ALWAYS CUT IT OUT.
European Surgeon Urges Operation
in Each Appendicitis Case.

DR.. Maragliano, the famous Euro
pean surgeon pleads strongly for oper-
alton in every case of appendicitis, no
matter what stage the disease is in.
He argues that when one considers
the large variety in type in cases of
appendicitis the possibility that even
mild case may suddenly change
within few hours or less and be.
come alarming, he considers opera.
ton the only logical treatment.
Those cases which would have got
better if left alone are, he urges, none
the worse for operation, and some of
the cases which are lost from too late
operation might be saved
He, of course, recognizes the fact
that large number of cases of an.
pendicitis get perfectly well under or
binary medical treatment, and that
some of these may be successfully Oh.
Grated upon in the quiescent stage
that Is, after the acute symptoms are
passed. But, on the other hand. If
one waits until the acute symptoms
have subsidized there is no doubt he
says, some cases will never survive.
and the chance OF operation has gone
by forever.

The Importance Of Proper Breathing

ton Is most frequently seen in seden-
tary men and infants. The opposite
style of breathing, known as costal
breathing, is seen in women who ha.
bitually wear waist-constricting gar
ments. The principal movement is
at the top OF the chest.
Neither costal nor abdominal res
piration is capable of bringing the
lungs fully into action. Only such por-
tions Of the lungs act as lie In con-
tact with a portion of the chest wall
which moves during the respiratory
effort. and in those parts which lie in
contact with portions of the chest
wall which remain idle the air stag
mates. Carbonic acid gas and other
poisonous matters accumulate. The
living cells are thereby poisoned and
paralyzed Pneumonia germs and
other disease-producing microbes and
especially the germs of tuberculosis

Gain In Asiatic Exports.

During the ten months ending with
April the exports of domestic produce
from the United States to Asia were
$99,622,763. For the same period a
year ago they were $49,97O,731. The
increase is nearly $50,000O00 or 100
per cent. American exports to Asia
during these ten months were greater
than to South America, Oceanica and
Africa combined
The 100 per cent increase in ex-
ports to Asia is all the more signif.
cant in view of the fact that our ex.
port total TO all countries was some.
what less. and to Europe notably re.
duced. There was a shrinkage of
nearly 5000, 900 in American exports
TO Europe, and of about $6,000,0OO to
Africa; while exports to Oceanica
We're about the same as during the

continued
Then the officer was told that while,
of course, IT was impossible to take
seriously the question, What money
are you willing to take to hold the
Office" nevertheless there was price
which he would have to pay and that
price was this: He must give up
ostent -tious living, he must be es
pecially careful to observe local ordin.
ances. not driving recklessly with his
automobile, he must be careful to keep
all the appearances of propriety. he
must do all things that sober-minded,
self-respecting citizen should do, and
II his disposition led him to genteel
dissipation, riotous living or to osten-
tation then the giving up OF those
things was the price he would have to
pay II he desired to keep his Office.
And the reason why that price was
exacted was that as officer of a cor.

LIGHT is NOT NEEDED.
English Scientist Says Suns Effect on
Man is Bad,

DR.. Charles e. Woodruff has made
an exceedingly interesting investiga
ton of the effects of tropical light on
white men. The origin of his investi-
cation was an attempt to prove or dis
prove the theory that the skin pig
mentation Of man served to exclude
the short OF actinic rays of light
whose action is to destroy living pro-
toplasm.
II this theory is true 1t will ex.
plain at once many anthropological
riddles. We find in IL reason why
white men, while capital colonizers in
cold or temperate regions and saga
cious administrators Of tropical col
onies, have failed when they attempt
ed themselves to colonize in hot coun-
tries; why blond types prevail in the
cloudy, almost sunless regions of the
north Of Europe, brunette types in the
dazzlingly light countries bordering
on the Mediterranean, and the negro
in Central Africa: and why the type
of man living in the tireless city is
less blond than that of the country
man who has during large portion
of his outdoor life the protection Of
woodland and orchard.
DR.. Woodruff soon felt bound to ad-
NIT that the sun is not the beneficent
deity we thought him to be as we
worshipped, but that he delights in
sacrifices and Stays ruthlessly those
l.. l. L..
lieve that man does not need the light
and it is almost shock to be made
to realize that the vast majority of
land animals live in absolute dark
ness" Yet DR.. Woodruff leaves little
reason to doubt his statements. for be-
sides the cogency of his reasoning
from universally accepted facts, he
fairly bristles with authorities whom
he cites in support of his position.

Disease Germs Find Judgement
In Unused Portions Of the
Lungs - Frequent Cause Of
Dread TubcrculOais

Air is made to enter the chest by
enlarging the chest cavity, or thorax.
This is accomplished by a downward
movement Of the diaphragm and an
outward movement in all directions OF
the lateral chest walls. This is large
ly accomplished by the muscles which
lift the ribs and pull them outward
from the center of the body. The
lungs are emptied by the natural re-
turn Of the parts to passive state.
when the muscles cease their pulling
upon the chest walls. In ordinary
deep respiration. when the breathing
movements are not interfered with,
the movement consists chiefly of an
enlargement Of the trunk in the re-
gion Of the waist. There is at the
same time marked bullying forward
of the abdominal wall. This style of
breathing is sometimes, though in.
correctly, termed abdominal respira-
ton. In abdominal respiration proper
there is forward movement OF the
abdomen, but without marked enlarg-
ing Of the waist. Abdominal respira-

oNEIpAs' SACRED STONE.
Last Relic of once Powerful Tribe
Now In a Utica Cemetery.

Just within the gates of Forest Hill
cemetery at Utica, N. ", the visitor
sees a curious oval stone resting upon
grass plot. A century ago Oneida
county was the reservation of the
powerful tribe of Oneida Indians, the
second nation in the Confederation OF
the IroQuois.
The first settlement of the Oneidas
so their history runs, was near the
lake which bears their name, cen.
fury before Columbus steered his ships
into Western seas. 1t was there that
they found the stone and adopted II
as their sacrifcial altar. "Onia" is
the dialect word for stone and from
1t comes Oneida" the tribal name,
children of the stone"
AS the tribe increased in numbers
generation of the monolith grew until
1t became the indispensable shrine OF
the Oneidas. When the nation re-
moved from the region of the lake to
their encampment where now Is the
town of Stockbridge, the rock, accord
ing to their legend, went before them
without the assistance of human
hands, and deposited itself in the cen
ter of butternut grove overlooking q
wide and fertile valley.
In this wood 1t remained until the
influx of the white settlers and the
march of civilization dispersed the
tribe. In 1S49, when the Forest Hill
cemetery, at Utica, was laid out, the
trustees learned that James Gregg of
stockbridge, on whose farm the stone
rested, was DESTROYS that 1t should be
removed to some public enclosure. Its
removal was thereupon secured.
At the dedication of the cemetery
the remnants of the once powerful ma
ton and handful of Onondagas were
present. Their head chief, Ononeogon,
made an address which was the vale.
dictory of the Oneidas. The little
group of Indians then sang their ma
tional songs around the relic and sur
rendered 1t to the care of their white
brethren. To-day the tribe has COM
pletely lost Its identity.
