USE MORE SOAP

The use Of soap Is one Of the out
standing evidences Of culture. Soap
is one Of the first things we meet
with shortly after We enter the world,
and something we should have every
day acquaintance with thereafter.
Babies soon find out that soap Is not
good to eat, and burns when intro
duced into the human eye.
Some soaps are lightly perfumed:
some r indicated until they have
q distinctive smell; some soaps are
white, some pink, some green, some
float, some are transparent. It
doesn't make very much difference
what color, flavor or odor a soap has,
it is good to use. Plenty Of soap and
water Is one Of the best ways there Is
to remove dirt and germs. All soaps
are good in this regard. Even the
medicated soaps are not much better
than the ordinary kinds. The germs
Of diphtheria, pneumonia and blood
poisoning and other infections have
been found to be removed after q
good washing with soap.
Cleanliness has been placed next to
goodness. A person who has just
stepped from . fresh Tubing IL ex-
hilarated andhasa sense Of well-being
and feels presentable. No one likes
to have an unclean companion OF one
who suffers from body odors. Many
people do not realize that they are
affected In this way. There Is no
better remedy than using plenty Of
good soap and . scrubbing brush.
Almost everybody knows what
soap is. It is made by boiling togther
some kind Of fat with an alkali which
may be either potash Dr. washing soda.
The toilet soap used for the face and
hands is usually . mild soap. often
delicately perfumed. Some popular
toilet soaps are made Of palm or
cocoanut oil, lamb fat or olive oil.
Transparent soaps may be made by
using cocoanut and castor oil with the
addition Of small amounts Of sugar,
alcohol, g~lycerine and rosin. I'M
ported soaps usually command q high
price due to the costly fragrance used
in them, but they clean the skin no
better than ordinary good toilet soaps.
A floating soap is made by adding air
to the soap in liquid form and beat
ing it in. The presence Of the minute
air bubbles causes the soap to be
lighter than water and therefore it
never sinks to the bottom Of the tub.

according to latest advices from Germany, import
duty on wheat was in all probability to be increased to
7so223c on April /; wheat flour probably to be increased
proportionally.
In some Of these countries, notably in Germany and
France, regulations are such that the poorer domestic
wheats can be exported and duties recovered, SO that
the effect is to exchange undesirable home grown grain
for the requisite supplies of stronger wheats from else
where in the world. To some extent, these poor wheats
have been dumped" In England.
Trustworthy information from Europe Is to the effect
that the poor loaf necessarily resulting from regulations
requiring maximum milling of domestic wheats and long
extraction Of flour brings little resentment from the pub
lie. The result appears to be chiefly evident In reduced
consumption of bread.
Political Europe. taking Its cue perhaps from Italy, ap-
parently is determined to make itself as nearly as possible
self-supporting in the matter Of food: To the extent
that 1t cannot grow wheat, 1t Is determined to reduce its
consumption and replace 1t in the diet with whatever
else 1t can grow. What Is referred to As the battle OF
wheat" is not altogether q contest over the price that
shall be paid for wheat but a battle against wheat.
How long 1t may be continued none can foretell. It
may end in worldwide rebellion against the rising tax
on bread and the overthrow of the politico- economic
philosophy upon which 1t is based. Nothing is more Ger
tain than that in good time wheat will triumph. Pol
iticians may have their way for a time, but In the end
the wheaton loaf. because it Is the worlds best and
cheapest food, will have its way over economic ~expedients
and political scheming.

