Since the establishment Of the German republic
or disputes have been settled summarily. exPedient
ly by arbitration courts. But last week sucn cour'

tration The court awarded them increase smaller
than demanded but satisfactory TO the petitioners
The employers however fatty refused to comply WITH
this decision.
To the support Of the challenged court came Herr
Rudolf Wissel minister of labor insisting to the en-
blowers tina. they must honor the arbtral award
Unrnoved, the employers repeated their refusal 70

locking cut nearly 100000 laborers.

LOCOMOTOR ArAXIH

Locomotor ataxia is the popular
name for : group Of diseases OF the
spinal cord, usually meaning tables
dorsalis or posterior spinal sclerosis,
a chronic disease Of the spinal cord
caused by hardening or degeneration
Of its posterior tracts.
The cause of locomotor ataxia is
considered by most authorities to be
an Infection by the spirochaeta pal
Ida. although some Investigators
have suggested that the present day
method of saturating the blood with
mercury is in some cases the real
cause Of the degeneration Of the
spinal cord.
The first symptoms are short stab
bling neuralgia-like pains darting
from place to place in the extremi-
ties and lower back. although they
may occur in any part of the body.
These pains may be accompanied by
hot burning sensation and severe
pain from pressure. numhness of the
feet, tingling. sometimes a sense OF
construction about the waist, and a
loss Of the knee jerk reflex.
As the disease progresses there
are pronounced disorders of the
bladder, failing yision-sometime
leading to blindness, difficulty in
walking. severe gastric attacks, the
le-Robertson pupil. and oc-
casionally paralysis of the eyelids.
AS the disease becomes still more
progressed. the patient develops
difficulty or inability to stand or
walk with the eyes closed. While
the difficult gait is usually the most
pronounced symptom, there are a
few cases where this difficulty does
not appear at any time, but in these
cases destruction Of the optic nerve
lblindness) practically always re-
suits.
Locomotor ataxia is slow in de-
veloping and rarely causes death.
Six or eight years may intervene
from its inception before walking
becomes very difficult, and even
after being confined hopelessly to
bed the patient may live for from
Is to 20 years.
Tabes in children sometimes occurs
as the result of congenital disease.
There may be general symptoms as
with tables Of adults, but as a rule
the sight is most frequently affected.
Since the cause of this disease
appears to be a hardening of the
posterior columns of the spinal cord
from some virulent toxin having
special affinity for those delicate
nerve structures. a cure should aim
at the removal Of these toxins from
the body. The earlier a cure is at

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Insomnia

Question: Mrs. Mary L. writes
Il have suffered with nerves through
worry. and it has left me with in
somnia. This has lasted nearly a
year.
Answer: One Of the best ways
to cure insomnia is to take plenty
Of physical culture exercises and
also take long walks each day be-
tween the hours of three and five
in the afternoon. Start walking
one mile daily and gradually increase
the distance until you walk four or
five miles. Your muscles will tenn
porarily be relaxed after this walk
and YOU will be able to sleep with
out any difficulty. However. you
should also avoid any food which
produces an excessive amount Of
stomach or intestinal gas, as this gas
will often distress you enough to
keep you from sleeping. Send large
self addressed stamped envelope and
l will gladly mail you some illustTa-
tions of exercises which will help
your condition.
Tie Carbon
Question: What kind of a veg
etable is a cardoon? Are there any
special methods of growing or pre-
pairing them -
Answer: The cardoon is a plant
closely related to the French arti-
choke and is considered by many
authorities to be the same plant
slightly changed through the process
Of selection and cultivation. The
plant is first blanched either in the
field or under glass-covered pots.
The midrib on the leaf is the part
used. They may be cooked like any
ordinary vegetable or served in
salads stewed and cooked. It has an
agreeable flavor Of its own. The
most valuable of these plants are
those with the thickest midribs.
Heartburn and waterbrash
Question: j. asks: Will you
please tell me a diet suitable for
heartburn and waterorash ?"
Answer: Heartburn and water
brash can be cured by living on the
proper food combinations, and avoid
ing the use Of an excessive amount
Of food. Over-eatipg must be cited
as one Of the principal causes of
these troubles. Continue to study
my articles each day and you will
soon learn how to combine your foods
properly so they will not form in
compatible mixtures.
