Democratic strategists are emitting a formid able smoke screen .behind 'which to conceal the incompetent blundering of their party, using at the moment the League of Nations to afford the covering cloud. Their difficulty comes from the fact that they are compelled to spread the material too thin; there is too much to hide and not enough material to obscure all. The republican platform is clear and distinct in its statement of the party's position. It de clares for world peace, and pledges all the re sources of the nation to mamtainNxpeace, as suring id to our associates in the war in carry ing out this great end. There, is no quibble or anything even remotely evasive in the Chicago platforrn on this point. But it does make plain that the republican party intends to preserve the integrity and independence of the United States of America. One paragraph of the plat form says: The republican party stands for agree ment among- the nations to preserve the peace of the world. We believe that such an inter national assertion must be based upon inter national justice and must provide methods which shall maintain the rule of public right by development of law and the decision of impartial courts, and which shall secure in stant and general international conference whenever peace shall be threatened by polit ical action, so that the nations pledged to do . and insist upon what is just and fair may exercise their influence and power for the pre vention of wan We believe that all this may be done without the compromise of national independence, without depriving the people of the United States in advance of the right- to determine for themselves what is just and fair, when the occasion arises, and without involv ing them ai participants and not as peacemak ers in a multitude of quarrels, the merits of which they are unable to judge. This is the position taken by a targe ina jority of the senators in dealing wiht the treaty. Twenty-seven democratic senators voted for the adoption of a reservation which contains this policy. Its sincerity is beyond question. Instead of making a similar dignified and frank statement, the democratic platform twangs on the single string of the covenant, seeking" to please the president and to befuddle the public, but devitalizing entirely its declara tion by the adoption of the Walsh amendment to the Glass platform, deliberately avoiding stern commitment to the very thing for which the president has contended, and which a ma jority of the senators of his own party rejected. The contrast between the open manly stand of the republican party and the undignified straddle of the democrats is so striking that it can not escape the condemnation of the voters. The Chicago platform tells the world just what the Republicans expect to do; the San Francisco utterance intentionally leaves even its framers in doubt as to its meaning. Can the advocates of world agreement for preservation of peace hesitate in determining which party is sincere and honest in its purpose? ' Bubonic Plague and Yellow Fever. The dread bubonic plague, which appeared in the United States several weeks ago, is at present confined to Galveston, Pensacola and New Orleans. It is now declared that the, rat is almost wholly responsible for the spread of this terrifying disorder, and warnings have been issued for war on rats everywhere. We- fear there can be no hope for the extermination of the rat, which is not only a disease carrier, but is said to eat $180,000,000 worth of good food anually, to say nothing of what it destroys over and above its food necessities. ' Mention of New Orleans recalls that city's prominence in another pestlience that often got its start in the south and brought woe to thou sands yellow fever. Medical science has con quered that infection, and not since 1878 has it seriously menaced the lives of the people in the south. In that year there were 36,000 cases and 6,000 deaths from it in Louisiana alone. At various times Mobile, Baton Rouge and Mem phis suffered from outbreaks of it. A remarkable incident of the epidemic of 1878 was the carrying of the pestilence from New Orleans up the Mississippi, and by way of the Ohio river to Gallipolis, O., on the towboat John Porter. A reign of terror ensued at Gallipolis and in the surrounding territory. Sixteen of the boat's crew died, and 35 people in and about Gallipolis, where the boat was forced into port by a break in her machinery. It was, beyond question, the most remarkable voyage of a plague-stricken steamer ever made on American rivers, and was watched by the whole country as the boat slowly made her way 1,700 miles upstream between July 18 and August 17. Yel low fever is a hot weather disease and when frost came to southern Ohio it ended there,' never to return. Harmony and the Third Party. Discontent is an inevitable accompaniment of progress. At any given time some one is dissatisfied with conditions and fomenting a re volt against things as they are. Out of this has proceeded the wonderful advance made by man since the beginning. Therefore the little groups of political malcontents, who are as sembling in Chicago today to launch a "third party" movement present no unaccustomed spectacle, nor are they, to he considered in the nature of a phenomenon. Among all their mul tiplicity and complexity of ideas arc some .wor th), and which are being worked out through other agencies, but not fast enough to suit those who want the milleniura right now and who pro pose to attain it by political action. But even in their ointment the fly is discernible. Each has its paramount, and each demands the driver's scat on the band wagon. Whether this will conduce to harmony or result in the anticipated split only the event can answer. It is worthy of note, though, that among the incongruous and heterogenous elements there is agreement on one point.

