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.

him with n crippled left foot and
leg. 1 nm worried so that 1 can't
sleep, for fear my baby will be
born with a foot nnd leg like
that. . . Mrs. J. C. K.
Answer That is foolish. There
is no tendency for an acquired
defect to be transmitted to chil
dren. Had your huaband been
horn with the defect, then you
mik'ht have reasonnblo cause for
some anxiety. Hut I assure you
the baby Is no more likely to
have any such defect than there
Is to be born with curly hair if
your husband had n permanent

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

(3KTTIXfi 1XTO MISCHIEF"
By Alice .Imlson IJcnle ,
,..four-yoai-jt0; Jioy was "gfven
for 1il;4' birthday a fine set nf paints,
but no paper to go with them.
An. hour .later his mother-came
into hip room to find walls, furni
ture and bedspread vividly decor
ated with "designs. "
. His. best new suit had also re
ceived attention. As a punishment
he was thoroughly scolded and hi
paints taken nwny.
. A little girl of six received per
mission to .play in the wash basin
with her celluloid ducks and fishes.
When, some 20 minutes later, her
mother discovered her dripping wet
from chin, to knee, sho punished
her for her carelessness..
Both chi(di'n were punished for
something which was certainly not
I their fault. Ono cannot expect a
four-year old to restrain his de.sire
to paint simply because he has no
paper on which to do it. The im
portance of adult possesions let not
half so real to him tn his desire to
use a beautiful now toy. If wo let
a child play with water wo must
expect her to get wot unless we
give her a rubber apron.
Unless mothers exercise foresight
nnd plahfulnciss, children will nl
ways get into mischief. It is the
parent's responsibility, not the
child's to see that his interests do
not get him into trouble.
Children need such things as
clay, paints, crayons, hammer nnd
water to carry out their play ideas.
If the use of thee materials spreads
destruction nnd makes extra work
for mother, it Is not the children's
fault.
Linoleum on the playroom floor,
oilcloth on .the table, rubber or oil
cloth aprons, " proper materials to
work: with these plus a certain
amount of training In the use of
tools and materials would obviate
many of the little daily tragedies)
