tions as could be devised on the spur of the moment.
Ten years hence, probably, things will be different.
When the change does come, the American motorist
will very likely change his habits. Right now he gen.
orally tries to get where he is going as quickly as pos
sible, no matter how much time he has at his disposal.
He tears along through beautiful country at SO miles an
hour, wearing himself out and tossing lovely landscapes
over his shoulder without giving them q glance. Why?
Because of some innate restlessness? Possibly: but isn't
it more likely that the real reason is the lack Of any
good inducements for him to moderate his pace?
Once fix things so that he will encounter, every dozen
miles, a really attractive stopping place, pleasant to
look at, restfu] to enter and equipped with good food
and moderate price lists, and the motorist will stop
being a speed demon. He will take his time, see more OF
the country he traverss, rest his nrves and enjoy him
self much more than he does now. Leisure, In the old
sense, will come back.
This may be a long way off, but it is coming. The
present period is a time Of transition.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


Question: E. j. writes: II am a
young person, but my skin is so dry
I am ageing terribly. I use q great
deal Of cold cream, but I know it
must be some inward trouble. When
I wash my skin it hurts and burns
for some time after. I know OF
others you have helped, So please tell
me what to do"
Answer: Use plenty Of olive oil
with your meals, and increase the
amount of butter and cream you are
using. A temporary treatment which
will help is to rub the entire bvdy
each day with cocoa-butte1, using
only q small amount, but rubbing it
well into the pores.
Stale Bread
Question: A. M. asks: rs stale
bread more easily digested than
fresh? l. so, why?"
Answer: The reason stale bread Is
digested more readily than fresh is
because it requires thorough .nasti-
cation and insalivation due to its
dryness. There is no less starch in
stale bread, however, and If M is

food it Is best to toast the bread
completely through in order to dex-
trinize every particle.
Blind Boil
Question: r. G. writes: Il have a
blind boil that has bothered me for
about four months and will not heal.
Have consulted physicians. but with
no good results. Would be greatly
obliged for your advice, as I am be-
ginning to be much worried"
Answer: Your blood is nc doubt in
q very toxic cond.i.on or the boil
would nave healed before this time.
Correct your diet and keep your in
testines free from accumulated pol
sons, and I am sure you will find
that this blind boil will oon heal
naturally without any local treat
ment.

DISEASES
ricketts,

The name "rickets" is taken from
the old English word ~"wrickken,"
meaning to twist. because this dis
case twists the bones Of the growing
child out of shape. The legs become
curved, the head too large, the chest
is narrowed, and the bones do not
harden properly.
Ricketts, is marked by the malnutri-
ton Of the whole body as well as
deformity of the bone, and q pot
belly is usually present.
Ricketts, is. disease most noticed in
the very young, and attacks children
who. are shut away from the sunlight
and who are fed food deficient III
vitamin A. More babies develop 1t
during winter than in summer. There
may be a soreness Of the entire body,
with a loose skin, weak muscles and
an enlarged liver.
A child suffering from this disorder
should be given sunbaths daily and
the food must be guarded carefully.
Starchy foods are not needed but raw
milk with the cream alternating with
periods Of raw egg yolk mixed with
orange juice is very good, also about
a level tablespoon Of the juice OF
grated raw carrots daily.
Short frequent sunbaths r the
best way to keep your baby from de-
veloping this trouble.
Scurvy
Sailors on long voyages, p~rospectors
in the far north, ard armies on the
march may suffer from scurvy, q dis
ease in which there may be great
weakness. The gums become spongy
and soften, and the teeth fall out.
While this disease has been known
from the earliest times, . knowledge
Of the cure of it is fairly recent. The
use of plenty Of foods containing VI
tamin G is the most efficient remedy
and preventive.
This disease has fortunately almost
disappeared from adults who live In
civilized communities where food Is
abundant, but it Is unfortunately too
often found. in babies.
A form of infantile scurvy may be
found in infants who are taking COLI
densed or matted milk, or boiled milk
without the addition Of other SUBJ
stances containing vitamin G.
This disease causes severe pains in
the baby's limbs which appear serni-
paralyzed, and the child does not wish
to be touched or moved.
It is q good plan to change the diet
to raw certified milk with alternating
feelings Of orange, lime or tomato
juice.
Such disorders will never develop
when the proper diet is used and it
is the doctors duty to see that the

Today Is the
Anniversary OF
T + OF HASTINGS

On Oct. IA, 1906, the conquest Of
England was auspiciously begun
when the Normans, under William,
Duke of Normandy, defeated the
English, under King Harold, at the
Battle of Hastings.
Duke william claimed that Harold
had agreed to support his claim to
the English crown on the death of
Edward the Confessor, and, when this
was not done, William began prepar-
atoms to wrest the crown from Har-
old by force.
Harold had just conquered his
brother and rival. Tostig, at SIAM
ford Bridge, and when he heard that
the Normans were ravaging the south
he Immediately fastened in that di-
rection. The Norman army was di-
vided into three parts, the center be-
ing led by Duke william in person.

