Every Dollar, is Helper.

Keep on giving to the Red Cross. 1t

Perhaps you have noted the compli-
mentary things soldiers passing Rock
Island have said about the local chap
ter of the Red Cross. Every troop
train that goes through, when the Red
Cross knows ii, has a visitation from
delegation from the local chapter,
with favors Of candy and smokes. It's
nice custom. one that the boys ap-
preciate and one that does not cost
very much in the doing So every dol
lar that you contribute to the. Red
Cross is doing good. 1t is buying ma
terials with which to make bandages
for the wounded and yarns with
which to make sweaters for the boys
in the cantonments and on the other
side. 1t is helping to maintain de-
pendents here at home. 1t is doing
world of activities, all directly or
indirectly connected with the war
The Red Cross is great aid in help
ing to win in the war through the
encouragement and helpfulness thai,
it offers to your boy and your neigh
boris boy, to whom, with their COM
rades, We must look to make the
world safe for democracy.

Edward r. Stettinius has been an
pointed surveyor general of purchases
for the United States army. He is a
member Of the firm Of j. p. Morgan &,
Co. and was chosen by Secretary
Baker. He fills new office and will
perform some Of the functions of a d.
rector or munitions proposed by the
senate committee on military affairs.
Mr.. Stettinius is known to be fully
competent to fill the post. but we may
expect to see him attacked by the pol
iiicians who are seeking to embarrass
the administration from every possible
angle. The fact that he is associated
with Morgan is enough to open the
way to the critics II they are still un-
satisfied with the war department ar
rangements as perfected by Mr.. Baker

Strange Effect Of U1c Acid.
l am troubled with uric acid poison
ing and acid stomach. My rings and
neck-chain turn black in contact with
my skin. and have a rash on my
hands. My physician advises me to
eat no red meats, no acid fruits. no
eggs and to take cream Of tartar and
salts. Kindly give me your opinion.
ON. E. IT,
Answer-Our opinion is that your
physician ought to invest in q few
modern medical textbooks and perhaps
subscribe to a few medical journals,
The rash on your hands we can't ex-
plain without seeing the rash. But
the blackening of the jewelry has
nothing to do with uric acid, nor has
red meat more than any other shade
of meat, and acid fruits render the
blood rather more alkaline, and the
urine less acid, and tartar and salts
produce but one effect-catharsis and
diuresis Increased secretion of urine).
The uric acid myth passed out several
years ago.

Mistaken Notions About the X.Ray
A very frequent inquiry coming to
this department of distress runs some
thing like this:
Il have been troubled for quite a
while with stomach and bowel trou-
BILE. l have tried numerous remedies
| recommended by friends without sue
cess. Would you advise me to have an
X-ray picture taken? Please tell me
| where to have it DONE"
An X-ray picture is often a great
aid in arriving at diagnosis. But
the picture itself practically never
makes the diagnosis. And the opinion
Of the technician who makes the pic
ture is seldom of any diagnostic
value; his service is to make the pic
ture and then make an expert inter-
probation of the vague lights and shad-
ows that show on the plate. A good
X-ray technician generally has little
diaghostic skill.
An A-ray picture is Of no value un-
less interpreted by the man who made
it, and considered in conjunction with
the information obtained by the pa
tents physician through ordinary
clinical observation and examination.
Some of our correspondents even
mail in X-ray films, and ask US to
advise treatment We wish we might
help these readers, but a picture is
about as useless as diagnois- blank
in arriving at an honest diagnosis.
The expert who makes the pictures
must interpret them for the expert
who knows the history and character
OF the patients trouble. You can't
get away from the old family doctor,
even with the best Of pictures.
The X-ray is like specialism in that
respect People who imagine a spe-
cialist is more skilful or a better
trained man than an ordinary doctor
deceive themselves. A specialist must
work with and through the patients
ordinary family medical attendant, in
order to accomplish good results.
The X-ray is of no value at all in
the diagnosis of the majority of dis
eases. There are all kinds of ailments
which make no impression whatever
on the plate.
On the other hand, there are thou
sands of unhappy adventures who
have jumped into an X-ray picture
and learned that the stomach or kid
nep or something isn't just where they
supposed it should be. and become
miserable worrying over a fancied
displacement-just because the X-ray
technician happened to be a little
short on anatomy or physiology.
No, don't have an X-ray picture
made unless your doctor feels that it
is necessary.

What most Americans

What most Americans admire
in Secretary Baker is his re-
fusal to be disturbed by the naggers
that are trailing at his heels these
days In an effort to convince the ma
ton that he is not heavy enough for
his job. The secretary accepts all of
the buffeting as part of the grief that
goes with the place and does the best
he can in giving the information that
is sought OF him, with full explana-
lions Of his every act, and at the same
time seems able TO keep even with the
regular work of his department The
politicians who are annoying MIR.

Thrift and Conservation.

| Last year at this time the great CRY
was conservation. This year it is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the government to conserve
the natural resources and the prod
ucts of the farms and fields and fac
tories. Greater crops were urged. and
canning clubs and city gardens were
the order Of the day. This year the
nation is being taught the lesson OF
spend ns its money wisely. The ma
ton is being shown the Importance
of putting every cent where it will dc
the most good
+ Conservation and thrift 90 hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer is be-
ing told this year to be thrifty does
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper. 1t means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he is able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find
something for which to spend almost
every dollar he gets. There always
is machinery to be bought or repaired,
notes to be met, fertilizer to be pur-
chased. harness. lubricating Oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so we'll paid for
their produce that they are now ION
their feet" or more nearly so than
ever before.
This country has been good to them,
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the federal loan bu-
reau with cheap money with which to
pursue the arts Of peace. Any econ
omies they can practice at this time
will give them additional money with
which to lend financial aid to the gov
eminent in it's great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the govern
ment is practical protest against
the plans Of greedy, INSCRIPTIONS,
sOulless power intent on world con-
quest, and every dollar thus advanced
serves to shorten the period of war
and bring nearer the day of universal
and durable peace.

An eminent writer recently told in
an article in Colliers's that had it not
been for political interference last
summer the French would have driven
the Germans out OF that country. The
enemy was on the run when the
French politicians became active,
halted the aggressive program that
was in full swing. and afforded the
Germans the advantage that they
needed to stem the tide. This ought
to be a waning to the United States
government not to permit the politi-
clan to 60 too far in agitations that
are now under way In Washington.
