U. S. Wants No Dole
Tile misery of unemijbyment is to become the object of much
demagoguery this fall and winter. Intensification of the
welfare work of existing agencies is the only sound method of
unemployment relief yet discovered.
Where co-ordination of established welfare agencies and
public poor departments seems
tral community unemployment committee is advisable to handle
details of registration of the jobless and to supervise efforts to
provide work for them. Local
less unsympathetic than national
therefore more desirable.
There is a growing opposition to any form of dole for the
unemployed. There will doubtless be an insistent demand for
this type of aid from tho next Congress. In New Hampshire
any form of dole issued by the federal government will reflect
upon the FARMER, FOR THE AGRICULTURAL WORKER
IS LEFT OFF THE LIST OF THOSE WHO BENEFIT WHERE
GOVERNMENT DOLES ARE GRANTED. The farmer, how
ever, pays a disproportionately large part of the taxes from
which the governments share of unemployment funds would
come.
' The New Hampshire farmer is in no position to stand heav
ier tax burdens to provide either partial unemployment relief to
wage earners, or to contribute to government subsidizations of
economic and social movements designed to further raise the
standard of living of the American people and thereby create a
greater domestic market.
Nor is the New Hampshire farmer in a position to success
fully compete with labor as long as industry maintains wage
scales not subject to direct fluctuations, as is the farmers in
come, when commodity prices, as on milk, tumble precariously.
If standards of living are to be still further advanced in or
der to increase the size of the domestic market, the farmer must
expect his burden to go on up proportionately, unless more
effective devices for taxing intangible wealth are discovered
in the meantime. James M. Langley, Chairman, Unemployment
Commission New Hampshire.
Tammany Turns Reformer
-
THE Tammany Tiger has assumed a new and strange role.
The same Tammany which has endavored to block at every
step the Seabury inquiry ordered by the Legislature after a
succession of scandals had aroused a public demand for investi
gation of social corruption in
that the "housecleaning'' be
York state.
The same Tammany which
the blossom of official honesty
York City "the cleanest and best conducted city in the world,"
according to Mayor Walker is now discovering that up'state
cities are veritable sinks of iniquity, which must be investigated
and purified. But to the pure all things are pure. How could
the innocent and gentle kitteu which the new Tammany pur
ports to be, see so muoh that is evil and so far from hornet
THIS is the same inoffensive little beastie whose mas-
ter termed the legislative investigation a crucifixion
of Tammany and in the next breath admitted he, had made a
secret telephone call to ask a judge on vacation to hear a plea
for a Btay of sentence for a witness in the Seabury inquiry who
had been adjudged in contempt of court for refusing to tell
with whom he had split fees said to aggregate $2,000,000 while
acting as an advocate before the municipal bureau of standards.
This is the same purring pussy which has bared its claws ut
Governor Roosevelt for daring to accede to the. public demand
for a special session of the Legislature to give the Seabury in
vestigation the power necessary to compel such recalcitrant
Tammany witnesses to testify. This is the meek little Tiger
which demands that the jungles of corruption in other cities be
thoroughly explored.
UNDOUBETDLY there are tilings in other New York cities
which could well be exposed to the cleansing light of day.
But enough has already been uncovered in New York City by
the splendid work of Mr. Seabury and his aides to show that
other housecleaning jobs can wait until the mass of misgovern
nient which has accumulated in the Tammany attic has beon
removed. ,
If Tammany had been in any degree friendly to the investi
gation which is so evidently necessary in New York City, there
would be loss reason to feel that this new reformist zeal is
merely an effort to drag a red herring across the trail of the
Tiger. And if the Tiger had really lost its stripes and become
a lily-white kitten, it might expect more success in this effort.
As matters stand, there is every indication that the Seabury
inquiry will continue steadfastly and calmly to help the people
of New York City obtain decent municipal government.

