THE FIRST u. s. MINT

THE FIRST U. S. MINT
Today is the anniversary Of the
creation by Congress Of the first
United States mint.
This act, passed April 2, 1892, fol-
lowed closely the suggestions which,
had been made by Alexander Hamil-
ton. His plan was to utilize both gold
and silver as monetary standards. He
recommended that the ratio between
the two be ! to 15-a PROPORTION
based on the bullion values of the
time. He favored coinage Of 80 and
81 gold pieces; 81 and 10 cent silver
pieces, and l cent and Y cent COP
perS.
When the mint act was passed
however, no provision was made for 4
gold dollar. Because Of this omis-
sion. silver coinage advocates later
insisted that the original unit of
value was the silver dollar. It is
usually held now that the word
unit" as used In the mint act. an-
plies to numbers and not to value.
incidentally, the phrase I'm God
We Trust" did not appear on u. s.
coins until 1866. Then, ct the suS-
gestion OF former governor Of
Pennsylvania, James Pollock, this IA
maliar motto was adopted BY congress.

WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THE
T0NGIJE

A coated tongue is found in prac'
tically all acute diseases where there
Is a rise of temperature, but Is MOI
of much value in distinguishing diff.
ferent diseases. Coated tongues Ar(
sometimes found in persons who art
apparently In perfect health. Tit
coating is usually caused by q growth
Of bacteria and becomes more abund.
ant when there Is q lack Of saliva
or when the system becomes less re.
sistant.
Biliousness is often the cause of the
tongue being continually coated, but
il the tongue is only coated in the
morning and clears Oft toward even
ing, it has no diasnostic significance
II the tongue is usually clean, but
suddenly becomes coated, it Is gen.
orally an indication Of some stoppage
Of the digestive tract, either indiges.
ton or constipation.
Much can be learned by the way
the patient puts out the tongue. II
the tongue protrudes very far and Is
slender, the individual Is usually q
neuriSthenic character who Is In the
habit Of examining the tongue fire.
Quently In the looking glass. and is
always looking for digestive symp-
toms. II the tongue trembles, there
may be an indication Of some ner-
vous disorder or of alcoholism. When
the tongue protrudes toward one side

Gates nerve or spinal paralysis.
The color Of the tongue Is some-
times Of value in diagnosing. For
example, bright red color in a per-
son suffering from digestive disturb
ances may indicate q stomach ulcer
A yellowing tinge to the tongue may
indicate jaundicc. A dry, coated
tongue Is often found in uremia, and
q dark brown coat on the tongue may
indicate wasting diseases or pro-
longed fevers.
The tongue is also subject to ulcer
alton from accident or from irrita-
ton BY the teeth. Canker sores also
occur upon the tongues Of people
suffering from acidosis. Cancer and
tuberculosis may also attack the
tongue. and are difficult to dis
tinguish except by microscopical ex-
animation
An enlargement Of the tongue may
occur from tumors or in connection
with a deficiency Of the thyroid
gland, as In either myxedema or ere.
tiniSm.
The tongue is sometimes affected
with smooth hard patches called lin
gual corns, which really are simply
thlckcned skin Of the tongue and may
exist for a long time without causing
pain. They are simply caused by
some Irritation, such as the rubbing
from III fitting plate or the contact
with the end Of a pipe in smokers.
They are dangerous because OF the
possibility of turning into an epithe-
Iona. This condition is called leuk-
oplakia buccalis and resembles psori-
aSiS.

TOO MANY GET OFF JURY DUTY

A SELF SUFFICIENT CHILD
BY ALICE LUDSQN PEALE

Occasionally one meets child who
seems by nature unsociable. 1t is not
that he sl2rinks from the companion
ship of others but that he seems not
TO need it. He is sufficient unto him
self. Usually he is superior in intel
ligence and capable Of complete alb.
sorption in the materials of his soil.
tary play. Such q child has much
to learn of the art of getting on with
his fellows, but only the most shrewd
and tactful handling will help him.
Teddy at the age of four was quite
content to play by himself. In an
effort to make him more sOciable his
mother sent him to kindergarten
where, she thought, he would be
forced to play with other children.
His first weeks in school were spent
in exploiting all the wonderful play
materials which he found there. He
spoke to none of the other children
and was thoroughly happy sliding
down slides. building with the blocks,
playing in the sand. Only when he
struck little girl who inadvertently
crushed his fine sand tunnel, and
WANAA AAS PAoAACA 0AIC00 VI lllS VLEll
for a chance at the swing, did his
teacher interfere and offer sugges-
tions.
One day, however, when a fine
ferry boat game was in progress,
Teddy was observed standing on the
sidelincs with an interested. almost
wistful expression ON his usually pur.
poscful small face. On his own
accord he asked to join. Thereafter
he Joined more and more In games
with the other children, readily be-
coming a leader among them becaus..
of his inventiveness and imagination.
The self sufficient child can be
taught sociability only by being per-
mitted to find out that he cannot
realize himself fully alone, that Ger
tain kinds of fun and adventure only
can be had if one is willing to play
with others and play fair.

WASTE AT ITS WORST


While he was secretary Of commerce, Herbert Hoover

us how to eliminate waste.
The productivity Of factories and tho general eve

There was ono form Of waste. however, that Hoover

In the April issue OF Hygeia the health magazine OF
the American Medical association Donald A. Laird tells
how psychologist recently descended group Of

MALE COMPANY

NAAAA SONV1 AM
After thirty. quite without know
ing it, the great majority of men are
done with love. AS a moving and
controlling force. Love. In reality
after thirty, begins to appear rather
absurd"
So writes Joseph Hergesheimer in
an article telling why he prefers men
as companions to women. His point
seems to be that women, regardless
OF age. continue emphasizing love,
and that no real companionship is
possible with this idea in their sys-
tenn. Possibly. and probably, he is
right, but he is one of TIC few men
who have complained about it.

The bare fact that he was q man put
a glamour upon him and called forth

one OF them ever admired her. Never