Dentistry has been practiced for 3,470 years, with more or less success. Those who submit lo the ministrations of the tooth doctors, realiz ing how long the profession has been in exist ence, may well wonder why it still retains its painful features, in view of what anaesthetics and other painkillers, including those of the late Perry Davis, have done to alleviate the pangs of stomachache, childbirth and other nervous per formances which sometimes attack the compos ure of suffering humanity. Incidentally, it may be said that certain fame and great wealth await the dentist who invents true painless dentistry. But that's to one side of our topic. A papyrus discovered in Egypt, the one land whose ancient mysteries are being solved by modern discoveries of buried knowledge, shows that 1,550 years before Christ toothache was med ically treated. Lieutenant Commander Reed of the navy recently reviewed the dark and bloody past of dentistry in an interesting address. He tells us that in China the ancient remedy for a throbbing tooth was the insertion of 26 needles in various parts of the body. That must have been a counter attraction with a vengeance. Bridge was done in ancient Greece and gold fillings were common in Rome in Christ's tine. Artificial teeth have been found in the moutr of Egyptian mummies, fastened to live teeth by .gold rings. But they were there for the sake of looks alone, as no chewing could have been done by them. All the artificial teeth in those early centuries were made of bone or the teeth of animals, although occasional instances have turned up of one man's tooth being plugged after extraction and used to fill a vacancy in an other man's mouth. But we, do not commend the study of ancient dentistry to any of the profession now. What mankind yearns for in this year of our Lord is really paintess dentistry, and the man who establishes it, as we have said before, will win both distinction and wealth. The profession has made great advancement in efficiency during the past sixty years. Doubt less there are still in existence as horrible curiosities the "keys" with which the doctors of the 50's lifted teeth from their sockets by the use of thumb screws. We are old enough to remember a venerable man who "gummed" it in his latter years. We can still see him in our mind's eye "scraping" an apple with a case knife.

Like other great reforms, physical and in tellectual, the bathtub had to fight its way on ward and upward in spite of the dirty habits of mankind. Baths flourished in the ancient Roman civilization, but cleanliness lost out in the Dark Ages. There has ever been a natural aversion to soap and water in combination in the human family, stronger the farther north peoples have lived. The first bathtub in the United States, an exchange says, was built in Cincinnati and in stalled in a home there in 1842. It was made of mahogany, lined with sheet lead, and was proudly exhibited by its owner at a Christmas party. Next day it was denounced in the Cin cinnati papers as a luxurious, undemocratic vanity. Then came the medical men and de clared it a menace to health. In 1843 Phila delphia tried to prohibit bathing between No vember 1 and March 15 by ordinance. Virginia taxed bathtubs $30 a year. In 1845 Boston made bathing unlawful except when prescribed by a physician, and President Fillmore installed the first one ever in the White House. These things seem incredible in an age when transient hotel accommodations include a bath room, but sanitation is a recent development. A southern Ohio lawyer went to Columbus a few years ago, and 'when he registered at the hotel the clerk asked him if he wanted a room with bath. The guest thoughtfully rubbed the stubble on his chin and replied: "No; I'll be home by Saturday." The other is that of a newly-rich lady who was showing a friend of her days of poverty the very elaborate bathroom in her new home. It was a sizzling hot August night. "La, how you must enjoy that tub!" she exclaimed. 'Indeed I do," was the response. "I can hardly wait for Saturday night to cornel" We are sufficiently civilized to be for the bathtub with reservations; the diief one being an instinctive sympathy with the Frenchman who thanked God he had never insulted his skin by putting cold water on it. The Wetnesa of Cox. After Governor Cox gathered his initial con vention strength as a wet, the pressure of the drys at San Francisco, led by Bryan, terrified the Ohio governor's political managers, and the authorized statement was made that Cox was dry. That was followed by wildly heralded in formation that New York, controlled by the leader of Tammany Hall, had no further use for Mr. Cox, and a chill also came over the Chi cago and Indianapolis delegations which had been pointing to the governor as the man whose rod would smite the keg and cask from which beer and wine would thereafter flow. And the band played on. Also Mr. Bryan, too old in the game to be fooled, continued to denounce Mr. Cox as a friend of the liquor in terests. And when the final hours of the con vention came all the state delegations controlled by wet cities were found rallying around the Cox banner. The old serpent so often labeled "Rum" in temperance cartoons was squirming about in the convention, leaving its track as it always does. As James Russell Lowell wrote many years ago: It wriggled in and it wriggled out, Leaving the people still in doubt Whether the snake that made the track Was going south or coming back. But Tammany's boss was in no doubt. Nor was Tom Taggart,' nor Brennan of Chicago. They knew their man at the finish, and were with him. THE OLD SINGER.

