An otherwise candid and obdu-: rate citizen who is subject to chronic rheumatism in spite ol': my earnest efforts and who can recall references made In this column to the work of l")r. Ralph Pemberton on a r t h i t i s. Dr. t Pemberton Is one of the foremost 1 m udents and authorities on ni'- tbiills. And painful tho It be to my well known self esteem to admit It. this irreprcwsible. expert has observed that arthritis pa tients have lower surfaeo teui pernturcs than do normal per sons (icmperaturcH measured by means of electric therm "couple), and he tells us this is due to de creased blood flow In the tissues concerned. If the doctor were Just drawing on his imagination for bis ldoas, as do the erudite medical theorists who still try to explain how folks talk cold from exposure, one mli;bt give him a bit of an argumen. Rut. darn it all. he is not imaginative at all; be Is forbiddingly scientific be studies the tissues involved and finds the capillary bed m network comparatively immobile, the channels constricted, and the Diving Venus I.

When u doctor comes at you like that, you just can't think ot" a s;i liable rejoinder to his com ment that this peculiar . impair ment In the capillary circulation in the affected tiwmea probably explains the sensitiveness of nr thritic; patients to chances of weather and changes of clothing and all that. Oh, well, have it your own way. Dr. Pemberton draws no disagree able Inferences from this scien tific observation, except to sug gest that It apparently accounts for the lowered metabolic fate shown by most arthritis patients. It is In "the capillary bed or field that metabolism Is chiefly carried on. Rut the distinguished arthri tis sneclallst does suggest that the competent physician must regard I arthritis an something more com plicated than a mere focal Infec tion: having found and disposed of the primary focus of Infec tion the physician has done only part of his work; he can pro mote the patient's comfort or perhaps complete recovery mate rially by other therapeutic meas-ui-ps, such as massage, making, diathermy, sun bat by or ultra violet light, hydrotherapy. Here 1 would add to my apol ogy to our arthritis readers my own suggestion lhat too much dodging of weather, too much riddling, in my opinion, tends lo decrease the capillary circula tion and lower the metabolism in the earlier stages of arthritis. 1 do not believe, and I don't think Dr. Pemberton believes, that exposure to cold, wet and the like is a cause of arthritis, however much dbtcomfort such exposure may give one with the disease.

Communications The Church and the Newspaper To tho Editor: ' 1 Tho iiHwnaper is and always a). mil ho .in nllv Ar the ehUrch. One of its most helpful feature for the public weltare may consist in bringing; the work of the churcb m tim iUtont.nn nf the manv thou sands of people who do not regu larly attend her services, "inui the daily press will render the church a very valuable service. And why not? Religion is news, and the gospel is good news. More over, it is the kip of news that the newspaper wilt be glad to give to its readers. , This will also help to offset some of the influence of crime that tho newspaper is called upon to chronicle. The biggest business on earth is not along commercial lines, as many suppose. Religion is still "the chief concern of mortals here below." It is also the biggest en terprise on earth. There is no subject in which people are more vitally Interested than in religion. There is no in fluence of greater good than that which is exerted tht-ough the pow er and influence of religion. Then, with charity for all, according to other households of faith the same privilege nnd esteem that you would enjoy from them, let us co-operate with the press in making a larger use or this valuable me dium for reaching thoae who may not be actively engaged in religious work:, as well as those who are identified with lis and esepcinlly interested in reading .the news ntjout their church.', ii; c. p.
