What Is Segregation?

segregation is the special Amer
lean means Of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public status.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality of citi-
zenship, Of freedom Of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial Of
presence and of service In places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as having been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn of
civil society.
"It is a very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves to aid and abet the idea by
Self-segregation."

 High ranking morale officers from the War Depart rnent met on Governors Island, New York, recently to discusse the best methods of establishing high morale among the folks at home
 Mai. Gen. Robert o. Richardson, in charge of the Public Relations Bureau of the War Department in Washington, pointed out that families of young men called into military service were hearing many ao- verse stories about life in army camps. and though
 most of the stories about poor food and bad housing were untrue the families were disquie.ed by the ru- mors just the same.

ONION FOR WART ON THE SOLE
 Onion and garlic, like makeup and perfume, are all right when used with discretion. So far as remedial effects are concerned there is no good evidence that either onion or garlic or a derivative of onion or garlic has any. Not that they do any harm, if you don't mind the aroma.
 am fabbergasted to learn that at least one doctor prescribes onion nevertheless. Here is a report sent in by reader:
 My twelve year old boy was bothered with wart on his sole for several months. I asked the doctor about 1t. He said to put applications of raw onion direct- ly on the wart until 1t came out. We did this. A few days before 1t came out 1t became very pain full to walk on, so we applied a large bunion pad over the wart, which kept pressure of from the wart when he walked. The wart came out, and has not returned nearly year now. The doctor said raw onion is good also for corns and bunions, but we have not tried 1t for anything else"
 Bunion is 6 partly dislocated great toe joint, covered, perhaps, with an irfiamed or infected bursa or Iubricating pad. Usually the head of the metatarsal bone is en- larged. Obviously no medicine can cure such a conditior-only surgery will cure bunion.
 Wart on the sole often becomes embedded under a ring of callus. This callus must be softened and removed before a remedy can be applied effectively to the wart. Painting the callus daily with the familiar corn medicine-solution of thirty grains of salicylic acid in one- half ounce of flexible collodion-- will soften 1t in 8 week or more so that it may be scraped or wiped away. Then apply either a ring of several thicknesses of adhesive plas- ter around the wart, or a so-called burior plaster, to keep pressure off from the wart. Then either continue applying the corn remedy daily to the wart or, better, have 1t ful- gurated (sparked) or electro-des- sicated, or destroyed with X-ray or radium by the doctor.
 Relief for Allergy
 About three months ago I sent for your advice on the use of potassium chloride, followed 1t, obtained eX- traordinary relief from an allergic condition that several doctors failed to help. Now 1t is recommended that I substitute coated tablets that dissolve in the intestine.
 tF. IT. p
 Answer-That would invite intes- tinal cramps, from the irritation produce dby the concentrated chem ical when the coating is dissolved and perhaps there is little fluid present to dilute 1t. Only soluble potassium chloride tablets should be taken, and these must be dis solved in plenty of water to avoid needless irritation of stomach. Any reader with allergy may have copy a pamphlet Relief for Allergy" on request. Inclose stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Wheat Germ
 Would five large tablespoons of wheat germ cooked for breakfast be too much for two adults?
 (Mrs. E. W. A.)
 Answer-No, nor for one adult If the individual likes 1t.
