Some Klrltt' idee <>' beauty Is a snow white nose, cerise cheeks an' a nut brown Is this weather a foretaste of the way March is coming in or going out? After reading the David Law- J rence story of Woodrow Wilson in The Advance, you can biiy the book if you like; or you can clip each chapter of the story and, pasting it in a scrap-book, make a book of your own if you prefer. * The Advance has been so gratified at the gradual improve ment in the vacant property in the triangle bounded on tho north by Fearing street, on the east by Water and on the north .west by Poindexter, that it has offered hitherto no remons trance at the laggardly rate of this improvement. Today, how ever, wc can not forbear tho suggestion that the floor with the encumbrance thereon of thi dismantled building on Water street near the bridge might have been removed by this time, j The thing was ordered done at I a meeting of the City Council a J month? or was it two months?, ? ago. The Republican Hurvewl No American newspaper, so far as The Advance has seen, has made so scathing a presenta tion of the secret of the stagger ing harvest of demoralization and ruin now being reaped by the Republican party as the New York World. We quote: Having Imbued the country, through the use of skilful propagan da and vast sums of money, with a determination to effect a change at Washington, the Ilepubllcan political leaderB accomplished the change In a crash of Idealism and a triumph of materialism such as the country had never before known. The Unit ed States surrendered the spiritual world leadership which Its great part In the war and the peace had given It; Europe and the League were de serted ; a separate peace with Ger many was made, and the new ad ministration entered upon its taxs In an atmosphere of selfishness and revenge. To help accomplish the defeat of all that Woodrow Wilson had stood for, great sums of money were need ed, and these were supplied by men of wealth, representing industries Which knew exactly what they want ed. Racial groups In America, which the mixed allegiances of the war had embittered, were played upon crafti ly and Induced to vote as hyphenat ed classes Instead of as Americans. The common cause of humanity was made the butt of sneers, and every nation for Itself was the motto of the victors, followed closely by the philosophy of every man for him self. No sooner had Congress assem bled than the payment of the selfish Interests began In the passage of the plundering tariff bill. As the pro cesses of government were used ti pay party debts, and leaders to whom the ]>arty and the Nation had looked for moral strength sat silent while their campaign pledges were being broken ? witness the League proclamation of the Thirty-one ? It was not strange that a thoroughly practical viewpoint should have in vaded the administration itself, and cabinet ministers, seeing all about them the fruits of dishonor ripe for plucking, should have forsaken eth ics and even caution to Join the scramble for personal gain. Into such an atmosphere as this I the private financial necessities of the Secretary of the Interior, Albert II. Fall, projected themselves in No vember, 1921; and he solicited and accepted from a man whom he was in a position to reward with Govern ment favor a loan of $100,000. t't ter recklessness had not, however, kept pace with a sacrifice of official ideals, for the money was delivered in cash and carried from New York to Washington by hand in a satchel. A few weeks later the oil magnate Doheny, from whom S??cretary Kail had solicited and obtained the loan, was awarded, without the necessity of competitive bidding. a Golconda of Government oil reserves. And the other oil magnate. Sin clair, to whom Fall transferred the rest of the naval reserve, also loaned or gave money through his attorney to the desperate politician and sent word to Fall that tlier** was more where the first money came front. Only after repeated evasions. and lies have these ugly truths been brought to light and Justifiable suspicion been cast not only on these dona tions at the cost of the public do main ami the national defense but on every act with which Fall and others in the cabinet had any official connection. The evil political growth of Re publican policy has yielded Its first rotten fruitage. And the harvest has only begun. In others words, seed sown in the darkness of 1920, are brinif ing forth their harvest of ev") fruit in the light of 1924. And, as the World intimates, the end is not yet.

