Country.W Wide Constipation.
A Washington physician last sum-
mer presented a brief monograph on
constipation before the Section on
Castro nterology and Proctology, Il
you know what all that means, at tine
annual session Of the American Med
ical association in New York, He re-
marked that excessive secretion OF n.y.
drochloric acid in the stomach and
ptosis or sagging of portions of the
intestine were important 'causative
factors. Don't let your patients
think that their chronic constipation
is thing Of serious import he ad-
yised. The doctor probably had left
sided constipation in mind. In fact,
he was discussing spastic constipa-
ton, and stagnation of food residue so
low down in the colon naturally does
not give rise to administration symp-
toms as right-sided constipation, or
stagnation in the cecum (near appen-
dix does.
A Syracuse doctor expressed the
opinion that there are three important
causes Of constipation, namely. care
lessness, ignorance ard laziness.
There was more truth than poetry in
that.
Then spake up another Syracuse
man, who nailed to the wall the idea
that constipation may be hereditary
just because 1t happens to run in
families. Some folks like to place the
blame of even failures in business or
neglect of religious duties on grandpa.
A Denver doctor here breezed in
and took exception to the statement
that insufficient food is cause of
constipation. He held that people
generally take more food than they
should, and that when the quantity Of
food is reduced their constipation as
a rule ceases.
A New Haven man, no longer able
to endure the atmosphere, now rose
to defend the family tree. He had a
mean, sarcastic way Of expressing

Take Him at His Word.

1t is claimed that a spy taken from
a Holland ship near New York has
confessed that he Is a naturalized
American citizen and that be was on
his way to the United States to es-
tablish connections between the Ger
man and American systems. Which
simply goes to prove that every nat
uralized American Ia not a good
American. This fellow should be ac-
cepted at his own word and taken
out and sent the route that all full
hedged spies should travel.

Remember the Tuscania.

Remember the Tuscania" is slo-
gan that will become as famous as
was that of Remember the Maine" in
connection with the sinking of the
American ship in Havana harbor, q
disaster that precipitatef the Spanish
American war.
From various cities come reports of
a rush to recruiting Offices of men
who had not heretofore thought of en-
listing for service. many of them
having reached the age which exempt
ed them from the draft. The first
question that most of the applicants
asked as they entered the recruiting
Office was, when can l get across"
The sinking of the Tuscania was
distressing, but it was perhaps the
shock that America needed to bring a
full awakening among all fit for doing
service against the Hun, the lot of
whom will become harder as the war
progresses. From now on men will
men will bite their lips and dig in.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Indican Indicates Auto. Int0xication

What does "indican" in the urine
signify, and what should be done to
overcome it? Is it always the result
OF an improper diet? 81. c. c.
Answer.-Indican in very small
quantity is normally present in the
urine OF persons on a mixed diet. II
present in excess. it indicates either
putrefactive decomposition of pro-
TENS OF animal origin in the intestine,
or an abscess somewhere in the body.
Best Method to Break the Habit.
Will you kindly suggest the best
method of breaking a person OF the
smoking habit? Is. H. j.
Answer.-If the person Is under the
age of II, would suggest a sound
thrashing for the parents or guard
ian who permitted the indulgence. I
