had much obstetricsl experience can
give it safely and without fear.
5. It must be inexpensive.
The method that possesses all
these qualifications has not yet
been perfected. At the present time
those drugs that have been tried
require considerable experience, spe-
cial training and expert judgment
to administer. The general prac-
titioner, who still does the bulk Of
obstetrics in this country, is there
fore reluctant to use methods with
which he is not familiar, because
of the limited opportunities for ad-
vanced obstetrical training. Patients
who do not receive anslgesia must
be watched very closely. This re-
quires an increase in the nursing
personnel of the hospitals. The city
institutions, which are constantly
attempting to cut down their bud
gets during the crisis, will therefore
refuse to use analgesia because it
means that their nursing stats will
nave 10 DS eIllaI Ig6Q.
If patient is delivered in hos
pital by q private physician and he
administers the analgeSia, she must
either be watched carefully by the
doctor himself or by special nurse
engaged to do the watching. Many
doctors have admitted that it does
not pay them to sit around for
hours at a patients bedside and
therefore, are not anxious to give
any medicine that compels them to
keep constant watch over the pa
tient. On the other hand, during
these hard times patients cannot
afford to pay additional money for
nursing care during labor. Because
Of all these reasons, economic and
otherwise, obstetrical anaigesia or
the relief of pain during labor has
not been popularised.
The Gwathmey method Of colonic
analgesia is excellent in relieving
the pains Of childbirth. It consists
Of giving the patient series OF in
jections under the skin Of morphine
and epson salt, followed by placing
a mixture of olive oil, alcohol, ether
and quinine in the rectum. If ad-
ministered properly the labor will
progress normally and after the eff
fects of the medicine have worn off
the patient will tell you that she
does not remember anything about
the labor and did not experience
any pain.

Is no concern to the farmer, If he
can get few days on the road to
supplement his lack of farm income.
The farmer is to build roads in
zero weather that the farm family
might be fed and clothed. The pay
is 81 per day. Often he is forced
to mortgage his farm, stock, and
equipment to get winter feed for
stock. This summers drought en-
sures the need of winter relief. The
Federal Relief can be had only on
good security.
Newly built roads, as relief prof.
ects, have raised taxes. One farmer
gave 5000 loads of stone for one
project, now he faces 90 years of
taxation to pay the bankers who
claim they built the road. Once 90
per cent of the road tax was paid
by work, now the state collects all
tax In cash. An additional 10 per
cent for delinquency. So there is

Letters from Our Readers
BRING THE DAILY TO THE FARMERS

Utica, Mich.
Editor, the Daily Worker:
Allow me to make one suggestion
especially for the election campaign,
in the winning of the farmers to
the Communist Party and the revo-
lutionary way out of the struggle.
In every medium size and large
city there are one or more markets
(so-called municipal markets. where
farmers from many miles around
go to sell their farm products. IN
asmuch as so many farmers are
collected together, it would be a
valuable field in which to spread
the theology of the Communist
Party, its election platform the rev.
olutionary way out, ETC., very quickly
and effectively And as a supple
ment to the leaflets a copy of the
Daily Worker or the official orgaf1
of the United Farmers League
could be given out.

in all the Party policy of struggle
and fight. But one essential thing
you omitted = recreation for the
worker and his family. The bosses
agents know about it very well and
create churches, Sunday schools,
movies, saloons, dancing halls, pool
rooms, sports, and what not. The
worker supports all these organiza-
tions and pays heavy for it, too.
Although they tax themselves freely
to support all these organizations,
I doubt if the working man knows
what it's all about. realize that
these activities offer them a place
where they can relax and it also
occupies their spare time. In writ

I really would like to tell my Ne

Miller, com- manding officer of Chilkoot Bar racks who arrived here aboard the barracks tender Fornance yester- day after making an inspection of the cemetery.
 One of the principal improve ments is the construction of new road leading directly to the ceme- tery, instead of paralleling it as the former one did This road gives a splendid view of the terraces and other improvement work done on the cemetery" Col. Miller declared. The road was part of the project done under the cooperation of the A. R. c. and Army.
