WE REGRET to say that goitre opera
w tions in some cities have degenerated
into veritable fad.
If we had an exophthalmic goitre we
would not accept as final the opinion of
an operating surgeon as to the advisa-
bility of surgical treatment. We should
desire the opinion of our attending physi-
clan, after he had observed the progress
of the case at least few weeks and
treatment. In fact, the family Doctors
advice would take first place, the sur
geons second place, in our decision.
There seems to be an impression among
a certain group of surgeons that endemic
or eXophthalmic goitre won't get well
unless n portion of the diseased thyroid
gland Is eXtirpIted. If this were correct,
the surgeons decision to operate would
be entirely justifiable. But this happens
to be incorrect. Fully one-thrd of the
cases of eXophthalmic goitre seen in
private practice do ultimately progress to
complete recovery after a period of years.
If all patients could avail themselves of
the physiological rest which is so helpful
in the treatment of most cases of eX-
ophthalmic goitre, there would be but
rare need of operation.
Medical treatment should be continued
from to "a months.
Surgical treatment frequently leaves
the patient in an exhausted state lex
haustion caused by the disease, not by
the operation), which requires many
months OF careful medical treatment after
the operation in order to restore fairly
good health.
OF course there are exceptional cases OF
very severe eXophthalmic goitre in which
operation must be considered as a life
saving measure.
Nevertheless, too many surgeons are
doing too many goitre operations, and
too many patients are apparently anxious
to submit to this fad. 1t appears to have
taken the place of the rormer appendicitis
fad Nowadays, good surgeons do not
insist upon an operation in every case of
appendicitis.

WOMAN PROFESSIONAL TALKS
ON AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY
Miss Laura Reeves
Says Bank Account
and Friends Needed
for Success

"TTNHERE are two very important
i requisites for the amateur photog-
rapher who would be a professional" re-
marked Miss Laura Reeve, one of our
best-known women in this sort Of work,
"and those two things are a good bank
account to start on and plenty of friends
preferably the kind of friends who want
to have pictures taken"
Knowing how interesting this special art
has proved to many a camera flend who
spends hours in developing, printing and
posing subjects just for pleasure, the pos
sibiity of turning these into a lucrative
business naturally presented itself to the
mind of the writer. 1t was in answer to
a question on the opportunities which are
open to women photographers. and In re-
sponse to the many inquiries on the sub
ject which have been sent to the EVENING

What would you suggest as the best
way for woman to learn the professional

WILLIE TREE TOAD AND THE
FLY
Willie Tree Toad swung himself
down from the cherry tree unto the
window sill of the farmhouse in the
hope of catching a fly. He sat there
for long time, knowing that if he
could only get a great big fly for his
breakfast, it would be worth waiting
for. AS he sat there, half awake and
half asleep, he saw something crawl
ing up the window.
"Ah" he said to himself. "Here
is my chance"
He looked again and as he did so he
caught sight of Mr.. Fly looking at
him and Willie opened his eyes wide
and said to himself, "How dare that
impudent fellow look at me in that
way?"
Willie crawled up nearer and,
nearer,
"Look out!" came a squeaky voice.
"Look out for what?" asked Willie.
"You will bump your nose," re-
piled the voice.
"Never mind about my nose,"
answered Willie, as he gave a spring.
"Ouch! OUCHW he cried.
~ told you so," came the voice
again.
"Why didn't you tell me you were
on the other side of the window
pane?" asked Willie of Mr.. Fly.
"You wanted to eat me up and
was kind enough to tell you to look
out and now you scold me. Better
look before you hop next time" said
Mr.. Fly, with smile, as he flew

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Dentist Ought to Know

My dentist laughs at the emetine treat
ment and tells me pyorrhoea is not due
to amebas. but to streptococci. He ad-
vises scaling, vaceines and local use of
an iodine-zinc-iodide-gly solution
every day or two.
Answer-In your case. the dentist ought
to know best. If he found streptococci,
and not amebas. under the microscope, he
is competent TO back up his version. AS
for scaling, that is practiced by most
dentists, and it is usually necessary. The
emetine treatment does not mean neglect
of the mouth; on the contrary, the dentist
should cooperate with the doctor in the
treatment.
Ventilator Flues
Do you approve of ventilators near the
floor, carrying the air out into tiue
which conveys it between the partitions to
a ventilator on the roof?
Answer-Yes but since expired air is
warmer than any other air in the room

 It has transpired that it was Secre- ary Lansing's express orders that the lgel papers be returned to Berns- torff who claimed that they were embassy documents and that Igel was an embassy employee and as such free from prosecution. Berns- torff is supported by every principle and accepted procedure of interna- tional law in these claims, alleges Lansing.
