YARICOSE VEINS.


Variocose means enlarged and
tortuous. Varicose veins appear II
many places, but most frequently in
The legs and thighs, in the groin and
sac (called In this situation varico-
ceIe). about the orif1ce OF the bowel
(called piles or hemorrhoids), on
the abdomen and on the backs OF
the hands.
Once established, varicosities are
as incurable as gray hair or wrink-
led skin or scars No matter what the
situation of the Varicosity may De,
It cannot be cured.s Something Is
lost which the genius of man can
never restore to the dilated vein
wall.
But variocose veins do not neces-
sarily cause any trouble whatever,
in any situation. And one who has
them may with care avoid auy ser
ious trouble from them. Take hem
orrhoids, for instance Careful per-
sonal hygiene will usually prevent
attacks Of piles" that is, will pre-
vent periodic Inflammation of the
piles. Between attacks" the vari-
cosities need give no discomfort
Varicocele has been exploited
from time immemoriaI by char
latans. Yet varicocele practically
never causes any trouble whatever,
aside from little discomfort in
war weather. Varfcolele has been
found among young soldiers about
as frequently as varicose veins in
people generally; it has not made
the soldier any less efficient.
The causes of varicose veins have
been discussed in anothe- talk.
Briefly, the chief factor is faulty
physical education, faulty porture,
and all the physical weakLe sses
that necessarily accompany neglect
of this side Of human education.
If Varicose veins in any situation
whatever become a source of con-
slant annoyance, as from uIcera-
ton, or source of danger from
bleeding, danger to health rather
than life, it is wrong to submit to
permanent physical handicap, to in
efficiency, for such a trivial cause.
Have them removed by the surgeon.
That is the way to get rid of them.
1t doesn't cure the varicosities; it
takes them way. They are of no use
any how.

Brad'S O. Verse
RETIREMENT.

Men groan at work, and curse the
fate that dooms to toll and sweat;
but truly. work is good and great,
the one best tonic yet. Old Waxon
toiled full many a year and saved
q goodly pile, then threw away his
working gear to live in ease and
style. I've done enough of this
worlds work, and now l mean to
rest; no more of shaving like a
Turk-me for Dame Pleasures
quest" Today 1 met him on the
street, his face was wan and sad;
he had the govt in both his feet and
he was feeling bad; retirement had
not brought to him the peace for
which he sighed; his soul was
vexed by troubles grim, his pa
thence sorely tried. And now he's
trying to come back; he's lost the
wild desire to quit the job, to fly
the track, to idle and retire. 1t
makes him grouchy, grumpy, sore;
his life's dreary blank; to all his
friends he is q bore, a surly, sordid
crank. That men should loaf
through shining years by nature
ne'er was meant; and oft retire
ment bringeth tears and grief and
discomfort.

WiIson Set Right.

Americans and their president are far less
popular in England and France than at the
time hostilities closed. The English and French
have a human desire for revenge for the
wrongs they have suffered and as peace nego-
tiations progressed and it became necessary
for America, in the interests of justice and to
obyiate causes OF future wars, to put curb
on their demands popular feeling against this
country naturally resulted.

Elation swept the ranks of local oil investors yesterday, as the result Of a public test of slush brought up from the bottom of the well of the United States Oil and Refining com pany near Bowie, which revealed the unmistakable presence of oil.
 As the stockholders and directors of the United States company are nearly all Bisbee men, the result of the test made yesterday is consid- cred the most encouraging and most important to date on the local oil ex- changes.
 The test was made at 10 o'clock yesterday morning by l.. R. Caulfield, before a number of interested stock holders, directors and others in the offices of L. J. Overlook. The carbon tetrachloride test was used. MT Caulfield digested the pulp in carbon tetrach.oride, Altering off the result ant liquid, which, when exposed to the atmosphere, evaporated the vola tile element, leaving the only con stituent of the pulp treated. A resi- due of oil easily discernible to the witnesses was left.
