Your Health

alton of temperature.
The teeth should have regular attention by COM
petent dentist and toothbrush must be used regu-
larly.
great deal has been said about the use of vari-
Gus Vaccines and serums, or so-called shots" in
treatment of rheumatic disorders Unfortunately no
single germ has been incriminated as the cause of
rheumatic conditions in all cases.
Therefore, two types of Vaccnes are used-one in
vovng germs taken from infections in various parts
OF the body including occasionally the joints them
selves and the other, mixtures of germs taken from
various cases of arhrtis and cultivated in the usual
way.
GONE authorities insist that use of specific germs
~ is not necessary and that primarily the reaction
in the body of the patient brings about benefit Such
reactions produced by injection of any protein
substance as, for example, heated milk nonspecihc
vaccines.
To attack the disease, attempts have also been
made to use transfusons of blood from other persons
and injections Of the patients own blood into his
body. This latter method is a mild form of nom
specific protein therapy bringing about a reaction
in the patients body.
The drugs that have been used in treatment of
arthrts are legion, most of them employed because
they relieve pain. There is no reason why person
should suffer pain while undergoing treatment The
right drugs properly administered will do much to
keep the patient in comfort.
A MORE recent method includes application Of
IA hot paraffin baths with temperature from 11a
to 100 degrees sustained from to 20 minutes More
over it is possible to obtain generazed heating by
passing electrical currents through the tissues against
resistance
Again it should be emphasized that the frame of
mind of the patient is Of utmost significance This
accounts for the said to be brought about by
laying the hands. twisting the feet prayer chang
ing shoes, and by all sorts of similar measures
well known authority has said that hopefuness
and patience, physical treatment sunlight fresh air
good hygiene, massage, and good food will bring
about benefit in the vast majority of patients and
that removal Of mental and physical overactivity,
freedom from worry, and building up Of general re-
sistarce viii take care Of good many more.

FATHER FLANNAGAN'S BOYS
Il HOME, or Boys Town, as the
postal guide will soon list it, is a
non-sectarian institution that has
grown through many years out OF
Father Flannagan's fondness and
sympathy for lonely, homeless
boys.
Shortly after his ordination, 20
years ago, Father Flanagan be-
came absorbed by the procession
of -and-outers who filed
daily in sorbid parade through
the police courts.
He started workingman's hotel
in an effort to provide a haven
for these discarded men. He made
more than 1000 case records OF
such men who stayed at his hotel.
And he found that the answer in
most instances was a homeless
and neglected childhood.
So he decided that the way to
stop this fearful waste was to

a better chance.

his belief that there isn't such
thing as a bad boy" Father Flan-
nagan took home with him to his
parish house three lads turned
over to him by the juvenile court,
and with a couple of other stray
newsies who had been staying at
his hotel, he moved into large
old vacant house, paying
months rent in advance with
money he borrowed.

tors taking the place OF the PICK ana ShoVe OF
the old mining prospector.
The 1885 prospector is Phi. D. from some uni
versitv with training in geology, physics and math-
ematicS.
The mineral industries of the world, according to
Prof. NJ King Hubert of the department of geology
of Columbia University. are entering the epocn OF
geophySical prospecting
The Situation illustrates what happens in time to
any branch of science. 1t begins in some laboratory
of pure science search for scientific truth me
rest of the world ignores it for the most part or
treats it with amused tolerance
The years roll by and suddenly the new scientific
development is found extremely useful in the bust
ness world. There is no longer any patronizng air
toward it for now it is paying dividends.
Such has been the history of geophysicS. 1t
started a few decades ago when scientists felt the
need of applying the methods of physics to the prob
lens Of geology. They were not thinking OF petrol
cum or iron or gold.
But within the last decade it became evident that
these scientists had the knowledge which the mining
world needed.
NEW prospecting methods are needed because, as
~ Prof. Hubert points out. practically no i'm
portant mineral discoveries can be expected from
surface methods of prospecting.
This view is corroborated by Prof. c. K. Leith,
eminent mineral authority and chairman of the
Mineral Inquiry OF the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers.
Prof. Ieltl calls alleQUO0 70 the IacC llaL no

