Our Advice

Constipation in infants and young
children is one of the commonest
complaints. Ordinarily it may be
handled very successfully by proper
dietetic management without the
use of cathartics. The ballyhoo
about cathartics is characteristic of
the profit-motive system.
Drug companies have spent mil
lions of dollars in advertising all
sorts of phenphtalein containing
laxatives in the form of confections.

tics both mild and drastic. They
have made a nation gut-conscious
and have created, stimulated and
encouraged vile cathartic habit in
literally millions of people.
We do not Unfortunately con-
denim the use of any and all cathar-
tics. They have their place and.

eficacious in relieving temporary
stubbornness of the bowels, but one
must be very careful to avoid estab-

habitual use of cathartics frequently
induces.

one Of the reasons for the magazine
which is being started by the Medi-
cal Advisory Board. While the

tons in greater detail. The first
issue of the magazine, now being
prepared, will contain a variety Of
articles. Occupational diseases,
diet, care of the skin. care of in
fants will be some of the topics. In
addition there will be articles on

PANAMA CANAL NOT
JUST MERE DITCH: A
SECOND-STORY LAKE

The Panama canal is of tre-
mendOus Importance, for it makes it
possible for us to have one navy
instead Of two. The excellent way
in which the locks are handled lets
us move the whole of our fleet from
the Atlantic into the Pacific, or vice
versa, in day and half. And, fur
thermOre, from purely engineering
angle this canal is more vulnerable
than most.
1t is not (as so many people still
seem to believe) a big ditch dug
across the narrow strip of noun
famous land that connects North and
South America. 1t is really a Sec
ond-story lake that carries the ships
from one ocean to the next by way
of the attic. Instead of digging
deep ditch across the iSthmuS, our
engineers damned up two small
rivers and created two vast artif-
cial lakes. They then cut through
the narrow mountain ridge that sep
arated these two lakes and construct
ed a number of gigantic locks which
carry the vessels from the Atlantic
tidewaters to the artificial lake,
away up high between the mountains,
and which drop them just as gently
when the time has come for them to go
back to the other sea.
A canal like that depends for its
efficiency upon its locks. Once one
of the locks has been destroyed or
even seriously damaged, the canal
is as helpless as an automobile with
out gasoline-Hendrick Willem Van

SWIFT SILVER MINE

THERE seem to be three distinct
l. eras in America during which
mining was most important. The
first was during the Spanish occu-
patton, the second after the Civil
war. and the last the present time.
But the Swift silver mine belongs
TO none of them; it produced it's
silver shortly before the Revolu-
tiOn.
Swift was the captain of sail
ing vessel of those times. He met
man who had been adopted into
an Indian tribe, and this man re-
vealed that the Indians had dis
covered a fabulously rich deposit
of silver in Kentucky.
The mine was in cave, well
hidden from the casual searcher. 1t
was all that had been promised, and
Swift set TO work mining and
smelling the ore, running it into
molds and stamping it with dol
lar die which he had brought with
him. When they had made as much
of this money as they could carry,
they concealed the place as the In
dians had done and started east
ward-nOne too soon, for the tribes
men discovered that their mine had
been plundered and started on
their trail. In fact, pursuit grew so
hot that the white men were forced
to bury a large proportion of their
spOils.
Then came the Revolutionary
war. and Swift was busy with many
matters. We next meet up with him
when he came into Kentucky with
Boone, and told the story of the
Indian mine at ROonesborOugh.
He said that he could find the
place again, although his sight was
failing. and a company was formed
to go with him. He led them truly,
and at last toward evening one day
he recognized the location. The
night was spent Ill uIedlnS OF great
fortune, and at daybreak every one
was eager to uncover the hidden
shaft-but alas. during the night
Swift's eyesight had left him COM
pletely, and he could not see even
The sun as it poured its rays against
7is face.
He tried to tell the Men where to
20, but it was useless. They were
forced at last to abandon their
search and return home empty
handed.
That mine has been hunted ever
since those days, but it remains hid
den.

THE LOST FIND

TINE Funeral range of mountains,
l. east of Death Valley, conceals
lost mine known as the Find. A
man named Smith was its discov-
erer, and he went to New York
with the first of his new wealth,
spent it lavishly, and at the end of
two months died of apOpleXy.
He left map, a fairly accurate
one, showing the eastern part of
Death Valley, and in the northern
most range of mountains a canyon
had been drawn in detail. Near the
head of this canyon red cross
marked the Find.
Basing their itineraries on this
map, many people tried to reach
the mine, but with no success. Then
a location notice." written pecul-
iarly and apparently designed to
give clews only to those who knew
which were real and which false
directions, was unearthed from
beneath a location monument where
the copper camp of Greenwater
stands. The notice read as follows:
Notice is hereby given that we,
the men that wrote this notice, Is
over the age of twenty-one and are
citizens of the United States, Cuba,
and the Philippines; we do this
day locate one gold mine. Known
as the Bryfogle, and more particu-
larly described as follows:
Commencing at this big monu-
ment of stone on cold rainy night
and running 35 hours with Indians
after him, come to a big canyon
that leads up to the north with two
big rocks on one side of the mouth
of the canyon, the one on the right
round and smooth, and the one on
the left rough and rugged. These
rocks stand 20 feet high. Follow up
this canyon about five hours on
burros or one and one-half hours
on horseback you will come to the
fork of the canyon. Take the left
hand one and ride hard for two
hours and you will come to a small
gulch leading up to the right. 60
up this about one-fOurth of a mile
you will come to small water
hole. Sometimes it's a dry hole. If
it's a water hole when you get
there. water your animals, fill your
canteen and then go On until the
gulch forks again, then take the
right hand one until it forks, then
lead up the left one just a little
ways and you will discover the find
we have been unable to locate. The
canyon is yet. and we take this
means of locating the big find. The
map of the above described prop
erty will be furnished to anyone on
application to the undersigned. Lo-

Eve nodded happily as she snug

of interest for both the older folks
and for Steve and Eve.
''Who could be calling at this

they entered the apartment to hear
the phone jangling, demandingly.

Yes. of course"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-31
Administrations, Please!

Probably only few people noticed the avidity with which the Waterbury Ameri- can leaped at the chance to link the Isola- tion Hospital on Watertown avenue to the administration of Mayor Frank Hayes. A well-timed statement of Roger V. Connor, mayoralty candidate on the Independent democratic ticket, given to the Waterbury Republican, furnished the fuel by which the evening half of the Leavenworth twins kindled what was supposed to be glowing conflagration.
 For instance there is this remark: 1.-The administration has never thought of using it for sick people. :" What administra- tion, pray? Does the writer refer to that of Mayor Hayes or his predecessor, ex- Mayor Francis Guilfoile? Or perhaps the writer might even stretch his memory back to the days of ex-Mayor William Sandland. Perhaps this writer is not entirely familiar with the facts surround ing Waterbury's Isolation hospital. Per- haps he was not even in our midst when it was perpetrated upon unsuspecting citizens.
 We don't recall that there were sarcas- tic remarks when the hospital was made available several years ago as a waiting station for tubercular patients seeking ad- mission to state sanatoria. The Isolation hospital, that handsome edifice up there on Watertown avenue, can never be laid at the doorstep of Mayor Hayes. If the Waterbury American wants to toss its political mudpies this way and that 1t might better get the facts before so doing. If the city is taxed today for upkeep of this tenantless institution, lay the blame where the blame belongs.