The Pilots Day in the Air

The airplane has come to hold the place Of glamour
In the range OF the adventurously inclined temperament.
Give people occasion to express their preference In the
achievement by the great men Of the day. and it is
probable that there would be a unanimous admission Of
envy to have accomplished the great flight across the
Atlantic by ~Iindbergh above oil other notable deeds by
whomsoever.
Mark Twain remarked. in Life on the Mississippi, !"
that every small boy in a river town in the old days had
but one anbition-to grow up and become a pilot of q
river steamer.
! 1t was not only because the river pilot, in that era,
occupied a position in the top strata OF riverside society
He had, in addition, the glamour that goes to a man who
is master Of a difficult. picturesque and sometimes dan
gerous calling. He was an expert, almost an artist. in
charge Of a great mass of machinery, and his position
IN the public eye was enhanced accordingly.
Since Mark Twains day the glamour of the river pilot

English Idleness More Menacing

Englands unemployment problem has some Of the as
poets of the problem of farm relief in this country. It
threatens to get worse before it can better itself. Word
from London is to the effect that J. H. Thomas, minister
Of unemployment. looks for vast additional numbers Of
workers to be thrown idle before this titanic problem
can be solved by any nationwide policy of ratonaliza-
ton.
The naturalization program in general is of a reor-
ganizing character for industries. Some will have to
merge. but not all. What has been accomplished in sue
cessful industry in other countries. notably in the Unit
ed States, is to be adapted, with regard for English ira
dition. There is to be a great stirring Of dry bones. but
the bones are to be duly respected with 1t all.
Dallying with the old order when all signs plainly
pointed to the need of casting loose and embarking on a
new one has been a costly lesson to England. 1t has cost
in money and in d~ebintated morale. England doesn't
seem any more to be as 1t was. Its prestige and author
ity and discipline have broken down, Slapped by the COM
munism that has been injected into the national life
stream. This communism has mainly been in the form
of relief schemes. England has resorted to the economic
system of mendicancy. in fact. under the sugar-coated
designation Of doles. Not that there was any desire to
become communistic. England was driven to this make
shift policy by dire and pressing need which 1t did not
have the quick wisdom to solve and to which it was
chained by conservatism and the burden Of after-war
problems.
According to figures, by Minister Thomas, during its
last two years of office the Tory government sanctioned
an expenditure of 100000 for relief schemes, while
within the coming two months the Laborites will have
sanctioned the colossal sum Of $So0, 100000 on similar
schemes.
Engineers. boilermakers and other skilled laborers must
be given employment at their own trades. Minister
Thomas says, as q step in lettering employment. pointing
out that it was not a solution to give them Jobs merely
building roads and bridges.
Referring pointedly to unemployment in the United
States, Germany and Italy. he declared that the protec-
zionist policy was no solution. The main causes Of the
situation are the war, lack Of trade with China and, UNI
til recently, the oversupply of raw materials to Russia.

has faded. For q long time, doubtless, the railroad en-
sineer took his place; indeed, even today there is a thrill
to the sight Of a huge locomotive that must fill vast
numbers Of youngsters with a burning ambition to be-
come engineers when they grow up. But this modern
age, If it has done nothing else, has at least furnished
the small boy with an idol more dazzling and exciting
than anything any former age could give.
The present era has produced the airplane pilot; and
II you doubt that this parsonage is fit to put dreams and
desires in the breasts Of youngsters, just visit the Bis
marck airport and watch the planes and the flyers come
and go, study the matter and be convinced.
In the first place, there is nothing anywhere more
supremely lovely and inspiring than an airplane IN the
air. The designers nowadays, just to make things better,
have taken to painting their planes in gay colors; and
when a red-cabined bird with bright yellow wings scars
up from a smooth green field, poises itself against the
blue sky and then scuds off to vanish in the haze over
the horizon-well, the onlooker has seen something as
fine as the twentieth century can furnish.
But it is not the airplane, after all, that really ap-
peals to the small boy. It Is the pilot.
The average airplane pilot, In fact, Is about as pre-
possessing a person as you will meet anywhere. He has
no swagger, no blatancy, no self-assertion, as so many
Of small boydom's idols have; instead he is generally
quiet, soft-spoken, reticcnt. even shy. But he has q look
in his eye and a set to his shoulders that are priceless.
In his daily work he leaves the earth behind him and
out-sails the birds. He trusts his life, every day, to his
own skill with a cool confidence He has a magnificent
skill and a courage so calm that it usually goes unnoticed.
Was there ever a person more made to order for the
day-dreams Of adventurous boys? II this mechanical
age has done nothing else, 1t has at least given the small
boy an idol that is worthy of him.

