Some ailments which seem slight in
Themselves can cause a great deal Of
suffering and be o threat to health. Of
ten they are warnings that a serious
illness is developing.
| was reminded Of this fact by the
comments Of a patient who had just
recovered from a severe attack Of tom
%silitis. The last time she came to my
office for a check-up after her illness,
she said several times, Doctor, I don't
know how a sore throat could make
anybody so sick.
Of course, Miss enn had more than
a sore throat. The sore throat was only
the beginning Of her illness. When she
first noticed that her throat hurt she
paid little attention to it, thinking she
might only be catching a cold. Her
mother advised her to gargle with a
solution she happened to have on hand
which Miss Penn did. then went 10
the movies.
That night she woke up with a fe
yer and aching pains in her back and
legs. Her throat hurt worse and she
had difficulty in swallowing. The fe-
yer was followed by chills, then she
became hot again. One moment she was
hot, the next shaking with chills.
The following morning she stayed
inbed, though she felt fairly comfort
able except for the soreness in her
throat. By afternoon, however, the
chills and fever had returned and her
mother sent for me-.
| found Miss PENIS tonsils badly in
fected. In fact, she had an acute case
OF tonsilitis. Before the end Of the day
it was necessary to give her one Of the
sulfa drugs TO combat the infection.
Within "a hours the fever was under
control and she was out Of immediate
danger. 1t was necessary for her to
stay in bed several days, however, I'M
til her body was completely free of
the poison from the diseased %tonsils.
So sick she had been that she needed a
great deal Of rest to rebuild her good
health.
Tonsilitis is due to an infection Of
the tonsils. 1t causes the throat to be-
come very sore and is usually accom-
panied by chills, high fever, aches and
pains. The severity Of the attack often
depends upon the general physical con
dition of the individual. A person whs
is run down loses his resistance to the
invading organisms which infect the
tonsils and he may become very i'll.
Without proper care during an at
tack Of tonsilitis, the patient may suf-
fer serious consequences. There is the
danger that pneumonia may develop
and there is danger that kidney trou-
/ bic may result.
1t might seem that a quick cure for
tonsilitis would be TO remove the d.
seased tonsils. But this would be dan
gerous. The tonsils should never be
removed during an attack. The oper-
alton might cause the infection 10
spread to other parts Of the body.
1t is often advisable to remove the
tonsils after the attack and after the
patient has regained his Strength. The
advice of the doctor should be fol.
lowed as to whether such an opera.
ton is necessary. One attack Of ton.
%silities may be followed by another.
While rest and frequent gargling
with warm water and plain salt water
may relieve a sore throat, a doctor
should be consulted if the tonsi1s be.
come swollen or show other signs Of
disease.

DISCREDITS

Miss Della Williams. 28l3 Franklin
Street, says she was on her way to
the store Saturday night when a nan
walked up behind and encircled her
with his arms and said where do you
think you are goinr?" She said he
tried to force her into the vacant lot
where the old Long School used TO
be, threatening to beat her head off
if she screamed. She reasoned it was
lust as well to scream; then the man
began to beat Ter. Her screams. she
said, attracted pa7eers hv Tho the man
began to tell "it's alright, she's my
wife,. More people gathered and the
man fed up an alley. Other incidents
Of this sort have been reported. Pro-
tective and other organizations, instru-
mental in protesting the persecution Of
the innocent, can do equal good by
insisting upon the prosecution Of
the Fiendish; as they are a discredit
and a burden upon any community Of
decent and law abiding citizens.

FEAR IND HATE

Psychologists agree that prejudice
is 100 percent learned. No one inner
its prejudices. Children hear their
parents and older associates talk about
minority groups, religion, ETC., and
thereby from preiudiced ideas about
them. Tolerant attitudes can be form
ed as easily as p~rejudices, but there
is little teaching Of tolerance and much
inculcation of prejudice. Hence, most
people grow up with all sorts Of fears
and dislikes of various groups. Every
one has a natural desire TO feel sup
erior. Those who can satisfy this de-
sire by being better than average
have little need TO fall back upon the
mistaken belief that their group is su-
perior to others.
Prejudice limits and distorts an in
dividual's point Of view, closes the
mind to facts, makes unbiased judge
ment impossible. Some people become
possessed by their prejudices. They
think. Thy can only fear and

liberty in the city of Key West,

vate clubs without invitation

sentful and cause trouble. This
practice must be stopped.
SO. The Elks Club, at 313 Du-
val street, and the Cuban Club,
at 1108 Duval street, Key West,
Florida, are private clubs. Naval
personnel are hereby directed to
stay away from these clubs un-
less they are members or are au-
thorized guests.

be published to all
hands at quarters"
Commander Van Ohlen added

guests to the club. Naval per-
sonnet are requested to act ac-
cordingly."
The Elks Club and Cuban Club
today that the Naval

pointed out that the Navy has no
of placing either the |
