Views OF The ( ress
Cdrelessness

TINE POSTMASTER at Chicago
says 43 per cent Of the mail
a. handled at that post-office is i'm
properly addressed, and it costs
$4,000 a month TO look up the ad-
dresses and correct mistakes. From
these figures one would conclude
that carelessness Is a national sin,
and a costly one, too, says the Ohio
State Journal
"Carelessness is one Of the symp-
toms Of character, also Of mental
efficiency; and indicates a weak char
acter, and q dull mind. Think of AZ
per cent. careIessness in directing
letters. We might argue that much
earelessness occurs when one fails
to do what he promises, or neglects
to pay a debt, or return a book. All
these forms OF. carelessness 20 to
make UP national character. which
is probably AZ per cent. off.
1t does seem that or education
should attend to this IA. and trv
to make it less than it j. Knowi.
edge Of arithmetic and parsing wont
do. The only way to train one away
from carelessness is to stiffen Up the
impulsive and intuitiye abilities. A
course in the Golden Rule win help
q good deal. Keeping company with

They said it was a Microbe and a

They steamed it in 4 vapor of a

They froze 1t in the freezer that was
cold as Banished Hope
And washed it In permanganate with
carbolated soap.
In sulfureted hydrogen they stepped

They trimmed its frisky whiskers

They donned their rubber mittens
and they took it by the hand
And lected it member of the Fumi-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
As The Patient Sees 1t
Mrs. III. W., describing her trouble,
says that one doctor looked at her
tongue, feIt her bRlse, and said he
guessed 1t acds her "nerpes and stont-
dch." she then goes on ingenuoHsly
to sag that "thc other doctor is
good doctor. He examined my heart
and chest, and he made me rem0Ue
eUery stitch from ny chest, too"
AHsGer-The other doctor is
treating Mrs. H. w. with success.
Here's hoping the NERVE and stom-
.ach" soothsayer may see this and
CLEAN the moral. Nowadays it Is
pretty hard to diagnose diseases by
second sight.
A Word To Our Correspondents
We cannot too strongly call our
readers attention to the necessity
for signing their letters which
they address to us. 1t is regrettable
that so many letters must be left un.
answered because this rule is over
locked. Also stamps must be at
tached to addressed envelopes which
are enclosed for return. This is
imperative.

VIZ HEN a child has an acute

HEN a child has an acute
NV tonsfllitis nlwhich the crypts
or small openings OF the tom
sfls become filled with yellowish or
whitiEh material, the mother, and
sometimes the doctor, fears diph-
iberia. The disease is infectious.
1t is followed. or complicated, in a
certain proportion OF cases, by Joint
or acute heart manifestations, and
for this reason requires careful
treatment.
IL begins with chilly feelings, and
aches or pain in the back and limbs.
But these pains in the limbs do not
signify that the trouble is rheumatic.
The throat becomes sore, fever de-
velops. the child complains OF diff
Guilty or pain when swallowing.
The throat looks worse, the child
Is more feverish than is usually the
case in diphthexia. In diphtheria
the fever is generally not pronounced
lin other words, the system does
not put up the same active fight
against diphtheritic infection that 1t
does against the usual streptococcus
or staphylococcus infection Of fol-
hcular tonsillitis.
The tongue is coated, the breath
heavy and foul. For about three
days the child is pretty sick in most
cases.
In doubtful cases a culture from
the throat tells the doctor exactly
what he is dealing with. But the
doctors opinion is better than the
laboratory report, for diphtheria.
germs are often found in healthy
throats, and unquestioned cases of
diphtheria sometimes fail to give a
positive culture, especially after
gargles have been used.
In the way of home treatment, cold
congresses are etficacious. Wiring
out towel in cold tap water, fold
it several times and place it across
the throat and under both ears.
Over it apply a piece OF oiled silk or
