OLD PEOPLE are frequently
tortured by itching, especially in the
winter time. No eruption can be
seen, but on elderly skin it is a regu-
lar thing to find the excavations and
cores Of scratching marks. The only
reason for this is the atrophy of the
SKIN tissues, especially the tissues
beneath the skin proper. This leaves
a thin parchment-like skin. 1t is dry
because the glands which ordinarily
lurnIsh fabrication to the skin have
S'rophied. Precipitation is also I'M
common in the aged.
The condition is worse in places
"here the skin is in folds, where one
surface touches another. 1t is worse
IN the winter time because Of our
uury close houses. The humidity in
.1e American house in the winter is
almost like that of the Sahara
Desert.
Worst of all is too much soap and
water for old skin. In fact, this ap-

phor ice or camphor and menthoi
ointment may give relief, and some
times it is necessary to use an appli-
cation Of cocaine.
The general toxemia of the aged,
which is quite common, may be a
factor in itching, which will have to
be treated by eliminants such as cas-
cara or rhubarb.
Another very troublesome senile
change is bronchitis. The tissues Of
the lungs after the age of 60 are
very liable to deteriorate steadily,
producing a complicated situation
in which infection is very liable to
occur, running into chronic bron-
chitis and asthma. Cough mixtures
containing squill are favorites with
old people and indicated vapors are
also valuable in these conditions.
The digestion and the state OF the
bowels should be very carefully con-
trolled.
"Asthma"
The asthma may be simply q
form of breathlessness and can be
treated in the same way as the
chronic bronchitis. Asthma in elder
ly people is liable to occur at exact
~ the same time, usually at night.
Trousseau, the great French clint
clan, after he was go years old, woke
I'D every morning at 3 o'clock with
an attack of asthma. He would
wake with a sense of oppression in
breathing, and just as he was fully
awake, he stated, the clock struck
three.
The asthma remedies used in
younger and stronger people are too
drastic in these cases, and perhaps
the best treatment is the smoking of
strarnonium leaves and inhalation
of medicated vapors.

Reddish Gains Lille
Glory in Beating
Howell Here
Wills, Capital WeIter,
Takes Spotlight With
Quick K. O. Of SoIters

Willie Reddish today deserted
this sector with a unanimous de-
cision victory over pillowy Jim
Howell, achieved last night before
some 800 spectators at Turner's
Arena, and left the general impress
sion he never will create more than
a mild stir in heavyweight ring
ranks.
The Philadelphia Negro, who has
focused his immediate ambition on
obtaining a match with Tony Ca
lento providing Joe Louis leaves
Tony in one piece, hardly buoyed
his prestige with the triumph, for
the well-cushioned Howell still was
in excellent health at the end of the
10-round bout. And that was more
than most fans expected.
Fast for a Big Man.
There were snickers and booes
when the exclusive gathering viewed
Howells mattressed midsection, but
the 224la pound specimen was de-
ceiving. He was light on his feet,
packed fair wallop and somewhere
along the line had absorbed enough
fistic knowledge to harass worried
Willie.
Reddish, however, wasn't exactly
idle. He bored in continually,
bouncing blows of Howell's generous
frame, and occasionally landed an
authoritative poke to the whiskers.
But Jim refused to fold, although he
did tire perceptibly in the late
rounds, and laughed at Willie's at
tempts to place him in cold storage.
Wills Scores Speedy Kayo.
Frankie Wills. local welterweight,
snatched the spotlight in the pre-

Novo Camp More Suited
To Beers Fancy
By JOHN LARDNER,

special Correspondent ol AAe oeoA'
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE pro-
moters of the Lou Nova-Max Baer
fight made slight error in cast
ing when they assigned Mr.. Nova
to train at the headquarters of Dom
the Omnipotent instead of Mr.: Baer.
Dom the Omnipotent also Is
known as DR.. Pierre Bernard, and
also as the loving Guru of the
Tantriks. He runs a country club
and health camp, formerly sum-
mer resort for elephants. in Nyack,
N. Y. Mr.. Nova will train for the
fight at Oom's place. Mr.. Baer
would have been a better selection
for this spot, being screwball in
his own right.
Nova thinks he can lick Joe Louis,
but he is sane in every other re-
spect, and probably will not appre-
ciate the subtler overtoneS in the
character of Dom the Omnipotent,
the loving Guru of the Tantriks.
However, the loving Guru has slowed
up considerably in the last few
wears. Today it would be hard to
distinguish him from the average
training camp landlord. The aver
age training camp landlord is broad
of beam and fond of sport, and that
description fits Dom the Omnipotent
pretty well.

Matte Brown, the former Wash

and let fly with the left-handed
prediction that Joe Louis won't
knock out Tony Galento IN June.
"Confidentially," said Matte,

himself into frenzy and actually
hates Louis. He'll come out

Dom Now Solid Citizen
Of Upstate County

Though he is said to have origi-
mated in Seattle, or possibly Chicago,
as plain Peter Coon, DR.. Bernard
was a full-hedged Hindu mystic
in 1911, the year that his combi-
nation spiritual-physical culture cult
took New York City by storm.
The doctor called his cult Tan
trika. The members were Tantrlks,
and he was their loving Guru. Seat
tie or not, he was said to have very
genuine flow of Sanskrit conversa-
ton at his command, including the
latest slang. He also was said to be
q retired semi-pro ball player.
New York City becoming too small,
the doctor took his cult and his
flowing robes up the Hudson River
q piece to the town of Nyack, where
he communed with Nirvana and
dabbled in real estate on the SIDE.
His country club cult was a great
success out of doors. Dom the On
nipotent installed elephants as an
added attraction and on one occa-
sion rode the star of the herd, Rosie,
down the main street of Nyack in a
howdah.
The real estate holdings doomed,
and the loving Guru of the Tantriks
emerged as one of the county's most
substantial landholders and mer-
chants. He was elected president OF
a bank backed the local Demo-
cratic ticket, was defeated, staged
ball games and fights, abandoned his
mystic robes, and by now has just
about outlived his gaudy past. AS
I said, Dom the Omnipotent is slow
ing up. But he still would make a
better host for Max Baer than for
Lou Nova.
