\y Arthur Brisbane "GOING TO GET DRUNK." $10,000,000,000 CONCERN. RAW WHEAT FOR VITAMIN B. ANDY WAS WRONG. _ ? This nation is drifting toward a costly, hate-breeding coal strike, set ior April in the central coal it&ds. The Yankee farmer "going to town to get drunk, and Lord how I dread it'" was no more foclish than a eountry that foresees indus trial civil war. surely coming, and aoea nothing to prevent it vt S . The people own the coal fields? tod everything else in the nation? wider the right of eminent domain, fcnev can do as they choosc. They suffer the loss and incon venience of all strikes, pay the bills in the end, and still they "go 'to town to get drunk." The United States Post Office definitely forbids s sending ^ the ^Decameron," by Boccaccio, through the mails. That is another wise decision which should not have been postponed so long. Mailing or selling that book should carry with it a sentence to prison. ? ^ Standard Oil in the last three months has paid dividends of more than $55,000,000. That's at the rate of more than five per cent on x four billion dollars; so there is; a four billion dollar concern right there. If you wait a few years it will be a ten billion dollar concern. But, as you know, Mr. Rockefeller doesn't own all of it, or even half of It I A great deal of Standard Oil prosperity, by the way, has been achieved in a market of hard com petition by intelligent newspaper ?lvfcretislng. It is to be hoped the able managers know that, and realise that it pays to talk directly to the people through newspaper advertising.

INTRAVENOUS MEDICINE Two people are concerned here: the physician and the patient. Our' folks are becoming educated?and Very properly?in many of the up to-date methods in treating dis ease. Injecting potent medication directly into the veins of the patient is a distinct advance in method, and it has been practiced all over ' the land, in some eases with al most miraculous results, and in many with disaster following. ?. I have never given an intraven- ) ous injection that my heart didn't ' come up in my throat a bit?with out that apprehension that will creep over the mentality of the . careful doctor; then when one of my most esteemed specialist - friends told me a short time ago, that all intravenous injections were danger ous, and that he had practically ceased to give them, my apprehen sion grew; we can inject medicines into the muscles, and beneath the - skin with much less concern as to" ; safety. * I shall never permit an intraven ous injection for any patient with chronic valvular disease of the heart. A few autopsies have con verted me in this particular. Coun try physicians have not all the fa cilities for testing the coagulability of the blood, hence they are com pelled to rely upon the statement of the manufacturer that the big ampule is incapable of doing harm. If thepatient has a good heart, the intravenous "shot" is a life saver iri some forms of pneumonia. In arthritis, especially in the chonic forms, the chances are at least fifty-fifty that no good, and possible harm may result. We have little to our credit, if we sum up results carefully, in the treatment of chronic venereal diseases by this method, no matter what the agent used. In short, to rush into a measure like that, without due de liberation, is to put the spectacular ahead of good judgment. Next Week: Hardened Arteries vQ state prizes, with Pennsylvania next in line with twenty-five.

Likewise a pupil in each state will receive as second stato prize a silver medal and ten dollars. The third prizes, which are bronze medals and five dollars, vary in proportion to the enrollment. In addtiion to these aWards, three valuable national prizes are offered pupils whose essays finally win out1 in the eliminaton iprocess that is j used to select the national winners.! The pupil whose essay is considered | the best in the nation, will earn, in addition to the first state prize, a trip to Washington, with all expenses paid, where Board officials in the past have taken the greatest pains to see that their young charges see everything pf interest in the historic j Capital of the nation. Second and. third national winners receive hand-' some gold watches, as does the first national winner, the timepiece being presented at exerciscs at Washington when the trip is made. j Dorothy" Jean Utlcy, Bemidji, I Minnesota, school girl, was the last winner to visit Washington, being accompanied by her mother as chap erone, whose expenses were also paid. Another winner, chosen from the 1925-26 contest, will be annouu ccdl in the near future. One thousand dollars of the prize money is set aside for teachers who write -the best safety lessons while their young charges arc preparing the mor. simple masterpieces in essay form. The teacher winning first nat ional honors will receive a check for Five Hundred Dolllars, and also will make a trip to Washington, with ail expenses paid, whether she comes iVom California or Maine, or points between. The teachers winning second and third national awards will be the recipients of $300 and $200 respect ively, but they will not be invited to Washington as the Board's guests.
