HOW NEWSPAPERS HELP.
The newspaper starts in
When you are born;
Relates about your excellence
And tells about your sweetness.
It follows you to school,
And prints the honor roll
If your name is found there.
It tells of your graduation
And speaks of the excellence
Of your magnificent essay;
It tells of your progress
During your college career
And then dilates much about
The choice of your location.
Then it gives a nice notice
About your marriage
And praises up the blushing bride
Till her kinsfolk don’t know her.
Then, in due course of events,
It tells about the bouncing baby
That happens in your family—
Thereby beginning its life work
All over and over again.
The newspaper does all this
And it also does much more.
It tells of the progress
Made by city and county
And boosts all enterprises;
Gives free advertising
Worth thousands of dollars
To its own home town.
There are scads of things
That all good newspapers do
For which they cannot be paid.
That is why every citizen
Should do his darndest
To support the newspaper
In every possible way
And all the time.
Yessum.
I thank you.—Palatka, Fla., News.
DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE GOLFITIS.
Acute Golfitis is such a frequent dis-
ease that two physicians, Dr. Hookem
and Dr. Slicom, have conferred for the
purpose of diagnosing such cases and
offering the best possible remedy.
Patient, M. Ashie. Age, 50. Ad-
dress, Everywhere, U. S. A. . Had dis-
ease—For many years.
° HISTORY.
Golfitis originated among the shep-
herds of Scotland about 500 years ago.
Since its very origin the disease has
always appeared in an acute form. No
mild cases have been reported by re-
liable specialists, although some cases
of milder form of mental disorder
have apparently been taken for it. For
several centuries, like gout, it seems
to have been confined largely to the
nobility and wealthy classes.
ETIOLOGY.
The cause of golfitis seems to have
some connection with an excess of
leisure time. Although the disease is
unquestionably brought on in most
cases by accidental contact with per-
sons already contaminated, it has not
been proven that poor heredity pre-
disposes to Golfitis. It generally at-
tacks persons between the ages of
eight and eighty, although some cases
have been reported above and below
these ages. As regards proportion of
sexes affected, the male predominates
in the ratio of 5 to 1. The only races
so far uncontaminated are the Esqui-
maux and the Bolsheviki.
DIAGNOSIS.
The disease is characterized by its
sudden onslaught. The disorder ap-
pears in full force from the beginning
and so demoralizes the patient that no
help in fighting it can be expected
from that source. The fact that it
breaks cut immediately after expos-
ure is a great aid in diagnosis but a
great disadvantage in treating it. The
onslaught is followed by sleeplessness,
irritability and enormous increase in
appetite; later little faults of memory
appear, the patient misuses words and
becomes indifferent to the higher sen-
timents; he also loses interest in his
family and important affairs, errs in
appointments, becomes inaccurate in
handling simple problems in arithme-
tic, seldom being able to count above
five without help, and is easily anger-
ed. He suffers from rushing of blood
to the head, mild attacks of convul-
sions, and loss of the sense of time.
He has moods of exaltation and de-
pression, peculiarities and incoherence
of speech, grandiose ideas of his ath-
letic ability and melancholic delusions
about his handicap. Many show a ten-
dency to gamble and quarrel.
MORBID ANATOMY.
.The physical changes show a great
increase in the size of the chest, a pe-
culiar gleam of the eye, and a great
increase of ear and lung power and
of general vitality.
PROGNOSIS.
The disease is practically certain to
run throughout the life of the patient.
No case of complete cure is on record.
The patient will probably not live
more than 90 or 100 years but with
proper care he may remain active un-
til the last and may be a useful citi-
zen in spite of this affliction.
_ TREATMENT.
Owing to the hopelessness of these
cases the patient is usually committed
to the country club or other institu-
tion of this sort, although many re-
turn to their homes at intervals. Since
there is no hope of effecting a cure it
is best to make the patient as com-
fortable Has possible and give him
nourishing food. Be careful not to in-
terrupt him in his ravings and see that
he is not burdened with business or
professional cares.
