Hoav C0UBLadder Trouble
Influences the Stomach

when the trouble is actually in the
gall bladder.
Such cases can be spotted by a
capable diagnostician by a careful
examination of the history of the
case, localization Of tenderness and
the help of the X-ray.
Surgery for Severe Cases
Treatment in severe cases Is
surgery but a great many people,
quite properly, do not like to face
this prospect. Their views gain q
good deal of support from the
medical profession. have known
several doctors with gall bladder
trouble who put off operation and
were content to be treated by med
ical means.
Medical treatment consists Of
small, easily digested meals, low in
fat. Many people gain RELIEF by
swallowing a teaspoon Of salts,
such as sodium phosphate In a
glass of warm water before break
fast while dressing in the morning.
The salt is quickly emptied into
the first part of the intestine and
it seems to have an influence In
opening and draining the gall
bladder.
A similar form o. treatment is
known as medical gall bladder
drainage, in which a rubber tube
,,,;+1, . rectal fin is swallowed until
the tip is just opposite the OPEN
ing of the gall bladder into the
intestine. A strong solution Of
EPSON salts is injected, which has
a tendency to open up an OBJ
structed duct and to cause the gall
bladder to contract.
This treatment had quite q
vogue q few years ago, and al
though tits not used so often now,
will give relief In q great many
mild cases. -----.-----------

NEW MARRIAGE LAWS

An increasing tendency toward legis-
latioR designed to prevent hasty marriages
was shown during 1887. when nine more
states enacted laws requiring periods of
waiting between the application for
license and the wedding ceremony. Tween
ty-six states now have such laws.
OF those states requiring such delays.
Delaware has the shortest, 81 hours, and
Wisconsin the longest, 10 days. Two states

PRACTICAL EDUCATION

A thoughtful contribution to the dis
cussion regarding what is desirable in the
way of present-day education was made
by DIR. John ]. Tigert, president of the
University of Florida, who declared that
the true purpose of education is to fit the
citizen to serve as well as to live.
He draws attention to two schools of
current thought, one of which would
stress cultural education, while the other
would place chief emphasis upon voca-
tional training. He admits the validity of
both, but he would rot go to the extreme
sought by the advocates of either. He
favors balanced program of education,
with sufficient flexibility to meet the needs
of each individual.
While not minimizing the value of
cultural studies and their absolute neces-
sity for those who would enter the learned
professions, DR.. Tigert points out that
zone can not live by culture alone; this is
especially true of the great mass of our
citizens who must engage in pursuits which
involve the use of their hands"
Practical education should be planned
in accordance with the needs of the in
dividual in preparation for his life's work
At present too much time is given to pre-
pairing for college entrance examinations
which only asysHaall percentage ofspublic'
school pupils will ever have the pppaf-
tunity to take The needs of thos . Who
must quit school at the end of grammar
or high school courses should have more
consideration. N

NATIONAL INCOME AND YOUR
INCOME

The national income, which has been
estimated as 80 billion dollars for 1892, is
estimated at 68 billions for 1887 and the
President speaks hopefully of raising the
figure to 100 billions
This is not impossible It can be
achieved by initiation without raising the
standard of living at all and even in the
face of a decreased standard of living. It
can also be accomplished by increased
production.
Granting that the national income can
be brought up to the 100 billion mark does
not mean that the income of average of
Americans will be raised. Such a result
depends largely upon distribution 1t may
be that a small percentage of our popula-
ton will secure the bulk of the increased
income, even as a comparatively small
group now secures incomes disproportion-
ate to that OF other social units.
The individual in Key West, who is
interested in income should also remember
that what he receives depends more upon
what he himself attempts than upon what
he persuades the government to under
take. No government can permanently
guarantee any standard of living to its
people That is something that the in
dividual must accomplish for himself.
OF course, most people realize that
there are some economic injustices that
ought to be remedied and that corrective
action will help the average citizen. But,
after all, the help that such measures will
afford can only be very small part of the
needed income. In the long run, human
beings must earn the hard lesson of self
help. II
