pon,t pronounced Il "e.tIs."

A New York writer takes physicians
TO task for their almost universal mis-
pronunciation of words ending in "itis"
BY giving the first 81" the long "e"
sound. He says this causes many ethep
persons to feel uncertain whether apz
pendicitis is pronounced with the two
final syllables "e-tis" or "i-tis," with
other words of the class-cOlitis, tonsi=
Tits and so on-in the same uncertain
ty. He says that according to the rules
Of English-Lat pronunciation usual
" followed In scientific terminology
whether from the Latin or the Greek)
By Hnglish-speaking scientists the
termination 'i-tis" Is correct, The
proper pronunciation Of appendicitis
therefore would be appendicitis,
which makes the 'itis' like the 1 in Ice
and not as in eel.
The writer says further: According
to Webster-''itis" Is correct and that
the pronunciation "e-tis," so often
eard, Is perhaps due to German In

for it, and further more this same
able-bodied Home Guard" and pros
pective fighter for Uncle Sam would
cut out rural delivery.
Be merciful, dear man, and let me
have my paper since I sell eggs to
pay for 1t.
Now, seriously, this delivery ques-
ton is a tough proposition, and has
two sides to it. l believe the men
that have charge of this matter, es-
pecially the grocery men, are sensi-
BILE, honest and patriotic citizens and
will do the best they can for the con-
sumner as we'll as for the government.
May I suggest thought for their
consideration?
Every merchant knows which of his
customers is unable to come or send
some member of the family for his

Make a list of such and get special
