Ringworm on the Feet.
the FAN Of 1873 physical examina-

In the Fall of 1923 physical exannina-
lions Of all freshmen entering the Uni
versity of California showed that 50 per
cent of the men and. Is per cent OF the
women had ringworm of the feet. SINH
lar routine physical examinations have
shown as high as 81 per cent Of the
students in other schools or universities
infected with ringworm. This condition
is now widely prevalent wherever peo-
pie walk about barefoot, as in gymna-
Sums, bath establishments and the ex-
animation rooms Of sanitariums. The
trouble is not only Nationwide, but
worldwide. So-called Hongkong and
Shanghai foot Is ringworm infection.
This trouble is caused by a fungus
usually the tricophyton, which is a kind
of vegetable organism that grows on
leather articles such as shoes, gloves,
trusses and athletic goods, and on silk
socks Cultures OF the fungus, grow
readily on silk or wool. Many Of the
most persistent cases have been seen in
persons who wore wooden socks; the
fungus likes wool as of animal origin,
and the wool keeps the skin warm and
moist, which favors the growth OF the
The chief site of infection is between
the toes. particularly in the third and
fourth spaces. The nails are often in
Ne
ferred from the toes to the groin, arm
pit or the hands, If the victim uses a
towel on the feet then on these other
areas.
In most cases the condition is a sod
den one, but in some cases 1t Is more
like eczema or little crop Of papules or
vesicles.
In the sodden type of ringworm the
now famous Whitfeld's ointment Is
probably the most satisfactory remedy.
This Is not so good where the ringworTn
Is of the vascular or raw type. Whit
fields ointment is not proprietary ar
ticle, but formula given to the pro-
fession by q London skin specialist. In
this country we have somehow in
creased the strength Of this ointment
over and above what Whitfield sug-
gested. Here is the formula Whitfield
suggested: Salicylic acid, per cent;
benzonic acid, 5 per cent; petrolatunl,
90 per cent.
That would be approximately 16
grains of salicylic acid and % grains OF
benzoic acid in the ounce.
Even this strength may prove too ir-
ritating in some cases, and require re-
duction with an equal quantity of plain
petroleum. at first.
Smear the salve upon the toe itch
once a day for week, then wait a
week or more, then use it again II the
trouble persists.
OF course, all footwear should be care
fully disinfected at the same time. I
believe the best way to disinfect shoes
and stocking feet is by means of formal
dehyde. Put one ounce of standard
formaldehyde in a half-pint bottle and
fill the bottle with water. Pour an
ounce or two of this In the shoe, swish
1t about so as to saturate all the lining,
then drain into the next SHOE and so
on till you have rinsed every shoe you
do not have to wear Immediately. Let
the shoes dry out a day. or so, in the

A friend Of ours once had an opera

book about it and received money and
publicity for 1t. An operation is some
thing like golf-only the principal

never heard of single operation that

We make excuses to Justify our con-
duct in our own eyes and In the eyes
of others. It is a means of satisfying
our conscience. Sometimes making ex-
cuses serves the purpose of putting us
in the proper frame Of mind to do what
we want to do.
We also make excuses to shift the
blame on our act, to make 1t appear
as though the other person were the
aggressor. None of us wants the repu-
tation of hitting first. Nevertheless we
want the advantage that comes from
getting the jump on the other fellow.
This principle is wildly expressed in
one of AeSops fables. 1t runs like this:
A hungry wolf one day saw a lamb
drinking at stream, and wished some
plausible excuse for making him his
prey.
"What do you mean by muddying
the water I am going to drink?" hercely
said he to the lamb.
pray forgive me-" meekly answered
the lamb. st should be sorry to dis
please you in any way, but as the
stream runs from you toward me, you
will see that ! can't possibly muddy it
for you"
That's all very we'll" said the wolf.
But you spoke i'll Of me behind my
back a year ago."
NAY, believe me-" replied the lamb,

'It cannot have been, for never
had any," answered the lamb.

joined the wolf, 80 make no more
such idle excuses"
He then seized the lamb, carried him

though it once was customary.

rather clever way and one extremely

suspiciously heavy, while the weight OF

Everyday Law Cases
Is Bankrupt Estate Liable for
Rent Accruing After Bank
Tuptcy?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

Holding five-year lease on busi-
ness property, the Burns Clothing Com
pany filed voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy. The agreed rental of the build
ing was $4,000 q year and one year Of
the term had expired.
After the adjudication of bankruptcy
of the clothing company, John Wallace,
owner of the building, relet the property
for the balance of the term at $4,000 a
year less rent. Then he filed claim
for $4,000 against the bankrupt estate
for breach Of the contract of the leases
for the remaining four years.
The trustee in bankruptcy refused
to recognize the claim, asserting that
1t was contingent claim and that such
claims are barred by the bankruptcy
act from participating in the dividends.
Wallace then filed suit in the District
Court to get a ruling on the question.
The court held that Wallace's claim
was not allowable, stating:
Rent accruing after the filing Of a
petition in bankruptcy against q lessee
is not provable against his bankrupt
estate, since a covenant to pay rent
creates no debt until the time stipu-
lated for the payment arrives. Under
the bankruptcy act the PROBABILITY Of a
debt Is to be determined as of the
date Of the filing of the petition"

