REPLY. They are lymph glands. When they are large enough to be felt they are many times as large as they should be. They get large usually because of the germs which hare gotten in through the throat, the ear. or breaks In the skin.

The most frequent germ Is the coneumption germ. Whether or not they need to be taken out depends on whether they contain pus. WATER WASTE. Don't waste water. It is easy to be careless about it thing that costs little or nothing.

But that carelessness is costly to many people you would not willingly harm. In some districts of the city the suffering for lack of water in hot weather is real. Think that what you waste some child, some weary mother, or tired man home from a hard daya work may need. Commissioner AleGann has done well to ask for strict enforcement of the regulations for water use. Lawns should not be sprinkled after 7 in the morning or before 7:30 in the evening.

Some day we shall have enough to go around. But until we do, turn off the tap and turn on the golden rule. BETTER TIIAN SWATTING. A. A.

BOUND BY BILL or SALE. Chicago, June 16.To the Friend of the years ago I went away for my health. I asked an attorney to draw up a paper leaving my share in an estate to my wife after my death. According to my father's will my wife would only get a widow's share. The attorney told me he did not have time then, and he drew a blank paper out of a drawer of his desk and told me to sign it at the bottom, which I did.

lie said he would fill it out and send it to my wife. On my return my -wife showed me the paper the attorney had drawn up. It was a bill of sale saying that I had sold my share of the property for $1. I went to see the attorney the nest day and wanted him to change it. He wanted $10 to change it, which I did not have.

I let it go for about four years. I then asked my wife to go to the attorney with me and have the share of the property put back in my name. She would not do it. I left her. and two days after I wanted to go back home; she would not let me.

I am an invalid in the Oak Forest infirmary. 1. Is that bill of sale legal? 2. Can my wife sell that share of the property without my signature? M. F.

S. 1. You are bound by the bill of sale and it is too late now to have it set aside. 2. Ten.

Chicago, June the Friend of the like to know why Waveland avenue between Evanston avenue and Pine Grove is not improved. Holes filled with water nearly all the time end some with green slime ready for a fine lot of mosquitoes. Other streets parallel with Waveland, like Addison. Grace, and Gary, have been grcled and improved. I wonder why this particular block is neglected.

S. This Is a matter to be settled by the property owners. If they wish the street improved they should petition the board of local improvements. THIRTY DAYS' NOTICE REQUIRED. Chicago, June the Friend of the People.I am tenant of a small store, monthly rent, and have no lease, only the landlord's verbal permission of occupancy as long as I wish.

If he was offered more rent for the store, or desired to put me out for any reason, how soon could he do so, and what would be my rights in the matter. tired also as to any successor of mine if I sold out the store? X. Y. Z. The landlord must give you thirty dills notice in writing to put you out.

The same applies to your successor. TRIBUNE LAW DEPARTMENT. CHARACTER MURDER. In fourteen minutesor just time enough to retire from the courtroom to the jury room to take one ballot, and to return to the jury boxthe jury in the case of the man Henning against Clarence S. Funk gave a verdict of not guilty.

This judgment merely confirmed the suspicion held by the public since the news of the suit was first made public in the columns of William Lorimer's organ, the Inter Ocean. That suspicion grew into something like belief as the peculiar circumstances surrounding the suit transpired, and as the tardy trial proceeded and the case presented against Mr. Funk was shivered by the defense no jury's verdict was needed to emphasize the vicious nature of this assault upon the good name of a respected citizen. But now that the jury has spoken, this Incident is not closed. On the contrary, it should be just opening.

It is the imperative duty of the defendant as a citizen and as a man to proceed against all the parties to this infamous proceeding to the uttermost extent of his rights under the la w. It is the duty of his counsel, members of the bar of high standing, to present all the evidence in their possession to the authorities and to take the most vigorous action in every respect to bring every guilty person to justice. It is Ow duty of the authorities to proceed at once to ascertain the full extent of the affair and to prosecute vigorously every guilty participant. 1 The nature of the case against Mr. Funk was disclosed fully at the trial.

Its victim has been declared innocent. This means that perjury and subornation of perjury and conspiracy and blackmail have lurked behind this unclean fabric of pretended outraged virtue. The implications of the case ramify deep into this community and they should be followed to their ugly ends. Every man of honorable life, every honest wife, every father and every mother concerned for the credit of their geod names and the honor of their children, every lawyer and every citizen who is concerned for the administration of justice, every man or woman of decent life in this community should demand that this case and all that it means shall be known and every guilty partaker in it punished to the limit of our laws. The attempt to slay a man's good' name is the cruelest form of murder.

REPLY. A marble floor does not affect the kidneys and I doubt if it causes much rheumatism. So many different things are called rheumatism that It is hard to say. It does abstract heat from the feet, and in the winter time most of us have trouble in keeping enough heat in our feet. At all seasons It is advisable to have the heat of the body as evenly distributed as possible.

