Powers acd Stome, Inc, New York and Chicago. : TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1928 IEEE THOSE WHO CANNOT PAY * The Carnegie Corporation, the Milbank Memorial Fund, the Russell Sage Founda- tion and the Twentieth Century Fund are jointly financing a study which has as its objective a practical answer to the following question: "How can a family of moderate means secure adequate scientific medical service at a cost which it can afford?" Co- operating with these philanthropies are the American Medical Association, the Metro- politan Life Insurance Company, the United States Public Health Service and some of "the leading members of the medical profes- sion are on the committee making the study of this grave problem, Hospitals are not now self-supporting and .physicians as a group are not receiving ade- quate incomes, yet the committee is hopeful of working out a plan whereby medical treat. ment may be made more easily available and less expensive and the incomes of doc- tors and hospitals can be increased. This seems to disprove the axiom "You cannot eat your cake and have it." Even that can be accomplished by the magic of modern efficiency and co-operation, Per- haps medical experts suspect the existence . of waste and inefficiency. Or they may have in mind a standard treatment for all with a sliding scale of charges under which the rich would bear most of the burden. There is also the possibility that they will find a way to collect something from many now receiv- 'ag free treatment, WEATHER FOR WEEK AHEAD Not only is the weather a subject of con- tinuous and ever-fresh interest to the pub- lic at large, but it-also appears te exert a peculiar fascination over the scientists who have made its sequences and vagaries their especial study, Undeterred by the formid- able difficulties that beset the path of those endeavoring to lay a solid foundation for a foursquare science of meteorology, the weathermen of many countries have co- ordinated their work and by constant col- lection of data and exchange of observa- tions and theories have sought to penetrate the arena wherein the remote and more immediate causes of weather movements are concealed, Despite the obstacles en- countered, 8 system of forecasting the weather for at leasty twenty-four hours ahead, has been developed with good claims to reasonable accuracy in a general way for districts, if not for every locality within A system ensbling weather changes to be forecast for a week in advance, with an expectancy of accuracy almost as close as that attained by the daily forecasts, has now been worked out by Mr, C. L. Mitchell, United States expert for the district of Washington. He has employed it in his own domain, embracing the eastern section of the country, for only a few weeks, but nd this lies 8 lengthy period of study "experimental forecasting" designed to elucidate the principles involved and the kind of observation and analysis required on 276 two to seven days in advance, the changed as predicted on 201 occa- , @n accuracy score of 72.8 per cent. The percentage of accuracy in the case of official daily forecasts comes between 82 and 83 per cent, Explaining the new method to the Ameri- can Meterological Society, Mr. Mitchell stat- ed thet "the amount of time required in preparation of the data by the forecaster is considerably greater, but well worth the ex- tra labor involved" He then proceeded to define more specifically how the data amass- JH § of high pressure. : ' "The locations of the centres of both cy- clones and anti-cyclones likely to affect the weather of the eastern half of the United States for the next week are then predicted and entered on a chart for each day for a week in advance. It is then not so difficult to proceed with the next stage in the pre- paration of the forecast for a week ahead." Rainfall, Mr, Mitchell further explained, is predicted for the day on which a cyclone, or storm centre, is due to pass the meridian of the locality for which the forecast is issued and, under certain conditions, for the preceding day. It is particularly important, he said, that the rate of movement and place of origin of storms be considered. FATE OF THE CRITIC The world that is so crafty and so smug has a way of dealing with those who lash it --its satirists and cynics, It honors, them, with many editions, with standard biogra- phies, with a place in history and with monu- ments and niches in halls of fame. Behind these things it goes its own way. Its game is: a slick one and a double one. Deny the satirigé a public and his message is of no avail, Give him one and he is as helpless, One cannot hut admire the world in a way for that. What an infinite capacity it has for taking pains, what a splendid tough skin that has easily endured so many years and so many assaults, what an ability, to use the jargon of the prize