QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. L. W.:-"Will you kindly
advise IN what way a colonic ir-
rlgation is beneficial and why don't
physicians suggest it or recon-
mend it. Would it be in any way
harmful if one has a chronic ap-
pendix?"
Answer: In my opinion, colonic
lrrlgatlons sooner or later always
do more harm than good and that
is probably why physicians DO not
recommend them. There is no such
thing as a chronic appendix.

is a mass of muscles, tendons,
homes, tendinous insertions, bur-
sac, etc, all of them likely to be
torn, sprained, irritated or in
famed from overuse.
The muscle bound baseball or
tennis player is unable to move
some limb either effectively or
without pain and this may be due
to any one of a combination of the
conditions described in the pre-
vious sentence. The most positive
thing we know about the condition
is that it is no S to try to rush
the treatment but that it responds
to rest at first, followed by heat
and massage and gradual use and
exercise.
A somewhat similar condition is
known as charley horse" This is
pretty well localized to one muscle,
comes on suddenly with a strained
movement and is undoubtedly due
to the rupture of a small blood
vessel with a consequent hemor-
rhage into the body Of the muscle
or rupture of a muscle sheath. 1t
also responds to time, patience,
rest and massage.
Shin Splints
'Shin splints" is a term used
especially by track men. 1t is a
pain along the shin bone which
extends into the toe and extensor
muscles of the toe. 1t is due TO
many minor injuries, such as oc-
cur IN running on hard surfaces,
pounding on a track, cement floor
or the hardwood floor in a GYM
nasium. 1t is especially likely to
occur from sudden starts and
stops.
Any athlete is likely to use and
punish n limb more than the
other. Shin splints occur usually
early in the training season. The

The boat swung as the line sung through the
chock and Aware stopped water on it.

Weldon peaked his oar and watched the coils
leap from the tub. If that line caught anyone it
would twitch off his head.
The mate was palming the line with squares

They pulled.
Weldon saw the gray loom below the
face. It looked if they'd beach on his mighty
back. The mate leaned over the bow posing the
sx-foot shaft with six feet of iron and steel lance
on the end of it. Then he plunged it.
There was a tremendous kick and the lance
jerked out of his grip. They backed water like
madmen while the mate hauled the lance into the
boat. The whale was broachng few feet ahead.
He seemed sluggish. The boat bumped along the
side of the whale and then the mate plunged his
lance again, churning it up and down frantically.
The whale rolled and his flukes slashed the water
astern.

Lashing the sudsy water the whale steamed
half above the surface, blood spouting from him.
Half on his beam ends he shot like battleship in
a wide circle about the boat.

New Britain, May 13-One of .he bitterest rivalrieS in heavyweight wrestling circles in the United States will be ironed out at the Stanley Arena here Friday night when Maurice (The AngeD Tillet, worlds champion, meets Won Rob- ert, Montreal, former worlds title holder. Besides their rivalry in wrestling alone, there is plenty to make these two the worst enemies ill the game. Tillet is a parisian Frenchman and Robert is Cao- nook. There is no :ove lost between the two although they are of the same blood. Robert, last week, de- feated Sonnenberg and he looked mighty impressive. He has never been defeated in this city. The An- gel also, is undefeated in this city although a few weeks ago he was held to a draw-the first time since he became champion--by Talun, the Polish giant. The bout will go to the best two out of three falls with 90-minute limit.
 The semi-final, a potential show stealer, brings together sliding Bil- ly Hansen and Leo Nuns. This will be the first of three 30-ninute bouts on the undercard.
