A Pillow for Sciatica

A Pillow for Sciatica
 The Sciatic nerve is whale of a nerve, nearly as thick as your thumb. If you've ever had a touch of sciatica you know just where the great sciatic nerve is. If you haven't you don't care where it is.
 Sciatica is sometimes actual in- flammation of the nerve, neuritis. But in most cases this disa bility is due to some trouble in the sacro- lilac or the sacolumbar joints. By means of stereoscopic X-ray views of these joints the physician to- day may find evidence of arthritis which could hardly be detected otherwise. Of course the skilled physician can determine by ordi- nary physical examination whether the sacro-iliac joints are normal and such test should be made in every case of sciatica.
 One antiquated notion that has done a great deal of harm to vic- tims of sciatica is that this ail- ment is rheumatic" in character, and that remedies, diet or treat ment that purport to be good for the rheumatism are likely to help sciatica. Sciatica treated merely with rheumatism" remedies is maltreated. This terror contri- butes considerably to the bad name sciatica has.
 In some cases after long experi- mentation with silly baths, diets and electricity the seat of the trouble is found to be pelvic or spinal tumor.
 Persons who have sciatica or any similar disability should beware of sagging beds. One man who was partially disabled for many months by sciatica, enjoyed himself most of the time trying" this and that plausible remedy, bath, massage or colored light treatment and kept getting a little no better until he happened to sleep in strange bed, a good bed, and enjoyed nights rest, undisturbed. Then he junked the miserable springs and mattress he had been accustomed to, in stalled new sleeping equipment, and promptly recovered from his sciatica.
 If proper springs and mattress cannot be had, put some boards crosswise under the mattress to prevent sagging, and in any case give the patient the comfort of a loin pillow. This pillow should be firmly stuffed with curled hair only 1 1h inches thick, 5 inches wide and IA inches long. It is to be placed crosswise under the arch of the loin. It acts as pad on the sacro-iliac joints and prevents sag ging at those points. If the pa- tient turns in sleep the loin pill low or pad should be retained in place by means of wide soft tapes around the body:
 In severe cases of sciatica the physician may give much relief by applying extension to the leg--by

HPYOUR
 CHILDREN
By OlMs Roberts BartoN
6l5sS 5Y Nfz saaNca. 1Se

| In July, August and September, many a mother feels that Q vague but dark shadow hoyers over her home ready to swoop and destroy, She fears the scourge of infantile | paralysis. It doesn't help much to cell her attention to the fact that the vic- tims are less numerous In a. years time than those of many other virulent diseases and deaths fewer in number. The mother mind senses the worst, naturally enough and envisages the little legs of her children so perfect to-day, as pos- sibly helpless or shriveled tomor- row.
 Such an attitude is wrong. It is not right to anticipate such things or to worry about them needlessly.
 This is written with the fervent prayer that soon a sure and quick cure will be discovered to rout the plague that seemed suddenly to appear from nowhere some odd years ago.
 Be Cautious and Prompt In the meantime if worrying is "kOi6t 4Vb dS caution. Under caution let us add promptness to act if child seems to be i'll. It is by prompt action and certain treatments known to help the afflicted that the worst characteristics of the disease may be repulsed to a degree in their attack.
 Therefore 1t seems sensible to be able to recognize certain symp- toms if they appear and not wait to see what tomorrow brings be- fore getting doctor on the case. The head does not draw back as is commonly thought-at least not in the incipient stages. On the contrary, the child or adult will likely pull his chin down and shake his head from side to side to relieve the stiffness or drawing in his neck.
 He will have 8 headache very likely and perhaps a backache, and run a low temperature. He will be tired and apathetic and his eyes will look heavy and dull, but at times he may brighten up and seem to feel better. Mostly there is vomiting-not much-but once or twice a day. Actual paralysis in most cases does not occur until the patient has been sick week or so--but this is hard to pin to any particular time, as other early symptoms may not have been mo- ticed. At first the disease may re- semble grip or "flu', the doctors tell us.
 Don't wait, but get the doctor at once. These symptoms do not mean that your child has infantile paralysis. Stomach upsets can come simultaneously with a stiff neck. But get the doctor anyway if only to reassure you.
 Other Symptoms
 One other symptom is often characteristic of the disease. A pale look, and trembling, usual ly slight of the lips and hands.
 Almost I hesitate to write these symptoms, lest I suggest hysteria to the mother who sees any of these signs. Remember they may come from other causes. Don't get panic stricken. But it doesn't pay, I think, to substitute hope for help, or waiting for real action. As this is written news has come that a new immunizing serum is being tried out in the east. Let us hope this is at last the an- swer to our prayers.
 In epidemic communities all children should be taken for ex- animation, sick or well.

They titillate the fancy of whichever sex they seem to flatter and make diverting req ding. But when you ask if it be a cold-blooded scientific fact I can only say nobody knows.

Our very habit of loyalty to our party may prevent us from getting new ideas: 3.-Not the slightest when applied to individual cases. A new study is recently reported in School ana Society by M. P. Broom, psycho- Iogist, State Teachers College San Diego, Cal. His combined results from measuring 100 men and 100 women college students indicate a slight but consistent correspondent between total cu- bic brain capacity and intelligence test scores for the groups as a whole but it is so slight that 1t would be utterly useless in telling how much intelligence any parti- cular individual possessed.

