I am not discussing Prohibition por so. It may be-'un excellent thing in theory. Thoro irmy bo nothing better than to niako men strong by taking away their temptations.

HOOTING DOWN THE BIBLE. rp HE NEW labor government A terilny because its undersecretary of the air opposed an increase in the imperial air force. . To support bis stand, the tinder defended his action on the principles of the Christian religion. According, to press dispatches hooted this declaration. Members went that if tho "Empire is to Mount, God help the Empire!" There we have a striking example of the eternal conflict between theory and practice, between idealism and pragmatism, and also con elusive evidence that so called Christian nations' are not Christian in fact, that the principles of action and conduct, outlined in the New Testament, are not now and never have been accepted 'by any world power in its relations with another It would be interesting if the to. prevail. No one knows what literal Christianity, diplomatically applied would do, for the experiment lias never been tried, So there is some ground for the assumption, that it could do no worse than the pagan diplomacy, so universally accepted. . , But the risk is too great . Great Britain for over a year has been forced to yield to France, because Franco has the largest army and the largest air force in Europe. With her fleet virtually powerless from air attack, the only escape fom complete defeat and humiliation is, .lie thinks, to build up an air fleet that can present something like a decent defense. This is not following Christian precepts of non-resistance. Tt is not returning good for evil. But it is the only practical procedure in the world, as it is. ' ,r Perhaps in a thousand years, Hie human race, will discover that back in 1021 a certain British labor leader had the right idea. But until this discovery is made, so-called civilized nations,, eager to sur vive, will continue to preach Christianity on Sunday and practice something else tbe rest of the week. ,';';..

When I sat down I felt as fine as ever in my life; "I wish such buoyant health were mine," deelared my jealous wife.

It, indicates a spavined lung, and abscess of the spleen. Is thero a ringing in your ears, are you annoyed by chills? You soon will go to other spheres unless you tako my pills."

Cold and Grip Tablet CeuU Personal Health Service By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D- Noted Phytieian and Author There la as much misunderstanding about tho management of frostbite as there Is about the significance of the stain or discoloration of the skin by jewelry. -A. reader sent me the formal pronounce ment of a physician Jvho opined that the Btain from some gold Jewelry signi fied a dirty skin and the remedy was more time and ef fort in the bath tub. But any. school boy who has stud ied a little chemia t r y a n d every school boy ought to study chemistry- knows how ridiculous the doctor's notion la, for some of the beat gold will discolor or stain the skin of our very beat people, if the gold alloy happens to contain some silver, say, which reacts with the sulphur com pounds in the skin oil or sweat of a healthy individual to form silver sul phld. That's what happens to silver tnrniahed by egg yolk More need of a little chemistry in the common school course. More need of a little pbyaiology there, too, to neutralize tho fiBhioiogy which the layman has crammed down his throat on all oc casions. I'm warming up- for the proper first aid management of a case of frostbite Let's play you'vo coddled yourself along for years until you're pretty soft, and now being caught outdoors without your complete heat ing apparatus on a snappy day you're frozen your, cheek or your ear. It first tingled with the cold, then it grow numb, and somebody noticed how blanched and white it looked. Tho traditional or almost classical thing to do, of course, is to rub it like everything with snow. But let's suppose it is such a mild winter that thero is no snow handy. Wouldn't that be a dreadful predicament, in deed? Traditionally, yes, I suppose it would, but practically it would be all right. No snow is necessary. No cold is necessary. Just use some petroleum jelly or cold cream or sweet oil or anything that will servo as a simple lubricant, and gently knead and massage the ear or cheek until tho blanching disappears and then quit and call it a day, for you'vo done quite enough and if you rub just a little too much you II cause moro trouble than you're alining to prevent. As for the use of cold in the re lief of frostbite,' there is absolutely nothing but tradition to support that idea. Perhaps it grew out of tho observation that a little too much "JUST TOWN TALK" 4 Ospled Right Hj Mike Dour "Town Talk:" V ' ' Why.

That is the danger of overdoing the thing-. abrasion of the skin and infection .and a subsequent Inflammatory reaction. The first rule in the first aid for frostbite Is, don't get excited. Keep cool but don't freeze to death, for there Is no advantage in overdoing the thing in that direction either. , i - : QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS , Sage Advice ' :' Kindly print your advice regarding the use of Bage leaves for darkenlrig the hair.

I was told by some one who was informed by a specialist. (Miss H. B. E.) Answer.

Thruout the building there is a strong odor as of dead rats in the walls. . Is thero any danger of contracting di sease from such a condition, and can you suggest a way to remedy the trouble? (L. P.) Answer. No danger of contracting disease. I know of no remedy except time, and a good cat to see that rats do their dying out in tho open here after. i Government literature Please tell me where to apply for the government literature on mater nity and child care.

B. and wore told you would have to leave Detroit for the winter, which of the following places would you go to Albuquerque, Silver City, Bermuda, Florida, Colorado, or San Antonio? (d R. R.) Answer.
