The Changing Ways Of
Medicine
--A-C -

The modern well educated physi-
clan eschews such noisome drugs as
vRlerian, assafoetida and iodoform,
regardless of their alleged psyehelogi-
cal value. The old time doctor
thought he couldn't get along without
e malodorous atmosphere. The old
time doctor was a 1erfd-faced gentle
nan with an awkward corporation
which was hard and always in his
way, bald or growing so, but framed
in q luxurious fringe of unsanitary
whiskers which We'd with his clothes
IN emitting strong Havana, carrying
in his right hand a spoon with a ham
die three feet long and his left, con-
.eeslsd behind his back, a pint bottle
e ssstgS A&G%%.IS~s@~
That picture, thank heaven, is now
obsolete. Today the doctors beard
is conspicuous by it's absence, except
ing in the movies and in quack book
lets. Badness rather tends to cut
down a mans practice. Youth is
holding the van in the march of medb
cine;
Doctors are growing human. There
r many households where the chill
dren actually welcome the doctors
visit and are his pals. They run to
meet him, instead of running to hide
when his caster oily cOuntenance
darkens the door. A lot easier 20 care
for such children; they have NO
.spasms, Of fear and are never threat
ened with a visit from the doctor
man" The doctors improve along
with their medicine. Such a simple
remedy as q good doctor would pre-
scribe for pneumonia, typhoid fever
or heart disease nowadays, would
have been enough to bring the blush
OF shame to the practitioner Of q gen.
GRAFTON ago. Worse yet, it doesn't
taste horrible.
There is the best Of reason for the
simplicity of modern treatment. When
q doctor knows what he is trying to
accomplish, he uses simple tools.
When he doesn't know, but just wish.
es to conceal his ignorance, he pre-
scribes some fearfully and wonderful
ly made concoction which no human
mind can hope to fathOm-and then
he defends himself by saying he is
after results. And all the nostrum
makers, medical crooks and incompe.
tents in the country applaud his meth,

you can ask any bank whether they
get them.

Iron And Red Blood

About a teaspoonful of iron is the
total quantity Of that much-exploited
element present in the entire mass
Of blood of a healthy adult Of average
height and weight. Why, then, all
this extravagant talk Of iron and red
blood? Iron is one Of the least i'm
pOrtant elements Of the blood. Such
iron as the,red blood ~corpuscles con-
tain is supplied, not from medicine,
but from natural foods, foods which
have not been denaturized in the
/ course Of preparation for the table.
The iron in wheat, for instance, ID
chiefly discarded with the screenings
in milling; the iron in the potato is
chiefly. discarded with the skins, in
those homes where the value Of potato
skins is not yet known.
When physicians administer iron as a
medicine, internally or by hypodermic
injection, they do not expect the iron
to be taken up by the red corpuscles.
They are fully aware that the blood
iron must be derived from the natural
iron of food, not from medicine. The
medicine is given for the purpose OF
stimulating certain structures which
are concerned in the production Of red
corpuscles, such as the marrow Of
long bones, the lymph nodes or
glands" the spleen. Also. at times,
to act upon certain underlying condi-
tons which are known to account for
the blood weakness.
Now, it would certainly be fine if an
anemic person. one with weak or
"watery" blood, could simply swallow
some iron-containing medicine two or
three times a day to restore strength
to the blood. But 1t isn't done. Oh.
yes, the medicine Is swallowed reIi-
giously. There are plenty of philan-
thropic gentlemen, with a surplus Of
iron to sell, who see to that. But the
blood fails to grow strong.
Green fresh garden truck, fresh
whole fruits, and undenaturized ce-
reals such as whole wheat, unpelished
rice, oatmeal, crushed corn, and nuts
supply iron adequate for every posi-
BILE bodily need. xr-A-

PREVENT INJURY BY INSECTS
Angoumois Grain Meth and WeevtI 20
Much Harm Each Year--Pr9Vent
Loss by c!eaninf. --

Each year there is '@rge annual
loss of stored wheat due to the work
Of grain-infesting insects, chiefly the
ang6Tmois grain moth and grain
iWee7iis'
In the ordinary farm grain bin q
great deal of injury by these insects
can be prevented by carefully clean
ing the bin before the new grain is
placed in it. Sweep out all refuse
grain from cracks and crevices In the
floor and sides of the bin. Then spray
with kerosene emulsion, using one part
OF the stock solution to about five
parts of water. Be sure to drive the
spray material into the cracks and
creVices where the insects or their eggs
might be hidden. Allow the bin tC
dry for a week or longer before plac
ing the grain in it.
Kerosene emulsion is prepared as
follows: Shave up and dissolve one
half pound of common laundry soap In
one gallon Of boiling water. Remove
this water from the fire and add two
gallons Of kerosene Oil. Mix the
whole thoroughly either with a hand
pump Or by pouring from pail to pal
several times. When properly made
the mixture is a creamy mass from
which the kerosene will not separate
This is the stock solution, which
should be diluted as previously di
irected.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

]. B. L.-What remedies and home
treatment do you recommend for ma
laria, and is quinine necessary?
Answer-Quinine destroys the Paryns
Of malaria. Five grains a day from Nav
nrst to frost will prevent or cure ma
Iaria. Protection from mosquitoes is a
preventive of the disease.
E. E. V.-Would you advise a travel

phoid fever, and would lit then be safe
for him to drink water at the country
hotels at Winch he has to stop?

which gives certain immunity for three
years. This would protect from the +v-
phold oacc1h in water but not from 9th

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Halt,
italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetentno
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
lions with which we r sharing sugar.
Each Allied natiOn-in the matter OF
sugar consumptiOn-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
IA now a wal time essential. The fair
and Just division of this essential Is
In the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration OF W
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is n Of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether In
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and a
half and in Italy it is n pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to a hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
~one-seventh of an n of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
if they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625,O0O acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. By 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with a
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar, To buy it, n must first
find it N
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
" controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
Estate Sugar." which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
a great surplus Of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent In the
Allied nations, according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents a pound; France,
II cents Italy, 26 cents.
While these hign prices + being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at IN cents.
