GASOLINE FOR FOOT ITCH

There are I don't know how many fancy and fatterng names for plain itch or scabies. We're funny that way. We never like to call dis ease illness by it's actual name, when it occurs at our house. If of the family goes daffy we much prefer to say he has nervous break down something. If somebody develops tub- erculosis he is merely run down from overwork If Aunt Maria Uncle John catches the itch it is always uric acid trouble or very busy ana exclusive brand of hives.
 Take this almost universal foot itch that men, women and children contract when they walk barefoot anywhere that others have walked barefoot recently Some big nostrum maker, taking his from the success of the chap who invented the fattering name for foul breath. almost popularized this ringworm infestation by promoting the idea that it is quite the rage among the bon ton. So now athietes foot IS as popular as athletic underwear. More than half of all college students have ringworm of the feet Probably they contract it running about in gym swimming pool barefoot. In some swimming pools they are now using a special disinfectant foot bath and this is so placed that every individual must step in it for moment on his way to and rom the uressihI Or locker room.
 The parasite responsible for this foot itch Is a kind of fungus. Sometimes it is difficult to de- stroy in the skin without excessive injury 10 the skin. :. An engineer who suffered long with 1t tells me he finally cured it by placing his feet in wa think he said 115 degrees F. Few VIII endure more than no degrees even for few moments. Probably 115 degrees or higher is bit too much for the ringworm fungus to survive.

AN AvoIDABLE WAR?
(Hartford Times)


 { George Fort Milton. who Is the editor of a newspaper in Chatta- nooga, Tennessee, and who became nationally known principally as the spokesman for William G. McAdoo as a presidential candidate, declares that the Civil war could have been postponed and possibly altogether averted" by the election of stephen A. Douglas to the presidency rather than Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Newly discovered letters by Douglas furnish the ground for his conclu- sion. MT Milton planes James Buchanan, retiring president for the democratic disruption of 1860 which made possible Lincoln's election. Of course, no one is wise enoug \ to say positively that the war coulgl have been averted or even posi . poned. It may naturally be asumn c that the southern states which 3e' ceded after Lincoln was elected vet.J likely would have withheld that ac' tion had Douglas been chosen. Horv' ever, Lincoln was right when he so ic the union could not exist half-slttvt and half-free. The slavery iS sut would have had to be settled de fin itely and right in the end. whet hel | by peaceable means or forcible q nes As for Buchanan's part in Lin coln's election, 1t need be said onl! | that Buchanan has been blamefl fol a great deal and it is possible fol that considerable responsibility rest upon him for splitting the dEmoc Tacy in 1860 to Lincoln's pdlitica I profit.
 The Times is particularly ini crest ed in MT Milton's conclusion. Tor m theory that the war was avtidabl' coincides with the view of ule dis tinguished editor of this pape whil, the war was being fought. Al fred E

Toast And Toast

It is reported that hot words are flying about in England over the subject of toast. Electric coasters. almost universally used in America, are just awakening interest abroad. Some Englishman has said that the modern electric coasters turn out product not nearly SO good as old-fashioned toast made over gas fire or over an open fire of charcoal or coal. Now, toaster and non-toaster advocates are speaking their minds fully and vigorously.
 An American might rise to ask what the English know about toast anyhow. and then the discussion would become international. Americans never cease to wonder at the little racks on which English toast is served, and the fact that no effort is made to keep it piping hot until butttered. All of which see11s to indicate that toast is matter of national habit and personal taste for which no uni form rules may be set forth. It is odd that the vogue for "melba toast baked several
 hours in slow oven - has developed so strongly in the era of speedy electric coasters.

In the face of wage cuts by the
big steel companies and other bell
wethers in the employment field,
President Hoover authorized the
announcement that his anxiety
to maintain standards of living in
this country has been consistent
and unaltered." Since the brief
statement made no mention of
wage reduction or their possible
effect on the standard of living, it
was regarded as designed primar-
lily to refute reports that the Pres
ident finally had relaxed his stand
against lowered pay levels for la
boring classes,
In a formal statement, which
was threaded with a note of bit
terness and disappointment, Will
liam Green, president of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, speak
ing to that organization denounced
the wage cuts of the United States
Steel Corporation, and other big
corporations as morally wrong and
economically unsound. Mr.. Green
construed the action of these COR
porations as a blow to the efforts
to bring back prosperity. In the
course of his statement, Mr..
Green said the corporations that
had cut wages chad subjected
themselves to the charge of having
broken solemn pledge to Presi-
dent Hoover to maintain wages,
and by their action have contri-
buted to the development of So
cial unrest and industrial discon-
