Many Body Disorders
May Affect Joints
BY DE- NORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor. Journal OF the American Medical ASsOciatiO
and OF Hygeia the Health Magazine

Rhumatic infections make up a large percentage Of
mans disabilities because Of their relationship to
heart disease.
Out OF 100000 persons in Massachusetts, who suf-
fered from chronic disorders, $4,000 had rhumatism
and $500 Of these were totally disabled.
There is no single cause Of the various forms Of
rheumatic disorders, but various disturbances Of the
body may result in affections Of the joints. Some
times a disorder Of the glands. sometimes disturbances
Of diet, and occasionally constitutional diseases may
be al the background Of an Inflammation Of muscles
and Of joints.
In many cases, an infection which is localized In
the tonsls or at roots Of the teeth or in the gall
bladder may send infectious material into the joints.
In such cases, obviously. the removal Of the place
from which the original infection emanates viii stop
further infections from that source, but will not
necessarily heal a Joint that Is already infected.
Therefore, any one Of several causes may be re-
sponsible for starting a Joint disease or an inflamma-
ton OF this kind. but later other disturbances follow
and complicate the condition.
1t Is Of utmost Importance for a person who has
an OF the joints or any other type Of
rhematic disorder to learn the primary cause and
10 attack the disease from this point Of view. However,
since numerous changes will already have occurred
in the tissues Of the joints or in other parts Of the
body, il becomes necessary to treat each patient rs an
individual and TO control each Of the abnormal con-
ditions as ii is found.
IN other words, one must treat the patient and his
diease rather than all -inflammations OF the joints as
one OF disease.
For this reason. it is most important for the per-
son. with chronic Inflammation Of the joints to Sc
lect a physician in whom he has confidence and to be
willing to remain under that doctors treatment for
long time. since chronic Of muscles
and joints are not likely to be healed over night.
once arhritis has been definitely recognized and
everything possible done TO remove the cause, there
are some simple, but important, directions as to the
general hygiene Of the body. The diet should be ap-
petizing and should include vegetables. to supply the
necessary amounts Of proteins and fats.
II there are any foods which the patient Is in
clined to believe disagree with him., he should avoid
them.
A chronic disease is usually associated with a poor
appetite. For this reason such persons are likely to
overeat Of sugars. Because Of their illness they are un-
able To take exercise and are. therefore. inclined to
put on excess weight.
Futherfore, it has been found BY some investigators
that reduction Of the total amount Of sugar and sup
ply Of sufficient proteins and fats seem to favor reduc-
ton Of infection and swelling.
AT the sam time, this type Of diet viii supply the
necessary vitamins and also enough roughage and
similar material to overcome a tendency to conStipa-
ton.

than through a contrast of American and
Russian agricultural programs.
A Russian court in Tashkent recently
put SIS cotton farmers on trial for their
lives. They are accused of having grown
only 60 per cent of the amount of cotton
which the government expected them to
grow this year; and if the court finds out
that they limited production IN purpose,
all will be shot.
Contrast that, now, with the American
farm program, which aims at cutting pro-
duction rather than expanding il. Laying
aside the ~bloodcurdling savagery of the
penalty involved, the contrast is illuminat-
ing.
In Russia, the farmer gets into trouble
for not raising enough; in America, he
gets into trouble if he raises too much. "A
mad world, this?

REPEAL APPEARS TO RETAIN THE
EVILS OF PROHIBITION

One would hardly have thought it pos
sible, but we seem to have performed the
difficult stunt of repeating the prohibit
ton law and retaining most of the fea-
lures that made us want to get rid of it.
Rodney butcher reports from Washing
ton that the bootlegger is still thriving
very much as he did in the old days, that
the drinker can never quite be sure that
he is getting what he asks for, that illicit
stills are running on a big scale, that the
famous rum row" in the Atlantic has re-
vived and that Uncle Sam is losing huge
sums through evasion Of liquor taxes.
These items. one by one, create a pic
ture that is unpleasantly familiar. 1t is
the kind of picture we were looking at four
and five years ago, when people were
slowly coming to the belief that knocking
out the 18th amendment would set prac-
tically everything right.
In that blithe hopefulnes, apparently,
lay our great error.
We get just about what we are willing
to work for in this world, and to date there
is little evidence that we are willing to
work very hard for a sane, courageous and
efficient method Of handling the liquor
traffic.
We repeal prohibition to beat the boot
legger-and then keep the tax rate on
liquor so high that the bootlegger still
has a tempting profit margin for his oper-
ations. simultaneously we reduce the
Coast Guard strength to save money, thus
permitting rum row to operate freely.
On the heels of that, we let a Senator
Mcclellan raid the civil service enforce
ment agents in such a way that green poll
teal employees are replacing experienced
men in wholesale lots and the morale Of
the whole force is shot to blazes.
The result Of all this is that we retain
most Of the drawbacks Of prohibition,
without having lone anything very effec-
tive to reduce the age-old evils Of the
licensed traffic.
1t would be hard to think Of a more eff
fective way of building up trouble for
ourselves. Unelss we speedily work out
a program that will keep the liquor traf-
fic within legal bounds, we are apt to find
ourselves in an utterly uncomfortable situa-
ton.
