For the first time in history Tam many hud a "boss" whose private and pnihlie life were above reproach. Charges of graft and corruption were still made atrainst the city administration of New York, as directed by the dapper Jimmy Walker, but while m the heat of the cam paign charges were made against the administration, of Al Smith, none was sustained. Fair-minded pcoplo everywhere1, friend and foe alike, ad mitted that Governor Smith had not only tcivoil the state of New York a businesslike but an honest admjnistriitloii, and no hint of crookedness was ever upheld against him. SUCH a situation was, still is unprecedented. Fop the war, Tammany had not only a leader. No higher tribute to -Al was ever made than the stuteiuent, never successfully refuted, that, in spite of his political capable and decent. Jiut he was defeated, and there clique in Tammany hall contributed to thalj defeat. Smith not only lost New York state but, ran behind his party's ticket, New York elected a Democratic Govtfrlior and a ltepublian President. ; And from that moment on Nothing succeeds like success'." Nothing succeeds UL'T success. principle in spite of defeat, simply isn't doiie within the wig wam. So Al Smith steps out and more decent government in New York City is beaten, and once more Tanimuny returns to "normalcy."

MOSJIEJVS If I wero presenting meduls for tiiMtlngutahed nervlcea I should pin one on ' Dr. Celiu Duel M usher, medical adviser of women in Stanford unlver lty, for her great c o n t rlbution to tho health of womankind and the betterment of posterity. There aro nowadays not a few medical women who swing a keen stethoscope or oven a wicked scalpel, but Dr. Mosher's name standn out among tho great women of her profession for thlH achievement: She has shown wo men how to avoid hiost of tho In capacity nnd suffering they have erroneously believed to be inevit able. From Dr, Masher's book, "Per Honal Hygiene for Women" (Stan ford University PrcHH) I quote her simple, yet marvclously effective exercise: j "AU tight clothing having been removed, the woman is placed on her back, on a level surface, in the horizontal position.- The knees are flexed and the arms are placed at the sides to secure porfect relaxa tion. One hand Is allowed to rest on the ubdomlnal wail without ex erting any pressufo, to servo as an lndicntor of tho amount of move ment. The woman Is directed to raise the hand by liaing the ab dominal wall without- straining, then to see how far tho hand can be Iftwered by tho voluntary con traction of tho abdominal muscles, the importance of this contraction being especially emphasized. This exercise Is repeated eight or ten times, night and morning. In a well ventilated room, preferably while she is still in bed and in her night clothing. She is cautioned to avoid Jerky movements and to strive for a smooth, rhythmical raising and lowering of the abdominal wall." . Dr. MoHher points out that these oxorclses should bo taken twice a day and every day in tho month without interruption. Sho - also gives some other Instructions about tho exorcise that we cannot explain here. The woman taking these ex ercises should not hold tho breath; if she is Inclined to do so. she should koep'her mouth open while doing tho exercise. Dr. Mosher says attention should he concen trated on the altdomlnul muscles and advises the woman to Vforget tho breathing, which will take care of Itself." t This exercise is only one of the features of Dr. Moshers contribu tion to the health of girls and wo men. Who has Rhown that the old policy of considering these 'normal functions sickness was an Injurious one, and that young women who do not coddle themselves enjoy the host health. Dr. Mosher includes In this little hook somo excellent ndvleo on tho care of tho feet and tho hygiene of footwenr. but she does not insult the intelligence of renders by cnutioning them about getting the feet wet an omission which will he greatly deplored by n lot of old fogies who still hold Jobs as health commissioners in benighted towns In the U.

I earnestly advise every girl or woman who suffers beenuse she is fi member of tho credulous sex to make n careful study of tho teach ings in this book nnd put them into pructico In her own life. qi:i;stios AXI AXSWKllS Yeastoirn Kentucky A while ago you hud an article about tho use of brewer's yeast for the prevention of pellagra.

I didn't vote for prohibition. But I am tired of hearing so-called good citizens justify their violation of the dry law on tho ground that nil our Ills arc duo to it, and the 'crime wave Is j duo to It. livery time some moonshiner Is shot Tr 'some bootlegger Is convicted, they wail about lawlessness on tho part of officers pledged to enforce the prohibition law, and the fanaticism of the drys. They never seem to consider the fact that the indi vidual who deliberately violates the law and tries to make money out of it takes a chance and has no cause to squeal if he loses out. There arc abuses In all law en forcement, and JhVre are outrages now nnd "then committed In pro hibition enforcement, but the fact 'remains that the law abiding clti- zon Is never involved In them. Let our so-cnlled good citizens follow' President Hoover's excellent ad vice and whether they like prohi bition or don't like it. rosolve to obey that law as they do all others. 'and this crime wave would quickly disappear. The individual who 'brenks tho law and then deplores the growth of lawlessness, is just as much n hypocrite as the one who votes dry nnd acts wet. What we need is a moral house-cleaning and tho determination of nil citi zens to do one of two things either uphold law cnTorceSncnt nnd obey the law themselves, or frank ly go over to the side of tho boot leggers, moonshiners nnd gunmen, and maintain thai the individual Is Justified In disobeying any law ho doesn't like.