Spring House Cleaning Well, folks. I apprehend It Is ; about time to start spring house cleaning, and If yon do not interpose too many or too vigorous objections, I am going to open the medicine cup board, take out each item, dust it oft. look it over and talk about it with you In a simple friendly way. When we open the medicine cup board the first thing I desire to call to your attention is that you will find nothing in it to suit your pur pose If you are planning to kill any body. This one feature might well serve to Identify and distinguish my medicine cupboard from most of the medicine chests and emergency kits which enable people to do so much damage before the doctor arrives. 1 regret to say that my medicine cup board Is very unsatisfactory to have in the bath room of a household where there is a victim of melan cholia or temporary abberatlon or, perhaps, a superfluous child or two. The cupboard Itself Is about 18 inches wide. 20 Inches high and four inches deep. (Jive any handy man a $70 set of tools and a $45 work bench and he can make one In a few months. There are about two dozen spaces or pigeon holes In the cup board, each to receive a particular Item. Thus on the top shelf are seven four Ounce bottles containing (1) horlc ncld; (2) podium citrate; (3) glycerin; (4) Aromatic spirit* of ammonia; (5? aromatic syrup of rhubarb; (6) oil of sesamum, and (7) milk of magneto! a. Each of these bottles requires a space about 6 Vi x 2 *4 Inches. On the second shelf are 10 one ounce vials containing (8) tincture of lodln; (9) flexible collodion; (10) alum; (11) camphor; (12) acctyl salicvlic acid tablets; (13) phen olphthalein tablets; (14) half a doz en one grain copper sulphate tab lets. and three empty ones for spe cial remedies. These vials require space 4 *4 x 7 Inches. On the third shelf are Ave spaces 3H x 3*4 Inches, for (15) seldllt* powders In tin; (16) mustard flour; (17) several tubes' of sterile petro leum Jelly; (18) several tubes of Old Dor salve; (19) and a tube or two of liniment. No boxes of salve are allowed because they are un clean and uneconomical. On the bottom shelf are four spa ces 4Vi x 5*4 Inches, for (20) Z. O. adhesive plaster; (21) Sterile gauze in envelopes or carton; (22) absorb ent cotton and (23) bandages. We'll tell more about the modi cine cupboard in a few days. Get ready to listen In. QUESTIONS A\l) A NSW Kits. Kverybody Has Worms. Do grown people have worms the same as children; sort of flat white worms, pieces about two Inches long or so ? How would a person get them and what would you do about it? (Mrs. H. A. F.) Answer. ? Yes. Perhaps they are segments or portions of tapeworm. In this country the usual mode of Infestation with tapeworm is by eat ing "measly" beef ? beef which con tains the larval form of tapeworm. The larva may remain alive if the beef is eaten raw or rare, but thor ough rooking kills it. Usually tape ; worm Infestation is not particularly injurious to health. It is advisable to take the specimens to a physician and If necessary submit to treat ment. Attempts at self treatment for tapeworm infestation are risky. The popular notion that underweight! in one who has a big appetite means "tapeworm" is a mistake. In most Instances of actual tapeworm infes tation the individual is not under weight and has an ordinary appetite. The ViMil?hlitfr Chin. I have been told that if I would use "Aqua Ammonia" on the hair underneath my chin and on the side of my face that it would soon dis nppoar. Do you think this is harm ful? (Mrs. S. n.? Answer. ? Visible hairs may be [ rendered somewhat less conspicuous ! by occasional bleaching with per ox i ide, and some women believe that flu- bleaching effect Of' iMffOXidt if increased by mixing a few drops of 'very weak ammonia with It ? weak 1 en the aqua ammonia with water, i Of course no such application will (destroy the hair. Young women j should not begin fussing with the down they have on their skin. This down Is always discoverable if you search for It, and once you begin trying to "destroy" it you've started cultivating a beard. Perhaps the III advised application of all sorts of I cosmetics, together with the rubbing of the face, tends to stimulate the invisible down to heavier Rrowth. The average complexion is best cared for by a healthy let alone pol icy. " ? >-? 'i PLI MBKK 18 DKOWXRD ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON Washington, Feb. 26 ? George] Wilson, aged twenty-four, plumber j by trade, was drowned Sunday! afternoi/n about 5:30 o'clock at the1 foot of East Main street within 100 j yards of the Pamlico Cooperage j Plant.
