Your Health
THF. FIRST CONCERN.
i
—Dr. E. O. Houba, of Tacoma,
Wash., recently told the International
Congress for the study of microbes
that goiter is caused by bacteria
and not by a deficiency in iodine,
the generally accepted theory. He
said he had isolated and cultivated
goiter bacteria.
Dr. Houba also said he had devel-
oped a method by which germs
could be cultivated from every
goitre tissue.
—_ When your doctor tells you
some member of your family has
“nephritis” you are greatly dis-
tressed. Of course, the disease is
serious, but I beg of you not to class
nephritis with the incurable dis-
eases. On the other hand, you can.
not be careless. The greatest care
in diet and habits should be exer-
cised.
General inflamation of the kidneys
is called “Bright's disease.” It is
named from Dr. Richard Bright,
an English physician, who first de-
scribed the association of symptoms
in 1827.
High blood pressure, the presence
of albumen in the urine, and fre-
quently dropsy, may indicate the
existence of nephritis, This is not
always true, however. Many per-
sons have high blood pressure with-
out a kidney condition. Albumen in
the urine may indicate wrong diet-
ing, nervousness or some other tem-
porary disturbance.
An acute attack of Bright's dis-
ease may be brought on by expos-
ure to a cold or by taking certain
poisons. It may be a complication
of some acute disease, such as ery-
sipelas, diphtheria, and especially,
scarlet fever.
The onset of the disease is us-
ually severe in character. There is
pain in the back, paleness and puffi-
ness of the face, swelling of the
ankles, fever, sometimes nausea and
vomiting.
The urine is scanty and abnormal
in color. There are chemical
changes which can be determined
only by an analysis.
The utmost care must be exer-
cised in the treatment of a person
showing symptoms of Bright's dis-
ease.
The patient must remain in bed,
usually between blankets, to stimu-
late the action of the skin, The
diet is mild—often confined to ‘milk.
Large quantities of water and ‘alka-
line drinks are given to help flush
the kidney action to carry off the
poisons. Your doctor will prescribe
the proper medication and will over-
see the general cave.
Living at a high speed and over-
eating must be avoided if we want
to keep well. But late hours and
overindulgence in food or drink,
strenuous mental exercise and ex-
cessive fatigue are all factors in the
development of Bright's disease.
__A revolutionary medical discov-
ery was claimed when authori-
ties at St. Elizabeth's hospital an-
nounced an electrical treatment for
lobar and bronchial pneumonia, $0
overwhelmingly positive in 200 tests
that it is “virtually a specific,”
Medical authorities expressed the
opinion that the discovery ranks
with that of smallpox vaccination,
and pointed out that thousands of
lives can be saved annually by its
use.
In lobar pneumonia cases dGiscov-
ered within twelve hours after in-
fection a cure was effected in vir-
tually every case. In cases discov-
ered after twelve hours the percen-
e was slightly lower, but still
very high due to the fact that bron-
chial pneumonia comes on much
more gradually than the lobar type.
It was difficult to detect these cases
early and the percentage ran about
the same as the later diagnosed
lobar cases,
The treatment worked out by
scientists at the famous Government
hospital for the insane con-
sists in passing through the chest a
very high frequency current of about
1,500,000 alternations a second, using
as electrodes two tin foil plates, one
on the chest and the other on the
back.
The human body can take this ex-
tremely high voltage, it is explained
because the amperage is infinitesi-
mally small.
The passage of the current through
the body heats the interior or-
gans as current heats a resistance
wire, and that effects the cure.
It has heretofore been impossible
to heat the inner organs, exterior
. heat applications having no effect
on them.
The venom of toads, for cen.
turies used in Europe asa source of
poison and in China as a medicine,
contains potent principles that re-
semble drugs in therapeutic use to-
day, and may provide medicine with
new weapons against disease.
Four kinds of chemical substan-
ces were isolated in crystalline form
from Ckjjan Su, dried toad venom,
Drs. H. Jensen and K, K. Chen of
Johns Hopkins have reported to the
Federation of American Societies
for experimental biology.
Dr. Chen is a chinese biochemist
whose research on an old Chinese
drug plant gave modern medicine
the drug ephedrine, which has come
into wide use in the treatment of
hay fever and colds.

—Tt is perplexing for the traveller
to know how much to tip the wvar-
jous bell boys, porters and waitress-
es who serve him. It is rather ex-
pensive business if you do the tipping
job “according to Hoyle.” You tip
him a dime or a quarter according to
the amount of your baggage and the
distance he carries it,
Sometimes taxi drivers expect tips,
pesides the taxi fare, but that isnot
necessary. At the hotel, a door man
helps you from your car and carries
your baggage to the hotel desk—an-
other dime or fifteen cents, or a
quarter if you are extravag ant or try
to show off. A bell-boy carries
your baggage to your room which
means a similar tip. The process is
reversed when you leave the hotel.
At mealtime, you are supposed to
tip the waitress about ten per cent
of your bill, or, if you are staying
for a week and will have the same
waitress, tip her one dollar when
you leave.
A tip is expected by the bell boy
or chambermaid who does you any
personal service, such as bringing
you ice water or extra towels. On
the train the porter of the sleeper
or parlor car expects you to hand
him half a dollar as you leave. The
tipping system adds greatly to the
expense of travel and is often much
abused, as when attentions, which
you do not wish, are forced upon
you in the hope of exacting a tip.
