deeply interested in matters

Identification of Key West, or
adding to its, attractiveness in
any way, is to contact members
of the Parent Teachers Associa-
ton, and interest them in the eff
fort to increase civic pride in
the children and instill in them
the desire to aid in this city wide
project.
There are many children who
thoughtlessly pluck a leaf or
twig from a plant when passing

are also a number of adults who,

greatly increased by the activi-
ties of the Garden Club.
1t is the plan of the club mem
bers to try and eradicate from
the minds of the thoughtless,
both young and old, this ten
dency to destroy and awaken, in
stead, desire to give all assist
ance to the cultivation of beauty
in plant life and at all times aid,
rather than retard, the efforts of
the members of the Garden Club
in making Key West in reality. a
city beautiful.
Every citizen is called upon to
show their appreciation of the
work, and when the time arrives
that trees are to be planted in
front of their residences. to give
TO the club short period of time
daily and place one, or several,
buckets of water on the growing
trees.
One of those attending the
meeting last night remarked this
morning that if the lines from
that glorious poem Trees
would be thought of in which is
written Poems are wrote by
fools like me, but only God can
make a tree, there would be
fewer foolish and destructive ac-
tivity on the part of those who
careleSsly destroy the beauties
of the growing things which are
abundant in Key West.

On Arthritis Cases

hopeful thing is that they can all
be improved. The equity type Of
arthritic, of course, must be placed
upon a diet and this is the principal
element in treatment. Diet does not
play much Of a part in the other
forms Of arthritis except that the
underweight people of the first type
should have forced feeding in order
to bring up their weight, and the
obese people of the second group
should have their weight reduced.
Rest is very important feature
in treatment of the first two types.
This means not only general rest
in bed, but also splinting of the af-
fected member.
With rest is combined judicious
movements of the limbs, particu-
larly to attempt to increase the
range of motion Of the joints. Every
stiff joint should be moved through
it's full range Of motion several
times day, either by the patient
himself or by an attendant.
Heat is important in treatment;
not only local heat but the use of a
hot, dry climate with the facilities
of a hot spring and alkaline mineral
water. For this reason the climate
of Arizona and New Mexico is par
ticularly favorable.

tients who are liable to have this
condition are young, underweight,
anemic, with glossy, atrophic skin.
Due to Infection
It is considered by the doctors
whose clinic I visited to be due to
an infection either in the teeth, ton
sis, bowel or elsewhere.
The second type occurs in middle
aged people and is called "degenera-
tive arthritis." This is liable to
affect one or two joints only and
these are not symmetrical. In other
words, if it affects the bones of the
hand, it is not likely to affect the
bones Of the other hand, but may
affect also the bones of the feet. The
patients are overweight in contrast
to the first group. Their general
health is good; they do not have the
anemia that characterizes the first
group; their nutrition and skin are
first rate. :.
The third type is known as equity
arthritis, which affects middle-aged
people who have lived we'll. They
are liable to be overweight, with the
equity deposits occurring particular
ly in toes, or in the elbows or hands.
In the first and third groups little
Jumps appear underneath the skin
