NOTES ON BELLY ACHE

Two of the terrors of childhood
that never happen, as nearly as I
can learn, are cramps" from going
in swimming when too warm or
something and cholera morbus" =
tremendous belly ache and vonnit-
ing and diarrhea from eating
green apples. These bogies belong
in the same category as the village
barbershop myth that if you place
a hair from an horses tai, or even
human hair, In bottle Of water,
in due time it will turn into a
snake. Probably most boys and
girls today smile at these childish
beliefs of most grownup people
fifty years ago.
Today the first thing parents
think of wien a boy or girl has a
belly ache is appendicitis.
Since people generally have be-
come aware of the fact that the
appendix is situated in the south
west portion of the abdomen a good
deal of misunderstanding, confusion
and unnecessary alarm Is occasioned
by misinterpretation of the sig
nificance of belly ache.
Although the appendix is in the
right lower corner Of the abdomen 1t
does not follow that pain or dis
tress due to inflamma zion In the
appendix is felt in that same SOUTH
west section.
On the contrary, the pain or dis
comfort (often it is not so much
pain or ache as it is sense Of
| great tension or compensatory
usually occurring with the onset of
appendicitis is felt in the "pit of
stomach thai Is, In the middle Of
the belly (frot wall of abdo-
mem well up in the north temper
ale zone. Only after the Appendix
citis, if that is what the belly ache
means, has progressed consider
ably does tie lower right quadrant
become tender or painful. This is
a little lesson in safety first for
every one-remember that the belly
achec of appendicitis does not begin
in the southwest but rather in the
north midsection. If the ache, pain,
soreness or distress is felt on one
side it is unlikely OF signify trouble
N the appendix.
Another little lesson In safety
first which every one ought to learn
Is this:
In any case of belly achec If there
is any suspicion of fear Of appen-
dicitis it ir dangerous to take a
Laxative or cathartic. Should the
trouble actually be appendicitis, the
effective of laxative or catnartic is
to aggravate and perhaps increase
or hasten spreading Of the inflam-
nation. In the statistics accumu-
lated by careful study Of this ques-
ton over man. years we have con-
vicnrg proof that the wisest man
agement of acute belly ache Is
quier, rest, no medication unless or
until medical attention Is pocured
and especially NO PHYSIC and Of
course no enema or injection In
''u of physic, for the effects, in
crease in peristalsis or intestinal
activity or movement, are the same
spreading OF Inflammation, great
er chance of peritonitis general
inflammation of bowels) which is
the fatal outcome of appendicitis
untreated or Improperly treated.

NATIVE GROWTH
PROVIDES FOOD
Sufficient for Wild Life,
State FOresters
Determine

Native shrubs, vines and trees
that grow wild life In Connecticut
are superior to exotic paintings for
feeding and sheltering wild life, a
milneographed report Of progress,
circular number 6, issued from the
Agricultural Experiment Station ct
New Haven, indicates.
After checking on paintings IN
state forests, on woodlands and pas
lures, and closely observing the
habits Of native vegetation In these
places, q. A. Cromie and DR.. Ray
nond Kienholz, authors, conclude
that such paintings are usually q
waste Of time and money.
In 1885 approximately 1900 ex-
otto plants were set out in cleared
sections Of state property, chiefly In
an effort to provide food for game
birds, the foresters state. Two thou
sand Of these, In various locations,
were tagged for observation. During
the first check, six months later,
1t was found that % percent Of the
shrubs, vines and bushes had per-
ished and that others were being
crowded by native growth. Further
observations In 1889 indicated that
from 40 to 10 percent Of the planted
material had died out and that the
res would not live without attention.
Most Of the berry-bearing bushes
and shrubs had failed to fruit.
Meanwhile multitudes Of native
plants had sprung up In the clear
ings and many Of these were waltz
able In feeding and providing shell
ter for wild birds and animals.
The authors conclude that 1t ap.
pears useless to plan introduced
species unless much care Is given
them. II only a little time were
spent cutting worthless trees shad-
ing the native growth along stone
walls and in uncultivated places,
there would be ample material TO
sustain the bird life and other wild
creatures Of Connecticut.
DR.. Kienholz Is research director
OF the State Forestry Department.
The circular will be sent to citizens
of the State In response to request
addressed to: Forestry Department,

Station, New Haven, Conn.

|CITY employees
| MAY PROTEST
Reported Preparing Peti-
tons for Pay Cut Re.
stOratiOn

CITY employees were today reported
drafting petitions and protests for
submission to the boards Of aldermen
and finance asking that the 1910 city
budget include provision for the
restoration Of the 10 per cent pay cut.
The move was sptrred BY reports
that there Is considerable sentiment
in offlcial circles for q continuance
Of the wage cut for another year.
The 1910 budget has occupied the
board Of finance for weeks, with
meetings having been held almost
every night In the week. The budget
will be offered to the board Of al
dermen for action next week.
Mayor Patrick M. Perriello's hope
Of o 30-fnill tax rate, drop Of i've
mills, cannot even come near realiza.
ton unless the pay cut Is continued.
AS It stands now, 1t appears that
there will be q 33-mill tax rate next
year If the pay deduction Is restored,
and O 31-Inill tax rate II 1t Is con-
tinued. The mayor believes that
other items can be shaved down to
bring about q tax rate reduction Of
another mill.
Teachers have already protested
against continuance Of the pay cut
The firemen have already submitted
petition asking for return Of the
10 per cent, and policemen and other
city employees are now taking similar
steps.

CHEAPER TO SAIL
UNDER PANAMA FLAG
These factors are largely ecoTl-
onaic. Steamship men here point out
that Panama does not require that
the owners or officers and crew Of
ships registered under her flag be
citizens Of Panama.
She has practically no safety"
legislation governing her merchant
marine, nor has she any maritime
labor legislation. Consequently 1t Is
much cheaper to operate q vessel
under the Panamanian flag than 1t
Is to sail under the flag Of q cour1-
try like the United States.
Examination Of q recent listing OF
the Panamanian merchant marine
shows only eight out Of the 1856 ships
there registered give Panama as
their home port. Fifty two give
American cities as their home ports,
20 list Oslo, and 26 list London,
Seven are listed as from Hong Kong,
A large number Of vessels under
the Panama flag are tankers. OF the
Scandinavian-owned vessels flying
that flag. many are steam walers
and their consorts. Largest vessel
under the Panama flag is the Vest