Spelling the Scenery

The automobile touring season of 1880 is Just about
over; and If you asked the average tourist for his chief
impression. of the scenery along his vacation drive
the chances are that he would mention the great ma
tional eczema of advertising signs along the highways.
Looking back over a summer spent largely on the high
ways, one recalls these s~ignboards in a dizzy, ever
multiplying panorama. They make the approaches to
our cities hideous and they mar ones enjoyment Of quiet
country roads; they intrude upon pleasant vstas of in
land lakes, they dot the white-fringed seashore and they
plant themselves at the feet of lofty, snow-tipped noun
tains; and the long -suffering American continues to en-
dure them without a protest.
A recen issue Of the Roadside Bulletin, a little magazine
published by the American Nature association. contains
a series of pictures of roadside advertising signs. and
the series is enough to make the reader doubt the collec-
tive sanity of the American public.
With a magnificent continent crisscrossed by excel
lent roads. and with the entire population on wheels
ready to go out and enjoy these roads, we permit COM
mercial interests to mar the scenery, desecrate the open
country and inflict monotonous ugliness on us from one
seacoast to the other.
A number of states have tried to remedy matters by
law: but the law, In this case, is rather ineffective. You
can prohibit the erection of signs on the highway itself,
and you can keep them from being placed in the vicinity
of railroad grade crossings-but that is about all. You
cannot keep a needy farmer from renting a vacant lot
to some over-zealous advertiser. You cannot keep a man
from smearing an ugly sign across the side of his barn.
You cannot keep the owner of some dilapidated eyesore
of an abandoned grain elvator or rundown factory from
~plastering 1t with screaming posters.
Why do we put up with it, anyway? Is there some-
thing radically wrong with our aesthetic sense, that we
permit these signboards to litter our countryside in
such profusionP No country on earth offers its motor.
lists such a lovely variety of tours to choose from; and
no country permits its tours to be spoiled as we permit
the billboard, the hot-dog stand and the filling station
to spoil ours.
The remedy, of course. lies not in law but in an aroused
public opinion. The problem really could be disposed of
quite easily. If Americans generally would vow not to
buy of advertisers who deface the landscape with bill
boards, the nuisance would die overnight.

The Revival of the Inn

In the old days. when people who had some travelling
to do climbed into enormous. slow-movng stage coaches
and moved along with genteel grandeur. the roadsides
were dotted with inns and taverns, which provided food,
shelter and a picturesque and enticing charm. Then
the railroads came, people got to their journeys end in
quicker style. and the inn went the way OF all out-moded
institutions. But now it seems to be coming back.
Old institutions are seldom restored Just as they were,
however. and the roadside inn is no exception. It is
returning to us in q form that is convenient and often
very comfortable. but never in the least picturesque. It's
~signboard. instead of being a gaily painted boars head
or . & staggering pirate, is a neatly lettered Tourists

With tin advertisements Of chewing gum, cigarets and

All OF this is rather a disappointment. The develop
ment OF the automobile has put travellers back on the
open road once more, in a manner quite as pleasant
once you get used to it-as the legendary stage coach:
but the overnight accommodations offered now are
literally less attractive than those OF a century ago

ONE didn't take stories like this

The Road Is There

More Improvement than in any recent month is re-
Elected in the October trade survey Of Credit Monthly"
publication of the National Association Of Credit Men.
The improvement applies to both sales and collections Of
wholesale and manufacturing firms in the 100 cities COW
cred.
Seven cities reported sales brisk, 66 reported them fair
and q slow. Two cities moved from the fair" column
to good during the month, and IL shifted from the
SLOW classification to fair"
The cities reporting brisk sales were Milwaukee. Wis:
Tampa, Fla: Austin, Tex: and Dies Moines. Ottumwa,
Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa.
Three cities reported collections good, whereas only one
city reported good collections a month ago. These cities
were Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Austin, Tex: and Huntington,
w. Va. Sixty-four other cities reported collections fair,
while 80 reported them slow. Fifteen cities reported an
improvement in collections during the month, moving
from the SLOW column to "fair."
No classes have their fingers closer to the public pulse
than credit men and statesmen. The former have the job
