QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Rheumatism

QueStion-Mrs. H. j. writes: mo
matter how much work I do, I do not
seem able to perspire. Also, I suffer
a great deal from rheumatism"
Answer-Those who have any kind
of rheumatism always have difficulty
perspiring. I believe this is due to the
rheumatic toxemia which seems to
poison the body to such an extent
that the pores Of the skin do not
open freely. II you will get rid Of
your rheumatic poison through diet
ing, and increase the health Of your
skin by frequent bathing, you will
soon find that you will begin to per-
spire freely. When copious sweating
finally starts, it is a sure sign that
you have reduced your rheumatic
diathesis. and you will be well on the
road to recovery.
Wasting Diseases
Question-H. b. M. asks: with
what diseases does one lose flesh and
strength?"
Observation-Disclosures, cancer. and
most of the deficiency diseases. such
as scurvy, ricketts,. etc.
Growth on Spine
Question-Mrs. K. L. asks: would
you suggest the orange fast alone for
a growth on the spine under the in
testincs?"
Answer-An orange juice fast is al
ways indicated in the treatment Of
any abnormal growth where an oper-
alton Is not advisable. If the growth
is not cut out, it must be absorbed
and eliminated through the blood
stream. Fasting relieves the body of
the burden Of assimilation and the
building Of tissues. and gives the bod.
lily forces more chance to eliminate
toxins or any abnormal growths.

mot speaking" seems to be a rath-
er occasional form Of would-be a

Now we hear tell of Mr.. and Mrs.
Curtis Zimmerman of Fayette county,
Pa, who. after 40 years of married
life which included the having and
rearing of Is children, have engaged
in a ~no-speaking contest for over four
years.
1t seems that Pa Zimmerman came
home from a hard days work one
night in 1925, started an argument
with his good woman; the argument
waxed hotter and hotter. and as a
finale Pa Zimmerman opined that he
would be just as happy and In a

good wife would entirely discontinue

TELL YOUR PAW
A silence agreement was drawn up,
with five children as the witnesses.
Since that night not one word has
wife spoken to husband, or husband
to wife. If it is imperative that one
word of SO be transferred one to the
other, it is written on paper, and
one of the children gives it to the
other parent. Even when the wife
needed money, she managed to keep
silent, and transferred the request in
writing through a child, and event.
ually the same request got in the
courts.
NOT SO FUNNY!
Though the story is funny, it is in
finitely more tragic-tragic not only
in this individual instance. but in it
as a symbol of so many marriages,
once fair and constructive. which can
corrode into a travesty of marriage
like this-all the more tragic because
the married state is retained rather
than broken.
It is unusual-in fact, impossible
for personal pride to be stronger than
love. When two people can cling to a
incorporating contest, it merely means
Self-love. a retaining of the mar
riage because of convenience, rather
than love of the other.

SHOOTING AT THE LEES RECORD

Two fast motor yachts will leave New Orleans some
time this month in a race to st. Louis. in which they will
try to break the record set in 1870 by the famous old
river steamer Robert E.. Lee-90 hours and 81 minutes
for the l250-mile course.
We wish these sporting yachtsmen all kinds OF luck, of
course-but somehow we can't help ~harboring a sneaking
hope that the Lees record stands unbroken.
A motor yacht is a thing of beauty and a JOY forever, to
be sure. But the Lees record is part of the great tradi-
ton of the river. 1t belongs to the packet boats. 1t has
stood for nearly so years; and lovers of the river would
not mind if 1t stood for 60 years longer.

sEr.r.RELIANCE

An original thinker is a rare indi-
vidual. He may sometimes be mis-
taken In his opinion, but he usually
can create a place for himself IN
who's Who"
TO achieve greatness, a man must
first learn to think along original
lines. He must develop self-reltance.
Every really successful man or woman
has learned this art early in life. The
man who is weak and wavering IN his
thinking and In his method Of ham
ding the problems Of life rarely en-
| Joys more than mediocre success.
If you would give your child a good
start in life, teach your child to de-
eide for itself-to act on its own IN
itiative whenever possible. You can
give your child no greater handicap
than that Of pampered attention
| while he is still young.
Every individual who has accom-
| plished something in this world has
had problems to solve in his early
| youth. Would you expect the physical
muscles Of your child to develop II
| you forbade him to crawl or walk?
Why, then, expect his mental strength
to develop II you do not permit the
| child to do its own thinking? Mem
tai exercise is certainly as important
as physical gymnastics.
Children want reasons for doing
things. and when a child asks a Ques-
ton, 1t should be given a reasonable
| and truthful answer. OF course, the
| child requires a guiding hand from
someone who has had o expert
ence, but nevertheless, the child
| should be allowed to make its own de-
cisions whenever possible.
Many parents make the mistake
Of saying. well, I don't want my
| child to go through the difficulties I
had when I was young, and ! am 60
ing to give him every opportunity. I
am going to make life easy for him.
The danger of this policy Is that it
may lead to a spoiled and pampered
child-a child which will grow up in
to an impossible adult, unable to
function amidst the harsh realities Of
the world.
People who arc handicapped by too
much parental guidance in youth
usually become too dependent upon
others as they grow older and unable
to rely on themselves. In deciding the
many problems of everyday life they
surround themselves with an imagin-
airy world Of their own liking. They
are timid and often useless.
They may. however. so endeavor to
overcome this handicap that they re-
bel against parental authority and. in
fact. authority of any kind, and be-
come extremists in their endeavor to
make themselves believe that they are
different.
Do not depend upon others to do

