A LETTER TO A CHUM
IN LAST WEEKS column We

northern free Negroes which were
sold as slaves in the South. Be-
low is a letter which tells a story
about southern slaves agreeing TO
be kidnapped. for which a price
was paid. doublecrossed and sold
again into slavery.
Macon. % Georgia. Nov. 1S50)
Dear Sir and Chum,
well, well. there is another
dodge, might he which / have al
ready go scheming. ! have four
Negroes whom l have promised 10
carry North, agreeing that they
will consent TO be sold on the way.
Well. these Negroes are stout car
penters. worth from ten TO flttean
hundred dollars each. Well. we
could sell them and cut thus, with
four or five thousand we could
burst Il for two years. and then
play tne same game again. lnese
Negroes meet me at their fathers
who is free. at Christmas. 25th next
month. their father furnishes a
couple OF horses and wagon TO start
on. The horses will sell for grog
money Unless / make the Ne
gro business work, l am dead
broke at present think the
best thing is. to go home till Christ
mas. or about week before. and
then come on. and we'll raise a
storm on these Negroes. The bnsi-
ness might be carried on guorious-
ly for some time"

Definite lines distinguish the
newest fall and winter coiffures.
There are no careless long hobs
among the hair styles that smart
hairdressers ask their chic clientele
to consider these days.
There are pompadours and varia-
tons of them galore, of course. And
there are old-fashioned spit curls,
perukes, chignon effects and merry
widow waves. Large picture hats
set off the narrower, more distinct
waves to excellent advantage. Tiny
fur and feather hats and suave felt
ones, inspired by the mortar board
YOU wore the day you were grad
uated, are perfect atop straight
pompadours and broken ones.
Brigham Young" effects-bon-
nets and forehead curls-are new.
Also straight from the American
album are adaptations of the hair
dos that Betsy Ross, Dolly Madi-
son, Anne Rutledge and Lillian Rus
sell wore.
On the whole, hair is shorter
with many hairdressers using six
inch lengths all over the head. Tail
ored swirls across the back with
simple swirls at sides are revived.
Back hair never is mannishly shin
gled, but it often is short, Swirled
and shaped to fit the head.
Curls may be in neat clusters on
the neck, but they never are allowed
to tumble willy-nilly over the
shoulders. Even debutantes and
Hollywood starlets are being per-
suaded to wear their long hobs
shorter and close to the head rather
than long and billowing.
The Latin-American influence also
will be prevalent in new hair styles

cidal power Of quinine itself-at
least no such power is exerted when
quinine in comparable concentration
is mixed with cri germs or malaria

theless / am thoroughly convinced
that uuinine aids in the body's de-
Tense and fight against pneumonia,
acute bronchitis, fiu, grip or what
do you call it before you can be
certain what is developing If not the
cri,
It doesn't matter whether the
quinine be taken in the form Of
quinine sulfate, quinine bi-sulfate.
quinine hydro chloride or quinine
tannate (quinine tannate is a form
sometimes preferred for children, in
chocolates), or whether III tablet,
pill, capsule or in solution. The
dose as q remedy for acute cri in
an adult is three grains every four
hours; for child weighing less
than SO pounds one grain every four
hours-for several days, If necessary.
The prophylactic dose, that IS, the
dose of quinine advisable for build
ing or maintaining good immunity
in time of cri epidemic, is two grains
each night and morning for an adult,
one grain each night and morning
for a child, and the dose. Is best
taken with or after breakfast and
supper. This should be continued
for several weeks or until the epi-
demic is over.

If even a 50-cent fee is more
than they can pay they will be re-
ceived for less; and if they can't
afford anything at all they will re-
ceive treatment without charge.
In that long queue you would
find symptoms of many kinds seek
ing relief at the many clinics which
the dispensary maintains. You
would also find symptoms which
can never be cured by drugs, and
can be cured as the person who
suffers from them learns to change
his habits of thinking and of
emotional reaction.
The pains are just as real, the
sufferings are just as great, but
the real root of the SYMPTOMS lies
not in the body, but in the mind.
These SYMPTOMS must be treated by
psychotherapy, treatment of disease
by psychological laws and princi-
pies. Drugs can never do the trick.
Here is an illustration. Before
the first gathering for group psy-
chotherapy, on April II, 1880, Mrs.
D. had had a remarkable experience.
For three months she had been
i'll, and for six weeks of that time
had not felt able to do her bit of
housework and had been spending
most of her time in bed. The
house was not cleaned. No supper
was awaiting her husband when
he came home at night.
Although she felt scarcely able
to walk or even to stand, Mrs. D.
made herself travel from her part
of the city to the dispensary one
morning. She was carefully ex-
amined, and no signs Of organic
disorder could be discovered. Mrs.
DIS own words will tell what then
happened.
"Dr. Pratt said there was Moth
ing the matter with my back, so
I got up and walked" She had
been unable to walk without sup
port since Christmas because of
pain in the small of her back.
Local doctors had recommended
special corset or an operation,
but without any artificial aids or
any medicine Mrs. D. went mar

