Anyone can mark a ballot at this election in three seconds. There are 12 hours in which to do it. Three seconds out of over 400, 000 is rather a small average when one comes to think about it. The secret ballot is necessary, but secrecy surrounding a list of .'hose who go to the polls is not necessary at all. In fact, nothing would do more to advance the cause of good government than to publish after caeh election the names of those who voted, j Then the franchise slackers would bo known. And it would be in teresting to know them. For there is no reason to believe that many of those who cuss the government the liardest, do the least to deter mine wliat tneir government should do. . , . A law. allowing only those who vote, the sacred privelege of finding fault with election results, would contribute mightily to bet ter citizenship und to the advancement of public peace and tran quility, j v Personal Health Service By WILLIAM BRADY, M.

If a slap on the back encourages him, lie is climbing; if it in sults him, he has arrived. But think how unhappy Harvey will be when he can be indiscreet without anybody caring a darn. The next congress will be much like those of the past, except for a slight Russian accent. The modern wet who shrieks for liberty or death can patronize a bootlegger and have both. Under 30 a little fat, just a nice 7 per cent excess weight, say, keeps 'em young and happy. After 30 every little pound added to what you really ought to carry helps to hurry you on to the grave. The way I dwell on this might mean that I delight In worry ing fat folks. I don't. I'm partial to fat folks, like a Turk, up to a reasonable point. I am with 'cm and for 'em as long as they do not exceed that point. I'm will ing to concede that It is good nature, a kind of laugh and grow fat spirit that carries 'em up to the point I have in mind. They're still amenable to earnest may feel he can afford. Everybody must decide for himself how much his own life, health or happiness, or what may remain of them, are worth to him, and choose his course accord ingly. I believe that six miles of oxy gen on the hoof is very cheap medi cine at all costs; as a rule the less one feels he can afford it the more good he derives from the medicine. Altho suitable exercise in fair doses is about the best preventive against abesity, the remedy is not a cure; so my advice is walk It off before It gets you. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Is Mr. Billings Present? I noticed that under the heading, "Don't Avoid Food," you advised young mother to eat all the food '.hat came her way. It seems this woman WflM eiiffoflntr frnm rhtiilmntlam nnri warnings. They can, I mlght b8 du0 to too much ncld If they will, come back with the help of a little sympa thetic counsel and" Instruction. But I wash my hands of 'em when they contlnuo headlong right on past em bonpoint. Once they've drifted be yond that they grow 111 naturod, hy persensitive and tochy and I have found it better to lot thorn severely alono. Touching and appertaining to the cantankerous disposition of heedlessly fat folk, I have a theory, or perhaps it is a mere conjecture, that -this n her system, and you might have offered some kind of remedy and a proper diot, and not "everything that comes you way." That would include certain acid forming food with starch material. In ' my estimation you neither helped this young mother nor relieved her mental anxiety. I am writing to criticise and learn. (W. K. D.) Answer. Tour fancy that any of the disease conditions which mas querade under the name of "rheuma tism" may be caused by too much change of disposition which is so Bcld , the y8lcm ba8ed on nothlns We know at last. The Sphinx represents a vice-president who was elevated to the presidency. Fake diamonds tell their own story. They are seldom accompa nied by sufficient sound sense to earn genuine stones. If he can take two small fragments of truth and make a large convincing lie, he is a propagandist. When a man says ho is standing by the Constitution, he generally means that he is hiding behind it. The president's sileneo imposes an unbenrahlo strain on those who stand waiting with hammers poised. The reason some people never discover the secret of success is be cause it is secreted in the sweat glands. It's strange how many altruistic friends wish to advise a widow who has a nice bunch of insurance money. Tho League isn't an impotent organization. It stands ready to correct any nation that dares to lie little. Still, if a woman has an artistic temperament, she might as well spend tho time on her face instead of working that kind of sofa pillows. Lot's; not have any more European lecturers until they can think up a new way to tell us Europo needs America. A tactful doctor is one who tickles your vanity by assuring you that your slight disorder is something serious. As a general thing, people who have chips on their shoulders have no other weight above tho shoulders worth mentioning. Old-fashioned sermons on hell wero at least moro thrilling than these modern sermons on the Teutonic influenco on Lapland psychology. Correct this sentence: "The boss gavo me somo of his lip today," boasted the husband, "and what I told him was a glorious plenty." Correct this sentence: "I meant to go to Sunday school last Sun day," said he, "but the church was packed and I couldn't get a scat." it. 