The only hope of keeping football in the plil?e it lias occupied f'T
nearly a generation, now lies with the great American puic. If
the people as a whole accept .professional football and pay their
good money to see ihe mereciiaries perform, then our greatest
amateur sjiort, will soon go the way of baseball yu boxing, nnd the
nncient and honorable purity of the gnine will become only a pleas
f.nt memory. . ; .
For in spite 06 the practical considerations advanced, we can't
have our cake and cat it. If amalcur football, particularly col
lege fontlf ill, is to bo accepted ,as, merely preparation for money,
milking, then the' peculiar charm and spiritual vigor of the sport is

Nevertheless, we deplore their

. The Irregularities of pigmentation
popularly known as "liver , spots"
have nothing to do with the Hver or
Its functions.
A mole is a nmnll round stain
or pigmented spot, usually elevated
a . bit above the level of the skin.
In omo instances present at birth,
in othera appearing later In life.
The medical term for mole Is nevus.
Most of thesp moles or nevl are
benign und cnll for no treatment
unless they are such a blemish that
the hid ivl dual wishes to have them
obliterated or removed. Home ot
them d6 ultimately develop Into
'malignant growths, cancer, and for
that reason It Is generally advisable
to have moles removed, particu
larly, when they show certain changes
in appearance after some years, such
as' increased .pigmentation or color
nnd increased vascularity or forma
tion, of little blood vessels in tho
inole i- H tendency to ulcerate and
bleed from flight injuries. . Such
changes', which warrant the suspicion
of a cancer, poinetimes occur in a
little mole 6r nevus which hns given
no trouble for, 20 30 or more years.
It Is unwise to attempt to oblit
erate or destroy moles; with caustics.
for that adds Irritation, predisposes
to ordinary infection (blood poison
ing), produces very unsightly sear
formations and too often fails to
remove the- mole. Repeated efforts
actually favor the development of
cancer. . . .
If I had ft mole or wart or simi
lar blemish or lesion about the face
or - head, J should prefer to have
the lesion, with a III tie wedge of
nnrmal sltin surrounding it, excised
hy surgery, under local anethoflia.
This is the lenftt Irritating, least pain

J-: i ico ii raging the Landlord.
Stop! please stop telling ua about
that ideal room temperature of 6i
degrees being sufficient in cold
weather. Our janitor would lose his
job If he followed such a barbarous
rule la the apartment we occupy.
AVe all wear light clothing as you
frequently advise, and therefore we
want warmth and comfort, which
demands a room temperature con
siderably above us degrees. No doubt
landlords will bless you, since it
would enable them to collect exorbi
tant rents and still Bave on the heat
ing expense. K. K.
Answer It is fair enough If the
landlord or janitor keeps the room
temperature up to 68 degrees. You
shouhl find that temperature com
fortable, provided you can evaporate
