In fact, as a matter of practical politics, peace overtures to the Democrats in congress, would have much more chance of material results, limn the overtures to 'the insui'iients. For the Democratic opposition to President Coolidiu, up to the present time, has been perfunctory in the extreme. On no important issue do the Democrats present a united front. Their opposition is purely political and nominal, while the insurgent opposition is op position on principle and conviction. Once remove make-believe from the congressional situation, and i ne finds that in the insurgent ranks alone is there genuine opposi tion to the present administration. Al Smith may organize real opposition under the banner of anti-prohibition, but such a con tingency will only arise over the dead bodies of southern Democracy II fid Uryanism, which is a quest ion for future sessions of congress not this one.

No reply can be ajree ur, miiiam Draoy, in eve oi inn newspaper m How ill Uic World C'an'tho Old Folks Tell? The hotter the air content of a house or room, the more shocklnK the effect of a current of cool fresh air, which fortu nately finds Its way Into the foul nlr chamber. A draft Is 'naturally spotted first by1 the old ioiks whether it is there or not because the old folks have cultivated the hot house habit so many years, trying to keep com- fortalile by overheating the air of tho house and quite neglecting to take into consideration a factor of equal importance, namely, the hu- mtdlty of the air of the house. Heating the nice clean pure moist fresh air in tho winter time drtes.lt out. The old folks would naturally nssume that It is a good thing to dry out, for doesn't dampness in the air cause rhcumatiz and other com- plaints? Hut the fact is that we have grown softer and softer, or should I say recklesser and reck- lesser, about the heating of our. homes and work rooms since fur- nncos were invented. A hundred years ago tho comfort temperature for slik rooms and nurseries was considered "not below CO nor above 60," today it is generally around 70 degrees. Tho reason for this remarkable rise in the comfort standard is. first, the excessive dryness of the air in a house or room heated in the mod- ein wny, as compared with the wholesome degree of moisture re- lained by the air in a room heated only with ,a fireplace. Ai:. the sec- nnd reason Is the decreased amount of clothing people wear nowadays, even the old folks, as compared with ii., . i,. i .. the phenomenal nrmor worn by our iwrdy forbears Not to mention the U'Clt-nlr-h nnbdfl n rmu Intra hnannil , " " , " " l arks, necks and faces of this era, I was impressed by the speed with starch and sugar (carbohydrate), which times and customs change The protein of peanuts is nearly if when I attempted to purchase a pair not quite as suitable for our requ'ire of oxfords In midwinter three sea- ments as is the protein of wheat or sons ago there were none to bo had In a big store !nt that time of year, no call Tor them; whereas, this present season I had as much dlffi- culty In finding the high shoes none in stock, everybody wearing ox- fords nowadays.

For this, the best med- Iclne In the world for the old folks Is two or three miles of oxygen on tho hoof every day, rain, shine, snow or blow; they ought to cultivate this health habit for their own comfort, especially while the coal strike is on. ' If they've been wedged into the chimney corner so long that they are not sure about their legs, they can at least come back by ensy stages,1 making a very short little walking excursion the first day, better dlvld- lng it Into two or three wee short ones, nnd very gradually extending the limit ns they regain suppleness, Air heated to 70 degrees may feel rathcr chilly when It Is excessively dried out. .

Twit) From Uiu (Sumo Header Referring to my former letter of thanks for the gfiod advices given me in your valuable letter of the nineteenth Inst., in regard to pruritus,1 I beg to report that the first named recipe In your letter one calling, for two drams of lanolin, one' dram of boroglycerid and enough cold cream made from white petroleum jelly to make the whole measure one ounce with the addition of two' grains of menthol, at my own din-1 cretion, has afforded me complete, relief from this most annoying trouble for the last three weeks.

Answei- Peanuts yield 1 2E0n vnlo- ries to the pound, as compared w h lean beef which yteldVZout 1000 , L7 """" nuuui i, and white bread which yields about 1200. Peanuts contain about 25 per o - m o io- iu pei cent of fat. with about 24 per cent beef. At the price of 15 to 25 cents' a pound peanuts deserve a place in the staple rations of every family and should be much more com- monly used as a staple food, not merely as a relish. The proportion of carbohydrate in peanuts, thQ ah- ntilntnlt, Invim la pain Hunt., small an that it is wise to combine peanuts with food Items of the carbohydrate class for a' balanced ration, say with white flniir onimvlnmh anoa, aan.H. for the body requires, say, four or: five times as much carbohydrate as it does protein.

Marco Polo visits Kublai Khan. Traveling overland into China with his father, a Venetian merchant, young- Marco entered into tho Khan's service and, adopted the mannor and dress of the court later bringing to Europe one of, the earliest accounts of that country. He describes the Khan's Winter residence in Kanbulu as covering eight square miles each gate of its walled moat guarded by 1,000 men. Inside the first mile con tained the camps of his guards, who derived their support from enormous herds of cows; next, his harem, and finally the royal resi dence with its four empresses each of whom kept 10,000 ser vants.
