Barbecue. - Correspondence of
! the Associated Press. Items OF thou
sands of soldiers in the active fighting
army at the front have not fired a shot
for a month or two at a time. They
serve their fortnight at the extreme
firing line, some hours a day in the
| trenches, or just next to them with
/ their own artillery throwing shells
over their heads, but never having the
chance to empty a cartridge at their
adversaries. The intervals in the re-
serve lines are spent in hard work,
trenching and terrifying, repairing
roads, building shelters for themselves
and the horses, and in towns, where
quartered, keeping streets clean.
The private is becoming thoroughly
tired of the war; but his attitude to-
ward all the unromantic aspects OF
his work is fine. He understands that
in mending a road he is contributing
to the success CT the French armies
just as though he were firing a gun
Although he wants the war to get on
ward and end, he cheerfully takes the
commonplace with the excitement
Some of the excellent roads back OF
the lines are being repaired with poles
cut from the forests laid crosswise.

The Weather a Factor of Health
William Brady,M.D.

! getting out in the weather. Our sus-
, picions may be allayed by common
sense; we may even concede that a
remedy which cures pneumonia or tu-
berculosis ought to be of some value
as a preventive of catarrhal infec-
lions. But on this subject our minds
are like rubber-though convinced
against our will. We hold the same
opinion still.
Questions and Answers.
Lorraine writes: Not for your ben
fit, but for my own, | wish you would
reconcile two sets of opposing answers
you have given various readers. First,
in one article you said goitre was not
caused by drinking water and the
same day you answered an inquiry
and stated that drinking water is be-
lieved to be cause of soitre. Second,
you said in one place that elastic
stockings should be worn by persons
with enlarged or varicose veins. and
in another place you said it was bet
ter to avoid elastic stockings, as they
would not help the condition.
Reply.
If all patients were as keen as YOU
well, to explain: We stated that drink
ing water has as much to do with
goitre as amber beads have to do with
its removal. Then we answered a let
te- on the subject, stating that goitre
$ believed to be caused by some
residential factor, such as climate,
drinking water. or character of food. !
The first statement was our opinion, !
based on scientific facts. The second |
statement is true-thcusands of pea
pie believe drinking water in certain |
places causes goitre. AS for the use
of elastic stockings-they should be [.
worn by persons who have chronic /
incurable varicose veins, merely 10 as
sist the circulation. We did advise a
young woman to avoid elastic stock
ings, because her veins were young
and perhaps capable of regaininC nor
nal elasticity. incidentally, your crit
cism emphasizes the error of one in
dividual adopting any treatment which
has been suggested for another indi-
gidual.
