Your Child’s Eyes icenter of each. The vesicles of Clear vision plays an important chicken pox contain a lighter and pm t in the education of a child.

cidating the text. If we accept this ; dark, preachment as a fact then we must realize what a vital public problem the conservation of vision really is, for it takes into account not only absolute blindness itself but the more extensive problems of partial blindness which includes every de-

gree of visual impairment. The physician frequently hears

this protest from poorly informed parents: “If we put glasses on one so young he will always have to wear them.” Maybe so; the probabilities are that he ought to continue to wear them; but why? Until the child had the proper lenses

Intercepting Sewer

Just what is the “intercepting sewer” referred to in ouf sanitary

problem?

Answer: Between E. Jackson street bridge and Tilldtson Ave., some fourteen sewers kmpty into White river. The proposed intercept ing sewer would be buried beneath the bed of the river and receive the contents of these fourteen contributaries without contaminating the water of the river. The new sewer would end at the sewage disposal

had been subject to frequent attacks of headache which had never been considered due to defective vision yet, for some reason, he has had no headache since he began wearing glasses. Can we blame a child who has had a nocular defect, and discovers what a blessing his glasses are, for demanding reten-

Health Examinations What is the present status of the .movement toward periodic health

examinations?

for accomplishment.

Statistics relating to partial blindness in children of school age arc unsatisfactory, but it is safe to say that not more than half thechiidren who would be benefitted by properly fitted lenses have had an opportunity for trying them.

o Home Brew

Is the home brew which so many people make harmful to the stomach or kidneys? Answer: I do not know enough about it to enable me to give a positive reply. Old time brewers did not consider beer fit to drink until it had aged for months; therefore we Imve a right to presume that a brew from inexperienced hands, and used in ten^ to fourteen days after starting, lacks something of being perfect. Reading In Bed Is it good practice to read after one goes to bed?

swcr: i jncsume you refer to h observing reasonable * hours." It depends on the person. An individual who is a victim of insomnia may secure real benefit by reading until he becomes drowsy, then lays own his book, turns out the light and goes to sleep. On the other hand a person who can go to sleep readily and who really needs sleep would be foolish to keep his his mind active when it needed repose. Hygeria Do you know of a reliable periodical published in the interests of family health?

these companies it is a good thing for everybody.

Peanuts

Has peanut butter any advantage over whole peanuts as a food?

Answer: It has one advantage: being ground fine the butter has a better chance to be digested and assimilated. It has one disadvantage: in preparing the nuts for grinding the kernels split, allowing most of the tiny life-germules, the part containing the vitamins, to be lost. Whole peanuts sustain about the same relation to peanut butter that butter made from cream holds to oleomargarine. o Blood What is the best thing to thin the blood in the spring time?

Apswer: Yes. Hygeia, published by the American Medical Association, is suitable for old and young, and a sample copy may be procured by writing to 535 N. Dearborn St., Chicago.

Milk What is the most satisfactory substitute for mother’s milk?

Answer: •Every baby must have a diet arranged to meet his particular needs. I believe cow’s milk (mod ilied) will be successful in a larger number of cases than will any other one preparation. Unwholesome Food I bought from my grocer, a piece of meat which was bad, and he refused to return my money. What is the law? Answer: Your experience is unustial. Most dealers are anxious to make good after such an offense, for satisfied patrons are necessary to success. Perhaps you kept the meat too long before returning i.t and the dealer did not consider himself at fault. The law reads; “Whoever knowingly sells * * * any unwholesome provisions * * * shall on conviction be fined not less than ten nor more than five hundred dollars to which may be added imprisonment * * * not more than six months. o—— Quarantined Families Is there a law which compels the Board of Health to furnish fuel and food to families under quarantine? Answer: I have never been able to find such a law.

Smallpox Will you mention some points of difference so that a layman can fell smallpox from chicken pox? What is black smallpox? -A

Answer: We cannot depend on any disease running true to text book description, yet each of the above present a few cardinal features. The eruption of smallpox which appears in a single crop is usually preceded by a severe back•ache, while hi chicken pox there are successive crops so that after a few days vesicles in all stages of development may be found. The pustules of smallpox appear first on the tape and exposed parts and may bn seen on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and contain a ; yellow, thick pus-like material. As these pustules mature there is a slight depression in the

Answer: The only thing that will thin the blood at any tjme is water; therefore the best thing is pure water. Most people drink less than they need during the winter months. V

INDIANAPOLIS 10 BE BATTLEGROUND

Reds and Communists Will Wage War On Capitalism In Less Than a Week.

Indianapolis, Feb. -(UP)—A vast army of reds, communists and unemployed workers are preparing for the dUy, less than a week away, when they will wage war on capitalism in a march on the Federal building, city hall, state capitol and factory gates as a part of a world-wide demonstration, according to a bulletin from the Assorted Employers of Indianapolis. Indianapolis citizens went to work as usual this morning, aware that unemployment conditions were not the best they ever have been, but without realization of the alleged impending attack upon the city, as warned by the employers announcement. 1 The announcement , said communist agitation and leaders have set Feb. 26 as the day for the unemployed demonstrations against capitalists, when hordes of persons in all principle cities of the United States will swarm through downtown and factory districts hearing banners reading, “Tear down Capitalism with its Hell of Starvation and Death,” “Don’t Starve, Fight,” and “Demand Work or Wages.” The bulletin warns Indianapolis employers that recent, demonstrations and riota in other cities were instigated and organized by communist agitators and leaders as “Practice stunts” preliminary to the “Unemployed World-Wide Demanstrations,” which communist organizers plan for next Wednesday. It is charged that vicious communist publications and literature have been circulated among working people of Indianapolis and other cities to inqite so-called “unemployment demonstrations/’ Ji,^ order to: “Instill a hatred in the minds of the workers* against the capitalist system which breeds uneiliployment, and as if result of the struggle of the workers against unemployment, we will take advantage of the economic crisis for the purpose of preparing the ground in mobilization the workers for the proletarian revolution. The Associated Employers’ disclosure told of efforts to organize units of young me^ and women in, the Young Workers (Communist) League which announced in its literature that “The Young Workers >re our Great Hope; they will decide the Future of the American Labor Movement. They are looking xt the new conditions and growing ip with them. We must think in heir terms and make them think of organization.” o v Oil has been found on Arsenal island in the'^Mississippi neai St.
