Lesson orgotten

Perhaps the most tragic weakness
of our attitude toward social
problems is the thought that they
can be solved by statute, or failing
that, that they can be solved by
arbitrary decisions.
In view of the fact that this re-
public came into being largely
through fear and resentment of law,
that this government was designed
for no purpose so distinctly as to
prevent another overo csc of law and
that for $50 years we have professed
to believe that the people were able
to govern themselves with a
minimum of law, is it not curious
how prone we are to yelp for legal
measures, or extra legal dictation
every time we get in a jam?

action of the stomach juices, but
are readily broken down by the
bacteria which are normally found
in the large intestineS.
Dried beans and coarse vegetables
are substances of this character.
The excess amount of cellulose
or indigestible material in lettuce,
celery, cabbage, radishes and spin
ach may lead to fermentation in
the large bowel with the formation
of gas.
The reason for this is rapid pas
sage of this material through the
small inteStines because of the in
digestible fiber that it conains.
Foods that are decomposed or
that contain chemical irritants or
poisons which stir up inflammation
of the intestines will also generate
gas.
Obviously there are many causes,
and each case must be studied in
it's entirety to determine the fac
tors responsible before the physician
can outline a suitable diet or suit
able change of habits which will
lead to the prevention Of gas forma-
ton and recovery from disease.

The Solution

IT is possible to get into all kinds
i of difficulties with this prob
lem if East and West take advan-
tage of any errors. But it is also
possible to work it out very smooth
ly, no matter what kind Of defense
is encountered.
South begins with the ace Of
hearts, North discarding his nine
of diamonds. Then the jack of dia-
monds is led, North winning with
the king.
Now North leads his club and
East wins the trick. But East must
now lead a spade through minors
tenace and up to North's major
tenace, giving North all the remain
ing tricks.
An opening lead of the ten or the
eight of hearts, placing the lead
with West, will not work out. West
will then return a diamond which,

The Riddle

Beautiful
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
A FAMOUS beautician-Oh, rare
L N title-who does a column for
the newspapers cheers up her coun-
try readers with the admonition that
they must not be downcast because
life and circumstance is not to be
blamed for neglected appearance.
Pish, tush, and pshaw! That's all
beautician would be expected to
know about it. Sitting in her
boudoir, surrounded by sweet
smelling unguentS, debating her
wise advice, perhaps she can kid
herself into a belief that what she
says is so. But she'll never be able
to kid the country women.
Keeping. yourself always cold
creamed and curled and manicured
entails good deal of work and GER
tainly does use up the time. And
these multitudes Of mothers with
babies hanging crying to them
haven't any too much of that to
spare.
Tired they are, poor things, when
night falls. Worn with anxiety and
toll, bowed with standing over
steaming washtubs, their hands
hardened with hopping floors, their
eyes dim with stitching, their souls
weary with monotony.
y n
THEY dream of beauty. Do you
l. think their hearts are not
torn as they watch their charms
slowly fading, as the years leave
| gray in their hair and wrinkles
in their faces? But bearing chill
dren and counting pennies never
yet has been conductive to the
preservation of good looks. Life
has way Of undoing the work Of
skin foods. Sorrow can carve more
lines in the face than a beautician
can take out in ten years.
These women, the poor and wor-
ried in cities, the overworked and
harassed in the country, need some
thing more substantial for their
souls than recipes for cold creams.
They need words Of commentator
for their courage, praise for their
labors, recognition for their services
to our civilization.
For though beauticians may have
their place, it never can be such an
important one as that filled by the
homely women who neglect their
skins because they are looking after
their children.
And surely, if there be divine JUS
tice in the universe, somewhere
these stanch souls whose lives
have been barren Of loneliness ana
starved for beauty. will be clothed
in a new radiance that will compen-
safe them for all they have missed
here.

QueStiOn--What is walking
typhoid or walking influenza?

Answer-Some people, in the
process of developing serious
disease do not have sense
enough to go to bed. They
walk around with fever and
other symptoms, spreading the
disease to others. In the past,
the condition was called walk
ing typhoid or influenza; now

How wide is the English channel
at it's narrOwest point? How long
did it take Captain Matthew Webb
to make the swim? What became
of him?
The English channel is twenty
one miles wide at its narrowest
point between England and France.
Captain Webb swan from Dover,
England to Calais, France in 81
hours As minutes, Aug. "a, 1875. On
Aug. IL, 1875 he made his first at
tempt to swim the channel which
ended in failure, but succeeded in
the second attempt. In 1883 to
maintain a waning popularity he
undertook to swim the rapids and
whirlpool of Niagara and persisted
in the attempt.
What would be the approximate
weight of a twelve-fOOt shark? How
fast does a shark move in the water?
The recorded weight of large
sharks are mostly based on estt-
mates. The weight for any given
length also varies with the species;
it is therefore not possible to state
definitely how much twelve-foot
shark weighs. A hammerhead shark
Of seventeen feet has been estimated
to weigh 1900 pounds. A whale
shark, thirty-eight feet long, was
estimated to weigh $4,000 pounds.
The speed of shark is not definite
ly known. No doubt the speed
varies greatly according to circum-
stances and the constantly chang
ing impressions which the shark re-
ceives from it's environment.
What is the right of eminent do
main?
Lands owned by private in
dividuals can be taken by the gov
eminent even against the will of
the owner. This privilege Of the
government is called the fright of
eminent domain" Some of the es-
sential conditions to the valid ex-
ercise of this right are: There must
be a condemnation proceeding in
which the owner or his duly author
lied representative must be heard;
the property so condemned must be
for the public use or good; the owner
must be justly compensated for the
loss of his property, the value Of
whic his determined by the current
market value of such property in
that given locality at the time Of its
conversion by the government.
How soon after receiving calls
from neighbOrs in the locality into
which pne has recently moved,
should return calls be made?
A call should be promptly re-
turned within two or three weeks
at most; if not, it is an indication
that the friendship is not desired.
A bride or newcomer should not
wait longer than two weeks before
returning her calls. After the eX-
change of calls, it depends upon in
dividuals whether the acquaintance
is developed.
