the mouth, but there is plenty Of pain
on account Of the condi-
ton of the mouth.
Have your dentist go over your
teeth at least once each year. Keep
them clean, avoid disease. It's al
most as easy, and lots safer.
Are your teeth sound, and is your

Dear Doctor What is the cause
of excessive urination? | am COM
PEELED to rise six to dozen times ev-
cry night on that account, thereby
breaking sleep. Am in good health
otherwise, and would like to know the
cause. I thought it might be symp-
tom Of kidney trouble. Am - years
of age. l.. V. F.
You have symptoms Of diabetes.
Would advise urinalysis at once.
Inflammation of the bladder will also
cause excessive urination. A COM
plete treatment, including diet, will
be found in Vol. No. of the Home
Health Club books.
Dear Doctor:-I have a lump on
top Of my wrist about the size of a
large hazelnut. 1t causes a dull pain
up through my arm. Have had it for
two months. What shall | do for it =?
Miss A. H.
The lump is very likely what IS
known as Ganglion or Weeping SIM
ew. The usual treatment is to place
the wrist and hand on something
solid and strike the lump with heavy
book, breaking the fbrous sac con-
tanning the watery or jelly-like fluid.
Bind a small wad of cotton directly
over the site Of the lump with an ad-
hesive strip, or surgeons plaster,
around the wrist and wear it for
some days.
Dear Doctor What sort of winter
underwear would you advise for a
person who is past 60 years Of age,
who lives in the northern part of the
United States? A. II. B.
Wooden underwear is the best. The
most comfortable underwear, not on
ly for those whose skins are sensi-
tive, but for everyone is, is garment
woven with cotton next the skin.
Dear Doctor DO you consider it
dangerous for a family with children
to live with a person who has con-
sumption? L. S. T.
Yes, and especially so during the
winter months. If consumptives
were extremely careful about cough
ing and taking care of their sputum,
their eating and drinking utensils, the
danger would not be so great.
Dear Doctor DO you consider it
bad practice to allow children to
sleep with adults, and why?
L. T. B.
Yes, very. Children do not re-
quire as much cover as do adults.
There are other reasons.

our line was 1873 yards from the walls
of the fort and was approached from
down the hill by a covered ditch. Be
yond the line a tunnel had been driven
into the hillside, extending under the
fort, and at the end of the tunnel had
bee placed four hoppers, each contain

be exploded with a fuse laid along the

of what was going on. We had been
out on picket duty all day July 20 and

We were dismounted and sent with

the evening when we took this posi-
ton Our only knowledge of what was
going TO happen was our order to
charge at the sound of the signal gun
We expected this at o'clock in the
morning. Three o'clock came and
passed and it was not until that we
heard the signal gun.
"As we afterward found out, the
fuse had been lighted, but had burned
only half the distance, not much more
than a stones throw. There had been
call for volunteers to go into the
tunnel and light the fuse where it had
burned out and one man was chosen
from among the many. He fired it and
got safely out of the tunnel before the
explosion.

hard inside the walls. The enemy
drove us back, but we returned to the
