Club Notes.
Dear Doctor:


 My father, who Is TT years of age Is troubled with nunlbness and prick ling sensations in his hands, and has Also lost the use of his hands to a great extent. Lately he gets numb in his legs which become stiff and shaky when he walks. He sleeps well and has a good appetite and digestion.
 MISS V. s.
 AiNSWER:-The,s symptoms you de- scribe are considering your father age and otherwie good health, prob- ably due to hardening and gradual obitteration of the arteries known as Arterio-sclerosis. This condition which is common in the aged. lessens the blood supply of the nerves and consequently deprives them of their nutrition. They become unable to perform their functions and distur- bances of sensation and movemen are the result. He should eat very moderate quantities of easily digestet | foods. Constipation must be care ! fully guarded against. Plenty of pure

water must be taken, at least four to six pints a day, in order to aid the various eXcretory organs in getting rid of the waste matter of the body. The limbs should be systematically massaged locally, and he should take a day or two of complete rest in bed at short intervals in order to allow his heart to recuperate and force the blood through the narrowed vessels. Dear Doctor:
 I believe my health would be as good as it could be if 1t were not for the constipation which it seems am unable to over come. What do you think Of fasting as cure for constipation? Of course, don't allow myself to get clogged up, but in order to keep we'll have to use medicine or injections constantly. I, would thank you for some advice on the subject.
 ANSWER:-This is subject which has been so often discussed in these notes that many. no doubt are tired of it, but it is so common and responsible for so many other forms of sickness that its importance justi- fies frequent discussions of it. The proper treatment of it is through dietetic and hygenic regulation. Eat only easily digested and laxative arti- cles of food, such as the coarser breads and vegetables (whole wheat, graham or bran breads), turnips, chopped raw cabbage, etc. Meat or eggs are to be taken not oftener than once a day, the idea being to have the matter, which mechanically stimu- lates the intestinal movements Drink plenty of water, use fruits. butter and cream freely, practice the physical exercises described in Vol. 1 of the Home Health Club series, and also study carefully the articles Ten Minutes for HeAlth'' and "A Personal Matter" in the same book; also the one on Pure Blood and a Clear Skin" !n vol. 3.

 At the public hearing on the ferry commissioners bill it was clearly un- derstood that the commiss ion was to be of a non-rartisan nature, that is, not more than a majority of the com mission should be of the same po- litical party. Representative George Goss, at the hearing, was assured by Corporation Counsel Hankey that such was the intention and that it would be So inserted in the bill. As a matter of fact. the bill as printed and before the legislature for action, con- tains no such provision. It was with the understanding that the commits sion was to be non-partisan, that Representative Goss favored the meas ure before the committed. When the act does cor1e up for final action, it may be that Mr. Goss will mako effort 1 to have amendment made that will provide for just 8 littla bit of non 1 partisanship in the board of ferry l commissioners, as at present obtains 1 in the school board. the board of wa | ter and sewer commissioners and tle board of se:ectmen.
