 QUESTIONS 6 ANSWERS
 Boots
 have to work outside this winter much of the time in mud and water Is it best to wear rubbers or arctic overShoes or rubber boots in which you can't wear any shoes but only stocking feet? I mean how is rheu- matism best avoided? (J. D.
 AnSwer-Wear whatever foot cov- ering ycu find most comfortable in [ the circumstances. No objection to wearing rubberS or rubber boots without shoes if they are most sat- isfactory. Such exposure to cold and wet has nothing to do with any of the ills called rheumatism" so far as we know. I should think socks with thick soft wool feet would give most comfort, whether you wear shoes and arctics or rubbers, or no shoes and rubber boots.
 ImmunizatiOn
 The baby received diphtheria shots when he was six months old. Later a Schick test showed he was not immune. He received more diph- theria shots. At age of 1-2 years he had diphtheria. Later another Schick test showed he still was not immune. (Mrs. H. L. B.
 Answer-If the child's attack of diphtheria did not render him im- mune, doubt whether all the toxin- antitoxin, anatoxin or toXid or any number of Schick tests can do any more in that direction. Every child, preferably before the age of one year, certainly before going to nursery school or kindergarten, should receive from the family phy- sician the standard immunization against diphtheria. For older children the Schick test is quite reliable; for infants under two years it is not so reliable-they should all be consid- cred susceptible, not immune, and receive the immunization treatment. or shots as the one-syllable class call them.
 Great Moments in History
 It seems far out of line for a health advisor to recommend eating any such indigestible thing as buckwheat pancakes. How can you possibly justify. .(H. T. H)
 Answer Man, you had better send right away to U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture, or Government Printing Office, fifteen cents for copy of "Vitamin Content of Foods" Compare the analysis of wheat and buckwheat Buckwheat supplies 25 international units of vitamin B in the ounce, as against wheat which supplies only 15 units. If you ever have the good fortune to find a stack of old-fashioned yeast-raised ouckwheat pancakes on your break fast table, with genuine maple syrup m plenty of butter n ENROLLED coffee on the side you'll begin to un- derstand why the nth of October, when the sack of prize buckwheat arrives from Penn Yan, is a day of re oicing hereabouts. Of course if you prefer to quarrel with your food, don't let us stop you. But by the same token you can't expect us to go sour on good food just because you harbor quaint obseSsions about it. Drop in some morning and try your luck spearing a pancake if you can beat me to 1t. M Copyright 1888, John F. bile co. |

ANoxIA AND HEART FAILURE


 Insufficient oxygen delivered to the cells, tissues or organs of the body, anoxia, as doctors call it, eX- plains all the symptoms of heart disease, whether it be valvular leakage, angina pectoris or chronic myorcarditis (slow heart muscle failure). Complete deprivation Of oxygen, cellular asphyXia, is the cause of death in all cases of heart disaese that terminate fatally. Valvular disease is never fatal, however. A person with valvular leakage may, if he knows his ham, dicap and limitations and lives within them, enjoy longer life than the average.
 The vital importance of the constant delivery of oxygen to the cells, tissues or organs is dealt with in greater detail in How to l Breathe" 50-page booklet about carbon monoXide, anoxia, belly breathing, resuscitation. halitosis, snoring, neurasthenia, quick fat igability, languor, headache, vital capacity, mountain sickness, your diaphragm, shortness of breath. Sorry, but it will really be worth two bits. I expect, and you may have a copy for only twenty cents coin if your provide a full-size stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress.
 Tuesdays we do not bowl Take to give the green one day a week to grow and rest. I hate like Tuesday suggesting any symptom here, but after all an ounce of pre- vention is bitterer than pound of cure. Before we leave the subject of anoxia I need only mention that comparatively slight anoxia, as in altitude flying, is probably account able for otherwise inexplicable aviation disasters attributed to pilot error" Among the effects of moderate oxygen want are dulling of senses and intellect without the person being aware of it, lowering of powers of sight, hearing, mem- ory, judgment, irrational ideas, un- | controlled outbursts of emotion, disturbed muscular coordination Such effects occur in anoxia from | various illnesses such as fever, pneumonia, septicemia, as well as in chronic or moderate carbon mon- oxide anoxia and in high flying or mountain sickness. They occur, too, in heart diSease-any kind of or ganic heart disease in which the hearts reserve power is so reduced that the circulation fails to supply enough oxygen to satisfy the de- mands of the patients ways of liv- ing.
 You see, a normal heart has power. say from A to E for the ordinary requirements of sedentary life or moderate work or play, and power from E to K which 1t can put forth in an emergency. The E to K power is reserve power. Now suppose a valvular lesion develops, and with each heart beat a portion of the blood leaks back thru the damaged valve. In order to still pump enough blood into the arr teries the heart must pump more at each beat than the normal quantity, to compensate for the backflow. It does this by drawing on the reserve power. Therefore heart with a valvular insufficiency has to use power, say from A to G even when the individual is at rest. and has a correspondingly limited reserve to put forth in any emer- gency, only from c to K.
 The margoin of reserve power is the determining factor in the

