WALKER ORDERS PROBE
 INTO YAGRANTS' ARREST
Doesn't Want Homeless Men Placed in Prison Because of
 VaSranCy

New York, Oct. 31 LP-Mayor Walker has ordered an investigation into the sentencing of 23 jobless men to 90 day terms in the workhouse. The men were arrested as vagrants for sleeping in Hudson river ferry terminal.
 After his attention had been called to the cases by Darwin J. Maserole, a retired lawyer. the mayor said:
 Tt is a matter of regret to me that any man without roof over his head might be held for vagrancy in these days of unemployment. I heard that these men were an influx from out of town. We are trying to provide beds in city institutions, not cells.'
 The men were sentenced by Mag istrate Raphael R. Murphy. His action was upheld by Chief Magis- trate Corrigan who said he felt something should be done to pre- vent jobless men from other com munities becoming public charges.

drink some water in the middle Of the
morning, and in the middle Of the
afternoon. Try to drink at least six
or eight glasses during the day. This,
in itself, often brings speedy relief.
Another good habit to form andpos-
sibly the most important of all for
those who do not get much daily ex-
ercise is to develop the abdominal
muscle. If the abdominal muscles are
weak, you cannot expect them to do
their part in assisting the colon. If
they are weak 1t is usually an indica-
ton that the entire circulation in the
abdomen is poor and needs improv-
ing. One who is constipated should
take exercise for developing the alb
Gominal muscles at least twice q day
until they become strong and firm.

Idols and Kisses

This episode Of young Miss Amy Johnson and the man
she slapped provokes certain meditations about the diff
ference between male idols and female idols.
Miss johnson, as you know, is the toast of the British
empire nowadays because she flew, alone, in a second
hand plane. from London to Australia. She is being
feted and dined on q lavish scale. And the other day, in
Australia, an ardent young man stepped up to her auto
mobile and kissed her.
Amy wasted no time. She hauled off and busted him
one, leaving him with a bloody nose and a sincere convic-
ton that a famous young aviatrix is not to be kissed with
impunity. Which, Of course, is quite all right
But male flyers, or heroes Of any kind. are different.
Lindbergh was pursued by the kisses of many fair adj
mirers and while he ducked most of them. he could never
use his fists to convince any of the girls that he preferred
to stay unkissed. That privilege is reserved for the
feminine element. Any famous young man, apparently,
must grin, and bear 1t. It is only the girl who can swing
a lusty right to stave off an unwanted kiss.

A Good Soldier Passes Or

The marine corps lost q good soldier and the nation
lost'a valuable citizen in the recent death Of Major Gen.
eral Wendell G. Neville.
Entering the marine corps in the early eos, on grad
uation from the naval academy, General Neville found
enough action in his military career to satisfy anyone.
He fought the spaniards in Cuba, served in the campaign
in China against the Boxers, went to the Philippines to
help put down the insurrectlon there, served in ~troublous
Haiti and the Dominican republic, won the congressional
medal Of honor for bravery in the expedition to Vera
Cruz, and took an extremely active part in the fighting
in France.
As commander of the famous fifth marine regiment at
Belleau Wood and later as commander of the fourth
brigade in the hard fighting at scissors and in the
Meuse- Argonne, General Neville rounded out his career.
His death removes from our midst a very fine soldier.
During his 60 years Of life he served his country as whole
heartedly and CALAMITY as any man could do.

~S~S
A prima donna is something more than a wholesome
thing more, in fact, than a woman with q voice. To be
real, to have an enduring toral hold on the people of the
civilized world, she should have something Of the angel
in her. There should be true sweetness In her charac-
ter; and that, rs all opera-goers in America will testify,
was, and doubtless still is, true Of Nine. Schumann -Heink,
our best loved of prima donnas. Indeed, like Mistress
Ford, she has seemed at times to have 20 angels In
her" And now, at SO, Nine. Schumann-Heink Is still
singing. and has 80 engagements before her! Belonging
to the heavenly choir. she is 10th to leave it. II could

when she says that she wants to die s~inging-not on the

quietly, with q song on her lips. And there are plenty
who can believe that that would not be the end OF
her singing.

