An UrAnown Hero.

Somewhere IN Washington is a hero
who does not desire the limeIight of
publicity and praise. Yesterday after
noon. attracted by the screams of a
little boy near the Tidal Basin, he ran
to the edge and saw a woman and a
baby in the water. Without hesitation
he stripped off his overcoat, leaped in
and saved them from drowning When
help came and they were taken from
the water by others. he refused to be
assisted to shore until the infant was
resuscitated. Then he allowed the
others to pull him TO shore, put on his
coat and disappeared. He remains I'M
known by his own wish.
There was no particular danger in
plunging into the Basin, for the water
is not deep. That fact, however, prob
ably never entered into the calculation
of this unknown resCuer. He acted in
stantly without regard to his own
safety. even as he afterward left the
scene without giving his name. 1t was
just the same sort of impulse that
caused Alexander Dunn, the watch.
man at a local grade crossing, a few
weeks ago to try to rescue a small
boy from the tracks. only to lose his
life with that of the little fellow he
tried 10 save. The instinct to help TO
save is a natural reaction. and in this
case it differs only in the modesty
which this unidentified man displayed
in quickly effacing himself from public
notice. He perhaps does not rate his
action as especially heroic. He makes
no capital Of his deed. He is content
with the conscientious feeling that he
unhesitatingly obeyed a primal in
stinCt of humanity.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
For Colds

G. F. B. asks: "What is the best
thing to take to break up a cold?"
Reply-A hot tub or foot bath, hot
drink, and then go to bed, if you be-
gin to treat your cold during the chill
stage. During the early stages, while
you have fever, you should remain
in bed. A laxative may be beneficial.
The diet should be light. People OBJ
ject to spending day or two in bed
for cold. But that is the best way
to conserve the vitality of the body
and help the system to develop an
immunity to the infection that caused
the cold.
If a cold does not soon show i'm
provement when treated by simple
home remedies such as the above, the
services of physician should be OBJ
tanned. Most of the cough medicines
that are commonly used for the pur-
pose of curing cold are worthless.
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1926-02-04

by physician. For hiccough may be
caused by inflammation of some organ
in the abdomen giving rise to per-
itonitis. 1t may even be a symp-
tom of some disease affecting the
brain, as well as of such diseases as
diabetes and chronic Bright's disease.
1t is probable that some such serious
disease may have been an important
factor in causing some of the deaths
attributed to persistent hiccough.
Correction of faulty dietetic habits
Will often prevent the ordinary at
tacks. If the cause is hasty eating
and drinking, or eating too much,
these bad habits should be corrected
Any particular foods which are known
to be likely to bring on an attack,
should be avoided

Hiccough

At some time or other almost eyerv-
one has suffered from the ANNOYING
symptom known as hiccough. Some
people, probably on account of faulty
habits, are frequent sufferers. While
The great majority Of attacks of hic
cough are correctly regarded as moth
ing serious, we occasionally read in
the newspapers of a prolonged attack
OF hiccough having been the cause of
death. The fact that death from this
cause is in itself regarded as news
would apper to indicate that it is COM
paratively rare.
The immediate cause Of hiccoughing
is a sudden contraction of the dia
phragm, the muscular and tendinous
partition between the abdominal and
chest activities. Quite often the at
tacks are brought on by some disorder
of the stomach or intestine caused by
hasty eating or drinking, overeating.
or eating the wrong kinds of foods. 1t
is generally known that overindulg-
ence in alcohol has hiccough as one
of its symptoms.
Most Cases Stop Quickly
Most Of the ordinary attacks of hic-
cough stop spontaneously within a
short period of time. That is, perhaps,
the reason why there are so many
Cures. Whatever happens to have
been done about the time that the
attack ceases receives credit for the
cure. Drinking water, holding the
breath, pulling on the tongue, sneez-
ing, and promoting vomiting by means
of an emetic are among the numerous
cures. Some of these probably have
merit.
While most cases of hiccough are
not serious, attacks that persist for
hours or days may be sign of serious
trouble in addition to being serious in
themselves. They should be treated

CalOric
Requirements
of the Child

hiETITIANS declare that the aver
age boy or girl of four years
should receive about forty calories a
pound of body weight per day. The
average weight of a child Of four years
IS forty pounds. Therefore the total

proximately 1,600 calories. Calory is
merely the name for certain meas
ure of heat derived from the burning
of food
Necessarily, the caloric requirement
OF the child Is dependent on his

l. Is twice week too often to

2. What is the best soap to use?"
Reply. Washing the hair twice

washing. If shampooing leaves the
hair too dry, apply little olive oil or
petroleum to replace some of the oil
that is lost in washing.

Reply-You have either winter itch
or bath itch. The former is attribut-
ed largely to being in an overheated
dry atmosphere. Some skins are SEN
sitive to the frequent use of soap and
water, especially in the cold weather.
Too frequent bathing may cause itch
ing. More moisture in the air of
rooms probably removes the cause of
winter itch. Bran in the bathwater.
less frequent bathing and greasing the
skin, relieve both winter and bath itch

Chevrolet Dealers
To Give DucO Serv-
ice to Motorists

Arrangements whereby the $500
Chevrolet dealers throughout the
country will be enabled to give com
plete Duco service to the motoring
public are now being worked out in
detail with E. l. du Point de Nemours
accompany, according to ]. P. Little
manager of the parts and service di-
vision Of the Chevrolet Motor Co.
Heretofore Duco service has been
available only through the distrib-
utors and refnishing stations of the
du Pont organization. Under the new
plan each Chevrolet dealer will be
equipped to do all classes of Duco
work, from minor 'touch-up' opera
lions to complete refnishing job.
Complete Duco equipment has been
installed in all Of the 20 Chevrolet
service schools in the United States
for the purpose of demonstrating to
every Chevrolet dealer the import
ance of properly equipping his shop
to service Duco.
During the last few months every
Chevrolet service promotion and used
car representative, together with all
Chevrolet parts managers and service
school instructors, have been given
complete courses at the Chevrolet fac
tories In the use of Duco equipment.
Chevrolet dealers may send men
from their service departments to- any
Duco distributor for training in the
application of Duco, and they have
been assured also of the cooperation
of more than so du Pont field service
men.
With installation of equipment,
dealers will be able to re-finish their
used cars for ready resale, to give
quick service on Duco finish to patrons
and to build up good will by their
ability to maintain the appearance of
customers cars.