Oldest Slate Quarry in the U. S., in
Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania possésses the - oldest
slate quarry in the United States and
some of the best deposits, the United
States bureau of mines declares in a
report received at Harrisburg of a
study of industry throughout the
country. The. statement deals large-
ly with’ the handicap of waste under
which the bureau says the industry is
laboring.
The oldest quarry is in what is
known as the Peach Bottom district at
the Pennsylvania-Maryland line, from
which, the bureau states, slate was
taken in 1734. The Peach Bottom dis-
trict extends from York and Lancas-
ter counties across the line into Har-
ford county, Md. Although slate
quarrying is carried on in Maine,
Maryland, New York, Vermont and
Virginia, as well as in Pennsylvania,
the bureau says the chief production
is in the Lehigh district of Pennsyl-
vania. Considerable slate also is pro-
duced in the Peach Bottom district.
The best if not the only good black-
board slate deposits in the world are
in what is known as the “soft vein”
region of the Lehigh and Northamp-
ton counties, an area not over 22 miles
long. The bureau explains that the
term slate includes materials differ-
ing widely in color and with a con-
siderable range in composition, and
that that suitable for blackboards
must be soft and of fine grain.
WHY NOT PLANT NUT TREES?
You are of course going to plant
some trees this spring. Then why not
plant nut trees? The more we go in-
to the subject of trees the more as-
tonishing the subject becomes. They
are certainly money makers if handled
with care. In “Trees as Good Citi-
zens” we find the statement that
$110,000,000 is invested in walnut
trees in California and that the an-
nual crop runs between ten and twelve
million dollars. The yield on almonds
out there is two million dollars. The
same sort of a story can be told about
the pecan. The yield in 1919 was
nearly thirty-two million pounds
which sold for six million dolars. Tex-
as got about half that revenue. When
it comes to roadside tree planting,
Charles Lathrop Pack, the author of
“Trees as Good Citizens,” points out
the value of the black walnut and oth-
er varieties.
In California the highway authori-
ties are planting many miles of road-
way with black walnut trees.
Stretches of road lined with magnifi-
cent trees of this species may be found
in many places in that State. One of
the finest of these borders the Lincoln
highway fifteen miles west of Sacra-
mento.
In Livingston county, Michigan,
there are numerous splendid rows of
black walnut trees from 50 to 60 years
of age which are among the beauty
spots of the State’s highway system.
One of Michigan's planters in the fall
of 1920 procured thirty bushels of se-
lected walnuts from Mt. Vernon, the
George Washington homestead in Vir-
ginia, to be planted by school children
on school grounds and at their homes
and along the state highways. Some-
thing like 2000 were planted by him in
a nursery for subsequent use in the
city parks of Saginaw.
The pessimist now gets up and says,
“who gets the nuts?” What differ-
ence does it make? The owner of the
tree will surely get a few and there is
just a chance that the pessimist will
get some of them and then go out and
plant a tree himself. Plan to plant
that nut tree now. Here is a proposi-
tion the whole town should be inter-
ested in. Why not a walnut grove or
a walnut roadway.—Ex.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
There is only one way I know of convers-
ing safely with all men; that is, not by
concealing what we say or do, but by say-
ing or doing nothing that deserves to be
concealed.-—Pope.
Millinery trade authorities agree
that this spring will be a season of
color, and the indications, where more
than one shade is used lean more
strongly to sombre effects than to
harmonizing contrasts. Reds, espe-
cially berry, and the full family
of browns, top the list of popular hues
at the moment, and give promise of
holding their position throughout the
entire season. The call for the var-
ious reds is accepted as a reaction
from a predominant season of blues,
and the favored colorings include all
the red, rose and pink shades. Lan-
vin green continues in favor, and fog
gray is a new hue that is well liked.
In the combinations, paisley and ban-
danna effects have the call.
“Everybody ought to know,” says
the family doctor, that the best thing
they can do is to eat apples just be-
fore retiring for the night. The ap-
ple is a brain food because it has more
phosphorus in easily digested shape
than any other fruit. It excites the
action of the liver promotes sound and
healthful sleep, thoroughly disinfects
the mouth, and prevents indigestion
and throat diseases.
