X-PRKSJDKNT WILSON is both E his faith tlmt the ideals of of unselfish service will eventually prevail, lie is wrong when ho ascribes America's present reluctance to assume that leadership to ignoble selfishness and cowardice. The point which it seems to us Mr. Wilson fails to grasp, is that the Armistice not only ended the war in Europe, it also ended those qualities of unselfish endeavor and exulted sacrifice, which accom panied the war. In other words, it is not so much America that failed since the close of the war as Europe. The nations of Europe today, almost without exception, ;.re not saruggling for the supremacy of right over wrong, they are struggling once more for mere selfish advan tage. From the North Cape to the Golden Horn, the various officials in control are working in a choking atmosphere of bitterness mid hate, for power. Depressed and disgusted by such, a spectacle, disillusioned, by the reaction from the war, the average American citizen has be lieved that to mix in such a mess, would not only fail to .advance any righteous cause, but would political scramble, alien to our nature and opposed to all our cher ished ideals. The American attitude will change when the spirit, of Europe changes; when, one might add, the spirit of the entire world changes. .So Mr. Wilson is on solid ground when he sees triumph of his principles at some future time. Uut when ho condemns the policy Df foreign aloofness, as a mere product of cowardiee and selfishness, his vision, we fear, is clouded by his personal bitterness, and his judgment impaired by his physical suffering and his political mis fortunes. , QUILL A juryman is a man who must Too nmny people think thrift muse gasoline is cheap.

And so I see the. village smile, when I go forth, all free from guile, and damsels fair and gaffers gray salute mo as I go my way. Tho other morning, to my door, there came a most offensive bore, lie said, "You're stacking high in town; yon havo a stainless, white renown.

"Just twenty seconds I will wait, to see you vault my garden gate," I said, in accents cold and stem; "and if you venture to return, I'll take a battle-ax of mine, and deftly cleave you to the chine."

Noted Physician and Author , Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to di sease diagnosis or treatment, will be self addressed envelope Is enclosed. Ink. Owing to the large number of hitters received, only a few can be an swered here. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to Instruc tions. Address Dr. William Brady, In care of this newspaper. lx;t It The wild animal sustains wounda and seta them heulcd very well with soinethiny that approaches Bcientific neglect, . The domestic dog . or cat practices a let alone policy with re markable success in the healing of woumla. ' Were It not for files and other In sect pests, dust and the accidental con tact of various ob jects, the ideal manage ment for any wound or sore would be exposure to tho uir. Indeed, such manage ment Is found most suc cessful in the treat ment of largo burns and other ulsers in institutions where it is annllcablo. Ordi narily so mcrv covering must be used to protect the wound. The paraffin wax treatment so much used for burns and large ulcers sinco the great war Is a valuable one in the hands of a surgeon. - For the layman applying first aid or attempting tho manage ment of a wound or sore at any time, a covering of some neutral, clean. nonadherent, material is best, such as a coating of petrolatum (petroleum Jelly) which has been freshly boiled to sterilize It, or an Impervious cover ing of flexible collodion if the wound surface Is dry enough for the col lodion to stick upon the edges, or a few overlapping strips of uuhandled adhesive plaster. In all treatment of cuts, wounds, burns, sores, or ulcers which o not demand the care of a surgeon, tho more rarely redressing Is done tho better for healing. If a wound or burn Is clean and aseptically (not an tlHeptically) dressed, it Is usually best not to remove the dressing within a week, or If possible not until 1 0 days, following aseptic or clean op erations, It is the general practice of surgeons nowadays, not to chango tho dressing within a week or more after tho operation. Nature takes care of tho healing, all right, if no impediment Is placed In tho way. If It is clean, surgically clean, let it alone.

Is there any physically detrimental ef fect from swimming every day? I mean for a young girl. Does it in any way impair a woman's natural femin ine charms? Does It tend, to make a woman less womanly or render her less fit for motherhood? (M. G. H.) Answer. No; on the contrary, it is one of the finest daily exercises a girl or woman can take to improve her health and appearance and make her better fit for motherhood. Test for Glucose Is there any way to test for sugar,! at nome: l hate to pay $2 every time the test is made. I am not to eat sweets nor much starch, because 1 have diabetes, and as t've had hives ever since i came to California three years ago, I must not take fruit. . . . (Mrs. W. D. L. ) Answer. You can make a qualita tive test for glucose (sugar) deter mine whether It is present lut scarcely a quantitative test deter mine how much is present. Benedict's solution is commonly used by diabetes patients for the test, when they are under the modern treatment. Fehl- ing'a solution is also used, tho' it Is probably not so satisfactory. Bene diet's solution consists of: , Copper sulphato - 17.3 grams Sodium citrate 173.0 grams Sodium carbonate (anhydrous) 100.0 grams Distilled water to make 1.UU0 c.u. (Druggists generally supply this so lution in any quantity without requir ing the formula.) For the test, place urine in tho test tube to the depth of an inch or two, and add eight drops of Uenedlct's solution; boll for two minutes, ullow it to cool. If sugar (dextrose, glucose) is present a red, yellow or greenish powdery sediment settles at the bottom. If no sugar is present the solution remains clear or meroly becomes turbid. Eating Too Aiiich Is the eating of too much sweets the cause of sugar diabetes? (Miss K. M. II.) Answer. Overeating is a common cause of diabetes; probably people who eat too much abuse the carbon y dm tea more than proteins or fats. Tho carbohydrates Include the starches of vegetables and cereals as well an tho sugars of sweets. for You is made of In the wax- and 1. 1 im r THE GKEATEKT THING - - WOULD . - r.y Laurel Cray Man flin IiiiiRTfwt, t fPflt inrriblv sorry lor one class of spinsters those -poor disappointed, doomed darlings who are seeking the perfect Man. It Is amazing now many of the" sisterhood there are.

It Is a curious truth that the more imperfections a human be ing is prey- to, the more perfect that individual expects his or her mate to be. I don't know what they call the complex, but it Is as' definite a typ-J as tho dizzy blonde and tho dyspeptic bachelor. Men simply are not gods, and the sooner a girl brings herself to tho realization of this gltltnring truth the much better time of it she is going to have in her picking and choosing.
