(l nited Slates Senator and former Health Commissioner of New York) 'Inquiries may hr addresed to Dr. Copeland, eare The Star, Shelby, N. « . If you desire a personal reply, enclose a stamped envolepo.e ad dressed bark to you.) Deafness i." a miserable trouble. It Is a constant annoyance. It Inter feres v ,tli tlie happiness and usefulness of the victim. It is said that total deafness Is worse than total blindness Perhaps the blind man would dispute this, but there can be no doubt that any BU. CU tAANU, degree of deafness Is disagreeable, to say the least. There are several causes for deafness. Pro ceeding from the outside, the first cause is an ob struction in the external canal of the ear. This is .cry Jikely to be aji accumulation of wax. The canal is not a straight tube ct uniform diameter. It lias a shape like an hour glass. Thai is, u is narrower in the middle than at each end In the middle it is quite restricted. At the inside end, at the bottom of the canal, is the drum membrane. This is stretched across the canal and guards the middle ear from the entrance of iiisecets. dirt, wax or other foreign matter. The external canal is lined with .'kin. This possesses sweat glands and oil glands, just as the skin does everywhere else. In addition, it has some. large and active glands, railed sebaceous glands. They supply the wax, which in some persons is too freely manufactured. The wax has an Important function to perform. It is a sticky "smelly” material, Intended to be offensive, as It is to most insects, or to catch thetr feet. ns sticky fly paper docs, if they venture too far into the car canal The wax serves, too, to catch and hold the dust. which otherwise might get. down against the drum So. you see, the wav serves a useful purpose, unless it gathers too freely, or is pushed down the canal. Nature has arranged splendidly to keep the wax from collecting in the oar. The large wax glands, of which I spoke, are situated outside the narrow part of the canal Then, nature has provided for a renewal of the skin cells from with in outward As the new cells arc formed, they push old ones out-1 ward. That movement, will carry the wax along, too. If a . alone j there will be no dropping of this substance Into the deep part of the j canal, beyond the constriction But It seems natural to poke at the cars. Folks use toothpicks, pen cils and all sorts of things to "clean out" the ears. Instead of removing the wax, they push it beyond the narrow part of the canal. In time, a plug of wax is produced ana deaf ness results because the canal is stoppered There is an old saying that • noth ing should be put in the ear except the point of the elbow!" Of course you couldn't get your elbow there and nothing else should be attempt ed. The simple form of deafness caus ed by wax is quickly relifved But my advice is to have ynir doctor take it, oui.

Some Recent Views Medical Education Suggestions For Shortening Period Of Preparation For Study Of Medicine. Commenting on the third report of the commission on medical edu cation composed of distinguished educators in many fields and of many leading medical men. The Journal of the American Medical association says: "The report is devoted primarily lo considerations of all the aspects of modern medical education. The commission feels that the trend of medical education has been to pro long greatly the period of prepara tion for the study of medicine, and that time can probably be saved by the reorganization and shortening of existing courses, bv the reduction of time devoted to vacations and by more differentiation among stud ents Broader latitude is urged for re quirements for entrance to medical schools; indeed, it is stated defi nitely that the specific medical school requirements should be con fined to tlie fundamentals of biol ogy. physics and chemistry. The specific suggestion is inade that the various organizations interested in medical education permit certain colleges interested in premedical education to experiment with it without penalty to their students, in the hope of contributing to greater flexibility and variety in this phase of medical study. "So far as teaching the basic medical science may he concerned, the most common criticisms have to do with the overcrowding of the curriculum, (oo much detail. too much emphasis on laboratory mani pulation and technique and a fail ure to correlate properly the work of various departments with clinical practice. These defects are to be corrected by emphasizing man as a living whole rather than as a group of separate organs and systems. More time must be provided for reading and thinking Correlation of the fundamental sciences with clin ical medicine may be brought about through effort by teachers of both divisions. In the teaching of clinical medicine, more emphasis is needed on preventive medicine. The unit of medical practice must be the pa tient not the disease "The committee felt that state medical boards and other agencies concerned with licensure could help materially to correct present de fects in medical training if they would confine their functions to the approval of medical schools and the general features of medical training and interneship and leave; the details of the curriculum and clinical training to the medical school authorities "The chief general considerations in medical education seem to be the j necessity for more eleethes in the' curriculum special emphasis on the j technique of using current and re ference literature and the choice of i actual clinicians for clinical teach ing It Is urged that teachers of clinical medicine should not be sub ject to any restrictions and regula tions beyond those imposed on teachers in academic work so far as ♦heir university relationships are concerned. "These are merely the high points of the report of the commission It has given careful consideration to i he problems in its field.