Keeping pace with every new joke
about the little time which the modern
woman spends in her kitchen comes a
new device to enable her to spend even
less there.
The latest of these is the steam
pressure cooker, in which foods are
cooked at a very high temperature in
a fraction of the usual time. Carrots,
which ordinarily take 25 to 30 minutes
are tender in 6, and a ham which has
been using up four hours may now be
done in 50 minutes. This, according to
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
is because the tissuse of meat and the
fibrous parts of vegetables are more
quickly disintegrated at high temper-
ature.
And we are told by the very compe-
tent young woman who demonstrates
it that not only time but labor, fuel
and much money are saved. An en-
tire meal of three courses can be cook-
ed at the same time, over one burner.
No food is ever lost by scorching or
burning, as this is impossible. The
cheaper cuts of meat may be used and
deliciously prepared. Since there is no
water used on vegetables, their deli-
cate flavor is preserved and they are:
not drained off into the sink, thereby
losing much of their value, as is so
often done in open cookery.
The cooker, which comes in four
sizes, 10, 12, 17 and 25-quart, is of
heavy aluminum. The cover, which
is clamped down air ‘tight, or, rather,
steam tight, has a steam gauge and
a safety valve, which operates should
your cooker, by any chance, get above
the 15 pounds pressure needed for
cooking. The method is simplicity it-
self. Prepare your food and place in
the separate aluminum inset pans.
Put one cup of warm water in the bot-
|
|
tom of the cooker; put in the pans of ,
food; clamp down the cover and place
over the fire. As soon as your gauge
indicates 15 pounds pressure the flame
is lowered and it takes care of itself.
_ Being air tight there are no obnox-
lous cooking odors, and with the tiny
flame which keeps up all the steam
necessary there is practically no heat,
which will make it a blessing in sum-
mer. It is especially recommended
for canning by the cold pack method,
and it will keep food warm for a long
time after it is cooked. When meat is
cooked it is seared in the bottom of the
pan, no water being used. The pans
are placed one above the other and
stress is laid on the fact that there is
absolutely no blending of flavors.
Pretzels and Welsh Rarebit.—There
are all kinds of pretzels, from the ti-
ny ones that come in boxes to the so-
called “longfellows,” which are na-
tive to Philadelphia.
_ Eastern Pennsylvania is famous for
its Dretzels. Reading, Lancaster, and
Lititz all have pretzel factories, but
perhaps the last place is the best
known, and from all over the State
persons send “up Lititz” for boxes of
pretzels. Sometimes they come in
bags of one dozen each, carefully
packed in excelsior.
No party in this section of the coun-
try is complete without pretzels.
Luncheons, receptions, or evening par-
ties all serve them. If they are not
passed with sandwiches, they are
passed with ice cream.
Pretzels and cheese go well togeth-
er. A Welsh rarebit is much better if
accompanied by pretzels. An easy
way to make rarebit is to melt one ta-
blespoonful of butter in a saucepan,
or grill, and blend with this one table-
spoonful of flour. Add one-half cup
of thin cream, or top milk, and cook,
stirring until the sauce has become
thickened. Season with one-half tea-
spoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful
of mustard, a dash of cayenne, and
one-fourth teaspoonful of paprika.
Add one-half pound of fresh Ameri-
can cheese, which has been cut up in-
to small pieces, and cook until cheese
is melted. Serve on toast, and pass.
with the rarebit, pretzels, and sliced
dill pickles.
In the summer time pretzels and
lemonade often form the refreshments
in the afternoon, instead of tea and
cakes. The salty pretzels are much
less cloying than so many sweets, and
it is amazing how many one can eat.

scrubbing with strong ammonia if
afterward rinsed in clear water.
‘Equal quantities of ammonia and
turpentine will remove paint from
clothing. Saturate over and over
again till all comes off, then wash out

Ammonia cleanses hair brushes,
