there is no excuse for the miserable

Red Cross Foils Germans.

How the American Red Cross foiled
German propaganda in Italy and
changed the attitude Of the people of
that country from hostility to friend
illness for the United States is one of
the most important and interesting
achievements of this humanitarian
agency.
The Red Cross, Of course, does not
include the foiling of energy propa-
ganda in its aims directly. hat hap
pened in Italy came about as by
product of the regular Red Cross re-
lief work. German and Austrian spies
had spread reports throughout Italy.
at the time of the retreat Of the Ital-
ian army. that the United States was
Indifferent to the fate OF Italy.
But when the Red Cross arrived and
began feeding the hungry, ministering
to the sick, housing the homeless,
clothing the naked and otherwise re-
lieving distress. the Italian people got
an entirely new viewpoint and the
German propaganda was nipped in the
bud.
Now the people of Italy love the
United States and henceforth it does
not seem likely that German cunning
can devise any lies and so sugar coat
them as to induce the Italian people to
swallow them to the detriment of the
United States.
The Red Cross in relieving suffering
in Italy and other allied nations is
building future peace among nations
and creating for the United States a
good will which will work out for the
benefit of generations yet unborn.

TIE Neuritis Myth.
A graduate nurse who occasionally
suffers twinges Of soreness or ach-
ing in the muscles or her arms comes
complaining of "neuritis" - which
never lasts more than few days and
never interferes with work. The same
lady is developing metabolic arthritis.
with the usual nodes or engagements
of the small joints of the hands 1.-THE
affection sometimes called rheumatoid
arthritis and when unusually severe,
arthritis deformans). She calls the
occasional redness, swelling and pain
in the nodes "gout.'
A nerve specialist Of Chicago states
that, of the patients referred to him
for neuritis Of the arm in the past 10
years, only one in 10 really had neu-
ritis. approximately eight in each
10 really had disease of the shoulder
joint. Which goes to show that even
the popular doctors fall in with the
whims Of patients and compromise on
the diagnosis. The Chicago nerve
specialist doesn't put it that way. He
says it proves only that the physicians
failed to make careful examination
Of the patient.
Neuritis is a very painful affection.
It does not come and 60, nor does
i. clear up in a few days. 1t sticks
obstinately for weeks or months in
the same old place. The pain is not
Intermittent or grumbling: 1t is con-
slant, and associated with exquisite
tenderness along the course OF the
nerve which happens to be affected.
In time, be it weeks or months, the at
tack clears up, and recovery Is gener-
ally complete. There is no tendency
to recurrence
Arthritis Joint inflammation) is
much more common than neuritis. The
pain is intermittent, some days worse
than others, usually more annoying at
night, and sometimes worse when the
barometer rises. The pain in shoulder
arthritis is frequently most intense
not in the shoulder but one-third of
the way down the outside of the arm
hence the popular Misrepresentation
Of neuritis. Sometimes the pain tad-
iates up the neck and down the arm.
Along with the shoulder Joint tnflam-
nation there may be also <rthritis of
the upper spine in these cases with
pain felt down the arm.
Lots OF poor mortals are today try
ing all sorts of remedies for imagi-
nary neuritis just because they failed
to get proper examination when they
consulted the doctor.