a wonderful voice, whose proper and superlative use

HOW TO KEEP THE COLON
CLEAN

If you would avoid the many trou-
bles which originate from constipa-
ton you should begin Immediately to
keep your colon clean. Learn how to
live so that your bowels move at least
twice u day. Once the habits Of
healthful bowel Examinations are es-
established they endure, provided the
patient lives correctly. It Is not diff
ficult to train your bowels to act
naturally, and you ave yourself q lot
of worry and illness. Once your colon
functions normally, you will lose that
heavy feeling and feel gloriously alive.
Those who are drowsy when they
should be wide awake are being poi
soned slowly by bowel contents which
have stayed in the body longer than
they should.
The first habit to establish is to go
to the toilet regularlya at definite times
and stay there for at least five min
utes. It is q great mistake to wait
until you have to go. If you do not
set aside a definite time in the morn
ing and evening, something else is
sure to divert your attention, and be-
fore you know it the bowels will be-
come accustomed to their additional
load and will fail to notify lou.
In nearly every case OF habitual
constipation these nerves become less
sensitive and the patient may not be
aware of his condition.
The second good habit to form is to
eat enough of the foods which con-
tain cellulose to provide the bowels
with roughage. At least two large
raw salads and several non-starchy
vegetables should be used each day,
and it is often a good plan to eat a
little fruit Juice before bedtime. such
as an apple OF an orange. or some
fresh apricots. One who lives entire
ly on concentrated foods which do
not have the bulk that Is contained
in vegetables and fruits invariably is
constipated. You have to give the
bowels something to do If you expect
them to work.
Another good habit to form is to
drink plenty Of water. This tends to

reveals Fortune" so long and arduous is the preparation
for the races. To mold the keels, carpenters must for
two weeks cut and shape the wooden mold upon the &C.
curacy Of which depends the balance of the boat. Then
the keels are poured with molten lead and when cool the
steel and wood frame is built up. Next the bronze plates
are affixed. If the platings are off in measurement the
slightest degree, the essential symmetry and balance Of
the boat is lost. Shaping the plates is done by hand. The
masts are the longest ever stepped in racing yachts; they
are hollow and elliptical and it takes six men about two
months to build one. Meanwhile sailmakers have been
cutting and stitching the canvas under which the defend
ers will sail. Sails for the American boats are made OF
Sudan and American cotton. In some Of the corners Of
the large sails great metal plates are inserted 10 give

are sewn by machine, the larger stretches Of canvas re-

set of sails requiring some 50 sailmakers.

Bridge VS.. Club Programs

The recent complaint of a member Of a womanis club
that women are more interested in bridge than in So
called superior club programs leads an editorial in the
current issue Of 1.-THE Household Magazine" to charge that
bridge is OF fer vaster interest to members than the dull
programs Of quasi intellectual hash which the average
woman's club serves.
People play bridge not because experts have persuad.
ed them to do so but because they like It," declares "The
Household Magazine" editorial. Il had much rather play
bridge than listen to the average program in the average
club. whether composed Of women or Of men," Too much
attention is usually devoted to remote foreign affairs.

to local affairs.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ileocecal Valve

=
Question: Mrs. w. P. asks: what
diet and treatment do you advise In
ileocecal valve trouble for a patient
Of fourteen years who has been sick
most all her 1ife?"
Answer: I advise treatment with a
sinusoidal electrical current. The diet
should be one which tends to correct
constipation. Do not worry about
your trouble, as nine out of ten have
1t. Just pay attention to overcoming
constipation so that your bowels move
regularly three times daily.
Cherries
Question: j. Y. writes: I'm your
catarrh fast, you give cherries. Is it
all right to eat sour pie cherries raw?
Are they just IS good for one as the
sweet cherries? You also state that
cherries are a blood builder. Would
the sour cherries be as good a blood
builder as the sweet?"
Answer: The sour or pie cherries
would be just as beneficial for a fruit
fast as the sweet cherries, If you pre-
fer them, providing they are eaten
without sugar.
Burning Feeling
Question: I. o. M. asks: will you
kindly tell me what might be the
cause Of a burning pain in the breast
that comes and goes? Have had these
symptoms for many years. Do you
suppose it would be cancer slowly adj
vancing? Have been examined by a
doctor recently and he says there is
no cancer. What causes the burning
sensation which gives me such an un-
easy feeling?"
Answer: This may be due to re-
curing acute attacks Of chronic mas
tits which means inflammation Of
the mammary glands. A good blood
cleansing diet and local treatments to
improve the circulation should bring
about relief.
