RELIEF OF NIGHT CRAMPS
 Many persons past middle age complain of muscle spasm or cramps in the legs, occurring in the night and waking them from sleep or keeping them from sleeping. In some instances the cramp Is so painful that the victim has to get out of bed and massage or exercise the legs for some time to get relief In a few cases the cramps are so severe that the victim is afraid to go to bed at all, but sits up all night, having discovered that in that posi- tion the cramps are less likely to come.
 One reader gets relief by covering head with bedclothes and rebreath- ing the air few minutes. Another buries face in pillow and rebreathes the air few minutes. A man 30 years old who had suffered with leg cramps at night began wearing tight garters at night and suffered no more cramps. A woman found re- lief by wearing woolen army socks at night. A man found relief by lying on back with feet one foot apart and turning toes inward (pig- eon-toed) as far as possible and holding the feet in that position from IS to 30 seconds.
 Calcium feeding has brought pro- longed relief to many sufferers from night cramps. Fifteen grains of calcium gluconate or calcium 1actate or calcium chloride or dicalcium phosphate night and morning, for week or two, best taken after meals. Or a pleasant, non-irritating com- bination of calcium gluconate (6 grains) may be taken in the form of wafer, in which there is also enough vitamin D to insure assimi- lation of the calcium.
 In fifteen cases of night cramps reported by Drs. H. K. Moss and L. G. Hermann quinine proved uni forlnly beneficial. The usual dose of quinine for these cases is three grains of quinine sulfate three times a day. The quinine should be taken regularly for several weeks. Some times the cramps recur after the Quinine is discontinued, but if the regular three grains three times a day routine is resumed the cramps presently cease again.
 The excellent remedial effect of quinine in the peculiar muscle bound" condition known as myo- tonia, a kind of momentary rigidity or Spasm which causes a hesitation or inability to make an intentional movement, especially under stress of excitement, suggested the use of

Her application buried in the files another job missed. That's . fre- quent story with the untrained job seeker. How to change the ending?
 Simply-get a skill. Shorthand is one that can be learned at home and it's usually the first skill you're asked about. Indeed, in these days when you're expected to pinch hit in many tasks, shorthand is an add ed advantage no matter what office job you're after.
 The Pitman shorthand system isn't difficult. Those mysterious "squiggles" are symbols for different sounds in the language. On hear ing a word you just put down symbol for each sound in it.
 Though there are thousands of words, or combinations of sounds, the sounds themselves are few. Learn a number each day, prac- tice taking dictation from friend, and you'll progress rapidly.
 You have speed aids, too, to help you make good when your chance comes. For such a commonly used phrase as "as much as," you write an abbreviated symbol, short stroke with loop at each end.

IESIS SHOW THAT MEN AXE MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL THAN WOMEN

Every twenty years or less they and their emotions get international relations in such a mess than the world goes to war-and fights until the whole world is down and out.
 Then they make a bad peace, and it is only a matter of time until they decide they have to fight again.
 Women wouldn't try to solve simple questions by fighting wars if they were running the governments of the world. They are too logi- cal.
 WOMEN KNOW
 THE HIGH PRICE
 War has never made sense to women. They would look the situation over with clear, matter-of-fact minds and see that even though they might win a war, they would have to pay too high a price for it, in misery, loss of life, broken homes, and all the tragedies that accompany modern strife.
 What is the use of profes- sors finding out these things if we don't put the knowl- edge to practical use?
 A good start would be for hausfraus to take over the offices of Hitler and Musso- lini. The emotional natures of these two have played enough havoc with the world.

DOUGLAS COUNCIL MOVES
 TO PROTECT WATER USERS

Douglas City Council convened in regular session last night for what proved to be one of the most inter- esting meetings of the year as sev- eral propositions of unusual import ance to the community were pre- sented. Due to uncertainties that extend into the more or less distant future, actual developments in one or two of the subjects, there is no mention of them to be made at the present time.
 The Council voted a change order made to cover the servicing of the new school gymnasium with cleo tricity whereby it's lighting and power can come from the same gen. eral service wires to the main school building.
 Safeguarding the water supply of the town against contamination was made an issue for serious thought as berry -pickers and hunters as well as animals haunt the hills neigh boring the reservoirs tributaries during certain months. It was de- cided to chlorinate the water as is done in Anchorage, Sitka, Skagway and other Alaska towns and most of the cities in the States. w. T. Massey, of the Territorial Depart ment of Health, explained the meth ods of chlorination and offered the Council loan of apparatus for im- mediate use until purchase of suit able chlorinator can be accom- plished.
 James Hopgood of the Govern ment School here, asked the Council for terms of lease or purchase of the Natatorium to provide place where his students can play basketball and build boats. This matter was re- ferred to the Committee on Public Properties.
 One or two tax cases occupied some of the time spent and the rest of the session was involved with reports of standing committees, and provision for remedying a couple of matters which included peddlars op- erating without licenses according to ordinance, and garbage dumping in certain sections of the city, both of which were referred to City Mar shal Charles Schramm.
