Personal HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. d.
Noted Physician and Author

Meningitis, brain abscess and septic
sinus thrombosis are the grave COM
plications which occur in some cases
of mastoidltis. The facial nerve
passes through the mastoid area and
is not rarely involved in infiamma-
tory conditions resulting in one sided
2sEalysfs of the face.
#H a child there In seldom any ssI-
deTee by which the layman may
know that a mastoid infection has
developed as a complication of ear In
1ammation or running ear. II re-
quires the physician's skill 10 recog-
niZe mastoiditis. in very few cases
in adults noticeable tenderness of the
bone behind the ear, or even redness
and swelling there, may indicate
mast oiditis.
OF course the treatment Is the treat
ment of the ear condition RESPONSE
BILE. ] have already said that many
cases of mastoiditis go on to spon-
taneous recovery. Nevertheless mas
totditis, or a condition likely to lead
TO it, is always a serious matter
which should have the best medical
and surgical attention obtainable, for
there is nothing to be gained, and
too much to be risked, in any at
tempts at "home treatment" OF these
conditions.

THE GUIDE POST
by Henry and TertiuS Van Dyke.
Freedom.

For freedom did Christ set US tres.--
Gal. vi.
Nothing is more important for a
man to understand than what it
means to be free. Liberty, like all
things worth having, is q dangerous
gift. II may lead us to heights OF
undreamed bliss. It may thrust us
into the deepest of dungeons.
Everything depends on whether we
exercise or abuse freedom.
Individualism run riot Ia not free
dom.
Disregard of all convention may
become enslavement Just as much as
stupid conventionality.
To do what you please may lead to
the worst of all imprisonments-sel
enslavemert
Like every virtue, freedom is
closely shadowed by a vice, That is
the real meaning of the old saying
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty."
!. But il we are to be free we must
not only avoid the abuse Of freedom
we must exercise freedom.
For liberty is not an abstract en-
tity to be captured and held between
the thumb and fingers. 1t is trans
forming virtue in a man to be exer-
cised or at once lost.
If YOU have been set free. show il
In life-think, speak, act as a free
man.
1t is for this purpose that Christ
sets mon free-that we may live be-
yond reach OF fear and favor.

Wool feels wiry and elastic. too, in
comparison TO the softer, more yield
ing feel of cotton. Too much cot

A blanket robe" in ail-wooi or in
heavy cotton material, and in true
blanket coioring and pattern, is a
choice both warm and attractive.
Flannel also, in all-wool, makes an
ideal robe. Corduroy is popular and
owing to its rich mapped surface is
both warm and handsome. And terry
cloth-the stuff of which towels are
made-though not as warm as the
other materials mentioned, has the
advantage of acting as a drying
agent as well as a covering. 1t is
a popular Summer robe.
Quilted Jap silk, though rather ex-
pensive, makes a robe that IS both
warm and seryiceable. Eiderdown is
both warm and practical. Ease of
cleaning should be among the first
values looked for in a bath robe, for
there is little satisfaction In own

Mastoiditis.

Am Interested, writes a reader, in
learning the exact location and func-
tion of what is called the mastold
gland.
The mastoid. TO begin with, isn't a
gland, but just Il b0ny process or
prominence behind the ear. 1t is part
OF the temporal bone. II Is situated,
I suppose. in the best place the Gre
ator could select for it, though ii
sometimes seems about as awkwardly
in the way as a sore thumb The
maStoId process is not solid bone, but
spongy or hollow within, where. there
are air cells which communicate with
each other and with the cavity OF the
ear inside the drum. SO it happens
that Inflammation In the ear frequent
" extends into the mastoid cel1s.
Then there is a very thin wall Of
bone between the mastosd cells and
the brain cavity itself, so that severe
Inflammation In the mastoid cells
(mastoiditis). sometimes damages that
wall and breaks through into brain
nembrances or tissues. That Is the
reason why mastoiditts is a serious
condition.
Probably. in every case of mastoidi-
tis the cause is infection OF the mas
told cells by bacteria from an in
famed or running" middle ear,
" hich physicians call ofitis media and
laymen sometimes describe as a
-'gathering| in the ear Mastoiditis
with its attendant dangers must be
looked upon as an notwithstanding e
risk for any one who has q chronic
running ear, and this Is not much in
fuenced by the Immediate amount Of
the discharge. although an extraor-
rinarily profuse discharge from the
ear after a gathering has broken
usually means that the pus is comm 6
from the ma stoid cells.
CnquestionRbly great many cases
Of acute mastoiditfs proceed to spon-
taneous and complete recovery with
out operation. The condition often
runs its course in young children un-
diagnosed or fnaccurately diagnosed

authorities, supported by the

completely stamped out in

OIL COMPANY
WINS IN COURT
Court AUards Verdict Against
Contractor Cdndtte In
NichOI Controversy.

The Hampstead OH 20"
Frank Myers, manager, won
its suit in Chancery Court here
in which annullment of the
drilling contract of j. E. Ca
matte was sought. Chancellor
Johnson took the case under
advisement last Thursday
night and mailed his findings
to the attorneys Saturday. 1t
is a complete victory for the
drilling company.
The Hampstead Oil. Co. con-
tended that Contractor Ca
matte had refused to set casing
at 1900 when ordered to do so
by the company, as provided
in the drilling contract, and
that he forfeited his contract
by such refusal and notified
the company that he could pro-
ceed no further with the well.
Contractor Camatte testified
his contract called for a depth
of $500 feet unless an oil or
gas we'll developed at lesser
depth, in which case he was al
so to be paid full amount of
contract for $500 feet. He
testified he went into a splen-
did gas sand at 1887 feet in
which he knew he could have
gotten a good gasser, but that
Mr.. Myers refused to let him
set casing for test Mr..
Myers, he testified, told him
that if he would pass the gas
sand up and go to the Tycap
sand, he would not require set
ting of 8-inch at 1900, as pro-
vided in the contract. This
was denied by Mr.. Myers when
he was placed on the stand.
The oil company was repre-
sented by Attorney Edward
McFadden of Hope and Mr..
Camatte by Judge Alpha of
Shreveport, La, assisted by
Hon. Steve Carrigan.
Disposal of this suit will
mean early resumption of
work at the Nichol well, ac-
cording to Mr.. Myers, who
says he feels sure he can re
move the bit which was lost in |
the well.
Owing to the legal tangle,
the drilling rig at the we'll will |
have to be sold at sheriff's sale |
to clear up title to the proper
ty. This, however, is merely a
matter of form and will only
necessitate short delay.
Mr.. Myers went to Grand
Rapids, Mich, Tuesday to con-
suit members of his company, |
He does not expect to be away
more than a week or so.
Mr.. Thurman reports restor-
alton of the Haffke block COM
pleted with the exception of a
few small tracts, and this al
most assures early develop
ment there. Mr.. Thurman pro-
poses to let one of the big COM
panies put a test down on this |
block and it only remains for
the company geo1ogist to in
spect the block and put HIS
stamp of approval on it.
Driller Alexander is expect
ed to return from Warren
Tuesday and he will immedis
ately make a pull on the King
No. 2 casing, which has been
stuck for some time.
