GET READY FOR WINTER

Here comes winter. In a very
short space of time a large part of the
country will be experiencing rainy
days and cold nights. And not far a.
way are the months of SNOW and sleet
and storm.
Winter is something to get ready
9or. That means buying new warm
clothes, or repairing and cleaning old
ones. It means buying wood and coal
and fuel oil. 1t means fixing that leaky
spot in the roof that has been neglected
during the dry summer. And finally,
to the wise householder, it means TAX
ing special precautions against a des-
troyer that waits for winter-fire.
Have your furnace inspected
and have that inspection done by some
body who knows what 10 look for. It's
no work for an amateur. Have needed
repairs effected at once. See that
chimneys and flues are properly clean
ed. Hard pressed heating plants in
bad order are one of the most prolific
sources of home fires. It's no fun to
wake up in the middle of the night and
suddenly realize that your house is
burning away beneath you.
Winter means that you'll use
lights oftener. Exposed electric wiz
ing should be checked. Pay special at
tention to lamp cords under rugs and
around baseboards-they fray in time.
and when that happens a short circuit
may occur. Electricity, mishandled, is
one of fires potent allies.
Go through your whole house and
get rid of any and all accumulations--
old clothes, old papers and magazines,
collections of rags, etc. They make a
fine starting place for fire and spon-
taneous ignition isn't so rare a pheno-
menon as you may think.

STUDENTS SAY NO
LOGICAL ARGUMENT
AGAINST Bird TERM

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Amer
lean history and others interested
in political trends and the discus
sion on a third term for President
Roosevelt agreed after a confer
ence here this week, that the much
talked '3rd term had no place in
this campaign, SO far as colored
voters 7 concerned.
A few students from Howard
University, who declined to permit
the use of their names, issued a
Joint statement to newspapermen,
in which it was declared that Geo.
Washington found it wise to avoid
any commitment on the question
of the number of terms q President
should spend in office.
From files in the Congressional
Library, it was earned that Wash
ington once said: Il can see TO
propriety in precluding ourselves
from the services of any man, who
in some great emergency, shall Re
deemed, universally. most capable
of serving the public
The diligent students also quot
ed the late President Grant, who
said: at may happen in the fut-
ure history of the country thai to
change an Executive because he
has been 8 years in office will
prove unfortunate, if not disas-
trous."
The checkup by the students
placed advocates of Wendell Will
kie behind "the 8-ball', according
to campaign workers for President
Roosevelt.

WELL EARNED PRAISED FOR
RETAILING

Just before the recently held "Na-
tional Retail Demonstration Week."
the President of the United States
wrote a letter to the head of one of the
leading retail associations. In that let
ter. he said: "Your observance last
year took place shortly after the out
break of tragic hostilities in Europe.
At that time | said it was essential, be-
cause of this new situation, to prevent
any general rise in prices that would
absorb purchasing power and block
expansion of sales volume. All of us
can look back with pride now on the
nations retailers as well as other seq
ments of our economic life in prevent
ing a price boom.
"The need to keep prices in check
is as strong, if not stronger, than it
was a year ago. Prevention of any run
away rise in the cost of living is an i'm
portant phase of total national defense.
Because of the enlightened conduct of
the nations retailers last year, I am
confident they will discharge their re-
sponsibility as well this year."

I'll LOW DOWN FROM
GROVE

If you have ever been out west you
have seen a hound-dog tearing up the
landscape, chasin' a jack rabbit. The
whole performance, so far as can re-
search it out, is just a dogs idea of do
ing something, useless. No dog would
get any real enjoyment gnawin' on a
lean and tough jack rabbit, if he ever
caught one-which he usually don't.
But the human mind is half the
time kinda single track too, like a
hounds. We tear out lickety4split at
the drop of the hat on most any jack
rabbit political excursions that some
body will talk up. We never like it
where we are-we want to be else
where.
If som person tells us that the
grass is greenest on his side, we don't
rest until We find out. And after we
do find out and get our vest busted off,
we are a good prospect for the next a.
gent.
Maybe the next time, the pasture
really will be greener-anyway it won't
be worse, this time.
Yours with the low down,

WOMEN AND LIFE INSURANCE

Women, according to we'll SULTAN
tiated legend, know a good thing when
they see it. And that seems to be true
when it comes to building up savings,
no less than in buying clothes ordecor-
ating a home.
More than 1900 900 women are
owners of life insurance. In a recent
year about 20 per cent of all life insur-
ance purchases were made by the fair
sex. That is a very high proportion
when you think that, ever in these
days of equal rights, the great major
ity of wage are still men.
The ladies deserve praise for their
foresight. For no n ever devised an
ecouomic protection for the individual,
male or female, half 80 effective,
safe and certain as life insurance.