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

A reader writes: Reading your
column has helped me more than can
tell. My first baby was, oh, so spoiled,
and I wore myself out caring for her,
and in return had nothing but spoiled,
nervous child. The whole truth was I
didn't know enough to leave her alone.
Now my second baby Is 5 months
old. She is being reared in accordance
with your baby books distributed by
the Government. Editors note: Mrs.
Eldred's leaflets are distributed by this
newspaper. not the Government. Gov
eminent booklets are not written by

and one bottle feeding daily. She sleeps

to at night without waking. am
every one that there is nothing like
schedule and regularity.
Now I wish to knew II she Is too
young to have a sun bath In the open
In a slln-Suit?
Also, want to say a word about
fears in children. My daughter, years
OF age, started asking for a light
to go to bed and told her she could
have one, but that with a light she
moon. So she forgot about the light
question. Now tell her a pretty fairy
story at bedtime and she goes to bed
with happy thoughts"
Answer-Your experience is worth
something, because you have tried both
ways and discovered for yourself that
regularity and schedules pay. The
mothers who say with scorn, There is
nothing to this regularity" are without
exception the mothers who have never
tried to train child to q regular sched-
ule and, therefore, have no way Of
comparing haphazard methods and
scientific ones. It often happens that
they convince young mothers with new
babies that modern ways are useless,
and so start them of all wrong.
The baby can have a sun bath daily
settled. We have leaflet on how to
give sun baths which will help you In
going slowly with sun baths and in max
ing the exposures brief and Of gradually
frightening duration. For the small
baby there doesn't seem to be much use
for q sun-suit. The baths are most
effective when given in the nude.
Your method Of helping your little
girl to enjoy the darkness was q good
ment to her, though, because 1t wasn't
true, and we must always stick to the
truth in dealing with small impression
able children. You might have told her
that in the dark she could more easily
talk to Peter Rabbit -, but to tell
her that he wouldn't come If she had
the light on was In the way of being q
sort of threat, wasn't 1t? And Of course
she should know that Peter Rabbit is
Just O make-believe rabbit. She'll enjoy
him Just as much, knowing this. /

Hand and Arm Massage.

One of the chief benefits of facial
massage Is the feeling OF rest ana re-
freShment it leaves. The combination
of gentle manipulation, electric stimula-
ton, the carbon light and sweet-smell-
ing creams and lotions causes relaxa-
ton of face and neck muscles. Most OF
us are not conscious of the tenseness OF
these muscles until they have been re-
Taxed and we experience wonderful
sense of relief and rejuvenation.
Massage of the hands and arms Is
also particularly good for relaxing nerv-
Gus tension. 1t Is more soothing. and
restful than could be imagined by a
person who had never had such treat
ments. OF course, it Is better to have
another person do the massage for you,
but good results may be obtained by
giving it yourself, If you lie down and
relax all muscles except those needed
In giving the movements.
Begin the massage treatment by
cleansing the skin with cold cream.
Wipe off the cream. and apply a tissue
or bleaching cream. Now give the fol-
lowing massage movements:
First. Stroke upward from wrist to
elbow with the palm of the hand.
Second. Rotate with the ball of thumb
on the palm, beginning at the base OF
the fingers and working up to the wrists
in three rotations. Massage from the
index finger to the wrist; from the lit
tie finger to the wrist, then up the mid
die of the palm.
Third. Massage the cushion of flesh
at the base of the thumb up to the
wrist in similar way.
Fourth. Give rotary massage from
wrist to elbow up the inner side OF the
arm and down on the outer side.
Fifth. Take each finger in turn and

II 4 II X
A local friend has Just celebrated his
fortieth birthday. He has. according
to him, leaped from youth to middle
age overnight. He looks to be 80 and
yet philosophers like so. A man has
learned much by the time he attains
his fortieth milestone. Let us enumer-
ate some of the things life has taught
him.
Experience has provided him with
the capacity for more accurate evalua-
ton of people and things. He has be-
come 100 per cent listener and a so
per cent discounter. He knows that
the law of compensation and averages
is immutable; that he will receive pre-
cisely what he deserves. He has dis
covered that there are days when he
gets the breaks" and days when he
gets the brakes" He has learned that
/ o'clock is too late to stay up; that
most of the fun can be had before mid
night. He has discovered that to be
told by good fellows" that he is a
great guy Is a lot Of applesauce and
horse feathers. He has lost a lot of
foolish illusions about women-or should
have. He knows that the world is not
his onion, but is shared by a billion
others and that in 100 years life will
90 on serenely without him. He knows
that q dollar In the bank is worth two
In the bush league. He finds out that
the scientific, artistic and literary prog
reSs of the world does not depend upon
q, mans ability to wtse-crack and dress
aheikishly. He learns that it is dan