ACCIDENTS ARE UNNECESSARY

Progress was attained in railroad and factory accident
prevention not by prohibiting the inventions but by min
imizing a. far as possible their injurious consequences.
After years OF development. railroad accidents were
brous' t down to very small percentages. and in the fac
tory all manner OF devices were designed to protect the
laborer, while %workmens compensation and accident I'M
suranc reimbursed him if accidents did occur.
1t will be the same with the automobile. While the
automobile is more than a quarter century old. present.
day traffic conditions are comparatively new and 1t Is
with them that the nation must deal IN accident pre-
vcntion.
Doubtless the time will come when automobile acct
dents will be proportionatcly as rare as railroad wrecks.
A thousand and one bettermcnts Of every kind have been
introduced and more arc OH their way. These include
greater care in granting licenses, more drastic penalties
for careless driving, and improvements in highways and
traffic regulations. 1t is gratifying that the auton,o-
bile associations are dcvoting much attention to the basic
principles of safety and responsibility in the operation Of
motor cars.
After the highways have been made relatively safe the
world will have to undertake the task Of making the air.
ways equally safe. Rapid transit has been mans merely
for the taking.

PADDED pAYROLLS AT SEA

One reason why the United States governments VEN
turc in tho merchant shipping world was conducted at q
loss may possibly be seen in an announcement recently
made by the business men who took over the Leviathan
and 10 other ships. that 300 men would be Topped from
the payroll forthwith.
William L. Bunker, vice president of the new line. said
that at least 100 men could be cut from the crew of the
Leyiathan without in any way impairing the efficiency Of
that vessel. Cuts in other crews, he added, would be
made in proportion.
Anyone who has ever had experience with municipal
governments is aware that padded payrolls are q common
feature of government business. II such a phenomenon
existed Oh the governments merchant ships, it is small
wonder that they operated at a loss.

SEEKING THE LIGHT

Science is said to be hot on the trail of synthetic
ferin is nearest cold Of all light. If the product ever is
made cheaply it may result In another revolution In
lighting systems. If we were able to bottle light and In
stall the luminous containers to give light continuously,
only at extremely long periods. the illumina-
ton problem Of the world would be settled. But that is
all as yet remote speculation. Luciferin Is the strange
substance contained in the tail Lanterns Of firefies and in
glowworms, etc. Thus far forty groups Of the animal
kingdom and two groups of plants have been discovered
that generate luciferin and herewith supply their own

by the burning" Of a minute quantity Of this luciferin
"oil" that the insect renews between flashes by some Sc

BATTLE OF PALO ALTO
llA"

On May 8, 1916, the battle Of Palo
Alto, Tex, was fought between 1000
American troops and 5000 Mexicans.
The battle, resulting in an American
victory. was looked upon in Washing
ton as q Mexican invasion of United
States territory. since the Polk ad-
ministration had set up a claim to
all southwest lands north of the Rio
Grande river. after settling the north
west boundary dispute with England
by treaty.
The battle was the immediate cause
of the Mexican war, declared less
than q week later. It was a feeble
effort on the part of Mexico to pre-
vent General Taylor, United States
commander in the southwest, from
pushing IN to the Rio Grande.
General Taylo-'s political star be-
gan to rise at Palo Alto. He became
the first military hero the country
had had in a long time and this
finally brought him to the presi-
dency.
Taylor led American troops to vic.
tory in four Of the ten chief battles
Of the Mexican War, including
Monterey and Beuna Vista. General
Winfield Scott won the other six. The
Mexicans won no major victory dur
ing the entire conflict.

BIG A L BIG ACTIONS

When u. S. Senator James Couzens, sued by the treas

the money involved $40 oO0 0O did not interest him at
all, and that if he won his suit he would give it all to
charity, most newspaper readers probably set the re-
mark down as an empty gesture and forgot about it.
But Senator Couzcns is a man OF his word. He has jus:
created a $4,000. 600 trust fund for the promotion of child
health, welfare and happiness, with the stipulation that
all Of the money must be spent in Is years.
We are used to large-scalc charities. But Senator

words in a big way.

- Parents
TOO MUCH FUSS
(By Alice JudSOn peale)

Having heard the virtues Of what
are known to educators Al free play
materials" Chester'S mother bought
him a fine set Of paints. These were
six jars of paint. an easel, three good
brushes and a pack Of large sheets Of
paper. Chester was thrilled.
Before permitting him to begin
painting his mother gave him a large
apron, spread newspapers on the
nursery floor. explained how to pour
out the paint, how to. avoid mixing,
how to hold the brushes and how to
wash them, and how. finally, to put
everything away neatly on a par
ticular closet shelf.
So impressive was her emphasis on
all these details that Chester, eager
to please his mother, concentrated
most of his attention on them. BY
the time he was ready to paint pic
lures he was SO involved in compli-
Gated manipulations that he could
think Of nothing to paint except
dr9ary. conventional little houses,
which he made over and over again,
while he worried over each blot and
drip.
When we give our children new
play materials it Is wise to give them
those which are simple enough to be
handled without too much concentra-
ton on technique. If we chose to
give them such complex things as
paints we must let them begin with
only a few colors, and we must be
ready to put up with q good deal of
messiness and what may seem to us
like misuse of materials.
For the time being we must resign
ourselves to ruined brushes, spotty
clothes and general disorder. The ex-
perience will retain its genuine worth
for the child only II We give him q
minimum Of technique while We allow
him complete, uncritical freedom OF
expression.
