I M Told U have a paint that re-
moves corns. (R. w. P.)
Answer-The best remedy, think
is salicylated collodion-30 grains OF
salicylic acid dissolved In half an
ounce Of flexible collodion. Paint the
corn or callus (never bunion) with
a coating of this once daily, and af-
ter week or so 1t will soften and
you can easily wipe it away. Be care
full to keep the vial tightly stoppered
and to keep the collodion off from
the neck of vial.
Please advise whether there is a
fever that person can get from eat
ing rabbit meat, and if so, how to pre-
vent it. &C. P. o. ~
Answer-Not if the meat Is thor
oughly cooked. Tularemia is a grave
infection which SINNERS, or persons
who prepare or handle the meat may
contract, through some scratch or
puncture of fingers. Only wild rab-
bits, not domestic rabbits, are subject
to the disease. Such handlers Of
game should wear heavy cotton
gloves, and carefully wash and treat
any slight wounds or scratches i'm

Commodity Money Coming

Although there has been nothing
recently to indicate it, there is every
evidence that the United States soon
will adopt the commodity money
proposal long advocated by Professor
Irving Fischer of Yale and many
other economists.
The argument for it is that it will
maintain the purchasing power Of
the dollar at par to be determined
by the prices of standard commodi-
ties. Fischer has some 800 listed, all
weighted" as to their Importance, to
serve as a measuring stick for the
purchasing power of money.
The weighing process is neces-
sary because, for example, wheat
plays a far more important part in
our scheme of things than does
grapefruit. cotton is more important
than silk.
It is an experiment In monetary
management never before attempted
but that can hardly be urged as an
argument against 1t. AS society be-
comes more and more complicated
new methods become necessary to
keep it in adjustment.
The only question now appears to
be when this nation shall officially
adopt the commodity money system.
Indications are that we shall try it
at about the time prices reach the
level Of 1926.
The best proof of intention is con-
tanned in the presidents money mes
sage to the economic conference at
London in which he said:
Let me be frank in saying
that the United States of Amer
lea seeks the kind Of dollar
which, a generation hence, will
have the same purchasing and
debt paying power as the dollar
value we hope to obtain in the
near future"
Therein he touches upon one of
the main arguments against the gold
standard, mentions, almost in so
many words, the commodity money
idea.

and, in my opinion, the after effec:
is rather soothing. At least it seems
that way when I touch a sensitive
canker sore in my mouth with tine
ture Of iodin and glycerin, half and
half, once day-which I think is
good treatment for these annoying
canker sores. At any rate the burn
ing sensation one feels when tincture
Of iodin IS poured or swabbed or
painted on a raw surface lasts only
few moments.
Another reason Tony and are
partial to the iodin vial is that we
each take nip of iodin, about a
drop in a good drink of water every
week or SO, to keep us from getting
old too young. So the same vial
that insures us good first aid disin-
lection of our wounds, bites, scratches
and abrasions, also keeps us cheerful
in spite Of all the other dogs and
docs.

ford. whom he claims he married
in England during the war. At
Mrs. Lorrimer's request, Mary
Lou assumes the role of Delight.
Complications arise when. after
months of happy companionship,
Travers insists upon knowing if
Mary Lou loves him. She realizes
she cannot go on acting. for she
has grown to care. At the crucial
moment Larry Mitchell. Mary
Louis newspaper reporter friend,
locates the real Delight acting in Z

Mary Lou, hopes that Delight is
not Travers' wife and that she
will return to England. After a
sleepless night Mary Lou visits
Delight. She finds her hardened
by life and misfortune. Mary Lou
breaches the subject of Delights
marriage. Delight no longer loves
Travers, whom she thought dead.
She surmises that Mary Lou loves
Travers. Mary Lou asks Delight
to give her week in which to
persuade Mrs. Lorrimer to see her.

CHAPTER XVII.

TT, when the stipulated week was
up, that strange, eager little
person-what was her name
Thurston?-were to come to her
and tell her that Mrs. Lorrimer was
still determined to ignore her
existence, what should she do?
The only sensible thing to do,
thought Delight, was to confront
Mrs. Lorrimer, manage to see
Lorry, carry the battle into the
enemy camp and see what hap
pened then. If, as far as charac-
ter was concerned, Lorrimer had
not changed, Delight thought she
knew that he would feel under a
sacred obligation. He had been a
very chivalrous boy, generous and
idealistic, under the hardrboiled
veneer Of war, the laughter, the
almost hysterical gayety of leave
time. She had been dreadfully in
love with him, had offered, be-
cause of her own surge Of emo
tons, half adolescent, half forced
into flower by the unnatural cir
cumstances Of war, to go away
with him for part of his leave. He
had refused. He had insisted that
he didn't want her "that way"
But wanted her as-his wife.

