Editorial Comment
A HERO

The Kirkwood hotel fire in Des MONIES early one
morning q few weeks ago brought death to a half dozen
people and injuries to thirty or forty others, but bad as
it was. the casualty list would have been greater If Tom
Mayberry. a negro porter, had not been there.
Tom was one Of the first to discover the fire. and
after turning. in an alarm kept his head and proceeded
to arouse the guests. Despite warnings of danger, he
carried or led q score of dazed and frightened men and
women down ladders or through smoke-filled halls to
safety.
Des Moines papers printed columns about him and
his heroic conduct, and a short time later a dinner was
given him by appreciative citizens who. at the conclusion
of many verbal tributes, gave him a medal.
That was fine, but it now appears that Tom needed
something more than fine words and a medal to support
himself and his family. A Des Moines paper reported
this week that since the fire tie hero has been unable to
find work. and that he and his family have been on the
verge Of restitution. So a campaign is now on to
find Tom q job.
From this distance 1t would seem that a man with the
self-possession and courage Of this negro porter would
be mighty useful for any firm.

CAUSES CONSTIPATION

WHAT CAUSES CONSTIPATION
A railroad train Is supposed to be
run on schedule. The same Is true
Of the intestinal contents. Normally,
q meal placed in the stomach should
reach the small intestiueS In about
four hours, the hepatic flexure Of the
large colon In six hours, the splenic
flexure In nine hours, and the begin
ming Of the pelvical colon in about
twelve hours. A complete evacuation
OF the remainder should occur In
from fourteen to twenty hours. How
ever. With many people. evacuation
does not occur until twenty,four to
thirty-six hours after . meal has been
ingested, and, In some cases, several
days may intervene. And delay In
the passage Of the intestinal contents
Is termed constipation, whether oc-
curing in the duodenum, ilium,
colon o. in the rectum.
Many people appear to haye . good
daily evacuation, and do not con-
slider themselves troubled with con-
stipation. but the trouble is that the
passage may be two Or three days
later than 1t should be and during
this time toxins or putrefaction may
be absorbed. Some Of the principal
causes Of constipation are:
/. A weakness Of tho contfactive
muscles around the intestineS which
serve the purpose Of pushing the con.
tents forward.
2. An insufficient amount Of
roughage or cellulose in the diet.
3. Disregarding the impulse to de-
faecate.
4. The habitual use of cathartics.
5. Irritating substances In the diet
causing . spasm Of the intestinal
muscular fibres.
6. Diseases, adhesions, or mal-poSi-
tons Of the stomach or intestines.
Z. Anemia, neuristhenia, hysteria,
acute fevers and diseases Of the
liver.
The X-ray is Of inestimable value
In diagnosing the exact cause Of on
stipatton and in determining which
portion Of the intestines Is affected.
A meal may be watched from the time
1t enters the mouth until the residue
is excreted. II the delay should be
caused by Z kink, as In the ilium, /
this can be readily ascertained. The
normal points Of weakness at which
kinks may occur are in the latter
third Of the ~duodenurn, the ilium, and
tho splenic flexure Of the colon. The
usual parts where dilation or muscu-
lar weakness may occur are about the
iliocecal valve and the caecum near
the appendix, the ascending colon,
and the portion Of the sigmoid flex.
ure just above the rectum, where the
feces, having become hard, are natur-
ally more difficult to expel.
The local pressure Of accumulated !
feces may also produce piles, ulcera-
ton Of the colon, fistulas, enteritis. |
or even = complete stoppage. This
pressure may also interfere with the
function Of the other organs Of the
pelvis, and undoubtedly causes many
Of the heavy. drowsy feelings ordi-
narily accompanying constipation.

mi PAPER
lBy Alice hudson pealel

ny Alice J0000n fe3le)
Crayons and paper are good play
materials for little children. But
more than any other material they
tend to be misused by both adults
and children.
II crayons r placed among the
child's other playthings they are
likely to be put to all sorts Of uses
besides the one for which they were
designed. The young child Is apt to
treat them as he does other small
objects. simply as things to be carried
about from place to place, to be put
into boxes and baskets and taken
out again.
They become broken and stepped on
and finally r scorned rs m most
things that have been subjected to
misuse.
The difficulty can be overcome by
keeping crayons and paper out Of
reach and by bringing them out only
when they are asked for by the
child. If, when he makes this re-
quest, We put the crayons before him
on the table, he will use them for the
legitimate purpose Of marking the
paper. AS soon as he is through we
should put them away.
Crayons and paper are, however,
more misused by adults than by
children. Adults r always asking,
what are you drawing?" or offering
suggestions such as: If that is q dog,
he ought to have a tail" why don't
you use blue? Blue would look nice
with the green"
We should suggest to little children
neither subject matter nor technique,
nor should we ask them for explana-
tions of their scribbles. When we
demand an Interpretation from the
child we are, in fact, requesting q
justification for what he has done.
Usually he responds by telling us that
his scrawl is q picture Of the first
thing that comes to his mind.

A LITTLE GIRL
A skinny little girl Of II was
brought by an American Federation
of Labor organizer to washington to
appear before some senators and tell
how she worked 60 hours q week for
$4.95. Jennie Green was only n Of
a group OF several textile workers
from the Carolina mills. There were
men and women, mothers with ba-
bieS, and other little girls and boys
like Jennie. The organizer had the
right idea with his use Of human ma
terial to make vivid abstract condi-
lions. II the Jennies ever earn more
than their $4.95. It will be because
Of the appeal Of flesh and blood to
those who can right wrongs.

That best seller, "Sorrell and Son"

the charms of the inn pictured

The fact that this new chain of
modern quaint old inns will have
about the same relationship to the

tured antique highboy has to one
found in some ante Bellum Colonial
