Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

In certain parts of the body
where there is likely to be much
rubbing or pressure. the tissues
develop sacs of fluid which serve
to minimize the effect Of the
irritation.
Tailors get these little sacs Of
fluid or bumps from sitting with
their legs crossed. Many people
get similar bumps from wearing
shoes that fit badly. These
appear in the form of bunions
at the head of the big toe, where
the bursa forms between the
hardened skin and the calloused
bone. Little ones form occa-
sionally under hard corns.
AS result Of continued irri-
tation and pressure, the bursa
may become distended with
fluid. after which 1t will hurt
when touched and become tender
and painful when the joint is
moved. II the condition is chron-
ic, the walls of the sac contain
ing the fluid become thick.
There may be bleeding into the
bursa. and when the blood clots,
it will become more solid to the
touch.
DIR. L. r. Broster has listed
the areas in which the bursas
occur most often. The one that
occurs over the front of the
knee cap is called prepatellar
bursa, and also gives rise to a
condition known as housemaid's
knee.
These bursas may occur also
back of the knee cap-some-
times at the back OF the knee
itself-where there may be
pressure from the clothing.
Sometimes there Is a burss at
the hip joint. sometimes under
the buttocks and, occasionally,
at the back Of the leg where
the long tendon comes up from
the heel. Sometimes bursa
will form at the elbow, particu-
larry in miners and athletes.
Finally there is a big bursa,
which frequently becomes in
famed, just under the big
muscle over the shoulder.
There is no good way TO treat
a burss, except to remove the
cause OF the irritation or pres
sure that gives rise to II. Next
best is to clean the skin and
then have a surgeon remove ex-
cess fluid with a needle. In some
instances, il is not necessary TO
remove the fluid because con-
tinuous application of heat and
rest will permit absorption Of
the excess fluid when the chronic
irritation stops. Sometimes an
operation is required to remove
the bursa completely.

Whereupon he surveyed the re-
semblance in lobby mirror,
"I do, don't II" and made his
escape.
If you've wondered how the
titans of finance and industry
felt about the Yuletide spirit,
perhaps this will cheer you up:
outside j. P. Morgan's domicile,
guards spend a 24-hour vigil,
cycling suspiciously those who
step too close.
But at the Christmas season,
the Waterman was in seasons
cheer. To all those who passed
and paused, he said, Mr..
Morgan and 1 wish you a merry

An EnvisbIe Fire Record

Chief Emory Whitaker and members of the city fire
department may well be proud of their achievement in the
year just ended Fire losses but S94S50 the lowest in
any period since 1905 In the latter the
loss was $S0OOO This is record that win seldom be
matched or better speaks WELL too for the cooperation
the public has given the department.
Prevention rather is most desirable The fire
department under Whitaker has pansakngy for years
enlarged its activities fire prevention This perhaps is
one Of the reasons for the signal in 1889 Building
restrictions and expansion of water facilities also play part
Whatever the total of Tacoma should be con-
graduated having such efficient fire department Hats
off to Chief Whitaker and his men.

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, JANUARY 4

This is an unimportant day in
planetary direction. I'll omens
seem TO affect money interests.
Banks may be ruthless in coll
Letting loans.
Heart and Home: This is not
an suspicious date for romance.
Young folk will be inclined to-
ward caution in assuming future
responsibilities. Girls need not
look for declarations of devotion
under this sway. 1t is a good
time for readjustment, as house,
holds settle down to routine
programs. The family budget
will be discussed and purse
strings will be frightened.
Busin ess Affairs: Trade
should be good all through the
month. Unemployment will be-
come an increasingly local prob
lem solved in communities
through close knowledge Of per-
sons and conditions instead of
on a national scale that pre-
cludes understanding of personal
needs. Work will be demanded
of the fit as the effects of ease
and idleness are noted. Revela-
lions OF waste OF public money
for relief will encourage wise
reforms. Efficiency will be de-
manded by employers who will
seek to conduct merchandising
and manufacturing on a scien-
tific basis.
National Issues: Neutrality
problems will be disturbing to
the United States government
as unforeseen angles of enforce
ment are presented from day to
day. American commerce may
be impeded by trescherous meth
DDS employed by supposedly
friendly powers. Loans request
ed by European powers may
cause an international incident.
International Affairs: Naval
conflict will sharpen as efforts
10 starve the British Isles are
continued. Loss Of men will be
kept at the lowest possible num-
Der as Hitler encounters q ris-
ing tide Of opposition to his war
policies. The United States will
concentrate on the navy which

Persons whose birthdate II is
have the augury Of year OF
perplexities and Establishments.
Caution is advised in dealings
with business men.
Children born on this day
may be individual to the point
OF eccentricity. but they are
likely TO possess unusual tall
ents. They should be carefully
guided.

The company was accused Oh
issuing the order in the interest
of the plumbers and to cover up
the fact that the water supply
was far less than it was repre-
sented in the negotiations TO sen
the plant to the city.
Tacoma then had relief prob
lem but with inadequate faciii-
ties for meeting 1t. A case IN
point was that of family re-
Gently come to town : father,
mother and four children. Sick
ness depleted their resources.
One night, with every member
of the family i'll, the baby died.
1t required part of the next
day to get the undertaken who
had the contract for burying
paupers in the potters field, but
this wasn't a pauper funeral.
The undertaken said it was
such a beautiful baby that he
couldn't bear to think of laying
the little body in pauper grave.
He placed ii in white, SATIN
lined casket, called in few
friends. and gave the baby a
funeral. The tragic event awoke
Tacoma to the family's plight
and relief was provided.
An important real estate tram
saction as Tacoma went into the
new year so years ago was the
sale of 40 acres of land along
the Narrows by F. S. Harmon.
The property was described as
the most scenic view acreage
on Puget Sound" The purchaser
was a syndicate which planned
to develop the property into an
exclusive district of small es-
tates.
Things began to happen with
the money market too soon to
complete the development. The
land is still there, near the east
approach of the Narrows bridge,
and the scenery is just as good
as it was so years ago. Some
day men with money will carry
! out the original idea.