1915 or in western Europe since 1880 These are the
two principal mineral districts of the world.
This means that if any major mineral deposits
remain in these important districts they not go
ing to be found by surface prospecting One way to
make the discoveries would be by haphazardly sink
ing enough shafts, wells, and exploration pits But
wise business methods DO not indicate that such
plan would pay.
THE other way is to make use of indirect pros
Il pecting It is here that the methods of geophys-
les enter.
Artificial earthquakes are created by setting of
dynamite charges. The waves are recorded upon
seismogaphs set at different localities From these
records it possible to plot the rock layers at con-
siderable depths.

then in a position to hazard guess as to whether

Minute changes in the force Of gravity, recorded
by the gravity pendulum also give evidence as to the
advisability Of doing any drilling.

BOYS TOWN. Neb., Jan.

BOYS TOWN, Neb., Jan.
19.-You've never ,seen
a story with this dateline
before. But it's correct.
Boys Town is the newest
town in Nebraska. And it's
aptly named, for its popula-
ton is made up almost en-
tirely of boys ranging in
age from 8 to 16, about 200
of them. The Postoffice De-
partment has recognized it
as a town, and is commits
sioning a postmaster here.
Better known is Boys Town,
perhaps, as Father Flannagan's
Boys Home-an institution start
ed II years ago, 10 miles west Of
Omaha, by a young Irish Catholic
priest, the Rev. Edward j. Elan
nagan.
The mail addressed to the home
has been growing in volume so
rapidly that it was decided to set
up a postof1ce here. And, since
the boys felt that any community
having a postofice ought also to
have a mayor and other elected
officers, they are now busily en-
gagged in setting up a "city gov
eminent" and electing complete
set of officials.
In the auditorium and dormi-
tory buildings of Boys Town
there are great goings-on these
days. Mass meetings, and stump
spe ches, and electioneering.
Study of the new One-house legis-
lature just adopted by their home
state of Nebraska. The manager
plan.
Election cards, printed in the
institutions own printing plant
by the boys themselves, are being
freely passed out by the score of
boys who have already announced
their hope of becoming mayor.
It's the best possible training for
future citizenship, and practical
politicians from nearby Omaha
have frequently visited Boys Town
to give the youthful electioneers
pointers on how to run cam
paign.
In fact, so fast did the boys
'catch on" to political methods
that some of the candidates
managed to get a corner" on
most of the Christmas candy, and
when the campaign started the
day after Christmas they dis
tributed it just as older politicians
pass out cigars.
And six prospective voters went
to the inf1rmary with the stom-
achache, not being used to sweets
in such quantities.

In other words, the economic
consequences of an adverse ruling
would be so staggering that Off
cialdom can not conceive a ma
jority of the tribunal reversing
the lower court decisions which
upheld the law.
Likewise the history of the
court shows it is not entirely un-
influenced by the prospect of
definitely unfavorable reaction
against it if it upset the apple
cart.
Basically there is only one issue
at stake IN the cases:
Whether gold clause contracts
shall be paid on the basis of 81
or S1.69-the present value of the
gold dollar. The compliments
cannily did net demand payment
in gold as that would be mani
festly impossible and the Consti-
tuition specifically gives Congress
the power to coin money and
regulate the value thereof"
However, involved in this basic
issue are two other factors:
Whether the law is constitu-
tional as regards contracts be-
tween private individuals or COR
porationS.
Wether the law should apply to
foreign holders of gold clause
contracts.
Regarding the latter point,
Justice Hughes indicated much
concern.
Domestically the dollar has suf-
fered no loss in purchasing power
as a result of devaluation. But
in foreign exchange it has under
gone drastic Shrinkage.
In some quarters it is deemed
possible that the court, while up
holding the validity of the law re-
garding domestic contract hold
ers, may draw a distinction in the
interest of foreign claimants.

to stop the sale of sweepstake
and lottery tickets III the United

The lady was emphatic that the
sale of such tickets should be
stopped.
I'm against lotteries. Aren't
you. Senator?" she demanded.
An embarrassed hush descended
on the table for a moment, and
then some one hastily changed
the subject.
Later the lady was reminded
that the chunky little Pennsyl-
vanian had twice been tried for
violation Of the national lottery
laws.
