Physicians use. the word ganglion to
describe swelling of the sheath OF q
tendon, which contains fluid. and which
usually occurs about thewTdst. A weep
ing sinew is the same thing. A little
swelling forms. and the fluid distends
it more and more as IL collects. The
swelling is elastic and soft. Some
times it is small and does not cause
any trouble. and occasionally it passes
away without any treatment. 1t may
yield to long continued gentle pressure.
like that which ribbon band exerts.
A well placed ribbon bandage also
helps to relieve the feeling Of weak
ness that almost always accompanies
a ganglion.
In few cases the fluid that the
ganglion contains is tuberculous. but
in most cases the ganglionic swelling
is entirely harmless. In tuberculous
cases it is best to remove the sheath
and it's contents completely.
Ganglions are usually seen on the
back of the wrist, but sometimes one

size. 1t is then likely to spread down
the sinews into the palm Of the hand
That naturally cripples the victim more
or less, especially since the swelling
often gives pain in cold and damp
weather.
There are various ways Of breaking
a weeping sinew. Sometimes it can be
dispersed by sudden pressure applied
by the thumbs, which bursts the
ganglion without breaking the skin. 1t
is best then to bandage the part very
tightly in order to prevent the little
sac from filing up again. The band
age should contain some thin, hard
substance, such as large coin, direct
" over the site of the>sac. Sometimes
a ganglion refuses to burst, but yields
to tight bandaging combined with treat
ment by a blister or by painting with
iodine. The cure in such cases is eff
fected by gradual absorption. If other
means fail there is nothing to do but
to open the eanglion and scrape out its
contents.-Youth's Companion.

Build Up Your
Home Paper

1T is not enough for a live COM
munity that advertising should be
correctly used to stimulate business
and to promote general prosperity.
The home newspaper is social and
intellectual thing as well as c medium
of business. One cannot serve the
community better than by seeing that
interesting items get to the editor;
call him up and tell him. To do so
is the neighborly .thing-a courtesy
not to the publisher alone but to
everyone in the district who might be
interested in your little item"
Whenever Eric W. Allen, head Of
the department of journalism at the
University of Oregon, speaks in a
town, he urges the citizens to get be-
hind their horae paper in both bust
ness and a news way on the ground
that the newspapers can be made a
wonderful agency for building up a
community. Mr. Allen means not
merely the community whose business
men are prospering, but the commun-
ity that is a real social and intellectu-
al center. He looks to the home pa
per as the most powerful means with
in reach to bring about this kind
of success"
"If you can once get all your peo-
pie into the way of voluntarily pour
ing interesting scraps or news
into the weekly paper, you will add
immensely to the general friendliness
of the community" says Mr.. Allen.
you will be helping to make your
town the kind of place where people
want to stay and to which former
residents will want to come back.
80 try to get ideas into the paper.
Write little for 1t once in a while.
Don't let the editor do all the think
ing for the town. II you publish
ideas, you start others to thinking,
and you raise by just so much the
general level of intelligence.
Encourage the home paper to be
a business, social and intellectual
center of the community. 1t will
repay richly"

Bathtub Strays
Down Main Street

Many humorous incidents occurred
during the wind storm last Sunday.
Among the stories told about the
pranks played by the gale, the tale
told by Cack Patterson takes the
cake. CaclI says that he was tacking
his way through the wind toward the
safety of a downtown smoke shop
when he heard a rafting and bang
ing which seemed to be fast ap-
preaching down the street. He looked
around and was surprised to see a
big bathtub sailing down the street.
Sailing" is his word, not ours. He
quickly decided that the proper
thing for him to do as a chivalrous
citizen was to look into the matter
more fully. He did so and found the
tub to be empty Cack rigged a storm
anchor on the watery craft and tied
1t up to telegraph pole. 1t is sup
posed that the owner came and recov-
cred his property, since nothing could
be found of the evidence when a COM
mittee went to find proof of the story.

R0seburg Man
Finds Beer Joker

While devotees of Bacchus have
been bewailng the 24-quart limit set
by the Legislature, and have figured
that they would have to go dry on
each Sunday and on some Saturdays
in the month, a Roseburg man who
has made a~study of the matter de-
clares that there is Colored gen.
tleman in the woodpile, and that the
bibulously inclined will be much bet
ter off Than they have heretofore fam
cied.
The little Joker" in the measure,
he declared, lies in the fact that a
so-called quart bottle does not con-
tain full quart, and that 80
quarts" of the amber fluid are nee
essary to make up the legal limit.
Thus the lover of malt liquors will
have a bottle for each day in the
month, and six over at the end of the
thirty days. If he prefers to drink
pints, it will take six dozen of the
alleged half quarts to make the
equivalent of the SO quart" bottles.

Saturday Lecture
At the Library

THE Peace Movement and It's Re-
lation to the Great War" is the topic
of lecture to be given at the library
Saturday, February 13, at 7:45 p. M,
by Prof. E. E. DeCou of the Univers-
ity of Oregon. Prof. DeCou is a deep
student of our International relations
and his treatment of the above sub
ject will no doubt be much appreci-
ated by our people. This is a part of
the university extension work and no
charge is made for the same; it is
only up to the people of Ashland to
show the extension department that
the lectures are being enjoyed so that
the work may continue. Prof. DcCou
will also lecture at the Belleview
school house Friday evening on Can
ada, and this lecture will be illus
trated with views of that country.

Former Valley Man
InventS AmphibiOn

The Marshfield Record gives the
following details of the invention re-
Gently perfected by V. C. Gorst, a
former resident of Grants Pass;
"V. c. Gorst's invention, which he
terms an amphibion, is likely to solve
transportation problem that many
minds had puzzled over since Coos
Bay was first settled. The machine
is combination invented by Mr..
Gorst and is a peculiar looking affair
1t is built on the frame of a Hupmo-
bile and the motive power is one of
the S0-horsepower aeroplane engines
taken from an old .aeroplane." The
engine is mounted about six or seven
feet high, back of the automobile,
and the power is generated in the
aeroplane propeller, which revolves
at a tremendous speed. There are no
chain drives and the machine is sent
forward. at a terrific speed by the
propeller.
Mr.. Gorst has made two trips
from North Bend, going into the
water, speeding to Jarvis Landing,
thence across the sandspit to the
seawall and up the coast to the imp
qua river. There, are pontoons on
each side of the craft to support the
machine while in the water. The
trip from Ten Mile creek to Jarvis
Landing, a distance of ten miles, was
made in eleven minutes on one of
the return trips.
There was a big crowd at North
Bend to see the initial introduction
of the amphibion this week, and al
though Mr.. Gorst went through to
Jarvis Landing over the water at
15-mile rate, he is not satisfied and
desires to get more speed for water
out of the machine, and will there
fore experiment some on improve
ments.
'As an instance of the excessive
speed to be gotten from the amphi-
bon, the trip from Ten Mile creek to
the Umpqua the other day is an illus
traton. Mr.. Gorst had several trunks
on the machine and waited till the
automobiles and their passengers
were out Of sight and then passed
them all before the Umpqua river was
reached. The machine carries the
chauffeur and five passengers.