If you should go to the dispensary
unit Of the New England Medical
Center in Boston, Mass, some
morning about 9 o'clock you would
see one line of people eking pre-
liminary information from young
woman at the desk by the main en-
trance, new patients going one by
one to have their needs inquired in
to by the admitting officers, others
sitting on benches and waiting to
be called, and still others, many of
them in a long queue, making their
way to the cashiers cage to pay
their 50-cent fee and get their treat
ment ticket.

SOMETHING TO DO ABOUT
THE CRI

= HE NAAA
Three grains of quinine sulfate,
In tablet or pills sugar-coated or
chocolate-coated or in capsule,
every four hours for an adult, one
grain every four hours for child
weighing less than SO pounds, has
proved the most satisfactory self
treatment or home treatment for
so-called grip, the flu or the cri

infection in the early stages before
even a doctor can tell what it will
prove to be-or "cold" If you in

from our readers.
No one recognizes more clearly
than I do the fallacy of basing an
opinion upon testimonial or two.
On the other hand even the skeptic
must acknowledge the weight Of
such evidence when the verdict is
SO overwhelmingly positive. I am a
medical or therapeutic Skeptic. For
instance I don't believe digitalis is
worth a tinker's mound of sand in
any circumstances, because I have
1CtCA OCC1l dAAy CtAACAACS ou44AO4CAlb
to convince me that digitalis does
any good. I believe large or OPP
timal intake of vitamin B complex
(if the patient is able to take it)
or even synthetic vitamin B.
(thiamin) alone will really do for
the impaired what physicians have
long deluded themselves digitalis
can do.
Attempts to explain scientifically
how quinine works in the prophy-
laxis or prevention and the thera-
peusis or treatment of these all too
common respiratory infections are
not very satisfactory. For that mat
ter, there is no satisfactory scienti-
fic explanation for the prophylactic

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

Inc women, OOu bdcSS En-
SEE you, a woman is justified IN
wearing any harness or device or
makeup which may make her more
attractive to the male. Suppose she
contriveS to snare man by such
trickery, and after marriage he finds
how badly she has deceived him.
Will that make a happy marriage?
-(F. E. W.
Answer-Boy, you make me blush.
What I meant, however awkwardly
/ expressed 1t, was that a woman
should keep herself as attractive as
she can, if necessary using arti-
fees. Seems to me a man would
be a dumb geek to marry woman
without knowing her better than
that.
Walk After Breakfast
I walk to work most mornings. It
takes about As minutes, and Won
der what effect this has on the
stomach, right after breakfast
(E. s.
Answer-It promotes good diges-
ton and keeps you in better physical
and steadier nAvous condition.
Sulfuric Acid Fumes
Working in digester room in paper
mill, I get lungful of the fumes
Of sulfuric acid three or four times
a day. Is this harmful to the teeth
or the lungs? Will chewing tobacco
protect me against any harmful
effectS?-(H. ]. W)
Answers-It is merely slightly
irritating to the upper breathing
passages, not harmful to health or
the teeth.

she said, and from that moment she
entered again into life in a more
vigorous fashion.
That was more than ten years
ago. When seen last spring Mrs.
D. presented fine appearance of
health and vigor. Bad thought
habits of emotional reaction, pain
fIl conflicts in the mind and spirit,
repressions and completes, unad-
justments and Embellishments to
the conditions under which life
must be lived-these are responsible
for multitudinouS ills and suffer-

your bad mental and emotional

so as they learned the art of con-
trolling their thoughts and direct
ing them into new and better

 Principles
Program Committee Issues Statement for Gam
 pdign Talk

WASHINGTON, Feb. IT. = The Program Committee of the Re- publican Party has suggested the following major principles with which to go before the people in the Presidential campaign this year:
 The United States should keep out of war.
 Defense forces should be strength ened so as to protect the Western Hemisphere.
 Trade agreements should be sub- ject to the approval of Congress
 The National Labor Relations Act should be amended and the National Labor Relations Board overhauled
 There should be a farm program aimed at assuring the farmers of prices to be so related to those he pays and that the interchange d goods between the farm and city De increased.
 Government regulations of busi- ness should be protective and not restrictive.
 Government expenditures should be cut 20 percent.
 Higher surtaX on individuals should be reduced and Government and state bond issues should be taxed.
 Emergency presidential monetary powers should be repealed.
 Adequate relief should be pro- vided for all in need but the ad- ministration should be entrusted to local governments.
 Social security legislation should be studied with a view of improve ment and expansion.
