WHAT TO DO FOR BLACK EYES

WHAT TO DO FOR BLACK EYES
Once In awhile the newspapers
print the picture Of a famous person
who has been given a black eye IN q
fistic encounter. For example. a lot
Of free publicity was given a girl be-
longing to q noted sister team and al
50 to the mother Of a we'll known
female evangelist on account OF black
eyes. While q black eye. IN q case
like this. may be worth thousands OF
dollars In damage suits or free public
ity, the majority Of people are unable
to profit BY black eyes. In many
cases, the ridicule which lasts as long
as the eye IS discolored is much more
painful than the injury itself.
Nature endeavored to protect the
eye with q bony defense consisting Of
the cheekbone and the bone under the
eyebrow, so that q blow aimed for the
eye is apt to strike q hard bone in
stead Of the soft part Of the eye. Over
this hard bony defense is laid a rich
supply Of blood vessels and also q
supply Of soft tissues and skin. When
the tissues and skin over the bony
ridges are struck forcibly, the small
blood vessels are mashed between the
bone and the outer covering. Thus the
blood vessel walls are damaged and
the blood seeps out into the nearby
tissues.
A black and blue eye is just like a
bruise. It is painful when touched,
may throb, and the length of time 1t
may exist depends upon the extent
Of the injury. The best thing to do
when you have received a blow upon
the region Of the eye is to use cold
applications as soon as possible and
continue them for the first hour. II
you r unable to treat the eye with
cold until it is already discolored,
then S hot applications for a half
hour at q time, applying them as often
as four or five times a day, as this
will assist in taking down the swell
ing and reducing the congestion. Cold
water, when used right away is of
value in lessening the amount Of
blood which oozes in under he skin
from the capillaries. The old stand
by was raw beefsteak: however, I am
sure that you will find cold water
applications will do more good.
1t is not usually advisable to drain
the blood by piercing the skin, as in
lection may result unless great care
is used. After three days, II the dis
persists, the eye may be
gently massaged with cold cream.

No Clemencv

During the past two years Governor William H. Adams
Of Colorado has not once utilized his prerogatiye of ex-
ecuttve clemency, according to the governors own state
ment to the Colorado general assembly.
Governor Adams says that many cases were brought
before him during those two years, but that he carefully
Investigated each case and concluded that he had no
reason to set aside the sentence of the courts.
This is a curious record-possibly unique in all Amer
lea. 1t seems to indicate that Governor Adams is a con-
%scientious governor. anxious to do his duty as he sees it.
But is 1t not a bit strange to think that not one case
reached him in two years time in which an injustice had
been done? The Colorado courts must be operating on
a higher standard than those in most other states.

Are Towns Changing?
New Salem .JournaD

4NcW 0d1eII JOUIUdU
One hears a good deal these days about the small
towns and the changes taking place within them. Every.
one knows they are undergoing a change, but is this
change better or worse for the towns? And is the small
town going to fight to stay on the map?
We believe New Salem residents will agree with us
when We say conditions are much better right now in
our towns than in our cities. We do not mean by that
that you will find more opportunities for becoming veal
thler in the small town but there are now and will
continue to be fewer people in want of the necessities
OF life than are to be found in the larger centers of
population. population considered.
We believe business conditions will get better instead
OF worse in the smaller towns, due largely to the rapid
strides being made toward securing all Of the comforts
to be found in the city. When the city dweller knows
he can have his radio and his talking pictures, along
with every electrical attachment boasted in the most
modern home and yet not have to pay as much for his
rent or groceries as in the city, the tendency to move
to the suburbs and smaller towns will increase.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PyOrrhea

