A SAVING NATION

This is a saving as we'll as q wasteful nation, paradox
ical as it may seem. OF our natural resources the coun-
try is little short Of p~rofligate. American wastefulncss If
forests and mines and failure to utilize water power can
scarcely be too severely criticized. But when it comes to
purely pccuniary saving. the people live pretty we'll up to
the traditions Of the Land Of the almighty dollar"
This is indicated by current statistics Of savings banks
and similar institutions. which show an increasing prac-
tice OF laying aside for a rainy day" worthy of the high
est commentator. The increase is shown in a variety of
directions-in the kinds OF institutions for savings, in the
number OF dcpositors, and In the average and gross
amounts deposited.
A hundred years ago the total savings bank deposits in
the United States were less than 81 $50 900. Today they
are nearly SIS, 900. 100000. We are not sure that greater
progress has been made in any other respect than that.
Seventy years ago there were only $685. depositors in
savings institutions. Today there are 40, 900. 900.
Such figures are eloquent. 1t is a great thing for more
than one person in every three of the entire population
TO have savings of-on the average-about s54s. It is a
great thing for the savings of the nation to amount to
more than 5000 for every member of its population. It is
a great thing to be able to say. in the face Of the gigantic
public debt caused by the war, that 1t is fully counter
balanced by the savings accounts Of the people.

POSTOFFICE ORGANIZED
One hundred and fifty four years
ago today. on July Is, ITS, the Con-
tinental congress established a post
office department with Benjamin
Franklin in charge as postmaster gen.
eral.
Franklin was authorized to estab-
lish a line of posts from Falmouth,
Me, to Savannah, Ca, and as many
cross posts as might seem to him nec-
essary.
In 1892 rates of postage for letters
were fixed which remained unaltered
for nearly halt a century. They ere
for 80 miles and under. 6 cents; yer
80 miles and not exceeding so miles,
8 cents: over 80 and not exceeding 100
miles, 10 cents; and so or up to $50
miles and over, for which the charge
was Is cents.
In 1345 the rates were lowered and
a scale based on weight as well as dis
lance was adopted.
The element Of distance as q factor
in fixing rates was abolished in 1855.
and a uniform rate Of 3 cents was es-
tablished for letters not exceeding
one half ounce in weight.
There was no house-to-houSe de.
livery service in the first postal sys-
tenn in the United States. The mail
was sent from town to town by horse
back and the residents called at the
local postoffice for all their mail.

culosis cases under control depends primarily upon the
existence Of an accurate and complete registration OF
cases;
the initiative in promoting the reporting OF cases by
physicians and institutions;
That local health officers be requested to secure more

for their cooperation and support.

BEATING THE AIR

The refcrmer seems to be a permanent affliction OF
normal humanity. Sometimes, though rarely, his task
is an easy one: generally, however. it involves an uphill
tight. o. the latter order is the campaign being waged
by the editor Of a medical magazine in favor Of the use
BY women Of more soap and water and less paint and
powder.
This unsoplisticated believer in the power of the
printed word AYERS that a symposium conducted among
ciubwomen throughout the country reveals a virtually
unanimous opinion against perfumes. excessive ~powdering
and cosmetics. In the opinion Of those consulted, all that
is needed to secure skin health and beauty and, incident
ally. a high standard of morals. is pure white soap, a
washrag and plenty Of warm water. They are lenient to-
ward "a little powder" but, to a woman, they are en-
phatic in their condemnation Of "whitewash and paint, "
which they consider disgraceful and demoralizing. Per.
Tunes are also brought decidedly under the ban.
The promoter Of this reform movement allows it to be
inferred that the women who express these emphatic
views are representative OF the best thought" in their
respective communities. But who ever heard Of the
world being guided by the best thought in any age? In
matters Of feminine fashion. above all, it has never count
Cd a whit. Moralists and prudes have invcighed against
TINS. that or the other practice. but lovely woman has
gone on her way smiling and unheeding and maintained
her lad against all Corners until a newer one displaced it,
So 1t will be with the present craze for artificial COM
plexions. Preachers, scientists. even editors, may con-
denim 1t, but. despite them all. it will run its allotted
course. Then. presto! it will disappear on a sudden, as
some new vagary becomes the vogue, and no woman will
appear In public with a painted face unless some hope

Son. Until that psychological moment arrives the med
ical editor is merely beating the air in his attempts at a
general reformation.

QUESTIONS AND W
Admissions and Combination

Question:-B. ]. H. writes: II
would like to know what the syunp-
tons Of adhesions are. Was oper.
ated on for ruptured appendix about
a year ago and suffered no i'll ef.
fects until a couple Of weeks ago.
Have had continual headache, as il
from stomach, usually constipated,
and pains in back that lead up to
back Of head"
Answer:-Adhesions binding the
intestines together are q common
cause of constipation. The only
way you can be sure whether or not
You have adhesions is to have an
X-ray examination made. Adhe-
sions may produce symptoms in al
most any part of the body If they
are of sufficient strength to inter.
fere with the functional activity of
the stomach, intestines, or other
abdominal organs.
No Starch for Diabetes
Question:-H. G. asks: twill
you please tell me if the entire
wheat bread is starchy, and if it
is good diet for the diebetic instead
Of gluten bread?"
Answer:-Entire wheat bread or
plain white bread has a preponder-
ance Of starch over all other food
elements. Gluten bread has slight
~ less starch, but the diebetic
should not use bread Of any kind, as
he can get along very nicely if no
starches are used, but may be
forced to take insulin if he insists
on using any form Of carbohy-
drates.
Corners of Mouth Sore
Question:-G. H. asks: Twill
you kindly tell me what causes the
corners of the mouth to get sore?
Also, the remedy for this disagree
able trouble"
Answer:-Soreness in the rne
Of the mouth may be caused from
an irritated stomach or from alb
scessed teeth. The saliva becomes
poisonous or irritating and during
sleep runs out of the n Of
the mouth and causes the burning.
Keep your teeth clean and avoid
stomach irritation by regulating
your diet SO as not to have stomach
hyperacidity.

