SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

TLECTRICITY for the cure of
- certain diseases or for the
betterment OF their symptoms
has been employed by medical
men for years.
Many varieties OF electrical cur
rents. wave currents. static elec.
tricity, galvanic currents, etc,
etc. until now machines are on
the market for medical use which
offer a wide possibility for diff
ferent kinds OF therapy.
Goiters. joint inflammations,
Eangrenous conditions, lumbago,
sprains, ulcers, paralyzed nerves,
waste,i and degenerated muscles,
intestinal sluRgishness, skin hlem-
ishes, genealogical conditions,
nose and throat diseases, neural
gias-these are hut few of the
organic disorders for which some
form OF electrical current may be
used.
In nervous affections of a func-
tional type, such as insomnia, ina
hility to relax. general nervous
ness, pains and aches in various
parts of the body. palpitation,
pains in the throat. and host of
likewise be of value.
1t should be emphasized. how.
ever that no person should take
electrical treatment without first
making sure what his trouble IS.
The indiscriminate use as we'll
as desire for electrical treatments
Is to be deplored.
Furthermore. the patient should
realize that a thorough knowledge
of various electrical currents and
what they do to the system is
necessary if beneficial results are
to be hoped for.
Electricity was really first EN-"
ployed in medicine in connection
with nervous diseases.
In these early days its use was
most crude and much Of it was
guesswork.
Nowadays, however, not only
are a variety of currents in use,
but the whole subject of electro
therapy is founded upon a much
firmer scientific basis.
Letters are often written to me
by persons asking whether elec.
tricity would benefit such and
such condition.
Electricity often can do much
good in proper hands and after a
definite diagnosis of the trouble
is made.
But electricity should not be
used in hit and miss way for
any old ailment, no matter what II
may be, nor should one harboI
the most fallacious idea that elec
triCity Is a cure-all.
1t is true that nerve energy
behaves more like an electrica
current than anything else. 1t is
also true that every organ ana
every tiniest piece of tissue is
somehow linked up with a nerve
This does not mean, though
that electricity can substitute
nerve impulses in every case, nor
even stimulate the nerves to bet
ter functioning.
What electricity may he able tc
accomplish should be determined
by the physician always and never
by the individual himself.
Even self-treatment with cleo
tricity may be beneficial If the
right kind of current for the
right kind of ailment has beer
definitely determined.
Electrical treatment Is really
no more mysterious than any
other form of treatment.
want to repeat. it may bt
most helpful in proper hands.
One hears patients condemninl
electrical applications as we'll a,
praising hem.
.' Ofen the reason for disappoint

pated which were not justified by
the facts Of the case.

 PE NSION BILL.

Now Goes to House for Ac- tion-Dimond Moves to
 Force Out Measures

The Senate this morning passed Dimond's bill creating a Teachers Pension System and providing for a self-supporting fund to defray expenses thereof. The vote was six to two, Senators Steel and Anderson voting mo-
 Senator Steel, the only member to talk on the bill, in a single sen tenee explained his reasons for cp- position, declaring he believed the system would be more of a detri- ment than an aid to the education al system of the Territory. The measure now goes to the House for action.
 DimOnd Wants Action
 Moving that two bills be reported before tomorrow morning from committees having them in charge, Senator Dimond gave notice he would make every effort in his power to bring a number of meas ures back to the floor where they can be considered and to prevent them from being held in commit tee until it is too late. A motion to instruct the Committee on Educa- tion to report House Bill No. 2, creating Territorial Boying Com was carried without vppo- sition He then moved that House

 This measure was held ir the Committee on Education for 20 days, and was yesterday referred to the Committee on Finance, Senator Sundquist, Chairman. It carries an appropriation of $17000 for a new schoolhouse at Kodiak. Sena- tor Sundquist was not in the Sen ate when the motion was made, but Senator Frame, member of the Committee also, said he was sure the measure would be reported at once and favorably.
 Gives Notice
 Senator Dimond recited tha t doubt as to the validity of large number of bills had been raised because they failed to reach the Governor before the Legislature ad- journed in 1927. He warned that all indications pointed to such a jam of work at the end of the cur rent session that. it would be p'lysi- cally impossible for the clerical forces of the two Houses to get all bills in shape for the Governors approval.
 And it is possible, he added that the chairmen of some of the com mittees have in mind killing cer- tain measures by allowing them to remain in their committees without "They undoubtedly have ! legal right to do this, if they de- sire to do so. But I have 3 re- sponsibility to my constituents and shall exert every effort to have such measures as I am interested in brought back to the floor for due consideration, he said.

C. OF C. HOST TO VISITORS AT. NOON LUNCHEON
Guests Tell of Activities in Interior and Boost In-
 ternational Highway

At the regular weekly luncheon of the Juneau Chamber of Com merce today the body was host to several visitors. Among the new faces to be seen at the table were: o. G. Cochran, Nome attorney and legal representative for the Fair banks Exploration Company; o. J. Eggleston, Manager of the Fair banks Exploration Company; Henry Burgh, Nome Representative from the Second Division; Babe" Hayes, called "Alaska's Goodwin Ambas- sador.' and E. A. Rasmuson, head of the Bank of Alaska.
 After the routine reading of the Executive Committee report Presi- dent Faulkner introduced MT. Cochran who told of some of the work of the Fairbanks Exploration Company and how that organiza- tion has caused to be reopened old gold workings and revived activity at several gold camps, that for many years were idle. He stated the company, which he represents, through the expenditure of large sums of money, had revived the Fairbanks camp and further, that the country will, for great many years to come, continue to yield gold. A like situation was brought about in the Nome country, he said, largely through the huge out laying of money by the Fairbanks Exploration Company and Nome will continue to be a large pro Gucer of Alaskan gold.
 New Mining Methods
 The reviving of activities in these famous old producing areas, MT. Cochran explained, was due to new mining methods that make it pos sible to Itework ground that older methods failed to yield fair re- turn for the costly operations.
 MT. Eggleston, Manager of the Fairbanks Exploration Company, told of the general healthy state of affairs in the Interior and spoke an optimistic note when he stated that the civic bodies in the West ward and Interior towns were ready at all times to fully cooperate with the Juneau Chamber and all other civic organizations in their efforts in building up the Territory.

 E. O. Rasmuson, head of the Bank of Alaska, confined his short time to boosting the proposed h. ternational Highway. The highway, he said, would do more to further open up the Territory than all other agencies combined
