2 Nevada City-Grass Valley Nugget, January 6, 1949
‘Gow Diccer’s Frain
Charles Scott Haley —
Next day, Tuesday, we reached Azangaro, where
"I was able to get decent food and lodging; and found
sthe place had gone sober at last. Early next morning
“we started out, and shortly before noon we had ar“vived at Pucara, in time for the Wednesday train. .
‘paid my guide his bonus, gave him the remaining
Bottle of wine, and set him on his road to Azangaro,
ahis time astride of the mule himself. Whether he
<arrived sober or drunk at Sandia, . was never to
Yearn, for I had immediately, other thoughts to occupy
‘my mind. I had just three soles’ left—about a
‘dollar and a half—and the fare to Juliaca was just
two “‘soles” and a half.
"The train was due in half an hour, so after get‘ting my stuff ready on the platform of the station,
J went to the window to buy a ticket to Juliaca. Inci«denally, before leaving Sandia, I had written LomelFimi in Cuzco, to have a sum of money mailed to me
vat Juliaca in care of Ratti, the principal storekeeper.
1 was taken aback very much, however, when
“on presenting my last three ‘“‘soles” at the ticket
“window, the station master pushed one of them back
‘at me, with the remark tha it was counterfeit, and
-worthless. As the fare to Juliaca was two soles and one
“half, that left me shy of the amount needed. The
“train was whistling from up the line, so I had to do
‘some quick thinking.
A little cantina, or grog shop lay down the line
-sabout a hundred yards, and . went down and did a
‘qmick stroke of business with the native who ran it.
¥ sold him the bad sole for a good half sole. He was
-ahead on the transaction because he knew he could
it off on some native for full value, and I was
-ahead because . had enough to get me to Juiaca, inStead of having to wait half a week for the next train
at best; and possibly not being able to get out at all,
because . would not last long on just three soles.
That afternoon, . pulled into Juliaca. I was
mot a prepossessing object. One torn shirt remained
sof my outfit, a pair of dirty overalls, and nearly a
“month’s growth of beard, as I had not been able to
~shave since leaving Cuzco, my personal supplies having
‘Jheen lost on the trip. Looking like any hobo, I walked
aver to Ratti’s store, and asked to see the proprietor.

in the cubbyhole at the back of his store where he held
In perfectly good Spanish . explained to him my
wredicament, and asked if he had a letter for me from
the Casa Lomellini, in Cuzco. He replied very shortly
@hat there was none. My letter had evidently been
Yost. in transit, which was not unusual for Peruvian
‘gmail at that time. He then turned back to his desk
as if to dismiss me.
Again . was slightly irritated, and said, “Wait a
wnoment. I’m not through with you yet.” He swung
round in surprise. “] am a client of the Casa Grace.
“What I want to know is, if you receive telegraphic
orders from them to deliver fifty pounds to me, whether
yyou will do it.”
“Certainly,” he replied. “We are always pleased
to accomodate the Casa Grace. But as far as any hobo
«claiming that he is a client of theirs, we have heard
athat before.”
“Al right,” I said. ““You will have your orders in
tthe morning.”
Immediately . went over to the telegraph office

ypromptly had them shoved back at me. ‘The money,
please,” said the clerk.
‘But I have no money.”
%. “That's too bad—because then you can send no
messages,”’ and he shoved my blanks back at me.
I walked back to the only hotel, again slightly
Grritated. Walking into the bar, I, unslung my pack
from my neck, threw it ‘over the bar, and asked the
“proprietor for the loan of a Peruvian pound He knew
its value was many times that, and handed over the
money immediately. With the equivalent of five dollars

found 6ut that quinine relieves
the condition.’ This fact has been
worked out and proved ‘by the
patient experiments of physicians.
This malady, contrary to the general belief, is mot confined to
aging patients, but it is very common amoung the youthful.
In the New England Journal of
Medicine of-November, 1945, there
is an article in which Captain
Nicholson and Faulk states that
many young.men at the air force
installation reported to the dispensary on account of distressing
night cramps. The symptoms were
the same as those described by the
elderly people, and relief was obtained in the same way,’ by the
administration of quinine.
It was found that three grains
of quinine given at bedtime produced the most spectacular and
dramatie relief. Often, in evry
severe cases, the physicians prescribed larger doses of quinine,
before getting results.
Quinine is not cumulative, for it
is readily eliminated from the
system. “fhe ‘laiety have taken it
for generations.
If you are a sufferer from night
cramps, it is worth knowing that
three grains of quinine at bedtime will give you relief. However. consult your doctor; this is
always wise.

Many of my readers are familiar with night cramps. The majority of aging patients who suffer
from them, have some _ trouble
from arthritis, sciatica, or other
pathology of the nerves or joints.
In an article entitled ‘Night
Cramps and Quinine’’ by Abraham Gootnick, M. D.,. he says:
“For a symtom so common and
distressing, night cramps have attracted surprisingly little investigative attention.’? The basis for
the effective treatment of night

COMMENT ON
SPORTS
By ED SIMS
WASHINGTON—A_ good Iesson for the nation’s youth can be
learned here in Washington. The
lesson is for the boys and girls,
and for those who are \ sports
minded and those who aren’t. It’s
about a basketball: team in the
professional basketball league—
the Washington Caps.
The Caps have long been one
of the best basketball teams in
the country. They arrived with
greatness after the Boston Celtics, and after some of the others,
but they have definitely arrived in
the last few years. But about the
Washington Caps’ greatress there
lies a!great story.
The Caps are the best in the
business today, to begin with.
They won fifteen straight over
New York, Boston and everyone
in the western. cities. They’re
walking off with pro honors this
year. But they have no league
nigh scorer, or anything like that.
The league’s high scorer is usuaaily not a Cap.
On paper a.lot of other good
basketball teams should lick the
Caps. But they don’t, even if the
Caps have to come from behind in
the last minute or two of the
game. And when the Caps meet
a low scoring quintet, they win
by five or ten points. Sometimes
they run up a larger margin, but
winning margins aren’t the main
goals of the Caps. When they
play a high scoring team, they
win by five or ten points also.
In other words if it’s defense
the other team specializes in, the
Caps play defensive. If it’s the
high scoring offensive game that
the other teams play, the Caps
cutseore them. It’s true that the
Caps’ sometimes’ reverse. their
style to gaim the temporary advantage, but usually they just
outplay their -opponents
game their opponents choose to
play.
The great story in this team
isn’t that they win, or that they
are champions of the league. The
great story is that the Caps are
a team. In. some games four or
five men get fifteen ponts, or apapproximately fifteen. The Caps
are an ideal team.
While Philadelphia or Boston,
or some of the others such as
St. Louis or Chicago may have
the highest scoring played in the
league, the Caps outscore him
when they play his team, And
while some pro basketball rosters
list more name players than the
Caps have the Caps outplay the
names when they meet them. The