Oh, These Rabid Editors In State Rocky Ml. Telegram. 'Governoi Gardner Faces Jeers of Slates Radical Editors with the Calmness of Assurance,” screams a bold three column, front-page head in the Gastonia Gazette which has consistently defended its home city and local authorities from outside editorial thrusts of none loo tame a na ture The articles boldly headlined to the world, prepared by the Gazettes Raleigh bureau—and for ■hat matter the Telegrams too— deals with the caustic criticism of strike renditions and collapse of the law by editorials appea-ing in the Greensboro Daily News and the Ra leigh News and Observer and lauds the fortitude and patience exhibited bv Governor Gardner in the face of these denunciatory darts. ■ Jeers of Radical Editors." Omi gosh, we had no idea it had be come so bad. So Josephus Daniels, former sec retary of the navy in Wilson's cab inet, and the sedate Col Earle God bey. and the fair Nell Battle Lewis are jeering good Governor O. Max Gardner. "Radical Editors." O tetnpus! O mores! O in Mournful Numbers. It cannot be that the News and the News and Observer are con trolled by disciples of Moscow. Alack, alas, even our capital city and the fair metropolis of Guil ford, our own Gate City, are hon ey combed with communism. Rad icals at the helm Cail out the guard. Summons General Bowley with all possible haste. Woodman spare my daughter. Something must, be done and that quickly to save the common wealth and the Fourth estate. What can we do? Woe is us. Our hands are worn with wringing and our teeth grown dull with gnashing. Injunctions against these jeers of radical editors? Special deputies to crack 'em over the heads as they start to their typewriters? Troops to guard the Daily News and News and Observer buildings? A masked band to hack up their newsprint or pour out their supply of ink? Oh, oh. oh. And may be Col. Earle and Hon. Josephus will want to stage a parade. Or they might desire to open relief head quarters if it can be proved that they are identified with the outlaw labor organization. But North Carolina will find a way to overcome their spoutings, thanks to the unflinching example of fortitude, patience and assur ance by the chief executive who through it all maintains * calm serenity like unto that of the mighty lulls from, whence he comes. Out. out damn spot. These rad icals who pound typewriters in Ra leigh and Greensboro, they shall not pass. Yoohoo. my bully boys, curfew shall not ring tonight Catches Barn Owl In A Steel Trap Lincoln Co. News. Mr. Blanton of North Brook brought an owl to our office Tues day. the species of which is rarely seen in North Carolina. Mr. Blan ton caught it in a steel trap set on a pole for hawks, one night about two weeks ago. The trap caught the bird by only one of its toes or claws. Mr. Blanton had not found any name for the owl and Mr. T. C Abernethy looked tip the species in a dictionary which he had and found it to be a species of Barn Owl with plumage mottled with buff brown with gray above and chiefly white below which frequents barns and other buildings. Its head and face looks like that of a mon key. Mr. Blanton left the owl in the show window of The Eagle office lor inspection by any one who wants to look at it.

Two minutes at home night and morning with the tooth brush may save a person dollars and hours in the dental office. Dental health depends largely on habit. Good habits or bad habits— these are largely what make for the ultimate differences in dental health. The ideal place to begin good ha bits is in the home Children should early be made acquainted with them. As soon as the first teeth are all erupted, a game can be made of keeping them clean. A small tooth brush used with a salt solution, and later, when the child is older, dry salt used on a wet brush will be found good for this purpose. If the child is taught to use a tooth brush night and morning at the time he washes his face and hands, a good habit will be started. When the teeth appear fo be stained, and ordinary brushing will not remove the discoloration. the child should be taken to the den tist. who knows how to remove it. Incidentally, this is a good time for the child to get acquainted with the dentist and his equipment, because he can do so without being hurt in the least. It is important that the child’s first impression of the den tal office should be a good one. One most important habit to form is that of frequent dental examina tion. Tfhis should begin with the small child in order that cavities in the first teeth may be discovered and filled—thus saving them until the permanent ones are ready to prick through the gums. Keeping the first teeth helps to keep the arches well shaped, and aids the di gestion of the child. The first per manent teeth to appear are the six year molars. These erupt easily dur ing the sixth year, but vary with different children. These teeth are very often neglected because they are thought by parents to be first or temporary teeth. In the case of adults I would suggest that the habit of brushing the teeth night and morning be formed. It is also a good habit to use a mouth wash frequently, es pecially after eating. There need be no excuse for not forming such a habit, for even though one does not happen tfl have a tooth paste handy <and there are many good ones on the market,) salt and water are cheap and have ex cellent cleansing and healing prop erties. If one happens to have to wear plates or some other removable den ture, these habits must not be for gotten; they must be practiced more than ever before, because dentures are food catchers^and must be kept clean. They should be cleaned after each meal. Here again, that- plenti ful combination, salt and water, can be used to advantage. It will keep the dentures and mouth clean and sweet.

NATURE HAS GONE LOCO ON TWO PRAIRIE FARMS Paris, 111.—A duck which startled all duckdom last year by building her nest more than twenty feet above the ground in the hollow of an old tree on a farm near here, is brooding her hatch in the same spot this year.
