regime. If these more important habits are strongly developed, it is likely that other healthful processes will come naturally, such as deep breathing, regular elimination, exercises, etc.

Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health, and diet, addressed to him, care of the Tribune. Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply.

The doctor of the future should be able to examine the patient and determine which part, whether physical or mental needs developing, and he should be able to create a prescription of healthful practices in such an attractive manner that the patient will soon follow it of his own accord.

: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Buzzing in Ears

Question-H. K. L. writes: "I had my tonsils removed three years ago and ever since have had a buzzing in my head and ears which is worse at night when I lie down. Does this trouble come from having removed the tonsils, and what can I do to relieve it? Am fifty-six, and well otherwise."

Answer: The entrance to the ear tube leading to the ear from the throat is sometimes injured by the tonsil operation, but such injury is hard to determine. It may be that the buzzing in your head is caused by the same catarrhal condition that you had before the tonsils were removed.

Soda in Cooking

Question-Mrs. S. asks: "Is the use of soda in food harmful, as putting it into tomatoes while cooking?"

Answer-I do not believe there is any harm in killing food acids with soda, except that the fruit acids have a value in stimulating digestion and this help is lost if the soda is used.

Exercise

Question-J. H. J. writes: "Please state what the final result will be if a person who has been used to an outdoor life, such as farming, is shut off for months from the exercise that such a life gives?"

Answer-Of course, the results will be bad if a person who is used to outdoor exercise does not substitute some other kind of exercise, such as that which may be taken in a gymnasium. A half hour of vigorous handball, volley ball, or regulated calisthenics will give anyone doing sedentary work all of the exercise needed to keep the muscles in good condition.