First Peace Zen Greets London

INV = NVNN ANR M
The wide extent Of dissipation of war hatreds was
~strikingly exemplified in the recent flight over London
Of the Graf Zeppelin dirigible. The short memory with
which most mortals are endowed is getting in its work
in England as far as war emotions survive. Londoners
no longer react to the big airships from Germany as they
did in the latter part of the great world conflict.
It SO happened that the Graf Zeppelin appeared over
London on the anniversary Of the very worst Of the
many Zeppelin raids that London experienced during
the war.
Furthermore. the Graf Zeppelin was the first German
airship to fly over the British capital since the war.
The English had not seen a Zeppelin for nearly IL
years: and the last ones they had seen had given them
death and destruction. Those Zeppelin raids were dread
full things. Twelve years are not q very long time. The
Londoners surely could have been forgiven il they had
greeted the Graf Zeppelin with a stony. hostile silence.
But they didn't. They cheered. They were glad to
see it. Not one spark Of the old ennity flared up into
flame.
Peoples memories, after all, are rather short; and
let it be repeated-it is a good thing for all of us that
this is so.
Human stupidity, greed and jealousy have brought
some terrible troubles down on humanity's head. Wars,
revolutions. riots and invasions dot the pages of history
pretty thickly, right from the beginning. Men do fright
full things to one another every now and then.
But they don't remember them long. Hence they are
able to make up afterward.
Perhaps you can remember the feeling of war days
Germany was to be an ~"outcast" nation f~orevermore
Business men were agreeing never. never to trade with
Germans again. The misery and tragedy Of the World
war were to be held against Germany forever.
Somehow all Of those dire threats have broken down.
fortunately We are rapidly working our way back to-
ward friendship. A German Zeppelin can fly over Lon
don and receive cheers instead Of bullets.
No matter how badly they are hurt. people will always
forget about it sooner than you would think.
There wouldn't be much hope Of progress II this were
not so.

called, almost constantly In the mid
die Of my forehead and nose. 1t dries
and scales Oft like dandruff. Some
times my nose ito mel feels and looks
like q horned toad. Would appreci-
ate 1t very much II you would suggest
q remedy"
Answer: This is the first time I
have heard acne called q complex"
However, pimples or other skin blem.
ishes may lead to worry and certain
distressing mental conditions. I have
found that all types Of acne seem to
respond well to an acid fruit fast,
using no food other than apples or
oranges, etc.
Had Combinations
Question: P. B. writes: Il have
been eating for supper one-fourth Of
q pound Of cottage cheese. one gill Of
cream. one glass Of Jersey milk and
. half dozen graham crackers made
with honey. Do you regard this as a
good meal for an office man who has
h~yperacidity and nor or less trouble
with nervous indigestion?"
Answer: I would not advise the
meal you inquire about for anyone
suffering with stomach trouble or
nervousness. The combination Of
crackers and milk Is not q good one.
as crackers contain starch. and milk
Is q protein. You will probably be
able to overcome the hyperacid con-
dition Of your stomach by learning
to use the proper food combinations.
I will be glad to send you my article
on food combinations II you will send
me your name and address on a large

What could be happening there!
What had the Lamont woman want
ed Of Alan? She knew too little Of
Bernadine and the interior Of her
house to follow Alan there in
thought. She could not geo the wor-

had sent him to bed early. He was

was compelled to do It, ,Bsrnadins
had felt guilty over her Indulgence.
but how could she send him to bed
before 1t was time for her to 20 to

was her life. Then she heard some
one say that sleep Is slsep-and 1t
was rather nice to have Bobby re-

he ran in to wake her. He might
60 away again after they'd had .

And she needed sleep. That was

forever telling her. Just n though

hadn't gone since he came an hour
