In reviewing the history Of labor
unions the Americana points out
that organizations of laborers have
existed from time immemorial and
that the guilds of the Middle ages
were exclusive and monopolistic,
caring nothing for other workers.
This form appeared among the
shoemakers Of Massachusetts, IN
1648, organized mainly to control in
ferior workmen. Similar organiza-
tions in other industries were al
ways local and more or less tempo
rary. The birth of the modern trade
union movement may be assigned
to the closing years of the Eight
eenth century, though it never at
tanned the dignity Of q movement
until the Nineteenth century was.
well under way. Famous First
Facts gives 1902 as the date for
the first local craft union, that of
Philadelphia shoemakers. The la
Dor movement grew out Of the in
dustrial revolution which brought
about change in the manner and
means Of production, and SO caused
a wider separation between master
and journeyman. The Americana
states that trade unionism reached
the coming OUT stage with the or
ganization Of the Mechanics Union
Of Trade Associations at Philadel-
phia in 1927.

would it discourage you to give

Most Troublesome
A mere list of all the parasites
that man harbors would outrun the
limits of this space. But the three
most troublesome, if may judge by
my correspondence, are pin-worms,
round-worms and tapeworms.
Pin-worms are we'll described by
their name. Tiny white things that
look like a pin or thread, they are
the common parasites of children.
But the incidence Of pin-worm in
festation in adults is very high.
They live in the lower part of the
intestine and crawl out over the sur
face of the skin around the anus.
This causes the only symptoms of
pin-worm misunderstanding and
burning and irritation of the parts
around the buttocks. Re-infection
is very natural because the child
scratches the itchy part and en-
ables live worms and eggs to re-
enter the digestive tract.
Treatment must aim at destroy
ing the parasites in the bowel and
the prevention of re-infection.
Enemas Best
Since the worms inhabit the
lower bowel, they can best be at
tackled by enemas. The Oldest and
still best ingredient is quassia. The
quassia enema is made by dlssolv-
ing two ounces of quassia chips in q
pint of warm water. (The domestic

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

MRS. PARRISH smcothed the
fingers of her beige suede gloves
and tapped her foot impatiently on
the tiled floor in the waiting room
of the Mcleod Features Syndicate
offices.
She had been waiting twenty
minutes to see Mr.. Henderson, the
new fiction editor. Considering
that he had written to ask her to
call on him, she felt that it was the
ultimate in rudeness for him to
keep her waiting.
The receptionist said: MRS. Par
IRISH, Mr.. Henderson can see you
now. Second door to the left,
please"
In the corridor Eleanor looked
into the mirror of her compact and
pushed a stray lock OF hair back
into place. She hoped that Mr.
Henderson would not think she was
as young as she looked. 1t might
be difficult to convince an editor
that a woman of twenty-three and
a half was a tried and experienced
novelist.
He said: "Mrs. Parrish, you are
only child"
Eleanor smiled frostily.

surprise echoing in her voice.

IN MY mail there is regular
succession of letters about infesta-
ton with worms. And probably
more than any physician I can real
ize how universal that problem is.
When we hear statistics on the sub
ject, it is hard to give them Gre
dence, but the fact is that probably
every person in the world is har-
boring, or has once harbored, an
intestinal parasite. "Unwelcome
guests" they have been called, but
few Of us feel any symptoms from
them, so we hardly realize that they
are unwelcome.
If "worms" can be called a dis
ease, it is about the oldest of all dis
eases. Indian and Chinese physi-
clans described worm infestations

The enema should be supplement-
ed by the use of santonin by mouth.
Preceded and followed by a purge.
santonin is given in the dose of
one-quarter to one-half a gram for
child of three. Santonin candy is
obtainable.
To prevent re-infection the para
sites that are imbedded in the skin
of the buttocks must be killed. Any
antiseptic, such as tincture of TO-
dine, will accomplish this.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E.. M. S.: "Please describe the di-
sease yellow jaundice," and tell me
it it is durable. The patient is a
child. What is the treatment"
Answer-Jaundice is the condi-
ton of bile getting in the blood. It
is known by the yellow coloration
of the skin and eyeballs. Normally
the bile flows down the bile ducts
into the intestine. If there is any
obstruction, such as a gladstone, in
the pile duct, the bile is forced into
the blood stream. Jaundice can also
be caused by infection of the bile
tracts: This form is painless. +
should guess from your description
that is what your patient has. It is
durable and goes away in about
tnree weeks. Treatment is by a fat
free diet and sodium phosphate
(teaspoonful in a half a GLASS of
warm water) before breakfast.
N. S.: "Will you kindly advise mc
whether fish is more Of a calcium
builder than chicken or lamb?"
Answer = Neither fish. chicken
nor lamb is especially good as a
calcium builder. Except that feb
livers or fish liver oils, such as cod
liver oil or halibut liver oil. has the
property of fixing calcium in The
tissues. Most of our calcium comes
from milk and vegetables.
