Reverse English

(Grand Forks N. D., Herald)
To those who are inclined to take seriously
the outpourings of Mayor Bill Thompson and
others of his ilk regarding British influences,
conspiracies, ETC., in the United States it may
come As something of shock to learn that
somewhat similar ideas are cherished by vari-
Gus British individuals and organizations re-
garding the working of American agencies in
England.
In recent issue of the London Morning Post,
for example, there is an editorial expressing
regret that the course of the British govern
ment in constructions on the rubber output has
been such as to give rise to the rumor "that in
this as in some other matters the government
is obedient to diplomatic pressure from the
United States, country which claims freedom
to restrict the output of it's own commodities
while imposing veto on restrictions by other
countries"
Similarly the Weekly Dispatch, one Of Lord
Rothermeres chain of papers, charges that
there are "leaks" of confidential government in
formation to American business interests.
The British newspapers, to be sure, express
themselves with more moderation than Mr..
Thompson does, but the idea of sinister Amer
lean influence at work in Great Britain is un.
mistakably shown in their utterances, which
from their very moderation of tone are more
| likely to win consideration from thinking
people in England than are the Chicago mayors
diatribes in the United States.

(St. PAIL HiSnatch)

(St. Paul nispatch)
Thomas Edison holds that the farmer grows
too much foodstuffs. He believes the Ameri-
can farmer can grow rubber and other CONNER
cia products from plants hitherto considered
weeds or waste. In his farm garden of nine
acres III Florida Mr.. Edison has planted 1,40O
wild plants. So far more than 80 Of these con-
tain rubber. He finds that at least II Of them
will grow on Southern cotton lands without in
jury by frost. "Goldenrod, plain goldenrod
that grows wild,' says Mr.. Edison, lis one Of
the best sources Of rubber have found"
Contrary to common opinion, rubber is not
the product of any one tree or plant. It is
found in more than 100 different varieties, in
Guiding milkweed, lettuce and poppy. In the
valley of the Amazon the rubber comes from
small trees; in Guiana from large ones; in
Ecuador and Mexico from species of bread
fruit tree; in Assam, Asia, and in Africa from
a fig tree.
Although it has been known for some time
that many American plants contain the latex
or fluid from which rubber is made, cultivation
and extraction have not been considered COM
mercially. If Mr. Edison can make them so, it
will be an achievement not unworthy even so
great genius as he.

A LESSON ON PAIN

Pain is an indication of pressure
or irritation Of nerves. 1t is not
always felt in the exact area in
which the trouble is located, but
pain is a positive indication Of some
disorder.
Pain is supposed to be warning
signal, but the amount of pain is
by no means an indication of the
severity of the disease. Many
simple diseases, like toothache. are
accompanied by excruciating agony,
while some deadly disease like
diabetes, kidney trouble or tuber-
culosis may reach advanced stages
without the sick person being aware
that anything is seriously wrong.
The majority of pains occur in the
abdomen, back and head. BY far
the most frequent pains are caused
by pressure of gas in the colon and
small intestines. This often re-
sembles and has sometimes been
diagnosed as organic disease like
appendicitis, inflammation of the
ovaries, or liver trouble. This gas
will sometimes actually cause suf-
ficient pressure as to make conges-
ton in the neighboring organs.
Almost any case of abdominal
pain can be relieved by drinking
warm water and taking a number
Of warm enemas. But one should
always search out and find the cause
which can usually only be ascer.
tanned by a careful physical
diagnosis.
Tenderness upon pressure is an
indication of inflammation. When
it is superficial, usually only the
surface tissues are involved, but II
the internal organs are affected,
deep pressure may be needed when,
if long continued, will greatly IN
crease the pain.
Hunger pain or pain near the
navel or under the heart is gener-
ally an indication Of gastritis (stom-
ach inflammation). Gas in the
stomach produces an uncomfortable
feeling, but it is hardly possible for
one to retain enough to cause pam
without belching up the surplus.

the right side at the point nearest
the navel may indicate gall blad-
der trouble. If very sharp. asso'
ciated with cramping, it may indl'
cate the passage of a gall stone. al
though / have seen several cases OF
the latter occurring without the alb
dominal cramps.
A congested spleen is hard t.
diagnose, as it is usually asso
ciated with large amount OF gas
in the splenic flexure Of the colon.
Appendicitis pains general,
start in the pit Of the stomach ant
shoot down to the right side, JUS
above the pubic bone. If the pair
is little higher, it is probabl,
caused by gas in the caecum "a par
of the large colon just above thu
appendix).
With women. pain in the Lowest
part of the abdomen is often caused
by ovarian. womb. or bladder con
gestion. Many cases of hackachc
and headache are also produced re
flexly from these disorders.
Pain over the eyes indicates cyl
trouble, sinus inflammation, or con
stipation.
Pain on the top Of the head Otter
