DO SEEDS CAUSE APP
PENDICITIS?

ONE of the widespread popular pc
~ liefs is that seeds cause appendl-
citis. This idea is inherited by the
public from doctors, who, early In the
history Of our present-day knowledge
of the disease, thought that intamma-
tion of the appendix was due to sInall
foreign bodies getting into the appen-
dix and causing irritation.
In many instances, among the nrst
cases operated on, seeds or small hard
masses of food were found in the ap-
pendix after 1t was removed From
this, many surgeons assumed that the
seeds were responsible. Larger expe-
rience has shown that the presence of
these substances was accidental and
had nothing to do with the disease IT
self.
Appendicitis Is sometimes referred
to by newspaper paragraphers and
joke editors, as a recent invention OF
doctors or as a new disease. The
question is often asked why did no
one ever hear of appendicitis dntil
comparatively few years ago?
Bless your heart, they did, ard many
of them died of it. Only the doctors
of so years ago didn't call i appen-
dicitis. They called it inflammation
of the bowels" and they gaze their
patients opium to control the pain until
they got well or died. You sDe, they
didn't dare open the abdomen to find
out what was going on inside. 1t was
not until Pasteur and Lister showed
surgeons how any part of the body
could be opened up and closed again
without injury to the patient, that any
thing could be done for such con-
ditions.
Seeds are occasionally found in the
appendix, but only rarely. Mur3hy, of
Chicago found them in less than 2 per
cent of his cases. Bryant OF New
York. another great surgeon, said they
only occurred in about one-half of l
per cent or one case out Of two hun
bred.
Appendicitis is the result OF indi-
gestion But every one has indiges-
ton Why doesn't every one have APP
pendicitis? Because some fortunate
persons have very liberal blood sup
ply to the appendix. They can stand
an occasional inflammation without
har. But person who has small
arteries or whose appendix is twisted
and narrow, doesn't get off so easily. A
small amount of swelling will shut off
the blood vessels. Then the appendix
softens and breaks and peritonilis re-
suits.
How do you know whether you are
in the lucky or the unlucky group?
You don't. But if you are past forty
five and have never had it, you needn't
worry You probably never win have
it. Most cases occur between tel and
forty-five. During these years, don't
overeat and avoid indigestion.

THE PAINS OF FLAT FEET

FLAT feet, otherwise called broken
4 arches, is a condition which ZONES
on slowly and insidiously. While not
dangerous to life, it can produce far
more suffering and incapacity than
many much more serious conditions
The human foot Is marvelousiy eff
fective machine Like the hand, 1t
bears In its structure evidence OF the
long ages of development through
which it went to reach its present eff
cheney While the sole of the foot,
with its muscles and heavily padded
skin surface is fairly fiat, the homes
of the foot are not fiat at all, but are
arched to support the weight OF the
body and also to balance the body In
any position which it may assume.
The rear of the arch is formed by
the heel bone or os calcis, as 1t is
called The front rests on the heads
of the bones of the two outer toes.
These bones are closely and firmly
bound together by dense and strong
Iigaments, so that the arch is solid and
compact. Pivoted to the bone which
forms the keystone of this arch are
the long bones of the leg, so that the
body weight is held up by the bpny
arch.
But If this were all, we would go
about like beginner learning to
skate. The second arch helps US to
maintain our balance This is formed
by the bones Of the big toe, which.

This pulling apart of the boxes
stretches the ligaments. while the un-
natural position tires the muscles. and

ARTIST COMPLETES RELIGIOUS PICTURE OF RESURRECTION
PUBLIC RECEPTION AT CHURCH THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR
 THREE HOURS.

The Resurrection" by Van Emple is without doubt the greatest reIi- gious picture in existance which has for it's background Alaska and Alas kan life. It is a great asset to the To- cal church and the community for it will be an object of interest to tour ists for it is beautiful and typically Alaskan
 The public will have it's first op- portunity to view this picture next Thursday afternoon. The Rev. w. A.. Thomas will arrive from Anchorage on Wednesdays train and the follow ing day between the hours of and 5 o'clock p. m., the ladies of the church have arranged an informal reception for the public at which refreshments will be served. The people of Sew ard are invited to visit the Church Thursday afternoon and meet MT. Thomas who has succeeded MT. Lands downe as priest in charge of the Se ward and Anchorage missions.
 The painting of the "Resurrection" by MT. Van Emple has been complet- ed and now forms the reredos for the altar in the St. Peters Episcopal Church at Seward. The picture is an original idea beautifully executed The upper portion of the picture shows the figure of the risen Christ surrounded by ministering angels.

ped by the Lomen Brothers and the remainder by the Eskimos. About 400 or 800 were taken by the local market in the Nome district.
 Southbound on this trip the Box CT put in at Kivalina where 125 reindeer were killed by the Eskimos and put in the ships cold storage, at Kotzebue where 100 were killed and at St. Lawrence where 200 were killed. The shipment from these three points is that now aboard the vessel.

