THE REAL CURIOSITY


Representatives of forty nations meeting in Paris have
decided there many worlds fairs and they
to reduce the number.
Experience years tends to support their view
Middle aged men can remember when worlds fair
the opportunity of life time A person who had at
tended one thought to have the equivalent of lib
eral education and admlrngly looked up to in his
community. It is not SO now.
All the world has become worlds fair since them.
The who in his life travelled 200 miles to Chi
cago has son who travels ten times that far every
summer He has seen, somewhere other, nearly all
the wonders that fair can assemble and motion pic
lures have brought him knowledge of the rest He is
thoroughly wised up He agrees with the Paris delegates
One worlds fair is one too many
worlds fair has nothing to offer him except view
of the kind OF human oddities who would attend worlds
fair But there's at least one of these in every
munity and he can spot him without leaving home.

Alester said, when he and Betty
were threading their way back to
their own particular group Of
friends.
1t had occurred to him that

to him that he should be devising
ways and means of inducing a for.

he had proposed to her.

TIE did not care to tell Jerry
- what he hoped for from his
mother and by morning. though he
did not know it, he was farther
away from his hope Of having the
news broadcast than he had been
the night before. For Jerry had
decided not to tell her mother.
She couldn't have explained her
reasons for this decision because
she did not examine them. The
truth was that she hung back from
taking irrevocable steps. Not that
telling her mother Of Alester's pro
posal would have made her irrev'
ocably his, but It would make II
harder to draw back. Jerry was
not even aware that she wanted t.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Itch Parasite

Question: H. j. asks: What can
do to cure the scabies or itch? It Is
driving me frantic. I have tried all
kinds of remedies without benefit.
Since the diet you sent cured my
daughter of eczema, I thought you
might be able to help me-
Answer: The itch or scabies is q
contagious disease caused by the pres
ence of small parasite which bur-
rows into the skin. 1t causes an in
tense itching on the part affected,
and careful examination will dis
close some thin while lines through
which the pest burrows and at the
end of these lines small yellow or
watery pimples will appear. The dis
ease is made more serious by the
scratching which sometimes produces
ulcers and scabs. A scrupulOuS clean
illness should be combined with the
application of some ointment to erad-
icate the disease. A paste Of sulphur
and olive oil will quickly kill this
parasite. Hot baths with soap should
be taken three times week and after
this bath the affected parts should be
rubbed with the sulphur mixture.
Urethral Caruncle
Question: E. B. writes: II would
like to know the cause of caruncle
and the cure for it,
Answer: A caruncle may appear in
any part of the body, but you no
doubt refer to urethral caruncle.
which is small red growth on the
mucous membrane, appearing on the
urinary meatus in women. The best
treatment is usually to burn the car
uncle off with caustic or through
electrical treatment.
Grapefruit Wholesome for Children
Question: I. j. asks: us grape
fruit too acid for child of two and q
half years? If not, how much should
be given her? She enjoys it, and
would like to give it to her as often
as she should have it,"
Answer: Grapefruit is quite whole
some for your little girl if she. enjoys
it. It is best eaten by itself, and
should never be combined with any
starchy food such as breakfast cereals
or bread.
