BUNN, HE following is a brief sum- mary of the most important news of the world for the seven days ended January 7: Conteremce: The week hag been an important one in the con- ference. The two Root resolu-. tions concerning the behavior of the submarine were redrafted, and ¥ ; cepted as part of the law of na- tions, they now accept that pro- hibition as henceforth binding as between themeelves and they in- vite all other nations to adhere thereto. v, The rignatory powers. desiring’ to insure the enforcement of the humane rules of existing law de- clared by themselves with respect to attacks upon and the seizure and destruction of merchant ships, govern conversion of merchant ships for war purposes” (on the agenda). The British tried to have a pro- vision included in the above reso- lutions forbidding the bombing of merchant vessels by ajrcraft, but fafled. A separate resolution to such effect ig In order. Is it too much to hope that the conference * will forbld the use of aircraft as commerce destroyers? But, pleasant as may be the fered «u resolution which pro- poses n general Kurqpean finan- cial and economic conference at Genoa during the first weeks of March. He supported the resolu- tion (which was adopted) by an exceedingly clever speech, in which ‘he. vaguely outlined his plan. concerning which rumor has long been busy, for the recon- struction of central and eastern Europe. In that plan the subject of German reparations is subordi- nated to larger considerations.

Then a vigorous rubdown until the body glows. A hot tub scrub once a week fcllowed by a cold spray or showe The use of hot water alone drain the vitality and weakens the body functions, thereby contributing to the cause of constipation and other dis- orders. Hot and col sprays or showers should be taken each morn- ing. Massage.—Pro] and vigorous mas- sage is highly pbe:nflldll The hands, or a good massage brush may be used. Movements should be upward on arms and legs and downward on trunk. Mas- sage and kneading of the abdominal area is very hel:gll in constipation— working upward on right side; thence across and above the navel to left, and thence downward on left side. - Enemas.—The best authoritieshold that an enema is but an expedient, and may be used occasionally-—using warm water and following always by a second enema (s a grad { ‘Without real physical activi- : | shall be a three.