A marble floor is without epring, and that increases the tire of walking. Nature provides an arch to the foot because some give is advisable. The features can be remedied by cox ering the floor with a springy. heat-nonconducting. easily cleaned mat.

If such covering is not furnIshed. those who stand on such floors should wear socks and shoes that furnish Insulation and Pprin gwoolen socks. cork Insoles. special soles, rubber heels and soles, and high arches. THE COFFEE OR TEA HABIT.

AVICTIM of habit is willing enough to admit that there are habit victims, but unwilling to Edmit that he is one of them. This is fortunate. Just this mental attitude saves many. It is like trying to stay in bed with a cockleburr. This constant self-asking Is mine a drug habit? This constant assertionI can quitmade to convince one's self and not others.

This mental unrest sometimes makes a man grit his teeth and pull out of the mire. All in all, it does no harm for the woman who always carries a headache tablet in her pocketbook or for the man who takes his morning brandy to say that she or he has no habit. The most difficult of all places to draw the habit line is among tea and coffee drinkers. The use of these drugs has muea to commend it. When a man's mental energies are at sixes and sevens," when the different faculties of his brain are not doing good team work, a cup of coffee or tea may harmonize things.

--s-- Recently there has been some research work decidedly favorable to tea. The writer says a man does better work with it than without. Such benefit is not because of any food value, because neither tea nor coffee has enough food or fuel value to take into account. It is because of better team work. Another advantage of tea is that it is a pleasant way to drink sterile water.

No wise man drinks water from unknown sources. Our country is getting too thickly populated for that. Boiled water, malevored, is not generally liked. Boiled water, slightly flavored with tea. is the one drink that tastes well, hot, cold, or in between.

The test is the in between. Tea and coffee may serve a purpose, and I think right there is the place to draw the line. For what purpose do you drink it? Do you drink it to make you feel warm? The hot drink throws the blood to the surface and warms the skin, but a warm skin loses heat rapidly and presently the loss more than offsets the gain. If you are of this groupquit it. Do you drink it at supper to hold you together for work after supper? If a habit, it does harm and not good.

The wise course is to train one's self to brain team work and to leave enough in one's energy bank to draw on for the evening's work. Do not drink it at night. There is no excuse for the noon or midafternoon cup except it be as an excuse for a break in the day's On that basis, it is the height of wisdom from the efficiency standpoint, but let the draft be very weakscarcely more than flavored water. For the morning cup there is much excuse. The body has been storing up energy all night.

In the morning it has some tendency to leakto waste. The first work of the morning is to hitch up the team. A cold bath, water or air can do it. Some open air work can do it. A cup of coffee or tea can do it.

A well trained man can do it without any help. But there are people who have headaches or grumps or are generally no account if they do not get their coffee. For them it must be strong. They are fiends. They are in the same boat as opium, cocaine, or whisky fiends.

A good rule Is to quit anything that has become to you a crutch or that. you can figure out, usually becomes a crutch. EXPLAINING THE MATTER. Mr. Nicholas Murray Butler favors a nation thirsty for facts with a drink from this cup: It is not as well known in the north as it might to be that the Texas convention consists of from more than 250 counties, in about 100 of which there is no discernible Republican organization.

From and on behalf of these 100 counties, more or less, Mr. Lyon himself receives and votes proxies. That ltis system of selecting delegates was a farce and a fraud on the party and the public was to me perfectly apparent." NVIlat is not apparent to Mr. Butler, evidently, is that his description of the Texas state convention which he attacks fits almost to a dot the national convention which he defends. 4015 North Forty-seco ed cannot be elected head' assistant so person holding a certificate is bead assistant or high school teacher.

TRIBUNE LAW DEPARTMENT. GLYCERIN. Iteader writes: In THE TRIBUNE of today H. J. C.

asked you: What is glycerin made and you replied I think usually from alcohol. Of course you do not so think, but as the error IF so important think you should correct it in your next article. You can truly say in addition to your earing 'it dries that it Is hygrosophic an by that power will not only abstract all fluid from the skin. but will actually dissolve the cuticle and inflame the true skin underneath it. In factories where glycerin is made the hands of the workers in it are substantially eaten up by it.

It is true that this is partially owing to a part of the alkali being left in it. but even pure, it is very drying and destructive to the skin and never should be used on it." -0-- RECEIPT FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENT, Chicago, June the Friend of the People.In 1911 I paid $35.80 special assessment tax on my lot on West Sixty-fifth street. In 1912 they said I had not paid it. I showed them my receipt, and against my will the clerk changed the receipt over to another persons lot. It plainly shows the original receipt.

noes my original receiN still hold good on my own lot? REPLY. Glycerin is an alcoholnot made from alcohol. but no statement as to what It Is made from has any place In this column. some dry, oil-poor skins need fats. especially In dry.

cold, or windy weather. These do best with some fresh fat mixture-- for instance. a good grade of cold cream. some do best with a mucilage mixturefor instance, a solution of tragacanth. In such a mixture there can be a little glycerin.

say. one-half ounce to a pint of water, with advantage. In such a weak solution the glycerin has all the water it wants, and it will get of the skin as soon as the water does. S. E.

hands would have healed better bad he replaced some of that 2 5 per cent glYcerin With gum tragacanth or. probably better still, ith an ointment, though the type of his skin would have decided the last point.

