Tuberculosis Can He Arrexteh

tuberculosis Is consumption and consump-
ton Is phthisis. and phthisis Is the disease
which some of our ancestors and maybe GONE
OF their doctors tried to conceal by saying
going into decline" Pulmonary tubcrcu-
losis means tuberculosis of the lungs-con-
sumption-phthsis--"go into decline"-
nut for heavens sake hope not "cold settled
on the lungs. OF weak lungs" or "a little
catarrhal trouble in lung" any more
Pulmonary tuberculosis Is II chronic disca sc.
That means II disease that runs a prolonged
course. There are carious more or less arb-
trary stages First. the beginning stage. or
as doctors say. incipient tuberculosis; mon his
later the second stage. In which the affected
part OF the lung or lungs becomes more or
less solid or iniiltratcd. like the hardened
place around boil; and third. the break ing
down or liberation of this hardened place to
form cavity. Now in the bcnightcd age of
our Srandfathers. few doctors were sufficiently
educated or equipped with the necessary in
strumcnts Of precision to detect tuberculosis
until tho third or cavity stage had arrived
and naturally the chances for recovery after
the disease had progressed so far were very
small. considering the fear of fresh air which
ohsessed people in those days. Consequently
consumption came to have bad rcputa-
tion-nnd even today few senile individua
realize that the great majority of victims
of pulmonary tuberculosis recover.

thus:

submit an article embodying my experiences

Journal OF the outdoor Life"
The article is the leading article OF The
issue for June. 1921. How Won the Battle
with tuberculosis in My own Home" and
a reading of it will repay every tuberculosis
fighter who can get hold of the magazine.
tuberculosis Is arrcsted-with the accent on
the rest. Rest Is the important remedy
rest In bed. in the open air under the super
vision OF n physician whose judgment and skill
are Indispensable for success. This particular

All Eyes on the President

n AILWAY employees and some railway

lie notice that on October 30 they will
begin a general strike designed to paralyzc

dispute over the wages which the railway
men will be paid The directors referred
TO have refused to obey the orders OF the
Railroad Wage Board
The manifest purpose OF the challenge
OF the men is to enlist the support Of the
Federal government in behalf OF the rail
road workers and their demands 1t is
the hope OF the leaders of the strike move
ment that the Washington administration.
when it comes face TO face with domestic
disaster, will intervene and, finding means
Labor Board in the case OF the unions, will
give some sort OF guarantee to the would be

President Harding, stpndins firmly by his
declaration that borir employees and employ
ers must obey the law should insist. after
giving proper notice, that this country is no,
being run by any single element of its
population and cannot be bulied into sur
render 10 any clement; that the DEGREES of
the government through the wage board
must be oheyed, and it is our belief that
lie will do no less than that.
Mr. Harding is a man OF soft words. of
amiable temper and OF conciliatory utti-
tndcs, all know, but beneath the
surface of the man there is innexbility
that knows no fear. Much has been said
OF the Harding "obstinacy." lie has been

this is true, lie has been given early on

About her troubles; misery

The happicst time she ever knows
Is when she's good and sad.

They'd stop most anything
To gather at 4 bier. and hear
The mournful singers sing.
And they so their gloomy way
Primed to the neck with fears,

Because this gloomy couple have
