I never feel sorrier for the soldiers than when I get up In the morning In a cold room. But somehow I never connected my sym pathetic shivering with it thrift stamp. Can you see how I felt? There I was, hopelessly healthy looking and well fed, letting my pennies slide and rllp leisurely through my hand, when I might have closed my list on them and loaned them to tho Government to pay part of the war expenses. What was I thinking of not to know that every ono must save everything he or she can If wo are to win this war! Was I doing enough with my Lib erty Rends? No! There Is no getting away from It. I havu had spare change and I have wasted It. I have nothing to show for It. I have wasted It when I might havo loaned It to the country and got It back safe and sound with I Interest n few years from now. While tho two dimes and u nickel were In my hand I could havo given them to the postman and asked him for another stamp. I could have rushed Into a department, storo and bought ono. Now I will, because I have yot tho habit. When I say I never owned a thrift stamp please do not think I did not thfnk tho Idea a good one. In fact, 1 always Intended to buy somo some day.

KELLOGG, M. D., LL. D. THU causes of enlargement oi mo rplcen aro not entirely clear. We know that enlargement of tho organ la commonly the cause of nutolntoxlcatlon, and that the same agencies tnat prouuee enlargement of the llvr will als-o pro duce enlargement of the jpleeu. further more, the agencies which cause cirrhosis of the liver will cause clrrnosis oi tne spleen. A physician. Indeed, Hi examin ing the liver to nnu wncincr u is -larped nr t'lrrhosls also examines tho spleen- because the two organs are close ly related in tlieir lunctions tne ob struction of poisons, especially those poisons produced In the colon nnd ab sorbed Into the blood and carried Into the system. It is significant that a person who Is suffering from pernicious anemia has In tnnst rnwes n ciilnrced snleeu. as also a vcrson suffering from chronic malarial Infection. It Is the poisons represented In the body In both of these dleases that produce tha enlargement of the spleen. Doctor Sllvcstrl alro has; foimd that tho spleen plays an Important part In defending the body against typhoid feer. Of H7 cases of tb" fever, 130 were found to have enlarged spleen. In the treatment of the dlsoider at trition should first be given to remov ing tho causie. Correct at once tho diet. This must be antitoxic that Is, It must consist of those foods which do not tend to produce poisons In the Intestinal canal. Meat of all kinds, Including fish mu.t be discontinued, llkewlso hot sauces, pepper and Irritating condiments of all kinds. Tho diet should consist of an abundance of fruits and vegeta bles. Tho legumes beans, pea, lentils should bo used very sparingly, on ac count of the large proportion of protein they contain. For it should bo rcmem- bered that tho protein clement of ourlmantown. Carolina H. Klinr, "The Uennomj, food undergoes putrefaction In tne colon with the utmost readiness and gives rise to u number of vicious poisons that serve only to aggravate the condition of tho spleen. For the same reason nuts should bo used very sparingly. Tea, coffee, alcoholic liquors of all kinds, as also tobacco, must absolutely be dls. carded on account of the noxious toxins which they contain, Water may be drunk freely, since It assists In tho elim ination of poisons from the spleen. Also applications over the. spleen of heat and cold nro very helpful. A hot douche over tho spleen followed by a cold douche for ten seconds has tremen dous power in causing tho spleen to contract and thus relieve tho conges tion and consequent enlargement. The X-ray hhs also been found help ful on account of Its Influence upon gland. It Is well known that the X-ray when applied to tha bkln will destroy sweat glands. It l often applied to the bottom of tho feet In the case of offeiiblve perspiration. Applied to nn enlarged thyroid gland, the X-ray cause tha gland to tshrlvel up. Alto applied to an enlarged liver, the X-ray has the effect of reducing the liver, an effect which It also has upon the spleen. Turkish baths, vapor baths and wet sheet packs aro also helpful In the treat ment of enlarged upleen, Kxcrclse Is ot the utmost value as a means of eliminating poisons, both by way of hwcU glands and by way of the exhaled breath. Hunnlng or rapid walk ing in tha open air Is good If this Is not convenient, however, the ssme re. suits may be obtained by exerclte taken Indoors with doors nnd windows widely opened e as to get free ventilation. It Is not even necessary to run ubout the room. One may "run In place," executing the movements of running by throwing tho weight first upon one foot und then upon the other, lifting backward tho foot which Is not in use. Various other exerclaes of the legs may be employed, but active movements of the legs are, on the whole, of the greatest service.
