“PLEURISY” Here is a disease of the winter months, Pleurisy, usually, resulting from exposure to violent cold. It should not be mistaken for pneu monia, so, you better have the doc tor and be sure you are right. Pleurisy announces itself by PAIN. Not necessarily much fever, unless it begins with a pronounced chill. Remember,—pleurisy is out side of the lung; pneumonia in side. The pleura is a tough, smooth membrane that lines the chest wald—and also covers the body of the lung. If the membrane is nor mal, it will glide over its neigh boring surfaces without sensation; inflamed, it at once becomes very painful. A cough, if any, is excru ciating—it hurts to take a full breath—hurts at the point inflam ed. If the spot remains sore long enogh, adhesions may form, which starts a very chronic condition, hard to cure. I have many times taken out from three to twelve pints of drop sical fluid from an old case of neg lected pleurisy—“pleurisy with effusion.” It should never be per mitted to get that far. Your duty when attacked is, to go to bed, or, at least stay in the house where the air is dry and warm. Get up a sweat as quickly as possible. See that the bowel is “open.” Get the blood to the sur face and keep it there—it is pos sible only in warm atmosphere. Pneumonia may be mistaken for pleurisy—a dangerous mistake. See your doctor, and take no chances. Simple pleurisy is not dangerous if promptly attended to; pneumonia may be deadly if neglected. The real name of pleurisy is “pleuritis.” But I am inclined to use plain, understandable language for my readers. I hope this short sketch concerning a common complaint, may do good somewhere. MRS.

YOUR ELECTRIC BILL IS FOR LIGHTING j^p ELECTRIC SERVANTS __ __——mM—BBBBHi BUT IT ALSO COVERS THE COST OF MANY HELPFUL ELECTRICAL SERVANTS SOME PEOPLE CON SIDER THEIR ELECTRIC SERVICE BILL AS JUST A LIGHT BILL Ip Y0U could itemize your electric bill, in terms of services received, you would see that lighting is really only a small part. _ Many people have become so accustomed to all the other electric services that they sometimes forget how many times a day Electricity really serves them. It makes the toast and coffee. It sweeps the floors. It provides constant refrigeration. It cooks the meals. It heats the water. It washes the clothes. Then irons them. It helps provide radio entertainment. It brings you com fort and convenience. It even winds the clock! Almost all of the services Electricity performs in the home costs only a penny or two. ©ften it costs less. In fact, if you paid for Electricity as you use it, you could let your pennies pay your Electric Service bill. No other service, comfort, or convenience costs so little. Yes, Electricity IS cheap!