Forty-five miles from the Aleutians, June 12 After five days of marine torpor the passenger list is divided into the Aspirins and the Epsoms. Citizens of Wausau, Walla Walla and Waukegan, having established possession of dinner coats and exhausted the supply of fresh shirts, have now returned to their Main Street pin stripes; two days of radio wrangling at the republican convention over the selection of a plank has in spired smoke room consensus that a spring Joard is what they need and all could jump overboard.

Sir: The heart seems to cut a considerable figure in politics at this time. The senate broke "the heart of the world" when it turned down Woody's League of Nations. The convention at San Francisco buried Bryan's "heart in the grave" when it nominated a wet. Mr. Cox's fatherin-alw says "the candidate has the heart of a farmer, "and Mr. Hays rejoices in "the great qualities of heart and mind of the repub lican candidates." G. B. B. "EDW. T. GLASS v.

I weigh 200 pounds and am much bothered with prickly heat. I am a profuse per splrer. What is better for it than Horsford's acid phosphate taken, as per directions on bottle, steadily all summer with a layoff of 10 days or two weeks after each bottle? How about cold baths with a cupful of baking soda in the tub?" Prickly heat is an acute, mildly inflammatory disorder of the skin and especially of the sweat glands. It affects babies, all persons with delicate skins, the obese and the hr-avy sweaters. Too free patronage of doctors who write prescriptions for booze is about the most frequent cause of prickly heat In adults. Taking acid phosphates does you no good. It probably does you no harm. Keep it up if you like that kind of occupation and entertain ment. In all probability Adam never suf fered from prickly heat prior to the apple-eating episode. If Mesopota mia was as hot then as it is now. Adam's troubles rrobably began when he took on fig leaves. If you could go naked you would have no prickly heat in spite of obesity and a great tendency to sweat. Some mothers learn to cure prickly heat in their babies by per mitting them to spend their days in the altogether. If you muet wear clothes, wear as few as possible and make those light in weight and very porous. The quicker perspiration is blotted from your skin by your clothing the less prickly heat you will have. Why wear an undershirt? Many inhabitants of the tropics wear a soft loose shirt without undershirt. Frequent bathing and frequent changing of underwear helps. Some people prefer to bathe in bran water or borax water. In very hot weather the skin requires but very little soap for purposes of cleanliness. Sutton recommends a powder consisting of: Powdered camphor, 1 part; zinc oxide, 4 parts; starch, 16 parts. j Mothers use starch as a dusting powder. They also use talcum pow der. Sutton also speaks of mild astrin gent solutions, such as vinegar and dilute watery solution of aluminum acetate. How about some witch hazel? I can see no objection to putting a cupful of baking soda in the tub of bath water, but, on the other hand, I can see no advantage of it. I dare say rain water, snow water, or softened water is easier on the skin than alkali water. When you put soda in water you make it an alkali water. Nettle Rash. . , G. B. M. writes: "Is nettle rash a skin or blood disorder Is it cura ble? If so, why will my physician not discuss it with me instead of classifying it with blackheads, liver splotches, etc.?" REPLY. Nettle rash is neither a skin nor a blood disease, in the sense you have In mind. The proper name for net tle rash is udticaria. It results from some kind of poisoning. The sub stance responsible may be some thing which is thoroughly whole some to most people. The person affected is sensitive to it at least on the occasion when it poisons him. The nerves and blood vessels of the skin are the structures principally affected. Some people class urtica ria among the neuralgias. It is curable. An acute attack is relieved by soothing local applications and the Internal use of purgatives. If the attack follows quickly after eat ing the offending food the use of an emetic helps. To prevent attacks discover the cause by skin tests. Then either avoid the cause or less en, the sensitiveness to it by vaccination. The Decorations Will Be Black.

D. writes: (1) "Are three eggs every morning with two glasses of milk a good food for sainine weight? (2) Please tell me what food is necessary to eat in. order to Bain weight." REPLY. 1. No. 2. Eat a bowl of sweetened cereal or bread and niilk at bedtime, alsn at least once during the day. Eat a good deal of biead, potatoes, pas tries, sweets anU cereals. Make your evening mel your heavy meal. Go to bed early and sleep long. Do not worry. Here's the Difference. J. E. W. writes: "What is the dif ference between ringworm and alo pecia areata? How does alopecia aieata affect a person?" REPLY. Alopecia areata is a form of local ized baldness. Ringworm of the scalp is a disease due to a sporing vegetable parasite. This little vege table gets into the skin and hair shafts, causing inflammation, blis ters and pustules. The infected hairs break off and fall out. in ringworm, hairs examined under the microscope show the parasite. Tho sick hairs are broken and bent, skin is ulcerated or blistered alopecia the skin is smooth shiny billiard ball. The In and Better Be Examined. J. F. A. writes: "I have noticed that several times within the last few months there has been blood in the phlegm which I cough up. I am 24 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weigh 160 pourfds. My general health has been good. I smoke considerably, averaging about 20 cigarets a day, and am an office wcrker. Is there any Hgniflcance in this condition?" REPLY. The presence of blood in the spu tum calls for examination for tu b'ercle bacilli and other examina tions to decide whether the subject has consumption. While bloody sputum may come from nose con ditions, tonsil conditions, heart dis ease, it is ofttimes a sign of con sumption. Work More Than You Eat. Mrs. O. D. H. writes: "Please give rules for diet and exercises for use in reducing weight." REPLY. There is but one basic rule for re ducing eat less than your system requires for the work you do. Eat no sugar or food in which sugar erters, no bread or other food made from flour. Use breads not made from ordinary flour scantily. Do not eat cereals. Avoid potatoes and beans. Fill up the stomach and thus lessen hunger by eating those fruits and vegetables that are low in starch and sugar. Eat soups and meats and a moderate amount of fat. If you exercise or work hard you may eat more than If you loaf. If you need more details get one o'f the books on reducing. Weather and Polities. For tomorrow: Fair and warmer.

