Editorial Comment

Few literary artists have gained critical praise for

within few years has rewarded the books Of Elinor
Wye. She was granddaughter OF Henry M tioyt, one
of the outstanding of Pennsylvania and she
revealed wealth of emotion and delicacy Of fancy in
salient contrast to the convincing logic and skul argu-
mentation which made Governor Hoyts treaties the
tariff work Of tho highest authority in the middle sos
Of the last century.

Question: w. L. r. writes: II am
how of sixteen. Am five feet three
inches tall and weigh 125. think
arm a little short, and fear that my
growing age has stopped. Has 1t. and
IS there any real good way for in
creasing height?"
Answer: You should continue to
grow for about 20 years longer es-
pecially if you eat the right kind Of
food and take vigorous physical cul-
ture exercises. Spine stretching ex-
ercises will make you grow taller, and
YOU should also take some kind a.
spinal treatments regularly. These
treatments stimulate the circulation
between the vertebrae, and increase
the size of the bones of the spinal
column.
Acid in Prunes

prunes contain acid?"
Answer: Dried prunes do contain
a small amount of acid, but not as
much as the fresh prune plum.
Warts on Scalp

publish a way to cure warts on the
scalp with acid, and what kind to
use?"
Answer: Treat each wart with a
drop of acetic acid, or ask your drug
gist for granules OF acetic acid which
are the acetic acid crystals or trich-
loracetic acid. Place one OF these
small crystals on the wart and let II

for removing warts, If you do not
know Of good beauty specialist who
can take off the warts with an elec-
trio needle.
Tuberculosis Infection
Question: Miss w. asks: please
tell me if there is any danger in
marrying a man who lost his wife ot
tuberculosis six months ago."
Answer: I am sure there is no need
for you to worry about tuberculosis
infection if your prospective husband
has not been in contact with tuberu-
llosis for six MONTHS and does not
have the disease, himself.

his financee is a governors daughter,

and who is perfectly willing to

THANKSGIVING

Thursday next, the 2Sth inst, has
been set apart for observance as a
day of thanksgiving. 1t is the out
growth of a custom inaugurated
long before the nation was founded,
and one that will hold always.
. Originating with the Pilgrims, the
people of our nation have continued
to observe this day as time to rem
der thanks to God for his merciful
kindness and bountiful goodness.
A bountiful harvest to the pinch
ed and troubled Pilgrims on their
strip of barren land was in every
way a blessing. To the modern
farmer ga bumper crop" may mean
low prices and a glut.
But no matter where we live, what

all have much to be thankful for.
On this Thanksgiving Day let us
forget our troubles and remember
our mercies.
