was a litting recognition of these val

We see som1e mighty good towns ar<
allowing carnivals to show in theirt
Midst. We also see where some
mlighty good newspapers object to
them. Laurens has gote on record as
being opposed to them and they have
not been able to pitcl their temits
here in a number of years. We be
lieve that all cities and tow tns should
bar them until they do away with sug
gestive acts and gaiblinig devices.
Their influence is very denoralizing
to a town and they do not give value
for the money spent on them. We be
lieve that a town should welcome
clean amusement, but should keep)
out the nwholesoie.
The Advertiser is always delighted
to print church notices, notices of
club meetings, school mueetings andot
the like. 1i4t, we do not like to lake
these notices over the telephoine.
There are several rea sons for it. ThIe(
11irst and foreinost is that in taking

JOIN T MEETING SUNDAY
held Interesting Meeting at the First
Presb? terian ('hutt.
On Sunday night at the First Pres
byterican church, the Christian En
deavor Society of the First Presby
teriana churc h. the .1uilor C. E. Society
of the First P'resbyterian church and
the Youn:, People's Union of the As
'('ia e Ilefom'taed Presbyterlanu chu rch
and the Epworth League of the First
Mlethodist church held a Union ser
vic e.
Miuch interest was manifested by
the young pieople of the ditterent so
cieties. and most excellent addresses
were delivered by Mr. Jas. hi. Sulli
van, of the Methodist society, on
"Character Building" emphasizing the
fact that true character building for
Christ should begin In youth. Mirs. .1.
It. Ellis represented the A. R. P. so
ciety, her topic "Ser\-ice", stressing
the point that each member of these
societies had their individual work for
God to perform here on earth that
they would be better fitted for the
life to come. Little Miss Sara Eliza
Swygert, president of the Junior C. E.
society, recited a beautiful little poem
entitled "Step by Step", showing how
each round we climb on the ladder of
life brings us closer to our Savior in
His service.
Dr. Ii. K. Aiken of the Presbyterian
society addressed the young people on
"Fellowship'. what lie wished im
pressed most upon the audience was.
not. merely professing Christianity.
Cut the religion we lived each (lay
among our fellowman. that really
showed the religion "e had.
Bible readings bearing on each situb
ject. were very forcefully read just be
fore these addresses.
A very important feature of this
meeting was the music by the choirs
of these different societies and a solo
most appropriate and beautifully ren
dered by Mrs. Ii. K. Aiken.
The last, but not least on the pro
gramme was a short address of en
couragement to these joint societies
by Dr. S. L. Morris, secretary of the
Sliome Mission Board.

TO INDICATE PAIN
MOVEMENT OF HANDS GIVES IN
FORMATION TO PHYSICIAN.
Experts Consider Motion an import
ant Point in Locating Seat of
Trouble-How to Tell Dis.
ease of the Spine.
When a patient is asked to locate
his pain, he does so by t movement of
one or both his hands. The gesture,
however, not only indicates Its seat,
but describes its character and dis
tribution. Physicians say thiit this is
an important point. If the pain is
widely distributed over the whole
chest the patient locates it with a cir
cular rubbing motion of the paln of
the hand, indicating the diffused sore
ness. The pain of a serious inflam
mation, on the other hand, is de
scribed by first drawing the hand
away from the body and then, with
the fingers close together, or with the
index finger extended and the others
flexed, cautiously approaching the seat
of the inflammation.
In appendicitis the patient does not
touch the skin at all when asked to
locate the pain. Ile simply holds the
palm of his hand over the diseased
aren. With very violent abdominal
pains, which are not inflammatory, the
patient slaps himself vigorously
across the abdomen on being asked
to indicate the location of his trouble.
if a child complains of persistent pain
in the stomach, and there Is no ten
derness on pressure, disease of the
spine Is indicated.
In hip joint disease, the pain will be
referred to a point inside the knee.
With terrific diffused pains in the leg,
not dIue to an inflammation, the pa
tient grasps the leg firmly. If it is a
darling or lancinating pain, he will
indicate it with one finger. In the
pain caused by the descent of renal
calculi and gallstones, he follows
their course with the top of the
thumb or index finger.
The pain of hepatic neuralgia or
"shingles" is indicated with the
thumb or finger. In joint pains the
patient approaches the seat of trouble
very cautiously with the hand spread
tit, while l(generalye pain of loco
motor ntnxin is described by grasping
the nffeeted aren firmly, indicating a
band-like pain. Or, if the pain is
sharp and lightning-like in the leg, the
pain gesture is perfectly descriptive.
an energetic downward motion, at the
same time twisting the hand as though
manipulating a corkscrew.
A patient had complained of a se

head is it?" he was asked. And, in
dicnting the spot, he placed his finger
on the parietal etninence. Th' he didi
