CURIOUS CUSTOMS OF MONTENEGRINS American Physicians Doim; Relief Work Relate of Their Cures. A. ' Niegosh, Montenegro. ? American physicians doing relief v/crk in M ntenegro toll of some curious methods of treatment employed by the inhabitants of this ljttlo mountain country. When a Montenegrin is wounded the first thought of the natives is to apply chewing tobacco, horsohea or a fresh rabbit skin with the hair facing inside. Common ink is considered a n*?i ^innvlv f<?r Inn Tr> <1 i?i bleeding sores or wounds cobwebs are used. When a person is bitten by a dog, the favorite remedy is to pull off the animal's ear and nib the wound with it. * The patron saint of Montenegro e St. Vacilla, whose shrine is situated en the summit of the mountain between Podgoritza and Niksic. Every week thousands of devcut Montenegrins, come to this mountain ; shrine seelting cure for their ills. But since the arrival of the American phyxicans the pilgrimages to the ancient shrine have not been so numerous. For the natives have found that their ills can he cured much nearer home and with greater certainty at any of the numerous Red Cross dispensaries and clinics. The inhabitants come from the remotest mountain regions. They are carried in all sorts of conveyances, wheelbarrows, donkey carts, buffalo wagons, or on horse back. In one case, an old woman, suffering with scarlet fever, was brought to the Red Cross hospital at Niegosh, which is notable as the birthplace of King Nicholas, in an iron soup pot. It required four days to get her over the many mountain ranges. In another instance a f armer carried his typhus-afflicted wife on his back a distance of G5 miles and 'it the end of the journey fell exhausted on the steps of the Rod cross hospital. He was rewarded for his labors, how- t ever, four week* later by the complete recovery of his wife. In numerous instances p rsons suffering- from total blindness have been led over tedious mountain roads to the. Red cross hospitals by sympathetic friends or sorrowing- rola- i tives, only to find that nothing can be clone for them. There is a greac t prevalence of cataract in the country, caused by chronic makuia, an<i other diseases. A Little More Jazz! The minister was getting things warmed up for a revival.

It 1 is not pleasant to contemplate the I fact that as a nation we are, by the 1 most optimistic estimate, not more than fifty per cent physically effi- 1 sient. If there is anyone who does c not accept this as a fact, let him c read the latest report of the Provost f Marshal General, which shows more } than one-third of the men examined i under the recent draft physically c disqualified from full military ser- t rice; let him read the report of the National Committtee on Health g Problems, showing that seventy-five c per cent, of the school children of the country are suffering from serious c physical defects.?E. Dana Caulkins, c Manager National Physical Educa- i don Service, Washington, D. C. - o IMPORTANCE OF MEDICAL S SCHOOL INSPECTION ( When the State for its own proaction, compels a child to go to school, it pledges itself not to injure .tself by injuring the child. We are beginning to find out that nany of our backward pupils are back vard simply because through physical defects and are unable to handle ;he work of the school program. * What these defects are, and the :ause that lie behind them arc thing- <that we must know. If we do no* ( know them, we must find them ou', ind guard against them. / v Education without health is use- (l< ss.

A'ho'c man is built fundamental-y < n ( vv.a he is physically. Children are not dullards or defectives by the will of providence, but , rrther by the law of cause and of- j fccts. Very often the same care free at- < titude of mind has been shared by the ( parent, as "all children have to have the common children's diseases, and j the sooner the better." If Johnnie breathes through his mouth he always did that, ho will soon outgrow it. The ^ child's cough is only a slight cold. He always turns his head to one side when he reads or writes, it's a habit he has gotten into. He has always been pale, it's -nothing unusual. The results of the condition of these children has become so marked as to insistenly demand attention. The parents, school authorities, and health authorities have been unable to avoid, recognizing the fact that in the nature of these cases, the school has become the most certain center of infection in the community. From these conditions grew up "Medical Inspection" for the purpose of detecting cases of contagious diseases for protection of other children, j Good results has been obtained from Medical Inspection. Epidemics have been avoided. Improvements have been noted in the cleanliness and neatness of the children. A child in a school where physical defects are unrecognized, and disregarded is unable to see distinctly. Eye Strain, headaches, and failure follows all his efforts at study. He soon finds it impossible to keep pac withr. his co^onnions. He. become discouraged, and falls back in h! work. A child suffering from enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which prevents proper nasal breathing, c-oni pels him to keep his mouth open in order to breathe. He is soon considered stupid, makes poor progress in school. He neglects his studies, hates his school, leaves long before be has completed his course, and is well of.n-frwl r>?i flw? rojifl in ?in inof firir n* n l/tv vv/m vii - v/w.?i w . . .. . and despondent life.