NEGLECT A BOIL AND
Nature will cure any boll x ab
scess but she doesn't earn .-.ow much
the victim, suffer froru the slow
but sure cure she
effects. It Is ull
the same to nature
if the curing kills
the patient. That
holds true whether
It Is a case of a
simple boll or a
broken leg or croup
or whatnot. It
doesn't matter much
what you've got
nature will cure It,
all right, If you
live long enough.
A boll near the rectum soon be
comes a large abscess, and the ab
scess, If not promptly - opened and
drained, presently becomes a fis
tula. Not a few ca: of bolls or
abscesses In this region terminate
In natural "breaking" and complete
healing after a few days' drainage.
But you never can tell and you
never should put your trust in na
ture's surgery.
A few whiffs of laughing gas or
of ether and the' doctor can ac
complish In a second or two, pain
lessly, what nature taken days ti
accomplish and regardless of the
suffering of the victim.
Fistula Is a kind of tunnelling
of the region by a boll or abscess
that falls to "break" or be opened
on the skin surface. At first the
tunnell I ng Is along one tract; If
long neglected It may have several
branch tunnels. The whole fistula
ts like a boll. Sometimes there ts
a small opening on the akin stir face,
sometimes there is an opening Into
the rectum. But these openings
are small, and do not permit free
drainage. They may become sealed
up for a wttlle, now and then, but
they rarely really heal spontaneously.
Nothing Is more futile than using
salves or other local remedies In the
hope of curing fistula.
There can be no argument at all
for any other treatment than sur
gery for fistula. In some cases the
surgery Is very simple Indeed. But
surgical treatment Is absolutely es
sential. There Is a common notion that
fistula Is cften tuberculosis. It may
occur more frequently In persons
whose health Is handicapped with
tuberculosis, and In rare cases the
fistula itself may bo a tuberculosis
condition. But no matter. It la
curable by surgery, Just the same.
When there Is a boll or. as doc
tors call It, lschlo-rectal abscess, it
la risky to wait till tomorrow for
surgical opening and drainage, for
by tomorrow It may be a fistula.
Generally the best results are ob
tained by ambulant treatment of
such abscess or fistula. That Is.
the healing proceeds more satisfac
torily If the patient keeps up and
about throughout the period of
treatment.
The general medical profession
ought to be ash'amcd of the record
of the treatment of all rectal dis
eases. Too often your glib prac
titioner Is willing to make a guess
at the nature of the trouble with
out bothering to make an examina
tion If the patient seems a gullible
sort. .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Good Posture.
I notice you decry the old army
carriage. I was brought up to hold
myself as tho I were trying to look
over a wall on tiptoe. Please tell us
what posture you recommend. P. M.
Answer Tour Idea Is good. An
other is to stand and sit and walk
as tho one were supporting the
celling or a large basket of bananas
on the head. Another la to keep
the chin thrust Inside an imaginary
high collar. NEVER try to throw
out your chest or pull In your
belly. Never mind these.
Baby Fond of Mud.
Ben aged 2 year, growing like a
weed, healthy, has 16 teeth, but
Dvery time we let him outdoors he
dives for the mud and eats It.
H. C.
Answer No great harm, as long as
the mud Is not polluted by human
or animal excrement. Many children
have "pica." as doctors call it odd
fondness .-for sajid, ashes, garden
soil, etc. and as long as they get
no actual filth or polluted things
It Is of little significance. They
get over It presently. There's Just
one danger don't let the baby
chew on any patnted things, such
as cradle or crib or chair rungs or
toys, for an infant may develop
serious chronic lead poisoning from
the paint so Ingested,
Impacted Wisdom Tooth.
Daughter suffered with migraine
for years. Doctor advised extrac
tlon of Impacted wisdom teeth.
Dentist made X-ray which showed
what he thought might be a super
numerary tooth in amongst the nor
mal teeth. He removed the teeth
and the headaches ceased for more
than a year. Then they began
again and got worse and worse . .
finally sho came home, dentist went
to work and ifc was work! and
after three hours got out the burled
root or mass of the supernumerary
tooth (from the side opposite to
the headaches) and after she re
covered from this operation she has
never had a headache since. . . .
M. H. R.
Answer About half of all adult
never erupt or cut from one to all
four third molars (wisdom teeth).
In not a few Instances Intractable
"neuralgia" or headaches may be
caused by an Impacted or unerupted
wisdom tooth burled In the Jaw, and
X-ray film will disclose this. In
such cases surgical exhumation of
the unerupted molar Is the only
relief.

