During the summer season many
people suffer from earache after
swimming Dire to water which may
enter the ear, carrying with It irri-
tating PARTICLES OF bacteria. Water
usually runs out of a healthy ear,
causing only a temporary disturbance
which may be corrected by holding
the head to one side, but people with
a Great deal Of wax in the ear may
find that water causes the wax to
swell, causing irritation and inflam-
nation because Of the enlargement.
The most serious a trouble Of this
type occurs with patients who at one
time or another have had the ear
drum perforated. With most people,
a little water in the ear causes no
damage because it cannot enter the
middle a since the ear drum
stretches clear across the external
canal Of the ear, but with those who
have had this membrane ruptured,
there is a possibility Of the water
flowing through the old break into
the middle a where it may carry
infective material and cause a seri-
Gus Inflammation.
Those who are troubled with ear
ache after swimming would do well
to purchase a shoppers of rubber
which can be inserted into the ears.
This type of protection while SWIM
ming will often prevent earaches to
those who are susceptible.
Sometimes water is forced through
the mouth and throat into the eusta-
chan tube up into the inner ear.
This can be avoided If you will never
blow your nose strenuously just after
swimming.
An earache in either e child or adult
should never be neglected as this often
leads to partial deafness. The ache
is usually due to acute inflammation
Of the middle ar. The pain is some
times severe. In children, the ache
may be due to a foreign object, such
as a pea or insect, or to a boil, in the
external ear canal.
In adults, the most frequent cause
Of earache is catarrhal inflammation
extending from the throat along the
eustachian tube which enters the
middle ear. When the canal becomes
closed by the Inflammation, the pus
and mucus collect in the middle ear,
causing sharp pain, tenderness and
sometimes throbbing with a tenn
porary deafness.
When an earache occurs in infants
it is often accompanied by a high
temperature. Earaches are usually
wors at night. They may compli-
cate scarlet fever, influenza, measles
and tonsilitis. In the latter case,
swallowing brings a swift stab of pain
shooting through the ear. The

Today Is the
Anniversary of
THE DEFEAT

On Aug. 8, 1888, the Spanish Ar
mazda, a powerful fleet equipped by
Philip II of Spain for the conquest
of England, was completely destroyed
off Gravelines, England, by the
British fleet.
Philips purpose in sending the Ar.
mazda was three-fold: to suppress
English Professionalism, to stop Eng
lish piracy in South America, and to
prevent English. aid from reaching
the rebellious Netherlanders.
The fleet itself, which consisted OF
131 vessels, was considerably weak
ened by storms on its trip from Lis
bon to England. Only 70 could ac-
tually be used in an engagement
The main English fleet, consisting OF
80 much smaller vessels, were all
available for action.

Childish Diversions

These juvenile tree-sitters who have been making min

have at least performed one service for us; they have
brought the endurance contest down to its proper level
An airplane endurance contest is not so bad; but the
other forms INDUCED in by adults who ought to know bet

dancers, egg-eaters and the rest-they could only come
to blossom in a country that was extremely tolerant OF
Stiffness.
Now the kids have shown us what these contests really
are. They are diversions for children. The boys who are
sitting IN trees are acting naturally, for small boys-and
are proving, at the same time, that the grownups who do
the same sort OF thing are really Of about the same men

dience with its resulting productivity.
1t u hard to realize that anyone can hold such d bar
baric picture Of us. It does more than make us angry at
the manner in which we have been misrepresented. It
awakens us to the background of cruelty and suffering
which men must have in order to even harbor such an
atrocious thought for q moment.
It indicates that a very small valuation must be put
on human life, in a land where such a story can gain
credence.
We, in America, value life at a high premium. For
centuries our wisest men have been working, trying to dis
cover ways Of adding years to life, and also Of adding
life to years.

