POPULAR MEDICINE

Intelligent Observation of Rules
of Hygiene Will De-
crease Illness.
BY DIR. l.. X. HIRSHBERG.

III you have jerks, twists, jumps,
fits and spasms of your face, are you
willing to exchange them for a par
tial or temporary paralysis? If so,
go to your family physician and ask
him to use the new method of inject
ing alcohol into the facial nerve at
the angle OF your jaw.
DR.. George NJ. Dorrance, of Phi1a-
delphia, has pa: this plan into prac-
teal use, and it has relieved a num-
Der of thosS who were too bashful
and too timid to go about with their
faces jerking and twitching in an en-
barrassing fashion.
Method of Treatment.
Spasms of the face muscles are
seldom, if ever, the natural move
ments of the muscles. Usually they
are the result of habits, imitation. in
heritance, accident or disease. Many
of these twists. jerks and odd mo-
tions are repeated over and over again
and are painful as well as incapaci-
tating. The victim is prevented from
the accomplishment of his best work.
and he becomes a Iaborer less and less
worthy of his hire.
DR.. Dorance performed some of his
experimental work at the Wister In
stitute, where he devised his. new
method, whereby the jugular vein or
any other vital spot is not endangered.
About half a teaspoonful Of alcohol
is injected into the facial nerve at the
angle OF the jaw. II the nerve is hit
no blood flows and there is immediate
facial paralysis on the affected size.
AS a rule there will be some pain. hut
this can be quickly relieved by hoi
congresses.
The eye, of course. must be careful
ly looked after, because the lid will
not close entirely. Applications of
boric acid water three times a day
and wearing goggles will serve to
protect this organ. Massage OF the
eyelids and eye muscles as well as
frequent rolling of the eyebal from
side TO side also helps to correct this
mOmentary trouble. Winking may
not occur for months Electricity used
on the side of the face, while not ad-
vised by DIR. Dorrance, will hasten l
restoration and may bring back vol
Untary motion, without a return of
the spasms.

WILLING TO LOSE MONEY
NEW YORK, Dec

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.
Sentiment may hold the International
League together for the season of 1918.
Baseball does not want to see the old
minor league quit in time of stress.
Pressure has been brought to bear on
several leading elements and the ex-
pectation here just before the magnatcs
went into session was that the league
would be held together
C. r. Chaplin, president of the Roches-
ter Club, a game loser for several years.
is ready. to lose some more. he an.
nounced The same spirit is evident else
where.
All clubs were represented with the
exception of Baltimore and Toronto at
the meeting today. Talk of a third
league to combine cities of the American
Association and the International
League has died out. Only one or two
of the International Club owners would
have anything to say on this subject,
and they were Of the opinion that such
a move in wartime would only stir up
more trouble.
More trouble loomed ahead today as
National Leaguers prepared for their
annual gab-fest President John X. Ten
er and Garry Hermann are reaching a
swords point state in their relations as
a result of Herrmann's insistence upon a
joint meeting of National and American
League magnates regardless of President
Tener's feelings in the matter. There
were rumors that Tener might not agree
to the selection of Hermann again as
chairman of the National Commission.
and there were hints that Hermann
might insist on n cut in Tener's salary
as one of the first of wartime economies.
Branch Hickey, president OF the Car
dinals. was one of the first National
League magnates to show up. He is said
to have arrived for a conference with
Jack Hendricks. manager of the Indian
apolis American Association Club. An
agreement has been reached. it was de-
clared, which will allow Hendricks's
transfer TO the Cardinals as manager of
that club.

ward positions will be taken care of by
Rhodes. who led the team In scoring last

War Golf
In our SECTION" remarked the Briton
VINO nad served two years on the west
ein front. we found II possible to lay
out nine holes back of the lines.
There were no extensively long holea.
but most of them were interesting. AS
we were unable to keep greens in shape,
we merely dug hole for the cup where
IL was possible to chip the ball in with
mashie or midiron.
but conditions were quite different
from the old days. The course was in
smell range, and very frequently after
round we returned next day TO find a
new course with new traps and new
bunkers thoughtfully provided us by Hun
shells overnight. Where a certain hole
one DAY was only fairly well trapped,
nV the next dav 1t would require the
keenest sort of accuracy, with six or
eight big shell holes to the right and left
along the fairway or guarding the flag.
Even More So
This isn't the worst Of IL. There were
times when hole would be freshly or
newly trapped and bunkered while we
were playing it, A man might step To
the tee. and while he was addressing his
bail would hear an explosion and sud-
denly find that he had big shell crater
TO carry some 10 yards away-a crater
that hadn't been in existence before he
reached the tee.
The New "Fore"
"The word fore in this war golf also
means something different" he con.
tinued. when a man shouts. Fore y
over there Is means that a shell Is com.
Ing. and we lose no time ducking into
some shell hole or seeking other shelter
until the immediate danger is over
Whereupon we resume play and con-
tinue along our way. The true golfer
isn't to be stopped or have his play
ended by any such small detail as shell
hre. There are times, of course, when
1t gets on ones nerves in putting. When
you are expecting big shell to land in
your neighborhood any second, there is
an added strain upon putting or upon
playing snort chip shots not ordinarily
known in the game we played before the
war But for all that the game is an
interesting one. is highly divertng and
