America's Part.
Manchester Guardian. )


 The United States Of America played a decisive part in the Great War; whether they will play all equally decisive part in the peace is of the most important questions to which the next fifty years will supply the answer. The future course of European civilization depends upon that answer. That is why the speeches of Am ercan statesmen are scanned this side of the Atlantic with anxious and sometimes critical attention that often seems to the American ob- server to deeenerate into mere querulcusness The Allies in the late taught by President Wilson to expect that America would cooperate in solving the problems of peace closely than has in fact been possible The subsequent process of disillusionment has been almost con- tinuous, and was inevitably of disappoint- ment and sometimes of recrminaton. Neverthe- less the nope has not even yet died out that the United States will some day cooperate with Europe without reserve. The United States have inexhaustible reservoir of economic, moral and political authority If it's full force is brought to bear upon international relations the cause of peace will be safe. But not otherwise. It is not surprising that should look anxousy for. any straw which seems to indicate shifting of the wind to more favorable quarter

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Louis z. Bisch-

HOMA indicates a loss Of con.
~ sciousness. When an in
diyidual is In coma he Is likely
to be in a dangerous state and no
time should be lost in summoming
q physician.
An exception to this, perhaps,
ia the coma following acute alco-
holism. 1t is a typical picture Of
what We think of when an in.
dividual is dead drunk"
I use the word perhaps" ad-
,visedly. however. For not only
may alcohol poisoning prove
serious, especially Ira these days
Of prohibition when the liquor
supply may actually contain death.
dealing drugs, but often an alco.
holic coma is confused with the
coma caused by diabetes, apoplexy,
or some other disease.
Sometimes, too, q person suf-
fering from an apoplectic stroke
or diabetes may just recently
have had a drink. The odor Of
whiskey, therefore, should not
be taken an absolute proof that
the coma under consideration is
due to excessive use Of alcohol.
In acute alcoholism the face
is flushed and the pupils dilated.
Respiration is deep, slow, labor.
ed and noisly. The temperature
Is often below normal, that is
sS.6 Farenheit.
Although Inconsistencies may
be very deep It IL rare that
such an alcoholic cannot be
reused, at least for short time.
In diabetic coma there may be
sudden weakness, shortness OF
breath and a feeling of extreme
sleepiness which gradually slips
into Inconsistencies. Or there
may be an onset with nausea
and vomiting, headache, delirious
talk and great difficulty In breath
ing. a condition referred to in
medical circles az 'satrhunger."
An important point in recog.
nizing diabetic coma is a peculiar
odor OF sweetness to the breath,
although it is not invariably
present.
Uremic coma sometimes sim.
ulates that of diabetes. The
former Is caused by kidney dis
ease.
In uremia unconsciousness may
come on gradually. Sometimes.
however. 1t is more sudden and
is accompanied by actual con.
vulsions.
Apoplectic coma or unconscious
ness sometimes occurs suddenly
and sometimes more gradually.
In this form there Is always a
limb, either an arm or a leg,
which, because OF it's paralysis, is
more flaccid than the other nor.
NAL arm or leg. One notices the
difference between the normal ana
the paralyzed side by lifting the
limb and dropping it. The pala.
lyzed limb has quality of dead
ness" about 1t which is unmis-
taxable.
Epilepsy, of course, is another
common condition in which coma
appears.
In epilepsy there is always
some sort of convulsion accom-.
panying the attack which may
last from few seconds to sew.
eral minutes. Frothing at the
mouth is a frequent accompani-
fnent Of the attacks.
A sunstroke may also show q
coma state. Other diseases. such
as rheumatic fever, typhoid and
certain brain and nerve disorders
may develop coma in their course.
I repeat, whenever coma exists
the patient may be III a most
serious condition and medical aid
! must not be delayed. AZ
