EARACHE TROUBLES MUST
HAVE EXPERT DIAGNOSIS
Nothing Should Be Poked in Ears by Persons Trying
to Determine What Causes the Pain

looks into the canal will see the
s--'elling partially blocking the view
down to the ear drum, and he can ap-
ply antiseptic substances to interfere
with the growth Of the germs, hot
applications to soothe the pain and
tenderness, and finally he can punc-
ture or lance the boil to expedite the
removal Of its contents.
In the meantime, it Is well to re-
member that the boil begins where
the skin has been broken or irritated,
and that any manipulation Of the
canal for the removal Of wax or the
use of any hard instrument inside
the canal may be the first step to-
ward the formation Of q boil.
The second and more frequent
cause Of earache is infection behind
the ear drum. This usually occurs
from extension Of infection in the
throat through the eustachian tube.
This tube connects the back Of the
nose with the middle ear. Forced
blowing Of the nose forces the infec-
tious matter from the back Of the
nose into the ear. Then comes the
hardness of hearing, the swelling,
the pain, the fever, and all of the
symptoms associated with ear infec-
ton. The expert who looks into the
ear will see the ear drum red, swol-
len and bulging. In order to prevent
the extension of the infection to the
mastoid, with the development Of
mastoditis, it may be necessary to
puncture the ear drum and thus to
permit the infectious material to
come out. This will not, of course,
cause permanent injury to the hear
ing, provided the puncture is made
soon enough to prevent destruction
and damage of the important tissues.

Presidential Primaries
New York Times


In four months from now Repub-
licans and Democrats who intend to
seek the Presidential nominations at
their party conventions in June must
undergo the first test of their popu-
larity. Nominating petitions for Illi-
nois's primary, held in April, must
be filed early in February. Two weeks
later those who seek the preference
Of Ohio must personally make a dec
laration of their candidates.; and
those wishing to be delegates must do
the same. This requirement under
the Ohio law is what has most con-
cerned friends of ex-Secretary Baker
to whom the states Democratic pref
erence is conceded If he will but ex-
press a wish to have It, But that
would make him an active candidate
and thus far there is no indication on
Mr.. Bakers part that he is willing
to be one.
Since Simon Michelet, in 1928, pub
lished his pamphlet of Presidential
primaries, there have been no changes
in the state laws with respect to these.
He listed nineteen states which by
the primary method can elect dele
gates and alternateS to the national
conventions. but only fifteen OF these
vote directly for Presidential candi-
dates. In Alabama and Florida the
party committee may designate either
the primary or the convention meth
cd for the choice of delegates. In
New York only the district delegates
are chosen in the primary; the dele
gates-at-large are appointed. But
either by choosing a set Of delegates
pledged to a particular candidate, or
by voting for the candidates direct
the following states, beginning IN
March, 1882, will decide their Presi-
Dental preferences: New Hampshire
North Dakota dn March,; Michigan
Wisconsin, New York, Illinois, Ne
braska, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and Ohio dn ApriD; California, Mary
land, Indiana, New Jersey, Oregon
West Virginia and South Dakota I'm
May. Since there is no doubt OF
President Hoover's denomination by
/ the Republicans, interest will center
! in the Democratic primaries and the
| strength shown in them by Governor
! Roosevelt.
In February he, too. must become
an open candidate. though, should
Mr.. Baker declare in Ohio, Mr.. Roose-
yelt may decide not to contest the
issue there. But early in March ne
must meet similar requirement from

viously done So will be an avoWec

and diversified. Indiana, for instance
requires majority" in the primary
before preference is held to be ex'
