Early Signs Of
TUBERCULOSIS.

It is well for every one of us to
know the first signs of what is com.
monty called consumption. The reason
is that the disease is durable if the
patient is given the proper treatment
early. Here is where eternal vigilance
is of the highest Importance. Watch
for the sign of tuberculosis, neighbor,
watch for the first and earliest evil
dence.
The earliest sign or symptom of the
presence of that dread disease is an
increase in the heart action which can
be found by any person who takes
the pulse. This sign or increase of the
pulse rate is observed when the effect
ed person is up and about. That is
what is known as a probable symptom
or sign, it should arouse the suspicion
of the presence of the disease. It
should cause increased watchfulness
for other and confrmative or convinc-
ing evidence.
There are number of signs that
any person can discover which are only
presumptive and must be taken only
as such. The positive signs can be
found in the early stages of the dis
order by the physician, because he
alone is technically trained for tina
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1916-02-19

exacting procedure. The presumptive
signs will suggest that the physician
be consulted with view to ascertain
ing if the suspicious of the observer
are correct, and to have the doctor di-
rect the proper treatment.
The next most important sign is a
constant increase of afternoon tenn
perature. The mere mention of the
two most important signs suggest the
Importance of a knowledge of the read
ing of the bodily state by the use of
the clinical thermometer and the taking
of the pulse rate. There is a need for
every person to know how to do those
very necessary functions; but it is sur
prising how few of the people there
are who have learned to even take the
pulse. There is an excuse for not
learning the use of the thermometer be-
cause it has to be bought but the pulse
like the poor you always have with
you.
The fat person can have the disease
and not know the fact as well as the
lean person can. For that reason, we
are compelled to admit that early
tuberculosis is no respecter of persons.
There does not necessarily have to
be a history of family faint. There
may or may not have been tuberculosis
in the family.
Moral: Learn to take the pulse and
to use the clinical thermometer.

Eating ard Fighting.

1t is not crcditable to a thinking peo-
pie that the two things they most thank
God for should be eating and fighting.
We say grace when we are going to
cut up lamb and chicken, and when We
have stuffed ourselves to an extent that
an orang outang would be ashamed of
we offer up our best praises to the
Creator for having blown and sabered
his images" our fellow creatures, to
atoms and drenched them in blood and
dirt.-Leigh Hunt

The Liberty Bows.

The name of Liberty Boys Is the
name by which the Sons of Liberty Of
the American Revolution were famil-
iarly known. They were the men who
fought the first battles Of the colo
nists, who opposed the stamp act and
participated in the Boston tea party.
A flag hoisted upon the Flagstaff that
stood beside Liberty tree. in Hanover
square, Boston. was the signal at
which they assembled.

Curious Manx Custom.

On July 3 every year all the officials
of the Isle of Man. including the cler-
gy in their SUPPLIES, walk to the top
of Tynwald hill. and from the top Of it
the laws made during the year are
promulgated in Manx and English.
This PRONUNCIATION of the laws on Ty9-
valid hill is as necessary as the royal
assent to the validity Of all laws pass
ed by the Manx legislature. This is
one Of the many relics which the old
Norsemen left behind, and it dates so
far back that its origin is lost in the
1nists of antiquity. - Liverpool Mer-

Sharpening a Pocketknife,

Cutters have certain rules for sharp
ening razors, pocketknives, etc. "a
razor" said one of the craft quoted
by the Scientific American, must be
laid fiat on the hone. because 1t is hol-
low ground and requires a fine edge.
But a pocketknife requires a stiff edge,
and the moment you lay it fat on a
stone, so as to touch the polished side,
you injure the edge. 1t must be held
at an angle of twenty to twenty-five
degrees and have an edge similar to a
chisel."

Worms Used In Medicine.

Cyprus was an extremely popular re
