Sociologists who are absorbed in shaping the country's social forces have accorded special attention to a statement of Dr. O. E. Baker, Federal population expert, that "The future generations of this country will probably be descendants of the people on our farms today, particularly our poorer farms and about two-thirds of them will be descendants of the Southern farmers including the hillbillies, tenant farmers and others who make up the chief population of that area now."

Barton-- APATIENT consulted his physician about a sore throat. The physician informed him that it was his tonsils that were likely causing the symptoms. The patient smiled and stated that if it were his tonsils he mugt have grown another pair as- he had had his tonsils removed when he was 10 years old. The physician made no reply but he knew that the tonsils had not been* completely removed at that age or they would not have returned.. When tonsils are removed at an earlier age than six years, our throat specialists tell us that they may sometimes return. There are many patients with arthritis who haVe their teeth carefully examined by X-ray; and other methods who never think of their tonsils being * the cause because they had their tonsils removed in childhood. They admit that they have remnants of tonsils, or tags, still present in the throat, dnd also that they sometimes have a sore throat but there is such a small piece or pieces of the tonsils left that they could not possibly cause the arthritis or rheumatism. In speaking of these "secondary" tonsils or tonsil stumps, Dr. Paul H. Browning, New York, in Medical Clinics of North America, states that they are one of the most vicious types of all infected tonsils in producing inflammation in joints and muscles at distant parts of the body. Infection Often Hidden. The great amount of scar tisstle which resulted from the healing of the partly completed operation for removal, seals or covers the surface of the piece of tonsil left in, and underneath this scar there may be much infection. Because this stub or tag of tonsil is not a deep or dark red in color, as with the usual infected tonsil, it is not suspected of having this infection beneath it and so it continues to pour infection into the blood and arthritis or heart disease may follow. The thought then in searching for the cause of arthritis is' that not only the cases of inflamed tonsils with frequent sore throats should be investigated but these "second growth" tonsils and tags should be investigated also. Insidious Nature y- Of Modern Ills _ "The average person Ik hot particularly interested in the fact that cancer may kill him, nor is he seriously concerned with his death. The average person does not think about his health, but he does think about the impression he will make, his social standing, his capabilities, his ability to beat a neighbor at a game, his chances of promotion and his appearance. And there are very few men and women, whatever they say, who, in their hearts would not like to meet their social circle with a greater confidence, their occupation with more proficiency, their embarrassments with calmer self-assurance, their domestic life with more complacent certainty and the world in general with the additional cheerfulness and vigor which renders life a vivid actuality rather than a passage or existence." I am quoting Dr. T. Winga Todd, Cleveland,- in Clinical Medicine and Surgery, because, in the above simple manner, he points out the difference between a life that is a passage or an'existence and a life that is a vivid actuality. There is certainly a great difference between simply being free of disease and enjoying buoyant health. Disease Has Changed. ; The trouble with the average person and his physician is that neither of them is interested in the other unless some real disease is present. Yet, as Dr. Todd points out, disease today has changed. "It no longer slays ruthlessly in epidemics, but insidiously (secretly) cripples hearts, hardens arteries, ruins teeth, warps and stunts development, shatters nerves and produces morbid moods and manners which destroy or cripple confidence and efficiency." Tiredness, fear and despondency are the symptoms of the early stages of disability. The thought then for the physician is not to spend all his time and energy on those who are already diseased in mind and body (worthy as this may be), but to look more fully or completely into the case of the average person who is restless, discontented and impatient. The thought for the average person is that life is more than existence and that it may be a physical reason (defects) that is causing the tiredness, restlessness, worry and discontent that a physician or dent tist could locate and remove.

Modern films are fast, so exposures need not (be long. With a good bright fire, try two to five seconds at f.6.3, or ten to thirty seconds With a box camera. To show added detail in an outdoor night scene, use a flash bulb. It's easy. Have the camera on a firm support, shutter on "time," lens set at f.ll. Open the shutter, flash the bulb, close the shutter--that's all there is to it. Flash bulbs can be used in a "synchronizer" that fires the bulb and trips the camera shutter at the same time--or they can be used in inexpensive holders that resemble a pocket flashlight. Campfire effects can be obtained with flash bulbs, without a campfire. Set up the camera for a snapshot of your group, and flash the bulb from the ground, below or slightly = 'behind the camera. The low angle of lighting produces t&e campfire effect. Amateur flood bulbs can be used on an extension cord in the s&me way. Take the camera along on your next evening picnic or other outing.
