QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Mrs. G. B.: "Can an overactive
thyroid be cured without an opera
ton? Can it cause Indigestion, dir
illness and visual troubles?"
Answer: There is hardly any
subject in medicine that requires
more judgment than the decision
about the treatment of a case of
this kind. Undoubtedly such cases
get we'll without operation, but if
the condition is allowed to go on too
long, there may be heart damage
and eye damage. Certainly the de-
cision and management must be left
to the family physician. The symp-
toms mentioned can all be caused by
overactive thyroid.
D. D.: "What effect has coffee ON
a nervous person? Does it affect the
heart in any way?"
Answer-The fundamental effect
of coffee is to increase the circula-
ton of the blood. By driving more
blood through the brain it causes
wakefulness by driving more blood
through the heart it improves the
condition of the heart muscle. Nerv-
BUSINESS is a vague term, and it is
not easy to decide whether coffee
produces nervousness. In that peo-
pie are more wakef' it probably
does.
F. B.: "What causes ulcers of
the intestines? Can they be treated
and how? And if they are not treat
ed, what will be the result?"
Answer: An ulcer IN the lnLeS-
tine is just the same as an ulcer any
place else in the body. An ulcer is
solution Of continuity in the mucous
membrane. The causes are %
chemical. For instance, if you burn
yourself with acid on the skin, an
ulcer will result. (2) Physical. If
you get grain of sand in your eye,
it will eventually result in an ulcer.
60 Infection. A germ may light on
mucous membrane surface and
cause ulcer. Ulcer in the intestine
is more likely to be infectious than
of any other kind. All ulcers tend
to heal. Ulcers of the intestines,
if left alone, and if on a bland diet,
will also heal.

VOICE OF THE CLOCKS

People often complain of theil
sleepless nights. and say they hearC
the clock strike many times. The
voice of the clock may not be a
pleasant sound when you want to be
Oblivious to it in sleep. Still. those
voices may start some thoughts
which will help calm your restless
mind.
There used to be grandfather S
clock. that tall and dignified sentinel
of the stairway. which licked out the
minutes in its unhurried way. It's
slow strike was suggestion that life
should not be taken too impatiently,
that there is plenty of time for every
thing. and that we should live our
lives with less hurry and scurry.
An opposite point of view was sug-
eested by the old kitchen clock in
many of the homes. which had a
quick and tingling strike. As Il
denizen of the working kitchen. its
fast strike seemed to suggest that
there is a lot of work to be done.
and we must ever be up and at it.
Then there is the light and silvery
tone attached to many clocks, which
seems to suggest that life is full of
pleasant beauty. full Of charm and
music, if we but look for that side
of existence.
Then there is the deep toned bell
effect, which suggests the richness of
experience. and how we can find the /
deeper happiness by seeking after
the higher values of life.
Some clocks. like some people. are /
always ahead of time. No tagging by /
the way for these fast and active
tickers. And then there are those
that lag behind, and are always
hurrying in vain to keep up with
the rest
So the clocks seem to be like
people, grave and gay, fast and
slow. Perhaps as you reflect how
they seem like human beings, and
how they keep ticking away with
tireless energy for century, you
may forget your troubles and go to
sleep.

Milford, Friday, March 10, 1889
FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN NATIONS

In this era when the nations are
striving and straining to raise money
fer more fighting weapons, what can
he done to make countries feel more
kindly toward the rest of the world ?
The American people have not had
to raise that question as to their
relations with Canada for 125 years.
The S5O0-mile line between these
two countries is undefended, and
neither nation would send a single
soldier over that line for any ag-
gressive purpose. The reason is that
the two nations are friends. They
may hand out some sighting remarks
occasionally, but there isn't the least
trace of hostility.
Now why shouldn't France and
Germany live together in equal
friendship? Why should not the
American people feel just as strong
friendship for European or even Ash
attic countries as they feel for Can
ada, so that war should be equally
impossible?
If war is ever abolished. this per-
manent peace will have to come /
through some such means. II can't (
come by laws. treaties. organizations,
or efforts to create peace by force.
People just simply won't be driven.
If they want peace they at least do
not start wars. If they want to
fight. they fight. The problem is to
make them want peace with all ma
tions. and have such friendly feelings
toward all nations that all these
countries want peace with them.
In democratic countries the prob
lem can be largely solved by electing
pcace-loving people to govern the
country. who will abandon hostile
gestures. and try to do justice to-,
all nations. People should be broad
enough to be willing to abolish
wrongs from which any nation suf-
fers. In dictator-ruled countries the
problem is not so simple. but in the
long run the people of all lands get
about the kind of government they
want. Even a dictator can't stand
forever against a people who resent
his power.

New Reorganization Bill

The new highway department reOr-
ganization bill which has been intro
duced by Senator Alden P. Short is
quite different from the first one that
was passed by both the House and
the Senate and then vetoed by the
governor. Shorts bill does not OBJ
ject to any one person or any particu-
lar part of the former bill but it
surely has eliminated any faint idea
of politics of which the former bill
was accused. 1t eliminates the name
Of Ebe H. Chandler as a member of
the Commission and also that of Hen
ry Hazel of Dover as a part of the
hill. 1t also eliminates the name of
the governor. either as a regular
member or as an eX-OfficiO member.
| In other words it is attempting to
eliminate the names of any who are
closely associated with either the
! Democratic or Republican party as
active workers or as office holders.
The bill also makes it a non-partizan
bill of appointments. allowing but
four of any major party to be MEM
bers, while the other three must be
of the opposite party. We under
stand it has been designed by Senator
Short and his advisors as an abso-
!utely nOn-political measure, and as
long as il is kept on that basis and
is only introduced as a measure to !
stop inefficiency and wasting of
money under the present regime. (
Senator Short will support it. As /
far as we can see it. no one, either
Democrat or Republican. can raise /
any other question concerning the
bill than its evident sincerity to stop
the use of the department for pOliti-
cal purposes. Mr.. Chandler. of
course. is state chairman for the Re-
publican Committee. although We can
rot agree with Senator Short that
this would influence Mr.. Chambers
efforts to make the highway depart
ment an efficient and economical Or
ganiZation. However. what is the
difference. If the Republicans lose
Mr. Chandler on the Highway Com
they will be that much more
certain of keeping him as state chair
man. which to our notion. is more
important to the Republicans than
anything else. right now when the
1910 campaign is coming on. How
ever. we are satisfied that the Re-
publican majority will try 10 do what
s best for the state and the highway I
department.. Let's not bother in just |
what manner it is done. Let's stop j
he spending of funds so unnecessar- V
ly in the highway department and I
lut the chief engineer back in charge I
instead OF a political secretary who
lOes the hiring and firing" for pure
V political reason. and who has put Il
