About Your Health j
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW j .
By John Joseph Gaines.. M. D. , :
HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES j ,
Beyond the question of a doubt, j '
there are many old-fashioned methods j
of dealing with acute diseases that*,
should be perpetuated. Water ap-f }
plied externally will reduce fever
temporarily, and wiU contribute much <
to the patient's comfort. if applied! .
with judgment. it should be ap-1
plied warm?sponging?unless the j
physician is present and orders otherwise;
it \> free from dep-essing
effect, which cannot always be said
of drugs that reduce fever.
Mustard pasters should be kept in
ythe home, or at least the material for
making them. By irritating the skin,
we mav partially employ a congested
or inflemed part beneath, thus relieving
pain. The surface should lit
vigorously reddened to secure the {
best results. The "fly-blister." once j
ix family measure, should he dismissed j
as a household resource: it might do:
exceeding harm.
Castor oil is almost too well known ! y
to mention?a very valuable agent, J ^
and should ho k??m. in i
may say here that I have found it an j *
excellent application to the skin in ir- j c.
ritations that, do not heal easily. It j
has cured cases for me?one a badly f
fissured lip wherein the patient and d
his physician suspected cancer; the ! a
doctor had applied caustics to kill the i *
thing. thus keeping1 up the "anger' i f
in it; a week's constant application of
pure castor oil cured it! j c
Turpentine in these days of kidney v
disorder should never be applied or ^
given internally without the phy- \
sician's advice. 5 once saw a fata! f
ending in a Blight's disease case 20 v
hours after taking a dose of turperi- j d
tine on sugar "to stimulate the kio i;
? neys." Turpentine is a valuable %
household remedy but is dangerous if : (
used igndrantly.
Crime Survey Findings P
The results of the Missouri crime ! K
e
survey are summarized succinctly in
trie Kansas City Star. They are im- n
. " ,. *. . . . a
!>uriciitL m reve;umg not only local
conditibris but conditions which exist
pretty generally throughout the coup u
try. Here are the findings:
t'hanoo of est aping conviction:
For murder or imVrislaiighter?i ,l
12 to I. '
K.<r robbery?28 to 1- j,
For burglary?50 to 1. 0
Why? y
The coroner is not required to be a ?l
physician or i<: qualify as competent. h
The police department under state !i
rule is a political football. It. is un- ^
dermahried, and many members artaged
or inexperienced.
The county sheriffs force is inade^
quale. Ir cannot arrest outside the
county. State police are iieees^iry !
to cope with the motor age criminal, j *c
The prosecutor may dismiss charges i
without explanation. He should bo j
under jurisdiction of the attorneypencral.
A loose bail bond system permits
almost anything.
Presumption of innocence of de- S
fondant. even though convicted and j in
on appeal, is a hindrance. There is j
no presumption in civil cases. I
The criminal code i> obsolete, j ei
copied after an old English code that ' ?
was revised years ago. i m
Extra jury challenges to defense !
give an advantage. They should he j
divided equally with the prosecution j
A stricter jury exemption is heeded. S
A mush-Mouthed,-weak-kneed pub- !
lie aids the criminal through reluct- j
ance for jury service; changing of
testimony, and failure to stick With
the prosecution through delays:
The "expert testimony" provision
, by alienists, physicians and others is
*v , abused. There can be no comment i
when a defendant does not take the !
* stand. Comment should be allowed. !
A year for appeal upon circuit
court conviction is unnecessary.
A shoddy parole system and hous
ilig of young prisoners with old
criminals increases crime.?Dearborn
-Independent.
Questions Arise
Out in the ocean, there is a reef !
of rocks called the "Sow and Pigs/' j
and their existence gives rise to numerous
queries: Do the pigs feed
in the trough of the sea? Are not
the waters thereabouts subject to
cho?that is, pork chop?sens? Ar**
not vessels stranded there more apt to
"hog?" Do the pigs' feet get pickled
being so long in the brine? And is
not the wind in the region always
sow-sow east or sow-sow west?
In Our Household?Flapper (from
upstairs) : Is the water warm yet?"
J Shiek Brother, (downstairs)?"It
1st ought to be?it's been running for
half an hour."