cuse of "Oh well, they're ruined now and somebody will buy them anyway, so may as well be a criminal too"
 But don't feel that way so much now, although I still hold my views about trees in general. The Christmas tree trade has become more or less legitimate business. Trees are raised with the intention of selling them at certain age m the markets of the cities, to bring happiness to the children.
 Then there is this to it also. Ev- cry farmer knows that land al- lowed to be unplowed for some years, is soon covered with a short pine growth. To clear this land the trees must be cut. Again, where oak trees have been burned or cut, natural growth of pine rises to cover the scar. Why this is, l do not know. Take of the pine, and the next growth will be oak. One of the strange things about nature that only nature knows.
 Be Careful With Lights
 If you have been where have, through tracts of conifers without end almost, that runs for miles in every direction, too crowded for any of them to have breathing space. then the thought would oc- cur to you that they needed thin ming so that the biggest and strongest could attain some size. l think this cured me more than any, thing else of my computations about cutting Christmas trees.
 Those of us who remember the day of candles, real ones, of bright red, blue, green and white cannot help regretting their going. Elec- tricity seems a dissertation. Yet, only common sense tells us that the old candle was too dangerous for general use. Dry pine or spruce Is the most inflammable thing in the world. A touch from tiny flame, and that meant 8 big fire before anyone could think twice.
 However, we must not feel too safe at that. Every line of lights to be draped over the branches should be closely inspected for open wires. Where the insula- tion is rubbed off old sets, they

 With a full range of shades for each skin tone easily available to every woman, regardless of how much or how little she has to spend on cosmetics, there's just no excuse for wearing makeup that is all wrong.
 You can, and you certainly should decide whether your com- plexion comes under the heading of golden, pinkish >or clear. If it's golden, ask to see and be allowed to try four or five shades of face powder in various beige or golden tones. Select one which matches exactly your natural coloring. If your powder is too light, your skin will have an artificial, pasty look. If it's too dark, it may ap- pear muddy instead of fresh and clear.
 Be as meticulous in your choice of rouge and lipstick. These should match exactly the shades your lips and cheeks become after violent exercise or after you have patted them a b:t and stim- ulated circulation. You'll find it advisable to remember that few and far between are those who can wear pale, clear pink rouge and hpStick. And seldom does anyone except . red-head look well in rusty orange makeup Eschew exotic tones unless the lights cast by color you happen to be wearing make them appropri- ate.
 Once you have a supply of cor. rect makeup, learn to apply it correctly. No girl. no matter how naturally lovely she is, looks either smart or pretty if there are round or triagular blotches of rouge on her cheeks, or if her nose is heav- fly coated with almost white pow der.
 If you have trouble getting pow der on smoothly so that your skin has dull, beautifully finished ap- pearance, invest in a powder brush. Then. after you have smoothed on foundation lotion, blended rouge carefully and pressed :avlsh quan- titles of powder against your skin and let it set moment or two. brush off the excess. Or you might use a large fluffy piece of cotton to apply the powder, whisking off the excess with the reverse side of 1t.

Of territory Of sovereign states, de-
struction Of lawfully constituted gov
ernments and forcible seizure Of
hitherto independent political entities,
interference in the internal affairs Of
other nations, wholesale violation Of
established treaty obligations. growing
disregard of universally accepted rrin-
ciples Of international law. attempts to
adjust international differences by
armed force rather than by methods of
pacific settlement, contemptuous
brushing aside of rules Of morality-all
these appalling manifestations Of dis
integration seriously threaten the very
foundations of our civilization.
Re- Esta ablishment Of Order
Under Law Becomes Imperative.
Inasmuch Is the processes Of dis
integration and deterioration in inter-
national relations are plainly spreading
in many directions, the curative pro-
cesses must be no less broad in scope
and more effective in character. Not
only has the rebuilding Of sound
economic structure become absolutely
essential, but the re-establishment OF
order under law in relations among
nations has become imperatively neces-
sary. Hence, while continuing and
intensifyipg our effort to promote eco
nomic reconstruction, the Government
Of the United States has enlarged the
scope of its effort and Is urging upon
all nations adoption Of comprehen-
sive program embracing both economic
reconstruction and revitalizing of prin-
ciples which are indispensable for
restoration Of order under law.
There is and there can be no doubt
as to the preference and desire Of
the people of this country. We want
peace; we want security; we want
progress and proSperity-for ourselves
and for all nations. Our practical
problem is that of finding and en-
ploying the best methods, Of keeping
our eyes and our feet upon the better
way, Of cooperating with other ma
tions that are seeking as are we to
proceed along that way. On this
problem the Government Of the United
States has been and is constantly at
work. Toward its solution, we sought
at the conference at Buenos Aires in
December, 1896, to broaden our COM
bined economic and peace program
by proposing and urging upon peace
full nations everywhere adoption Of
program based on principles of world
law and international order This
program calls for constant reafnrma-
ton. rehabilitation and stressing OF
fundamental principles. Its essential
points can not be too often stated.
We believe in, we support and we
recommend to all nations economic
reconstruction as the foundation Of
national and international well-being
and stability.
We believe in, We support and we
recommend adherence to the basic
principles Of international law as the
guiding and governing rules OF con-
duct among nations.
