Diagnosing
Infection
Of MastOid
BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. d.

n 3 YOUNCSIEHS, Dragging ABOUT
= our fighting ability, the first as
set was to have big muscle" on the
upper right arm, and the second was
to have a large lump" Of bone be-
hind the ear. This lump, the sign Of
a good fighter, became known to us
later as the "maStoid" bone To 1t is
attached the upper end Of the large
muscle you can see standing out on
the neck when you turn your head; its
lower end is attached to the bone
forming upper part of chest.
However, this bone Is not "solid. I"
but is honeycombed with little cells
or holes, and when infection gets into
these mastoid cells 1t Is called mas
toiditis, or more commonly q mastoid.
This Is q very serious condition, be-
cause these mastoid cells are very close
to the brain. Thus when there Is pain
at the lower part or point Of this bone,
it Is always q matter Of deep concern
to the physician.
In giving a simple explanation Of
the mastoid and mastoiditis, DR.. Louis
i. CuTIy, 4lll1IOIo ESACNASdA SOSASSJb 4AA
Hygeia, makes these points:
l. The masto;d is the bony hump
on the skull behind the ear.
2. In individuals who have not had
ear disease, the mastoid is filled with
cells or bony pockets. When there has
been disease of the ear these pockets
are blocked up.
3. The mastoid cells are part Of the
middle ear structure. Other parts Of
the middle ear are the tube running
into it from the mouth to let air go
against the inner side of the ear drum,
and the middle ear cavity inside the
drum in which are located the three
little bones which carry sound from
the drum to the special part which
receives the sound and carries it to the
brain.
4. Mastoiditis Is an Inflammation Of
the mastoid cells and usually follows
infection In the throat, which infec-
ton has been carried up to the middle
ear through the little tube above men
toned.
S. The seriousness of an infection
of the mastoid arises from the fact
that it lies close to large blood vessels
and the brain itself.
6. Unless mastoiditis is relieved by
surgery at the proper time it may ex-
tend to these blood vessels and to the
brain and cause serious complication.
Remember then, that physician
should be called when there Is pain
behind the ear in cases where there
has bean throat and aRy Inflammation.

10 QuOJS d 1IlcllQ Will q H4S-
turesque Charlestonian manner Of
expressing herself. All those enticing
little bottles of flower fragrances, the
baskets of Spring flowers dotted along
the counters, the tempting boxes Of
dusting powder, the lovely colored
soaps all suggest the unlimited possi-
bilities for Easter gifts that any girl
or woman would love to receive.
Starting with "a" and covering at
least some of the high lights, we will
tell you first about the Easter pres
entations of one Of the leading cos
metic houses. Here you will find a
lovely Easter egg Sachet packed in a
festive white gift box. Peeping out
through a cleverly fashioned egg
shaped opening are delicately scented
satin sachetS in Gardenia or Fleur de
Riviera. A looking-glass lipstick is
another intriguing little gift. For
enchanted Spring evenings this lip
stick is quite indispensable with its
bar of jewels across the top. When
you pull out the stick the mirror flipS
up. No chances here of giving the
wrong shape to your cupid's bow.
This very smart lpStick also comes
in plain gold finish for less formal use.

THE temple of perfumes containing
your favorite scents arranged

Sizable Easter eggs in white, and

to reveal three small crown-capped
f1acons Of exquisite perfume. Gayly
colored eggs for Easter Is an old Rus

custom in this delightful gift ever

The Old Gardener Says:

Lawn work should be done
early. This Is the time to use
roller. Some amateurs think they
must get their moneys worth
when they purchase a roller and
so use 1t at intervals all Sum
mer. This does more harm than
good. A good rolling in the
Spring, however, Is Of great value
as it firms the earth, pushes the
plants back into the soil and
smooths out uneven places. 1t
must not be used while the soil
Is sticky or much harm will be
done. 1t also Is q good plan to
90 over the lawn with an iron
rake. Wherever patches Of bare
ground are found, the soil should
be loosened with the rake and
grass seed sown thickly. 1t Is
advisable. Of course, to feed the
grass with a good lawn fertilizer.
Many experts use pulverized
sheep manure and find it very
beneficial, although the claim Is
sometimes made that 1t intro
duces weed seeds.

