Locomotor Ataxia.

Locom0t0r Ataxia.
The average age of patients at
the onset OF locomotor ataxia is
81 years.
The disease continues on an aver
age about 20 years. Therefore~the
tabetic individual (tabes is another
name for locomotor ataxia) has a
life expectancy at least tWo-thirds
that of the normal individual, and
is not doomed to an early end as
populariy supposed; nor is he
doomed to helpIessness. 1t must
be remembered that the nerve
(spinaD tracts involved in this dis
ease constitute only part of the
! conducting tracts or routes, and
even though the affected tracts be
completely destroyed it is always
possible for the patient, with scien-
ttfic help. to educate other tracts
or routes to take up the carrying
OF communications and thereby
retain very good control of his
functions.
An individual who is half educat-
ed-haS but one hand or arm train
ed for fine work such as writing
can generally train the other hand
or arm to do the work if the edu-
Gated hand or arm be lost. An
education which trains but one
hand or arm is an incomplete edu-
cation, founded ON ancient one
handed ideas. Every child should
be trained to use either hand for
fine work. It would be strange in
deed that the good Lord gave us
two hands, yet intended that we
develop but one for skill. We make
use Of both feet, both ears, both
eyes, and several other organs or
appendages of which We have two.
What have the schoo1ma ans
against two-handed people?
Frenkel was the first to make
practical application of muscle
education in the treatment of loco
motor ataxia- Forster, one of his
disciples, and Goldscheider, another
great advocate of the method,
taught the Importance of direction,
extent and rhythm in the perfec-
ton of movement. In this coun-
try DR.. W. J. NJ. A. Maloney, OF
New York, and his assistants and
co-workers have demonstrated that

Oft in the Silly woods


The woods are growing full and still,
wrote one Tom Moore in days gone by.
And now there seem to be some folks who
would change the old line to this:
THE woods are growing full Of stills"
Anyway, an innocent little item crept into
Peoria paper short time ago telling how a
couple of Lewistown men had invented a kind
OF still that would distill liquors in a wonder
full fashion.
Now, for reasons that need not be men
toned, there are some people who have cray
ing for certain Hquids-and this craving is
hard to satisfy.
And when the item came out telling how
these Lewistown men had fixed up some cop
per pipe or whatever it is they were alleged
to have found for their still business, letters
began to pour in-and some Of them from
Peoria.
Here is a part of one OF the letters just as
it has been forwarded from LewiStown:
Now if you are established would like
to hear from you and If you sell them pre-
sumo have a way of giving instructions how
to operate your invention for the different
grades of spirits. Please let me know what
You have done so far in regards to this and
how you intend to do your shipping-express
or freight-and give me correct price for one.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My home
is in the country, but ! cannot call
myself a country girl, for l was
reared in the city and am now
working in the city. Our family
likes farming and we are happy to
make our home where we can
have our own garden vegetables,
fresh eggs, butter and milk.
Loneliness is my problem. When
/ was going to high school l had
plenty of friends and became en-
gagged to one young man. We broke
of though. Probably it was for
the best, because we were both so
young. l still had friends and cared
deeply for two or three of them,
but we drifted apart.
The average man does not ap-
peal to me. Probably l am old
fashioned in my ideas. l like clean
minded, natural men and women.
Nowadays the way to a man s
heart seems to be through a paint
ed face and low necked georgette
waist l would rather be unmar-
ried all my life than to compro-
mise myself in that cheap way.
My girl friends say am too re-
served. / realize that / am shy,
but 1 can't help it. When l finally
become we'll acquainted / have no
trouble keeping friends. They say
that am sympathetic and they can
tell me anything. knowing it will
never be repeated.
If could only correspond with
some fine young man 1 think he
would learn to like me. But that
is hopeless because l do not know
any one out of town or in town
who cares about writing to me. AS
grow older I find it more and
more difficult to be friendly to a
man the first time we meet.
The program of my life seems to
be long ride to work in the morn
ing, a busy day. a long ride home,
an evening reading and talking TO
my parents and a long nights restN
l don't know just why l am writ

rad'sBit O. Verse
DO TT NOW.

