KEEPING WELL
EPIDEMIC HICCUP
DR. riUDDBHlCK H. OHKBN
<?:<Mtor of "HI1ALTH"
VHivYBODT, at some time or other,
hu bad hiccup*. Generally, these
annoying spasms are caused by over
eating or overdrinking, the presence of
gas In the stoinaoh, nervousness or ex
citement. .Evidently, they ure a a old
as the human race. In the days of
Pluto, th# Greek philosopher, Eryxl
machos, au Athenian physician, told
a friend of his who was attacked with
hiccup at a banquet to hold bis breath,
to gargle his throat or to tickle his
noeo with a feather. About the fame
kind of advice that the victim ot today
gets from his frlankls.
But sometimes th# klccups don't
atop. Every few days the newspapers
contain uccounts of someone who has
had hiccups for days uud who cannot
stop. Stranger still are epfaemlcs of
hiccup. Such an epidemic occurred
in Wlnnepag In 1918, when over a
thousand casea ware reported.
Hiccup, of course, la not a disease.
It la murely a spasm of the diaphragm,
the muscular partition between the
chest on v4ty and the abdominal cavity.
This spasm may be alight and tem
porary or It mu.v be the symptom of
sdme serious disease. It Is common in
some nervous disorders or It may oc
cur In the last stagts of some diseases.
But for hiccup to occur among hun
dreds ef people at once Is most un
usual.
The three Wlnnepeg epidemics all
began In November, reached their
height by the first of December and
disappeared by the first of January.
All ages were affected from a child of
ten to an old man of eighty-seven.
Strange to say, over 00 per cent were
males.
No definite cause could be foum'..
But each epidemic was closely con
nected with an epidemic of Influenza.
Influenza Is a Btrange disease. When
It came to this country In 1850, It v as
celled the epizootic. After running all
over the country like wild fire, it he
enme milder und less frequent and
Anally died out entirely. For many
years, no one ever heard of It. Then
In 1880-1800 it suddenly appeared as
la grippe.
Strangely enough, this dlsense never
seems the same. Some years most of
the afflicted have all the symptoms
of a bad cold. Another year It will re
semble bronchitis or pneumonia. Then
It will be marked by nausea and vom
iting or so-called "stomach llu," while
again It will seem to -spend Its ener
gies on the Intestinal . trucU??It has
been noticed that, at some times and
places, Its effects are largely on the
brain and nerves. Most cases of so
called sleeping sickness are due to In
fluenza Infection. . It Is this form which
is most frequently accompanied by
I'hlccup. None, of the cases In Wlnne
peg was fatal, although several' djed of
sleeping sickness. Altogether a strange
and mysterious sickness.

State's Progress Reflected
In Telephone Growth
HE growth and progress of
South Carolina last year
was strikingly reflected in
the large investment in addi
tions and extensions to the tele
phone system.
Such an active year of con
struction has rarely been expe
rienced in the State, and, as a
result, the telephone service is
more extensive and more valu
able than ever before.
In South Carolina last year
the telephone workers handled
1 1,7 2 5 telephone stations,
making a net gain of 2,59.5 new
telephones and involving gross
additions to plant of approxi
mately $645,880.
To accomplish this big task
required the services of 763
workers, whose annual wage
bill was $8of>,949.
The investment in service in
South Carolina as of December
31, 1924, was $7,207,196, ana
there are now 57, 388 Bell tele
phones in the State.
vSome of the items included
in the investment are 55 cen
tral offices, 100,682 miles of
wire, 1,89^ miles of pole line
and 124 miles of underground
duct.
There is> a bigger task ahead
this year, and your considerate
interest encourages the tele
phone workers in their effort
to serve you even better.

Find Improvement Well
Worth Time and Money i
One good example of a village that
was not well planned originally. but
row has oeen transformed into i u e\
i rem el y pleasing place, is '..esioti.
Mass. Weston formerly had u lur,.?
Mvauip areu In Its center. This hti?
v-en drained, graded, seeded to trass*
nd planted to pine, lir and chestnut
?ees. A new town hall and a lire i
.?tat Ion lyive been bfillt opposite the
ntrance to the common^ Public build
ings now are rem rally grouped."' Old,
? ? n si l: h tly structures have been torn
<wn. The improvements were
; lunned by a landscape architect. It
took 25 years to put the plan through,
I'Ut everyone In Weston now believes
the enterprise was worth the time
nnd money It cost.
A village that was started with u
good plan and has realized It Is Pat
terson, Calif. This village and colony
of irrigated farms, occupying 18.000
acres, were planned In 1010. Roads
leading to the village were strategical
ly located and planted with trees and
shrubs. The village Itself has eight
streets radiating from a civic center,
where the public buildings are situat
ed. In the last four years the resi
dents of the village have built a pub
lic librar;. , % community club house, a
concrete swimming pool and a gram
mar school, and have provldud a tour
ist park.
Ugly Village Called
Detriment to Farmer
Benuty 1b overtaking the drab Amer
ican village, according to observations
of the Department of Agriculture In
a current study of village planning
and i 1 8 benefits.
Although nearly 'JO, 000, 000 persons
live In American villages and a farm
ing population of 150, 000,000 largely
depends upon them for business, edu
cational and social purposes, the de
partment found they are "usually un
attractive and often very ugly," suf
fering by comparison In this respect
with those of other countries. The
start that l? being made toward Im
provement and beautlflcatlon has
proved In every case, it was said, a
material asset aa well as an esthetic
one.
Pointing out that, "bb the farmer's
chief point of contact with outside
Interests, the ti\?ne enn inakc a big
contribution to the happiness of furm
life," the department asserted that an
attractive village with good streets
and convenient approaches and recre
ation spots was "?n Important Influ
ence Ir. stabilizing farm life and coun
teracting the attractions of the cities
for the young people of the farm."
Study Plant Needs
The general conditions of a garden
cannot supply all plants, or perhaps
any plant with those obtaining In the
native situation. Itight here steps in
the skillful, well-posted gardener and
suppMes by artificial means a compen
sation for the lack of natural condi
tions. All who garden should do like
wise, or leave gardening to those who
will and do.- Plants have wonderful
powers of adaptation, hut the farther
we meet them on their journey toward
local conditions, the grenter will be
our success In growing them. A strik
ing case of adaptation Is that of the
camphor tree, which In Its native hab
itat thrives best with an annual rain
fall of 230 Indies. Though It thrives
here. It does much hotter in the damp
climate of Florida, or even In the
gulf frontage of Texas. Study peculiar
plant needs and meet them so far as
you can. ? 1,0' Angeles Times.
Fire Protection
Next to death, nothing Is more cer
tain than fire. Thnt Is why the por
tion!} of the building most vulnerable
to fire? the basement celling over the
heating plant and fuel room, the par
titions around the stairwell and the
construction around chimney breast ?
should be plastered on metal lath. Re
