Their Greatest Man-'Dad"

Somewhere in Belleville, N. j.. there are two
extremely fortunate men. Each of these men
has an extremely fortunate son, and the family
of each man is, we feel sure, a mighty happy
one.
4 We don't know the names of any Of these
people, and we have never been in Belleville.
But here's what leads us to make the state
ment written above

were asked, who would you like to be?'' More

Which, we repeat, makes us confident there
are two extremely fortunate men, with fortu-
nate sons and happy families, in Beleville.
i The percentage Of boys who are able to make
their fathers their chief idols is, probably,
about what that poll would indicate-two il,
628. The average man, if he is any sort Of
man, can win the affection of his son, to be
sure; and there is nothing much more soul
filling and heart-warming than the love Of 4
boy for his dad. But generally the son doesn't

and his loyalty; but when his schoo-teachel

though sometimes I do not 60 out

/ Answer: When the skin is very

line it is sometimes an indication Of
the systemic acidosis caused by an
oycracidity of the stomach, but Of
course sometimes it is only due to
exposure because Of the skin being

larger the city the greater its cultural advail,
tages and the more numerous and varied rs
sources of amusement and recreation. For
nlany Of the best things in life the people Of
the smaller communities must go To the big
cities.
But there is also price to pay for the dis
tinction of urban bgness. AS city grows In
size and population its people become more and
pore like so many scurrying ants in dis
turbed ant hill. Homes become tenements
The few blocks between home and place Of en-.
plOyment become miles. Privacy vanishes, the
cost Of living keeps pace with the growth in
population. and even the pure air and quiet ar
taken away.
AS they build higher ard wider let the towns
and cities heed these words Of an official OF
the United States Chamber of Commerce:
"While the existence of town or city de-
Ponds upon business, that existence is not jus.
titled unless the profits of business make life
in that town constantly more and more worth
living"
1t is as important to the community to guard
against the disadvantages of bigness as it is
to strive for bigness, and the place that grows
wisely need not regret it's greater size.

BRICHT'S DISEASE

In yesterdays article ! explained
the cause and cure of acute nephritis
and explained that a rapid recovery
may be expected in this disorder
if simple eliminative measures are
used to aid the overworked kidneys
in recovering their normal functions.
The cure Of chronic nephritis, how
ever, offers many difficulties.
In the chronic form most of the
symptoms are present which are seen
in acute nephritis. There will be
dropsy, and albumin and casts in
the urine. Sometimes, due to the
persistent injury Of the kidneys by
toxins, these organs will enlarge,
but in certain types of nephritis the
opposite occurs and the kidneys be-
come small and hard. In the most
serious form of chronic nephritis
there will be a persistent high blood
pressure, often reaching as high as
$50 to 300 millimeters.
Where the acute form of nephritis
disappears quickly under proper
treatment, the chronic form is a very
serious disorder and requires pro-
longed treatment with diet and other
hygienic measures for correcting the
faulty metabolism and toxic poison
ing which is present. As in the
acute form, the kidneys retain that
which should be thrown out, and
throw out what the blood should
retain.
The treatment with fastiaA and
diet is much the same ir acute and
chronic nephritis, except that in q
chronic form it s. generally neces-
sary to give rne patient a reason
able amoant Of protein in his diet
in ortser to make up for the loss of
albumin which is thrown out in the
drine. The fast should be followed
with a non-starchy and non-protein
dict for three or four weeks, and
then protein ADDED in the form Of
eggs and the more easily digestible
meats, using perhaps one egg daily
and about four ounces of meat pro-
tein.
1t is important to keep up good
skin elimination to relieve the kid
neys Of sol ., of their burden. Sew
eral sponge or shower baths should
be taken each day to keep the pores
Of the skin cleansed. Cold showers
should be used if the skin will react
with q warm glow afterwards. It is
best to use at least one enema daily
as long as there is any albumin
showing in the urine, or as long
as any other symptoms of nephritis
persist. Deep breathing exercises
ST. ould be taken each day, for the
lungs can assist q great deal in
eliminating poisonous gases.
The kidneys must be furnished q
plentiful supply Of water, and large
amounts should be taken frequently
during the day, and even at night
If the patient is awake. In all, one
or two gallons of water should be
used daily.
A milk diet will often prove bene-
fetal in the treatment Of nephritis
or any other kidney disease. Only
two or three quarts of milk daily
should be taken. It is best to use
q glass Of milk eve-y hour, pre-
coded by few drops of lemon juice
which help in the stimulation Of
gastric secretions. This milk diet

Mistakes in Newspa1e rs
princeton, Mimi, Union)

NIFlHCeIOn, Mlnn., OnlOn)
Last week the Union published election re-
turns from eight villages and nine townships
in the county and from five precincts in neigh
boring counties. These returns, numser of
which were received over the telephone, carried
the names OF between 140 and $50 candidates.
Election news which always comes in the day
before publication must necessarily be handled
with much speed. So far as the Union knows
errors were made in the names of two candi-
dates. Possibly there were more mistakes, and
II there We're not, it would be very surprising.
If there were no other errors, that is an eff
cheney record of 1896 per cent.
The Union has no apology to offer for maxi
ing errors in those two names and it is happy
to state that reasonable individuals need no
explanation. Names that go into the a7erare
newspaper are handled by at least four per-
sons from the time they are received in the
office until they appear in print. With the
chances for four persons to make errors on be-
tween 14O and $50 names, report of only two
mistakes would be a record in which any news
paper might well take much pride.
Individuals who are working in newspaper
office are not perfect-they are liable to make
occasional mistakes like other human beings
II they were perfect they would have a mighty
lonesome time in this world because they would
find no other perfect human beings with whom
to associate.
The Union in one issue handled approximately
800 names. If persons who have tendency
to become unduly excited if wrong letter
appears in a name would stop to consider their
own batting average. they would not be sur
prised if they occasionally see an error in some
name published in a newspaper.
Newspapers go to press with the proof read
ers knowing that errors will appear, but the
publication is newspaper and not history,
and there is not time to check until the last de-
tail is correct.
A good example of the accuracy which the
average city daily can afford to work for in
listing news was furnished on Monday evening
by the Minneapolis Journal, one Of the leading
newspapers Of the northwest. The Journal in
printing the names Of the eight delegates that
Mile Laos county is sending to the state con-
vention managed to get five Of the names cor
rect, and the list of names was furnished in
typewriter cory. "Axel Anderson" appeared
as Peter Anderson < "Silas Lund" as "A.
Lund" and lotto Haggberg' as r. Hagberg."
And We will Be willing to wager handsome
sum that no linotype operator ~ proof reader

London Fog

The London fog is up against it. The charge
brought against it is not that it resembled pea
soup but that it costs money. In three years
there have been q days of real fog, which
caused the buses to lose 434,457 miles. A
lost mile can never be recovered and each lost
mile represents lost transportation for great
number of persons.
Not only is this grave assertion of malicious
interruption to traffic brought against the
London fog, but it's character is assailed. It's
thumb prints have been taken; it's makeup
analysed. The experts declare it to be nothing
more nor less than soot-laden white mist, SO
heavy that the cold higher atmosphere can't
support it, and down it comes to the warm earth
like blanket. Gradually the heat dissolves
the mist, but not the SCOT which remains as q
gratuitous contribution to the real estate OF
London.
When there is no mist to convert the descend.
ing SCOT into fog, the SCOT comes down by itself
and, with other deposits, forms coating OF
dirt. From these explorations it is decided to
focus public energy on the expulsion of SCOT
from London. If this is achieved the London
grounding will disappear.
It seems as though some one might have
thought Of that before.