An Idealist

Was he still idealistic and, we'll,
Impractical, she wondered. She
thought SO, somehow, remember
ing Mary Louis almost fantastic
story Of his fidelity to a memory,
his frantic search, his unhappiness
at a loss.
Yes, she would be all kinds Of q
fool not to take advantage Of this
amazing piece of luck which had
come her way.
If Mrs. Lorrimer changed her
mind and sent for her or came to
her, they would have it out. If
she didn't change her mind-well,
Delight rather fancied she could
change it for her. Meantime, per-
haps it would do no harm to 90
out to Westmill, incognito, and see
how the land there lay.
She might catch a glimpse Of
Lorrimer. She wouldn't make
herself known to anyone, but she
would rather like to confirm what
Evanson had said with her own
eyes.
Therefore, on the following
morning, which was Sunday, De-
light got up at, to her, an ungodly
hour, and proceeded to Grand
Central station, where she took q
train for Connecticut.

OF IOLIN THE BEST

in millinery.

tincture of iodin iodine to you, old
timers) to take care of all the wounds
we have collected on our evening
prowls around the neighborhood. Not
that we have been without liberal
samples of all the newfangled anti
septics. We just had more faith in
iodin.
A few years ago we ventured to
express our opinion about this pub
licly. But that benevolent effort only
brought us grief. First the customers
besieged us with protests because
they discovered a poison label on the
iodin vial and they wondered what
we were trying to do. Then the in
terests that seek to popularize newer
and, if you can believe 1t, better anti
septics, directed barrage of so called
scientific reports at us, reports of lab
loratory researches conducted by bac-

seconds. These interests were so az
gressive in their attitude that Tony
and I figuratively pulled in our horns

quite a while-but we went right on
treating our wounds with a dash Of
tincture Of iodin and then forgetting
them.

By PAUL HARRISON

New York, July 1.-THE tattooine
business, as you may imagine, isn't
what it used to be. The Atlantic
fleet hasn't been to New York in q
long time, and mere merchant sailors
have lost the urge for personal deco
ration. Modern SWANS no longer
seem anxious to be branded with
lsweethearts' initials. And bibulous
fellows OF today seldom have the in
spiration to get themselves tattooed
just for lark.
So 1t is that Prof. Charles wag-
ner, dean Of Americas needle artists,
has come upon the twilight OF his
colorful career. Down at Chatham
Square, where impassive Chinatown
blends into the squalid Bowery, the
professor sits among his vivid pig
ments and his patterns, and wonders
III thefe'll ever be a renaissance Of
the intimate art. Maybe it can be
promoted to fad, like riding BIZ
cycles. Perhaps women can be per-
suaded to let him tattoo color into
their cheeks, or beauty marks on
their shoulder blades. Maybe the re-
peal Of prohibition would help.

Ia ROYAL PATRON
Wagner wishes professional ethics
didn't forbid mention Of the names
LOT prominent people who have been
tattooed, for he says he knows the
vain little secrets Of various society
women, gay young blades, actresses
and explorers. However, he doesn't
mind mentioning foreign patrons Of
the art: King George v of England
had dragon tattooed on his arm
after Gar Nicholas II and Queen
Olga Of Greece set the fashion.
When Wagner went into his busi-
ness A years ago, tattooing was a
painful and laborious process done
by hand. In 1904, though, he and a
CO. worker, the late Prof. Samuel
O'Reilly, invented the electric needle.
The craft was taken up~by hundreds,
with standardized designs and rival
schools Of technique. Wagner had his
whole body done in Biblical scenes as
an advertising stunt, and Chatham
Square became internationally known
as center about which score Of
professors" had their studios.
Today the number has dwindled to
three, but Wagner still maintains his
little booth in one corner Of the

power, and brought in the super

Now superpower, while intricate
in its technique, is simple in prin-
ciple. Say you have 10 cities within
a circular area, each served by a
small generating plant. One city
has its peak load" Of highest de-
mand for current at one time, an
other at another. One city has a
hydro plant, and it's power varies
with the water supply. Another
generates it's power from coal.
Now If you link all these small
systems together, and regulate
through a central switchboard the
amount each city receives at any
time, each city gets better, cheap
