TREATING FEVER IN DISEASES
When Temperature should BE Re
duced-Value of Cold Baths
and Fresh Air,

The normal temperature of the human
body is about $50 degrees, a temperature
which the Internal forces Of the body are
able TO maintain at a constant figure al
most entirely without regard to the tenn
peTature OF the surrounding atmosphere.
Any elevation of the body temperature
above 9S.6 degrees or SO degrees is called
fever, and is an indication of something
wrong, SO also is a fall OF the tempera-
ture below the normal point; but this is a
raEer condition han fever and Is due
usually to special causes which It is not
necessary to consider here.
Since fever is the most evident symptom
OF a number Of different diseases and the
one that gives character, as It were, to
many acute infectious diseases, It has come
to be synonymous with disease itself, and
It is common to speak Of some one being
sick OF a fever. But fever is so far from
being the disease that It is often the cura-
tive and li~fe-saving condition.
Many infections, such as pneumonia and
typhoid fever, would be more often fatal
II il were not for the high body tsmpera-
ture that charaeterizes them. In pneumonia,
for example, It has been noted that the
higher the temperature-under certain
limits. OF course-the more favorable is the
course OF the disease, II is therefore not
a wise thing TO give remedies 10 reduce
fever unless the elevation Of temperature
has continued a very long time or Is 80 high
-overlN degrees-as to threaten in itself
the normal performance OF the vital funo-
lions.
Sometimes. OF course, the fever may get
out OF control, and from being nlmical

WINTER FATAL TO MINERS
Cold weather Responsible for
Many of the Terrible
Disasters.

II II did not get cold in winter. 1000 Of
those who meet death In the mines each
year might live.
Experts now state that the vast majority
OF explosions are from coal dust, not from
gas. They say that coal dust fills the mine
when It is exceedingly dry. The mine gets
exceedingly dry in cold weather. and for
this there is an explanation that is the
point in the whole matter.
Ventilation is the prime necessity in all
mining operations. Air contains vast guam
titles Of moisture. but warm air carries
more cold air, in the summer time the
warm air which is forced into the mines
is abundantly laden with moisture. It be-
comes cooler underground and is more
likely to deposit moisture than to take
IT up. Then the mine retains at least a
normal amount Of moisture.
But when cold weather comes the pro.
cess is reversed. The cold air with a TEN
p%erature Of thirty degrees or more con-
tains little water. AS II advances through
the mine II grows warmer, demands always
more moisture and extracts this from the
sides and top and bottom Of the mine.
When at last this air comes out Of the
mine IT is from twenty to forty degrees
warmer than when 1t entered, and carries
great quantities OF moisture which II has
drunk while under ground. The mine Is
just so much the drier for it's having PASSED
through. At a single mine where the air
entering and leaving was carefully ana.
lyzed 1t was found that this air was dauv
sapping the mine to the amount Of fifty
tons OF water. The same is true Of every
mine OF its size, and the amount is greater
or less according to the size OF the mine.
When the great fans have driven this
current OF air through the mine for .
rev weeks It becomes as parched as sa.
hara.
1t might be supposed that II there WA
water on the floor Of this mine II would
be drunk up and that the balance OF the
mine would remain moist. This is not true
for but a small portion Of the air can com,
In contact with the surface Of the water

ture and is e~xacting It from whatever Il
comes in contact with.
The activities in the dried and parcbed
mine naturally pulverize the coal and
fan 1t into the air. Finally the danger
point Is reached, for the mine is full OF
this dust.
Then a blast is set off and the coal sus,

images to look loving. He takes a few Of
those optical illusion pictures, wherein the
couple appear to be kissing one another,
whereas we are solemnly assured that they
only seem to be. Then, after they have
been pushed, scolded, and enticed into some
twenty other tender attitudes, the only
chang being in the background, unless,
perchance, the author has left one of them
alone long enough to dream of that other.
the work is over--for the models, at least.
Mr.. Picture Man, after Diminishing them
with the proper compensation and perhaps
a luncheon at some nearby restaurant, be-
takes himself, with his camera and plates,
to his studio in town, where he or his as
sistant develops the negatives. which are
then printed upon transparent slides OF
glass.
Many sets OF these slides are made, each
set containing fourteen slides, counting one
which shows the title page Of the song
and another bearing the printed chorus.
The artists in another room now get
these sets Of slides and go TO work to color
them.
In the song just quoted the scene was
moonlight. Therefore 1t is up to the slide
artist to put in a nice round moon, color
ing the sky darkly and pricking IN twink
ling stars with a pin. That is how moon
light scenes are made TO order, so that the
next time you see one in an illustrated
song you think how nice It would be to be
there yourself. Just stop and reflect that
when that picture was taken II was in
the garish light Of day, that there was
no moon, only a srouchy photographer
overlooking the spooning with such ssr-
castle remarks as, Jaw, hold on to her as
il you meant it," or, For heavens sake,
Miss Blank, don't lean on him as II he was
a red hot stove" or perhaps under his
breath, 20. blankety blank. why didn't 1
bring out someone from the mOrBuef"
Thus is the moonlight difficulty solved
by the picture man. But there are others.
For instance. It may be winter and the
song which demands immediate illustration,
may likewise demand a summer scene OF
flowers and trees.
The slide artist then paints in the green
foliage upon the bare trees photographed,
while artificial vines and flowers are used
to entwine garden seats or swings, and the
models stand about shivering I'm a cold
wind and leave their heavy winter over
coats just long enough 10 pose in the sum
mer clothes they wear underneath.
The picture looks Ike June, whereas it
was taken in February.
The picture man, like the comedian and
the funny man on the newspaper, is a
sad and sober minded individual. He has
long since ceased to laugh at the things
which happen to him in his business, but
occasionally he tells some OF these things,
and then wonders why his friends seem
so amused.-ChicaGo Tribune.