ring, for "ab- sorbing punishment," All so neatly. All as though it knew where it was going and did- n't want to be bothered, It is like the magi- cian of Norse mythology who, when struck by Thor's hammer, was nearly riven, yet yawned and asked, "Did an acorn fall?" The world likes its great men of thought and vision. It will do anything for them but follow or heed them, save in its own time, on its own terms, Satire is both a duty and a pleasure for the satirist, But not even such masters of satire as Swift and Voltaire probably de- ceived themselves into thinking they were ever taken seriously hy any large numbers. Those who think differently from him look for the proverbial tongue in the cheek, and the few who sense the truth in the satire have a happy faculty of applying the picture EDITORIAL NOTES Prejudice: An opinion that has set, The balances that justice carries are not adjustable to long waits. The man who is satisfied with himself is usually playing: solitaire. Any modern traffic cop would have hand- led the job as well as Horatius. The only man qualified to give orders is the one who has risen by being willing to obey orders. Occasionally even the deliberate liar gets careless and doesn't take time to get his story straight. It was a long time ago that the weather made up its mind it could not please every- body, and quit trying, "What are we doing for the youth of to- day?" asks an editorial writer. Well, for one thing, the drug stores now sell a taste- less castor oil, Bit of Verse A CRY TO THE BUILDER ne. Build me not a castle of wood or stone, Nor of marble costly and rare; Build me a nook of hopes and dreams In a glade where the rays of the sumlight gleams Melt in shadows and vanish in air. Round that little nook sow seeds of love, That I may tend with care; Then on duty's flower build me a bower, For strength when the perfume has left love's flower, And dreams have vanished in air. =a.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE NOT ALWAYS DANGEROUS Perhaps one of your friends, or even a member of your family has been told that he has a high blood ure, and you have wondered whether the condition was really a serious mattew, Now high blood pressure is real- Iy never a normal condition, but the cause in many cases is not of an alarming nature, However, it should always be investigated. Dr, J. H. Gibbes speaks of it as a '"'discase" of middlde life, but it might properly be termed a '"'con- dition" found usually in middle life. He finds also that it 1s to a considerable extent an {inherited condition, 70 percept. of the pa- tients sharing a family tendency to heart, blood vessel, or kidney ailments. Another cause was the presence of infection from teeth, tonsils, sinuses, gall bladder and intestine. When these infections were removed the blood pressurd showed a distinct improvement, reaching normal in many cases. Another cause is eating much and exercising little. The ®ffect of regular exercise over a lengthy period, is to keep the elastic lining of the blood vessels in such a fresh, healthy condition that the average athlete has a blood pres- sure fou rto ten points lower than the average man his age, Thus while we find a lowered blood pressure in thin delicate individu- als, and in individuals who had a low infection for a considerable time, this is not due to the extra elasticity of their blood vessels but to a lowered tone of the whole muscular system, particularly th¥ heart muscle itself. Another cause, and it hinges on the above, is that high blood pres- sure is most frequently associated with overweight. What is my point? ' Simply that while high blood pressure need not alarm you, in fact, it Is sometimes due to newv- vousness, nevertheless it is not a normal condition and should be investigated. If due to some Infecton, this should he removed, If due to some heart or kidney ailment the best treatment pos- sible to make life safe should be undertaken. High blood pres- sure, that is always present, may mean a siroke or death, if treat- ment is neglocted, its cause FRUITS IN SEASON--The wicked worketh a deceitful work, but to him that soweth righteous- ness shall be a sure reward-- Prov. 11:18, PRAYER----ILet us never forget, Lord, that whatsoever a man sow- eth that shall he also reap. | INVESTIGATION HELD INTO FATAL BLAZE -- Woodstock, May 28.--- New de- velopments have arisen in comnec- tion with the Otterville fire af- fairs which James Lefler of that village lost his life at an ear- ly hour on Sunday morning.

Downing of Otterville, the Cor- oner, ordered an inquest, The jury was assembled at the Otter- ville undertaking establishment last night, and, after viewing the remains, the inquest was adjourn- ed until Tuesday evening. The only surviving relative of Mr. Lefler, Mrs. Thompson of Ce- dar Springs, ceased, has arrived in Otterville to take charge of the remains.
