Eczema Usually Due
Digestion—There are many
jnflammation of the skin. Eczema |
is one of the most common of them.
Infants suffer from it more than |
from: any other skin trouble. It is
a very uncomfortable thing to have. !
It usually ~indicates a’ poor con- |
dition of the digestive tract. Any |
digestive disturbance may be caus- |
ed by irritation of the clothing, too |
strong soap, Or cold, damp winds. |
Like almost every |
to Faulty |
forms of
inflammation, |
eczema begins with a redness of
the skin; then small blisters appear
and break, followed by a scale or!
crust. ‘There ‘is terrible itching, and
a baby may scratch itself badly,
causing infection, unless the finger- |
nails are kept very short. |
Tt most often happens on the !
‘the face, though other forms attack
‘the arms, legs or body. The hands |
may be the seat of trouble. |
Eczema of the scalp in babies
may occur before or after weaning, |
.and pain and soreness of teething
may come with it. The constant
irritation may wear the baby out.
Fresh milk, beef juice and
little orange juice daily should cure
the worst cases. i
Adults in a run-down condition
are apt to have eczema. It may be
the outward signs of a poorly work- |
‘ing stomach and intestines, or it |
may mean that the kidneys are not |
operating properly. |
No matter whether it isthe young.
«child or the adult who is afflicted |
with this trouble, the first thing to
do is to regulate the bowels. The
diet must be looked into thoroughly
and corrected. i
In infants diet is of especial im-
portance. Fat must be reduced and’
- constipation corrected. Probably
- something in the food will have to
be changed at your doctor’s direc-
-tion.
Too highly seasoned food or alco-
holic stimulants may produce this
skin disease. Any excess in the diet
must be overcome before a person
may expect to cure the eczema.
The local treatment for infants
and adults is about the same. i
There are many persons who have:
sensitive skins. In such cases noth-'
ing but the purest water, such as
distilled water, should be used, or!
water softened by the use of borax.
“The mildest soaps should be used.
In eczema the thick crusts which
form may be removed by using a
poultice made of boracic acid and
starch. i
Make it into paste by mixing four
tablespoonsful of starch and one-
half tablespoonful of boracic acid
with a little cold water. '
Stir until the powders are dis-
‘solved. Then pour on one-half or
more of boiling water and stir brisk-
ly. When cool spread a little on
gauze or thin, clean cloth and ap-
ply. After a few hours the crusts
will be softened and the poultice
can be removed without irritating
‘the tender skin.
For the distressing itching which
comes with eczema ordinary baking
‘soda and water will relieve it in a
solution for outward application.
‘One tablespoonful of hyposulphite
of soda to a quart of water makes
-an excellent solution for outside ap-
‘plication,
Balanced Diet.—We are living
‘today in an age of great activity.
It is necessary that we have the
proper food to keep the body in
good condition.
Every housewife must feel the
responsibility of choosing the right
food to keep her family physically
fit. There are certain simple rules
fo follow.
The important foods which produce
energy and repair body waste are
divided into three general classes—
“proteins, carbohydrates and fats. A
balanced diet calls for these food
elements in the following propor-
tions:
One part of protein made up of
the flesh foods, like meats, eggs
and the dairy products. These are
for building and repairing the mus-
cles and framework of the body.
Three parts of fat, such as are
found in butter, cream, oils and
cooking fats, oily nuts and fat
meats. These furnish energy and
yound out the body. They give
flexibility to the joints and the
‘muscles.
Six parts of carbohydrates, made
up of sugars and starches, such as
potatoe, cereals, bread, sugars and
other sweets. These furnish heat
and energy.
There are other foods, also, that
are needed to provide the mineral
salts. These elements go to make
the teeth, bones and other tissues
of the body. The foods must con-
tain roughage and a sufficient vit-
amin content to protect the body
from disease.
Meals are not necessarily well bal-
anced even whefl they contain one
of each class of foods,
pends upon the proportions used.
Do not use too many similar foods;
variety shuld be the rule.
If you have meat for dinner, you
should not include a dessert made
up of milk and eggs. If you do it
will be supplying more protein than
is necessary. If the meal includes
no meat, but bread, butter and
vegetables, then you will
tard or rice pudding made mostly
of milk.

«BEE KING” OF AMERICA
“HAS BILLION WORKERS.
Two hundred miles of bee hives
“in an unbroken chain
around the great Okenfenokee swamp
near Waycross, Ga., together with
hives set in every pemetrable por-
{tion of the vast lowland, make up
one of the world’s largest apiaries.
