QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

R. NJ: "Would you advise a per-
son not to begin smoking? 1 have
begun to acquire taste for the pipe
but would be able to control this
habit if you believe it would be in
furious to my health"
Answer: / certainly would ad-
wise person not to begin smoking,
just as I would advise person not
to acquire any habit. I am not sure
that it will be markedly injurious to
your health, but it certainly will be
injurious to your pocketbook and
your time.

lisping as follows: rhotocism, fol
difficulties with the sounds; lamb.
doctisma, for difficulties with the
sounds; sigmGtism, for difficulties
with the sounds.
Seldom the Cause
Physical difficulties with the vocal
apparatus are almost never the
cause of lisping. Tongue-tie, fo1
instance, rarely occurs, and is not
usually the reason for letter substi-
tutions. High palate may be cause
and a defect in the teeth also; when
one with false teeth removes his
plates, he always lisps.
Other physical defects are more
likely. Forms of Deafness, which
are unsupported, such as inability to
hear high notes, may be present.
High frequency deafness does not
allow a child to hear the sounds
distinctly. Accurate speech and ac-
curate hearing go hand in hand.
Sight also is important. In schools
for blind children there is a high
incidence of lisping.
Bad Training
But by far the most important
cause of lisping is bad training in
childhood, coupled with a poor emo
tional balance. In short, most cases
are psychic in origin.
Speech development is a very
complicated thing. The infant hasn't
the correct anatomical apparatus to
talk distinctly, nor the proper intel
lectual conceptions to do so. So it

A Fashionable Operation

IKE everything else, operations
have their periods of fashion
and popularity. An appendicitis OPP
Grafton today is considered hardly
more serious than having tonsils
removed
But only seventy-fve years ago
such an operation had never been
heard of. Interestingly enough, the
first appendectomy was performed
by a wounded soldier on himself. At
the battle of Gettysburg, a young
Union soldier was very seriously
wounded in the abdomen. For sew
eral days after he was taken to the
hospital, his appendix exuded from
the wound, and could be held in
place only by tight congresses and
bandages.
One day while his nurse and ooc-
tor were out of the room, his bandage
became united and fell off. Find
ing the appendix again outside the
wound, he picked up pair of scis-
sors from his bed table and shipped
it off. Since there are no sensory
49, va III tiieit PdAl vi tile ullGSllNG,
he felt no pain.
The doctor was Mortified when he
found what the soldier had done. He
was Immediately moved to the SER
ious casualty ward, and everyone
expected him to die. Instead of that,
his convalescence was pleasant and
rapid. Thus was a new surgical
operation born.
But when surgeons began general
ly to perform appendectomies, they
met the united opposition of the
press and pulpit. According to some
papers, having the appendix out
caused one to lose all sense OF moral
proprieties. Whether moral or not,
it soon proved to be the cure for
what oldtime doctors called 'stom-
ach fevers,' from which so many
people had died.

COLLEGE Loses To
Northern Nine, 6-5

Bluffton college baseball players
lost a heart-breaker to Ohio North
ern university Monday afternoon on
the Northern diamond by score of
6 to 5, after leading until the late
innings.
Failure to hit in the pinches
proved the downfall of the Beavers
who left 15 men stranded on the
bases. Northern on the other hand
took advantage of every opportunity,
and altho making only three hits
the Bears fashioned their attack
into a six-run total.
Kaufman, freshman hurler, pitched
nice ball, giving up only three hits,
and in addition he raped two of
the Beavers nine safe blows. Alter
also hit safely twice.
Hard luck dogged the Burckymen
all the way. Twice with additional
runs practically assured fate ruled
otherwise, once when batted ball
hit a runner and again when the
sphere struck the umpire.
