took three years, mostly winters, of
eloquence and logic, not to say nag
ging, by the doctor to impart the
first rudiments Of common sense
hygiene. Granny finally came to
believe that clothing is something
to be worn for comfort, winter or
summer. and not for armor against
taking cold" and he had.to admit
after an exhaustive scientific con-

been in the habit Of wearing a cur

why red, it would be a puzzle to
determine. but perhaps because red
is the danger signal-cut in the
outline Of a shield, and Granny
rather shamefacedly confessed to
the doctor that this contraption was
a chest protector" He was iu-
fluenced to discard the, "chest pro-
tector" more by the argument that
it was an uncleanly thing than by
any belief that it actually tended
to impair his natural resistance to
infection. Being regular, again, he
was one of those individuals who
imagine that body warmth and COM
fort come from external heat, arti-
fetal warmth, rather than from
within. With this idea uppermost
in mind it is not strange that an
invalid with trouble he imagines
was caused by cold" in the first
place should be inclined to wear
more clothing than comfort really
called for. especially upon the
throat and chest where he childish
ly fancied the cold might "pene-
trate." 1t wasla great day for the
doctor, therefore, when Granny
first ventured out for his constitu-
tional sensibly, even lightly attired,
notwithstanding the clustering
weather. The doctor espied his diff

stick as blithely as any young buck,
without sign of a muller about
his throat or overshoes or any of
those timorous appurtenances of

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

NORTH. P.)
Answer-Sarcoma is one OF the
more malignant types Of cancer oc-
curing in persons Of any age and
rapidly fatal in its course unless
radically removed by operation. The
term fibro-sarcoma means that the
structure Is that Of mass OF
fibro-sarcoma means that the struc-
ture is that of mass Of flbres, as
seen under the microscope. The
cause Of cancer is unknown. Sar-
coma often develops in the site OF
some previous injury. X-ray and
radium treatment seem to have less
influence upon sarcOna than upon
the other types of cancer (carci-
mona. and epithelioma especially.
Cataract.
When . person has a cataract is it
necessary to wait long while be-
fore an operation can be perform
ed?-tMrs. M. P.)
Answer-Nowadays cataract is
commonly operated on immediate
ly, without waiting indefinitely for
the cataract to "ripen." You should
give yourself the benefit of any
doubt by consulting an oculist
about it.
Leakage Of the Heart
What is meant by leakage OF the
heart? Is 1t a cause OF death?-
(Mrs. NJ. R. H.)
Answer-There are membranous
valves between the two right cavi-
ties, and others between the two
left cavities Of the heart; and SINH
lar valves between the heart and
the great arteries. These valves
close after the contraction of the
heart, and prevent any blood from
leaking back into the heart. AS a
result of infection germs lodging
on and entering the membrane) Of
the valves, and Inflammation thus
caused (endocarditis) the men,
brane may become thickened or dis
torted and then the valve will not
close perfectly. That constitutes
leakage of the heart" or valvular
disease. 1t is never in itself cause
Of death Indeed, most persons
with leakage Of the heart die fin
ally of other causes Independent Of
the heart defect.

hibit a Friendly Attitude
Toward Suggestion.
(R. The Associated Press,

Associated Pess) ).-The proposal
that the seniority ssue-conceded
to be the sole obstacle to the set
tlenent of-the railroad shop crafts
strtke-be submitted to arbitration
by an Impartial tribunal, was dis
cussed tonight by conference OF
railroad brotherhood chiefs and
railroad executives as a basis for
ending the transportation tieup.
Although no definite agreement
was said to have been reached at
the conference which lasted for
nearly three hours, both sides were
sal d to have exhibited friendly
attitude toward the suggestion.
The railroad executives already
have an appointment to meet with
President Harding at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning when. it was
said, Mr.. Harding would be told
of the new situation resulting from
the late hour negotiations in order
that he might proceed from that
point with his policy of mediation.
Lack of information as to the
attitude which would be taken by
the leaders Of the striking shop
men to the proposal was said to
have prevented the other union
leaders from taking a definite
stand. 1t was expected that a re-
port on the proceedings would be
made as soon as possible to B. NJ.
Jewell, leader of the shop crafts,
and his associates to obtain their
views.

LIE Ut. GOVERNOR
IS WORKING AS
4 STR|kE: Guard

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. IL (by the
Associated Press.) - Pelham A..
Barrows, lieutenant governor of
Nebraska, and for the .-ast week
acting chief executive during the
absence of Governor Mckelvie, al
so is working as a $J day strike
guard for the Chicago Burlington
and quincy railroad.

honor but no remuneration, he
said, adding that he took the new

from Alliance, where he had es-
corted crew of non-union work.
ers. Il could not get work else"
where, and l and by wife were
down and out"
Under Nebraska law, the office
of lieutenant governor as such is
n-remunerative, although that
official draws $1,000 as presiding
officer of the state assembly in its
biennial sessions. Under the con-
stitution the lieutenant governor
when acting in the absence Of the
governor, should receive the
emoluments of that office but be-
cause the last legislature rejected
an appropriation bill providing for
that there is no fund available TO
meet Mr.. Barrows' claim for $lS00
for serving as chief executive.
Mr. Barrows said Governor NC
Kelvie did not object to the leue
tenant governor working for the
railroad, and that when so in
formed he had withdrawn his re-
drawn up for presentation
to the c., B. & O., had there been
executive tisapproval.
While an opinion from the at
torney general declared that the
lieutenant governor attains all the
powers of governor when that Of
ficial leaves the state, Mr.. Barrows
said work of the governors office
actually is carried on through the
secretary of state during the gov
ernor's absence.
1t is not known just when Gov
ernor McKelvie will return from
Denver, where he went the first OF