ADRIAN OR KIRK?
SVFTEN Kirk bad that sense with
Juanita. the sense of some
thing with wings. ... Why did she
evade him so oCten. as she had a
moment ago on the beach when he
bad come closer than be erer had
Icome to her?
Had some man been Id her lite?
:Were they sending ber about
America to forget? For all the
marquesa's babbling, she had given
so bint of sadness in Juanita's
scheme of things. Vet sadness
seemed the essence of Juanlta. ex
cept at such moments as when she
played the guitar; for instance.
Perhaps it was grief for some one
else. Juanita's mother had died
the year before. Her father had
died when she was a child.
Whatever was in her past, Kirk
felt that it stood between them
more than any prospect ot the fu
ture. He would not find the win
ning ot Juanlta an easy matter if
he took her back to New Orleans.
People were mad about her. They
liked the marquesa, too, for that
matter.
No easy race. There was Bob
by Crenshaw with his millions, and
there was Rod Stevens. Nelly had
had them both to dinner, and twice
they had driven out on their own
invitation. There was Adrian, too.
Adrian was in love continually.
With Juanlta he seemed prepared
to be serious. Tbey would see
Adrian tomorrow. He was giving
Juanita a dinner on Tarpon Point.
And Cranshaw and Stevens were
making all sorts of plans for Easter
week when Juanita should return
to New Orleans.
Juanita aeeraed to enjoy them
all. Kirk could not distinguish a
difference in her manner with any
.of them, unless It was with Adrian.
Adrian she seemed to avoid, not
openly, but in a way that Kirk
could divine. For himself, be was
certain that she liked him, aware
that she turned to him in any an
noyance, such as when Adrian had
arrived unexyectedely. That night
Kirk recalled, was another time
when he bad seen her alone. They
had gone out into the garden in
the moonlight, and he had shown
her the bulbul bush. Its red
flowers were not open yet, but he
had picked one of the buds for her
while tbey sat on the garden bench,
and the sound of music and dancing
came from the verandah, it was
a night on which Stevens and
Cranshaw had come too.
But Juanlta did not turn to him
tor refuge from tbe past She let
It drop like a veil whenever be
came close. , . .
Her eyes were full of the sea as
sho turned to him, making a move
luont to go back. Their hour bad
f.ono fast
The marquesa was waiting on the
steps. Kirk went ahead to meet'
her. She stood, bending toward
him as he ascended, talking rapidly.
Juanlta saw Kirk take out his wal
let The marquesa affected to pro
test Presently she was radiant,
running back Into the house.
Juanita looked away as Kirk ap
proached. She felt chagrined. Kirk
was smiling.
"She gives ns bait an hour more,"
he said.
They walked toward the Island's
other end where the sun was begin
ning to go down in a welter ot red
gold.
"I'm going back to New Orleans
tomorrow," said Kirk. "I'm leaving
at six o'clock before you're
awake."
"I'm not certain I shan't be
awake," Juanita answered. "There's
been a mocking-bird lately outside
my window. I pall him my alarm
clock."
"Set him for five o'clock," begged
Kirk. "Have breakfast with me to
morrow In the garden. Does the
marquesa sleep hard enough?"
"That's her sleepiest time. But
aiiy should she care?"
"She shouldn't But she does look
after you with a vengeance."
"She's not looking after me now,"
uan!ta answered.
Kirk's hand tightened on hers,
".'"hat a chance!" he said.

ing after these.

taffeta, with a bertha of old lace.
On the table beside her were the.
remains of the collation with which
she had endeavored to stay the ap
petites ot ber guests until dinner.
Rhoda, Lorena's daughter, carried
out the great coffee urn, and the
dishes, restoring order to the sun
parlor.
"And so," said Madame FouchS,
"I tell Adrian, 'Tek me when you
give your dinner to Sefiorita Flores,
and let us go up tonight.'"
"That was sweet of you, Theo
neste," said Nelly. "I would never
have punished you like this, making
you wait for dinner, If I had known.
I told them not to eat dinner on tbe
yacht because and I didn't want
to go with them. They always want
me to, but I save myself."

"Pauvre enfant! I will play

"I gave her that" said Nelly.
"You?" cried Madame. "You give
her dat ring? ... Ah, yez when

"Adrian is ver' interest in

A school report should be an ac
count ot scholastic progress, not a
record of behavior.
It Is an old-fashioned point of
view, but one ettU held by far too
many people.
The progressive school quite rightly
holds that It la not Just the child's
mind that Is being sent to school,
but his whole self. And It Is this
whole self that must be educated.
If you are fortunate enough to be
sending your child this year to a
school which holds this more en
lightened attitude, you will be wise
to give It your cooperation.
Especially during the first years, re
ports which include observations on
character development and social ad
justment are far more vital than any
mere record of academic achievement.
From them you may learn how
your child ts .getting on In the things
that matter most at thia stage of
hie growUi.
You will get new lights on hts
personality, perhaps discovering prob
lems you did not know existed and
wwta of which you had been unaware.

new puddles appearing on either aide
