But the tax passed. It is now the law, -As. a, member of the losing. side we oppose both the suggestion of an, injunction against its opera tion, und the disposition on the part of the leaders. of the opposition to refuse to open the books showing a list of contribuions. If the law has weak spots, let these weaknesses, be remedied, Ample provisions have been made for such action. Or if anyone feols '.he. vote, at the recent election did not represent the will of the ma jority, let the people vote on the question again, at the next regular election, But don't invoke au injunction, Such. action would be poor sportsmanship and poor policy. , . As to opening the books, legal technicalities aside, this should cer tainly be done. The 'people are entitled, to know all there is to know about contributions to any political movement. , Refusing to do so merely amounts to a, public assumption of guilt,, Wo know nothing about the contributions to the anti-income tax fund, but we would be very much surprised to learn there was any- thing irregular regarding them. That substantial contributions were made by some wealthy individuals and some prosperous corporations, is highly probable, hut thero is nothing reprehensible in that. ' It is not, as yet, a crime to be prosperous. Business success is not, as far as we can learn, a moral wr.ong. The successful man has as much right to contribute to a campaign fund as the failure, and vicq versa, It is not the money, it is the way the money is used that counts, ' So let theliooks be opened. And let the books of the other side be opened. If these shameful appeals to class prejudices are to be put down, if this persistent demagoguery is over to be checked, sucty issues must be met by candor nnd courage, not by evasion and negation. Let the light in all around, and let the issue be fought out in the open and on the fucts. QUILL POINTS Personal Health Service By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. , Notad Phytician arid Author . jr.. Signed letter pertaining to personal health, and- hygiene, not to dfr sease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped. self addressed envelope la encloeed. Letter should be brief and written In Ink. Owing to the large number of letter received, only a few can be an swered here. No reply can be made to querlea. not. conforming to Instruc tions. Address Dr. William Brady, In care of this newspaper. Moisture and Comfort In Vicious Circles 8) Qod made the country, but man made the dangerous curves. Wopion, aro more efficient. , No man can handle a cold with four square inches of lace. As n detective we bat zero. The man we pick for a duke or diplo mat always turns out to be a floorwalker. Nothing else makes us so liberal hearted as the privilege of spend ing the other fellow's money. An unsophisticated child is one that will ask her mother for n oookie iustead of the butt of her cigarette. v You can manage to retain' some faith in humanity unless you be ome a hotel porter or a claim agent for a railroad. As every experienced porter knows, the man who monopolizes the loud tidk in tho smoker thinks ten. cents a generous tip. Correct this sentence: "You have. oomo. tOithe wrong plaoo,' snapped the solf-inado man ; "I never give advice." A man is old when the prospect of wearing knee pants and fuzzy stockings can't porsuado him to do useless walking about. V- - - - , - - ...4 f... i V: In, the course of tamo the sinner can get forgiveness from every body except his wife's relations. Wo 1 have moro faith in this scheme of hiring a doctor to keep you well if doctors never got sick. Now as always, the world's visible supply of advice is created by men who never ereato anything else. Dignity is a pretty good thing, however, for the man who has no other means of, hiding his craven spirit. ' Still, the girls of all ages have' maiuiged to be about what the men of all ages havo desired them t'o be. You nro always made, to feel that it is a private rond when- yon meet a pretty girl driving a fine car. An apartment house is just like an. old-fashioned flat exeept that the rooms arc no longer flat but perpendicular. THE MERITED REBUKE. I SAID to. Theophilus .Slaughter " You certainly give mo a pain; you ask for the hand of my daughter, Jemima Jerusa lem Jane. And yet, if reports can .bn trusted, you haven't the price of a hat; men say that yon always ore busted, and bank rupt and stony and flat. My daughter is. used to tho splendors that only the opulent share, nnd you eotildn't buy her suspenders or combs for her evergreen hair. Men say that your credit is sickly, nnd when you buy goods in the ktore, you dig up the ko pecks or quickly the clerks head you off at the door. And how could my daughter endure it t Iter credit's as good 8-s a queen's; tho coins of her father assure it, and sloe's novor asked for the beans. My daughter with horror would shive if (need by a ple beian