Hemorrhoids.

Cancer is one of the conditions
which are too frequently mistaken
for and maltreated as piles" In fact,
experience has shown that about one
third of all cases purportinS to be
hemorrhoids (piles) are not at all
what they purport to he. Usually
it is the sufferers own mistake:
sometimes physician Is accessory,
since some physicians are easy going
and perfectly willing to accept the
patients ready-made diagnosis with
out a pretense OF examination. Nine
cases out OF 10 Of so-called Itching
piles" are not piles at all. IT Is not
a health question but an individual
medical problem to learn what the
trouble is il not piles. The person
who assumes that pain or other dis
comfort Is due to hemorrhoidS and
embarks upon an expedition. of self
treatment or trying" the endless ar
ray Of cures" is just d plain every
day fool. as he learns eventually IL
he is not too deeply submerged In
credulity.
There are many quacks in the
country who pretend they can cure
piles without surgery. These quacks
perhaps treat more cases OF hemor-
rhoids and other conditions surgi-
cally than all of the reputable ply
SlcldnS OF surgeons 10, sutH ID thc
fondness of the public for being hum
bugged. The catch phrase without
the knife pleases the simple goof
who has run the gamut Of self-treat-
ments and "guaranteed' remedies. AS
a matter of fact, the ordinary opera
ton for the radical cure of piles does
not involve the use OF a knife.
\ hemorrhoid Cor pile> is var
icosity Ccaricose vein) Of the hem
orrhoidal vein in the wall Of the rec
tum.
Once in a while varicose veins seem
to undergo spontaneous restoration
to normal. But when this happens
there is certainly no specific remedy
or treatment which can be given the
credit. No Intelligent person would
claim to have q cure" for varicose
veins in any situation. Nobody really
has a cure for piles. Surgery offers
the only permanent relief-the destruc-
tion Of removal of the pile or piles.
Persons subject to attacks" OF
hemorrhoids at intervals. with Pc
rods Of comparative or perhaps COM
plcte comfort between the attacks.
sometimes fall into the error OF
ascribing the interval comfort to
"cure" by some nostrum or other.
Their testimonials are as ridiculous
as the general run of testimonials TO
the curative effects OF nosuuns.
The recurrence OF the trouble is only a
matter Of time. The cure" has as much
to do with the interval Of comfort as
arch props have with the prevention of
badness.

THE GUIDE POST

Adam and Forbidden Fruit,

She took of the fruit thereof and
did eat: and she gave thereof unto
her husband with her, and he did
eat.-Gen. iii.6.
Many Of the sins recorded in the
Bible seem like terrible blunders.
They are SO stupid that we cannot
help asking. why did he do it?"
Perhaps it may be good for US to
look into few of these cases and
search the motives that lead men
wrong
Here is the first case the begin
ming of original sin, told in the orr
entail imagery of the book of Genesis.
Why did Adam cat that particular
fruit which had been forbidden to
him under pain Of death?
He said il was because the woman
tempted him.
But that was evidently mean and
false excuse-in itself a prophecy of
the way in which men would try to
hide behind women.
1t could not have been natural
hunger that made him eat.
The garden was full of all manner
Of fruits, and he had the run of it.
But this special fruit was beautiful.
a delight to the eyes: therefore he
desired it.
Moreover, II had a promise Of new
and strange knowledge attached to
1t: therefore he craved 1t.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. d.

In any situation? Fundamentally, the
hemorrhoidal plexus or network Of
veins seems i'll adapted for bearing the
weight Of the considerable column Of
blood which these veins, without valves,
have to support In the upright posture.
The hemorrhoidal veins drain directly
into the portal veins (the region OF the
liver) and neither have the portal veins
any valves to help support the blood
column, so that any congestion of the
liver is likely to involve a similar state
in the hemorrhoidal veins. This is the
evolutionary cause Of piles; In the hori-
zontai posture these veins required no
valves and carried no load. The horison-
tai posture is mighty good thing to
revert to even now. if one Is subject to
piles or other varicosity.

Christmas Bells.

How do you make these bells:"
Betty Cut-out asked Joan, who was
spending the afternoon with her,
working on Christmas decorations.
They're very easy to make. This
Daper Is just the right size, 6inch
by S-inch. Fold 1t in half. Then
paste 1t up the side like this. Gather
the top Of the bell and tie 1T with
wire and stretch the bottom part so
1t will flare"
Then how do you make the
cIapper?" asked Betty.
'Cut off a piece of wire a little
bit longer than the bell and cover
it with crepe paper. Here-wind 1t,
like this, and cover a piece of cotton
for the end. Fasten 1t to the top Of
the inside Of the bell. That's right"
directed Joan.
Lets make lots of these paper
balls for the tree suggested Betty.
All you have to do with those is to
cut about ten strips and tie them
with wire"
Make the Christmas bells both
green and red and the paper balls
all different colors.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Should
Washington win the American
League pennant, and down in the
District of Columbia a man can
be put in Jail for questioning it,
the Senators will have won their
first championship solely by their
hard individual efforts. No one
will have won it for them, and their
victory will be due to the fact that
they have easily vanquished their
two nearest opponents, New York
and Detroit.
Washington won it's series from
New York by the substantial mar
gin Of thirteen games to nine, CIV
ing the Senator's a .591 percentage
against the worlds champions.
They already have a margin of
thirteen games TO six on the third
place Detroits, with three more
games to play.
On the other hand. Washington
had lost it's years series to the
Browns, and the best they can do
with Cleveland is an even break.
They already have lost eleven to
the Indians and won only eight.
It's a funny game.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The condi.

concern to the members of the
Yankee squad on their off day

Baseball players are not much
concerned with politics. Many of
them are so absorbed in the game
that politics get much less atten.
ton than batting averages. The
world series in Washington will
perhaps take away much of
politics thunder. The party
workers will all take the day off
when the games are played and
the campaign will have to so it
alone.
A worlds series in Washington
will be a novelty. 1t will take on
a new importance and receive more
attention than if it were played
elsewhere. The Washingtons have
never won a pennant. For that
matter. they haven't won it this
year-yet. They lead in the pen
nant race, and the Yanks are suf-.
fering from insomnia. II the Re
publican Administration sees to ii
that the world series in Wash
ington is great success, the least
that the fans can be expected to
do is to reciprocate at the polls.
On the other hand, if it isn't g.
success the Democrats can blame
it onto the Republican Admins
tration.
The Yankees for the past two
weeks have not been playing
with the speed and aggressive
ness they displayed In mid
season. Frequent batting slumps
have resulted H. dangerous in
difference. The fight which
enabled them to come from be.
hind and win an uphill game
has not been noticeable lately.
FREQUENT defeats must have inn

the fact that they are not quite

were.
The tendency TO let down has
been costly This seasons race
calls for a fight all the way. The
Yanks Of the past few seasons have
been able to rise to the occasion
and go out and win a ball game
when they needed one badly. Late
| ly, when the opposing club gets
out in front. the Yanks do not
view proceedings with alarm. They

, lessness, but it is probably nervou =
ness.
The Yanks of the past few sea.
sons never displayed any nerves.
The prospect Of losing the world s
series and the spoils which go with
the victory has made the world $
champions a bit panicky. The de-.
feats by Detroit and Washington
were furnishing, but in the past
the Yanks have been able to- as
simulate these attacks and come
back scrappier than ever. They
are in a bad mental and physical
slump, and they will have to snap
