A REPORT comes from London
"A that as one result of the war
n there has been a great decrease
in the number of persons suffering
with imaginary ailments who fancy
they are in need of medical advice
and treatment. The Offices Of fash
ionable physicians who up to year
ago had been receiving large fees
from wealthy, neurotics and hypo-
chrondriacs have become compara-
lively deserted, and they report that
their practice has fallen off to an
alarming extent since the war began.
Thus we are directed to view war

purely psychological and without the
patients being conscious of the bene-
fits they are deriving. That the all
ments thus cured were largely imagi-
nary does not essentially alter the
character of the phenomenon. Most
ailments are imaginary, to the extent
that they are aggravated II not or
iginnlly induced by nervous weak
ness and the chance to concentrate
the mind on symptoms, though the
suffering is none the less real.
The most important factor in
effecting a cure IS the diverting of
the attention TO another channel II

Views Of The Press
War, The Doctor

is the common experience that pain
or disorder in any part Of the body
is quite likely to disappear with the
development Of another trouble that
is more painful or serious. An
added stress or strain in ones en-
vironment, or an accumulation Of
extra responsibilities is often
enough to effect a complete cure in
cases Of nervous origin by exercising
a diverting and stimulating infiu-
ence. The patient is 'taken out Of
himself as the saying is, and is
forced to forget his trouble, unless
it is actually something that is vital.
II is a Wholesale condition of this
sort that has been affecting England,
and indeed all the belligerent coun-
tries. Minor personal troubles have
evapOrated to a remarkable extent in
the face of the national emergency.
In this respect, and undoubtedly in
many thousands of cases, the war
has been acting as vigorous tonic.
Minor rnaladies and trivial troubles
have disappeared in the tidal wave
CT general trouble that has been
affecting Europe. 1t is one item that
is worth pondering in any attempt
to discover and catalogue the di-
rect benefits of a conflict that is
crowded with miseries and horrors.

THE gentle autumn takes place
about half way between the sun
stroke and the chilblain, and
lasts until just before the coal man
buys his new automobile. II is that
period of the year when the mercury
goes steadily down hill and prepares
to crawl into its bulb and hibernate.
The gentle autumn would be
great relief from summer, If 1t were
not for autumn itself. Mankind is
too busy working in the autumn en-
joy it properly. Autumn is the time
of the year when the last winters
overcoat must be dug out Of the at
tic, and the vines and flowers must
be put to bed, and the modest geran-
iums must be rooted up and lugged
down cellar. The furnace also be-
gins to obtrude during the autumn.
1t is not as voracious as it is later
on, but it must be nourished on
kindling and coal almost every morn
ing, and as the worried householder
realizes that he now has another
mouth to feed, he sometimes wishes
that autumn had never been invented.
Autumn is very beautiful in spots,
but poets do not sing about it as
much as they do about spring. This
is because about September most
poets stop writing and begin to hunt
real jobs. The universal opinion of
those who do not write is that
autumn is sad and melancholy time
when natures beauties slowly die
and heaven weeps large cold tears
over the last baseball games.
This is quite largely true The
death Of the leaves is a particularly
distressing thing, and will continue
to be until Mr.. Burbank invents a
brand Of leaf which will not die on
the lawn or in the cave spouts.
Autumn is the time of the year
when we make the saddening discov-
cry that large families of moths
have been guarding against race sui
eide in our last winters clothes.

tumn, and great numbers of political

and. from obvious psychological in
fluence, really Is a healthier person
for the time being.
However. there are some dangers
she must avoid In the first place,
she must beware of those paints and
other accessories of the toilet which
contain lead, wood alcohol, mercury,
and similar harmful ingredients. In
the second place she must be careful
how she powders, lest she suffer con-
junctivitis.
Conjunctivitis is medical highbrow
language for sore eyes--infamed lin
ing Of the eyelids.
The particular kind of conjunc-
tivitis caused by face powder is
characterized by blurring Of vision,
inability to use the eyes for near
work, and frequent seizures OF in
tense itching of the lids. If the eyes
are rubbed to relieve the itching the
lids are liable to become swollen.
There is sticky, stringy secretion
OF mucus from the lids.
The fine powder applied with a
powder puff gets into the eyes,
especially rice powder. The rice
powder produces sort of mucilage
when moistened with the tears. the
woody rice cells swell, and their
angular corners cause irritation of
the delicate lining of the lids. Rub
bing obviously aggravates the con-
dition by adding insult to injury.
The trouble is quickly relieved by
flushing the eyes with normal salt
solution tteaspoonful table salt dis
solved in pint of boiled, still warm
water). Allow the solution to run
over eyeballs and in the sac of the
lids quite freely, to wash away the

the show. 1t is full Of days which
are too cold for comfort, but not cold
enough to permit the burning Of S6
coal with anything like pleasure.
The American autumn is like the
English summer-only comfortable
in spots But the English summer
is the only English season which is
comfortable at all. This explains
why the United States has gained
95,00O,000 people from England and
vicinity in the last 100 years.

Making country life attractive to
girls is the latest popular movement
begun by the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington. 1t is encour-
aged by State and County school
superintendents, who realize the i'm
portance of keeping young people on
the farm.
In October, 1914, Congress voted a
special appropriation Of $4,000 a
year to be given to each state, this
sum to be expended in organizing
clubs among women to create COM
munity spirit to study ways of earn
ing money by sale of farm products.
In fact, Uncle Sam has decided to
educate his country nieces and
nephews.
Over 250,000 boys and girls belong
to organized canning clubs. The
United Farm Women is an important
organization that bids fair to become
an important political factor in these
United States. One of the objects of
this organization is to build good
roads and The Lincoln Highway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific is
one step already accomplished.

well known throughout the West.
Formerly Dean Of Women at tho
Northwestern University and a men,

of Chicago faculties, her teaching ex-
periences in many states, in East and

Inatrenchovitch, October 21--
Dear Offagin-I am in mourning.
recently had an ultimatum to ex-
pire on my hands. | sent 1t to Bull
garia, and while there it died. APP
parently its death was caused by
neglect. Nobody paid any atten-
tion to 1t. 1t just pined away and
died of inconsistencies. Did you
ever have an ultimatum that ycu
had raisei rom a pup, until you
had gro,s- attached to it, go away
among total strangers and expire?
1t was one of the finest little ulti-
matums ever had about the place.
But 1t has taught me something
this tragedy. I'll never have an
other one around me. One be-
comes attached to little things like
that, and then they up and croak.
Yours dejectedly,

wears her last years suit ITO save

her. To which she blandly replies:
"But one has to have clothes!" Yes.
She has clothes. She's obeyed that
dictum Of convention 70 the letter.
But wearing them S another
matter, and matte, ghich she
should consider pretty seriously.
Does she wish to win for herself
the opinion that "She's not used to
clothes? For the world is quick
to ia ones own valuation; if we
consider ourselves worthy of the
best in life, others will consider us
so. There are kings, and there are
tramps. And a king would not ex-
pect the respect Of his subjects il
he we're to go about looking like a
tramp. Let the woman who wears
her old, worn clothes. TO save" her
good clothes, ask herself If her self
respect is Of the king order or Of the
tramp order. She's shafing along.
