WHO WILL THE DEMOCRATS NAME
WILLIAM (i. McADOO'S eminence as a Democratic enndi
iliite dues not proceed from any inherient superiority, but
iVnin tlie fliilnesH of tlm Kurroiinilinif country.
If there were any Democratic candidates available comparable to
Cleveland and Wilson in bye-gone years, Mr. McAdoo, with bis oil
.-pattered halilimeiits would be dropped like a hot cake, lint there
arc none.
Therefore the McAdoo movement refuses to down, and unless
something very unexpected happens, Mr. Dobeny's special counsel
will enter the New York convention with a substantial lead over his
nearest opponent. ''
lint this does not mean a McAdoo nomination 'by any means. In
fact, as a sporting proposition, the former Secretary of the Treasury
has only about one chance in ten of landing the prize. This is un
doubtedly a chance worth striving for, but it does not alter tho fact,
that in all likelihood a dark horse n very dark horse will win the
Democratic nomination.
Who-will the dark horse be? Ah, there is" a very interesting
question. Certainly it won't be Al Smith, it won't be Heed, it won't
be Davis, it won't be Underwood, for with any of these candidates
the Democrats would be beaten before they started.
The candidate with any chance to win must be liberal, he must be
untainted by Teapot Dome, he must be far enough removed from
Wall Street to satisfy the followers of labor and the farm Moo, and
probably he will, have to be dry enough to satisfy William Jennings
Itryan.
Where is such it candidate? Kx-Governoi Kalstim of Indiana is
mentioned. Governor Iial.stim is not well known in the country out
side of Indiana, but he is as well known as Governor Cox who, if we
remember rightly, was the candidate in 1020. lie is a good cam
paigner they say, and perhaps has never been attorney for any thing
as wicked lis ii bank or corporation.
IJalston and Walsh hiw would that sound? Not impossible,
lint wouldn't Dryan and Walsh sound better? Seems so.
Ili--fiii hncivie reeenllv Ki'loi-tpfl fiiirme nl'esii lent, of n Florida col
lege as his candidate. Isn't it possible however, that during the last
perspiring hours ot that .New l ork convention t lie l'eeriess uue mignr
lie persuaded to relieve his scholarly favorite and again offer him
self as a sacrifice? '
V.il Minuiuuilile Xiil iiminKtiililo nt nil Tn fact, we are not going
to be at ull surprised to find that dark horse none other than William
.reimino-R llrvnn a ininil man who bus often been nut down but lias
never been put out. '

Common fhble salt, to prepare a solu
tion for a wet dressing for any sore or
wound which behaves as you may
possibly Imagine a wound behaves
when you're "taking cold into It." Of
course, there Is no such possibility
the Idea and the phrase itself are
ridiculous.
When a puncture, cijt scratch
abrasion or other break of tho surface
is followed after some hours or days
by swelling, redness, perhaps throb
blng pain, you may be fairly sure the
wound has been infected, usually thru
your own careless or unintelligent
handling. Germs of the typo which
produce inflammation and suppura
tion chiefly strains of streptococcus
and staphylococcal have Invaded the
tissues thru the wound. Perhaps you
put tho germs on the wound yourself
In some dirty ointment or salve. 01
carried them there with your imiuisi
tlvo fingers, or rubbed them In from
your unclean clothing or from dress
ings which were not sterilized. If, be
sides the local discomfort, you feel
somewhat chilly or feverish, as tho
coming down with socalled "grippe,"
that is probably what doctors call sep
tlcemia and what laymen call "acute
blood poisoning." In time of soptice
mia prepare for the surgeon. Rut let'i
see what wo can do for tho merely
local evidences of wound infection
such ns I havo described.
Dissolve a tablespoonful of sodium
citrate and three tablespoonfuls of
salt iu a pint of boiled water; soak
gauzo or common cheese cloth in this
wring out to prevent dripping, nnd
apply many thicknesses loosely upon
and around tho hand, foot or region
affected, as hot as bearable, and
change these compresses several times
a day or night. If the wet compress
be covered with some oiled silk, rub
ber dam or waxed paper, with a little
I'otlon and a bandage. It will do for
ieveral hours,' but should not be per
mitted to become dry pour a little of
the solution 'about the seat of the
wound onco or twice in tho night, or
if tho wound is painful, remove the
dressing nndf soak tho member for
half an hour In a few pints of the
solution, kept-as hot as bearable, then
apply a freshi dressing.
Such a dressing serves every good
purpose of a poultice, yet does not
favor bncterla growth as poultices do.
The solution favors drainage from the
infected tissues always a desirable
surgical condition. Such a dressing is

for the condition described, be it from

Knowing how you hate fat people, I
hesitate to write you. You seem to
think fat people have no character or
backbone. 1 am 5 feet 5 inches tall
and weight 194 pounds and I'll stand
the meanest things you may say if
you'll only tell me how to get thin.
(Mrs. J. V. A.)
Answer. Well, they haven't any
backbone not so far as I have exam
ined 'em. Just wait until I got after
tho ski miles and you'll wonder if I
lovo anybody but myself. Send a
stamped self addressed envelope and
mention your dimensions again and
I'll provide you with the instructions
for healthful reducing.
Tjove Thy NelghlHir
T am a prospective mother. Is there
any danger of marking my baby be
cause I dislike my neighbor so in
tensely? v I am worried about It. (Mrs.
S. M.)
Answer. No. ' If that were possible
nearly every kid running around the
neighborhood would be marked. A
reasonable knowledge of embryology
or prenatal develbpment would make
a great source of humor out of tho
superstitious yarns which worry you
now. Schools are places where chil
dren nro kept safely protected from
knowledge of themselves for the du;
raiion of their formative years and
taught a lot of twaddle called algebra,
Caesar, Shelley and physiology. When
a girl Is turned out of school she Is
assuredly uninformed. If not always
innocent, and after she Is thru school
her education begins.

DIFFERENT TASTES
WV. ARK too prone to rise mid sny, "Our neighbor are n
boneheinl erew; far from Culture's path they stray
they do not like the books we do." This morning fiaffer Cripess
came by, and said. "I feel a mental wreck; I read that Joseph
Conrad guy till I had fautods in my neck. I found his story pass
ing tame, a washed-out, dreary thing and pale; I wonder how ho
got his fame? He surely cannot tell a tale." Then indignation
filled my breast, I thought to swat him with my lyre; but 'pru
dence told me it was best to let it. slide nnd curb my ire. This
Joseph Conrad seems to me the monarch of the writing men, nnd
when with him T sail the sea, romance ami youth are mine ag.'iin.
So when il nutty neighbor claims that Conrad is a false alarm, a
bitter wrath within me flames, and I am moved to do him harm.
Hut (ial'fer Cripes spends hours and days perusing Shakespeare,
in his shack; he reads the sonnets and the plays, goes through
the book, and then turns back. And Cripes can quote forever
more the Hard of Avon, line by line; but Sliakespejire is to me a
bore, and gives mo spasms in my spine. And so I say it is not
well to roast a friend iu bitter tones because ho praises Harold
Bell while you arc boosting Itedford-.Tones.
