ternoon, something OF ritual might
have been observed in progress in the
quiet. somnolent, crypt like library
which houses the fabulously valuable
book collection Of J. Pierpont Nor

In keeping with holiday custom Of
many years standing, certain trusted
Librarians went to certain niche and

the great money king sends for this
classic and meets again Tiny Tim and
all his associates. The touching story
is read at least once to the grandchil-
dren and children and, I am told, re-
read in the silence of a study.
There are, one hears, hundreds Of
manuscripts which Morgan owns but
rarely sees: buying them as a collec-
tor Of originals and first editions,
rather than as q reader. But the
Dickens pages are never overlooked.

BORIC ACID AS HOUSEHOLD
ANTTSEPTIC

A correspondent says he has been
using ear drops as suggested in this
column "a few drops OF a solution OF
10 grains OF boric acid to the ounce
Of pure grain alcohol, put IN the ear
once or twice daily, for chronic .un-
ming earl and he derives much bene-
fit from it, Many correspondents
have testified to cure Of chronic run
ming ear by this remedy. don't
know about cure, but anyway 1t IS
harmless to try it out for, say,
month. If your druggist seems diff
dent about putting up the solution
without prescription for the alco-
hol, that's too bad. Nothing I can
do about it, except to warn you
against using anything but pure
grain alcohol.
The correspondent says that lately
he has been using boric acid solution,
in the proportion of tablespoonful
Of boric acid to the pint of water,
to syringe his throat and nose, what
ever that may mean. But his wife
thinks it is dangerous to use Dor1c
acid in the nose or throat. as she has
heard it is poisonous. But the way
ward boy keeps on using it IN the be-
lief it may serve as a preventive
against catching cri-
Oh, no, of course the man didn't
use the term cri. I just insinuated
that for propaganda purposes. What
he actually said is that he uses boric
acid solution in the belief that 1t may
serve as a preventive against CATCH
ing diseases that enter via the nose
or throat. I, in my queer way. group
such diseases as common respiratory
infections, or designate any or all OF
them as CRI for short. But don't
get FESTIVE, dumb folks. You may go
right on, in your gentle bovine way,
calling cri cold" for all care. But
you can't call it that when you speak
TO me- l wouldn't know what you're
talking about, and neither would you.
Whether the use OF a nose spray, or
gargle. or mouthWash, or irrigation OF
boric acid solution is Of any value IN
preventing respiratory infections I
don't know, but if any antiseptic me-
dicament is effective in that way, I
believe boric acid is the best agent
We have for the purpose. Indeed.
boric acid is the essential, If not the
only real antiseptic ingredient OF
many fancy preparation which is
highly cxtolled for this purpose.
The strength of the solution for
spraying the nasal passages or for
gargling or mouthwashing should be
rounded or heaping teaspoonful of
boric acid to the pint of boiled wa
ter. The same solution, by the way
is satisfactory as an eye wash or for
eye drops.
Always have the solution lukewarm
or about the warmth OF the body,
especially when using it in the nose
or in the eye Be sure the water has
boiled at least s minutes. Tap water
is all right, but distilled water or
snow water is better.
II swallowed in large quantity boric
acid Is somewhat poisonous, but not
in the amount one uses in gargle
or spray or mOuthwash. No harm if
some Of it is accidentally swallowed.
Another Of my notions Is that boric
acid is particularly cfficacious against
the Pneumococcus.

j. s. RELIEF BILL
TOA|DSTATES
HELD UNFAIR

A wave Of protest swept Con-
greSs today because Of the alleged
unfairness Of the basis on which
Federal funds will be given to
States for distress relief. The pro-
tests followed publication Of the
manner in which such money will
be distributed.
Under the relief bill passed by
the House last week, States will
receive as gifts one dollar for
each State dollar Of public
moneys" spent for relief during
the preceding quarter.
This means that relief loans
from the R. F. c. may be added
to the public moneys" spent
within any State during January,
February and March Of this year.
Those States which have been
able to take care Of their own
unemployed and hungry are thus
penalized under the wording of
the measure.
Representative Howard ID of
Nebraska, whose State is one
which has struggled to carry it's
own relief burden, and has re-
ceived no r. F. C. funds, said:
81 am at a loss to under
stand why the bill should be
put through that way. 1t dis
eliminates against. States that
have been trying to carry their
own relief burdens. The result
is that States which have bOr-
rOwed now are given q great
advantage over those that have
not. Even State contributions
In Nebraska have been small,
most of the distress having
been handled through private
contributions"
