Democratic wheel-horses ® tell their colleagues that the President's policy in this regard is not fully defined. The "Bea&sh" or depressive talk of materially*slackened business this winter resulting in enormous increases in unemployment has stirred Congress into a frenzy to do something! though they know not what. Whether { a modified tax reduction alone would j ease the tension in business circles is debatable.

The question at issue is whether the disulphide oils which cause the odor are conveyed to the breath by way of the stomach, the blood stream and the lungs, or whether they are simply retailed in the mouth when garlic (or onion) is chewed. It is a question of commercial importance to antiseptic manufacturers. A short time ago two physiologists of Yale university published an account of tests which they said proved that the odor results from particles retained in the mouth. » They let their subject ch£w and swaUbw a bit of garlic; they let him chew it without swallowing, and they also had him swallow garlic in a gelatin capsule without chewing it. In each case they observed the quantity of the odorous oil exhaled. They found that When the garlic was chewed, whether or not it was swallowed, the breath was strongly tainted. But when the garlic was swallowed in a capsule the breath remained sweet. How the Elements Rate in Average Human Body If the chemical elements composing the average human body were isolated and sold at commercial prices they would be worth about $1, says a writer in the Indianapolis News. The United States bureau of chemistry and soils supplies the following estimate of the average percentage of the different elements in the human body; Oxygen, 65; Carbon 18;- hydrogen, 10; nitrogen, 3; calcium, 1.5; phosphorus, 1; potassium, 0.35; sulphur, 0.25; sodium, 0.15; chlorine, 0.15; magnesium, 0.05; iron, 0.004, and iodine, 0.00004. The body also contains minute quantities of fluorine and silicon, and perhaps manganese, zinc, copper and aluminum. Even arsenic has been discussed as being possibly an essential constituent of a normal human body. Those who have attempted to evaluate the elements composing an average human body have met with many difficulties and their figures are nothing more than rough estimates. How to Treat Spider Bites Black widow spiders are easily recognized by the shiny black back and the red spots on the undersideone or more above the spinnerets at the tip of the abdomen, and one farther up shaped like an hour glass. Venom, injected from glands near the base of the jaws, through a needle-like tooth, causes a stinging sensation, followed by pain which progresses from the spot to the chest or abdominal region, and has a retarding effect upon the heart. First aid is to make the wound bleed freely by enlarging it and then apply suction. A few authentic cases of death to human beings from black widow spider bites are on record in this country. How Japanese Kimonos Differ The Japanese boy's kimono i s made of dark striped material, with the sleeves rather short and the garment held together by a black girdle.

Natural beauty should be retained whenever practicable in choosing woodwork finishes. If the wood is beautiful in itself and well matched for color and grain, a varnish or wax finish may be given if the room scheme permits. Inexpensive woods, or others that have been poorly selected, are generally given a finish of paint, enamel, or lacquer. These finishes provide smooth attractive opaque coatings.

Why not permit goldfish to entice away your worldly cares, aches and anxieties? This request, voiced by the Fish Culturists Circle, is leading to startling success, according to a writer in London Tit-Bits Magazine. Worried business men and women, instead of lapsing still deeper into pessimism on their return home, merely sit down before their aquariums and concentrate for a few moments on the antics of their scaly beauties. Miraculously, their troubles vanish, and with soothed minds they enter zestfully into their evening's enjoyment. More and more dentists and specialists are installing aquariums in their waiting rooms. For ohildren, too, fish have a curative fascination. At Paddington Green Children's hospital there is an aquarium in the middle of the surgical ward, and watching its gay inmates circling round and round, children happily forget t,heir ills. Whether in good health or bad, fish will stimulate your interest and vitality, declares Mr^ Watson, the Circle's secretary, , » 1 . •* Why Rheumatic Victim - Can Feel Rain in Air "It's going to raini I feel my rheumatism coming on!" \ This is not such hocus-pocus as we believe, asserts a writer in the Los Angeles Times. The ebb and flux of a so-called rheumatic state is largely determined by the amount of moisture present in the atmosphere. When the atmosphere is moisture "saturated, the exosmosis (discharge of watery gases from the' skill) is partially blocked. The rheumatism then feels worse. Considering rheumatism a retention of waste materials, the inability to discharge such materials through the pores of the skin by reason of the moisture-saturation of the air makes the rheumatic a weather prophet not to be scorned. RINGWOOD ; W* Ounce Is "Os." word is derived from the French "once," which in turn comes from the Latin "uncia," meaning twelfth part. The "oz" is therefore a symbol rather than a true abbreviation. According to the Oxford dictionary it is a Fifteenth century abbreviation of "onza," Italian for "ounce," the abbreviation being retained in English. Other authorities however state that the "z" was used by early printers for the arbitrary mark of terminal contraction. During the Middle ages a character similar to "z" was used at the ends of abbreviated words, and the early printers not having type for the symbol used the "z" which was the nearest to it in the printer's case.

