Wilson had not broken down

probability would have been

The bitter fued between Taft
and Roosevelt in 1912 was due
to intraparty strife and had
little or no relation to relative
regard for the Constitution or
reverence for tradition by THEN
respective adherence. The third
nomination and election of
Franklin D. Roosevelt will hinge
upon his own decisio and the
posture of events Immediately
prior to the nominating conven-

make his selection and election
inevitable. -.

system whereby the books re-
main in the county for a period
of two months, and are at the
disposal of the Farm people
in that county. The enthusiasm
and interest with which the
books have been greeted is very
eloqent testimony to the great
need of them. ..
Estimates say that 98 pc r
cent of the population of West
Virginia is without library
service. And yet, every day,
there is new demand for books
for books that are not avail
able. The West Va, Farm Wo-
mems Bureau is doing what it
can to meet the need, but the
job is of such magnitde that the
surface has hardly been scratch

the state are such that begin

she had been to birthday party. But why FEET?
 Even Ellen's mother by this time was considerably worried. How does infantile paralysis start?" she asked, "Well, it doesn't begin that way" I told her. And then suggest ed that we change the subject, and before long everybody was laughing at a joke father told and the child was put back to bed.
 Alarmists Brighten the Child
 Next day, so was told, everything was fine. The whole kit and kaboo- dle of them had forgotten about the little pink feet. Ellen did not remember. The feet did not remem- Der. And that was that.
 But had watched the child that evening. Her symptoms increased with the alarm of the family. She was still half aslep, but no one knew it. A child wakened out of sleep gives the appearance of being wholly awake. She was extremely nervous. And just conscious enough to get historical when she heard dire things that she did not understand being said about her.
 The power of suggestion is potent, extremely so. I think her very wise mother who keeps alarm to herself, applies little home remedies (such as warm water bottle in this easel, and does her worrying out of .earshot; or gets the doctor, if her fear is we1l-founded.

of. She doesn't have to get away from home to do that. And she doesn't have to leave town to meet new people another of the things she enjoys most about vacationing.
 With new clothes, and deter imitation to make some new friends, a girl is right in the vacation mood and ready to step out of the win ter dumps.
 Now, as on any vacation, whether or not she has fun and gets her moneys worth is up to her. She will if she puts her mind to making things happen, instead of sitting around waiting for a good time.
 Playing hostess is the best way. Meeting friends for lunch, mixing old friends and new acquaintances at buffet suppers, and writing the notes and making the telephone calls she has been putting off for weeks will get her into the swing again.
 Everybody - even 8 bore = has brothers and cousins, and the girl who entertains lot stands a good chance of meeting them. And get ting to know a new man or two is the most any girl asks of vacation summer or winter.

 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Magazine Piffle
 Read an article in let us call it the Moron) magazine claiming that 8 negro doctor has discovered that peanut oil is remedy fols infantile paralysis. (Mrs. F. V. K0
 Answer-It is no more a remedy for infantile paralysis than is cot tonseed oil or olive oil or other food oil.
 Frenzied Specialism
 Please recommend a good spec ialist on colitis. You recommended a specialist on hernia who cured me of double hernia. (F. w. M.)
 Answer-No, I recommended a physician who is skilled in the am- bulant (injection) treatment of her. mia. I know of no specialist on colitis I would recommend, but if you repeat the request and in- close a three cent stamped envelope bearing your correct address (not "City") I will send you the name and address of physician skilled in the treatment of colitis. Don't be gullible about specialists"
 Heart Burn, Eh?
 What do you recommend for burning and pressing in the chest after eating? I think it is acid in digestion. Is there anything to re- heve that? (Mrs. H. J. TD
 Answer-Many persons with "acid stomach" heartburn, hyperacidity, etc., get considerable relief from ten grains of calcium carbonate, which neutralizes excessive acidity for hours. This is preferable to soda and other alkalis.
 The Craving
 With thirty years of smoking be- hind me, including I. don't know how many attempts to quit, I am pleased to say that your little pamphlet on Tobacco Habit has done the trick. It is eight months now since I smoked or wanted a cmoke. My weight is normal for the first time in twenty years and I feel years younger. Long live old Doc Brady and his pleasant pellets of health! co. L. S)

