THE ROAD TO HEALTH
Watch Sore Throats
By William D. Norman, M
Chief, Department of Otolaryngology
St. Mary’s Infirmary and Homer
Phillips Hospital, St. Louis, Mo.
Some ailments which seem slight in
Themselves can cause a great deal of
suffering and be o threat to health. Of
ten they are warnings that a serious
illness is developing.
I was reminded of this fact by the
comments of a .patient who had just
recovered from a severe attack of tou
silitis. The last time she came to my
office for a check-up after her illness,
she said several times. 'Doctor. I don’t
know how a sore throat could make
anybody so sick”.
Of course. Miss enn had more than
a sore throat. The sore throat was only
the beginning of her illness. When she
first noticed that her throat hurt she
paid little attention to it, thinking she
might only be catching a cold. Her
mother advised her to gargle with a
solution she happened to have on hand
which Miss Penn did. .then went to
the movies.
That night she woke up with a fe
ver and aching pains in her back and
legs. Her throat hurt worse and she
had difficulty in swallowing. The fe
ver was followed by chills, then she
became hot again. One moment she was
hot, the next shaking with chills.
The following morning she stayed
inbed, though she felt fairly comfort
able eycept for the soreness in her
throat. By afternoon, however, the
chills and fever had returned and her
mother sent for me.
I found Mis# Penn's tonsils badly in'
fected. In fact, she had an acute case
of tonsilitis. Before the end of the day
it was necessary to give her one of the
sulfa drugs to combat the infection.
Within 24 hours the fever was under
control and she was out of immediate
danger. It was necessary for her to
stay in bed several days, however, un
til her body was completely free of
the poison from the diseased tonsils.
So sick she had been that she needed a
great deal of rest to rebuild her good
health.
Tonsilitis is due to an infection of
the tonsils. It causes the throat to be
come very sore and is usually accom
panied by chills, high fever, aches and
pains. The severity of the attack often
depends upon the general physical con
dition of the individual. A person whs
is run down loses his resistence to the
invading organisms which infect the
tonsils and he may become very ill.
Without proper care during an at
tack of tonsilitis, the patient may suf
fer serious consequences. There is the
danger that pnuemonia may develop
and there is danger that kidney trou
ble may result.
It might seem that a quick cure for,
tonsilitis would be to remove the di
seased tonsils. But this would be dan
gerous. The tonsils should never be
removed during an attack. The oper
ation might cause the infection to
spread to other parts of the body.
It is often advisable to remove the
tonsils after the attack and after the
patient has regained his srength. The
advice of the doctor should be fol
lowed as to whether such an opera
tion is necessary. One attack of ton
silities may be followed by another.
While rest and frequent gargling
with warm water and plain salt water
may relieve a sore throat, a doctor
should be consulted if the tonsf|s be
come swollen or show other signs of
disease.

Drama
— By Al Sparks —
FEAR A\0 HATE
Psychologists agree that prejudice
is 100 percent learned. No one inher
its prejudices. Children hear their
parents and older associates talk about
minority groups, religion, etc., and
thereby from pre'udiced ideas about
them. Tolerant attitudes can be form
ed as easily as prejudices, but there
is little teaching of tolerance and much
inculcation of prejudice. Hence, most
people grow up with all sorts of fears
and dislikes of various groups. Every
one has a natural desire to feel sup
erior. Those who can satisfy this de
sire by being ‘better than average’
have little need to fall back upon the
mistaken belief that their group is su
perior to others.
Prejudice limits and distorts an in
dividual’s point of view, closes the
mind to facts, makes unbiased judge
ment impossible. Some people become
possessed by their prejudices. They
can’t think. Thy can only fear and)
hate.”
Don’t get mean because you can’t
find your shoes in the morning. Shoes
are never where you put 'em last nite,
and besides, maybe you didn't put ’em
there.

DISCREDITS
Miss Della Williams, 2813 Franklin
Street, says she was on her way to
the store Saturday night when a man
walked up behind and encircled her
with his arms and said “where do you
think you are goint?” She said he
tried to force her into the vacant lot
where the old Long School used to
be, threatening to beat her head off
if she screamed. Sh» reasoned it was
iust as well to “cream; then the man
began to beat '-t. Ft screams, she
said, attracted p—=ers bv —ho 'he mar.
began to tell “i'V alright, she's my
wife”. More people gathered and the
man fled up an alley. Other incidents
of this sort have been reported. Pro
tective and other organizations, instru
mental in protesting the persecution of
the innocent, can do equal good by
insisting upon the prosecution of
the Fiendish; as they are a discredit
and a burden upon any community of
decent and law abiding citizens. '

WASHINGTON—AN P—A force of

colored field workers ever employed
by cooperative extension service, is now
helping to guide the nation’s colored

white and colored farmers alike speed
up their conversion from cotton where
necessary to livestock, poultry, and
vegetable crops, and also improve their
living standards, extension service di
rectors in the southern states have in
creased their white field workers bv

since last June. This increasees the
colored agents from 591 to 720, or by
21.8 percent, and the white agents and
assistant agents in the south from

HOW IS YOUR
PUBLIC CONSCIENCE
HUlti 1/ilLUH
It was Mr. Justice Holmes who said:
“The greatest menace to freedom is
an inert people”.
No dictator usurps power. Power
usually passes by default when the
old government has grown weak thru
compromise with evil. The tragedies of
history tt-e tragedies of the misuse of
power. If we compromise with evil
today, .then are we undone tomorrow.
It is seldom that liberty of any kind
is lost all at once.
“Hey, don’t vou know the war is
over and won?”, you say.
Hold on a minute, brother. Sure I
know we won the war. .but are we
winning the peace? Victory in arms
did not guarantee that. It only won
us another chance to work for lasting
peace and prosperity. It may be our
last chance. There can be no perma
naent peace unless and UNTIL just
ice is also present.
“The sign of good government is
the fulfilment of the promises made
in the Bill or Rights, the Foui' Free
doms and the Atlantic Charter. "When
a government is tyrannical and denies
these rights to ANY group of its citi
zens, it no longer should be consider
ed representative of the people”.
I es. it wasnt so long ago we all
subcribsed to that. But doesn’t your I
public conscience twinge a little?
If we keep silent when we see a
wrosg committed, we give consent to
it, and we become silent in the face
of evil, we condone it, aid its repetiliin
It is not a matter of taking sides. It
is the coming to the defense of right
against wrong, or justice against in
justice, of liberty against oppression,
or religion against paganism, of the
sanctity of the individual against the
supremacy of the State.
I’m not tellng you what I think.,
but I AM telling you TO THINK and |
and to let those whom you put in .
power know your thoughts. They do
not do their work with the aid of a |
crystal ball. They can’t figure out your'
thoughts unless you tell them. They
can hear only a vocal, highly organi
zed minority, .unless you. the people,
really wake up and tell them you be
lieve in right for right’s sake and that
Americans don’t compromise or bar
gain with another person’s rights or
freedoms. When you keep quiet when
you should speak out, you aid in sell
ing your brother down the river. Let
the people be good and the govern
ment cannot be bad. Who was it said,
“People will not always have the
government they deserve, but they will
alwavs have the governmeri they ap
plaud”?
How is vour private conscience?
