FAME UNDYING

FAME UNDYING
New York, July 22.-1t was Johnny
Solon's name which bobbed up, nat
urally enough, in the conversation
concerning the Democratic party's
repeal plank.
For Johnny Scion was inventor Of
the Bronx cocktail, connection mix
ed today with varying results all over
the world. Scion, it seems, was past
master Of Mythology in the days of the
old Waldorf bar. Until the creation
of this drink, Scion was known chief
ly for his mint juleps. Something
like one half-hour was spent on each
julep.
And the "old timer" cogitating on
whether or not such days would re-
turn, recalled certain afternoon in
the early nineteen hundreds. Scion
had recently returned from the
Spanish war. He had TAX
en- a job in a st. Louis hotel and had
drifted into New York looking for
work. The only job open at the Wal
dorf was at the bar. Scion rose from
an assistan. to bar maestro.

HOW COME?
One day head waiter hurried in
and went into whispered conference
with Scion. It seemed there was a
very special customer who had wear
led of the drink routine and had
challenged the place to produce a
new one. Scion looked about and
varying the ingredients of the then
popular Duplex, handed it over. The
head waiter tried it. And then order
ed a batch made at once.
. Within week, the word had beer
whispered around town. The round.
ers flocked in for a trial. And not
so many months afterward, the Du.
pick had begun to slip out of favor
Johnny Scion had won neurological
fame.
Asked casually why he named Il

ZOO the Sunday before. And I had
heard fellows talk of all the animals
you'd see if you mixed drinks. So

NO HARM FROM RUST

Put my name on the subscription

are serious about writing the book.
If you do it in your usual style it will

same time instructive book. Be sure
to explain in words of one syllable
why rust is not a cause of harm. .
IT. D. A.
It is not only the writing, but I
must find time also to do my own
publishing. At that might Contrive
to do it, were it not for the large
amount of correspondence I have to
deal with. Not only the routine queS-
tons and answers but many letters
from physicians. not about personal
health but about academic questions,
and more from readers who desire to
protest or to argue about something
I have said.
It seems to me that rust is be-
coming obsolete as an imagined fac
tor of harm. I am sure the idea
does not crop up nearly so often to-
day as it did ten or fifteen years ago
in the letters people write me. 1t is
my impression that even local news
items today are less inSistent on the
point than they were a few years
ago.
Anyway rust is never factor of in

and that is naturally present in many
foods and is sometimes administered
as a medicine. It can do no possible
harm if one eats or drinks thing.

Does water enter the lungs at the

Answer-The presence of water in
the lungs is regarded as evidence of
death by drowning. But probably
it is not the water in the lungs that
causes asphyxiation in drowning
cases; it is rather spasm of larynx or
bronchial tube, brought on by the en-
trance of wee bit of water ''the
wrong way" that produces the as
phyxiation. In some cases of fatal
drowning practically no water is
found in the lungs. Do you know the

GERMANS DEFEATED

GERMANS DEFEATED
On July %, 1918, the German High
Command threw several fresh divi-
sions into the Marine salient in an
effort to stop the advance OF the vic
torious American and French troops.
During the morning the Allied
forces beat off several strong coun-
ter-attacks and during the afternoon
resumed their advance. Epieds fell
into their hands before nightfall.
Allied observers said that nearly
so German divisions had been en-
gagged in the fighting in the Marine
salient. Losses in this group had
been tremendous.
British troops continued their
gains in the Hebuterne region.
Definite announcement was made
that the Gear of Russia and men,
bers of his immediate family had
been shot on July Is.

whether the implement causing the
wound was bright and new or old and
rusty. Nor does the presence of
verdigris make any difference, nor
paint, nor varnish, nor lacquer, nor
banana oil.
The germs of septicemia (acute
blood poisoning) are of course quite
invisible, and may be present in
virulent form on the cleanest, bright
est looking surface. The bacillus of
tetanuS Oockjaw) is likewise invisible
to the unaided eye. and may be pres
ent upon the brightest, newest nail
or other implement.
Ordinary blood poisoning (sep-
ticemia) is best guarded against in
any case, whether trifling scratch or
large cut or tear, whether the wound
is made by a clean looking or dirty
looking implement, by the natural
bleeding as described and immediate
first aid swabbing of the wound with
common tincture of iodin. Follow
ing this first aid disinfection, the
wound should be covered to protect
it from subsequent contamination.
Lockjaw (tetanus) is best prevented
by the same first aid treatment and
an immediate injection of a prophy-
Tactic dose of anti-tetanic serum. The
tetanus bacillus is natural inhab-
liant of the intestinal tract of do
nestle and wild animals, and its
spores survive in droppings for many
days at least. Therefore any little
wound sustained while working or
playing about barn or barnyard, re-
Gently fertilized garden, or in the

carefully treated. Likewise any burn
or wound by fireworks, toy pistol, or
gunshot.

Something New

I'm in the mountains of Vermont,
where folks are supposed to be hard
shelled and reactionary, they are try
ing out a system of medical ana
nursing care which, if it has no otnef
merits, is at least new.
This innovation is being tried In
the city of Brattleboro and was un-
covered by the Committee on the
Costs OF Medical Care which has
been making survey of the nation.
It began with the organization OF
a Community Benefit Association,
financed by the payment of small
annual fees by the members.
The association, through an ar
rangement with the local hospital,
has provided for the training OF "at-
tendant nurses" for use in simple
cases where the services of grad
uate nurse at higher fees are un-
necessary. In addition to her duties
as nurse the attendant keeps the
household running, a tremendous ad-
vantage in many cases where domes-
tic operations must be continued
during the illness of the wife or
mother.
Premiums for the nursing insur-
ance are so cents a year for children
under 16, So for single adults and
So for married couples.
Payment of this premium entities
a member ill at home to receive the
service of a full-time graduate nurse
at one -third the regular rate. Or, if
the sickness does not require the SER
vices of a graduate nurse and it is
desirable that some housekeeping
service should also be done by the
nurse, the member of the benefit
association may obtain attendant
nurses" for one-half the regular
charges.
The hospital benefit premiums are
higher than the nursing premiums
Upon payment of 81 year for chill
dren, IS for single persons, and s7.5C
for married couples the hospital ben
eft association agrees to pay full
costs above $50, but not in excess OF
$500, for an operation involving hos
pitalization, including the surgeons
charges for the operation. In non
surgical cases, with certain eXcep-
tions, it will pay one-half Of the
costs of regular hospital accommoda.
tions, excluding physicians fees.
Back of the development of thi!
system lies the fact that the ole
spirit of neighborly assistance seemed
to be disappearing, the costs of grad
uate nurses were prohibitive for SOM
families and many cases of Hines
required neither hospital care nor tn
services of trained nurse.
The training system was inaugur
ated because of the distinct INSULT
cheney of women trained to do simpl
nursing and assume the responsibility
for housekeeping tasks"
The idea is one worth study, bot
by laymen and the medical profes
sion.
