CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OF
 SINUSITIS

One nose and throat specialist who was not born specialist but achieved his skill in that field through wide experience in general practice. informs me he has never been able to employ diathermay for the eXtirpation of tonsils, perhaps, as he comedies, because he has never mastered the technique of the method. On the other hand he has found diathermy (electro-coagula- ton, electro -desiccatin, electro-sur- gery, nedothermy) a most gratifying advancement in the treatment of sinusitis; so much preferable to the older surgical measures that 1t has became the method of choice in his practice.
 The inference I draw from this competent specialists view is that radical surgical treatment of sinus trouble is not so good as the half baked, inexperienced specialists" of Yankeeland would have unwary Wiseacre customers think. What I mean by half-baked and inexpe- rienced is that the majority of so- called specialists in this country to- day are without any solid forunda- tion of general experience. call these trick specialists brass spec ialists" sand I tell the world they're the cure of Medicine in America.

Dangerous Drug
 Kindly tell me about benzidrine Sulphate tablets. How will they af- feet pregnant woman. Any infor- nation about these tablets will be appreciated. (Mrs. E. L. O.
 Answer-Benzidrine is far too powerful a drug for anw layman to monkey with. It would be as dan gerous to use it without your physi- cian's advice as it is to use mor- phine or strychnine.
 Food in the Can
 Friends mortified at our unortho- dox habit of leaving certain canned foods in the can in the refrigerator for hours or days before we con- sume them. She insists that health authorities warn against that as a dangerous practice. (E. E. P. anC Family.
 AnsWer-Nonsense If the can is a fit container before it is opened it is just as fit after it is opened Your friend probably harbors ima- ginations about "ptomaine' poison ing-a few backwoods health autho- rites" still faster such phobias.
 Monorchidism

 Answer-The loss of one tsticl or ovary has no effect on virility or feminacy, potency or fertility, pro- vided the remaining organ is in- tact. That's why nature provides the spare.

servative treatment I do not mean to say that surgery is never neces- sary or advisable, nor that diather- my is always preferable to more radical surgical operation. My pur- post is merely to warn the public against the pretensions made and the devices practiced by charlatans. Most of these shrewd merchants who hold themselves out to the public as specialists" would starve if they had to depend on the con- fidence and respect of the reputable physicians in the community to call them into consultation in difficult cases or to refer patients to them for their advice
 In long standing cases of sinu- sits the thyroid gland function seems to become exhausted. This calls for either the iodin ration or if the patients temperature is be- low the normal 98 between 4 and 6 D. m. daily, small daily doses of thyriod extract-the thyroid extract should be discontinued i for when tIc DOOy WclbIlt ollOWo lOSS or the pulse rate, which has been slow is more than 90 a minute when the patient is at rest. Of course thyroid extract can be safely used in this way only under the observation of the physician.
 The general hygiene, diet, cloth ing, ventilation, sunshine, air-con- ditioning, heating, constitutional remedies advisable for sufferers from chronic sinusitis are the same as those advisable for sufferers from other chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, and we'll consider these factors in separate chapter on bronchitis.
 Regular or systematic use of sprays, douches, irrigations or suc- tion is as likely to harm as 1t is to help Such treatment should be restricted to occasions or periods when the psysician specifically pre- scribes it.

PATTERN 643


 This is not only a feast for the eyes, it's a real thrill to make and wear-for everything about it is slimming, Wouldn't you just know that Pattern 643 Is Claire Tilden creation? It's such wonder" at bringing out the best points of ones figure, and minimizing ones de- fleets. The long center panels smooth down curves and give an effect of height. The curved yoke and the new neckline attract atten- tion to the shoulders-aWay from the bust-line. A lace or ribbon bow is pretty detail-and you might try buttons down the front. Why don't you make this chic pattern up in a light-color floral chiffon for now, and a dusky silk crepe for early autumn?

misery for everyone in it. The very children who make 1t so, may cas- fly develop feeling of aversion the minute they turn the corner. I am not blaming offspring altogether, for children are products of their sur roundings and training, and par ents themselves are often at fault, but it is a habit of childhood to set itself up against sisters or brothers and regard them as rivals instead of friends.
 It is hard often for us to tell just when the break comes. As little children these boys and girls got along fairly well and everything went into the common good. Then gradually natures began to assert themselves, selfishness got the up- per hand and the rifts grew.
 One thing I have found helpful in shaping the attitude of one child to another, and that is responsibil- ity. Donna should be urged, or con- ditioned to do favors for both her brother and sister. Joan should be taught from early years to feel that Donna is partly her lookout. Clem- ent should not feel that he is su- perior to his sisters, being the only boy, but take mans pride in keep ing them safe.

Keep Peace In The Family With Mutual Helpfulness
 And Good Times For All
By Olive Roberts Barton

I Older children often chafe at having to help with the younger ones. Yet they shouldn't. There is such a thing as slavery for a child who is denied childish free dom and must be the overWorked little mother" to the baby. We have had that condition to fight, and will continue to fight it.
 Sharing Fun Helps
 However, children have to learn duty to each other. And they have to learn decency and courtesy.
 I know a couple with thirteen children. Both father and mother are the funniest people alive. The children are too. There is so much fun in the family, so much give and take, they have been nicknamed "Sanger's Circus" from the famous story. Merriment is one medium of brewing good nature and cooperation.
 But there is more to it than this. Brothers and sisters need to share the same happy experi- ences. This is always the tie that binds. Have friends in. Have parties. Have picnics. And with a common interest, make every body help. Family singfests are good. Family games. Family everything.
 Make it known that the child who leases another "SaSSeS" a sister or brother or shows meanness of any sort, gives p his rights. In short, MAKE children treat each other properly You are the parent and need not stand the daily torture of Wrangling.