She trailed her golden dress upstairs with the effect of a creature from another, higher sphere, and the gesture helped her to think back to the dinner with more conceit. "When he's had time to consider it," she told herself, Howard Jackson will be sorry he turned down going into that Sears trans. action. He looked amazed when ] told him what I'd made on it. Even if I can't play the piano!"
 Jane had not intended actually to lie to her aunt when she said that Amy was going on to a Com mencemeht party. She had thought it quite possibly true. It was true in so much that Amy was supposed to appear at Professor Lowe's and help her mother through an even- ing with group of visiting trus- tees wives, whose husbands were attending the same meeting to which Barney and Prentice had to go. Howard was needed at Profes- sor Ellert's and he and Barney had left together. Edgar Moreland and Alice fingered.
 Gall up your mother and say you can't get rid of us," said Ed gar. She's capable of coping with millions of trustee ladies, be they ever so strange. I don't want to go. Neither does Alice. We want to sit around and have some light minded talk and have you play us some low-brow stuff, don't we Alice?"
 "Yes, and I want some more cake!" said Alice. Tt was grand, that cake. only had half slice"
 Alice, if you get fat I won't love you," warned Edgar.

Another of her self-appointed family duties was helping with her mothers enormous correspon- dence. Many of the letters in Mrs Roosevelt's files bear Mrs Dall's initials, indicating that she has read and answered them.
 Nor did the only Roosevelt daughter lack work of her own. In the past year she has written two books for children and numer- ous magazine articles. For awhile she even conducted an informal department in one magazine, dis cussing everything from child training to politics. Her articles speak with great frankness of life

 American. Anna Roosevelt
 Dan. The recent months of
 her young life are described
 below in the last of three arti-
 cles written for Waterbury
 Democrat.
 By Mary Margaret Mcbride
 NEA Service Staff Writer
 When the Roosevelts went to live at the White House, An ma Roosevelt Dall and her two children became an important part of the household. Mrs Roosevelt fitted up the nursery on the third floor for Sistie and Buzzie and when she showed early visitors over the place, point ed out room across the hall from her own as Anna's.
 Curtiss Dall attended theNinau- guration with his family but after that was seldom seen at the White House. He did go to Washing ton for his daughters first birth day party there and occasionally a note about "the presidents son. in-law" appeared in the newspa- pers. But friends accepted the fact that a separation had taken place and any doubt on the sub- ject was completely dissolved when the most recent issue of the Social Register gave Anna's ad- dress as Washington and her hus- bands as Tarrytown.
 Presidents Confidant
 Anna soon settled into her old routine as daughter of the house and her Pops" confidant and fun-maker. They always laugh a good deal together, those two-one amusing little habit of hers retained from childhood is to whisper secrets to him to make him smile.
 Anna resumed her friendly com- panionship too, with her mother. The two often rode together in Rock Creek Park in the early morning, and the daughter substi- tuted for her parent at teas and even on more formal occasions. Anna is excellent at making par ties go, even staid state affairs. She has gleeful delight in gold braid and uniforms that she seems able to communicate to those around her, making even officials less stiff.

course, put on an excellent show and the American public enjoyed
 her. But it could not hope to copy her, except perhaps in the color and cut of her dress. Pret- ty Princess Anna, on the other hand, acts much as any other young American woman would like to act, given her opportuni- ties.
 She is a good mother and abso- lutely sincere in her avowed wish to keep the children from getting the idea that they are important. She had even hoped that they need never realize that their adored Pops was President of the
 United States. Not long ago, she had Sistie and Buzzie out in her battered automobile-left to her own devices, she drives a second hand flivver at as high speed as the law allows. The party drew up before a shop and curious crowd gathered to stare.
 Sistie said, Mother, they're all looking at us. Why are they?" Mrs Dall gave some off-hand an- swer and they drove on home. Sistie waited until her mother went into the house, then asked her friend the White House door,
 man. "Why do people look at us?"
 The doorman told her that it
 was because her grandfather IS | President of the United States. Sis-
 tie ran to find her mother, scream ing in great satisfaction: T know now why people look at us. It's
 cause Pops is Resident of the
 United States" & Well, said her mother, in a | casual tone that made little of the whole business, "he won't be Pres ident in a few years and then you'll be standing on the sidewalk
 watching somebody else go into the White House!"
 Mrs Dall recognizes that it is wise for her children, since they are so much in the public eye, to be we'll guarded, but she has kept them from thinking that the guards are there as any spe- cial attention to them. They re- gard State troopers and Secret Service men as just nice jolly friends who happen to be around lot. S-s &
 Democratic in Manner Mrs Dall is the sort of young woman who chooses a table to sit on even when there are plenty of chairs. She is as unself-conscious as she is informal. When she thinks about it, though, she actually tries to make herself inconspicious in order not to attract attention. Only her methods are usually so spec tacula that people only look at her the more.
 There was the classic time, for instance, that, needing to speak to her mother on a matter of im- portance, she appeared on her hands and knees from round a screen at Mrs Rooseyelts side during conference the latter was holding with group of women in the upper hall of the White House. The confefees were first amazed and then amused, but An na never even thought that she was being unconventional.
 It is this unstudied quality which makes her movements so interesting to watch. It is one reason why Washington will he waiting eagerly in the months to come to see what Anna Roosevelt Dall does next.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Chalk This Down

May I criticize your assertion that precipitated chalk and pre- pared chalk are the same? The former is a crystalline powder, of which about 40 grains makes a teaspoonful. Whereas prepared chalk is an amorphous powder of which 80 grains makes a teaspoon full. Accidentally the amorphous prepared chalk is always used. (B. S.)
 Answer-Thank you. Prepared chalk is much better than sodium bicarbonate for use as an antacid. Chemically it is calcium carbon ate. Ten grains or So will neu- tralize excessive acidity of stomach for an hour or more.
 Snoring
 have noticed that if a person sleeps on his back he will, snore, but if he turns on his side he will not snore. c. ID
 Answer-In the supine position the uvula and soft palate and perhaps tongue tend to fall back and obstruct the throat. In the lateral prone position these struc- lures do not obstruct breathing. But some persons snore in any position. They need either reduc- tion of stacker flesh or physical trainng or both.
