Pain in the ear sometimes may
be relieved in the early stages
by dropping eardrops, slightly
warmed, into the ear.
Most Of such drops are COM
posed Of glycerine with, OCCASION

caYbolic acid. For the last-named,
horic acid occasionally Is substi-
tttted. Either Of these remedies Is

wrongly applied. and should not
be used without advice of a doc
TOR.
The mere application Of heat TO
an aching ear sometimes will
bring relief. In most instances,
however, 1t Is necessary TO incise
the eardrum TO let out the collec-
.tion Of infectious material.
: People have strange notions
about the eardrum. They think
that Q punctwe OF the drum will
interfere permanently with hear
ing and cause other damage. Ac-
stually, the eardrum heals prompt
wly after the infection disappears,
land the hearing is likely to be
s.just as good as 1t was previously.
There Is, In fact. far better
s1schance Of saving the eardrum II 1t
as opened promptly when there Is
pressure from pis behind 1t.

ssfrom the ear into the mastoid
region, the condition called mas
4toiditis develops. This Is much
more serious than the ordinary In

turns his attention to somebody
who doesn't open her mouth except
to ask questions.
When Is Important
Women can talk themselves out
of anything--husba Jobs, friends,
or date TO the movies. A wise
woman, q charming woman, one
who will be asked again, win learn
how to talk, and what Is far more
important, she will learn wheni

ell, who has taken ladies out
to dine in Bali, Stockholm, Buda-
pest, Rome, Buenos Ayres, Santiago,
and any other place you care to
mention, has come to the conclu-
sion that women are lovely crea-
tures-until they swing their lines.
ut is irritating for women to
carry on a line" he says. when
you take girl out to dinner you
want to relax and let the converse
ton take its own course. Comments
should come naturally. Silence
should be the same. When a wo-
man thinks she must continue to
talk, the man thinks he must have
an answer ready. The strain be-
comes tiresome."
Between the Acts
Rule one. Relax! Tension Is as
awkward In conversation as pro-
tracted silence. More so. The
silence may contain hint of mys-
terry. 1t is bound to develop curios-
ity. But tension wears down the
nerves and a man who has been
talked out of the picture isn't likely
to come back for more punishment.
II you are talking naturally, be-
cause It's your habit, and you have
things to say, the man will know
1t and not be burdened. That is.
unless you forget that there are all
ways interludes between quarters
and acts.
All the world LIS stage-but In
a mixed cast, 1t is better to let the
men put on the show. II the man
grows weary and needs to be enter
tanned, instead Of being permitted to
sit quietly as he prepares for O
comeback, you'll know 1t II you are
at all astute. Time enough, there
is then, TO get out your own bag Of
tricks. Put 1t away II he knows
something better to do with
matches, or wants to tell you how
he answered his boss, or his first
impression Of the Pyramids or Mrs.
Simpson.
Jt's o Common Failing
Any woman, who is honest. will
recall countless times when she has
been at dinner or tea with another
woman who persisted In talking
feverishly. Be honest. haven't you
wanted to ask her to keep quiet
so you could think about someone
whom the music recalls. enjoy your
ice. or Just sit? Sometimes you
merely nodded as she talked. hop
ing she would take the hint. She
didn't. She talked faster. thought
up more subjects.
You hoped your paths wouldn't
cross until q cold had stolen her
voice.
Why 1t Is that women have not
learned that man may be effected
In the same manner by q woman
who talks too much, u q mystery.

be entertaining, diverting, nsd let
there be no silence. Then We woil-

PENSIONS AND THE BONUS

Payment of the so-called veterans bonus appears virtually assured at this session of Congress judging from sentiment emanatng from both houses Whether not the President should his veto apparently will not make much difference. Democrats and Re- publicans alike paying attention to the pressure being put on by veteran organizations, and a great many other than lawmakers are convinced the bonus might well be paid and have it with. and let such benefits will flow forth to needy ex-service 
 Doubtless it will help many thousands but will it be with? That is of the sticklers back of the whole thing. The President, himself veteran, having served assistant Secretary of the Navy during the World War may not have been outspoken against immediate payment before had it not been for the openly admitted fact that movement already is under way to urge Congress pension plan for veterans.
 When the present bonus act was passed in 1924 one of the agreements that pension would be asked for Rather than pension soldiers in previous the bonus insurance plan adopted then with the unanimous approval of the veterans. Is there any wonder then that President Roosevelt who familiar with the plan and the needs from the outset is bit chary about making payment now when the rumble is getting louder and louder for pension? Such movement by veterans would be direct con- tradiction of their position in 1924.
 No one for a questions the giving of govern ment aid-ca it pensions if you willto the disabled the widows and orphans left by who gave their lives for their country. But to pension hundreds of thousands of able bodied men because they did duty their country that the pursuit of life happiness might be theirs is entirely different matter That the obvious story back of the bonus payment at this time. and veterans-a of them in mature life well do little serious thinking before they jump recklessly in support of pension plan, following probable payment of the bonus.

 Contests between capital and la Dor may reach crises in the East and the West. Subversive forces will work secretly among the work CTS.
 Jupiter today smiles upon enter prise and especially upon manu- lecturers who produce iron and steel implements. Machinery is subject to influences read as indi- eating improvements that are cost ly.
 Lawyers are under the most stim- ulating influences and they may expect to engage in public affairs even beyond their usual custom. Members of Congress are to gain sensational notice
 This is an suspicious day for signing legal papers of many sorts. Contracts are well directed, partic- ularly if they have any connection with important news from Europe or the Orient
 College girls should cultivate beauty as well as brains. because there is to be increased demand for women who combine the two.
 Again sensational divorce suits will command the attention of Washington and New York resi- dents. Gossip and scandal will be widespread in the next few weeks.
 Health should be safeguarded, for the stars presage much illness among leaders in government af- fairs. as well as in business and the professionals. Death will remove brilliant figure from national life.

 All the signs appear to indicate continuance of service for men who exercise supreme authority, but many changes are probable among their appointees or employees.
 Religious interest will be mani- fested in many ways through this new year. Efforts to harmonize theory and practice will enlist lib- eral thinkers.

Flight Valuable Demonstration
Fairbanks News Miner !,

The speedy arpane flight from Fairbanks to Ju- neau and return, covering some l4oO miles, made Saturday by Pilot Joe Crosson and Co-Pilot Murray rush scarlet fever to the city, was splendid demonstration of what can be accomplished in this region with the plane in md-winter and under the cold weather conditions common in the region at this time of the year.
 The route has been covered many time by planes flying this commercial route but the round trip time was reduced on this emergency flight.
 Unusual circumstances draw particular attention o this flight and will gain recognition distant points tn a way which otherwise would not come to the attention of outsiders
 It IS to be hoped this particular feat will come to the notice of government authorities in Washington and elsewhere who have to deal with the matter of granting an arplane mail service in Alaska With such SerVlce over main routes of Alaska not only emer- gency supplies will be delivered Alaskans in all seasons with speed and great saving of time but mails likewise receive the same dispatch and Alaskans no longer will be forced to wait long periods for trans mission of their important correspondence over the vast stretches of the Nor,hand
 Had the serum brought here ov Crosson and ten days hence. Why not constant mail service for the builders of the Northland commensurate with the emergency service.
 Once such mail service is established it will be not only matter of great advantage in a business way but in guarding the public health and giving the country that forward impetus such productive and nationally important country Alaska deserves
