Devoting her life to alleviating conditions in prisons, asylums and almshouses, more than 30 institutions for the ingnn* or destitute were established through her influence.

Food Plants Not Common Before 1492, neither a single food 4plant nor a domesticated food animal was common to both the Eastam and Western hemispheres, despite the fact that mail' had inhabitant both sides of the earth for thousands of years, observes a writer in Collier's Weekly. Seeds Seat by Air The milkweed, like the thistle and some of Nature's other adventurers, sends its seed tufts out on aerial voyages of discovery. Slung beneath each downy tuft, like .a balloonist's basket, is a brown seed. When the pod frees the tuffe, the first vagrant puff of wind carries these tiny balloons with their colonizing seeds high and far. Later they drop to earth to found a new colony, or, if the winds will, they even may float into a window, high above the earth, their logical destiny unfulfilled. •> Feat SaOs Enriched , Addition of small quantities of copper and manganese to some at the peat soils of the Florida Everglades causes bountiful crops to grow on hitherto unproductive land. - Eyes . ; Esauained Dr. Paul A.

Freund Tire and Tube Vulcanizing, Battery Charging, Oils Phone 294 West McHenry HEALTH • Rheumatism and arthritis often traced to infected teeth. Proper care important. --By Dr. Jamas W. Barton- THE evidence that infected teeth or tonsils cause some cases of rheumatism or arthri-. tis is not now disputed because nearly every family, in their own home or in the homes of relatives, has observed one or more of such cases. Pyorrhea--infected gums--is also known to be a-cause of arthritis. For some time research workers have suspected the sinuses as also being a cause of arthritis. These little caverns or cavities are situated in the bones about the nose and form the sounding box for the voice. We are all familiar with the flat or nasal tone of the voice when these caverns are filled with mucous or pus. However, unless the patient had an active inflammation of a sinus-- sinusitis -- the Dr. Barton tact that a sinus /without active inflammation could Cause arthritis was not suspected. Dr. Lee M. Hurd, New York Polyclinic Hospital and Medical school, in Medical Clinics of North America, says that hesbelieves that acute or chronic sinua infection aggravates or is the cause of many cases of chronic arthritis because he has observed many cases of arthritis in his own practice that were benefited by the removal of sinus infection. . Sinus Treatment Successful. Thus in a group of 400 consecutive cases of arthritis seen in office practice, there was some X-ray evidence of sinus infection in 68 per cent, the majority of which gave no history of symptoms of sinus trouble at the time of examination. Of those who were then given sinus treatment--medical or surgical--80 per cent showed various degrees of improvement in their arthritic symptoms, which seems to prove that sinus infection is a definite cause of arthritis. Dr. Hurd personally observed and treated tlje majority of these cases and can substantiate the statement that when the sinus infection was relieved either by medicine or surgery the patient was greatly benefited, some becoming erftirely free of arthritic symptoms. The point then is that in searching for the cause of rheumatism or arthritis more than the mouth-- teeth, tonsils, and gums--should be examined. "The majority of these patients had no symptoms of sinus disease and were not aware that they had it. About one-third had a discharge or pus-like dropping from nose and back of throat. Sinus headaches were rare." • • • Low Back Pain • > Treatment Explained In cases of low back pain due to injury--swinging at a golf, tennis, or baseball and missing it, lifting a weight, stepping downward when the ground was thought to be level, applying the foot brake to a motor car, or other conditions--it has been found that the joint between the last spine bone or sacrum and the hip bone or ilium has been pulled slightly apart. This is called sacroiliac sprain. The usual treatment by orthopedic and osteopathic physicians is to bend knee into abdomen, then-have the patient (assisted by the physician) straighten his leg out forcibly. A method that may prove of great help to these sufferers with sacroiliac sprain is described by Dr. A. H. Warner, Woodside, Long Island, N. Y., in Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Boston. Instructions Given. "The inner tube of a tire is placed around the footboard of the bedstead at the level of the upper surface of the mattress. Two loops, about eight inches in diameter and made of canvas tape or a trouser belt, encircle the inner tube perpendicular to its length (at right angles). The feet of the patient are placed in the loops, so that the tape hooks above the ankles and across the upper part of the toes. The two loops are about 18 inches apart. The foot of the bed is raised and the patient pulls himself toward the head of the bed (now lower than the foot) sufficiently to apply tension on the rubber inner tube. In this way the patient's body weight opposes the pull of the inner tube. This position can be maintained for hours at a time without discomfort to the patient. It will usually be found necessary for the patient to pull himself 'down' to the head of the bed every once in a while, as the inner tube pulls him up the other way." For one who has found it impossible to stand on his feet or walk without severe low back and sciatic pain, this home method of getting the surfaces of these two bones back into their right positions should be tried.