TACT WANTED
by Alice JudsOn Pcale)

Four-year-old Ruth and her mother
were calling on the new neighbor's
baby.
What a darling!" exclaimed her
mother. Il adore babies. Do let me
hold him. Oh, dear, why do they
have to grow up?. They're so cuddle-
some when they're little and in a
couple of years they grow SO tall and
thin! How old did you say he was?
Six months? Ruthie, dear, do look
at him. Don't you wish he were
mothers baby? Shall we take him
home to be your baby brother?"
Il want to go home!" came from
Ruth. Il don't want to stay here"
why. Ruthie. I thought you loved
visiting? What's the matter, dear?"
Il want to 60 home to my house. I
want to play down in the brook"
"All right. dear; run along"
Il can't go alone; you come with
me-"
Don't be silly, dear. It's just across
the lawn"
BY this time Ruth was crying. But
you have to come with me; I don't
want to 60 by myself"
Really ! can't imagine what's got
ten into Ruth. She never acts this
way" said her mother, and with q
sigh gave back the baby to his moth
er's arms. and, taking Ruth by the
hand, walked away in the direction of
the brook.
Unknown to herself, unknown to
her mother. Ruth was suffering from
jealousy. Her feelings are natural to
most children. All children have a
tendency to be jealous of anyone who
threatens for the moment to supplant
them in the affections Of those they
love.
jealousy is a destructive emotion,
nainful and humiliating in itself,
leaving in its wake feelings of hate
ana m.criority. Guard against arous-
ing It in your child. Do not SO praise
and love another in his presence that
he will feel his hold on your love has
been diminished.

SMUGGLERS AND SMUGGLING

SMUGGLERS AND SMUGGLING
The chase and Smelling and. in one case, sinking OF rum
runners snacks Of the past. The thing does not belong
in the year 1929. somehow; but to the more picturesque
era OF pirates. and square sail, and corpses dangling in
chains At a navy yard dock.
For smuggling Is one OF the oldest trades in history.
The craft that carries contraband over the sea has a very
ancient lineage-just as the revenue cutter has. Much OF
the romance Of this countrys history is interviewer with
smugglers and smuggling.
John Paul Jones. first man TO bring glory to the Amer
lean flag at sea, was a smuggler in his youth. He helped
bring to the shores Of Scotland carsoes which the British
government was trying to exclude; and his activities in
lodging and fighting the British warships that were try
ing to break up that trade gave him the seamanship and
knowledge Of tactics that were to make him such a great
naval leader later on.
New Orleans knows about %smugglers. The innumerable
coves and bayous of the gulf coast made New Orleans a
%snugglers' haven over a century ago. Some of the snug
glers lapsed into piracy occasionally. and now and then
there was a grand hanging in a New Orleans public
square. with thousands looking on.
In colonial New England. likewise. there were snug
giers; men who brought in goods in defiance Of the
British. robbed his majestys government OF needed reve-
nue. and helped materially. in the long run. to detach the
American colonies from British rule. Boston. Providence.
Newport and Salem all were ports Of call for the carriers
Of contraband.
New England. incidentally. shared in the darkest kind
OF smuggling in our hstory-the smuggling Of slaves. The
malodorous slave ships. built for speed and carrying hu-
man cargoes in unspeakable misery and filth, we're most
ly outfitted in Massachusetts or Rhode Island. From the
west coast OF Africa to the rivers and creeks of the Caro-
lnas and Georgia they made swift passages, lodging
English and American warships, throwing overheard their
luckless prisoners when pursued too closely. slipping into
their Ravens at dead of night to unload the sick. con-
fused negroes, pronting hugely and living hard and des-
perately.
Still later. American smugglers found profit in convey
ing arms to Cuban insurrectos: indeed, the Spanish
American war nearly broke 20 years ahead of time, when
q Spanish cruiser captured an American smuggler in the
'7os and executed the crew. Fihbustering expeditions to
Central America have been common, down to recent
years.
Thus the liquor smugglers have an ancient tradition
back OF them. And In future years. 1t may be, they will
be looked on as precisely the same sort Of picturesque.
romantic creatures that we now consider the smu1rlers az
colonial days to have been. We think our modern are
prosaic; who knows but that our grandchildren, reading
OF smugslers. sea fights. daring escapades and treat
profit, Will think that we were lucky to have lived In an
age OF so much color and excitement?

that II people yer wanted to be off

honeymoon. but. no. then as ever,
they insist on going to the spot which
all the rest choose.
MUSICAL COMEDY
King Boris of Bulgaria expected to
marry Princess Giovanni, daughter of
the king Of Italy, state rumor has it.
But rumor also says that the mar
riage will not take place because Italy
is too greedy about the marriage.
Italy. says a Bulgarian paper. de-
mands through this marriage special
rights for Catholics in Bulgaria; in
sists that any children of the union
be raised in the Catholic faith. and
asks for a special military alliance.
Somehow that doesn't seem much
like marriage dickering. as We a
Americans understand it. and some
how m loses sight of the prospective
bride and groom In all this state
shuffling.

edy writer.
