HEALTH DEPENDS ON HOW
 YOU LIVE

HEALTH DEPENDS ON HOW
 YOU LIVE
 In 1886 Dr. Reginald Fitz of Bos- ton put appendicitis on the map. He didn't exactly ciscover the dis ease, but by his contribution clari- fled our understanding of it and the proper treatment. Of course people had been dying of "inf1am- nation of the bowels" (peritonitiS) for many generations before physi- clans learned to diagnose the illness at it's inception and to rescue the victim before the inflammation spreads beyond control.
 In the gay nineties, when I was a medical student, there were two salient features in Cur village, viz, Auntie Bindle, who suppose always had been, and Dr. Bigone, who opened the first hospital in the community. Dr. Big-one was right up to snuff; he operated on the first appendicitis cases in that part ot the world and successfully. One case that of a prominent young woman came to operation bit late-after many days of ice-bag treatment opiates, and the like. This patient succumbed follow ing operation Auntie Bindle promptly made the circuit with the inside facts. Il seemed that when the butchers opened her up they found her in'nards frozen solid" and of course could not do nothing under the cir cumstances. Now Auntie could have saved that girl with plenty of hot flaxseed tea and castor oil. but folks just hadn't enough sense to call or Auntie in such emergencies.
 In auntie's heyday no one hao ever hear-ed of appendiceetis. Il was just stomach ache then.
 There are lots of people even now who, not having had appendicitis profess to believe 1t is more or less a fad of the doctors, for otherwise why didn't we hear more about 1t when we were young?

 Activity Means Mischief
 The minute he is able to run around and climb, open drawers and get into closets, he is far more advanced in his thinking than you may realize. His gain is your loss however, because life is a regular three-ringed-circus affair-for him. and he is all the more active right now, because he can fix his mind one one thing for a very few min- utes only.
 We cannot expect him to be quiet and contented indefinitely, just hauling his tiny cart about, because it is physically impossible for him to remain absorbed for long minutes at time.
 He is tearing the house inside out now. as well as risking his little neck, most of the day. He can't help all this any more than we can help breathing. If he is prevented too firmly and continuously, he will suffer only so long, and then he's going to disappoint you.
 He may begin to keep you guess ing by poor behavior. Maybe he won't eat Perhaps he starts to suck his thumb. Maybe he gets tantrumS oTer nothing. He may become a cry baby, or be quite deliberately de- stSncsiTe.

For all know, appendicitis may be actually more prevalent today than it was fifty or hundred years ago, under whatever name. Or it may be less prevalent today than it was thirty or forty years ago q believe it is somewhat less common now). There are two contributing factors or causes of appendicitis which depend on how you live. First, focal infection. that is, Pneu- cococcus or Streptococcus in lection of the adenoid or round cell Qym- phoid) tissue in the base of the appendix secondary to an acute or chronic tonsil or throat infection. Second, a prolonged or habitual shortage of vitamins in the diet, particularly vitamins B, G and D. Both of these factors depend on how you live and so appendicitis may be more or less frequent in one generation or country or com munity than in another.
 Sinusitis is another ailment which was unknown under this name a generation or two ago. But in those days such vague complaints as "catarrh" and neuralgia" were familiar enough. Doctors today recognize that in many such cases the actual trouble is inflammation or infection of one or more of the air-spaces in the head bones and apply a more definite name to the complaint, that is all.
 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 The Old Against the New
 Should tiny tot be dressed in ballet length skirts and bare legs immediately after having been in bed several days with a cold? Should not children have knees covered in Western New York win ter climate? (Mrs. J.G.G)
 Answer-If the child is comfort able with legs or knees bare, 1t is all right, in my opinion. But, Gran'ma, if you prefer a more sensible opin- ion, lots of nice old doctors in Vest ern New York will assure you it is just too bad that the parents neglect the child that way, and they'll nut ter in their boards about rheumatic some day if not pneumonia now. ThrOmbo- -Angiitis Obliterans
 Where is the best place to go tG get the ganglionectomy treatment for thrombo-angiitis, which you recommended? (H.WL.)

Operates With State
and Federal Agencies

Since the mines in Butte began
to be shut down in October of last
year, the Silver Bow County well
fare office has met with a tremen-
dous increase of. applications for
various kinds of assistance. The
number of cases now receiving re-
lief of different kinds is approx
mately equal to the number receiv-
ing relief in 1884, causing the prob
lem of relief in the county to again
assume serious proportions after a
gradual decline here over a period
of more than three years.
Because it is felt by all concerned
that the only solution to the prob
lem is providing work, efforts have
been concentrated in securing more
WPA jobs. This has been difficult
because Congress at its last session
provided only a limited number of
WPA jobs, and further decreed, at
Montana labor news., 1938-03-03

that time, that no deficiency appro-
priation should be made to increase
the number of jobs. The various
labor organizations in Butte have
repeatedly made efforts to increase
the WPA quota in Butte through
Montana's representatives in Wash
ington, and are to be highly compli-
mented for their work in this be-
half. Even with the increases in
quota granted for Butte, there are
still one-third fewer WPA jobs at
present than there were FERA jobs
three and four years ago. This de-
plorable situation may be ~remedied
to a great extent in the very near
future through passage of a def
cheney appropriation by Congress,
thus making available more WPA
jobs here.
When the Montana Relief Com
mission became the Montana De-
partment of Public Welfare through
an act of the last legislature, so
many changes in procedure were
made that it will be Of interest to
the public to be informed of the
workings of the Welfare Depart
ment.
The County Welfare Departments
are set up in each county in the
state as the units of the state de-
partment, and r each headed by
the County Welfare Boards. Under
the board is a county supervisor and
such caseworkers as are necessary.
The Welfare Department investi-
gates and determines eligibility of
applications for old age assistance,
aid to needy dependent children, aid
to needy blind and general relief.
All applications for general relief
are also considered applications for
WPA work, so that wherever pos
sible work relief may be given
rather than direct relief. Rules and
regulations to determine eligibility
are set in most instances by the state
department and in some instances
by the county department and must
in no case be in opposition to gen
eral requirements laid down by the
federal government.
The cost of old age assistance is
at present borne by the federal gov
eminent, the state and the county
in proportions, respectively, of one
half, one-third and one-sixth. When
this phase of relief was begun in

Ode 10 Big Butte
By REvEILLE

By REVEILLE
OH Barren sentinel of the Western
skyl
By what strange prehistoric art
Are you from all your kindred sci
apart;
By what CONFUSION of old Mother
Earth
We're you spewed forth in solitary
birth:
OH Puny offspring of a Titan race,
Were you designed to fill some spe-
cial place,
These thoughts I muse each day
while journeying home,
The while I view you solemn and
alone,
And as days golden embers slowly
die
To silhouette your outline on the sky,
I ofttimes wonder if I know just
why.
OH Silent witness of the Western
plain,
The one creation rescued from their
reign;
I often think that it must give you
pain
To see one master grasp the whole
domain.
No gaping wounds upon your sides
appear;
No servile mark confesses greed is
near
Save for that tell tale mark they
gave you when,
They branded on your breast that
vandal "M".
L'EnvOi
Oh! Independent, solitary mound!
AS Anaconda every thing around,
Winds in its all devouring greedy
NAV:
You still are wont to symbolic to me
The spirit of the few who yet are
free,
The noble few, content with want
mid squalor
To vassalage beneath a copper collar:
No tyrant master conquered these
oppressed
And they, as you, stand forth from
all the rest.