Hotels and railways should pay em-
ployees enough that it would not be
necessary for them to bleed the
traveller for every little courtesy.
But if you really use this service,
and it isnot included in the regular
travel bill, you are a cheap-skate if
you are not willing to pay a small,
reasonable sum for it.
— Jt is a nice courtesy to take
your hostess some little gift, candy
or a book. Conform to her plans
for entertaining you. Be prompt
for your meals and in keeping ap-
pointments. When you arrive, an-
nounce the date of your departure
and hold to that date even if she
politely urges you to stay longer.
Act as though you are having a
good time and be cordial with the
friends to whom she introduces you.
Make as little work as possible and
adapt yourself to the customs of the
family. Entertain yourself a part of
the time to relieve your hostess of
a feeling of strain.
Respect the property of the house.
hold and do not set medicine or a
wet tumbler on a polished dresser,
put your feet on the counterpane
nor use towels for cleaning shoes.
If your hostess has no household
help, assist her with the housework
unless you are sure that she prefers
to do it alone. Pay scrupulously all
telephone or laundry bills you have
incurred. When you have- left, write
within twenty-four hours, thanking
your hostess for her hospitality.
—If you're planning a party for
the children—you’ll do it at least
once every year, and then solemnly
vow to go to Europe for a rest
when it’s over!—you decide first of
all what the children are going to
eat.
Having children of your own, or
having children of a near relative
to guide you, you know that the
most important thing at any party
is the quantity and quality of the
food served. By your food will your
party be judged!
If your young guests are tenderly
aged, from five to seven. I'd sug-
gest you hold the party around
four o'clock, and it most decidedly
is possible, for I do it.
Don’t have any precious break-
ables around the room; little chil-
dren can be most unkind to your
fragile and prized possessions. Sup-
ply the children with small chairs,
throw a few pillows around the
floor, and let them be comfortable,
The matter of decoration is simple;
gay animals, posters and toys will
delight them all.
The refreshment menus should be
wholesome, attractive, dainty and
healthful. Serve the food at 4:30 so
that it may take the place of sup-
per, and thus avoid spoiled appetites
and overloaded stomachs.
There must be a gift for each
child, of course. After food, the
gift is the next in importance. A
paper cap, a jingle with tiny bells
(which you'll find very easy to at.
tach to appropriate corners) is a
present which always finds favor
with the young idea.
An hour and a half is quite long
enough for any children’s party to
last. Send the little ones safely
home to their mothers at a reason-
able hour, so that they may be put
to bed early and happily; and then,
with the consciousness of a good
deed well done, you can read the de-
scriptions of the European tours
at your leisure.
WHITE PHEASANTS.
Reports of albino
pheasants being prevalent in the
southeastern counties of the State
are being investigated by officers of
the Game Commission.
Such a condition, officials said, is
gimiliar to that which developed
among the deer herds of the State
as a result of too much inbreeding.
The possibility of allowing hunters
to kill hen ring-necks as well as the
males is being considered.

FIREWORKS TO BE
BASIS OF NEXT CONFLICT.
The next war will be just a lot
of fireworks.
That's what military engineers
are finding here.
The armaments of the past wars
have become obsolete. The mnew
weapons will be skyrockets.
In their experiment here, these
engineers have evolved a new meth-
od of fighting. This consists of
highly explosive rockets which can
be pointed and touched off carrying
death and destruction as far and as
accurately as a cannon, but without
the use of that cumbersome piece of
artillery.
These rockets will be loaded with
different forms of devastation, such
as gases, shrapnel, liquid fire, and
when needed, smoke, to form a
smoke screen.
Those at work perfecting (these
rockets are developing a mechanism
whereby very accurate aim can be
taken, the missile landing in a stated
area one mile away.
One advantage to be gained from
ithe use of these rockets in the place
of the traditional cannon wil be the
elimination of the artillery so that
the advancing infantrymen, firing
their own barrage, would never run
the danger of walking into the fall-
ing shells.
The exact mechanism of these
rockets is a matter of the greatest
secrecy, although it is said to be of
comparative simplicity.
; Origin of Handclasp
“How do you do?” you say when
gou meet a friend, and instinctively
you shake hands with him or her. But
why do you do it? Shaking hands is
such a common form of greeting that
we rarely take the trouble to consid-
er why it is so. In the warlike times
of centuries ago, when it was the cus-
tom to be armed, men took the sim-
ple precaution of grasping each oth-
er's right hand when they met, so that
if one of them should prove hostile he
could not seize his sword or dagger.
From the ancient habit of grasping
the weapon hand grew up our mod-
ern custom by offering our right hands
to be clasped by friends or acquant-
ances.
Real Cause of Breakdown
A Swedish psychologist says that
aM nervous breakdowns, all the neu-
roses, in fact, are caused by laziness.
Men work hard at their businesses,
undergo much strain and anxiety, and
finally break down. “Overwork” is
the verdict af the neighbors, and of
the old-fashioned doctor. But this
psychologist denies that. He says
that if a man thoroughly enjoys his
work, he never has a nervous break-
down. It's working when you want
to be doing something else that makes
the mischief. There is a conflict of
desires there, and a sustained con-
flict inevitably results in a neurosis,