UTILITIES DISTRICT
INSTALL NEW CASH
TER CAGES

Four new modern cashier cages
that provide customers with better
facilities for paying their service
bills, and facilitate the work of the
tellers, have been built in the first
floor sales room of the Metropol-
itan Utilities District. They were
put into use Saturday morning,
September %.
The cages have a wide marble
ledge for convenience of custom
ers on which they may rest their
bundles, handbags and purses and
count change. Lighting of the
cages and adjacent area has been
improved by installing f%lourescent
daylight units In the cages and
large indirect units overhead. The
new lighting prevents eyestrain
for both customers and the t%ellers.
In each cage, the teller is also pro-
vided a modern postude chair Civ
ing greater comfort and helping to
speed up the work of waiting on
customers.
Modern, electrically powered
cash registers record payments re-
ceived, issue receipts and furnish
{. daily total. This also increases
efficiency and speeds up customer
service.
The private office of A. c. An
derson cashier, adjoins the teller's
cages. making him available proni-
pity for consultation in regard &c
customers bills or to answer ques-
tons about services.

81 HAVE been asked by several
readers to give more details con-
corning the Use Of kaolin in the
treatment of irritable colons.
kaolin is kind of earth or mud,
product of the erosion of igneous
rock. Chemically it is aluminium sill
icate. Its use in medicine was bor-
rowed from the Chinese who used it
both in making pottery and in treat
ing cholera. Medical missionaries
were impressed with its value in the
treatment of the epidemic of cholera
in China in 1919. 1t was given by

Medicine From Mud
Chinese Used KooIin Against Cholera
By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

is DR.. Rhinehart with the value OF
calcium in colitis that he gives 1t in
the form of calcium salts, not de-
pending on the amounts ordinarily
obtained in the natural diet. 1t IS
absorbed best on any empty stom-
ach so he gives about 80 grains be-
fore each meal, and advises a wait
of half an hour before putting food
in the stomach.
The need for calcium IS also OBJ
tanned by ultraviolet radiation and
exposure to sunshine. Colitis may
occur with either diarrhoea or con-
stipation and there is also boating,
discomfort in the abdomen and lack
Of appetite.
DR.. Rhinehart does not stress the
psychologist treatment of these pa
tents, but it is quite important.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E. R. S.: "Will you please state
in your column the number of cal
cries a day a housewife, sixty years
old, should use to prevent gaining
flesh?"
Answer: 1t depends on height
and weight, but in general, at sixty
years of age, not more than 1900 q
day.
H, J, c.: "I took a cold a few
weeks ago and l have lost my taste
and smell. Nothing l eat has any
flavor. Will this be permanent or
will the taste and smell come back?"
Answer: They undoubtedly will
come back, but when the infection
is severe, the taste and smell buds
are knocked out often for several
weeks.
NJ. L. W.: "Do you think a spe-
cial diet and rest in bed will be any
help for thyroid glands that are
underwriting, a condition which
has affected the muscles of the
hearth"
Answer: Rest in bed is always
indicated for muscles Of the heart
that have become damaged. You say
that the thyroid gland is UNDER
working, by which l judge you
mean you have what is called
"myXoedema heart" Besides rest
in bed and a light diet, your doctor
may advise the use Of thyroid ex-
tract.

seven pamphlets which can be obtained by

droxide to kaolin makes mixture
that is very valuable in all forms of
Lucrative colitis. Aluminium n.y.
droXide is now used extensively in
the treatment of stomach ulcer. 1t
is astringent and also neutralizes
the excessive acidity present in
these cases. Many patients with
ulcer carry around a bottle Of
tablets of soda bicarbonate and
some other alkali and those who
have tried aluminium hydroXlde like
it better than the soda tablets.
In Lucrative colitis a mixture of
equal parts of kaolin and aluminium
hydroxide, one to three ounces each,
is dissolved in five ounces Of warm
water. This is used as a retention
enema. One or two treatments a
day for a week or two are usually
sufficient to relieve symptoms.
Calcium Aid
Another form of treatment in
Eases of colitis and other intestinal
lpsets is recommended by Dr.. Bar
ion Rhinehart. 1t is a diet low in
potassium and high in calcium.
Milk, either cows or goats milk.
with heavy doses Of Nitamins-A
IN fish oils; B in yeast, C in liver or
fresh milk and G in fresh meat, are
stressed. A high proportion of pro-
tein as obtained in milk, cheese, eggs
and meat is obtained in this way
and the doctor thinks it is a gooC
thing.
The calcium is given when the
stomach is empty, and so impressed

TO EXTEND BLOCKADE

LonGon, Nov 13.-(UP)-Britain is expecting to declare an extension of the blockade to include large part of the French Colonial Em- pire. 1t was said officially today.
 "On and after Monday" the Brit- ish ministry of economic warfare announced today, "all ships sailing to and. from Syria, French West Africa, Liberia. Portuguese Guiana, Madagascar ard Reunion Island must obtain ship navicerts."
 (Navicerts are certificates issued by the British authorities at pol ts Of chipment allowing ships to pro- ceed on their voyages without being subject to search by British naval units on the high seaS)
 The ministry emphasized that failure to comply with the navicert regulations would render the owner, charterer and master of ship lia- ble to blacklisting. Such listing would deny the ship and all parties concerned access to all British con- trolled shipping facilities throughout the world.
