GIVE A SORE THROAT A REST

Physicians sometimes speak OF SCI
entific neglect.
Everyone has heard of the brutal
practice of hitting drowning person
hard blow on the chin in order to
stop his struggling and permit rescue.
Once poisoned man in order to
save his life. He had delirium ire
mems. He recovered from the D. rs
promptly but it was several days be-
fore I could breathe easily about his
digitalis poisoning.
A youth with acute peritOnitiS was
in such desperate condition that
the surgeon declined to operate. The
three physicians in consultation be-
lieved the boy was dying. So his own
doctor poisoned him with opium, and
the boy made a good recovery. Don't
run away with the SNUG notion that
this was an atrocity. The opium poi
soning treatment was the best know
treatment for peritonitis in the days
before surgery. Patient received
enough opium to slow the respiration
rate down to six or eight breaths a
minute Tin health the average is 49,.
In other words the inflamed organs
or surfaces were kept as nearly at
REST as is consistent with safety.
Now here is an instance of cruel
and inhuman treatment prescribed
by doctor in order to insure REST
for the inflamed organ. A lady COM
planned of a sore throat just an or
binary sore throat, but naturally she
was eloquent in her description Of the
symptoms, so eloquent that the doc
tor seized tongue depressor and APP
plicator dipped in iodin or silver nj
trate and completed his examination
and swabbed out the larynx, pharynX,
fauces, ETC., as the patient drew
breath for Chapter Two. If that
seems harsh treatment, it isn't the
half of it. While the patient gasped
and choked the callous physician
prescribed absolute silence for five
whole days.
It is not only in laryngitis that it
is wise to avoid using the voice. ST.
lence is good treatment for any acute
inflammation or soreness of the
| throat.
Any acute or chronic trouble in
nose or throat impairs the voice.
Singers, orators. actors know how
true this is. Voluntary silence is al
ways good treatment for any such
condition.
Performers in concert, choir radio,
movie or stage work have been able
to continue their regular work while
having tonsils eXtirpated with dia-
thermy, in many instances. Who ever
heard of a patient singing the morn
ing after removal of the tonsils by
the old Spanish method?
Yes. there is nothing like PHYSIO-
| LOGICAL REST for the relief OF
inflammation anywhere. Nine yards
of sterile gauze or five yards OF flan-
mel bandage or household size piece
of crepe rubber pumpkin pie is an ex-
cellent remedy. for acute sore throat
or laryngitis-applied as gag.

It's too cruel that you should

Millions Are in

And since work is not pro-

dire want and in fear of ac-

and railroads - that some
shall be appropriated where
it is absolutely necessary to
save human life, for the bene-
fit of the victims of an eco
nomic system beyond their
control.
Private charity in many
places has failed utterly; its
contribution has not been a

Dogs and Visitors

AS dog owner and dog
lover, you are unable to under
stand the person who does not
like such animals.
The dog in your house en-
joys all the privileges of home.
If he wants to jump on your
lap, you make no objection.
You are surprised when a
guest seems annoyed by such
action. $50.
But you shouldn't be.
Even though a visitor feels
kindly toward dogs, it does not
follow that he or she wishes to
hold the brute.
Usually those who call on
you are well dressed and don't
want to hold a dog under such
conditions.
You should remember that
none feels toward your dog as
you do.
A dog too. friendly with
guests is as undesirable as the
dog who is always ready to
bite a shoe or tear a trousers
leg of a caller.
In some homes the dogs re-
pose in the best chairs, the
couch-in fact, any piece Of
furniture.
It is not unkind to prevent
this.
They are bound to shed hairs
which stick to the clothing Of
those who sit in places where
dogs have been.
And dogs in automobiles

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

When a mans heart is COM
pletely satisfied, it goes into a
coma and gradually oSsifieS; but
when it is broken or bruised, it
spills magic emotions which wa.
ter his whole nature and make
it blossom.
A man must have had at least
one unhappy love affair, one un-
requited love, before he is actu-
ally human. Unrequited love is,
sometimes, the most beneficent
thing in a young mans life.
The first woman who plays
with a mans heart and makes
him suffer is an angel-in-vamp's-
clothing, who skaters the hard
shell of his vanity, unlockS his
soul, deadens his conceit and
makes him fit to be a devoted
husband-to some other woman.
A mans greatest inspiration
in life is always the thing he
wants-and HASN'T got or
CAN'T get!
It isGhope of a. woman's love,
not gratitude for it, that puts
a man on his mettle and taps
the weIl-springs Of his ambition
or genius. It is the girl he didn't
marry, the kiss he didn't get,
that gildS his dreams; it is the
woman he failed to win, who
inspires him to effort and
achievement.

THE American Federation
of Labor has submitted a
petition to Congress and the
President asking certain eco
nomic and legislative relief
and setting forth the reasons
for the request. While it
speaks officially only for or
ganized labor, it really
speaks for the working class
in general in this paper.
It is just as we'll that the
working element in its organ
lied capacity should serve
notice on the servants of the
people that the work of
American relief" is not
ended when the banks and
railroads have been cared
for through the Treasury.
1t is proper that someone
should recall at this juncture
the almost common admis-
sion eight months ago that
there must be some industrial
readjustments for the eco
nomic salvation of the aver
age man.
And with 100000 or more
breadwinners denied the
right to earn their bread and
support their families by our
present industrial and eco
nomic sy S m, and with
25,OOO,OO0 men, women and
children without sufficient
food or clothing and many
threatened with starvation, it
is important that these facts
be put directly up to the
representatives of the people
so there can be no possible
misunderstanding of the stu
alton.
