disease there is about the same col
orless mucus as that obtained in
normal persons. The differences in
the casts and other findings in the
three different conditions are too
technical for a layman.
DR.. Adds thus Classics the three
types or kinds of Bright's disease:
l. Hemorrhagic Bright's disease,
which pathologists call glomercular
nephritis, features being blood casts
and red corpuscles in the urine. This
form is usually associated with a.
moderate increase in diastolic press
ure and often slight general edema.
The usual cause is a streptococcal in
fection, as in scarlet fever. The kid
ney lesion often heals after the strep-
tococcal infection has run its course
or been eradicated, with a defect
compensated by enlargement
2. DegeneratiVe Brght's disease.
the prominent feature of which is
the presence of many epithelial cells
in the sediment, the cells in all
stages of granular or fatty degener-
alton. In some cases no cause can
be found. Sometimes it is due TO
poisoning by mercury or other
metals, or to malaria, sometimes the
toxemia of pregnancy. In children
it may be from staphylococcal focal
infection.
8. Arteriosclerotic Bright's disease
the most common form, found in pa
tients with apprehension. This form
is sometimes called chronic intersti-
tial nephritis. and being rather a
minor issue, 1T calls for little consid
Grafton in the management of the
patient for what really ails him
cardio vascular disease.
Some readers will think il an over
sight that 7 have said nOthN7 abg11t
albumin. The truth is, the finding
of albumin in the urine is in itself
of no definite significance, since it
may be present in normal conditions
or absept, event though the patient
has Bright's disease The discover
of albumin in the urine no more
means Bright's disease than does a
rundown condition mean tuberculosis
or a murmur heart disease.

Mothers Nagging.

Mother nags at me So" Grace COM
planned one day. Il wouldn't mind
doing things if mother wasn't so per-
sistently at me about them. She
honestly doesn't give me a seconds
peace, and I'm peevish and irritable
all the time"
1t sounded dreadful to me. How
often had 1 heard stories like this Of
a fretful, nervous woman who made
her children's lives miserable with
her constant sharp nagging.
However, knowing Grace as well as
/ did, I realized that there might be a
good bit Of eXaggeration in her story.
On my next visit to her home l
watched Grace's mother very care
fully for any signs Of fretful nagging.
Mrs. Harcourt was rather tired
looking woman, with the air OF one
who bears too many of life's burdens
on her shoulders.
AS Grace rose to get the tea things,
her mother exclaimed: ''Oh, Grace,
you forgot to get your new dress
from the cleaners. I've been remind
ing you of that every day this week.
Now what will you do if somebody
asks you to go out tonight?''
"Oh, mother" Grace flashed, i'm
patiently. I'm sick to death of hear
ing about that darn old dress. When
nave time 10 get II, L WILL OOI
keep reminding me about it.
Mrs. Harcourt subsided with an
apologetic look at me for her daugh-
ters rudeness.
However, d few minutes later, she
could not help remarking: You know,
dear your hair really does need cut
ting, and it wouldn't take you but a
few minutes when you're downtown to
have the barber trim it. 1t would
look so much better. You've let it go
so long now"
And again Grace protested loudly
and violently at being constantly re-
minded of her blamed old bair. Some
time or other she would have it cut,
but she did hate to be continually
found fault with because of her hair
cut.
1t was borne in on me gradually
that dear little Grace objected to
mothers "nagging" simply because 1t
brought to light her own selfshness
and laZiness.
Grace was so careless, she reduced
her clothes to wrecks of their former
selves in a months time. She resent
ed having her attention called to her
slovenliness.
She was so lazy that she hadn't the
ambition to have her hair cut when 1t
needed trimming badly-and she hated
to have this pointed out to her.
She was thoughtless of other peo-
pies happiness, and it annoyed her
when her mother reminded her that
she had neglected to do certain things
which would have made other people
happy.
In short, mothers "nagging" was
disagreeable simply because it brought
home the disagreeable truth toe often
TO the sweet-tempered Grace.
The next time you fall into peev-
ish mood, because you feel you're be-
ing constantly nagged at and worried,
ask yourself whether it's really the
nagging that worries you-or the DIT
ter fact that mother is gently remind
ing you of the fact that you're lazy
and selfish and careless.
If you tell yourself the truth, you II
talk a great deal less about mother
"nagging.