This swamp is second only to the
Florida Everglades.
J. J. Wilder, owner of this mam-
moth colony of bees, declares that
contentment of workers is an essen-
tial to the hney-making business as
to any other industry.
The wilderness of Okefenokee
abounds in the things necessary to
bee contentment. Tupelo gum and
gall berries, which make honey that
will not granulate, are found in the
swamp with hundreds of other wild
flowers attractive to honey bees.
Wilder's desire to become a bee
raiser was born when he was four
years old. His mother denied him
the privilege of eating all the honey
he wanted, so he decided when he
grew up he would own SO many
bees he could eat honey with every
meal.
In
ested
his early teens he became inter-
in bee culture. He placed the
bees in a glass hive, where he
watchd every move the bees made.
From that hive has grown a busi-
ness producing nearly 1,000,000
pounds of honey a year, which is
shipped to all parts of the world.
During the World war the govern-
ment took Mr. Wilder's entire out-
put and sent it to Europe. He now
owns more than 1,000,000,000 bees
filling 15,000 hives.

SPRAY RINGS INSURE HIGH
QUALITY WISCONSIN FRUIT.
Wisconsin's 169 spray rings, with
a combined membership of 1,800
persons living in 27 different coun-
8 ties, account for the high quality
of Badger apples grown during the
season of 1929, according to C. L.
Kuehner, extension horticulturist at
the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture.
Consistently high yields and fav-
orable ‘prices reward extra effort
on the part of farm orchardists,
says Kuehner.
Wisconsin spray rings, especially
emphasizing insect control, disease
eradiction, orchard fertilization,
hand picking, grading, and careful
packing have aided the improvement
of fruit quality.
Spray rings, in addition to rais-
ing the yield and improving the
quality of Wisconsin apples, have
afforded their members opportunity
to pool their resources in purchas-
'ign supplies. Consequently consider-
able savings in the amount of cash
that necessarily needs to be ex-
pended for the purchase of spray
materials, fertilizers, grading ma-
chinery, and other orchard supplies
have made possible, Kuehner points
out.
TOO MUCH WOOD LEFT IN
PRUNING THE RASPBERRY.
When it comes to pruning the
black raspberry, most growers leave
too much wood—that is, leave too
many canes and too long side
shoots, or canes, on the upright
canes. In the spring, when the young
canes are about three feet high, nip
their tips off, thus causing them to
branch and become sturdy and
strong, forming a well-shaped bush.
No further nipping or heading back,
is necessary until the following
spring before any signs of growth
takes place. Go through at that
time and cut out the weak, slender,
unevenly branched ones, leaving not
over six or seven of the strongest
sturdiest ones, and the laterals or
side branches, on; these should be
cut back to four or five inches. Here
is where most growers make their
mistake in pruning black raspber-
ries—they leave these side branches
too long.
EXHAUST CLEARS FOG IN
FRONT OF AN AUTOMOBILE.
Hot air sprayed out in front of
an automobile by an attachment on
tne exhaust of the car has been
found effective in clearing away
London’s time-honored fog, the
American Automobile association
reports.
The rising current of heated air
created by the device, a recent in-
vention, literally lifts the fog about
ten feet in front of the front wheels
and does it quickly enough to per-
mit a forward speed of about fifteen
miles an hour in the densest fog.
The fog lifter can be attache to
any car's exhaust and is much sim-
pler than the average windshield
wiper. = It has been tried out in
London and is being adopted by the
motorists there.
The jury had acquitted the defend-
ant of horse stealing because of
the powerful plea of his lawyer.
“Honor bright, now, Bill, said
the lawyer, as the two left the
court house, ‘‘you did steal the horse.
didnt you?”
«Well, now look here. I'll be hon-
est with you. I always did think I
stole that horse until I heard you
make that speech to the jury. Now
‘T'll be doggoned if I ain't got my
doubts about it.”
He (dreamily)—Would that I were
a star in yon heavens.
She (icily)—I'd rather you were
a comet.
| “Why ?”
i «Then you'd come around only
once every fifty years.”
| Tillie: “But mother, I can’t mar-
ry him, He's an atheist, and doesn’t
believe there is a hell,”
'! Mother: “Go ahead and marry
him, dear, and between us we'll
convince him he’s wrong.”
| A teacher asked her class to state
the difference between the words
“results” and “consequences.”
A bright girl replied: “Results are
'what we expect and consequences
‘are what we get.”
