Chicago's Plight

Big Bill Thompsons administration is holding up
Chicago as a horrible example Of how cities should not
be governed. Unless some means can be found, Chicago's
departments OF government will fail to function.
The city owes $250, 100000 and has q daily interest debt
that Is staggering. Taxpayers have gone on q strike.
inequality of assessment, tax l~itigations and POLITICAL
reasons have prevented the payment Of taxes and spec
ial assessments. The whole tax structure Of Chicago Is
in a tangle. which probably only the courts or the legis-
lature can %straighten out. In the meantime, the schools
may close and the city is threatened with other drastic
stepc to solve Chicagos greatest crisis.
The alliance between crime and politics. fayoritism as
between certain groups Of citizens and the general mis-.
management Of Thompson are responsible for the present
jmpasse.
OF course a solution will be found In time. but Chi
cagois experience should deter other cities from embark
Ing upon an orgy OF spending.
Potentially Chicago can meet every obligation levied
against the city, but her citizens will not pay until there
IS equality Of assessments and the abolition OF rank
1avoritism.
This all should mean the final exit of Big Bill from the
arena Of Chicago politics.
But It Is surprising what forces are at work to keep in
office the kind Of government which spends prodieally
tax funds and keeps multitudes Of ta~x-eaters upon its
pay rolls.
Thornpson's future and the manner in which Chicago
extricates herself from the present predicament viii be
watched with interest the nation over.

The treatment Is to first steam the
face to open the pores and soften the
fatty deposit. Then it should be
washed with mild soap and warm
water, after which the blackhead can
be gently pressed out. After this
treatment. cold water or ice should
be applied to close the pores.
One who Is chronically troubled
with blackheadS must avoid sugars
and fats until the condition has been
overcome. Great care must also be
taken to thoroughly wash the skin

the whole face may seem to be coated
with oil. The scalp also shows an
excess Of oil. One troubled with an
oily complexion should eat large
quantities Of vegetables and salads

The treatment for the face Is to

another. Wash very thoroughly with
warm water and soap. An oily skin
Is not harmed by excessive washing.
Oily or greasy cold creams should not
be used where there is excessive DILL
ness Of the skin. Always follow the
warm treatment with splashing cold
or ice water on the face.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Don't Worry

Question: Mrs. W. writes: zone Is
often given the advice, don't worry
Hon can one cure worry"
Answer: This Il always bad advice.
It Is the work Of the physician or
psychologist to suggest constructive
thinking to the patient, and to avoid
al negative suggestions. When one
learns how to do constructive think
ing. worry will disappear like the mist
before the morning sun.
(Chlorinated Water)
Question: j. q. asks: Does the
continued use Of chlorinated hard
water Cor drinking purposes tend to
harden the arteries? Also, Is it in
furious to the eyes?"
Answer: Health authorities all over
the country have studied carefully
the effect upon the body Of chlori-
mated water, both as to its use intern
ally and externally. The amount OF
minerals put into the water to chlor-
mate 1t Is carefully estimated with
an idea Of avoiding any danger to
the body. The only water which
Is supposed to be chlorinated is that
which has an excess Of bacteria or
organic life which might be injurious
to the human system. Therefore,
chlorinated water should be better
than the same water which has not
been treated. Il you wish absolutely
pure water you must use water which
has been distilled.
