SMITH WOULD
RESIGN JOB AS
COUNTY DOCTOR
Dr. W. Carleton Smith, county
physician, who Is being urged to
run for re-election In the lower
house of the legislature gave one
Indication that he will probably
become a candidate when he noti
fied County Judge Slegmund that
In event he becomes a candidate
and is elected he will resign as
county physician effective January
1 before the convening of the legis
lature. - -
While there Is some legal Ques
tion as to whether or not he would
be forced to resign under the con
stitutional provision that no mem
ber of the legislature may hold an
other lucrative office, he has de
cided to allow his resignation to
go In regardless In event of his
election. It Is stated it is very
doubtrui whether the Job of county
physician would be termed a "lu
crative office" as implied by the
constitution.
It is understood that Ivan O
Martin's name is being mentioned
as a possible candidate for the
lower house. He formerly served
in the house in the legislature
from this county.

PUREST FRENCH
OF ACADEMY YET
DENIED TALKIES
Paris (LP) Although the talkies
have Invaded almost every sanctu
ary from the Vatican to the naval
conference in London, they 6tlll
have to celebrate the day when
they crash the solemn portals of
the French Academy. The Forty
Immortals, which rarely reaches its
full roster because of the paradox
ical mortality among the supposed
ly immortal, usually number about
38 or 35, and recently one of the
largest assemblages of these princes
of thought that hss yet been re
corded in the institute, met and
talked of whom they would elect in
the plare of Clemenceau.
The Paris representatives of sev
eral film companies, and of two or
three talkie outfits, prayed, as we
ay In London, for permission to
film and record tnerr august utter
ances. The secretary of the Acad
emy almost capitulated before this
Hollywood logic But the staunch
thinkers eventually turned down
the chance to shine and not a crank
was turned.
Perhaps when the Academy meets
In full splendor in April to honor
the baby member. Marshal retain,
they will allow themselves to be
recorded. It is customary for the
incoming member to pedantically
eulogize the immortal whose place
he has filled, and these discourses,
printed fully in Le Temps and Le
Figaro, are considered models of
perfect French prse.
There can be no mistakes In the
chraseology. or the orthography, or
anythinj else in these speeches
The French language is constantly
being revie?ed, purified, rectified
and amplified, by this group of
Forty Immortals.
There i3 no state of consterna
tion and horror campareble to the
discovery of a spurious word, and
the cavants gather about, define,
deplore and decry, until the of-
" fending word is purged out, or re
written and chastized for having
got corrupted.

GOBGAS MEMORIAL INSTHUTE
PHVSIC OR SUBGEON?
By George David Stewart, M. D. '
New York, New York
When you have a pain in your
tum-tum don't take a cathartic.
There la perhaps no more certain
way of making urgent, perhaps even
bringing to operation, an attack of
appendicitis that might otherwise
have remained mild. There Is widely
spread among the laity a tendency
to diagnose all abdominal pain as
due to a stomach "upset," with very
vague conceptions as to what this
means. There Is also a strong incli
nation to rush for a cathartic.
Appendicitis is a common surgical
disease in America: people have
heard much about it; It is a cus
tomary topic of conversation at so
cial functions, dances, dinners and
organ recitals. Many know that the
appendix la located in the rower
right hand comer of the abdomen.
If th pain always began In this cor
ner, a fair proportion of the popula
tion would suspect appendicitis. Un
fortunately, In many cases. In the
early hours of an attack the pain is
general or perhaps most Intense
about the center of the abdomen;
only later does it locate in the right
side, declaring itself as a case of ap
pendicitis. But by that time the ca
thartic has been taken; the damage
has been done.
When once lniiamatton has oc
curred in the appendix the thing to
do is to keep the intestine, that
writhing, twisting basket of eels, and
the abdomen at rest This la done
at first by the application of ice, or
sometimes by heat.
A cathartic has lust exactly the
opposite effect. The tumbling,
squirming colls of Intestine Increase
their turnings and twistlngs, and
spread any infection over more or
less of the entire abdominal content,
converting what might have been a
simple case into one of the most
serious conditions the surgeon has
to encounter.. Or If there- should be
a localised abscess around the ap
pendix, not serious as a rule, a ca
thartic by setting up Intestinal mo
tion, may rupture the abscess, thus
allowing the pus to spread aver the
intestinal folds. Locally in many
cases early in the history of the at
tack nausea and vomiting prevent
the patient from taking a cathartic
and thus safeguard him..
What then Is the correct thing to
do if attacked by a pain in the sto
mach f The answer is (simple : send
for the family doctor and let him
decide between the surgeon and a
physic. For those who have no fam
ily doctor, the advice Is herewith of
fered that one should be selected
without delay. There is no one, how
ever healthy and sound, who may
not fall victim to an accident or
awaken In the night to find himself
suffering from the onset of an acute
disease. How much better at such
a time to send for the trusted family
doctor, one who Is a friend, who has
already been tried and proven, than
to be compelled to hunt up a strang
er, perhaps without any opportunity
of preference. The individual who
does not boast a trusted family doc
tor is poor indeed. But whether you
have one or not, when attacked by
a stomach ache, don't take a cathar
tic. Fetch a doctor.