stew ; ami sho would be lucky if li-r and onions were- fur nished by you.. This tosh about lovo in' a cottage will do in a: Jean Libby tttle, but soon it will seem tommy-rottage, if .hubby can't? bring homo the kale. It's useless, ( Theophilus Slaughter, the hopes of the busted are vain ; yon ca a not walk off with ay daughter, Jemima Jerusalem Jane." . It Is generally known' that a 'cold damp atmosphere Is much more chink ing or penetrating, feels much colder, than a cold dry atmosphere. Uke ,. wise a hot moist climate Is harder to bear than a hot dry climate. The ther mometer alone does not tell how severe the cold. The relative hu midity! the compar ative ' quantity of water vapor in the air has much to do with physical com fort and efficiency. Relative humidity is is exnressed"tn per centum. For in stance, ar with 70 per cent, htfmidlty holds seven-tenths as much moisture It Is 'capable of holding. The higher the temperature of the air the more moisture It Is capable of hold ing. ' Outdoor air at a temperature of zero Fahrenheit with a relative hu midity of - 60 ' per cent will have relative humidity of only 3 per cent when heated to 70 degrees F. This Is drier than the driest climate known. A dry climate Is seldonf less than 30 per cent humid. So, when we think of a tropical atmosphere, and of pneumonia and the other1 respiratory Infections which are tropical diseases, we must think of the great Indoors ot the average American home. Too warm, too dry, Too bad. Excessive dryness of the air in our houses, shops and other enclosures In the winter time causes excessive evaporation from. the. skin and mu cous membranes, and thla gives rise to the sense of chilliness, which prompts us to turn on still more heat, causing still worse dryness, calling for still more heat, etcetera, round and round, one of those vicious circles in which a hyglenlst delights. ' ' . Devices for supplying adequate moisture to tho heated air. ot build ings are fairly pra-Hlcal for ' large buildings but too expensive for private homes. Such makeshifts' as .'water boxes in furnaces, or evaporation-attachments for radiators are of little or no value for- this purpose. ' Growing plants In porous pots (not glazed or. metal jar) are much more effective, if kept in the room in num bers. Largo palms, ferns or other plants tend- to relieve and prevent "catarrh," keeping the atmosphere fairly moist. The simplest way to regulate the humidity of the indoor climate Is to keep the temperature, always below 68 . degrees Fahrenheit. At 66 to 67 degrees the relative humidity Is gen erally about right. Catarrh is caused by keeping good nnd -warm. People with a catarrhal I with asthma. tendency usually try to keep good and warm. This, of course, aggravates the catarrhal conditions, and this, turn well, another.. eddy. Beats all how you drift into these vicious cir cles whenever you- try to discuss hy giene! ' C : QUESTIONS AND., ANSWERS Vague on Migraine Read your articles first thing every day; in fact I subscribe to the paper In order to have your articles. ' My trouble Is migraine, of which you re cently wrote interestingly. The doc tors I have been to are quite vague on the subject of migraine. - Have lost the particular article, in which you told of prolonged use of castor oil In small doses, what doses and how long? What really causes migraine. I have had these attacks since the age ot 16 years. I am now 31 years old. I wear glasses two days a month. (Mrs. S. T. C. ) Answer. The castor'' oil treatment, which some good doctors have praised, calls for a dose of perhaps five to 10 drops of castor oil three times a day over a period ' of six months. Reduce the size, not the fre quency. of the doses if- the castor oil proves too laxative. Castor oil in soft capsules may be. had at the druggist's, If you prefer. After the Operation I have been using a lotion for after shaving and; for. chapped hands, made from a formula you printed last win ter. Since I have mislaid the, formula would appreciate It If you will reprint It. It contained some kind of chipB. and was the finest thing I had ever found. (L. A.X Answer. It, Is an. old domestic recipe for a lotion Intended to prevent and relieve chapping, .. redness and roughness of the skin; many readers have reported- satisfaction from its use as a lotion for 'the face after shaving. The recipe Is: , Boric acid 3 drams Glycerin 4 drams Tragacanth 80 grains Soft water 1 pint Tragacanth in shavings, chips or scales Is less likely to be adulterated than the powder. Boil slowly, con stantly stirring, until a clear fluid Is obtained; add enough water to make up for evaporation. The result should be a clear thin jelly, not. too thick to pour from a bottle. Use a few drops on the skin two. or three times a day, after washing and before the Bkln has dried thoroly. A drop or two of any perfume or scent may be added if de sired. ' - ' ''s Climate of.

