The Habit of Medical Dosinu

the patient and it is, like all edu-
cation, a very painful process. The
patients with colitis are perfectly
willing to submit to doing every
thing that is bad for them. They
r willing, indeed they insist on
cathartics and enemas. DR.. 0. S.
Jones, of St. Louis, is very graphic
on this point. He admits complete
failure to -eeducate his patients
in normal habits. They "insist on
a complete evacuation every day
if it takes castor oil to do it. Mere
castor oil and agar are not enough:
some have been taking an enema
every day for years. Others have
been taking a laxative every other
day or every day for forty years"
Diet is a logical form of treat
ment. If the colon can be i-ritated
by irritating food, it seems logical
to eliminate the food from the diet
beans, cabbage, onions, garlic,
sauerkraut, lunch meat very in
digestible), chill, pepper, excessive
amounts of fat, and sweets.
By all odds the greatest service
the physician can do the patient
with colitis is to prevent a surgi-
cal operation. DR.. Alvarez of the
Mayo Clinic has the final statistics
on this point; all these people
think they ought to have the APP
pendix out. DR.. Alvarez found
that of 255 such patients only l
per cent was relieved Of symptoms.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
0. B. "How many hours
sleep does a person thirty years
old need? Is five or six hours
enough? People l know say yes
but | find | need eight or nine
hours
Answer - Five or six hours
sleep in twenty-four is sufficient
for anybody over the age of 80.
Most sleeping troubles are not due
to lack of sleep but what you think
about the amount of sleep you
have had. If you think five or six
hours rests you, then it is enough.
If you get to worrying about
whether it has rested you or not,
it is insufficient. However, you
better not monkey with sleep. If
You can get eight or nine hours Of
sleep do so, and let the rest of the
world 60 by.

mocks many other conditions and
is called appendices, gallstones,
cholecystitis, subacute appendi-
citis, ulcers of the stomach, and
even cancer. And because of the
many operations performed on
these patients, it has an impor-
tance out of all proportion to its
actual danger.
The causes have been divided
into local and general. The pro-
longed use of cathartics is un-
doubtedly a factor.
1t is very difficult to get these
cathartic habit people to stop the
habit. They are very reasonable
about it, and agree with you that
it is a bad thing but when evening
comes and that feeling of heavi-
ness is there, nothing seems to be
able to keep them from going to
the pill box. If you do, however,
manage to get them off the habit,
they are the happiest people in the
world.
Another cause that has been
suggested is allergy. 1t is sup
posed the spasm is due to hyper
sensitivity to a certain food and
that eating this food causes the
spasm. 1t is often a very common
food that is at fault. This is all
the more puzzling because if you
have cramps every time you have
broccoli, you IRE likely to connect
the two events, but you are likely
to eat some form of wheat or eggs
every day so your discomfort is
continuous and the connection is
hard to form.
COlitis
Various kinds of vitamins have
been used in colitis, as they have
in nearly every other ailment and
extracts Of the ductless glands
also, such as theelin or estrone,
with somewhat more success.

Although the University in Exile
has been in existence for about eight
years, it was only recently that the

Associate Supreme Court Justice
Frankfurter perhaps best described
the purpose Of the body when, at a
celebration of the granting of the
charter, he declared the Idea which
underlay the University in Exile was
the maintenance Of what we know
and cherish as western civilization" !"
But this is not all. Most of the
group have become American citi-

pean experiences tempered by their
appreciation of what American free

as conveys and, at the same time, 1t
would evade the certainty of war with
Germany.
We could undertake the protection Of
British possessions in the Pacific without
conflict with Germany. 1t is also
foregone conclusion that If our entire
feet is in the Pacific, the Japanese would
be less likely to attack US, not only be-
cause of our strength in that locality,
but because there would be no COM
pulsion due to treaty obligations by the
Japanese and the Axis powers. Further
more, such move would forestall the
possibility Of sn attack on the Dutch
East Indies for the simple reason that
Japan does not want any part of us If
we are clearly in a position to fight and
give every indication of our willingness
to do so in that particular hemisphere.
The chances are that mutual agree
ment, such as outlined above, would give
to the British even more war vessels for
convoy use than the United States would
find 1t convenient to delegate to that
duty if we were to perform the convoy
service ourselves with all the risks that
would be certain to result therefrom.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TrGce1Dell.