the medieval universities ebbed and flowed
from year to year.
Sometimes. too, a quarrel of some kind
with the government or with the teaching
force would bring a sudden secession Of
hundreds OF thousands OF students along
with part Of the teachers. When Abelard
lectured at the University OF Paris the
number OF students is said to have risen
to $4,000.
Francis 1, visiting the Spanish University
Of Alcala de HenRres in the sixteenth CEN
tury, found 1000 students. Bologna univer-
sity had 10000 students at the early height
Of its prosperity. It is now furnishing with
1900.
Padua, which owed it's first success to a
schism at Bologna, was threatened with
extinction almost Immediately aftervard,
in the year 1923, because dissatisfied stu
dents received a proposal from VercelH to
give them 500 houses and other. privileges
and conveniences II they would remove to
that place,
Bologna in the early part Of the sixteenth
century felt itself in the depths because It
had only Loo students. Half a century be-
fore 1t numbered 200 students from Ger
many alone.
Salerno, which had had a famous school
Of medicine, took on the character of a
university for a time when the faculty Of
Naples came over to 1t and was a great
school. Naples had brief revival, a tre-
nIenduous reputation, and a great roster
for two or three years after 1E72 because
Thomas Aquinas was one Of the lecturers.
The University of Salamanca had 5000 stu
dents in part of the sixteenth century.
The German medieval universities did
not rival the greatest OF Italy, France and
Spain In the number of their students and
their great growth in that respect has come
with the recent material prosperity OF Ger
many and the worldwide reputation OF
German scholarship. The Gottingen which
is not medieval in origin, had more stu
dents in 1923 than 1t had eighty years later.
The Dutch universities, though not so IA
nous as they were 300 or 400 years ago,
probably have about as many students as
they had in their greatest days.

from Consul in Nicaragua.
MESSAGE SENT TO MExICol
Reported Two Countries Are Now

trail America and Program
VIII He Decided soon. .ATl

WASHINGTON, Nov. s7.-There Is reason
10 believe that the State department. at
last has received a communication from
Mr.. Caldera, the American vice consul at
Managua, but the contents OF his message
go far have been kept a profound secret
and IL the department has received any
thing from Nicaragua recently OF an i'm
portant character IL Is likewise being with
held.
The report that the United States is in
communication with President DiaE OF
Mexico with reference to some Joint ac-
ton in the Nicaraguan situation is dis
credited in naval quarters, but 1t is be-
lieved kilograms relating to Nicaragua are
passing between the two countries. II
was stated at the department that II was
extremely unlikely that any official an
nouncement of Importance concerning
Nicaragua would be made earlier than Sun
day night or Monday morning. This Is
assumed to indicate that matters OF con-
sequence are under consideration which
may be expected to eliminate about that
time.
II secret orders have been issued to the
army transports-Logan. Crook and Blu
ford-at San Francisco, to prepare for i'm
mediate departure for Nicaragua, as has
been reported. the action was taken with
out the knowledge or authority OF the sec
rotary Of war.
Such was the statement made at the War
department today.
The navy is waiting on the State depart
ment. That accounts for the indecision
over the date OF sailing Of the Prairie
from Philadelphia with the 100 marines for
the isthmus of Panama and possibly for
service in Nicaragua.
The Albany and Yorktown are still held
in Magdalena bay, awaiting developments
in Central America. Tn Tacoma, Marietta
and Des Moines are in the vicinity Of Port
Limon, Costa Rica, Just waiting. The
Vicksburg is at Corinto, Nicaragua.
As long as there Is a possibility OF
marines being needed in Nicaragua, tho
Prairie will remain at Leagu Island.
The Navy department has adopted this
course so as to be able to send 800 marines
or more . to Nicaragua from the United
States proper in event they are needed In
Nicaragua. The battalion OF marines to
be sent to Panama numbers about 400.
The arrival today or tomorrow OF the
Missouri at Hampton Roads from New
York will be watched closely because OF
the rumor that It was 70 be sent TO Cen
trail America. Intention OF sending II on
such a cruise Is denied at the Navy do