To the Editor of The Bee; In a recent speech Governor Cox says: "Vast armies and navies will be neessary if the concerted plan of interna tional peace fails." "Concerted plan" here means League ot Na tions. The exact opposite of this is true. Apart from the league, the United States is freer from danger of war than ever before in its history. Not one nation of all the world could be dragged Into war with us. We have shown the world our strength. It ii that of the strongest nation in the world, and the world recognizes it. Neither do we menace any coun try. If we keep out of the league our peace is certain. The league stands for war. By Article 10 of the league covenant, it safeguards present boundaries. By it the league must send armies to Poland to drive back the victorious Russians; to Italy to drive away Albanians and possibly to India to fight off Afghans; to Egypt to repel Soudanese: to Greece to hold con quered Turkish territory. The league has planned wars enough ahead for a million soldiers. If we accept the league we will have use for "vast" armies. If not, we will not. In the same speech Governor Cox spoke of "The shifting sands of congressional caprice." This of the highest legislature in our land, con stitutionally carefully selected, rep resentatives of the people! It is an attack on democratic people's con stitutional government. It im peaches free institutions. Governor Cox would ignore congress. He knows better than congress! He is following Wilson's course. He won't do. J. S. ox Defender of Mr. Bryan. p;tna, Neb., July 9. To the Editor of The Bee: Permit me to express my opinion concerning an article on the editorial page of the World-Herald for July 7. The article Is a ma lignant harangue against the old, venerable Mr. Bryan. It breathes the spirit of a snake. To me it sounds as though the editor has got ten orders from democratic head quarters to eliminate, get rid of I'.ryan by means that make a slow death, agonizing- and terrible, for he is more alive than he ever was, and he might be a detriment to the nominated wet candidate. But, I forget that the World-Herald is a paper owned by Mr. Hitch cock, who was but is no more. Also. I recollect that Mr. Bryan beat Hitchcock in the recent elections. Who can forgive such impertinence? The people of Nebraska, foolish as they have ever been, chose Bryan in place of Hitchcock. Now that same people are going to get the tri umphant note of cheer from Hitch cock's bottle of "vitriol," to show that they made a mistake, sinc.e he was utterly (Mr. Bryan) defeated in San Francisco. It is an honorable man, who can speak thus of a de feated foe? By no means, no! But perhaps Mr. Hitchcock thinks Bryan more alive than ever. There is no particular point in the article, which shows the least rea son; all is pure cussedness, malic iousness. The most poisonous ser pent could not emit more venom than that article does. There is no show of manliness, no trace of honor; it is only the wild beast's exultant howl when a prey is fallen. And, wonderful iudged. the paper in question is a democratic paper, and Bryan also is a democrat. Why all thtH stir, then? Rivalry! There is a hidden design to nuiko an end to Mr. Bryan's political career. He is In the way of Hitchcock. Con sequently we make believe that he Is against the whole party. Mr. Bryan is too much of a democrat. That is tk;e only troublo with him. He sees the end of the democratic party, it not forever, at least for a long time. He knows the public pi lse. and he speaks with that con viction. Mr. Bryan is the conscience of the democratic party, but if the party lots its conscience go, what can you then expect? Something in the same key as the article in the World-Herald. He knew that to de feat the republicans next fall there are needed great issues in the plat form (and Io, there are none) and a great candidate, but the democrats have neither. What has occupied these "supermen" (as the Herald loves to call it) now to defeat and eliminate Bryan politically. The paper shows this clearly in the words, "Mr. Bryan . . . was politely given his hat and shown to the door. REV. FRED HALL, . Star Route, Etna, Neb.
