Tile valley of the Rhone han been quite noted for its goiter victims, al though I am happy to say that through the increased watchfulness of the au thorities there now is an abatement of the disease. Many different causes am assigned to the terrible affliction —this enlargement of the glands of the throat, goiter, or “big neck,” as it is some times called—wind even the best inform ed are far from being unanimous as to its origin or prevention. The peasants themselves say it is brought on by the habitual use of snow and glacial water. The water is so cold it acts as a counter irritant, and so inflames the throat, but this explanation hardly bolds, as the inhabitants of the upper regions are not so often afflicted ns are the people in tbo lower valleys. The use of chemically impure water, especially hard water, is given as a cause. The experiment has been made where the water of certain wells was used to the exclusion of all other water. With in a short time goiter symptoms began to manifest themselves where none had been before. Sometimes this dis ease is epidemic. An instance was noted where iu a garrison one out of ev ery'2o men became afflicted. Infants are seldom born with goiter, but after it once takes hold the progress of the disease is very rapid. I believe that it is rarely fatal, but because of this en largement of the glands and the conse quent disfigurement of the throat it is most repulsive, and yet the natives are so accustomed to seeing it that they do not seem to care. It probably is simply a source of discomfort rather than mor tification. In fact, in some portions of France, Italy and Switzerland a goiter is a thing to be prized and to bo exhib ited, for its possession exempts a man from military service. Young men have been known to resort to certain wells supposed to convey this poison to the blood that they might evade conscrip tion. When Savoy was annexed to Franco, vigorous measures were adopt ed to stamp out if possible this hateful disease. There was a heavy penalty for drinking the water of forbidden wells, and then the little children were treat ed in the hope of curing them. Lozen ges of iodine were and out of 5,000 children 2,000 were cured, and more would have been helped had not the parents ignorantly opposed the giving of the remedies. The villages al so were cleaned and sanitary measures insisted upon. For, aside from all other causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may be transmitted or bo sporadic. Like diphtheria, it is a filth disease, and of ten has its origin in the negligent hab its of the villagers. These peasants re fuse to live elsewhere than in the old “dorter” (villages), each morning going far away to the fields, but returning at night to their overcrowded homes, where men, women and children, cows, goats and donkeys dwell together fra-4 ternally. —Chicago Inter Ocean. SHOWED HIS BAGCAGE. There Wasn’t Much of It, but It Satisfied the Clerk. It is not always necessary to travel with three or four Saratogas, a dress suit case, a bundle of rugs and a bird cage in order to obtain good accommo dations at hotels. Occasionally there does exist through- ■ out this hospitable land a hotel which does not require a certificate as to a per son’s ancestry, status in life, past his tory and future movements before its clerk permits one the privilege of a room. At least this is the firm belief advanced by a young Chicago couple just back from their wedding trip. Down east one day the train wended its way through the woods and heights of the Adirondacks and miles away from civilization halted at a lone platform bordered by a piny wildness too allur ing to be slighted by westerners fresh from prairie lands. “Train stops 1 hour and 15 minutes, ” aunounced the young husband who had made a dash for the conductor. Out on the platform and up the charming road wandered these two, and time flew. However, they kept an eye on their watches and reached the platform with ten minutes to spare. But the train was gone. A lone man perched at the end of the platform ' explained in a bored way in the face of their indignation that it was 15 minutes and not 1 hour and 15 min utes that the train stopped. “When is the next train?” the trav elers begged. “There isn't any, ” sweetly said the native. “Where is a hotel?” they shouted. "Up the road the other way,’’the sphinx said in a tired way and turned to watch the antics of a grasshopper. Up the road the other way they went and discovered in the wilderness a ho tel with a haughty clerk, electric lights and all modern improvements. “Any baggage?” inquired the man at the desk as the young man registered. The travelers gasped in consternation as they stared wildly at each other with the sudden shook of realizing that trous seau, traveling bags and umbrellas were speeding miles away from them. “Oh, yes!” gulped the young husband Sirily. “Baggage —of course.” He plunged into one pocket, drew out a small comb, his wife’s powder box and its accompanying square of chamois, which he gravely laid before the clerk. That gentleman never moved an eye lash. “Frontl” he called. “No. 227!” The heroine of this story still claims Iho imperturbable clerk was a mind reader, but her husband says it was all due to her helpless, appealing air and the streak of cinders on her nose.—Chi cago News. _________ Business Methods. “ What!
