Reformation Plumber

TT can hardly be denied that there
Il are hearts in Mexico. as well as
some other places, which bleed with
upliit and reform, but some how the
blood seems to flow much freer when
plumber is in sight.
Even Iii our own dear country, it
is generally hard to get a drive
started, no matter how noble the
motive or pure the purpose, unless
there is good pay in it for some one.
Take prohibition, for instance, and
how much did it cost to put over
the eighteenth amendment, in spite
of all the talk about fanaticism and
spontaneous zeal?
Not only that. but it stil costs
something to get men to enforce
prohibition, though to let enthusiasts
tell it the virtue of doing so ought
to be more than enough for its own
reward

is likely to make the itch even worse.
Physicians DO not believe that
bites or any other causes of Itch
ing should be scratched. The great
difficulty with scratching is; first,
that it merely relieves the itching
during the scratching process and
not permanently; second, that it is
likely to irritate the skin SO serious
ly that the pus-forming bacteria
constantly present upon the skin
will gain entrance through the spot
that is broken down by scratching,
and set up an infection far worse
than the original condition
Bites of the louise, the bed bug,
the larvae of pin worms, of the flea
and the tick, and of the acarus
scabiei, or itch parasite, produces
we'll nigh intolerable itching.

A Brave Woman
THERE are circumstances whic

THERE are circumstances which
4 no human being can overcome,
and which make help imperative,
but brighter side of the picture is
to be found in the success of those
who get out of their troubles some
way in spite of seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles.
Josephine Callahan Of Los An
geles, Cal, not only has obtained
her license as an aviatrix, but drives
horses and autos though she is with
out hands.
With a flying stick so contrived
that she can make her six-inch
arms manipulate it, and with the
seat raised to accommodate her
short body, she ICONS, loops the
loop, and says it is not half so hard
as driving a car.

trodden people and all that, but the
boys appear to have gathered up
quite bit of loot as they went
along, and not only the boys in
charge, but some of those who
stayed so far behind that they never
came within speaking distance of
the rear guard.
Il is not surprising, therefore, to
discover two of the gang trying to
make Europe via New York with
three-Quarters of a million in a
little black bag, or to learn that
one of them held a gambling con-
cession under great patriot lead
er, while the other was content to
act as his secretary.

HEALTH SUPERSTITIONS-No. SO -
Yes, a Mosquito Bite Will Itch

Physicians prescribe all sorts Of
preparations which control the
sensation of itching satisfactorily
but the cure of the condition de-
ponds on getting rid of the para
site or of the toxic substances that
are responsible.
In the case of the mosquito bite.
the blood supply takes care of this
usually within tWenty-four hours,
sometimes longer.
An unscratched mosquito bite will
stop itching if one has a mind
strong enough TO avoid paying at
tention or capable of being fixed on
some other matter.
Really it does not stop itching at
all. merely the threshold for per-
ception of the sense of itching is
raised.

Joke on Dry SIeuthS

CTILL there is plenty of zeal,
- even though it does need the
stimulus Of a pay envelope now and
then-so much, in fact, that Gus
toms guards are ready to search
one Of Uncle Sans cruisers on an
anonymous tip.
What credulity and what cour-
age! Also. what humiliation. when
they discovered nothing to report
but the fact that they had been
gloriously bunked
Now they say that the unsigned
note which informed them that
they could find plenty if they
would only visit some of the war
ships in New York harbor, prefer
ably the Richmond, was probably
written by d!sgruntled sailor
Too bad they could not have
thought of that before.

ID Evening Post carried an edi-
torial called Common Sense and
the bennett Case. The paper has
on several occasion s expressed
tepid regrets concerning the con-
viction, but now it is inclined to
pick certain flaws in the propa-
ganda for the defendant, as fol-
lows:
Mrs. bennett should not be sup
pressed or imprisoned for trying to
give to adoleScents the facts about
sex. But neither Mrs. bennett nor
her radical supporters should be al
lowed to impose her booklet upon
the children Of fathers and moth
ers who happen to think that their
ideas Of sex education are every bit
as good as Mrs. Dement'S.
The pamphlet should be print

righteous thing for the compulsory

Apaches of the Paris underworld
stink furtively through "The Re
deeming Sin, which comes tonight
to Fox Imperial Theatre, starring
Dolores Costello and Conrad Nagel
in a Warner Bros Nitaphone film.
The frowzy cafes of the Apache
world, the secret rendezvous in the
sewer system of Paris, far beneath
its streets, the majestic glory of its
cathedrals, all az reproduced in
"The Redeeming Sim The plot,
though somewhat complicated, is
full of interest, and maintains its
strength throughout the film.
Seen in lesser parts are such
notables of the screen world as
Lionel Belmore, Georgie Stone, War
ner Richmond, Nina Quartero and
Philippe De Lacy.
The role of Joan, dancer, is diff
ferent from any previous part in
which Dolores Costello has been
seen. The coy, somewhat demure
actress of previous plays is trans
formed into a fighting, snarling,
high strung girl of the Paris slums.
Ruled by thief and rescued by
a young doctor, whom she tries to
murder at least twice, surrounded by
forces of evil and unaware of any
other strata of society but the one
in which she lives, the girl of the
slums finally is softened by love
and experiences the JOY of its full
filment.
