Old cold sores on the lip which do pot heal within a reasonable time; old warts or pimples on the face which almost heal up, when become irritated, bleed a little, scab Over and almost heal up again, only to become irritated once more, and -so on. There is a great deal of foolish prej udice against what the crook with an alleged cancer cure likes to call “the knife.” This prejudice may have been justified in the ancient days when an operation was painful and very dan gerous; then the doctors had no anes thetics and knew nothing about the ways of preventing blood-poisoning, and so an operation was a very ser- A5K the man WH O K.TNIOW5 DON’T TINKER WITH OLD SORES. Let Your Doctor See Them.—They May be the Beginning of Cancer. ious adventure, no matter how trifling. At present, with either, chloroform, oxygen or nitrous oxide, (laughing gas), and other safe anesthetics, as well as the local anesthetics which render minor operations absolutely painless, there is nothing about sur gery to dread, and under modern methods there is less danger of blood- poisoning following an operation than there is after the use of alleged heal ing salves and cancer pastes. Rarely it may be impossible, for some reason, to give a patient an anes thetic, and hence a cancer paste may be the only choice, but it is a far more dangerous remedy, and far less certain to cure cancer than operation. Many little sores about the lips, the cheek, or on the skin anywhere, which remain irritated and refuse to heal for a period of three months or longer, are skin cancers, though it may be many months, ever- years in some cases, before the growth' will spread nr become alarming. For mere safety, 'i.nd forafort. therefore, the wise plan is to have such sores surgically treat ed, by your physician or a surgeon he will recommend. Take a wart, for in stance. Often enough it resists each and every alleged remedy and only becomes more irritated the more you tinker with it. But, with the aid of a local anesthetic, it can be removed in a few minutes, and that is the end oC the trouble. WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN Number Two Yosassg Reserve strength for mother hood is of two-fold importance and thoughtful women before and after maternity take Jirrimie Collins Tells What He Saw— What Military training Does : for Boys. :COTT’ t’eople like to Imagine that this or that application possesses some mys terious “healing” virtue. No remedy, we care not what its nature, makes a sore heal. The physician prescribes certain remedies to accomplish defi nite things which he finds necessary to aid Nature in the healing process. Yet the fact remains that Nature al ways does the healing, and at a rate which cannot be fastened by human agencies.' Healing, however, may be retarded or prevented by ill-advised applications to a wound or sore, and this is the reason why it is always more economical to let your doctor de cide what is best to put on a wound or sore, for naturally he understands such things much better than a mere druggist or a manufacturer or medi cine, or an old woman, or the patient himself. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Don’t Poultice a Boil. Will you tell me what causes boils? Are they contagious? Not long ago I had one on my arm, now I have sev eral. What is a good treatment for boils? Answer—A boll, or “furuncle” as the surgeons say, is nothing but an abscess of the skin. The essential cause is the pus germ. Not in the sense that measles or whooping cough is. The pus germ is only capable of penetrating the skin in rare instances. They generally gain ad mittance through a hair follicle or “skin” gland. They are conveyed from the skin on one part of the body to another by contact, as scratching. The prophylac tic treatment consists of cleanliness. A person having one or*more boils should take a warm bath at least four times a week, using soap free from alkalis and fancy perfumery. When a boil first oc curs try to abort it by touching with pure carbolic acid; and paint around it with tincture of iodine. If it goes on and pus forms, go at once to a good doctor, one who gets red in the face if you suggest applying a poultice or greasy salve. A hot compress will do all the good any poultice can do and does it without in curring a:iy danger. The right doctor will take a sharp knife and open thor oughly and finish by applying a sterile dressing. Bad Stuff in Cough Medicine. Is medicine containing one grain of opium to the ounce good to stop a cough from chronic bronchial trouble? Answer—Such medicine would be m< likely to make the bronchitis much worse in the end. Opium, morphine, heroin, codeine—all derived from opium—are bad for any cough. The.se narcotics merely lull the brain for the time being, make you forget the cough.'but meanwhile the ] disease is getting a firmer foothold, and I when you come to thinic, after the -Trst ' bottle is empty, you will discover you are I worse than in the beginning. Very rarely 1 a doctor may find it advisable to stop or 1 diminish a cough temporarily, but it is a precarious business, and you had better not take the risk on j’our own responsi bility. A CABINET MAN’S WAR BREAD Mrs. Gregory Gives the Recipe for the Kind She Feeds Her Husband “On what meat doth this, our Gasar, feed that he has gTown so great?” was asked by one of the famous band of conspirators, and before and since that time the ■world has been much in terested in the food of its celebrities. That makes particularly interesting the oatme.d bread on which Mrs. 7.'homa3 Y/a'i; Gregoiy, wife of the Attorney G-.n-e-al of the'United-State®, feeds her iiushand.