'vr RipplirtgRhqmos FAIR BUT FOOLISH. MY STEP-NIKCK is a beauty, the fairest in tho kiul; tho young men call her Cutio, and she's in great demand. Sho drives around vith "Willie in Willie's gaudy wain, and all sho says is silly, and all i ho does is vain. You never see her reading tho works of E. P. Rte; you never seo her kneading a lump of wholc Bomo dough j you never see her sweeping, or making windows bright, or diligently keeping the homo fires all alight. And yet she has, dodgast her, suitors six or eight; I weep when I contrast her with my step-cousin Kate. This latter is a winner, the kind I most respect; and she can cook a dinner that's gorgeous and correct. And sho is always dusting, or darning things of mine, she keeps the spoons from rusting ami makes the windows shine. And sho would be a treasure as any young man's wife; she'd fill with wholesome pleasure tho struggling workman's life. But Kate, whom I've respected since childhood long ago, is lonesome iid neglected, and never lands a beau. Her chances still di minish as go the days so fleet; we'll see her at tho finish, in somo Old Maids' Retreat. "And now the motors tooty come honking to my gate, and young men call for Outie, and bless her as they wait. striking may bo caused by a kind of poisoning, something In tho nature of autointoxication. Of course autoin toxication Is itself a mere hypothesis. a theoretical state. Still. I feel satis fied in my own mind that frankly if not irrevocably fat folks are short of temper because they are virtually doped all the time with the by pro ducts of Incomplete combustion. We know this much, that most out sizo people have a slow metabolism, suboxldation or an inadequate sup ply of oxygen to their tissues. Now isn't this leading up beautifully to the ulterior object of our talk today? If thero Is anything in this autointoxi cation Inference of mine, it follows that, a more liberal oxygen ration would ydo the shamelessly fat folks a lot of good and make them much easier to got along with. Iiefore we approach a line nearer the limit of our space let me now postulate the principle that an aver age dally ration of six miles of oxy gen on the hoof if by all odds the beat preventive and the least satis factory euro for obesity In general. Ladies and gentlemen of too much substanco and leisure should have a that you can find in physiology or pathology. If you will mention which foods are "acid forming with starch material" I'll bring them to the atten tion of the physiologists who evi dence haven't learned about them yet. If I could have told the young mother precisely what she should or should not eat I would have done so. In ad vising her to eat everything that camo her way and deny herself no particu lar food or food because of a fancied "acid forming" effect, I believe I gave her sound advice and I beg to refer you to the works of Josh Billings. Cancer Not Communicable Is cancer contagious? I work along side a person who has cancer of thj stomach and whose father died with cancer. Am I in danger? (K. G. O.) Answer. No danger. Cancer is not communicable. Rcsorcln What objection, If any. Is there to the continuous use of resorcin In a solution for dandruff and olliness of the scalp? (Mrs. M. E.) Answer. I know of none, except that resorcin sometimes stains white or very light hair a yellowish color. A lotion or solution containing 10 thought how they feed, yes, but if i grains each of resorcin and salicylic they want to stay happy and young ! acid to the ounce of witch hazel ex they've simply got4o-perambulate, for tract or cologne water or any. toilet hiking Is the best all around exer-j water or graim alcohol; " ruoba'd-into else there Is available, daily in every ( the scalp by parting the hair here and season and all weather. A good six miles of It, pedomctered, Insures the absorption of an amount of oxygon ample to prevent all; ordinary degrees of autointoxication. . Walking is too dangerous and too expensive for many who need it most. Whoever thinks so must resign him self to tho doubtful gratification of such other kinds of exercise as he there, is excellent for excessive oill- ness, but the tendency to stain the hair yellow should be . remembered and the resorcin discontinued if the yellowness begins.
