Show THE BULLETIN Warts on Foot May Be Cured By Treatments Twenty Years Ago in This Palace in France Dy DR. JAMES W. BARTON HAVE spoken before of those painful flat growths on the sole of the foot called I plantar warts. ceive the whole weight of the body in walk- ing, relief is As they re TODAY'S HEALTH often obtained COLUMN by special wide shoes or special cushions with a hole in the center which surrounds the wart and thus takes the pressure off it. Just what causes these warts is unknown, although it is believed that many cases are due to infection. Some of these warts disappear apparently without treatment and other seem to resist all forma of treatment except surgery. the Fortunately use of wide shoes, a felt or cork cushion with central hole, and the use of some of the ordinary corn cures containing salicylic acid, give excellent results in most cases. As there are some cases that are difficult to cure, it is Dr. Barton gratifying to know These Statesmen, Known as the 6Big Four,9 now that used in so many skin ailments is curing a number of these stubborn cases. Drs. W. C. Popp and J. W. Olds, Rochester, Minn., in radiology record their Investigation of the effect of y treatment of 91 cases of plantar warts. These patients came from a distance and the study was made with the thought in mind of finding out just how many could be cured with but one treatment Treatment Successful. In 54 cases there was but one wart and in 37 cases there were two or more. Fifty-eigpatients obtained complete cure, whereas 18 received no benefit In 40 of the 58 cured cases the wart or warts disappeared after one treatment; 11 required two treatments, five required three treatments and two were cured only after five treatments. The fact that 18 received no benefit from y treatment did not mean that they could not be cured or relieved, as a follow-u- p of these 18 patients showed that treatment elsewhere had resulted in six being cured, six relieved of pain, and three got partial relief from pain. From the above results, Drs. Popp and Olds are justified in stating that "early observations show that their technic method and dosage of y treatment may offer better curative results than other techX-ra- Signed the Treaty That Ended World-Wa- r By ELMO SCOTT WATSON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) JUNE 28, 1919, the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of near Paris, France, for the third time in its was the scene of an event of world-wid- e significance. On that date was signed the treaty of peace which ended officially the World war. In this same hall on January 13, 1871, the King of Prussia, head of a conquering army, had been proclaimed Emperor of Germany and there ont inaliFebruary 26 of the same year this independencewithshall beconsent the the preliminary treaty of enable, except of the council of the League of peace concluding the Franco-Prussia- n Nations."

One of the humorous remarks ol 43 years "Germany . . . recognizes the former days was to tell the thin indi- was to flame forth X-ra- ON X-ra- vidual with the large appetite that he was kept thin by carrying so much food around. As a matter of fact there Is some truth in this remark because a thin individual with a large appetite Is going to carry around with him a lot of waste from this excess food. Dr. Walter Alvarez of the Mayo clinic tells us that it is the weight of these wastes that makes us tired as much as the absorption of some of this waste into the blood. Most of us are apt to think that we get tired because we work too hard physically and mentally. Getting tired by physical work is a good health asset as it means refreshing sleep. Getting tired from mental work may be due to tiredness of the eye muscles, or some tiredness from nervous tension, but this requires but a short rest; minutes not hours as with tiredness due to physical work. That there are other causes for tiredness besides mental or physical overwork is stated by Dr. F. L. Meredith, Tufts' college, as recorded by Science News Letter. Lack ef Gland Balance. "Poisons from organisms teeth and tonsils; thin blood; not enough or the wrong kind of food (including lack of minerals and vitamins); sluggish circulation; and psychic or mental states such as worry or lack of interest in one's work." Another cause is lack of balance of the glands. Thus the thyroid gland, by making too much Juice, can speed up all the body processes, keep the individual tensed (on his toes) all the time and cause tiredness to come on sooner. On the other hand, an insufficient amount of thyroid juice slows up all the body processes and the individual feels tired, lazy and sleepy most of the time. So do not necessarily blame your feeling of tiredness on overwork. The first thought should be to have the teeth and tonsils examined. If overweight have metabolism test to see if thyroid gland is over or under active. Have blood examined to see that it contains enough iron. See that enough sleep is obtained. Finally, make sure that the wastes in the bowel rre carried way regularly. Copyrl(M.