Funnies, Problems of Conduct

annexed by this newspaper last
week on a trial basis. Present
indications are that the first
thr^e will be retained and the
last given up ? unless there
should come real and unmistak
able evidence that a large body
of our subscribers find the ar
ticles by Dr. Brady interesting
and worth while. If you want
Dr. Brady, then, after March 1,
you had better let us hear from

* Wilful Men?
If, after Chairman Page's let
ter, the members of the Cam
den Highway Commission un
dertake to block any road in
Camden simply because they
can not get the road by the par
ticular route that appears desir
able to them, then they, in the
words of Woodrow Wilson on
one occasion, "will live to repent
it" ? unless they die mighty
early.
To fight for the route that
seemed best to them was a mat
ter altogether within their
right while the question of route
was open, but to fight for a lo
cation after the State Highway
Commission has definitely and
finally decided against them is
like butting one's head against
* stone wall; while to defeat
any road simply because they
can not get their particular
route for it is nothing other
than a case of cutting off one's
nose to spite his face.
If opponents of the Belcross
route persist in their fight for
another route to the point
where they delay construction
for another year, "if not indefi
nitely, how shall they escape the
designation of a set of wilful
men who put the matter of car
rying their own point above
that of the real interests of the
people whom they represent and
are supposed to serve?

Kumhleg and Growls
Health hath its symptoms too.
Take a quick run up two flights
of household size stairs and focus
your attention on your heart action
and you'll find the hyart going
thump, thump as though bumping
the ribs hard, for a little while, if
you are sound aud well.
Jifrup suddenly out of bed in the
morning and notice that you get just
a wee bit dizzy, ff you are a healthy
customer.
In a gloomy, introspective moment
search your field of vii^on carefully
and you'll find divers and Bundry
spots before the eyes, if there isx
nothing ailing you.
I am confident*, in fact I could get
up a symtom blank, after the fash
ion of the mall order quack which
would work havoc among well folk
who might get hold of it. "Have
you spots before the eyes?
Do you feel dizzy at times?
Does your food disagree?" Oh, sure,
everybody's food disagrees more or
lesB when he gets thinking about it
seriously.
Take the rumblings and grumbl
ings that harass some of us from
within. These gurgling noises are
produced by the peristaltic or wave
movements of the intestine acting
upon the fluids and gases which are
normally present. They're present
all the time, hearly, and the nolnes
are nearly always audible with the]
stethoscope. They don't mean any
thing. So we doctors call the noises
borborygmi. When a meal has been
taken after a brief period of fasting,
the passage of the fluids and gases
of the residue of that meal through
the valve from the small into the
large Intestine may be heard about
six hours later, if the Individual is
a healthy specimen.
As a rule these borborygmi are
no more audible or noticeable to the
individual himself or another than
are the spots before our eyes no
ticeable. unless we form the habit of
giving them attention.
Sometimes the borborygmi become
obtrusive when a person Is beginning
to get very hungry. The obvious
remedy in such a rase would be a
snack between meals, when it is a
long, time between meals and tjie
weight Is not already excessive. Tlils
snsck should be something which re
quires -hewing, not a gulp of fluid
or candy. I'd suggest some peanuts,
an orange or an apple.
In some instances annoying bor
borygmi prove to be due to the hab
it of air swallowing, a habit uncon
sciously indulged In by persons fond
of having "nervous spells." I say
persons fond of having 'spells ? that
isn't sarcastic, but psychologic. Ner
vous spells are a kind of funk hole
to hide in until the thing you wish
to evade or escape Is out of your
way.
An old favorite theoretical ex
planation for these rumblings from
within, especially when the noises
are associated with flatulence (pres
ence of an excessive amount of gas
In the Intestine) , Is fermentation. Of
course only carbohydrates ferment,
and so a great many people attempt
to remedy such a condition, be It ac
tual or Just surmised to flt a remedy
which happens aloof, by (mlachlev
ous "dieting" to the extent 'of re
stricting or avoiding certain articles
which they conceive to be "starchy."
This takes us back to the nineteenth
century era of dietetics when diet
ing consisted mainly of funny lists
of items in two columns ? "may eat"
and "may not eat." Here the game
is called on account of approaching
darkness. We'll finish it some day I
soon.
QUESTIONS AND A NSW KHS j
We're All Hrowns.
I am here attending school. My
home and birthplace are in Haiti
and I call myself a negro. I am not
quite so black as the ace of spades,
but I am as nearly black as any ne
gro 1 have met. Here folks call me
"colored." I think that comes near
er the truth. Having studied anat
omy and histology I happen to know
that there is no such thing as a black
man, that the negro skin is in all
respects the same as the skin of a
Caucasian, Asiatic or Malay, except

T am in the habit of eating laun
dry starch. Is this harmful, and if
so. what is it liable to cause? (M.
