rienced specialist gently prods fool , ish sufferers with suggestions like these:
 One physician who came for treatment said My mind is one-third on my work, and two-thirds on my hemorrhoids' lady who had been a great sufferer said You can't think of anything else if you have a con- dition of this kind'"
 q know of nothing that makes a middle-aged or elderly person look so worn down and dragged out as untreated chronic hemorrhoids and their complications. It is a great satisfaction to note the change that takes place in their appearance and temperament after they have been relieved. To say they look ten years younger is no exaggeration."
 With appealing candor, Dr. Mc- Namara recalls that women former ly thought it indelicate to refer to legs, but it is now only facetious to call them limbs" False modesty kept people from speaking of rectal troubles in the past, but people now adays are learning to be themselves. After all prudery is a ridiculous performance in the consulting room.

MODERN TREATMENT OF NEGLECTED AILMENT

Thousands of men and womer have shuffered for years from one or another common ailment, suct as hemorrhoids, fistula or fisure because CD their physicians are in. competent to take care of patients well being, CD the sufferers are prudes, or(3 they have a morbid fear of undergoing an operation.
 "There is no other ordinary con- dition so likely to cause such mor- bid state of mind as chronic hem orrhoids," observes Dr. T. F. Mo- Namara, in his book Essentials of rhoids," which has taught SO many physicians the technique of this Injection Trea tment of Hemor- method (Medical Press, Rochester N. Y)
 Writing on this subject in Journal American College of Proctology, this master of the modern treatment en- phaSizes one feature which should interest all victims of these neg lected ailments good deal and phy- sicians who seek to render real health service still more. Says Dr. McNamara:
 Tt is my custom to give com- plete treatment in all quadrants at the first sitting. This should consti- tute 98 per cent of the entire treat ment in most instances, 100 per cent in many cases. If the first treatment is skillfully given, no matter how ex- tensively hemorrhoids may have pro- lapsed they will never come down after the treatment. I so assure nearly all patients. I cannot agree with psychologists who carry out the work by piecemeal treatments given week after week."

WISE DECORATION CORRECTS
 DEFECTS

An awkward ceiling height is a deect common in many houses. However, by judicious decoration, these faults can be alleviated to a great extent. If the ceiling is too high in proportion to the size of the room, by dropping the ceiling paper or paint down the wall about a foot and a half and finishing with a plain narrow molding you produce an illusion of lowering the ceiling. For a room with a ceiling that is proportionately too low, use a very light ceiling decoration.

Chesapeake Bay. The Savage River
dam, now approved, will take many
hundreds of acres away from the land
area of the county, although it is true
that the land to be covered is not very
productive and considered submargi-
nal.
But in addition to that, people of
Friendsville and Selbysport are almost
sure that a big flood control dam is
going to be built somewhere along the
Youghiogheny river, which will put
these towns completely under water.
They feel sure it is coming within the
next twenty years, as the result of
numerous surveys that have been
made in that area recently, by Federal
engineers.
1 still believe the best method of
flood control is to plant trees in the
proper places to conserve the water
that falls from the skies, and keep it
from getting to the streams and rivers
so quickly.
A flood control dam in district
would certainly cover up some good
farming country and drive a lot of
good people from their homes.

Sensible Regulation

A sensible regulation was recently
passed somehow in Washington which
is boon to most of the editors of the
country.
Recently the editors of the country
have been swamped with postal card
appeals from the many New Deal
press agents begging them to ask
for New Deal blurbs. A few of those
departments which must also ask are
the old-established ones such as the
department of agriculture which
sends out crop and weather reports
and others of like nature.
The 1910 Postotfice Department ap-
preparation bill prohibits federal gov
eminent departments from sending
through the mail free of postage any
report, periodical, bulletin, pamphlet,
list or other article or document" un-
less this service is requested by the
receiver.
This presents a pretty picture with
hundreds Of New Deal publicists wait
ing with their great stacks of press
releases, unable to mail a single one
unless somebody asks for one. Re-
ports indicate that editors all over
the country are ignoring the appeals.
1t will be interesting to see how
much stuff is sent out from these
agencies regardless.

Mans Great Weakness

James L. Mangan, writer of in
spirational copy, believes that lazi-
ness is mans greatest weakness. In
his little book, push, he vigorously
attacks the habit of laziness. He
points out that almost all other mega
tive qualities are due to laziness.
Conquer laziness and you conquer
fear, he writes. cts easy to see that
you can't be afraid, you can't worry,
while you are busy doing other things.
Conquer laziness and you conquer
procrastination, for when you are
keyed up to do all things and to do
them promptly, you just can't bring
yourself to put things off. A world
of time is at your disposal and your
life is released for the happy work of
producing. Conquer laziness and your
inferiority complex disappears over
night. The man who is full of action
cares nothing for excusing himself,
explaining his action, finding fault
with others. The busy man is the
happy man, the Superior Man.
"Goodby to fear, to sensitiveness. to
worry, to inertia, to procrastination,
to all inferior feeling, once you have
conquered laziness. And when you
bid laziness final farewell, the world
suddenly will discover you and say:
Here is Somebody"
Now, if it hadn't been for laziness,
perhaps, | would have tried to fill out
the space with words of my own, in
stead of using those of Mangan,
which are more to the point. So l
hope you will forgive my laziness, but
I'm not worried about whether YOU
do or whether you don't.

False Accusations
Jail Five in Soviet
B., the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Jan. 2.-Five former
functionaries of the. NKVD Estate
police in the Moldavian Republic,
part of the Russian Ukraine, are be-
ing tried before military tribunal
at Kieff charged with provocative
creation of artificial cases" against
blameless Soviet citizens.
The newspaper Soviet Ukraine
said today that number of people,
mostly village teachers, had been
Jailed on trumped-up charges of be-
longing to a counter-revolutionary
Fascist youth organization.
A typical case was that OF a
teacher accused in a letter to the
NKVD Of having made private re-
marks of an alleged anti-Soviet ma
ture. The functionaries, it is
charged, built up a story of a wide
spread counter-revolutionary plot
and prepared a fake report indi-
eating that Fascist youth organi-
cation involving at least II teachers
actually existed.
Jews also figured as victims of
such cases. Intimidation was used
it was charged, to make one Jew &C
cuse another of membership in a
Zionist counter-revolutionary or
ganization.

Britain May Expand
1899 Naval Estimates
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-The Herald
said today that Great Britain would
revise her naval estimates for 1899
upward by several million pounds
because of Germany's move for sub
marine parity.
There will probably be an extra
two f1otilla leaders and IA destroyers
with large numbers of small, fast,
submarine chaser motorboats," the
newspaper said.
Chancellor Hitler has notified
London that Germany intends to
more than double her submarine
strength to bring it to parity with
Britain.
Germany was understood to plan
mass production of "minnow"
submarine and to build two new
10000-ton cruisers.
Under the German-British naval
treaty of 1885, Germany agreed to
restrict herself to IS per cent Of
British tonnage in every category
but submarines, which were to be
As per cent unless by friendly dis
cussions" Germany elected to build
to the full British tonnage.
