seemed lesson enough for till time,
but it was not. 1 Tho warlords were
beaton, but there remained the diplo

politicians. Tho men of words took
up tho work of tho men who fight
with swords. Tho orator took tho
place of the general. Tho generals
had reached the point of exhaustion,
but there Is no exhaustion of tho

WILSON'S ARMISTICE DAY SPEECH.
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. ,

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.

makes you weak; others, thin. 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.