Scientist Hopes to Fix Exact
Site of Ackiu Battlefield
Henry B. Collins, Jr., to Work Under
Smithsonian and Park Service

/ arranged an elaborate campaign
against them, hoping to deal just as
decisive blow as had crushed the
NatcheZ.
He himself was to march up from
Mobile with a powerful force, pro-
coed along the Tombigbee River to
the site of the Chickasaw settle
ments. There he was to effect q
juncture with q powerful French
force under Gen. d'Artaguette, who
was proceeding southwark from "the
Illinois Territory" The Indians,
supposedly poorly armed, were to be
caught in wise.
But communication between the
two French forces was difIicult, for
the Chickasaws lay between them.
Gen. d'Artaguette suffered many de-
lays. Bienville himself found the
long march from Mobile much more
difficult than he had anticipated and
at one time "in five short leagues
we had to pass three deep ravines
in which we had water up to our
waists" He finally reached the
Chickasaw country with his forces
in poor condition and without artil-
lery. No word had been received
from d'Artaguette.
Chickasaws Were Ready.
Meanwhile the Chickasaws were
ready. Their defense operations, the
French claimed, were directed by
English traders familiar with Euro
pean war methods. Bienville at
tackled the palisaded village Of Ackia,
but in a three-hour battle was only
able to capture and burn some of
the houses outside the palisades.
Without artillery and short of am
munition, he was helpless and sew
eral hundred miles removed from
his source OF supplies. Realizing
the hopelessness of the battle, he
withdrew. Meanwhile, about 20 miles
west OF Ackia. d'Artaguette's force
had been waylaid and cut to pices.
Many prisoners were taken and some
of them burned at the stake. It was
almost a parallel to the defeat of
the English Gen. Braddock IS years
later, and probably of much greater
ultimate historical significance.
Thenceforth the triumphant
Chickasaws lay like an impossible
barrier between Quebec and the
French Gulf colonies, insofar as a
land route was concerned and the
country between the Appalachians
and the Mississippi was more easily
penetrated by the English. The
Chickasaws remained in control of
the Northeastern Mississippi and
Northwestern. Alabama territory for
almost century when they sue
cumbed before the irresistible south
westward expansion of the United
States.
General Site Well Known.
The general site of the battle of
Asakia is well known, it at least can
be determined from Bienville's own
account Of the fight in "a prairie pos
sibly a league in circumference in
the middle of which were three small
villages in a triangle on the crest
Of hill from which an almost dry
stream was flowing. This small prai-
rie was only a league distant from
a large one and separated from it by
q wood"
The actual landmarks, of course,
have been largely obliterated in the
course Of two centuries. Mr.. Collins
hopes, by means of archaeological
evidence. to delimit the battlefield to
its actual dimensions and also to de-
termine other sites in the neighbor-
hood which were of significance in
the history Of the Chickasaw tribe.

By THOMAS r. HENRY.


A long forgotten Indian fight may
have been one of the decisive battles
in the history Of the New World.
Henry B. Collins, jr., Smithsonian
Institution archeologist, now is at
tempting to locate near Tunelo,
Miss, the precise site of the battle
field of Ackia where, on March 20,
1876, the Sieur de Bienville, Cover
nor of Louisiana, and 500 French
colonial troops, were decisively de-
feated by the Chickasaw Indians.
That single battle. many historians
now believe, prevented the establish
ment of great French inland en-
pire in which Canada, the Louisiana
territory and the present Gulf
States would have been Joined in q
contiguous, fortified whole. It pre-
vented further French penetration
from the Gulf ncrthwestward and
the establishment of a defense line
west of the Appalachians which
the English might never have been
able to break.
Mr.. Collins is working in a CO.
operative project between the Smith
sonian Institution and the National
Park Service in view of proposals
to set aside the site as a national
monument.
Campaign Arranged.

Natchez Tribe of the Greek Con-

NEWSPAPER MAN WILL WRITE ON FISH INVASION
H. H. Hillshire Evicted from Japan Last January
 for Shopping

Kicked out" of Japan last Janu- ary. for "nosing into Navy and Army opera tions," H. H. Wiltshire, a pas senger on the Aleutian, is headed to- day for Bristol Bay "to visit my friends the Japanese again"
 Hillshire will write a series of ar ticles for the Hearst March oi Events section on Alaska, and will also do background stories for For tune and Cosmopolitan.
 While in Juneau today, Wiltshire flew to Hoonah with Lon Cope tC see Hoonah for the first time since 1917 when he was working in a cannery there for enough money to get him through the University of Washington.
 Tt was a remarkable feeling, Hillshire said, to fly over there in 27 minutes when it used to take us better than a day to get in by boat"
 Regarding the Bristol Bay st )ries Wiltshire is seeking, he will board a Coast Guard vessel at Naknek and work out of there.
 T spent four years in the Orient, J Wiltshire said, and one year in Japan I'd like to have stayed in Japan longer, but they told me tC leave"
 On returning to the United States, William Randolph Hearst called hirH to San Simeon in California where he asked him to go east and write a series of stories on Japan.
 Let me go back to Japan?" he asked T hardly think so-but al any rate, it will be interesting to find out what the little Nippon is doing in Bristol Bay"
 Hillshire's parting shot as he Jeff The Empires offices this afternoon was a fervent statement that Al aska is suffering from a lack ol publicity of the right kind. Every one in the East, with the excep- tion of few, still think there art Indians west of the Alleghanies and only ice and snow in Alaska.
 Wiltshire was formerly radio op. orator on Alaska boats and this i his 34th trip to the Territory. H. will be in Bristol Bay about 30 day and will then fly to Fairbanks anC Nome before returning to Juneal and south.