Knead again, let rise in pan until light. Bake in a mod erate oven from fifty to sixty min utes.” Clothes for Babies I A new Red Cross activity, which is likely to appeal to women of the rural communities is the making of outfits ! for new-born babies in Francs and Bel- , gium. A committee of the Women’s 'Bureau of the American Red Cross, which went to Europe to investigate ^ civilian relief needs, made a report ir. ’ which the supplying of such outfits was strongly urged. Leaflets explain ing just what is needed in the way of ga.rments an.’' material may be ob tained from Red Cross chapters. Owing to the rough methods that must be followed in washing cio'bhes in the war countries it is essential that the most durable materials be used in making garments for these .baby out fits. While the making of the outfit? will be cai-ried on extensively in Red Cross chapter 'work-rooms, |,he work is ! of a character which pei*mits much of it to be done in homes; only it is necessaiy to follow the simple direc tions. The directions, moreover, will be of great lielp to women who desire practical suggestions for baby outfits which are intended for home use ox for relief work in this country.

That’s the only name be knows. He’s the pitcher of our base ball nine, and he’s some pitcher, too. Just feel of his arm.” “Well,” said Uncle Dan, feeling, “That’s a mighty good arm!” “Now, boys,” said Uncle Dan, “what, do you want to talk about?” “Well,” said Jimmie, “I was do'wn to Galesburg a few months ago when the boys came ■ home from the Mexican border. They looked fine. Everybody was .surprised to see how straight they stood and how manly they were. The boys seemed proud to wear the uni form. I tell you their muscles were as hard as nails. I heard Banker Haskett say that the training and discipline the boys bad had was exactly what every boy in the counti-y ought to have, and that now these boys could get a better job at higher pay than they could have had before. Do you think that’s so, Uncle Dan?” Uncle Dan replied: “I have a friend who employs hundreds of young men. He always gives boys having had military training the preference; he says it pays to do so. He finds they are more alert, more prompt, more courteous; they know how to- carry out orders; they are quicker to think and to act than those without Training. He said from his experience he believed that six or eight months of intensive military training would add at least 20 per cent to a man’s It supplies pure cod liver oil for rich blood and contains lime and soda with medicinal glycerine, all important ingredi ents for strengthening the nervous system and furnishing abundant nourishment.

Scott &nowne, Bloomfield,N.J. 17-39 f# M.!' i Fall and Winter Plowing One important piece of the spring work which can often be gotten out of the way in the fall and only w’inter to good advantage is a part at least of the plowing. Officials of the Ag ricultural Extension Service of the North Carolina Agricultural College gives the following arguments in its favor: j 1. There is more time in fall than spring and every day saved can be used for preparing and planting when i the spring rush comes. ! 2. Hired help can be kept employ ed at this and other -winter woi-k in stead of being turned off and lost, i 3. Teams are harder and in better •working condition in fall, and the weather is cooler for the heavy work. I 4. Land is generally in good con dition to turn in fall, which may be too wet early or too dry later if left unil spring. 5. Stiff', “bakey” soils may be crum bled ' and improved in condition and some plant-food freed by exposure to freezing and 'thawing. 6. Tough sods will rot more quick- ; ly if fall-plowed, and can be disked j up into a better seed-bed with less la- ■ bor. j 7. Fall-plowed land,left rough, will ! absorb more water'and melting snow, j 8. Wire worms, white grabs, and other insect pests, s well as shallow- I rooted weeds such as garlic and weedy grasses, are injured and often killed , by turning up and freezing. I Light soils subject to washing should not be plowed in the fall. . There is little danger of difficulty in , working fall-plowed land up loose and mellow, if a disk harrow is used when moisture conditions are right.

Uncle ^Dan, showing the pictures, said: “Well, here they are. The^-'tell their own story and it is a mighty interesting one. The young man, before training, has a discouraged look; lie has seen but little of the world. There was very little in his surroundings to bring him out. When hfe joined the colors and Uncle Sam took him in charge, life for him took on a new meaning. He saw a chance to do something and be something. He woke up. His cap tain says he is* twice the man he was ■\vhen he joined the army. This may be one of the extreme cases,” said Uncle Dan. “I can tell you, though, that ■war or no war, no one thing will do the young men of this nation so much good In so short a time as a few months of intensive military training. It fits a man to fight his own life bat tles in the business -w’orld as well as to defend his country and its flag, “Nearly every civilized country gives its boys military training. It is com pulsory. It is based upon the fact that it is the duty of everyone to help de fend his country; and as war is now carried on, no one can do much unless he is trained.

My dear Kaiser: I have followed the Styx seven times around Hades looking for sailors to send up to help man your submarines. But they all refuse, although I did come near signing up Captain Kidd, who has been here since 1701. I “Kidd,” I told him, “Wilhelm of Prussia is in trouble. He offers extra pay, longer furloughs, and special food to German sailors to man his submai'ines, but they do not like the work. Here’s a chance for a good job. You take your crew up, command a German submarine and sink more ships in a day than you ever destroyed in your lifetime.” He seemed to like the idea until he had talked with some of his crew— ^Bartholomew Roberts, who came down in 1722 after his battle with Captain Chaloner on the African coast, Captain Every and a Malay pirate who is an especial friend of Kidd’s. Finally ho came back to me and said he wouldn’t go. I told him you wei’c one of my best friends and helpers, but all you could get out of him was that his crew would mutiny if they had to kill wo men and children. “Wilhelm’s subma rining is too dirty,” he kept repeat ing, “I’d rather stay in Hades.” I’m sorry I haven’t been able to send you a crew from here, but that is the way the matter stands. Yours for victory, Beelzebub.