I wish to thank you most heartily for your generous favor. Respectfully yours, HURT IN THE It is easy to imagine the indignation of Mr. Thomas Fortune Ryan. Mr.

Ryan would have his enemies understandhis friends already dothat it is not necessary for him to sit in a convention to run it. When Mr. Ryan finds it impossible to direct affairs without taking off his coat and bossing the job by being on the scene of it, he'll look around for some competent person to take his place. Then It will be evident that be no longer is the Thomas Fortune Ryan that he was and has to be. No (Mr.

Ryan is indignant), his desire to sit in the Baltimore convention ws a pretty little bit of sentiment In which be indulged himself. Mr. Ryan does not get all his pleasure from shaking money bags to hear the chink. He has his softer moments given to gentle, tender thoughts. He wanted (lea pathetic, considering what happened) to sit like any plain, coatless, collarless, gallus harnessed, fan waving Jeffersonian and be a plain Democrat.

Upon the fresh daisy of that innocent ambition down comes the heavy foot of W. J. the destroyer; of William Jennings Bryan, a Goth among the sentimental, a Vandal among the gentles.

Mr. Ryan would have them understand, ding their convention, that he's capable of running them without sitting with them. It wasnt necessary to remind him that he 'Wag acting under the impulse of an unworthy, imprneticable, blushing sentiment. Mr. Ryan feels as embarrassed as if he had been caught buying valentines.

WITH PROPER DELIBERATION. The Camorrist trial continues to rebuke the impulsiveness and rapid action of the American courts. Sig. Licy, counsel for some of the prisoners, has retired from the case, refusing to be muzzled." This rushing Niagara of words had flowed on for three weeks in making closing arguments. It then was suggested that he approach his conclusions.

He resented this endeavor to set the gates against the flood and withdrew. He was prevailed upon to resume his arguments. The pre- sumption of the agreement under the terms of which Jae returned was that he would talk a week longer and then desist. He spoke for ten days, and the request that be come to grips with his conclusions was renewed. This second indignity was too much.

He again withdrew from the case. Nothing could induce him to return. He would not be muzzled. He wrote a letter to the court making his intent and his indignation plain. A court which restricted counsel to something less than five weeks for argument was obviously prejudiced and no home of justice.

Hopkins, come to designate the most important and joyous joint achievement of their industrious and conspicuous lives, it will be found that they give most importance to and find most joy in the fact that they kept Carter Harrison out of every national convention he wanted to be in and we wanted him out of." This is their contribution to the triumphant onward march of Democracy. 1 I DESPITE Mr. Bryan's repeated asseverations that he was not a candidate he lacked only 727 votes of being nominated on the first ballot.

As for Madatne Carnot, her open handedness was of the most generous and kindly character. When reproached by their relatives and friends for dipping so heavily into their personal resources, they replied that It was not for the president of the republic to couper les sous en quatre "cut the pence in.

four. President and Madame Loubet while far more prudent, were by no means parsimonious in their Marshal MacMahor was perhaps the amost liberal of ail. When he retired from office he had. sacrificed half his fortune to the upkeep of his position, and his mansion in the Rue Bellecbasse was heavily in order to enable him to entertain Shah Nasr-ed-Din of Persia in what he and his wife, the duchess of Magenta, thought a fitting manner. The republic was not of their opinion, that's all, the legislature having- voted no money for the purpose.

and the gallant old soldier being too proud to ask. It is just to add that after the marshal's retirement from office, Gambetta. though his political adversary, took advantage of his position as chairman of the budget committee to force the chamber to vote a sum sufficient to cover this particular official outlay, and free the ex-president from debt. It was, however, with the utmost difficulty that MacMahon could be induced to accept this compensation from the state. The only two presidents who resembled Failleres in financial economy were Thiers and Greys Grery was so niggardly that he was able to save enough from his official emoluments to purchase or build an apartment house in Paris each year of his incumbency.

while Madame Thiers was wont to sisit her trades people and arrange for taking back of empty bottles and jars from the Elysee kitchens. On one occasion, when the Russian ambassador had been invited to lunch, asthe president at dessert was about to take a particularly fine pear from the pyramid of fruit on the table. she stopped him, exclaiming in a loud whisper: Not the biggest one, Adolphe. You know we are keeping that for the dinner this evening." Obedient to his rather imperious better half, Thiers took a smaller pear and halted it with the representative of the czar. -40- Now that the records of the English probate court have arrived in this country, it is to be seen that the cabled reports to the effect that the late marquis of Hertford had bequeathed his most precious belongings to his eldest son, the earl of Yarmouth, were, to say the least, misleading.
