apple licked with the tongue, etc.
The suggestion treatment con-
sists in painting the warts with an
entirely inert coloring fluid. The
patient is told very imprcssivclv
that as long as any trace of color is
visible the warts are not to be
touched. The complete disappear
ance of the warts occurs in four TO
eight weeks with this innocuous
treatment in favorable cases.
The best form of physical treat
ment is by the x-ray. Simple APP
plications of certain ointmcnts are
often very efficacious.

ords of laborers who have learned
the diet and who have carried it out
over period of years. Young chit.
Grcn offer the most difficult prob

DR.. Thomas Marks, of Lexington,

Of one Of his little patients who
had been on the diet for several
months. This boy came into cor
ncr drug store with three of his
pIaymatcs. The playmates each
bought an ice cream cone, and this
little fellow showed no inclination
to obtain one. A travelling man
standing in the store noticed that
the boy did not have a cone and,
feeling sorry for him, suggested
that nc would be glad to buy one

him and said: Thanks, Mister,

problem is one that is by no means

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

w: what can be eaten to i'm
prove splitting tingcr-nails? Does
bUt;crmilk contain calcium? Are
calcium tablets harmful in any way
and would they help brittle nails?"
AnSwcr-Food has little to do
with the causation of brittle nails.
EltamIn-dclicient diet may tend in
this direction but we have little OK
detrimental proof Of this. Buttermillk

not helpful in brittle nails. Brittle
mails are, in most eases, due to an

Rev. Lee To Preach
On War And Bible

The Rev. James R. Lee, pastor
OF the Sixth street Advent Chris
tan church, will S p e k Sunday
night at 8 pm. on the subject,
This War and the Bible"
He said, Il will produce state
ments from leading fundamental
students of the Bible dating as far
back as 1927 that describe this war
perfectly and that set forth many
OF the technical aspects now before
our eyes and ears.
The present diplomatic align.
rnent and coming violent struggle
OF all the pagan nations against the
Christian nations is no shock to BIZ
Bile students. God has called the
names of these nations in the Bible
and has told us exactly what they
would do and how they would do it.
Upon the same principle of proph-
etc Interpretation we are in posi-.
ton to know the outcome of this
struggle.
"a universal negligence in the
study of the Bible, failure on the
part of teachers to teach it, and on
the masses to hear it has produced
a tremendous mistake in that it
has allowed us to think of this
struggle as being between various
forms of government. 1t is truly a
struggle between two great forces
that are known as paganism and
Christianity to the Bible student.
There is no excuse for this ig.
norance when the very names oil
the pagan nations are told in the
Bible in our own language and thai
has been translated into more thar
a thousand languages and dialect.
throughout the world. 1t is high
time that we all as hierarchy, min
istry and laity turn again our eyes
to the word of God that reveals