the peasants were bound behind their backs. Behind

Question: Mrs. L. o. H. asks: IT
there are only two kinds of anemia-
primary and secondary-under which
head would you place simple anemia?"
Answer: The term simple anemia"
is often given by physicians to what
could more properly be called Sec
ondary anemia, which simply means
That the anemia is secondary to some
other disorder which is more i'm
portant, and the cause of the anenia.
Calcium
Question: Mrs. M. F. writes: "One
time a doctor explained to me that
we osSify with too much calcium and.
together with deterioration of the
tissues, gradually come to our ends,
some more speedily than others. But as
we must have calcium to live, is there
not some way to gauge the amount ir
order to avoid this Justification proc
esq"
l.. Answer: The o~ssification from
calcium is not due 50 much from
calcium in the food as in the inability
to eliminate it. Its deposits in the
tissues is usually caused by chronic
irritation from toxins. Other changes
taking place in the body are an in
crease Of the intercellular substances
and a degeneration Of the ductless
glands. These symptoms can be
avoided to G. great extent by the use
OF large quantities of .non-starchy
vegetables, fruits and distilled water
in the diet, and avoiding the use Of
foods made from cereals. The sodium
in foods assists in keeping calcium
soluble so that 1t is not as likely to
form deposits in the body. I am
sending you an article called Food
Minerals" which tells you which foods
contain the various minerals, etc.
Butter and Constipation
Question: Mrs. H. b. asks: "Will
you please tell me If butter Is consti-
pating?"
Answer: Butter, being one of the
fatty foods, has q tendency to pro-
duce bowel movement, due to its
lubricating effects.

Nobody in the United States has any money in these
Hoover times, so why expect ~buyers?" wrote a Herald
correspondent the other day. Something along the same
line is heard so often that many people believe It. But
1t doesn't square with the facts. There is, money and
lots Of it for SOM things.
On Monday OF this week a number of American indus
tries published their financial statements for the first
half Of this year. Here's a half dozen taken from the
financial pages Of The Herald: -
Net profits Of the Phillips Petroleum company
for the first six months of this year amounted
to $l0,220,525, as compared with $6,510,807 in 1929,
q gain Of $~l,689.7l8.
Earnings Of the Publix Paramount corporation
for the first six months Of 1880 were the largest
solidated net profit is estimated at $8,434y00O as
compared with $5,l30O00 in the first half Of the
previous year.
The Coca-Cola company reports for the six
months ending June 80, 1880, a profit of $7,l81 ,812
against $6.4ele64 for the corresponding period
last year.
The Hershey Chocolate corporation reports a
net profit for the first half Of 1890 Of $4,253,714
against $4,224y $50 for the first six months in 1929.
The Continental Oil COMPANY. Delaware. re-
ports its profits for the first half of 1880 at ST.
643,820 against $~2,200.526 for the first six months
last year.
The Loose wiles Biscuit company for the year
ending June 80, 1880. reports a net profit of ST.
553,1l5 compared with $2,333, 682 for the previous
year.
This list, Of course, covers only a limited group, but
it indicates that the American people are still at

drinks, and that they have the money to pay for them

and made her own, 80 that it was
now second nature.
OF her emotions Judy was ever a
sp%endthrift, but of the energy neces.
sary for her work, at this time Of
her life, she was q veritahle miser.
She showed no inclination to en-.
large or improve her style of living.
She stayed in her two modest, ia,
miliar rooms. She did not launch
forth into clothes and hats: she
never took a cab unless 1t was to 60
to the theater. She ate and drank
as sparingly as ever. But for her
work, she seemed to be in q state
Of suspended animation.
Thus passed a whole month, and
Judy had refused all Gideon's invi.
tations, as well as those Of various
people quite unknown to her who
had suddenly desired her acquaint-
ance. It rather amused her. They
were very smart people, some of
them. Ladies deluged her with re-
quests to dance for charity. Men
Of high rank begged her company
at supper: but all to no purpose.
Judy had placed herself entirely in
Mr.. Wyon's hands, and his advice
was to keep herself entirely to her.

On one occasion Mr.. Wyon rather
astonished her by asking her a per-
sonaf question. They were in his
rooms at the theater, and she had
just shown him a copy. Of her cor.

pronounced 1t to be most satisfac-
