them walked in from the eastern
part Of the state. Others drove in with yokes
of oxen, carrying with them few farm tools,
several sacks of flour and a little bacon They
found no towns on the prairies, the only sight
that greeted their eyes was broad expanse Of
waving native grass.
They found no highways but had to depend
on old Indian trails. There were no bridges
and they found difficulty in crossing the
streams. There were no habitations of any
kind. There were no churches, no schools, no
doctors or drug stores. Most of these early
settlers were young and strong and didn't feel
the need of the services of physician or a
surgeon.
There was not half as much complaint over
conditions then as we hear nowadays from
many who followed them but came in fine
railway train to within few miles of their
new home, town near by and plenty of neigh
bors.
Our hat is off to those sturdy pioneers.

OF the receptions I have attend
ed in the past week-and I've lost
count-that staged in the suite oc-
cupied by Miss Camilla Horn, latest

most. Miss Horn, unaccustomed to
the 'go-getter" American ways,
had become quite tired, thanks to
the rushing about to photographers,
reporters and such. When the 'few
friends" dropped in she made no at
tempt to disguise her fatigue and
summarily fell asleep.
Jean Hersholt, one of my two IA
vorite film character players, held
his reception around a couple of
bridge tables, at which sat his wife
and son-the latter insisting on so
lowly a dish as beans. And Lily
Damita, NJ. Goldwyn's newest find,
had mama present and served moth
ing but tea. Which was very dis

cause, first, they can charge any loss

QUESTIONS ANR ANSWERS
Question: j. G. writes: "Will
you please tell me what l can do
for my nose, as no matter how much
cream or powder ! put on it, it is
always red as a beet at the point ?"
Answer: A red nose is an evil
dence Of continued intoxication,
either from the over-use of alcoholic
stimulants, or from dietetic errors
which produce autointoxication. The
latter Is the most common cause of
red noses, and even our most sin.

weight, no amount of "stuffing" on
these foods will permanently and
BEAUTIFULLY build you up; if you are
overweight. it is certainly not adj
visable for you to use them.
Question: B. C. asks: "What
causes the feet to sweat, and the
cure?"
Answer: The feet sweat more
than most parts of the body be-
cause they are enclosed in the leath-
cry covering of shoes. This holds
in the heat and produces the excess
sive sweating. Those who are too
much troubled with sweating feet
should be careful to change their
socks at least once daily, and take al
SO two sponge or shower baths daily
to cleanse the skin all over the body.
II the pores are thus kept clean, the
sweat glands will be more active in
other parts besides the feet. It is

one pair is not used more than once
or twice weekly. Do not apply any.

INTESTINAL WORMS

INTESTINAL WORMS
The presence of intestinal para.
sites will produce a variety of symp.
toms, such as q ravenous appetite,
malnutrition, abdominal pain, the
anemic face, with sometimes diarr.
hea. These symptoms are not al.
ways present by any means, and
have seen several cases where none
Of them were noticeable. The only
positive method Of diagnosing in
festival worms is to see them or Sec
lions of them in the bowel move
ments.
The most we'll known worm is
the tapeworm, which is the largest
of all the parasites that inhabit the
human. It is usually found in the
small intestine. and may be dag
nosed by finding sections of the
worm in the stool.
Other frequently found worms
are the thread worm, the round
worm, and the hookworm. There are
others Of various sizes and shapes.
Most Of these worms enter the body
directly with the food which con-
tains the eggs. The worms grow
first in the tissues of some animal,
and if meat is not thoroughly cooked
before eating, here is an opportun-
ity for the worms to develop from
the eggs. Beef, pork and fish are
the meats most frequently affected.
There is less danger now than
formerly, because the big packing
houses maintain a very rigid in
spection of all meat sold.
These worms once established in
the human, take their nourishment
from the food Of their host. This is
the reason the individual harboring
them usually becomes thin and has
an enormous appetite. There is Oft
en- nervous irritation.
These parasites will often release
their hold if the patient goes on q
long water fast of from one to
three weeks. If the worms do not
detach then, the patient should take
one OF the numerous worm remedies
which can be secured from any
druggist. These remedies usually
consist of something repugnant ia
the worm or something to expel it.
The whole worm will often be passed
with the next movement Of the
bowels.
Pin worms are usually found in
the lower colon, and can usually be
expelled by the use Of two enemas
daily.
In children, it is not advisable ia
place them on a strict fast. Good
results will follow the use Of an ex.
elusive acid fruit diet for several
days, accompanied by the enema.
There are many other types of
parasites found in the bowel con-
tents, mostly heterogeneous in
GLIDING many disease bacteria. There