-W- NU Service later. independence of the Czecho-Slova- k state . . . Germany hereby recognizes the frontiers of this state as determined by the principal allied and associated powers and the other interested states." Has Eduard Benes, former president of now a lecturer in the United States, learned enough of our American idiom to say "Oh, yeah?" if shown that passage in the treaty. No Fortifications? "Germany is forbidden to maintain and construct any fortifications either on the left bank of the Rhine or on the right bank of the Rhine west of a line drawn 50 kilometers east of the Rhine In the area defined above, the maintenance and the assembly of armed forces, and military maneuvers of any kind as well as the upkeep of all permanent works for mobilization, are in the same way forbidden." Would Adolf Hitler's lips curl in an ironical smile if you should point out those paragraphs to him? The military, naval and aerial provisions of the treaty stated that the German army was to be limited to 100,000 men (Hitler is said to have had 100,000 men under arms during the Czech crisis and he occupied the Sudeten-lan- d with 250,000). "Universal compulsory military service shall be abolished in Germany" said the treaty. (Each year 500,000 young Germans are being put into uniform, according to reliable reports.) German naval forces were limited to six 10,000-to- n battleships, six light cruisers, 12 destroyers and 12 torpedo boats and the construction or acquisition of submarines were forbidden. Ask the German workmen who have been building 35,000 and 26,000-to- n ships and a whole fleet of about that provision! "The armed forces of Germany must not include any military or naval air forces." Col. Charles Lindbergh could furnish some interesting testimony as to the observance of that clause in the treaty. Vo trntinnft commanding complete The authors of the Treaty of Versailles, signed 20 years ago this month, were known as the "Big Four" Georges Clemen-cea- u of France, David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Wood-roWilson of the United States and Vittorio Orlando of Italy. They had stated their desire, to bring about a "firm, just and durable peace." In the light of what has happened since then, it now seems extremely doubtful if they applied the right adjectives to the word "peace" especially the w last one! For 20 years later finds that peace anything but "firm" and "durable" and that, according to the present head of the nation which had no other choice but to accept it, is because it was much less than a "just" peace. Now on the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles it is not inappropriate to examine some of its provisions and see what their present status is. The League of Nations. The first of those provisions was the Covenant of the League of Nations. The principal exponent of that covenant, which was supposed to be a guarantee against future wars, was Wood-roWilson, President of the United States. Yet his country almost immediately refused to join it and the passing of two decades has seen Japan and Italy, two of its founders, leave it and Germany, a later joiner, resign from it. The two principal weapons of the league which were to enforce its decrees economic and military sanctions have proved to be impotent and today the League of Nations exists more in name than in fact. The second and third provisions of the treaty dealt with the boundaries of Germany and reassignment of European territories. True, France still has but the Saar Basin is back under the sovereignty of Germany, as is the Memel district of East Prussia. "Germany acknowledges and will respect strictly the independence of Austria s aerrr. that w Alsace-Lorrai- ne Czecho-Slovaki- a, ... '-- the routes between the North sea and the Baltic were to be main tained. The fortifications and na val harbors of the islands of Heligoland and Dune were to be destroyed, and no new fortiflca tions were to be constructed within 50 kilometers of the German coast. Ask the captain of any ship which steams past Heligoland whether or not any fortifica tions are noticeable I With Herr Hitler repeatedly re ferring to the return of Germa ny's lost colonies, it is interesting to 'read in the Treaty of Versailles this sentence: "Germany renounces in favor of the princi pal allied and associated powers all her rights and titles of her oversea possessions."

