Caring for Soldier Boy.

The Chicago Herald has been per-
forming a comforting service to the
parents and friends of the soldiers at
Camp Grant by running series Of
articles explaining how the men there
are cared for when they are taken
down by Illness.
II appears there were sent out alarm
ing stories about Camp Grant, where
hundreds of Chicago boys are en-
camped. Some OF the reports had il
that scores were in hospitals hover
ing between life and death and thai
the government had ordered suppress
sion of all announcements concerning
the victims. The Herald sent one Of
its writer's to the camp with instTuc-
tons to fnd out just exactly what was
going on there and if il were TRUE that
there were cases Of desperate sickness
wherein the relatives Of the patients
were denied knowledge of their con-
dition. The Herald Investigator was
--~omed into every department OF
mp and thorough explanation
him OF the details Of the con-
2 management OF the canton
- the stories abort I've sick were
iidiculed and assurance " was given
that there has been no attempt tC
cover the cases OF illness.
The Herald man was shown enough
to convince him that parents of The
boys at Camp Grant have no occasion
to worry that their sons are not beint
treated well and with every human
consideration by the officers. In fact
the writer claimed, nothing NOR
could be done for them in their owl
homes than is done for them az tn
camp in cases Of sickness. Presumabl,
the same attention is exercised at ev
cry other cantonment in the country
so that relatives should not permi

yarns that are set in circulation re

Chronic Rheumatism.

Chronic Rheumatism.
Liniments are as welcome to the
man with rheumatism, so called, as
the flowers in spring. But liniments
are SO mussy and noissome around the
house. Odors, after all. don't help
arthritis much. A solidified liniment
in cQllapsible tube is much more
cleauly and at least as efficient as a
horrible coneotion in q bottle Here
is the formula for one that gives much
satisfaction
Menthol. 5 grains; oil Of winter
green, 10 drops; lanolin, X ounce;
petrolatum, L ounce.
This should be dispensed in a col
lapsible tube Menthol irritates the
eyes, SO keep it out of your eyes. After
rubbing it in well, cover the part with
some oiled silk or wax paper and a
bandage.
Chronic rheumatism is a disease for
pessimists TO suffer, We mean by that
to imply that an optimist will get
busy before his rheumatism has gone
so far. and find out what is the matter.
An optimist is a person who, having
sacrificed nine apparently sound teeth
at the solicitation of dentist and doc
tor and X-ray man. is still willing to
contribute a pair of untroubled ton
sils, an appendix, a gallsac and any
other structures which the doctor
may have designs on, to the chance of
| getting the septic focus whence the
rheumatism comes. Optimists are rare.
Liniments and uric acid eliminators
/ are so common.
| Liniments. at any rate, have some
thing to do with rheumatism, whereas
uric acid eliminators have nothing
whatever to do with It.
Heat in various forms is g relief.
! Baking the affected joints in hot air
apparatus is the best way 10 apply
heat. Hot water baths, mud baths,
!! Turkish baths, or cabinet sweat baths
taken at home.
No medicine that We know of is
helpful for the many diseases mas
querading as rheumatism. Iodine ex-
ternaily and iodides internally some
! times seem to aid in the treatment oil
mild chronic arthritis, probably be-
cause iodine stimulates the ductless
gland functions which have much &c
do with fighting infection.

arriers in the right light before the

carriers in the right light before the
public.
There has grown such q prejudice
10 this country against the railroads,
as a result Of some of the shady stock
transa ctions Of a few Of their num-
Der, that when relief IL sought IN rate
increases hands are thrown in the
air and the shout of robbery is heard
over the land. Which probably is do
ing a great injustice to the railroads,
Because here and there railroad
management has been irregular the
whole lot should not be condemned.
But there has been feeling that the'
roads have been venturing too far
upon a tolerant public when they
asked that money be advanced by the
government to enable them to meet
excess charges that have been deyel-
oped In consequence Of abnormal war
conditions calling for higher wages
and increased cost of materials. the
argument being that the railways,
while doing a volume OF business
largely in excess of that year ago,
are actually losing money. There has
been an impression that the carriers
have been seeking to embrace what
looked like a golden opportunity TO
pick up a billion or ~ OF the cash
that the government has been throw
ing around with such a lavish hand
/ in its war preparations. AT any rate,
when il became apparent that the
president would not endorse the raul
roads borrowing program, they I'M
mediately withdrew this feature OF
their proposal, and are now willing
/ to get along as best they may with
their individual incomes. Neither are
( they insisting on repeal Of anti-pool-
l ing laws. 1t does look as il the presi-
dent had successfully called the rail
roads, bluff.
