mo Kid Gloves i'm Condition

Of soap remain In 1t. When wash kid
or kidskin gloves are sti6 it Is probably
because all the soap has been rinsed
out. The gloves can be taken off the
hands during the washing or rinsine.
Squeeze the water from the gloves so
that they do not drip, and put them on,
should they have been removed from
the hands. It is now that there must
be care to insure seams being straight
and q good fit continuing or poor
one manipulated to form good one.
The thumb, finger and side seams must
be kept straight and in their original
positions. Wrists must be pulled even
and kept snug to the arm by gentle
pressure. Force the kid down between
the fingers as far as the hand Will per-
init. Be sure not to have finger tips
extend beyond fingers. Fasten the
gloves should there be clasps
II the gloves are too small open ana

wet and well fitted to the hands.
Stretch backs and palms should these

Bend the fingers back and forth ana
double the hands into fists. When the
gloves are sufficiently loose turn wrists
back over the hands and take the gloves
fingers but push them gently down on
the wrong side until they will slip OIL
easily. Turn the gloves right side out
with equal deftness, lest they lose the
shape which has required so much care
to make right.
Gloves which are too large should be
fitted according to directions given
above. When the gloves have been
fitted cautiously to prevent stretching
press them into position on the hands
SO that the kid is snug against the
hands and wrists Do not bend fingers
nor form a fist of either hand. Remove

THAT BODY OF YOURS
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.

In iodine greatly increase the store Of
iodine in the gland. 1t Is also known
that the amount of iodine is least in
goitrous and greatest in normal thyroid
glands.
Fortunately the great majority of
gciters are not serious and consist of
simple enlargement Of the gland.
That taking iodine into the system
would prevent goiter was known to the
Chinese IS centuries BIC, as well as
to the Greeks and Romans.
While iodine is helpful in preventing
goiter and in curing some cases Of
simple goiter, 1t cannot or should not
be used in the severe or toxic form of
goiter, where it may produce serious
effects.
Persons who believe they are suffer-
ing from goiter should consult their
own doctor and be guided entirely by
his advice in the matter Of treatment
This information regarding goiter is
from the Department of Pensions and
National Health, Ottawa.

oplTlluallSIS.
Nearly every one is a spiritualist
more or less. If you lack or are un-
able to discover a consistent reason for
your universe, you are almost sure to
fall back on some one Of the myriad
forms of spiritualism. There never was
a time when the majority Of human
beings did not feel that there must be
something more enduring than the ac-
cumulated knowledge Of men.
There are, OF course, about aS many
kinds Of spiritualists in the world as
there are people. There Is, however,
enough agreement among large groups
to account for the rise and endurance
Of so many sorts Of faith and doctrines
A spiritualist, In the last analysis, is
one who seeks a lasting principle which
serves the purpose Of guiding thought
and action.
When one begins to count ones days,
one begins to look for something be-
yond the laws Of mere nature. This is
the attitude of the spiritualist.

L er At best this statement will
only hold good for the North
eastern United States; it is not more
gorgeous than California poppy or ava

even on its home ground it has to COM
pete with the purple skyrockets Of the
dry upland fields. But it is certainly
brilliant enough, with its scarlet great
spikes, to light up the dim, damp woods
where it delights to grow these days.
It is a bit rare in the District, due,
think, to the prosecutions of flower
lovers, and believe that the Wild
flower Preservation Society has recon-
mended 1t to our mercies.
I have forgotten whether they do as
much for that close relative Of the
cardinal flower, the great lobelia, which
is as blue as the cardinal flower is red.

Ga Influenza Cases
In County Reported
To Health Officer
DIR. V. l.. EllicOtt Stresses
Necessity Of Preventing
General Epidemic

DIR. v. L. Ellicott, county health
officer, is issuing warning against
a general epidemic of influenza and
stressed the fact that persons suf-
fering from bad colds should avoid
gatherings and otherwise take care Of
themselves and others. A total of 81
cases of flu has been reported to the
health department at Rockville.
The statement of the health officer
follows:
"Sixty-four cases of influenza have
been reported to the County Health
Department during the past week.
This number shows that influenza is
present in the County in epidemic
form. Cases of the disease differ wide
ly in symptoms, some appearing as
severe colds and others in the form of
general illness with prostration. The
increase in pneumonia cases which
usually accompanies influenza epidem-
les is occurring though only a few
deaths have occurred so far.
"It is important to bear in mind
the sad experience of 1918 in which it
was demonstrated that rest in bed was
the all important measure in prevent
ing the influenza case from passing
on to a pneumonia case. One of the
principal characteristics of influenza
is its tendency to render the individ-
ual highly susceptible to pneumonia.
This is true for several days after
the patient has apparently recovered
from influenza. 1t is, therefore, par
ticularly important to avoid exposure
to the weather and fatigue after re-
covery from influenza.