said: "I heard your lecture last
week so here I am. What can you
do for me?" "The first thing we
can do," I replied, "is to give you
a very careful physical examina
tion." I began with the top of his
head, the eyes, the nose, and
mouth. When I got to the month,
I said: "Let us X-ray the teeth."
He laughed and said, "I dant have
any. These are false." "Well." I
said "let us X-ray the places where
the teeth were." We found three
broken-off root, where the gums
had completely healed over and
left focal infection in the healing
over process. The tonsils were in
fected, and I suggested that tliey
be removed. He said. "That's it,
you doctors always want to cut
out something. What were they
put there fox If they ban to come
out?"
I have been asked this Question
many times. It used to be diffi
cult for me to answer it. until I'
thought of a little comparison. I
said. "Suppose we have a bank,
and every day the cashier slips out
five or ten dollars and puts it Into
his pocket, and you come and tell
me about the bank not being .very
safe. I say, 'What you want to do
Is to get rid of the cashier.' You
would say. 'No, what was that
cashier put there for?' " The ton
silse. the appendix, and the gall
bladder were put into the body
for a purpose, and as long at they
are doing the work well, they
should never be removed. But we
are talking about taking out the
bad ones. When a cashier's eon
duct is such that his work inhibits
the growth or business of the
bank, you are better off without
him."
He agreed and let us remove the
root fragment and take out the
tonsils, and we rave him some
treatment and advice concerning
diet. In three weeks he came back
and hit my desk so hard It Jarred
the ink well. He said. "See that
hand. It doesn't bother me at
all."
It does pay to have a periodic
health examination. X think we
could put this periodic health ex
amination on the same basis that
we do the examination of things
In the business world. Think of
tne man who goes along In a gaso
line truck or car Inspecting bridges,
culverts, ties, and rails of the rail
Toad. It costs something to have
that done, but the inspector can
detect dangers in advance, and, if
used in time, a few shovels of dirt
or gravel, or an extra spike put in,
will prevent a very serious acci
dent. An annual audit costs some
thing, but in the end it saves you
money and trouble and pain, and
It prolongs life.
POSTMASTER QUITS,
JOB IS TOO COSTLY
St. Clair Shores. Mich. (LP
Postmaster Russell W. Swhler. of
this suburb full of millionaires has
resigned. H cost him too much to
be postmaster he says.
The population of St. Clair
Shores is worth approximately
$100,000,000. most of its citizens be
ing millionaire- or multimillion
aires. Consequently the suburb,
Instead at being compactly com
posed of snug little cottages like an
ordinary village, consists of a
string of great estates, extending
for miles along Lake St. CUir.
The expense fund of Postmaster
Swhler'g office was never design
ed to support a mall route many
miles long. He had to make up
the deficit out of his own pocket.
He estimates it cost him 2.5O0 in
two years and seven months of
postmastershlp.