Assimilation Of Iron In Blood

Assimilation Of Iron In Blood
 From clinical and experimental observations many physicians be- lieve that iron in foods does not produce as great hemoglobin re- generating effect as does the same amount of iron taken in the form of inorganic salts of iron such as iron carbonate, iron oxide, iron and ammonium citrate.
 It seems that the value of iron, whether in food or medicine, de- bends on its solubility. The chem ical determination of the total amount of iron in given food does not give an accurate idea of the value of that food for the purpose of preventing or curing anemia.
 For instance, 100 grams (about 3 1-2 ounces) of cooked beef con- tains 5.20 milligrams (about IA grains) of iron, but only one-fourth of that is soluble. One hundred grams of cooked spinach contains 7.89 milligrams of iron, and more than one-third of that is soluble. One hundred grams of cooked po- tatO contains 2.56 milligrams of iron and more than nine-tenths of that is soluble. One hundred grams of cooked oatmeal contains $40 milligrams of iron and a little less than one-half of that is soluble. One hundred grams of cooked wheat contains 5.90 milligrams of iron, and two-thirds of that is soluble.
 One hundred grams (about 3 1-2 ounces) of cooked cabbage contains 1.30 milligrams of iron and more than nine-tenthS of that is soluble. One hundred grams of cooked prunes contains 2.82 milligrams of iron and two-thirds of that is sol- uble. One hundred grams of cooked egg yolk contains 4.80 milligrams of iron and a little over one-fifth of that is soluble. One hundred grams of cooked carrots contains 2.20 milligrams of iron and nine teen-twentieths of that is soluble. One hundred grams of cooked beef liver contains 8.30 milligrams of iron and not quite one-third of that is soluble. One-fourth of a grain of iron a day is sufficient for a healthy man, and that much iron is readily obtained by a normal per- son in many foods.
 In any case of anemia it is wise not to lose sight of the fact that no form or amount of iron can bring about permanent cure unless the cause of the anemia is recog- nized and corrected. Often it seems to be prolonged moderate de- ficiency of vitamin B complex in the diet. For that reason physicians today generally prescribe vitamin B complex in one form or another

Glorfing Yourself

 Experts agree that it is no easy matter to reduce ankles, calves and knees. However, if you do the fol- lowing exercises correctly and regu- larly four times week for three months, you are bound to see de- finitely favorable results. To reduce ankles and give them heater form:
 Sit in a straight chair with arms folded and legs outStretched at knee level. Relax ankles and TO- tate feet around and around. Now pull heels back toward your body at the same time tilting toes to- ward the floor. Reverse stretching heels forward and pulling toes back toward body.
 This one-also to slenderize an- kles-is fayorite of Patricia Bow man of the famous Mordkin Bal let:
 Stand erect with hands on hips toes apart and heels touching. Rise to the tiptoes. Lower heels to floor then bend from the knees to a squatting position. It is important that heels be kept flat.
 Return to standing position and bring right leg up to half toe posi- tion-that is, pointing right toes downward while holding right heel against left ankle. Return to orig inal position and repeat from be- ginning.
 Incidentally, both Mr.Mordkin and Miss Bowman warn against doing leg and ankle exercises too rapidly or more than fifteen times each per day. And they are firm
 in their belief that no child under eight should study ballet, explain ing that it is advisable to wait un- til the bones of the legs have be- come reasonably hard.
 To reduce calves and give the legs a longer, streamlined look, Miss Bowman likes this routine:
 Stand erect with heels together and toes wide apart. Balance your self by putting one hand lightly
