All such Information rocs In one ear of the average reader and rlKht out of ihe other ear. What the reader wants is the euro, call It by what-; ever name he will. If I .insist' on telliuK hhn ihe nature and cause of bin mal-1 ady. very well, he j supposes he will have to stand for that lit order to Ket my advice. Sometimes 1 Rn nearly wild well, really, there are so many correspondents whose. crde interest is expressed in the ques- lion: Is there any cure for -. naming tin- present complaint. As I do no! know of a cure for any- thing under heaven, except tuxes, : you see bow unsatisfactory this hit- vice of mine is all around. If J did know of a cure for anything.' I couldn't ten the correspondent about il. That would bo giving medical advice, and this newspaper is not engaging in the practice of medicine, having no license to prne-j tiee and no desire to test the maj-i esty of the law on that polilt. There: Is no law governing the giving of; health service. When you need health ail vice, ask me 1 promise nothing, hut I'm happy to do the very best I can for any reader wht. complies with the rules. If; you need medical advice .consult! a -physician. i First, I have never been able to i learn what folks mean when they i spent: of a varicose vein "break- ing" or "bursting." If they mean i hemorrhage, (hat must be execs- i sively rare I've never known of such an emergency and I've had a ' Komlish experience in private and hospital practice. Hul to assure you, if ever your varicose vein should break open and begin to bleed, you can slim it easily enough hy simply pressing a folded hand kerchief or your lingers moderate-1 ly on the bleeding point and hold-! ing it or applying a bandage over I it. . r ! Perhaps ihe expression "break- j Iiik" or "bursting" of a varicose vein means another complication, ; that happens) too often, namely, dotting of blood at some point in Lhc vein, thrombus as doctors call it, and perhaps Infection (Invasion by germst, which produces inflam mation of the vein wall (phyehllis) and the whole effect is called ihrombo-phlebitls. This is marked1 hy swelling, hardness of the flesh or skin about the thrombus, usual ly some general fever, and prol-. ably ulceration after many days. This is one way in which varicose ulcer develops. Another way It; by accidental braslon of the isklli of the leg, and subsequent Infec tion of the poorly nourished tissue thus exposed. Whenever a varl-, cose vein gives rise to such cum-; plication, the wise patient wil! im-1 mediately retire to bed. elevate the, limb on comfortable pillows, and send for the physician, for the con dition Is Indcd serious and when , not wisely managed it is danger-! ous to life. Whether any form of legging, supporter, bandage or other per-; maiieut dressing should he worn, is a question for the individual medical adviser to consider. When In doubt, It Is surely better not to adopt any artificial support. Of course no appliance, medica ment or method of treatment thai can be used externally or managed by the patient himself, is worthy of serious consideration. To my mind It is a sail commentary on American educational standards and American business ethics that certain fakers are permitted to ad vertise their mysterious nostrums as "cures" for varicose veins. ' orKSTIONN AMI ANSWERS " Smoke 'Km Out. ' How long do the germs of scar let fever live? Ilow long after a case (s it safe for other children to return In the home? Are fresh air anil sunshine all that is neces sary Instead of "fumigation?" Hen Told clothes put away for years following scarlet fever may spread the disease when taken out and worn. Mrs. H. A. E. Answer. Various health depart ments (prescribe Isolation or "quar antine' periods of 30 to 5'1 days for scarlet fever cases. You must obey the sanitary ordinances of your own municipality. As a rule scarlet fever ceases lo be commun icable after the third or fourth week of illness. Formerly doctors imagined the disease was spread through and by the peeling skin nnd sanitary rules were based on that belief. .Vow we know the scar let fever streptococcus is spread only in the discharges from the patient, m.iinly now ami throat anil -perhaps -ear discharges, and not at all In or by the peeling skin. There are many inlereiUing tra ditions about the infectlvlty of clothing, letters, toys ami other ob jects long years after the scarlet fever patients handled or used them. These stories are npocry phal and not debatable. I'laln soap, and wilier washing is ample pre caution in the way of disinfection of any surface that may hi so washed. Laundering will disinfect any vushiibte clothing. I'nwash uble objects may be exposed for a diiy to open air and sunlight. 