Or clean Jt with oxalic add, one-third strength, being careful not to touch the glass with the acid.

JOHN HARVEY KELLOGO WI1KN attacks of vertigo occur only oc casionally, they arc very likely duo to Indication; It must be remembered, how ever, that In certain mild forms of epilepsy the, patient suffers from nttnrka which are often described as vcrtlpjo, tho so-cnlled petit mal. When tho vertigo Is cry fre quent, some profound disturbance of tho bodily functions almost certainly exIM.i There may be hardening; of the arteries, de feneration of the heart or kidneys or some other grave condition. Occasionally the Blddlness tnsy bo the result of the use of drugs, especially of hendncho powders and sleep-produclnsr drugs. Ilromldo of potash causes very severe Nertlgo when freely used In ocry case of vcrtlRO the cause must be diligently Bought for and removed. When tho attack is accompanied by pallor the patient should lie down, or If this is In convenient, he may simply bend the body forward so as to hold the head as low down as possible If the faco is flushed, tho patient should lie down with tho head well propped up nnd cold cloths should be ap plied to the neck and head. Not Infrequently the causo of giddiness is simply constipation l'olsons absorbed from the colon affect the brain as do certain drugs. An enema may be given for tempo rary relief, but the real remedy will be found In training the bowels to mov well thrco or four times a day. Certain porsons suffer from vertigo after Liking an mema. Tho cause may bo the. drawing of too much blood to the abdominal vessels. Using water at SO degrees Fahren heit or less will usually present thevertlgo. Vertigo Is likely to follow a very long hot bath because of tho weakening effect of the bath upon tho heart and the great dila tation of tho surface vessels. A dash of cold water will cause the symptoms to dis appear. Vertigo with prUlor may usually be re lieved by a dash of cold water upon tho faco and chest or by applying hot cloths to tho head. Neurasthenics often suffer much from vertigo. In such caaes tho ertlgo is usually accompanied by a feeling of con striction or a "band" sensation in tho head with a ronsatlon of pressure at tho back of tho head. There are aUo "numbness" and other disturbances In various partB of tho body In these cases, hot nppllcat ons to the top and back of tho head uffoid relief. Bathing the faco with hot water is also beneficial. Pyorrhea and Loosened Teeth Is there a cure for pyorrhea and loosened teeth? I should like a home prescription. ALILL. Pyorrhea Is an obstlnato disease, but often it may be cured. You will need treat ment from a skillful dentist for some time, and the dentist will glvo you such prescrip tion for home use aB he thinks suited to your case. Every case of pyorrhea needs prompt attention. Rheumatism, eye dis ease and various other serious maladies originate in mouth Infections. It is most Important to train the bowels to move three times a day and to so regulate the diet as to keep tho tongue clean and the breath sweet. Treatment for Swollen Thyroid Gland What It the effective treatment for a slightly swollen thyroid gland? Miss J M i It Is Impossible to prescribe for such n case without a thorough examination of the patient. Consult a physician. Nasal Obstruction and Cold In the Head Will tho obstruction of tho nasal passages that extend -to the throat causo a i continual cold in the head? DOKOTHY H. What seems to be a cold In tho head is probably an Inflamed condition of the mucoUB membrane of tho nose and throat caused by obstruction. It may be some growth In the nose, a deflected septum, adenoids or enlarged tonsils. You Miould consult an experienced nose anu i iroat spe cialist and follow his advice.

I refused to send Jim any more money and the other night a man walked along tho Btrcot with me nnd said, "Jim wants you to send him fifty." I said, "I haven't got It to send, I am busted." He bent his head toward me and said, "Jim said to tell you that If you didn't send the dough, lie would take tho kid." I Just near went cold nt that, and the man saw It scared me white I had my week's pay in my bag and like a fool I gavo him twenty, which tipped my hand off to them, showing I was seared for tho kid.

TO Iin bombed In broad daylight by hos tile aircraft' in London wo are growing accustomed to that highly unpleasant sensation. The Germans arc determined that "fright fulness" shall hold sway over the Lon don streets. Last year we Londoners could look up on fine days Into a sky of limitless blue. "We could dream very pretty and quite harmless dreams of freedom matching that Infinite space. The town might be stuffy The streets might bo dusty. Tho noise of the London traffic might bo nerve racking. But there was the sky. Now, however, we live In times of progress. As we look up Into the t-ky. nnd fee a white woolly cloud ELLEN ADAHl drifting Idly across It, we remark: "I won- der if that's a Hun aeroplane?' Thero's a horrid little shiver back of our question, too. For the peril from the air Is very real and very potent theso days. We watch the little harmless-looking cloud for a few minutes. Then bang! bang! bang! Yes, sure enough. It holds a hostile neroplane. Perhaps, when evening comes, we feel a llttlo safer. We gaze up at the deep bluo sky and watch the little stara come out, ono by one. How pretty and Innocent they look! But Is that a star? "I pay, you people there, Is that n star, or a Zepp?" Tho question comes a little nervously. Bang! Bang! Bangl It's a Zeppelin, after alt! Progress? What next? More progress, I suppose. Arid that means still less peace. "As for us In England today, we are no longer In a 'nice little, tight little, sate little Island' as the old song says. Even In broad daylight, when the summer sun beams cheerfully down upon us, the enemy aeroplanes come hovering over our heads, and work their havoc In our midst WHAT A DAY ATTACK IS "The people of America cannot comprehend the awfulness of a daylight air attack. Night raids are bad enough but somehow one feels 'safer' during the night. But to be caught In tho full light of day to bo forced to witness the most horrible scenes of carnage and of death right In one's midst words can't express the feeling In tho heart of London, for Instance, I witnessed the removal of some of the vic tims of a daylight raid They wero about a dozen young girls and children, The pave ment literally ran with blood. A handsome motorcar hurried up nnd tho chauffeur and tho owner helped to lift three of the girls into the car The dellcato gray leather cushions and fittings of the car turned Into crimson, and apparently two of the girls were dying. A third was conscious her arm had been completely severed and the chauffeur tied his leather belt round what was left of It very tightly, so that the poor child might not bleed to death before they got her to the hospital. It's the easiest thing In the world to read about such things. It's the most heart rending thing In the world to watch them actually happen I was walking in street (the censor will not let me mention names) in the heart of London, when a daylight raid occurred.

THE TRAIL OF MUItDER In the poorest quarter of London thtna was a veritable trail of murder. I thisW tho crowning infamy was the killing tjB maiming of many llttlo children In an ltJ fants school.

The bomb dropped from the Germnn airplane went through two floors, killing and wounalni ! several children on each floor, but It wti J on the ground Moor that it exploded nl worked its most terrible havoc Abort' forty llttlo tots between the ages of ntij and seven were at work here, and rt tually none escaped.

' In the front part of the room, whtri." the bomb exploded, was a holo three fert deep. Everything was smashed to' atom I Most of the little children were terrlblri mutilated.
