of being one of the best regions for
general farming, fruit growing and
dairying that he has ever seen.
The lands are widely known for
their abundant growth of clover and
timothy which is usually cut twice
a year. The soil is well adapted to
the growth of all kinds of grain
corn, wheat, oats rye, flax and bar
ley, while potatoes and other root
crops are exceptionally profitable.
MIR. RamlO will be glad 10 tell any
one regarding the possibilities. of
Upper Wisconsin cutOyer lands. A
talk with him and trip TO Bayfield,
County, Wisconsin will convince you

reasonable price, is not past.

RAMIO, DEBORAH, Iowa, or the
bayfield, Investment Association,

BOOKS | HAVE MET
BV DR.. Frank Crane

Recently | have met three real books
To meet real book is as much an event and
a thrill as to meet real man, perhaps even a
real woman.
Books roar from the presses of the modern
world like the waters that come down at Lo-
dore.
No human being can keep track of the wild
and boundleSS waste of literature spread all
about us.
If one even followed the Times Book Review
he would have time for nothing else. To be
"Well read" as the smart book reviewers seem
to suppose their readers all want to pretend
to be, man would have to give up his bust
ness and woman would be compelled to re-
nounce the world, take the veil and enter a
library.
Of the sixty new books on my "new books
shelves in front of me there are ffty-seven
variety of trash.
But have met three volumes that were
worth almost drowning for.
First: That book on "The Worlds Food Re-
sources" by Smith of Columbia, which l spoke
of some time ago.
Second: The thin fortnightly luridly bound
what is going to be the smashing literary event
of the year, H. Gh Wells Outlines of His
tory"
Wells, to my mind, is king of modern
writer's. He is not smart Aleck like G. B.
Shaw, sleight of hand performer like Ches-
terton, wonderful story teller lost on the
Road to Endor like Conan Doyle, an amazing
phrase maker like Kipling.
He differs from all these in that he has
something to say, something of importance
which the world ought to hear. He has mes
sage. He is preacher. AS Dante and Victor
Hugo were preachers, and R. L. Stevenson.
Some time later hope to review this history
at length, But-just think of one thing his
tory of man, beginning with the Pithecan-
thropus or Ape Man and ending with the
League of Nations
Third: Edwin E. SlossonS "Creative Chem
iStry."
When l got away into. this book almost
wept for self-pity. To think had never had a
chance to read such book when boy
And wanted to shout To think of the luck
of the present generation of boys who have
such a book
The book is tremendous. 1t is an epoch.
1t is knowledge made beautiful, facts trans
formed to fairies.
The reason is easy to see. Slosson has
imagination. Hence he does not stupidity write
what he knows his reader cannot grasp, as do
most authors of scientific books
1t is a book to own, to mark, to read aloud
to the family.
| am getting along, hence harder and harder
to please. But thankful | am that | can still
burst into flame at such as these three boooS
Would that they were spread abroad and
studied of young writer's, that they might see
that to write greatly it is not necessary to wal
low in cheap morbiditieS, nor crack smarty
quipS, nor be nasty, nor this, nor that but only
to have that gift of God which comes to few,
that IthureIS wand that makes miracle of
the commonplace that secret of all real letters

