PIllKCESS HEIIMINK I1AKKI) IN MOVE FOR OKIIMAX TJIKOM4 (Hdlino fcfr Examiner). Kino weath er for It." V P. RESIDENT POIXCARR'S latest restrictions on the proposed re exuniination of Oermun reparations really are not as alarming :is they Bound. , n For while they show France is not friendly to Secretary Hughes' proposal, this fact was evident from the outset. The important point is to have such a conference held, for regard less of the technical obstacles, nothing can prevent such a conference from clearing the muddled and hostile atmosphere, with which the question of reparations is surrounded. What the world wants, what all fair-minded people want, is light. There is a xtrong disposition in this country, to regard all statements from the countries particularly interested, as mere propaganda. What America wants are the facts. Regardless of the official status of the proposed conference, there fore, whether its findings are merely advisory or mandatory, really makes little practical difference, for out of the gathering, it is almost certain, the main facts will eventually ainergo. So the disposition io London to condemn Poincare for his Sunday "sermon" appears somewhat needless and ill-advised. Far belter to accept the French president's restrictions gracefully, proceed to the conference and let nature take its course. Such a conference can't possibly make conditions worse across the water. And there is an excellent chance of such a conference making them better. So let's have it. And not waste time and energy in squabbling over the precise conditions under which it is to bo held.

Wisconsin Two Kivers, because of the location on peninsula extending seven miles into Ltiko 'Michigan. States not mentioned In the list either have no hay fever resorts or, if they claim such places, the relief af forded is so problematic that I omit them as poor bets. Any movo to find relief from hay fover is more or loss a gamblo until tho victim has tried it for himself. Of course, It all depends on getting away from the particular pollen-which may be responsible in tho given case. Sometimes the simplest way to do this is to visit a largo city, remain In tho heart of It, where no weeds flour ish unless perehanco In somo vacant lot. A sea voyage temporarily leaves the pollen far behind, or a great hikes voyage, or a sojourn in a mountain resort at considerable altitude, or the victim may just -pray hard for a long heavy rain, which washes the pollen out of the air and brings relief for days, If ono can't afford to travel or live away from home and can't persuade tho rain to come, my best bet would be the use of warm boric acid solu tion (teaspoonful to pint of boiled water) as a nasal spray and a gargle three or four times daily and a good doso of calcium chloride or calcium lactate Internally three times a day after meals throughout the season. A good dose is half a teaspoonful of either the chloride or the lactate, well dissolved in a glassful of water. If this does not disturb the stomach, it often proves a valuable relief. Peoplo who really suffer seasonal hay fever ought, to bo tested with pol len extracts to determine what Is re sponsible and then Immunized against tho responsible, pollen 'before the sea son arrives. This, any. good doctor can do. ' ' - QUESTIONS A XT) ANSWERS. Children Wanted. Yes, we have no bambinos; we think seriously of adopting some, ,say a small baby girl to begin with. Where would you suggest we should look for one? What blood tests or other pre cautions would you advise o make sure the baby Is free from inherited taint or disease ?D. . S. Answer Your modest want may bo filled almost anywhere. Lucky you don't crave a boy bimbo. Get In touch with a city maternity hospital, orphan asylum or maybe a Salvation Army officer. Have your physician givo the child an examination before you proceed with adoption. (Parents of girl babies please do not bo In-q dignant. I frankly concede that girl bubics are just grand when you can t have boys). Calories. How many calories does one burn or consume by walking a mile In the open air? Does uphill or downhill make any difference? How much food value In a glass of natural but termilk? D. M. Answer From 200 to GOO calories, according to your weight, manner of walking, swinging arms, etc. This is just my estimate. I know of no AND I nsked him .

He Is very high' strung and temperamontal, but willing to try. Ho uses the left hand, for everything. His father Is a very fine lti 'handed, ( wijer, but backhand. I, his mother, was natu rally left handed, but was forced to change to right handedness when I entered school. I was not 'so thor oughly left handed as he Is Mrs, J. H. O. Answer A child who has a naturnl preference for the use of the left hand in writing or other fine work, should not be forcibly changed to right handedness. There are many In stances of stuttering apparently caus ed by forcible change; I believe but cannot prove that such forced change is likely to make a person neurotic. When Dentists Dlsnsreo. Our dentist says my teeth would havo lasted longer if when I was very young I had had four of my jaw teeth extracted, to keep the teeth from being so terribly crowded that it Is almost Imposslblo to clean between them. Mrs. W. J. A. Answer Some people still believe the best way to save teeth is to havo them extracted. But the better den tists now carefully fill cavities in baby teeth instead of extracting.

We receive an en graved card through-the malls, - and we flutter about buying o, i)lfty gift, and the fatal words are pronounced. Cheer up, my brave "locomotive Fire man," and steer clear of 'em while they are in thoir silly season. Thanks, too, for your letter.
