requesting the President to open ne

Japan for an agreement to reduce ma

the senate by Senator Borah (Rep)

opinion of congress that the United
States would make such a reduction

urge early action on the resolution by
the foreign relations committee.
Opposed by Secretary Dan;eie
When Senator Borah offered his res

1T would be blunder almost equal

"for the United States to enter into an
alliance with any two or three nations
either 60 suspend or curtail naval
building or for any other purpose. 1t
would certainly make for suspicion
among the other nations of the

Mr.. Daniels told the house naval
committee that a chain was only as
strong as its weakest hrk; that he
had recently returned rom trip to
Alaska and TO the Pacific. where we
have far-fiung interests, and / believe
that the United States should not be

Treatment of
FeUers
BY Brice Belden. M. d.

wv riEN patient has only a
M fever and no other physical
" sign seems apparent AZ the
time a difficult problem IL pre-
sented for eyerybody-the patient,
the family and the physician.
AS such a case proceeds. how
ever, close observation sooner or
later reveals its true nature Not
infrequently. however, IL must be
confessed, such a fever will shortly
disappear without leaving any In
dication OF its source. This is
case OF children.
One OF the most common causes
OF fever is influenza. The fever OF
this disease lasts from three TO five
days. II Il last longer complics-
tions should be looked for as ae-
couting for the proiongation.
Most feyers that last over five
days are typhoids. In typhoid fever
the Widei test OF the blood deter
mines the diagnosis. This test is
made by adding one part OF blood
serum from the suspected case to
ten parts OF a culture OF typhoid
bacilli. IL the patient has typhoid
a reaction occurs consisting OF
clumping together of the bacilli and
a cessation OF their movements.
Another way or settling the dag
nosis is by a. bacterial examination
OF a culture made from the blood.
Some feyers OF obscure origin will
be found TO depend upon septic con-
ditions in the mouth, such as pyrD-
rhea (Riggs' disease). careful
examination OF the teeth, including
x-ray study, may be necessary in
such cases before a positive decis-
ion can be made.
Malaria Is n common cause Of cb-
scure fever. Examinations "f The
blood will detect the malarial or-
ganism.
In feverish youag children We
should look first for errors - diet.
Intestinal parallels tworms) also
cause fever at ,imas in children
Sometimes a fever occurs due to
the excessive consumpti)n CT
starchy food. Nervous 'hildrcn may
have high fevers from apparently
no cause whatever. leaving as sud
denly as they appear. Castor ell
dissipates many OF the fevers Of
children, especially where intestinal
intoxication is present.
Tuberculosis should never be FOR
gotten as a common cause OF OBJ
scure fever in both adults and
children.