How come, then, that they aren't listed among the 'mandatory pow ers'?" The answer is, of course. that Uncle Sam didn't want any of the former German posses sions. Italy did, and by the Lon don treaty of 1915 had been promised "equitable" compensation in the event that France and Great Britain increased their colonial territories in Africa at the ex pense of Germany. In 1919 she wanted those two nations to make good on their promise. But it wasn't until 1925 that Italy ob tained Jubaland from Great Brit ain and some unimportant "rectification" of frontier lines through uninhabited wastes from France And that's one reason for the eel axis" of ebrated "Rome-Berli- n today. Of course, there are a number of other items in the Treaty of Versailles which aren t worth the paper tney re written on "scraps of paper" so to speak, Altogether they add up to a trea ty that in two decades has fallen far short of bringing about the "firm, just and durable peace" which the "Big Four" believed they had achieved when on June 28, 1919, they summoned into the Hall of Mirrors German repre sentatives, and said to them in effect, "Here is the dotted line on which you are to sign." Forty-thre- e years after a peace was signed at Versailles in 1871, France and Germany were again at war. Will history repeat itself and find them again at war in 196143 years after the Ver sailles treaty of 1919? Or will it come much sooner than that? In so far as this article has list ed so many provisions of the Treaty of Versailles which Germany has not honored, it seems, rather superfluous to mention another, since it has to do with of all things! a skulL Article Z of the treaty says: "Germany will hand over to His Britannic Majesty's government the skull of the Sultan M'kwawa which was removed from the protectorate of German East Africa and taken to Germany." And thereby hangs this tale: When the Germans began their penetrations of East Africa in the last decades of the Nineteenth century, they met strong opposi tion from certain Bantu tribes, who were Wahabi Moslems. Among the peoples of Africa the Bantus are regarded as the bravest and most advanced, and in the Mohammedan religion the Wahabis are the fanatical Puritan type and best fighters. A Magic Charm. Beginning in 1870 the sultans of the Bantus, leaders of this fierce Wahabi sect, fought the German occupation of their lands around Lake Tanganyika for nearly 30 years. The last and greatest of these was Sultan M'kwawa who added a mystical note to the native shrewdness and courage of his predecessors. The word spread among his people that he had a magic charm which would prevent his ever being captured by his enemies. So the young Bantus flocked to his standard, resolved to fight to the death against the oppressions of the Germans. German soldiers found it dangerous to wander far from their posts lest they be wiped out in a Bantu ambush. Eventually, however, the German Mausers wore down the resistance of the poorly armed Bantus. In the late nineties the sultanate, which had held its own since 1870, found itself on its last legs. M'kwawa, who had convinced himself and his followers that Allah would never let him be taken, found himself cornered. What he told his followers is unknown. He had guaranteed he could not be captured; he could make certain he would never be taken alive. So he committed suicide, believing it Allah's will. But he was not quick enough. The advance guard of Captain Von Prinz's Germans, headed by Sergeant Merkal, came upon the body before it could be spirited away. Sergeant Merkal had little thought of charms, of magic, of the will of Allah. He was a f-fact modern European. But the head had a definite value for him, for the government offered 6,000 rupees for the man who would take M'kwawa, dead or alive. He severed the head from the body, and preserved it hi alcohol, as evidence that he was entitled to the reward. Feeling that the country was now pacified, Captain Von Prinz ordered his men to return to the nearest blockhouse for a rest The sultan's head was locked in the cellar of the fort. One night, when the garrison was sleeping, a handful of men slipped into the blockhouse, and groped their way into the cellar. They took the head preserved in its alcohol and made their way out without disturbing anyone. Head Is Stolen. In the morning' it was found that M'kwawa's head and the alcohol were gone. In its place was a freshly severed Bantu head. Perhaps it had belonged to an informer who had betrayed the sultan's whereabouts to the Germans. Since then both heads have bedeviled the Germans, one by its absence, the other by its presence. The head of the sultan, buried somewhere in the territory, could be resurrected at any time as a signal for Bantu re volt. The presence of the other head gave color to the idea that the Germans were lying when they claimed to have lost the sultan's skull. After the World war, when Ger man East Africa became Tanganyika territory, a British mandate, the English wished possession of the sultan's skull. Perhaps they thought it would add to the native respect of their new rule. Perhaps they wished to present it to the natives as evidence of British kindliness as contrasted with German cruelty. Anyhow, they had Article 246 written into the Treaty of Ver sailles. But it turned out that the sul tan's skull was probably one of those reparations which Germa ny lacked the capacity to pay. Evidence was taken among the soldiers who had been present in the blockhouse, and from the wid ow of Captain Von Prinz. All agreed that the head had been lost, was still buried in some se cret place in Africa, ready to be produced again when the time for revolt was ripe. In 1920 the British appeared to be satisfied with the explanation. Yet in several cases the sultan's skull bobbed up unexpectedly to disturb the British parliament when some member of that body asked why Article 246 of the Treaty of Versailles had never been complied with. It is doubt ful, though, if H is likely to come up again. There are too many others vastly more important to worry about now I matter-o- Deepest Spot in Oreta The deepest place yet found in the ocean is off the island of Min danao, in the phihpptnes, where soundings of 85,400 feet have been reported.
