ERWIN ••The Old Reliable” Since it is a necessity, most desirable, and will last a lifetime, —isn’t it thoughtless not to get it now instead of later ?

HEALTH IS WEALTH m * HEALTH-;HYGlEm b«llM STATE BOARD dp The Great Neighbor By JOSEPHUS DANIELS SeorttaiT of the Navy. The Red Cross recognizes neither party, nor race, nor creed. It is world-wide in scope and humane in purpose. It has no political nor economic ends to serve. It only asks where it can be helpful to men and women in distress—afflicted by 4isease, overtaken by some sudden disaster or caught in the ordeal of war. There it finds its place and opportunity. There it springs to serve man kind. The Red Cross is the Great Neighbor, it treats every man as a brother, and asks no return. If the world of toiling people is made a little more comfortable, a little happier, a little stronger for the struggle of life through its effort, the Red Cross is content. And while it is not affiliated exclusively wth any religious body, it is essentially a Lay Brotherhood and Sisterhood of all denominations, putting in practice the teachings of all religions,—unselfish service and good deeds. The works of mercy which it is banded together to accom plish are the result and evidence of its noble sincerity and inspiring faith. In the great emergency of the present war the Red Cross is doubly enlisted. In all it does to help us to win, it is help ing to save and maintain those ideals of faithfulness and honor, kindness and loyalty on which its own existence rests. And every man, woman and child who realizes this— realizes the peril we are in—and who can help the Great Cause in no other way, can at least support the generous efforts of the Red Cross. It is the best equipped agency in the world to bring succor in the day when only organized and well directed help can avail. That Widied Taste Parageusia—fts it ig popularly call* •d—is a bad taste in the mouth. It is generally attributed to some disturb- ance of the digestion, but in reality is as rarely due to digestive disturbance as “stomach trouble” is due to the “food disagreeing.” Doctors know that “stomach trouble,” nine timei out of ten, is due to some organic or functional condition not dependent up* on the diet; and that a bad tas^e in the mouth is a symptom of many con* ditions apart from dyspepsia. For instance. Dr. T. F. Reilly obserr> ed that many patients with higii blood pressure complained of a peculiar rnd persistent bad taste. It was about the only symptom complained of a: all is several cases. In the earlier stages of chronlj Bright's disease, which generally b»i- gins insidiously and is therefore ne> glected or misinterpreted by the pa* tient, the patient often notices a bad taste in the mouth upon rising in the morning, due, perhaps, to a compensa> tory effort to eliminate toxic material in the saliva. It is a familiar obser vation that headache in the back of the head or neck is felt early in the morning in certain cases of Bright’s disease, with or without the bad taste, and this, too, is probable toxic. Chronic trouble in the gall-sac (in flammation or gallstones) is not rarely the explanation of a bitter taste which annoys the patient. Sometime? this taste is compared with that of musty eggs. In several instances the pecu liar taste was noted by the patient week before the appearance of Jaun dice. Infection of one of the nasal accesi- sory sinuses, with releitno of matter and occasional drainage into nose and throat, sometimes causes an unpleas ant taste of which the patient is con’ scious, as well as an odor of whi?n may be only his friends are consciou.^. Decayed teeth are a frequent cause of bad taste. In pulmonary tubercurosis the pa tient often complains of a bad taste which is noticed from about noon on ward. A sour taste is present in acute “rheumatic fever”—Inflammatory rheu- ■Mtism. A bad taste in tba mouth often cedes by weeks the development of diabetes, cancer of stomach, severs anemia, or ulcer in the duodenum. The relief of parageusia is ther^ fore a matter of determining what !• wrong with the health. Chewing ehar^ coal lozenges may temporarily ore^ come an odor, and any cleanstais mouth wash, such as boric acid solu tion (a teaspoonful of the powder in • half pint of boiled water) may tempei^ arily diminish a foul taste, but th« symptom should be looked upon as ■ danger signal which warrants at least a thorough physical examination bjr • jfVOMo. C^lliTn CAD TASTES. Questions and Answers. **Medicated Cotton" Not Medicated. A. L. L.—What is the difference b# tween cotton batting and medicated cotton used by doctors and nurses? Answer: Cotton containa more or less oil. The absorbent cotton, popularly call ed "medicated cotton,” Is purified of <rfl. bleached, and sterilized by heat, but otk- erwise, it is cotton batting. Constipation. Mrs. W. W. B.—What is the best remedy for habitual constipation? Answer: Depends on the case of the bad habit. Letter of advice will be sent on receipt of stamped, addressed env%* lope. Human and Bovine Tuberculosis. A. B.—Will you kindly inform me whether there is any possibility of a human being’s acquiring tuberculosis by drinking milk from tuberculai cows? Answer: In childhood, at least that is a common code of infection, perhaps th« most frequent cause of tuberculoids, irlands in the neck or "scrofula,” ma It was formerly called, and consumptioi^ tuberculosis of the luoRs or tuberculoata of bone or other part is. of course, likely to develop in later years.