Question: J.. K. asks: would
pyorrhea cause redness and twitching
OF the eyes and numbness of the
nose? Is there any cure for pyorrhea
| without having the teeth extracted?"
Answer: The poisoning from
pyorrhea may produce the symptoms
you have described. It Is possible tc
bring about a complete cure of pyor-
rhea at contain stages, but you must
go to a dentist who is a specialist in
this line Of treatment and who will
treat the teeth and gums over a per-
iod of several months. At the same
time. your diet must be well balanced
to avoid acidosis and over-accidity Of
the stomach, which Is doubtless a
fundamental cause In addition to the
pyorrhea infection.
Wholcwhcat
Question: Mrs. T. D. asks: "Where
ca one buy the wholewheat for mush
that you mention from time to time
in your weekly menus? Also the
wholewheat spaghetti? I have in
quired all over town and no one has
ever heard of it."
Answer: You a buy the cleaned
wheat from any health food store and
even from a feed and grain store.
Wholewheat spaghetti is sold In many
stores. I do not recommend any spe-
cial brands of prepared food articles
In this column, but I will be glad to
send you the names of certain stores
handling these products II you will
send me your name and address on q
large stamped envelope.
Sarc0ma
Question: Mrs. l.. G. w. asks:
Can sarcoma be cured without medi-
cal treatment, and how?"
Answer: The Sarcoma is q kind OF
tumor and may form in any part OF
the body. The treatment, whether
medical, surgical or dietetic, would
depend upon the type and location
OF Sarcoma. It would be unwise for
me to attempt to give you any def
mite advice in this column about such
a condition.

After the Depression

The existing business depression will pass, in the course
Of time. Ike all other disasters. Indeed, signs are begin.
ming to appear which indicate that 1t is already leaving
US. slowly but surely. But so far no one seems to have
thought very much about the problems we shall have
when the depression Is ut last over.
In that connection. = recent report from the Russell
Sage Foundation presents some suggestions Of consider
able Importance.
It points cut, in the first place, that the end of the
depression will find US In q reconstruction period which,
will present . number Of difficult problems. AS John M.
Glenn, general director Of the Russell Sage Foundation,
writes:
while no one can tell how long the present depression
will continue. we know from rather full records Of prev
ious unemployment periods that the Ill effects OF the
present situation on individuals and families will be felt
long after the business situation Is improved. The sooner
a community begins to organize to c~ounteract these i'll
effects. the more speedy will be its recovery"
And Joanna G. Colcord. who wrote the Foundations
report, adds:
Long after factory wheels are again turning, and to
the average citizen it seems that things are back to
normal, the social agencies will be trying to put together
the pieces Of human lives which have been shattered by
the disaster. People with health Of body and mind i'm
paired. people whose courage and independence have
been undermined, people at odds with society. broken and
scattered family groups. will lie long as a heavy burden
resulting from the period Of unemployment. The need Of
the social agencies for increased public support will be
prolonged far past the period OF acute distress. An
emergency committee should make its plans with this
fact well In mind"
The Foundation then recommends that employment
committees continue their studies of unemployment af-
ter the depression ends. For we have a good deal of un-
employment In this country even in prosperous times
seasonal, chronological and otherwise-and we have
never yet made any attempt to learn its causes or devise
a cure for 1t.
That. indeed. is the crux Of the matter. We have had
many periodic business depressions in America. each one
bringing an enormous amount of suffering in its train.
But we have never learned anything from them. In good
times we refuse to get ready for thena-and they catch
US, as this last one did. utterly unprepared.

BLAZE CAUSES
$4,000 LOSS
Fear for Hospitals Safety
During Fire.

Fire, perhaps Of incendiary origin,
that swept a fve-story building at
216-1S Usage street Saturday night,
broke out again this morning from
smoldering ruins, but was extil1-
guished quickly.
Loss was placed at $25, 900. The
building was occupied by the FIX
Auto Trunk Company, and is owned
by Mrs. H. H. Wheeler. The loss is
covered partially by insurance.
Origin of the fire in the elevator
shaft on the first floor, where a draft
swept it upward, led fire officials
to begin investigation to determine
whether it had not been set by a
firebug operating in that neighbor-
hood recently.
Apprehensive Saturday lest the
flames might communicate to nearby
buildings and spread beyond control
OF t1remen to the Indiana Christian
hospital, less than a block away,
measures were taken to move all pa
tlentS If danger threatened.

EVEN as now, the legislators
IL of 1881 had their troubles with
oil inspectors, although coal oil
inspection was the problem at
that time.
Both houses concurred In q
resolution providing for appoint
ment of committees to make an
investigation of the activities Of
the state coal oil inspector. It
was alleged, on the floor of the
senate, where the resolution orig
mated, that the inspector had
failed to make a report of his in
spections and collections. The
committee was ordered to ascer-
tain the cause of the failure.
In the present session of the
legislature, the house has ordered
remittance Of about $4,000 in oil
inspection collections allegedly
made by inspectors.