 The health conditions of the na- lives in the North has been very good this year, Captain Whitlam said. There was shortage of fish but this was made up with seal, walrus and whale which were abun- dant.
 The whale catch was very good. At Point Barrow 19 bowheads were caught, at Wainwright two bow heads and at Point Hope, 13 bow heads, besides a good sized number of belugas.
 During the year the Boxer has handled over 1000 tons of school supplies to the various points in the north where Bureau schools are maintained and has carried 40 teachers.
 On the first trip the vessel left Seattle June 13 last with a full cargo about 4SO tons of frieght and in the Boring Sea at Ugashik, Kog- giung, Nushagak, Kulukuk, Togiak, Good News Bay, Hooper Bay, Tan unuk on Nelson Island and Nash Harbor on Univak Island.

ocean into Prince William Sound Should vessel from the herring fleet strike the fish in or near one of these entrances, all the fleet rushes there in a body, leaving the remaining pass es free of exploration.
 Our herring seine boats keep re- cords of the time that fish were caught in certain locations in former years, so that year after year they may fish these waters successfully If they prove unsuccessful in securing catch in any one of their old locations, they readily come to the conclusion that the fish are on the wane, instead of exploring for pastures new.
 Large quantities of herring were caught in a bay at Naked Islands this summer by men who were fishing in Prince William Sound for the first time, and were not familiar with these bays and passes of the Sound. These men impounded hundreds of barrels

of would-be packers, who serenely in- troduced themselves into the herring fishing industry without experience or qualifications for the game. I admire, and would help any man with true ambition, but why encourage inexpe- rienced men to ultimately destroy a new and rising industry.
 The miserable misrepresentation of Alaska Fat Herring on our market this season was disgraceful to our fair name as fish packers. The first catch of the season was cured ire spective of quality and practically dumped into barrels and rushed down to the early market. The first pack of the season was easily disposed of. The wholesaler on receiving the pack observed the inferior quality, but as he must supply his waiting retailer, who in turn supplied the consumer, the pack brought good prices. But the consumer found the quality bad and

{ of herring, despite the fact that no herring had ever been known to come from that location in former seasons, simply because it was never explored. enough herring in Prince William Sound prior to the opening of this 1925 season to keep all the salteries in Alaska busy every day of the en- tire season. Those fish were here, but we could not locate them. During the summer of 1920, the fish packed in Prince William Sound were caught in Hogan Bay, Sheldon Bay and Erl- ington Pass, the fall fish being caught in Whale Bay.
 In 1921 the summer fish were caught between Bainbridge and Prince of Wales Pass. Fall fish for this season were caught in Main Bay. In 1922, the record year, the summer fish came from Henning Bay and Mcleod Har- bor on Montague Island. The fall fish came from Main Bay. In 1923 the summer fish came from Cape Earling- ton, Deep Bay and Prince of Wales Pass. More summer fish were packed this year than in any of the preceding record years, but the fall fish were never located.
 In 1924 the fishing was failure, al- though several thousands barrels were packed by few of the packers. At Three Saints Bay, on the southeast end of Kodiak Island, in the year 1921 the Alaska Sea Food Produce Company packed 5000 barrels. In 1922 the pack was about half that of the preceding year. In 1923 it was a failure, while in 1924 the packers did not operate, anticipating another fail ure, but the herring came in in abun- dance. Another company operated a saltery, but being rather late in com mencing, cured but 2OO0 barrels. In 1921 herring were so plentiful in Uganik Bay that three men who had been employed in local cannery, fish, ed with a beach seine net and Nor wegian cured 800 barrels.
 Owing to this record catch the San ] Juan and Uganik Packing Companies erected salteries there in 1922 and 1923, but both years were failures. Had these companies operated in 1921 they would, no doubt, have been ac- cused of exterminating the fish from this locality.
 I could go on naming instances like this, all due to the migratory habits of the herring. For centuries in Scotland the same peculiarities have been found, the fish moving from one location to another, and periodically deserting one location for another Fishing centers have seasons of suc- cess and reverses, but the fishing in dustry there still continues.