'Xo smoke or stench is necessary. There Is no good evidence that scarlet fever is ever conveyed by books, papers, clothing, furniture or other objects not visibly soiled by dis charges from the patient, Objects so soiled should be destroyed if they cannot, be washed. As far as our present knowledge goes, scar let fever Is sprejirl only by per sonal contact with the patient or with a person having a septic sore ihroai, or by milk contattjlnated by a handler with some such ill ness or hy milk from a cow haying a st re(tococr;tis infection of the udders. We know that scarlet fever without a rush .may happen. Wherever the quaint practice of "1'u m igiit ion" of apartments after scarlet fever is still carried on, you Will find the general publi. health administration far behind the limes and the public' health standards pretty low. Some public health administrations stick to this extravagant and useless rite merely because they fear that ignorant (people may criticize it they discard the practice. Fumigation, except for the purpe.se of killing bedbugs or other vermin ,1s as untrust worthy as it is obsolete, and the health officer who' still insists on raising a stench after such illnesses as scarlet fever, diplheria. whoop ing cough or smallpox, is u disgrace t ii the profession ho purports to follow.

AIR CARNIVAL All day the airships had been Railing above me in the cloud less air; "Some motor shortly will be failing'?' I muttered, oh greased my hair. There was a carnival of flying, a compe tition for a prize, with scores of aviators trying to scrape some planets frdhi the skies, I heard the distant motors retir ing, 1- heard the great propel lers hum, I saw the dauntless airmen soaring, and sighed, "The trouble soon will come. There's hound to. be a great dis aster before this futeful day is spent, and there'll he calls for sticking plaster and poultices and liniment. There'll he a call for docs and nurses, apothecar ies and their pills; and perad venture sable hearses will hear poor airmen up the hills." Yet all day long the planes went scooting, and nothing happen ed, no one died; no undertak ers traveled, bruiting death news about the count ryside. The airmen to the earth descended without a symptom of a smash, and to the hoarding ' houses wendol, and called for plates of corned beef hash. The mot ors ceased their raucous med ley, without a jar, without a wreck; "This flying game's no longer deadly," I murmured, as I washed my neck. "The air's as safe as Is the gravel, the high roads and the country lanes, on which we diligently travel in our high class but mortgaged wains." It's hard to realize that flyers may live to reach a green old age, hut once we know it we'll bo buyers, of nice tin air ships, I'll engage. Since gazing on an airmen's circus, with no one hurt, I roundly swore, "The cheap alarmists cannot work us with threats of dnnger any more." , and const it nt f until modification on i the other. There are two kinds !ot wets in this fight: j First, Hie sort who arc- impa itient and eager for the imnip jiiiate return of booze. They are hoping to nullify the lSth amend Iment nnd I iron It down .liquor law : enforcement. Second, the other kind, who be 'lieve that the lSth amendment should be repealed or modified. I are .willing to bring this result about, if possible, y prescribed H onstitutional procedure. ;' The first, sort, for the sake of Iclarity. we will call "Al Smith I Wets." This for the wason that j every one of them, of whatever party, wiil vote for Al Smith. The i.-econd class are just anti-prohihi-jtlonists. and hundreds , of thous jands of them will vote for Her bert Hoover. While we do not .agree with these antis on .the ques tion of prohibition, we respect their rights as t'roo Amerienn citi zens. " to advocate the modification of the LSth amendment hy all honest nnd honorable means. The republican party, in its con vention at Kansas City, did not make the wet and dry question the issue in this campaign, for they put a dry plank in their plat- i form upholding a inw already in 1 the constitution and in the fede j rat statutes, nnd It nominated a j candidate who stands squarely on I the platform. Nor did the democrats in their ! convention nt Houston make booze the issue, for they. too. wrote a dry plank in their platform. But j they nominated a wet candidate (to stand on 11, and the next day ! be repudiated bis party's platform land declared ror the modification of the 1 8th amendment and of the Volstead net; and a return to I "state's rights- and "local op ; tion." ; From that hour Inevitably the I rum question has been the issue 1 ami Alfred Kmnnucl Smith anil 'his wet crowd of Tammany plug 'uglios are alone responsible. A month ago my idea was for the republicans to conduct a nice. ladylike campaign nnd to let the j democrats stage .the hell-raising, j in the Christian hope that the I warring factions would destroy 'each other, hut I have changed my mind. During the last few days i have "met up" with a few of these Intolerant Al Smith re- publicans, and I now realize that i we should go to the relief of the decent democrats who at e , fight i Ing the battles of law and order tin their own ptirty. I The way to buffalo this crowd of Smith, liaskoh, Dupont 'nulli i f iers and repudiators is to give them the bayonet. Ever since Tammany thugr. spiffed the Xew (York ballot boxes nnd stole the : election from ,11m Blaine in 188-1, 1 1 have had it in for this outfit. Don't let any man or woman in .Jackson- county be -fooled nhout 'Tammany. For over one hundred I years, it has grown and trhived on graft, corruption and bribery.