EVIL SPIRITS IN
ECUADOR WILDS.
|
Assassins Paid to Carry on
~ Strife Bred by Old i
Land Grants.
Guayaquil.—The stretch of land ly-
ing between the Vinces and Pueblo- |
viejo rivers on the western bank of |
the Guayas contains some of the best
cattle. and cacao farms of Ecuador,
and its dark, dank forests of cacao
trees seem to be the stronghold of the
spirit of murder—that is, deliberately
planned slayings by hired assassins,
who are ready for a few dollars to |
snuff out a man’s life with a shotgun
from behind some thicket, or, as in |
the case of the recent Mendoza kill-
ing this city, even in a theater crowd.
There are reasons for this, deep-
rooted in the form of the land hold-
ings, which date back to old grants
either to former Spanish function-
aries of the crown for services, or to
old revolutionary soldiers. The grants
have been sold in the form of shares
which were never properly surveyed
or delimited, and disputes over them
engender hatred. The inefficiency of
the laws for punishing cattle-stealing
and other forms of lawlessness and
the opportunity offered by the fre-
quent revolutions for some bandit or
bad man to commit crimes with im-
punity to the war cry of “Viva some-
body or other” also forced the larger
plantation owners to organize their
own bands of guards in self-defense
Paves Way for Slaughter.
But once the respect for human
life was lost through indulgence in
more or less warranted and legiti-
mate killings of real bandits and rob-
bers, it was an easy step to killing an
obstreperous neighbor, who may or
may not have had some right to his
claims to land.
One's sensations in riding for the
first time in a large cacao plantation
are errie. For miles one is hemmed
in on all sides by the closely planted
trees—at distances of nine to twelve
feet—the tops of which meet over-
head to shut out the sun completely,
making it impossible to see more than
a couple of hundred yards at the most
directly down the row one is riding in,
and then only in a comparatively
young plantation. Every acre or SO
there is a large matapalo tree with
its many buttresses making ideal hid-
ing places for any sort of real or
imaginary peril, and so even to the
foreigner at peace with all the world
there comes a feeling of uneasiness
and even dread. One can imagine the
sensations of some hacendado threat-
ened by an enemy or of one who has
had to use the “law of flight” on some
cattle thief. =
This is where the recent murder of
Enrique Mendoza, prominent planter,
which has startled Guayaquil, had its
origin, All the principals in this trag-
edy have holdings in this fearsome
district, and while most of them had
lived in Europe, the force of custom
and perhaps circumstances was great-
er than the restraining influence of
any associations abroad.
From the current versions of the
crime, it seems that the younger Men-
dozas, Alberto and Enrique, consid-
ered themselves wronged by their
uncle Felipe and his agent in Guaya-
quil, Lautaro Aspiazu, and that En-
riqgue had threatened Asplazu. The
actual killer, who was imported for
the deed from up the river, asserts he
was hired by Aspiazu to do the job
for 6,000 sucres, and that he was
promised immunity.
Strange Third Degree.
When this man, Carriel Pincay, was
in jail he was submitted to a strange
form of third degree. When his food
was brought in the sentry halted the
pearer and said that all food for him
was suspected of being poisoned, and
so it must be tested on a dog. There-
upon some of the meal was fed to a
stray cur, which died in typical
strychnine convulsions. This so im-
pressed Carriel Pincay, although ft
was betraying one of his former mas-
ters, that he made a clean breast of
all the circumstances of the recent
killing, as well as of many more, tell-
ing of the famous alligator pool into
which Felipe Mendoza was said to
have thrown severad persons, and giv-
ing details of several famous murders
in years past.
Carriel Pincay, who had run bare
foot all his life and was dressed up
so that he would not attract so much
attention as he awaited his intended
victim on the theater steps, tried to
run after stabbing Enrique Mendoza,
who was leaving the theater after
the Sunday evening performance with
his wife. But Carriel Pincay was
caught easily. He said he could not
run with shoes on, as they hurt his
feet.
He received 100 sucres in advance
for his “trabajito,” or little job, and
now, in jail and to be tried for mur-
der, he is trying to get a lawyer to
bring suit against Aspiazu and Men-
doza for the 5,900 sucres which he
asserts are due him.