You tell me of a golden time
when you intend to go upon way
with good deeds lined, to tighten
pain and woe. Some day you'll
speak the cheering word and reach
a helpful hand; you'll cut out
every habit mean, and strive To
beat the band. You say that you
are storing up glad actions by the
pile and that you mean to pass
them out in some sweet afterwhile.
The world shall hear from you
some day when you get on the
move. and you'll get busy by and
by your sterling worth to prove.
When you have rested long enough.
then you intend to climb and take
your place with those who toll
along the steps of time, you'll
scatter blessings by the peck and
I'LL the world with smiles, you'll
give a boost to those who halt
along the weary miles. But why
put of those shining deeds till you
are sere and old? This is the day
to do some good; now is the time
of gold. If you intend to carry
out the things you idly vow. why
not forget that future dope and 60
and do it now?

OPPOSITES,

Waldo Martin, successful bust
ness man and manufacturer, felic-
ifated himself with the belief that
he had mapped out & pleasant
retirement from trade activity and
tremendously adjusted his family
affairs in a masterful way. He had
sold his old home at Taunton, had
given a capitalist an option on his
plant, with the agreement that he
would remain in charge for a~year
until his affairs were smoothly
grooved under the new regimet
Then he had gone to his spinster
sister Emily and asked for her
counsel and cooperation.
Its the girls want TO talk to
you about, Emily he said. With
the old home gone they viii have

brother.
Your sanction or decliuation OF
their engagement to Edna and
Grace. fancy all around they are
very much in earnest. Mr.. Morton
is certainly deeply in love with
Edna and MIR. Blake will positively
be broken hearted il you forbid
his attentions to Grace"
Why" exclaimed Mr.. Martin.
things are all turned around. That
won't do at all! You know my ex-
pressed opinion"
Yes, brother" gently interrupt
ed Miss Martin, but you are all
wrong. Now listen to me and trust
in my Judgment. The preferences
Of the young men followed the die
tates OF sincere love and the result
has been strongly harmonious. As
to Edna, Mr.. Morton's sensible ser
iousness seems 20 have toned down
her natural exuberance to a most
desirable balance, while the VIOLA
tile, sparkling, effervescence in the
nature Of Roy Blake has led Grace
to realize the brighter side OF life
Trust me, Edna will be trans
formed into . rational leader OF So
ciety, while Grace will exert her
sympathetic impulses to some
practical USE"
"You know best" declared Mr..
Martin with gesture Of surYsn-
der, and later he was sure that
Edna and Grace knew best, as well.

Rock Island county mourns the death Of
William H. Whiteside He was a fair. square
and honest man and the fact that he was so
regarded is shown by his election for a second

pains to clear up the misunderstanding Of
those who came to him in the regular routine
OF Office business and before his last illness
came on he always was to be found at his post
Of duty. His passing marks the fifth vacancy

one that has made me say this TO
you.

LONESOME.
Your letter is very interesting.
There are many girls in the world
who are lonely; girls who would
make splendid wives and mothers,
but because of shyness and circum-
stances they do not have the OPP
portunity to become acquainted
with men.
l think a decided change would
do you good. Go out Of town for a
vacation. II you have no money
TO travel for two OF three weeks,
go to a lively resort nearby. Take
care to. Even If you do not make
a number OF friends, you will make
few If you do your part to be
friendly. The change of air and
scenery will be good for you.
You must try to conquer your
shyness. You can be pleasant and
genial without being bold. Prob
ably you do not take enough inter
est in out of door sports. Exer-
else produces health and vigor, and
vigor helps TO attract friends.
Possibly during your vacation
you will meet some one who would
like to correspond. l can see hoEZ
pleasant it would be for you if you
had the opportunity to write and
receive interesting letters.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: When q

right or left side should not be con-