Why Horses Need Shoes "Blacksmith, blacksmith, shoe my nag!" But why do horses have to have shoes at all, when they have fine strong hoofs of their own?After all, nobody shoes wild horses, says London Answers Magazine. But wild horses gallop on grassy plains which are covered in dew every morning. The dew keeps their hoofs soft and therefore uncracked; whereas the horses that draw our loads trot on dry roads with hard surfaces, so that without their iron shoes their hoofs would soon wear away and break. Then, in a short time they would be lame. Why Kb a Canard A canard is a false report or a silly rumor. The word was coined from the French "canard," a duck; the usage arose from the story of cannibalism among' the flock of ducks, who ate one of their number each day until at last they were reduced to one. The story was the "rage" in Pari^ for a time and afterward, when any marvelous recital was heard, the auditor would shrug his shoulders and exclaim: "C'est un canard!"

McHenry and Boone Counties Are Entitled to the Third Judge The position of Circuit Judge is a most important public office.,. It ranks next to that of the Governor in the responsibilities tasting upon its proper administration. With the Judges of our Circuit Courts rest the determination of our most sacred personal and property rights. Our Judges even have power over the lives and liberty of men and women who may be brought before them. No other official in public life below the rank of Governor, sways such responsibility, and it is therefore of utmost importance that the people choose their Judges with utmost care and careful scrutiny. A Circuit Judge will be elected on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 1937, to serve in this circuit, which includes Winnebago, Boone, McHenry and Lake counties. He will fill the vacancy made by the death of the late Judge Edward D. Shurtleff of Marengo. This is a most important election and every legal voter in these four counties should participate iq this election.' WILLIAM L. PIERCE \ OF BHL.VIDHRE is the Republican candidate at this election. The Republican party presents Mr. Pierce as* its candidate because of his eminent fitness for the office. He is_a man of the people. Born and reared on a farm, in early life he attended and graduated from the Marengo High School. From there he went to Belvidere, where he became an employee in the. National Sewing Machine factory, where he earned and saved his money to go through college. After being admitted to the bar he returned to Belvidere to follow the legal profession, in which he has had long years of successful experience. ' Three times he has served as Mayor of his home city and two terms he served in the Illinois Legislature. He retired voluntarily from both offices in order to devote all of his time to his profession. William L. Pierce is eminently fitted for the office of Judge of the Circuit Court* He possesses those rare abilities and attributes required of a trial Judge, and everybody recognises that he will be fair and Impartial, always courteous to lawyers and litigants alike and that his thorough knowledge of the law will Insure unbiased judgments based on the law and the evidence. There are three Judges for each Circuit. Winnebago county to the west now has one, Judge Fisher of Rockford. Lake county to the east has one. Judge Dady of Waukegan. McHenry and Boone counties are entitled to the third and ask for the election of one of their most eminent citizens, William L. Pierce of Belvidere. Mr. Pierce's Opponent is a young attorney living in Waukegan, but who practices his profession in Chicago. He is unknown to the people of McHenry and Boone counties and his whole prospects for election rest upon the efforts of a powerful political organization which reaches into every precinct of the circuit. Politics should not enter into this election. McHenry and Bqpne counties need William L. Pierce in the office of Circuit Judge. He is one of us. He knows us and we know him. Hardly a term of court passes in McHenry coubty that he is not present representing some client from our county. McHenry county should give Willi&m L. Pierce an election on Tuesday, December 7, 1937. BE SURE AND VOTE AT THAT ELECTION.