Japanese Girls Knew Art
of Makeup Centuries Ago
New Orleans.—Centuries before the
European or American woman found
lipstick and rouge necessary aids to
beauty, the Japanese girl knew the
art of facial make-up, Mrs. Katsufl
Debuchi, wife of the Japanese ambas-
gador to the United States, visiting
in New Orleans, said. The powder
was really a paste, however, and

Loving Restraint Need
of Modern Generation’
Don Juan is by no means a master
of love. On the contrary, he cannot
love, because he has not learned that
which can be experienced only at
home in the nursery—fidelity. He who
has seen at home how true parents
are to each other, how faithful is their
ove for thelr children, as a rule will
himself become a faithful and depend-
able person. He will simply copy
what he has seen at home. Today
we are in a tidal wave of faithless-
ness. The innumerable divorces of
our day will become even more num-
erous when the children of the di-
vorced parents grow up. They very
likely will not be faithful to their sex
partners, because they have not expe-
rienced what fidelity is, and what its
value may be. They miss the happi-
ness and satisfaction of fidelity, and
take freedom in exchange. They are
appallingly free. They can always ful-
fill their desires until the fulfillment
itself is no more desired. Within their
souls they long for duties.
In the hands of a guide one is apt
to be abused. Love is the only pro-
tection against abuse. If we love our
guide we never feel abused, and if he
Joves us he will certainly not abuse
us. All of us have met such guides
in our childhood. The few—becoming
less and less rare—who have not en-
joyed this experience in their first
years, it seems to me, can never be
entirely happy. Freedom is all right,
but affectionate coercion is also a
necessity for men as well as for ani-
mals.—From “Critique of Love,” by
Fritz Wittels.
Varying Opinions as to
“Books All Should Have”
There is a house in Chelsea which
bears the intriguing sign, “The House
of the Nine Books.” The nine books
are those which, in the occupiers’
opinion, ought to be in every home.
They are the Bible, Plato's “Re-
public,” Homer, Horace, “The Ara-
bian Nights,” Dante's “Divine Com-
edy,” “Don Quixote,” Shakespeare, and
Grimms “Fairy Tales.”
This is an interesting list, but how
many people will agree with 1t? Many
of us would like to substitute Milton
for Horace; and if Grimm is included
for the children’s benefit, wouldn’t
Hans Christian Anderson be a bettex
~hoice?
But no two people would make out
the same list. What would you say
were the nine books that ought to be
in every home? Write them down
and ask your friends to do the same,
and you will be amazed, both at the
variety of the titles, and also at the
way in which some of them occur in
every, or almost every, list.—London

Friend of the Helpless
Margaret Haughley, after being left
an orphan and later losing her hus-
band and baby, went to work as a
laundress in a hotel in New Orleans.
She spent part of every day visiting
the orphans’ home and taking food to
them. She secured this food by ask-
ing various merchants for it. Later she
established a dairy and bakery which
were very successful. The money
which she made she spent for her
orphans. Through her generosity three
large orphan homes were erected in
New Orleans, besides a home for the
aged and infirm. The statue erected
in her honor in New Orleans is said
to be the first statue of a woman ever
erected in the United States.

Famous Pair of Friends
Damon and Pythias lived in the
fourth century B. C. Damon, a Pyth-
agorean of Syracuse, was celebrated
for his friendship with Pythias, or
Phintias, a member of the same sect.
Pythias plotted against the life of
Dionysius I of Syracuse and was con-
demned to die. As Pythias wished to
arrange his affairs, Damon offered te
place himself in the tyrant’s hands as
his substitute, and to die In his stead
should he not return on the appointed
day. At the last moment Pythias
came back and Dionysius was 80
struck by the fidelity of the friends
that he pardoned the offender and
begged to be admitted into their fel-
\owship.

Assemblies of Bards
The word eisteddford (from the
Welsh eistedd, to sit) is a name ap-
plied generally in Welsh to any meet-
ing or concourse of people, but more
particularly to the assemblies, who
anciently formed an hereditary order.
These meetings were forbidden by Ed-
ward I, at the conquest of Wales, but
they were renewed by Henry VII, who
was of Welsh origin. They were re-
vived during the last century, and
eisteddfods are held periodically at
various Welsh towns in succession at
which prizes are awarded for pro-
ficiency in the Welsh tongue, and for
poems in that language, and playing
on the harp.
Long Symbol of Authority
Since the days of ancient Rome the
fasces has been the symbol of author-
ity. Originally it was a bundle of elm
or birch rods, from which the head of
an ax projected, fastened together
with a red strap. In the beginning
this was an emblem of authority car-
sled by lctors. This country is as
much at liberty to use this ancient em-
blem of authority as is the Fascist gov-
ernment of Italy. It is a coincidence
that on certain of our coins what is
now the Fascist emblem should have
gor many years been a part of the dee-
orative design.—Washington Star.
