1918. hostilities ceased in Europe
in the World War, possibly the
largest conflict OF the kind of all
times. History tells us that the
last crash of cannon took place
all along the American front ex-
actly on time. Frenchmen burst
into song while many American
soldiers went nonchalantly about
without much demonstration. And
while the armistice was being
formed and for some days before
il was consummated, historians
tell us German hostilities continu-
ed.
The war crash came in August.
1914, with suddenness and in
tensity to daze the world. The
match, it may be said, was applied
in the little country of Serbia, in
Central Europe, the elimination
of a storm brewing in Europe for
some time. In Serbia an assassi-
nation took place. We remember
reading small article of the oc-
currence in the press at the time
but little did we dream of the
outcome.
The war continued for four
years with the conquest with Ger
many. Then came the Peace Pact
and the League of Nations and
we thought wars forever were at
an end
But it has been only few
weeks since that the civilized
world was thrown into filters by
the imminent possibility of an
other war. There has followed
another "armistice."

 What do you think about alcohol injections for tic douloureux? (E. S.)
 Answer-In intractable cases of tic douloureux or ordinary facial neuralgia alcohol injections into the nerve root sometimes produce tem- porary paralysis too.
 Infected TOnsils
 Patient confined to bed with what doctor calls true angina pectoris. Tonsils very large and infected. Op- eration on tonsils out of question. Doctor thinks patient can't stand even diathermy treatment. Doctor who gives such treatment tells me even one or two treatments might benefit patient. (E. w. T)
 Answer-Diathermy extirpation is the alternative method commonly employed when heart disease or other, complication makes the risk of surgical tonsillectomy too great. Why not have your family doctor consult with the doctor who thinks on or two diathermy treatments might benefit?

PREVENTION AND CURE OF
 RINGWORM


 EpidermophytosiS, tinea sycosis, ringworm, athletes foot, trench foot, barber's itch, tricophytosis, derma- tomycosis, fungus infection, mycosis by whatever name you callJit the disease itcheS, spreads and resistS treatment unless the treatment is intelligently selected and carefully applied. The fungus, or rather the several varieties of fungus that cause ringworm disease may grow and live for considerable time in clothing, shoe lining or the scales or particles of epidermis dropped from the infected area of the skin, and so re-infect the individual him. self or infect other individuals who come into close association or con- tact.
 Only the physician trained and experienced in diagnosis of skin le- sions can distinguish ringworm dis ease from various other skin dis eases. The layman had better not try. However, ringworm disease is still quite common, among all classes of people, although the type known as athletes foot is not so prevalent as it was a few years ago-probably because more care is taken by in- telligent persons about walking barefoot where others have walked barefoot-about swimming pools, baths, hotel bedrooms, gymnasiums. It is fairly likely that a patch or patches of scaly itching skin lesions on the foot. especially between the toes, is ringworm.
 A daily painting with tincture of iodin, for three days in succession, is good first aid application in any case that presents the appear ance of a ringworm lesion.
 Application of ammoniated mer- cury ointment of per cent strength is another good first aid treatment if you suspect the trouble is ring worm-on any part of the body, of child or adult.
 A good lotion to apply to ring worm is solution of one ounce of sodium thiosulphate in enough water to fill half-pint (eight-ounce) bot tie. This may be sopped on the le- sion several times day, or a con- press wet with it and held in place by a bandage may be left on all night.
 For the prevention of foot itch many swimming pools keep a shall low tank or large basin of water containing sodium thiosulphate be- tween dressing room and pool or bath, so that every patron must step ln the solution for a moment. This has proved of great value in pre- venting the spread of epidermophy- toSiS.
 Sodium thiosulphate Sometimes called hyposulphite) in powder form is used with much satisfaction for dustlng on the feet, in the stock ings, in the shoes, for the preven- tion or relief of ringworm or fungus infections-for this purpose the dusting powder may consist of an ounce of the thiosulphate well mixed with three ounces of talcum.
 One reader, of scientific standing, assured me he had cured his foot itch by soaking the foot in water having a temperature of 115 to 120 degrees F. for few minutes, dip ping the foot momentarily in cold water for relief from the extreme heat.

