CURING RUPTURE

As / explained in yesterdays
article, an inguinal hernia is caused
mainly by the weakness of the alb
dominal muscles and the fact that
they cannot properly retain an un-
usual pressure due to intestines
either distended from food or gas,
or which have prolapsed so low in
the abdomen as to make heavy
burden upon the weakened walls Of
the lower abdomen.
If the hernia has not progressed
too far there is q possibility of a
cure through first the development
Of the abdominal muscles and, at
the same time, a reduction of the
internal pressure.
AS soon as a hernial sack begins
to show itself either by symptoms
of pain or through being discovered
by palpation, it is wise for the pa
tient to Immediately secure a good
rupture support and wear it con-
stantly until he is assured by his
doctor that the cure is complete.
The next thing to do is to start
developing the abdominal muscles
through taking a careful course Of
"settirg-up' exercises. All of those
exercises taken while lying on the
back will be helpful. Any book on
physical culture will explain these
exercises, or I will be glad to send
you special chart Of them if you
will write to me in care of the
Tribune.
These exercises must be taken
very carefully at first and used at
least twice daily, gradually increas-
ing the exercises each day and
adding new ones as the strength of
the abdominal muscles permits.
At the same time as the support
is applied and the exercises started,
patient should Use all measures nee
essary to produce as flat an abb
domen as possible. The quantity
of food used must be kept to the
minimum of the body's require
ments. All especially gas-forming
foods such as onions, cooked cab
bage, etc., should be carefully
avoided. Only good food combina-
tions should be used, such as those
I suggest in the weekly menus
which are printed each Saturday in
this column. The menus are always
outlined for the following week.
Watch for them and learn how to
combine your foods.
1t is a good plan to take at least
one enema each day and perhaps
better to take two, one in the morn
ing and one in the evening. using
only one quart Of plain water each
time. The enema should be taken
in the knee-chest position or while
lying on the back, and the rupture
support should be worn at the same
time to prevent any undue pressure
which NAV be caused by the tenn
,orcry distention of the intestines
by the water used for the enema.
These enemas should be continued
for several weeks or even several

Hoover in Ohio and Ind ana


| If presidential primaries are any good at
all, it is to give free field for the expression
of individual dsires But if favorite son is
put forward in some state having presidential
primaries, and all other candidates. through
courtesy or fear of starting fractional fight,
stay out Of that state, then the whole purpose
Of the presidential primary is nullifed.
The managers of the Hoover campaign have
decided to enter their candidate in at last two
states that have been staked out as the per-
sonal and private claims of favorite sons. This
has been done, no doubt, with the full consent
and approval of MIR. Hoover himself
There will thus be primary contests in In
diana as well as in Ohio. The individual Re-
publican voter will have chance to say wheth.
er he is willing to have his state delegation
tied up in neat package and presented to Sem
ator Watson in one case and Senator Willis
in the other, to do with as they will
1t has required courage to make this dec-
sion, because other candidates have elected to
stay out Of Indiana and Ohio in the expecta
ton Of profiting as second choice, when Sen
ator Watson and Senator Willis put their bunch
of votes on the political market at Kansas
City. The entry of Mr.. Hoovers name in
these states means abandonment of any hope
to profit by later accession of delegates whom
either favorite son can control.
But the Hoover strategy is sound, because
it is frank and above board. It will determine
how many Republican voters in these two
states prefer Hoover, despite the favorite son
jugglery. In each state it appears that there
is strong and pervasive Hoover sentiment.
Full voice is now to be given to this. If it
proves that majority of the Ohio delegation,
or even gOOd-sized minority, are chosen from
the Hoover list on March "a, that will give
the Hoover movement strong impetus. And
if in May the Indiana delegation should be TAX
en- away from Senator Watson, lit must go as
a unit under the Indiana law the nomination
of Hoover at Kansas City would be all but
certain
The Hoover managers are wise to come GU;
in the open and try for these results. They
have far more to gain than lose. The Re-
publican masses the country over are in no
mood for dark horse legerdemain at Kansas
City. They want real peoples choice.

ing the election laws established by
Americans. DR.. Cosmo de la Fer.
rlente, once pres dent of the League
Of Nations, and Enrique Jose Va
roma were among those who band.
ed together to protest various
abuses, but Machado sent his army
after them.
Machado and his Congress are
having their terms extended two
more years.
Freedom of the press. as IN Italy,
has been abolished. Many opposi-
ton newspapers have been sup
pressed.
Editors have been assassinated-
Armando Andre and Antonio Lopez
were two. Others have been jailed,
deported or forced to flee the coun-
try.
Thanks to the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, atrocities against
Cuban labor leaders have gained
considerable publicity. Many OF
these leaders have been mysteriously
murdered, others have disappeared
under suspicious circumstances and
many others have been imprisoned.
The A. F. of L. can supply the
names of the victims-and has. It
has been estimated that at least a
hundred of them have disappeared
or been killed. It cannot be proved
legally that the Machado govern
rent encompassed these outrares.
but the victims were its critics.
With the aid Of the army, Machado
suppressed labor unions, with spe-
rial attention to the Brotherhood Of
Railway Employees and the Long
shoremen's Union, which were the
strongest.
Conditions are said to have i'm
proved a little for Cuban labor since
President Green of the A. F. of L,
protested publicly. Ferrara, Cuban
ambassador here, answered Green,
but did not deny the charges.
The Havana University has been
closed twice in the last year be-
cause Of student protests against
Machado's suppression of liberty.
Members Of the Cuban Congress
are kept in line by the granting OF
profitable concessions in the great
lotteries, by which nearly $25, 0O0,-
900 year is said to be raised.

who have been in Washington de.
