WOMEN CHIEF OFFENDERS

4 Women are the chief offenders

among those who get drunk on ink

For it is the smallest number of girls who have enough self-restraint to write a letter to a man without slapping all over the place with gooey sentimental slush that they don't mean.

FATIGUE IN DENTISTS

some months ago I wrote about the trouble dentists have with their feet. and about the general ex- haustion they sufler from having to stand on their feet so much of the time. So many dentists. even among the young men in the pro- fession. suffer so much with pain- rul feet that they find it neces- sary to consult orthopedic special- ists and cliiropodists. The sugges- tion has been made that nearly all dental work can be done from a sitting position. This would take the strain off the back and pre- vent general exhaustion.

"The dentist, by occupation, is subject to fatigue. stress and strain. al of which brings him to the at- tention of the orthopedic surgeon. with pain and disability in his back. or deformities and disccmfort. in his feet and knees. The best treat- ment for these conditions is to prevent them. Periodic rest. regular vacations. planned avocations or hobbies, and operating from a sit- ting posltion whenever possible. are most valuable. Teaching the stud-

ties. Be particularly cautious as to food and drink, as poisons come

ml: to work from a sitting position is 0. long stride in the right direc tion. "I am quoting Dr. Ernil Haus- er. Chicago.

In "The Journal of the Ameri- can Dental Association." Dr. Edgar W. Swanson reports a symposium at Northwestern. cn "Removing Fatigue for the Dentist." in which the speakers were Dr. Emil Hauscr. nationally known orthopedist. Dr. Carroll W. Johnson . a practising dentist who has spent much time in the scientific study of opa:at- ing from a seated position. and Dr Swanson,. who is on the staff of Northwestern University Dental School. There was a. general agree- ment among these three repres- entative speakers that the practit- loner or student would be greatly benefited if a part of the work at the chair could be done from a sit- ting position. Changing of posture (sitting and standing) during the day is extremely important.

Aside from painful feet and back. and early exhaustion. stand- ing on the feet too long may also cause disturbance of blood circula- tion in the legs and abdomen and decreasing flow of blood back to the heart.