of true shame when I saw the re-
neved expression on his careworn
face when I opened the door on the
morning of my return!
That face had not been careworn
two weeks ago, when I asked him Tn
pinch hit for me during my absence.
No indeed. 1t was young, bright and
cheery-in fact, exuded an optimism
that I felt at the time was doomed
to be nipped in the bud before it grew
much older. He was so confident, so
delighted at the chance to put over"
a message from the masculine world
to the feminine one, right within its
own sacred precincts, SO to speak.
He was sure everything would De
simple-all he had to do was to write
a column a day, wasn't it? And say
just what came into his head? Ger
tainly! Why, that was fun-child's
play almost! Don't give it another
thought-he'd take care of the situa-
ton!
LIE TOOK care of it all right
but the situation turned around
and bit the hand that fed tit took
care of him, and none too pleas
antly, either! He found, in the first
place, that when he really got down
to telling the ladies a few home
truths they we're easier imagined than
uttered. The ladies didn't appre-
ciate home truths, unless so artfully
presented to them that they couldn't
detect the bitter pill inside the sugar
coating. The moment he began soft
ening the blow, so to speak, the men,
bers of his own sex jumped on him
and accused him of pulling his
punches and being a sissy. He got
a little braver, then, and put over
a few fast ones-only to catch it from
the ladies again in no uncertain terms.
Thus buffeted back and forth, he
tried to gain support from pals in

~HE greatest art in the world and
the one that Is the least un-
derstood and seldomest prac-
l. ticed is the art Of minding
your own business. Somehow there
seems to be cosmic urge to stick your
fingers into other peoples pies that is
irresistible. We can't see any one
doing anything from rolling out the
pastry to running the Government
without proffering advice about how to
do 1t and telling just how much sugar
and spice and constitutional amend
ments to put into it. We may have
made failures of our own lives and
committed every blunder that is pos
sible to make, but that doesn't hinder
us from meddling in other peoples af-
fairs.
Probably no other one person in the
world does so much harm as the
butter-in. He, or she especially, for
the female Of the species is more
deadly than the male, is the instigator
Of divorce, the breaker-up of homes,
the wrecker of friendships, the scat
terer of families, the cause of untold
bitterness and heart-burningS and
enmity and loneliness. For the time
comes when even a worm turns and
the meekest and most patient of us
get to the place where we can no
longer stand having an outsider inter-
fere with all of our risings up and
sittings down and telling us just how
to do it.
WE DON'T acknowledge it openly,
but we all know in our secret
souls that the thing we long for most
is not riches, nor fame, nor even love,
but the ability to do as We darn please
without suggestion or advice-to be
able to eat what we like without being
told how bad it is for our stomachs
to be able to read in bed without
being warned about our eyes; to pick
out our own clothes without being told
that our hats are too young for us
or our neckties too gay and that we
look better in black than we do In
red; to be able to crafty our little
personal tastes without interference
And this earthly paradise might be
ours If only those about us would mind
their own business and let us mind
ours.
What's the bane of marriage? What
starts all the family rows? Husbands
and wives won't attend to their own
business and refrain from meddling
with their mates. You said it. As
long as husband provides the food
and eats what is set before him and
asks no questions and leaves wife free
to indulge in her personal 1diosyn-
crasieS in millinery and join whatever
clubs she sees fit, all is peace and
harmony. But let husband begin to
snoop in the garbage can, criticize the
cooking, knock wife's new hat, dictate
to her about everything she does and
they get mixed up in a good row.
AS long as wife sticks to her knit
ting and leaves husbands business,
politics, religion, friends and clothes
alone, marriage is grand, sweet song,
but it turns into an anvil chorus the
minute wife undertakes to run hus-
band and make him over according
to her little cut-paper pattern.
PARENTS are always complaining
that their children are so eager

Mary may be graduate Of a school
OF domestic science, but mother won't
let her stir up cake without telling
her just how to do it. Tom may be
one OF our rising young business men,
but father advises him just how to
run the store. Mother is sure the girl
Tom goes with is mink who Is after
his money, and she doesn't see why he
doesn't like the girl she has picked out
for him. Father Is suspicious of
Mary's boy friend and warns her that
she had better listen to his advice and
marry a nice, settled, middle-aged
widower.
Neither can step out Of an evening
without being put through a question:
naire about where they are going and
how long they are going to stay; nor
get letter nor a telephone call with
out its being made a matter of family
debate. Mother and father, having
no business Of their own, make their
children's affairs their business, which
is bad business all around.
And the one solution OF the in-law
problem is for each party to mind his
own busines, as is amply proved by
the fact that in those cases where
mothers and fathers, brides and new
husbands do have the intelligence and
the heroic self-denial to refrain from
interfering with each other, the dove
of peace hovers over them and they
develop strong affection and admira-
ton for each other. 1t is q great
art, minding your own business. Pity
we don't practice 1t a little more.
