RATIONAL TREATMENT

The normal individual in good health

viduals of the same family. There is also
tendency to recovery from Infection. in

This is shown by the fact that post-mor-

FRIEDMAN NOT ACCUSED.
Treasury Official Says He Has Not
Violated Serum Laws.

At no time since his arrival in this
country has DIR. Frederick Franz Fried
mann violated the public health laws gov
erning the sale of unlicensed serums, in
the opinion of the Treasury Department.
From high officer in the Treasury it
has been learned that Investigations
made so far do not warrant that any le-
gal steps should be taken against him.
There is no controversy between the
Treasury Department and DIR. Fried
manu. said the official.
Though not in the form OF an official
statement, the declaration of the official
indicates that the Treasury Department
will not interfere with DIR. Friedmann's
activities so long as he does not violate
any of the specifications of the law con-
corning the sale of unlicensed serums in

may be cured without medical treatment,
let us inquire what are the conditions
most favorable for such recovery. In
pursuing this inquiry we shall find that
these conditions are Identical with those
which have been found the most i'm
portant factors in the prevention of the
disease. Those factors are the various
conditions as to fresh fair wholesome
food, or good habits, etc. which favor
a robust state of health. Where there
is normal vital resisting power the
susceptibility to tuberculosis infection is
slight. But when the vital resistance
is below par. for any reason, this sus-
ceptibility is greatly increased. The pre-
disposing causes are to certain extent
inherited. That is. some persons are
born with insufficient lung capacity
feeble digestion, nervous system
which easily gives way to strain.
Need Careful Guarding.
Such persons are especially liable to
suffer from unfavorab BILE conditions Of en-
vironment and they furnish a consid
cradle proportion of the cases of tuber
culosis. They should be guarded from
infancy against the evil effects of over
crowdng. insufficient or indigestible
food, overwork-or overp'ay-or per-
ncious habits. 4 most important point
in the treatment of tuberculosis is the
early recognition of the fact that the
tubercle bacillus has effected a Judgment
in the lungs or elsewhere. This is fun
ia mental. for the earlier the diagnosis
is made the better will pc the prospect of
recovery. Unfortunately in a
large proportion of the cases an early
diagnosis is not made. Many of the
so-called ''inc,pient' cases which are
sent to sanatoriums are found by skilled
physicians to be in the second stage of
the disease The detection of early cases
calls for special skill in physical dag
noSis.
The presence of tubercle baciIli in the
sputum confirms the diagnosis but much
valuable time will often be lost if we
wait for this confirmation, which shows
that the tubercles in the lungs are al

IT'S COMMISSIONER HOUSTON

One year ago, William H. Houston defeated John w.
Rely for a city commissionership by a majority of seven.
Yesterday, Mr.: Houston was returned over MI. Rely by a
majority of 172.
These figures, we believe, emphasize two important
points in regard to the city government. The first is that
the people of Missoula have confidence in the commission
form OF government. The second is that Mr.. Houston S
townsmen are satisfied with the record he has made as
commissioner.
Yesterdays vote was one of the most important ever
taken in Missoula. The attacks upon Mr.. Houston had
been so vicious and so bitter that they deceived many peo-
pie, even though they were without warrant in fact. Then,
too, there were many of the opponents of the commissioner
the desire to get" the commission form Of government.
So the battle of the ballots yesterday was as much against
the commission government as it was against Mr.. Houston.
That the decision of the voters was in favor of the commits
sion, is certainly for the benefit of Missoula. 1t calls for
the congratulation of all good citizens.
The change from the old system of city government to the
accomplished quickly. The old system was long estab-
lished; there we're many changes in detail to be made; all
these alterations required time. Now the commission
form Of government may be regarded as firmly established.
The city has a good commission, its members are familiar
with their duties, they are giving the city the best govern
ment it has ever had.
The reelection of Mr.. Houston Strengthens the commits
sion and, therefore, strengthens the new form of govern
ment. Mr.. Houston, as head of the department of public
safety, gives to the city the services of a man experienced
in that line of work, wise in business matters and sound in
Judgment.
Of the opposition to the Houston candidacy, not much
need be said. 1t was overcome and that is the main thing;
Mr. keely was nominated as a socialist and 1t was natural
that the socialist should support him. They did and there
is nobody who will blame them for their action, except that
a political nomination is all out of tune with the commits
sion form of government. But there were others who at
tached themselves to the socialist movement, whose motives
were not clean. The action OF these men allies them with
the socialists, but We shall not be surprised if the socialists
%repudiate them. Then they will be mavericks-ther
proper class.
1t is enough that Mr.. Houston was elected. His major
ity is twenty-five times as great as when he ran against the
same opponent a year ago. That should satisfy Bill. It|
satisfies his friends. Missoula is assured Of another year
Of clean, honest, economical government.

JOHN

Jack London, the peerless writer of
stories of men in the rough, is the
author of what he calls "Alcoholic
Memoirs" a serial running in the Sat
John Barleycorn,' The story pur-
ports to be the autobiography of a
habitual drinker who. after years of
close acquaintance with King Alcohol
has given up the habit. 1t is an il
Illuminating temperance story, one
which describes drunken orgies and
many a saturnalia of debauch in a
manner terribly real to the man who
drinks and can realize the horrors of
it all. The article begins with the
very infancy of the man in the story
and throughout it's entire length it is
devoted to the fact thai drinking as a
habit, with few exceptions, is acquired
through the dangerous ~propinquity
n easy accessibility Of places where
liquor may be obtained. The argu-
ment is plain that many a man falls
by the wayside through the per-
niciousness Of alcohol only because
the stuff is so easy to get. The au-
thor does not condemn the use of
liquor entirely, but he places emphasis
on the fact that the great humble of
saloons and country ~roadhouses leads
to the growth of a habit few men find
possible to shake off. 1t is an illum-
mating story and n which perhaps
may suggest to the temperance adVo-

Almost every hospital now makes
some provision for training women

the profession rising all the time.
Formerly it was the custom to pay
pupil nurses a living salary while
learning. Many institutions, as well
as the nurses themselves, are object
ing to this, because it puts the pro-

would not take pains to secure higher
qualifications. A large proportion of
the members of the traind nurses as
sociations now advocate requiring the
pupil nurse to pay a small sum for

in a hospital training school, and

discontinued the salaries paid to pupil
nurses in training.
