TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 2>\. 1924
Constable Plum has censored th*
film, "Th* Kucha n tress o' th' .Nile,"
now showln' at th' nickel the-ater,
an' ordered eighty-five feet cut off
th* kiss in tl?' second reel. Some

Is this weather a foretaste of
the way March is coming in or

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
