He is convinced that the whole
picture of tuberculosis is SO re-
markably changed for the better

sanatorium, that many remedies
which appear to be beneficial when
patients are treated under the
ordinary hospital or home condi-
tons are found really to add moth

brought about when the patient is
taken care of properly in good
sanatorium.
He emphasizes the fact that in
an occasional case the use of ar
tificial ultraviolet rays for tuber-
culoSis in the throat seems to work
marveis.
However, the study of the entire
condition leads him to believe that
in the vast majority of cases old
fashioned methods of treatment
do just about as well, provided the
patient is taken care Of properly

We are not going to be dragged

which Europe still is beset and
which prevents the League of
Nations from becoming a genuine
agency of peace. If and when
that snarl is cleared, we may feel

Meanwhile, we reserve the right
to cherish what little hope there

the hope that some day great
governments will quit kidding

trying to kid us.

An Electric Impulse

DROFESSOR ADRIAN's studies
have revealed that the nerve
current is not steadily flowing
current, such as is furnished by
an electric battery. It is, rather.
an electrical impulse.
He describes it as a localized
difference in electrical potential
or pressure which travels along
the nerve fiber as a sort of wave"
Another important discovery
which he made was that the
strength Of a nervous impulse was
governed not by the change in the
strength of the electrical impulse,
but by the number of impulses or
waves occurring per second.
In the case Of a weak stimulus,
the number was about 10 or 20
to the second. In the case of a
strong impulse, it was from 300 to
400.
Sir Charles Sherrington, who
shared the Nobel prize with Pro-
lessor Adrian, has spent the last
forty years Of his life studying the
behavior of the neurone.
While he and Adrian. never have
elaborated in their researches
they are very good friends. Sher-
rington has contributed so great
ly to the understanding of the way
in which nerves function that he
has been called "the philosopher
of the nervous system"
In his earliest experiments, car
ried on from 1885 to 1906, he
sought to explain the action Of the
nervous system in terms Of the
physical components which then
were being brought to light by the
anatomists engaged in the micro
scopic study Of that system.
His most recent researches have
been to show the exact behavior
of the so-called motor nerves,
that is, the nerves when carry
messages from the brain or spinal
cord to the muscles and stimulats
the muscles to action.

LAWLESs LAW ENFORCEMENT

At this late date the supreme court has got
around to suppressing of the awless activities
of federal prohibition ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
citizens into law violations by dry agents Federal
enforers prosecutors and lower federal judges have
condoned this vicious practice.

their mutual service in an A. E. F. division to con-

Hard to Understand


XXTE are forced to admit that
w we do not understand this
latest episode, as well as several
others in our relations with
France.
What have we done that France
should consider it necessary to
force debt revision by withholding
nineteen million dollars?
We did not raid the French
treasury while Hoover and Laval
were in conference, or at any other
time, though it has lain within
our power for several years.
We did not stand on ceremony
when the cry for help came.
We have not nagged our debtors
for payment, or refused terms and
concessions that appeared equita-
BILE.
On the other hand, we waited
for a long time without receiving
a cent from France, though we
could have made excellent use of
the money that was due.
When a settlement finally was
made, we granted France a stu
pendouS reduction and easy terms.

Legion Will Issue
Guide to Veterans
Compensation Laws

Every veteran who has joined, or
becomes member of the American
Legion for 1882, and whose card and
dues are on record with the national
organization by July 10, will receive
without charge a thirty-two page
magazine-size booklet, written in
plain language, describing all federal
and state laws pertaining to World
war veterans.
This announcement was made by
L. P. Winter, post commander of the
Legion here, following advice received
from national headquarters in In
dianapolis, Indiana.
One of the most important features
of the booklet will be suggestions as
to how claims may be started and
followed through. Often, according
to Legion officials, an ex-service man
knows he has a just claim for COM
pensation, and that the government
is willing to do the right thing, but
too often lack of Information as to
the proper method of procedure pre-
vents the case receiving the attention
it deserves. He gets a copy of the
law and doesn't understand it. Per-
haps he has written a few letter,
when first he should have obtained an
affidavit, made certified copy of his
discharge papers, or included state
ment from his physician.