Down In Hollywood, when the movie barons reach back into the dim past to grab the classic of some dead and buried master, they turn It over to expert sramnlo wrftnrH wlm i-pvnmn the old mas- ! terpiece to fit the taste of mod ern movie patrons. This process j is known lo the trade as "dumb , Ing' up." :' It occurs to me that the Hoover effort is more or less a replica rof former Republican acceptances, j.so full of promise., platitudes and generalities, "dumbed up" for Ihe i I9S. consumption. Take for example, the stalemciit concerning prosperity, evidenced by the number of automobiles and electric stoves sold to the labor ing classes.' The candidate ne glected to state that these auto- mobiles, stoves, etc., were bought j where the California managers are on conditional sales contracts, and in chnrgo and you will find Cali that the earnings of the buyers for forniu- pressmen, Caiifnrnln pack two years In the future were mort-1 ers and sorters and California help gaged to pay for them. The dumb-j in general. Notice the cars park ing up process urn, in vuiihiu- eration the unemployment of four million men during the past year, the unprecedented foreclosure of farm lauds and of chattel mort gages and the depreciation of farm values in staggering sums. It is true that recent congressional in vestigations disclose an unprece- dented, if somewhat limited pros perity accruing to certain favored Individuals high in Republican councils, through the sale of gov ernment oil lands, but this was properly dumbed out of the speech. It would seem that the candidate neglected to say that our prosper I ity like booze, is for the favored I and nriviloErert classes. ; The cnnrtldfito nrnnoKPs tn ni. levlate farm conditions bv onen-1 Ing up water ways. Any student of tin? history of transportation knows the utter futility and tallacy of such a scheme. When natural water ways, like the Ohio, the Mississippi, and the Missouri, have been abandoned because of rail road competition, it is 'idle to talk of water ways. The Erie canal, in the heart of the coal district, where cheap transportation Is an essential, is now only. an evidence with its tow path grown over with brush, that the tide of human pro gress has moved on. . We are told in the speech that modification of the Volstead Act means nullification, and a day or two later a headline in your paper suggests that the candidate will study the matter of modification. Back during war times, when the antis wanted to restrict breweries from using rain for beer, Mr. Hoover declared that beer contain- ing,J.io percent alcohol was harm-! 'less, nnd that to prohibit its man- jufacture and sale would result in ,an orgy of drunkenness. If Mr. I Hoover was right back in those j days when patriotism was the Is-! sue of the hour, he is certainly I "all vat" in hi a nroQont tnnit "ii " " v v In. the great city of Los Angeles, just a day or two ago, a police edict, went out that substantial I citizens would not be" disturbed in winning, wets "stippliK?." the possession of a reasonable,; .Tosephus Daniels, drier than the j amount of hard liquor or in the hottest spot In the-desert of Sa 1 manufacture of beer for home con-hat a, gives democrats comfort with I sumption.