Forms of Bright's Disease.

An English physician, Richard
Bright, first noticed, about 100 years
ago, certain patients in Guys Hos
pital with edema (dropsy). enlarge
ment of the heart and other signs,
including the presence of protein in
the urine, and he discovered that
these patients had some disease of
the kidneys. The kidney LESSONS We're
not always the same, but the general
condition came to be known as
Bright's disease. Microscopic meth
DDS were not yet available in Bright's
day. The adoption of microscopical
diagnosis in our day has enabled US
to distinguish three types or forms
of Bright's disease. These three
forms of Bright's disease are practi-
cally three distinct diseases, as has
been pointed out by DR.. Thomas
Adds. a California internist, who has
learned that the finding Of casts in
the microscopic examination hinges
upon the reaction and the degree of
dilution of the urine-that is, the
casts may dissolve and disappear
when the urine becomes alkaline or
are more constantly found in Bright's
disease when the urine is normally
acid and concentrated.
count for a good deal Of the varia-
bility in this particular finding, in
such examinations. So Adds lays
down careful rules for the procuring
OF the specimen, giving written in
structions to the patient. The pa
tient is asked to take his ordinary
breakfast, including coffee. tea or
milk If he wishes, but thereafter all
fluids must be abstained from for the
rest of the day and the night until
the specimen has been obtained the
following morning. The diet is not
restricted In other respects, except
that the patient is asked to take no
more fruit than customary, even
though thirsty.
Some of such a. suitable specimen
is centrifuged twhirled to cause quick
settling of any sediment in it,, and in
normal persons such sediment con
sists of a grayish mucus; in the early
stage Of hemorrhagic Bright's disease
it consists of a brown precipitate; in
the active stage the sediment be-
comes white. In degenerative

shows in the sediment, but only a
small amount of cloudy white de

means an inferior grade and poor
wearing quality.
All high-grade leather is more or
less elastic. This capacity to stretch
Is characteristic. and adds very much
to the wearing life of leather. When
properly cared for, it retains this
quality almost indefinitely.
There Is also a peculiar softness and
f1exibility to good leather which none
OF the limitations have been able to
equal. And the cheap grades of real
leather are sitter and harsh.
Another test for good leather is by
water. A good grade that has been
well tanned and dressed with oils is
almost impervious to moisture Drop
little water on the hair or grained
side Of the skin you want to judge. If
1t soaks in readily the tanning is i'm
perfect and the article will probably
not give satisfaction, especially if it
is to be exposed to the weather or
hard wear in any way.
A knowledge Of color helps some in
judging leather. 1t is dyed nowadays
In almost every tint. But whatever
the color. it should be deep. rich, lus-
trous, and uniform throughout. There
is almost no other material which
takes dye SO effectively as leather, and
1t does so without perceptible harm

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
''Crusty.'

If ever there was aSword which
seemed so unmitigatedly and irrepar-
ably slang that it would never be used
in polite speech and would need gun
and a crowbar to get into the diction-
ary, it is this word 'crusty" with the
significance of unpleasant or disagree
able manner, sometimes of an impos-
ing or "nervy" disposition. Yet such
are the ways of words-we find it
fully accredited in Webster's.
Attempts have been made by some
antiquarians to connect the origin of
"crusty" with "cross," meaning dis
agreeable. However, it makes very
far-fetched and unauthentic history
of the term. This is one instance
where to go far is to go astray, be-
cause the true origin of the expression
is so obviously before our eyes in the
word itself.
Literally, "crusty' means to have q
hard or brittle crust. And Webster
himself authorizes it's use for the per-
son who has a rough exterior. or
cranky" manner, or that thick
skinned" type that is nerve" per-
sonifled.
