There are now 1900 men employed

ADVENTURE OF

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"Where to next?" asked the Twins.
"Out to sea-" said Tick Took, the
clock fairy.
"What!" fairly shrieked Nancy and
Nick in their surprise.
That's what said,' grinned Tick
Took. "Out to sea-"
"But where shall we find any
clocks on the sea-" asked Nick.
"Where do you SUPPOSE" re-
marked the fairy. "On big ship,
of course. If you really want to
know it, ships have more uses for
clocks almost than any other thing,
except railroad trains. If it hadn't
been for ships needing something to
tell time by, I don't suppose clocks
would have been invented when they
were."
"What ship are we going on?"

get excited.

Editorial Comment
A New Kind of Strike
Cincinnati Times Starr

There is new kind of strike The street rail
way company at Port Arthur, Tex, refused to move
car from its barns last Friday night and it still
sticks to it's refusal. Its complaint is against the
bus lines that the city authorities have permitted
to compete with the regular street lines operat
ing under franchise.
The action taken by the street railway company
Of Port Arthur throws into relief the greatest Quea
ton that disturbs urban transportation today
Street railways almost always given a monopoly
III city. Economists recognize such a monopoly
"natural,' just it recognizes the natural mo-
nopolies of gas and electric companies and tee-
phone companies. Competition means duplication
and waste. 1t is far better for community to grant
monopoly and then regulate that monopoly than to
permit the waste of competition.
Today the trackless and wireless bus has upset the
effect Of the application of the practice Of natural
monopoly. Street railway companies that made
tE"r contracts with cities the basis of monopoly
find themselves subject to competition The
condition not last If cities to street
railway service they must recognize the principle
Of natural monopoly If bus service is practically
to suppant street railway service, the rail
way companies must be permitted monopoly of
bus service In the long run it means cheaper and
better transportation both by bus and by street car
The experience Of cities with competing street car
lines proved that many years ago.

ON HEALTH--
TELLS HOW TO PREVENT
RHEUMATISM

fever is comparatively common
disease in all climates within the
temperate zone.
1t occurs chiefly during the winter
and spring months.
Exposure to cold, damp at
mosphere is one of the most frequent
causes in persons predisposed to the
disease.
Acute rheumatism or rheumatic
fever may or may not begin with a
chill or sore throat. The larger
joints are usually affected. Swell
ing. heat, redness. tenderness, and
pain are the chief symptoms. The
heart is frequently involved.
In chronic rheumatism there is
stiffness and pain. In severe cases
the joints become enlarged and dis
torted and the deformity is some
times very great.
Muscular rheumatism most fre-
quently affects the muscles Of the
back. the side of the neck, and the
side Of the chest. When the muscles
of the back are affected this type Of
muscular rheumatism is usually call
ed lumbaro.
When the muscles of the side Of
the neck are affected the disease is
known as stiff neck or wry neck,
and when the muscles of the side
of the chest are involved the condi.
tion is known as pleurodynia. EN-
posture to colds and sudden exposure
of the body especially after exercise
are the chief exciting causes.
The muscles may be slightly swol-
len and very sensitive. Sometimes
the attacks come on suddenly and
apparently without cause, as a kink
in the back. following slight twist
or strain. Frequently patient may
wake up in the morning, as YOU
know, with a stiff neck.
HOW TO PREVENT
RHEUMATISM
A few hints concerning the pre-
vention of lheumatism:
The clothing should always he
adequate to protect the body from
changes in temperature. yet suited
to the atmospheric conditions pres
ent.
A wcll-balanced diet should he oh
served. Milk is always an accept
able article of diet in eases of rheu-
| matism. Lemonade and mineral
waters may be freely used. Plenty
Of water should be taken and the
| intestinal tract kept open.
Persons suffering from rheuma.
tism should have careful physical
examination made to determine if
possible the cause that is producing
the disagreeable symptoms.
When it has been determined that
in the opinion Of the examining
physical focal infection exists in
the body this condition should be
corrected.

Rheumatism is disease Of popu-
lar interest because it is Of frequent
occurrence and it affects persons of
all ages, classes, and occupations.
Acute rheumatism, acute articular
rheumatism. inflammatory rheuma-
tism, and rheumatic fever are terms
applied to one and the same dis
ease. A mldcr form of the infec-
ton is called sub-acute rheumatism.
Sub-acute rheumatism may con-
tinuc for long time and become
chronic. Chronic rheumatism. and
the different affections and deform-
tiles Of the joints to which this term
is frequently applied, may develop
quite independently Of any acute
or sub-acute attack.
Several different diseases. in reali-
ty, are included under the term Theu-
matism.
Physicians are now inclined to
disregard the word rheumatism and
instead attach a name to the condi-
tion that more accurately desc ribes
it, for example. an acute inflamma-
ton Of the joints is referred to by
physicians now as acute arthritls or
rheumatic fever, meaning general
condition accompanied by fever and
inflamed joints.
Rheumatism affects particularly
the Joints and muscles or both.