GRAVES DISEASE
BY Il. AddingtOn Bruce

~RAVES'S DISEASE, so called, is what is
I otherwise known to the medical
world as exophthalmic goitre 1t derives
its special name from that of the physician who
described it in some medical lectures in 1895.
And, long though it has been known, it still
is much of puzzle. Often its diagnosis is diff
ficult because its typical mptomS-swelling of
the thyroid gland and a curious protrudng of
the eyes-nay not be noticeably present
But other symptoms go with it-a fine ire
NOR of the hands, markedly rapid pulse, abb
normal energy, and nervous tension. So that
even though the thyroid may not be appreciably
swollen or the eyes protruding, as Morsman
remarks:
Zone should always be suspicious of the
thyroid in patient whose heart beats persist
emily 90 or more times a minute"
To be sure, excessive use of alcohol or to-
bacco may cause ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS East pulse
and the possibility of these factors must be
eliminated in diagnosis With them eliminated,
and with definite cause for tremer or nerv-
Gus tension found on medical examination, ex-
ecSSive functioning of the thyroid, or GraveS'S
disease, should at once be taken into account.
Its cause or causes are as obscure as the
diagnosis often is pulling. Some authorities
are nowadays inclined to emphasize the part
played by focal infections" of the teeth, ton
sils, etc. Others emphasize wholly psychic
causes.
Nor can there be any doubt that worry and
tear often are responsible tor GraVeS'S disease
the facial expression of a typical victim is in
deed that of person overborne by terror. But
the disease may occur without any such excitant
as worry or fear. In fact, as Cabot frankly
says:
"Most cases have no terror as their cause
and as to their real cause we are entirely in
ignorance"
Treatment, of course aims at reducing the
activity of the thyroid gland. This in many
cases may be achieved by putting the patient
on a strict rest cure in bed for two or three
months. X-ray treatment is found helpful in
many other cases. So is surgical intervention
When the surgeon intervenes he does SO in
one of two ways. Either he removes part of the
thyroid, or he blocks some of the blood YES
sells supplying it. This imposes on the thy
roid, SO to speak, a semirStarvation, and
naturally its tendency then is to function less
vigorously
GraveS's disease, for the matter of that, may
get better of its own accord, no treatment what
ever being given But it may become progress
Svely worse, SO that treatment of some sort al
ways is logically indicated-treatment first by
rest, then, if necessary, by the X-rays, and by
surgery as last and often most successful
resort.

BRIGHTER Skies for Austria

~ ITY for Austria as the victimized maid
of her Prussan mistress adventure has
been so widely voiced and, in the
main, so deserved that it is good to hear
sanguine account Of her present condition
and prospect. Writing in the Revue Des
Deux Mondes, former President Poncare OBJ
serves that the new Austria holds highly
advantageous position for International COM
merce, being ION the road from Germany
and. Czecho-Slovakia to the Mediterranean
and the Adriatic, and also on the road from
Western Europe to Constantinople and Asia
Minor" Thus situated, why should she not
develop into one of the worlds great mar
kets? Moreover, argues M. Poincare she is
peculiarly rich in natural treasure.
The Austrian Alps are much more
thickly wooded than the Central or West
ern Alps. Forests cover 40 per cent of
the surface of the new Austria. Part of
the wood harvested is needed for local
industries; another part is required for
heating; but there is a surplus for eX-
port of at least two million cubic meters
a year. cover $4,000 cords.) The wa
terfalls are numerous, and as a member
of the Austrian parliament, Herr Golde-
mung, said, on April 80, the utilization
Of hydraulic power is one of Austrias
great future resources. The National
Assembly, in fact, has voted the electri-
fication Of several railway lines, repre-
senting a total of more than 400 miles.
is abundant iron ore in the Erzberg, at
Graz, at Eisenerz, and there is rock-salt
at Salzberg, at Salzhammergut and in
the Tyrol Add to this the spinning
mills, glass factories, tanneries, chemi-
cal factories, flour mills, breweries, fur
niture factories, and manufactures of
luxury-articles, some "f whio" rival
those of Paris. You will conclude that
Austria is not dead, provided she will
take the trouble to live"
1t is to be hoped that every nation of war
broken Europe, Germany included, will find
the way speedily back to prosperity, for
there can be no secure wellbeing in the world
so long as any group of it's people is left to
misfortune and distress. For Austria the wish
is particularly keen because not even at the
height Of war passion did she lose that pc
cular grace which flowers in Vienna. Mis-
led and wrongwilled as she was, she sang
no song Of hate. vandalized no shrine Of
beauty; and grievous though her fault, has
not her cup of suffering flowed full?
