The greatness of the tribute which is being accorded him, is attested in a measure, by the fact that the presi- dent of the United States has left the nations capitol, to join with hundreds of other famous Ameri- cans in paying just homage to the inventor of the electric light.
 '[t is fitting that we pause on this day, and consider the remark able attributes that make up the great character of Thomas A.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

=
nERsoNs past middle life often
1 are affected BY what they call
rheumatism.
Sometimes these pains come on
at long Intervals. Sometimes lhey
occur more Or less continually.
The pain Is in the joints and
there is q degree Of stiffness
present. The attack may become
SO severe that the involved joints
are red and swollen and tender 10
pressure.
Several painful joints are the
rule, The rheumatic symptoms.
however. may recur again ana
again In 4 shoulder, or hip OF
knee.
Rheumatic pains sometimes per-
slst as chronic and annoying
aching sensation. There may also.
be occasional twinges which are
sharp but quickly disappear.
Although rheumatism OF this
persistent variety should not be
considered dangerous disorder.
years OF It may produce incurable
changes in the joints themselves,
such as enlargement and pernlaa-
ent stiffness and decreased move
ment.
Medical science does not yet
know as much about rheumatism
as Ii would like TO know.
Poisons In the blood ana tbs
sues, an acid condition. may lie
causatfve factors. Undoubtedly
exposure to damp and cold Is
direct cause but exactly what this
does to the joints in inflaming
them, Is not altogether clear.
Certainly persons who are sub
Ject to rheumatic attacks should
avoid exposure and. il possible,
climates which are too severe
and changeable.
Moving into q warm climate
from q cold one often prevents
the regular rheumatic attacks.
Electrical treatment does little
good as u rule. Baking and heat
{ are often valuable. Great benefit
may be had, too from wrapping
the painful part IN cold, wet
cloths, around which flannel is
wrapped and ON the outside OF
this, again, oiled silk. Those who
can afford 1t find relief very often
by regular visits to such watering
places ais Hot Springs. Arkansas.
or Hot Springs. Virginia. Any 10.
cality given hot, alkaline baths
is desirable.
Various forms of what Is known
as counter-irritation may also
help. Rubbing ia 4 strong lini.
ment and binding the part with
flannel Afterwards may reduce
the pain.
And then. Of course there is In
ternal medication which only
physician should prescribe.
1t is unwise to be disdainful of
rheumatic pains. even IL they oc-
cur only occasionally and are not
severe.
A thorough physical examina.
tion should be undergone In any
case. Bad teeth may be responsi.
BILE, or tonsils which are diseased.
The diet may also be al fault.
It Is best not to treat symptoms
as they arise and be satisfied. Bet
ter to find out, lf possible, what
is at the bottom Of the trouble.
Rheumatism such as I am talk
ing about should not be confused
with rheumatic fever. This usu-
ally attacks children and young
people. may occur in epidemics,
gives rise TO high fever, marked
involvement Of the joints, and
often leaves weak heart in its
wake.