These dogs can scarcely be blamed II
they make a dash after a robin fiedgling
clumsily hopping around just few feet
from them.
The fiuttering of the young bird, still
not steady on its wings, seems to
intrigue some dogs as much as 1t does
some cats At this point let it be stated
that not all cats, by any means, are
bird catchersA
There seems to be catching strain,
in some cats, which others lack. The
female of the species" as Kipling said
in another connecSon. Is the deadlier.
The female cat, in nature, must supply
her own young with food, and in all
fairness 1t is scarcely right to blame
her II shI picks up bird now and then,
just to Eeep her paw in. Nature is not
always nice, by any means. Perhaps at
times we have succeeded in showing raw
nature just little too far back out of
our lives. so that IN times of sudden
demand, when We, too, are on the point
of becoming the victims of countries
which have succumbed TO the primitive
lure Of the hunt, we find ourselves unable
TO work up the proper fury of reply.
Young birds are forever falling out
Of the nest at this time of year.
The parent birds, while making a
great ortcry, cannot of themselves get
the babies back in The nest, unless the
latter can fly.
The thing to do, rather than attempt
to bring up the bird by hand. is to
put it in a cardboard box lined with
tissues, snd to tie this in a crotch of
a tree where the birds can see it. This,
of course, provided the nest cannot be
found, or cannot be reached
If bird is discovered, and there
seems TO be no natural nest or parents,
the best thing is to try to bring it up,
or, better, to turn it over to some one
who can
1t Is O. great care, however, and not
every person is equipped by tempera-
ment for the job. The feeding chores
seem incessant. The best foods for most
young birds are tiny worms and insects,
but lacking these a good substitute Is
scraped beef, or bread and milk, or
yellow Of egg.
All of the species which nest here
abouts will have fedglings out of the
nest several weeks ahead Of time this
year.
1t is good thing to be on the lookout
for them.
Assistance can be given In a very
practical way, If handful Of ground
beef is put out somewhere the parent
birds can find 1t.
Many Of the species, including cardi-
mails, catbirds, robins and song spar
rows, will find their burdens lightened
considerably by this thoughtfulness on
the part of their human friends.
The cheapest cuts Of beef can be used
for this purpose.
Canned dog meat may be tried, but
we believe fresh beef is better.
Just a little each day is a big con-
tribution to the birds nesting in your
garden and close to the house. Be sure
to feed the meat in an elevated position,
so that the dogs cannot get 1t first.

Robins we're out Of the nest by May
this spring, about two weeks earlier
tnan usual.
Friends of birds must take great care
to project them from natural enemies,
including cats, dogs and grackles.
Robin young are very large and
clumsy. They come to the lawns at
once, but are unable to fly much. or to
understand the dangers which beset
them.
Owners should take special precau-
ticns to keep pets tied up during robin
season. Perhaps this is an advice of
perfection. but some effort, at least,
can be made toward this end
All pei lsons who like the birds, and
at the same time enjoy the company of
pet dogs and cats, will cooperate.
Others may in time, as they come to
understand the necessity.
Every person, bird friend or not, likes
the robins
They are the CHEEKY fellows of city
and suburban lawns.
They abound in our parks. Every
where they come they bring real
breath o. spring, which they continue
all through the hot summer.
There is no bird better known than
the robin and none which enjoys more
general esteem.
1t would, therefore, seem essential
that all persons help TO save the fledg-
lings. AL that is required is special care
for few days in each individual case.
All the species nested early this year,
owing to the sudden coming of summer
in April.
Most Of the songsters have two. and
in some cases three, broods during
spring and summer.
There always will be some casualties.
1t cannot be helped The vicious
grackle, with its long yellow bill, kills
many baby cardinal. 1t seems to
specialize ir the destruction of the young
of this species.
1t must be remembered that the cow
bird, although there are not so many
Of them hereabouts, is another bird
which harms the young of other species.
1t is estimated that at least eight
birds of ctter species are prevented from
Matching out by the nefarious trick of
the female cowbird of laying her eggs
In other birds nests.
Those bird lovers, therefore, who set
up sucn hue and cry against certain
natural enemies are blandly overlooking
the fact that birds themselves destroy
many young birds.
If pet animals are kept in the house
during the nesting season, at least as
much as feasible, and especially in the
early morning hours, and just before
dusk, a great deal of help will be given.
Some readers may not think dogs
catch birds, but they are very fond of
trying it, and often succeed.
Indeed. some species of dogs are called
bird dogs, which ought to count for
I something
The baby robin seems to be the special
prey of the larger forms Of dogs, such
as the Irish setter, and pointers Of
various types.

Replies to Mr.. Goldsborough
And Criticixes Politicians.
To the Editor OF The Star:

~ tio Goitot Va 4he 5tes
E. K. Goldsborough's letter in your
issue for May is indicative of the type
of thinking to which the mass of people
in this continent have been conditioned.
He calls the deliberate destruction of
cotton, wheat, hogs, etc, violative OF
economic law, but does not specify which
economic law. e., natural or price
system.
No one will deny that such sabotage
is criminal violation of all natural
laws, but technocracy maintains that it
is logical and necessary part of
price system which can flourish only in
an economy of scarcity. A price system
corrodes and disintegrates in the pres
ence of abundance, hence the necessity
to maintain scarcity. Any business
leader" can confirm that statement. For
instance, at the outset of the defense
program, the steel and aluminium indus
tries opposed extension of capacity, hav-
ing an eye out for business as usual"
after the program is completed
Mr.. Goldsborough also is inconsistent
in that he seemingly assumes a funda-
mental difference between restriction
of production on the farm and in the
factory. There is none. Both the farmer
and the businessman are subject to the
same price system economic laws.
True, as Mr.. Goldsborough points out
billions might be saved the Government
but not by so-called business meth.

No End in Siqht

Recent days have been marked by
a resurgence of labor troubles in vital
defense industries, and the end is not

In Washington, strike at the
Smoot Sand and Gravel Corporation,
which promises to tie up most of the
defense construction work in this
vicinity, has resulted in the dis
turbing disclosure that the National
Defense Mediation Board is so over
burdened with work that it cannot
even order a hearing of this dispute
at the present time. The board, as
we'll as William Green, president of

jobs pending further negotiations,
but the strikers have ignored these
pleas.

AS an ex-commissioned officer of the

who has a son already in the Army, I
call upon all true Americans to halt our
muddling politicians in their present

foolish vacillation. Nero fiddled while
Rome burned and Congress Is playing
dangerous politics with our future, while
Hitler, with his puppets, italy, Japan and
