IN NEW YORK

New York, Aug. Am air of inn
piled suspicion hangs heavily over
those famous gem shops in Fifth
Avenue, where millions in baubles
are stored.
Even a none-too-timid soul, like
myself, gets the uncomfortable feel
ing that it would be infinitely easier
to rob safe than, for instance, to
arrange for an inspection of the
cheapest of wares in such place.
The glance one gets from the pro-
prietor of speakeasy is as nothing
to the sense of discomfort expert
enced at the very doorway to these
castles of baubledom.
At one celebrated gem shop which
l have in mind, the door is opened
by a page who Immediately rings q
small bell. Whether or not this is

such unworthy clay.
BY this time you have been "put
in your place." You look back to
see if any avenue of escape is open.
It's too late. The darkened door is
closed. The page is guarding it. If
you turned to run, you have the
feeling that private detectives
would pop Up from every corner and
the severe looking attendants would
turn out to be two-gun Johnnies.
You are hurried into a little back
room that resembles variously an
unplumbed Mushroom and q store
room. The room is tiled and
marbeled, but it has a sloppiness
about it that makes you feel more
at home.
You're now backstage in one of
the nations most reputable dia-

much unlike a thousand other back
rooms you've been in. So there is
disillusion just around the corner

You explain your mission. You
mention that you were a newspaper
man once yourself, but since enter

made mistake. You now know
full we'll that you're merely an in
sect of grain Of dust in disguise.
You are not interested in buying q

have difficulty swinging a decent
lunch. You're almost willing to
match the gentleman in the frock
coat for two-bits to settle whether
you eat hearty lunch or none at
all. You explain further that you
were just passing by and, being in
the business Of curiosity just
stepped in. Now that you've stepped
in you'd just as soon step out, but
you'd just as soon they didn't search
you at the door.

EXCESSIVE BOWEL ELIMINA.
Tf0N

The most frequent cause of acute
diarrrhea, or looseness of the bow
els, is an intestinal poisoning from
improper food, which is so offensive
or irritating that the intestines en-
deavor to empty themselves as rap
idly as possible. These frequent
bowel movements are simply natures
method Of trying to rid the body Of
some particularly offensive SUBJ
stance, and the treatment should as
sist the body in this respect.
Diarrhea is usually accompanied
BY painful cramps and severe strain
ing. The bowel movements are
loose, liquid, and sometimes tinged
with blood. Some cases have bile
present. There is some fever pres
ent which is sometimes so slight as
to escape notice. The patient is con-
stantly under the apprehension that
there is something in the bowel
which should be discharged.
The discharge of so much liquid
produces a feeling of weakness and
enervation. This is because the body
uses the serum of the blood to sup
ply the liquid to the bowels. If the
body loses too much vitality in this
process the disease may terminate
fatally.
Diarrhea is always caused by, or
associated with, an inflammation of
some portion of the intestines. The
treatment should not simply mean
stopping the discharge, which might
lead to serious after effects. The
patient should be encouraged to
drink as much water as possible to
wash out the poisonous material. A
small amount of fruit Juice may be
added. Hot abdominal packs will
sometimes give relief. and warm enc
mas should be used which may be
followed by an injection of a small
amount of cold water.
Diarrhea may almost always be
stopped within few moments by the
proper pressure upon the spinal
nerves affecting the intestines. But
do not advise this except as an
emergency in cases of extreme weak
ness.
Dysentery is a severe form Of d.
arrhea in which certain types of
amoeba are present. The treatment
is similar to the treatment of simple
diarrhea, except that longer time
may be required for a cure. Some
drugs such as arsenic and mercury
will produce assevere diarrhea in sus-
ceptible people. A sudden fall ir
temperature will sometimes produce
diarrhea in adults, who have toxic
blood stream. This is because the
perspiration caused by the warn
weather is stopped by the cold wave
and lack Of elimination Of toxins
throws an additional work on the in.
testines.
Children are more susceptible tt
diarrhea in warm weather, possibly
because they do not require as much
food as they do in cold weather, and
because they are more apt to ust
food that has become spoiled by thu
: heat.
Sometimes serious diseases are &C
companied by diarrhea during Their
progress. Some of them are cholera
pyemia, blood poisoning. anemia
cancer, typhoid fever, Addison's dis
ease, sclerosis of the liver and tn
