A REPLY
T1TK EUGKNH (1VAIW, in cliiiiiipioiiiiir,' the federal child labor
iiitiimdiiii-iit, HciiiiNOR The .Mail Tribune of luiKrupresMitntion.
Quoting ii recent editorial from this paper, us follows: "If this
iiiiiondmeiit passes no eliild in tins country will ha alllowed to work
until lifter the eighteenth birthday," the Ciiiii'd declares:
"The federul child labor umendmcnt will prohibit nothing nnd
regulate nothing. It will authorize congress to legislate, to regulate
or prohibit child labor. The amendment fs purely and solely an
enabling uct."
Quito true. Hut does the Guard wish to maintain that if the
amendment passes, L'ivii.i congress the rilil to prohibit eliild labor
under 18 years of nut;, tlmt eoncrcss will not exereise that rich.4? ..If
so, (lien any discussion is foolish. For the passant: of Hut ameudmeiit
will not chunge the present situation in any particular.
The states can't pass laws for the roveriiiiie.iit. All the filat.es can
do is to waive their rights, and (jive the (,'overnjiient potter to pass
them. That is the purpose of this iiiiicndinent.
Therefore lo maintain that if this amendment passes congress will
pass a federal child labor law, in accordance with its provisions,
seems to us entirely correct, while to mij,'f;est that if -this amendment
passes, nothing will be done, appeals to us as both foolish und mis
leading. The Mail Tribune believes all children should, be protected from
anything approaching wage slavery, that no child should be robbed
of its birthright of normal health and decent ediic.-ition.
lint to gain this end, another constitutional amendment is not
necessary. The prolilein can, and should be, solved by the states, in
co-operation wilh the parents, just as it lias been solved in Oregon.
"Vc differ with the Guard, not in our view of the child labor prob
lem, but in our view of the proper method for its solution.

To the Editor:
We at Eagle point have noted your
repeated gibes about ''Out at Eagle
Point where r " ,
No doubt you think these slurs are
very smart and witty but I tell you
they are not, they are only vulgar
and libelous of your friends.
It seems to Us that your editorial
page Is very well named "The Smudge
Pot" for it gives very Nttle light and
busies itself principally in begriming
the names of many whom it should
respect. Without knowledge In the
case, we strongly suspicion that -the
editor has a convenient spitoon near
his desk and that is where, he gits his
ma t erin 1 for t he "Smudge Pot."
If The Mail Tribune cannot find
anything commendable to say about
Eagle point, or any other place, it
would show a more worthy spirit if it
kept silence.

When I had a sample of the itch

going to have It more than a few

people put up with it

long as seven years
tradition Hayeth. La
ter on. when I had a
general erythema It
seemed to me that
mere. Itch was a
trifling affictlon. But
finally I had Ivy
poisoning and then
I understood that
there are at least
three degrees of
itchiosis, of which the itch and ord
inary erythemas are the milder forms.
Perhaps the mildest form of itchio
sis. though you may doubt this If
you've got it, is that condition so much
affected by the well washed, pruritus,
ns tho doctors call it, meaning itch
ing without apparent causo. It is a
mild condition comparatively speak
ing. Hut obstinate and annoying, I
admit.
This Is the pruritus season. Not
that everybody puts on his heavy un
derwear now, but along about'thls time
of year, nearly everybody has the fur
nace going and the household atmos
phere, not to mention the respiratory
medium at the store or office, is Sa
hara like, whicl is pretty tough on the
skin. Then a lot of folk indulge in
more hot bathing this time of year j
than they do in the summer, and this I
makes the skin still drier and :
harsher. And finally. there is
something, we do , not know just
whether it is in the character of our
food, , the relative diminution In the
quality of sunlight or possibly a fam
ine in tho lodin ration, something that
makes the human metabolism slow
down a bit in the autumn, and the skin
suffers with the rest of the system.
So almost everybody, even the most in
veterate bathers itches more or less
now.
For a clear case of bath pruritus the
sensible plan Is to break the bathing
habit, either abruptly or by tapering
off. A cold air bath Is rather bene
ficial to the most sensitive' skin, and
moderate amount of friction with
dry towel is good. too. But water
is an aggravation to a dry, irritable
skin; hot water Is still worse, and
hot water with soap Is the worst thing
in the- world for such prurittus. Hut
people who are bath addicts "find It
almost impossible to avoid occasional
relapse, and when this happens It Is
well to make It as short as possible
and then treat the skin to a bit of oil,
and pure fresh preparation, say
freshly made cold cream, or sweet al
mond oil, or olive oil, or sesame oil. or

QUESTIONS AM) AXSWKHS
.Sanitary.
A friend advised us to use a solu
tion of permanganate of potash for
sanitary purposes, but we don't know
what strength to use. (T. T. W.)
Answer I should not advise It.
Soap and water, sunlight and fresh air
are. sufficient for any sanitary pur
pose, except in certain infectious ill
nesses, when the physician will in
struct you what to use.
I.litlnicnt
If nothing is absorbed by the un
broken skin does it do any good to
rub liniment on for rheumatism- (A.
O. T.)
Answer Whatever rheumatism
may be. pain and soreness is often re
lieved by external applications in the
form of a liniment, ointment or plas
ter. Applications of heat or cold oft
en relieve soreness or pain, though
nothing is absorbed by the skin. Blist
ers are sometimes productive of re
lief to pain, though nothing is ab
sorbed through the skin. Liniments
are of great value, but if they purport
to be absorbed through the skin that
Is of course untrue, and lucky for all
of us that It is untrue. If tho skin ab
sorbed things the same way some
nostrum makers would have Ahe lay
man believe, life on this planet would

of taking acetphenetidln. Some time

. Answer You misunderstood what I
said about ncetphenetidin. It Is a
dangerous drug for a layfman to tam
per with. It is as safe as any other