.BEAUTY- Glorifying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

According to a famous couturier who visited this country recently, cultures are the focal point of at tention these days. The fact that more and more smart women are wearing their hair off the neck and high on the head means that fash ions in clothes and makeup will change noticably within the next few months, he thinks.
 T hear ever so many women say that they will never adopt higher, shorter hair styles" the Paris designer went on. But they will. No fashion minded woman can resist trying any new style that is being talked about in smart circles. If she tries one of the new cultures, more than likely she'll stick to it. If she does, it means that she'll start wearing even more feminine clothes, affecting pink and white, delicate makeup"
 It is, of course, important that you study your face and meek from all angles before you decide to brush your hair upward. If you have a long face and a long neck, you will want to break the hard line of your jaw with curls or ring

lets or some bit of fuff1ness, placed low behind ears.
 The hairdressers who can help you to decide on a coiffure which is new but who knows how to vary it little to suit your particular type is the one to seek out.
 A truly chic woman never adopts wholeheartedly a new style unless 1t happens to suit her. She strives for a variation that will be in keep ing with the new mode, yet emin- ently flattering to her.
 The girl who goes south for a winter vacation ought to take along plenty of suntan lotions and creams to keep her skin from becoming too brown. If ultra feminine clothes are to dominate the spring fashion pie ture, she won't want to join the Easter parade with skin that looks weather-beaten or even tomboyish- ly ruddy.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

"Dear me, dear me" says the nice old lady. cant somebody stop them? Those little boys are killing each other, and it's outrageous"
 She explained to bystanders that they were walking along as peace fully as two doves, when all at once they laid down their books and went at each other like small tigers. A couple of tired gentlemen who had been leaning against the drug store, stepped over indifferently to the curb and began betting on the two small figures now rolling in the gutter.
 "Oh, lady lady, it's only in fun" drawled one. They aren't hurting anything" But the little woman went home, unable to bear the sight of Tommy sitting on Jerry'S stom- ach and strangling him at the same time. Jerry had just completed a "fisticuff," as she would have put it, to Tommy'S left eye, and had half twisted his arm off.
 What Are Parents to Do?
 Well, suppose we were witnessing some such primal urge in two boys, and were unable to bear the shock. What would we do about it? Espe- cially If one of the boys was our own? Tell him never to fight? Tell him it is wicked, and wrong and a. expensive?
 Nearly every mother shudders over the thought. Fathers are more than likely to say, 'Well, who won?. Don't tell me you let that weak little sissy trim you?"
 There are two ways of Scrapping. One is to let off steam and prove mettle. The other is that dear old alibi of clearing honor by killing or mairning. Some boys simply can't bear the sight of each other, and therefor think it behooves them to punish on sight.
 Mark the difference, good mother, and explain to your son while he is very young that you don't mind a little of the one, but that you won't stand for the other, not for a min ute. If he is the aggressor, and picks a light with another boy just to vent his is spite, same on him; but if he is the victim of some bully's mas ttness and has to defend his fights rights by answering blow with blow, it is shame for him. He should be told to keep clear of the tor mentor. And if the persecution keeps up to an intolerable degree, do some Investigating, without hurting your sons standing, but put an end to this state of affairs.
 Fighting is strong in some boys natures. For others it has no in terest. It all depends. Occasionally we find a child who does not bear Rrudges, but who still keeps a whole street stirred up with his constant challenges. It won't hurt the others 10 give him some practice, if they are so inclined, but enough is enough. After a while this agitator gnould be put in his place and find himself, one fine day devoid of ChunlS.
 Investigate every scrap. Keep quiet about most small Scrimmages and just get out linament and sewing box: but make your sentiments concerning fighting clearly known. III fun. yes, little; or even to lick rome fellow that simply needs to be si1oWn his place when he has been too insistently insulting and cruel.