POPULAR TRIO
OF AIR NAMED
Milwaukee. (IPV-CoL Charles A.
Lindbergh stm is the popular idol
of aviation; Rear Admiral Richard
Byrd is the greatest navigator; Ed
ward Stlnson is the man who has
spent the most hours in the air and
Orvllle Wright is acknowledged un
iversally as the father of aviation.
Earl J. Smith, Detroit, assistant to
the president of the Stlnson Air
craft corporation said here recently.
These pioneers in the safe and
practical development of aviation
popularize the industry for tne
public, Smith told a delegation of
air minded legislators and business
men who met here to draft resolu
tions seeking to stabilize the in
dustry in the Midwest.
"Aviation is sale ana reuaoie,"
he said. "The three great argu
ments for flying are, that aviation
has the lowest overhead for main
tenance and operation of any-mode-
of transportation: It Is the speed
iest transportatioa medium and tt
la safe and reliable." - -
Smith quoted statistics in an at
tempt to prove that at percent of
the air mall - planes arrived on
scheduled time in 1W. establish
ing better reliability records than
railroads or steamship lines.
"These statistics will perhaps
show that the business man of to
day, with a licensed plane, licensed
pilot and decent flying weather,
may say 'I am ready to fly,' "
Smith said.
TAOIST PRIESTS
FIND HAVENS IN
HANKOW'S DENS
Hankow (P Driven from their
temples by government decree. Ta
olst priests in Hankow, exponents
of one of the oldest religions In
China, have taken refuge In amb
ling dens and other similar resorts
where the proprietors permit them
to preach on a commission basis.
The faithful who attend services
are taxed a small sum each and the
priests divide with then- hosts In
lieu of rent.
Since the beginning of the Chi
nese Republic the authorities have
conducted a campaign against the
Taolsts, branding them as nothing
more than organized clairvoyants
and fortune tellers. Numerous de
crees have been Issued at Nanking
ordering the priests to vacate their
temples and find other professions
or leave tha country.
But a religion as old as Taoism,
no matter what the government
may think about It, could not thus
be swept out of existence. Most of
the Taolsts in Hankow left their
temples, But they took up head
quarters In side-streets and alley
ways, only to be driven out by the
police.
Proprietors of gambling houses,
seeing an opportunity to increase
their receipts, engaged the priests
to tell fortunes to their customers
and to conduct services at a fixed
sum per person. Under this sort
of protection, the Taolsts have con
trived to keep their faith alive al
though many have been thrown
Into Jail.

SHOW BOAT OF
FERBER NOVEL
STILL AFLOAT
Elizabeth City, N. O. (LP) The
original show boat on which Bdna
Ferber obtained the background
and material for her famous novel
has not been destroyed by fire, and
today, the real "Show Boat", James
Adams Floating Theater, is tied up
at the Pasquotank river bank here,
it u claimed by Elizabeth City cit
izens. The contention that the show
boat was still plying up and down
the lower Mississippi river or had
been destroyed by frre is denied
here.
A large ship's wheel was a fea
ture of the theater display In New
York. City when the Ziegfeld pro
duction, "Show Boat," was draw
ing large crowds. A placard be
neath It proclaimed It was all that
remained from the original show
boat.
Miss Ferber Is understood to
have written to Carl E. NeeL agent
for James Adams' Floating Theater,
about six years ago, asking his per
mission to spend a few weeks on
board the boat. Charles M. Hunt
er, manager of the boat and brother-in-law
of Adams, granted the
request, telling her sne oouid board
the Floating Theater at any stoo
ping point convenient to her.
The novelist boarded the show
boat at Bath, oldest town la North
Carolina, It Is said, and for more
than two weeks lived on the boat,
gathering material for her work.
Hunter and his wife are believed
to be the central figures In Miss
Ferber plot.
The Cotton Blossom, a Mississip
pi show boat, claims to be the boat
pictured In Miss Ferbers book.
Miss Ferber's plot took place In the
old Crlnolln days and the name of
"Cotton Blossom" was considered
the best. Hunter Is said to have
told the novelist that a boat named
the Cotton Blossom was probably
tha most popular, and the largest
afloat during the period of her pro
posed novel.