I THANK you. The Cost of Illiteracy and the Value of Education Illiteracy Is not only, a serious bar to good citizenship, but It Is an obstacle to the Industrial and. agricultural ad vancement of a nation. Natural resources are worthless without education. Fertile soil, tim bered, water power, and mineral de posits lie idle or are ignorantly squan dered by an. Illiterate people. I Illiteracy Is costing the nation mil lions of dollars. The lnte Franklin. K. Lone, stirred by, the revelations ot the draft In .the. Great War, stated that if the productive labor value of an illit erate Is less by only 60 cents a day than that of an educated man or, wo man, the country was losing jsb.uoo, 000 a year through tlllteraoy. Illiteracy could, be swiped, out by a comparatively small expenditure, leav ing a net balance ot millions of dollars of national wealth. - . Our government gave to the million and a half men who were taken In) the first draft men from every state In nl,m nnd from every class or ioi of ability W people uu ttvuiu, read and write. n-i. .hia tot was given it was found that 1,566,011) men examined those who were unable to "read and understand newspapers and write let ters home" amounted to 25.3 per cent. We discovered, therefore, that at the time of the World War probably 20 per cent of our population could not use the English language as a vehicle for Information or expresstson. In the city, we find that the problem Is mainly that of the foreign borrt. Al ihmiffh nnlv 35.7 Dei cent of the Il literates in the whole country are for eign born, 67.8 per cent ot iiiueraica In the urban districts are foreign born. This large group of illiterates is com posed of those who can not write In any language. In addition to this class are those who can not read, write, or speak the English language. Both these groups are cut off from the possibility of of reading the news paper and from enlightening discus sion with their American neighbors on the street corner. The foreign born is condemned to the necessity of thinking In terms of the Old World. He can neither hear nor Bpeak, save through others. He may be exploited and plundered because of his helpless ignorance. He becomes the prey of both the labor agitator and of the un scrupulous employer. In mining, the most hazardous occu pation In Oils country, lack pf. ability to read the. English language is a tre mendous handicap. In 1919, Mr. Man ning, then director of the Bureau of Mines, stated that 466,ouu men in uw mining industry came from non-Eng-llsn. speaking races and that many of them were illiterate, lie stated-inm It these men were taught to read and write English it would be a tremen dous economic factor In the Industry through a reduction In the casualty list. ' Ah excess of 930 non-English speas Ing foreigners killed each year, and 1 mav sav unnecessarily. If the average state compensation la $3000, which is a fair figure, the total economic loss each year to the country through the excess of deaths of non-English speak ing miners alone amount to S2,790, 000. . On the same basis It 1b estimated that the excess of non-English speak ing miners Injured each year amounts to 69,750 men. This Is a loss In wages alone of $1,743,760. Taking the excess of dentliB and injuries together due to non-Emrlish speaking foreigners the economic loss each year reaches $4,- 633.750 This Is, entirely aside from the other. coBts to the Industry in pro duction cost." i Charley, Schnnb is generallr purty level houded, but when It comes t' dlNciiHHln' huppuM, we'd prefer I' listen t someUuilJj that don't live quite so close t Kosy street.

COMMUNICATIONS THE GREATEST THING, IN -SHE v- . ... woiu.ii i I,: i i' .i by Laurel Gray ' Duty. Whenever I hoar the word "Duty" I always think of soldiers, or firemen or policemen or, bell-boys. Tney are forever about to "go off duty," or maybe they are "Just going on shift." But real ly the word "duty" and all It implies, was de. vised- for lovers. The duty exacted by love Is rigid, Inelastic, incon trovertible. And love, my chil dren, will Bland no nonsense! You can't make one false move one dereliction of duty und get away with. It- Love Isn't running the world that way. The moment you fall In your duty to love for your Jack or your Jill, you havo to face that awful and Inexorable Judge your con science. Oh, I know folks who say their conscience CAN'T trouble them! But wait! You've no Idea how per- slBtent your conscience can be. They say that the Northwest Mounted Po lice will track a criminal over thous ands of miles of frozen wastes, expend untold money, men and machinery to capture the outlaw and fetch him back to justice. Why, that's a mere afternoon stroll on the ' boulevard compared to what your conscience will do to you. It's a fact! Half tho bad breaks In love associations are rented just because Jack forgot and Jill dldn t stop to think. Half the di vorces are actually brought about bv the silliest and most trifling acts or words. To do one's duty to a loved one ought to be automatic; It ought to oe munnged without conscious ef fort. But, alas, for weak and frail human beings. Temptations beset us mere IB a thoughtless moment i-uicirai Kesiure, a swiy word, an empty naif hour somehow or some where. And BANG!