Fireman Hurt AS

General Store OF S. Creighton
Jones Is Damaged To Extent
OF $4,000


One volunteer fireman was injured
and five miraculously escaped harm
Tuesday morning when a Gathers
burg Washington Grove Volunteer
Fire Department truck overturned ON
the way to blaze which caused $24,-
900 damage to the general store of
5. Creighton Jones, at Dickerson.
The fireman, Kenneth Miller, 10,
said to be new at the game of fire.
fighting, is reported not seriously hurt
at the Montgomery County General
Hospital. His face and body were
lacerated.
The wheels of the Gaithersburg
engine skidded in the soft mud at the
side Of the road and turned over.
Miller was thrown through the wind
shield while five other fremen were
thrown clear and escaped injury. The
engine was practically demolished,
Chief M. T, Jacobs reported.
Miller was taken to the hospital by
the Rockville department rescue
squad, which arrived on the scene a
few minutes later and gave first aid.
The fire in the store was discovered
by Morris Chiswell, the son of the
buildings owner, Lawrence Chiswell,
supervisor of assessments for Mont
gomery County. The younger Chiswell
called the Rockville and Gaithersburg
fire departments.
Upon the arrival at the fire, the
firemen encountered further difficult
ty. There was no water and the store
practically was demolished before the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad could send
a locomotive and tender from 18 miles
away to the scene. When the water
tender arrived, the fire companies
hooked up the water tank and began
throwing water on the building. This
was of little avail and they soon turn
ed to saving nearby residences.
The origin of the fire was not es-
tablished. Mr.. Jones estimated that
the stock destroyed was worth about
$4,000, while Mr.. Chiswell's store
was damaged about $4,000. The loss
was partially covered by insurance.

One Taxpayer Pleased
With County Finances

At least one Montgomery Coun-
ty taxpayer is satisfied with man.
agement of the county finances. In
a letter to Lacy Shaw, president of
the board of county commissioners,
J. G. Willier, of Rockville, express
ed himself as follows:
"Dear Mr.. Shaw: l followed with
much interest the proceedings of
the recent taxpayers meeting at
Gaithersburg, where you spoke on
the tax situation and so ably de-
tended the local government. We
all will grant that the taxes seem
high at present when considered in
the light of what the farmer can
get for his produce now. AS mat
ter Of fact, however, the taxes here
are relatively low when one con-
siders the splendid system of paw
ed highways and other advantages
which the people of this county are
enjoying.
II lived at Bethesda in 1920-25;
at Manhattan, Kans., 1857; at
Odebolt, Iowa, 1927-31 and at Rock
vile, Nd, 1882. At all four of these
places the properties l occupied
were all of approximately the same
value. My taxes were as follows:
Bethesda, SIS; Manhattan, $192;
Odebolt, ST.; and Rockville, $65.
The taxes are much higher in the
West than here, and the people out
there get much less for their tax
money than they do here.
"In my opinion the present Mont
gomery County government is be-
ing ably and efficiently administer
ed"

Maryland Farmers
Face Fair Outlook
For Coming Year
University Of Maryland Extern
sion Bureau Reports This Sec
tiOn Better Off Than West

Having called upon the University
Of tMaryland's extension service for
help IN greater numbers than ever be-
fore during the past year and increas-
ed their productive efficiency the farm
ers of Maryland face "very fair
outlook for 1888, in the opinion Of
Dr. L. B. Symons, head of the extern
sion services of the university.
I'VE are making rapid strides to-
ward better quality and more efficient
production, so should say that the
outlook is very fair" DIR. Symons de-
clared
An outstanding feature of the past
years agricultural history has been
the unprecedented demands of the
farmers for help from the extension
service, DR.. Simons said.
Generally our farmers have been in
better shape than those of the Middle
west; our farmers dollar has been
worth about rs per cent more.
Il do not think we should expect to
see return of conditions such as we
had in 1929. I look instead for a sta
billzation on a sort of pre-war basis.
We must maintain our standards of
living, however, by increased efficiency
and believe that can be done on
the farm. Maryland farmers and their
wives have been responding in a re-
markable fashion to the various pro-
grams offered to them for increased
efficiency.
In the last year more has been
done here in the direction Of co-opera-
tive marketing than had been accom-
plished in any single recent year. We
also have made good progress in get
ting the proprietors of Maryland's
$4,000 farms to keep books on their
operation and do cost accounting so
they may know what activities are
profitable and which incur losses,
With such evidence in the hands of the
farmers, further strides toward effic-
iency and higher quality of output
should be made"
The most outstanding development
In Maryland agriculture during the
Autumn, according to DR.. Symons was
the demand of poultrymen for blood
tests, culling and certifcation of their
hocks.
Blood tests were asked for more
than 10000 chickens, an increase of
300 per cent over previous years, ac-
cording to DIR. Symons. The director
explained that the tests are made to
eliminate hens with blood diseases
