HAVE YOU THE MEDICINE
HABIT?
A State health bulletin has been
issued in which some timely and
wholecome advice is given on the
general topics of “spring fever” and
“spring tonics.” Like many other
ills with which people imagine them-
selves afflicted, the so-called spring
fever is mostly but a mental delusion.
‘The least feeling of lassitude or bod-
ily weariness at this season of the
years causes the chronic complainers
to think that they are afflicted, and
they make a grand rush to the drug
stores for patent nostrums, or to a
physician for their favorite “spring
‘tonic.”
Some people are never satisfied un-
less they are sick and in need of a
doctor. They simply enjoy bad health.
They are chronic invalids and are per-
haps the medical men’s main support.
They delight in boring other people
by telling them of their ills and ail-
ments. They make themselves pet-
tish and disagreeable to their family
and associates by always and ever-
lastingly pitying themselves. Per-
haps many of the spring fever pa-
tients belong in this class of morbid
beings.
Mbst people swill down too much
medicine for their own good. Fewer
folks suffer and die for need of medi-
cine than there are of those who suf-
fer from the excessive use of it.
There are more medicine fiends in
every community than there are
whiskey sots or naracotic dope ad-
dicts. Nature is kept so busy over-
coming and throwing off the ill effects
of the drugs they take into their sys-
tems in the form of medicines that it
has no time to heal and regulate the
physical ills or irregularities they
may have. :
et exercise in the outdoor air
is recommended as one of the best
cures for that tired, lazy feeling,
sometimes misnamed “spring fever.
Long walks daily at this season pro-
vide one of the most effective methods
of putting you in proper physical
trim. A walk of several miles daily
is the best tonic anyone can take.
Those who practice it regularly will
need nothing else to stimulate their
physical activity, and banish all
symptoms of that sluggish, tired, run-
down, feeling. Gli
The question of diet is also to be
as seriously considered as that of ex-
ercise. Many people feel dull and
lack ambition, not only in springtime
but at other seasons as well, because
they habitually eat too much. Meat
eaten in excess, is bad for the health
at any time, and particularly so dur-
ing warm weather. The markets are
filled with fruits and vegetables at
reasonable prices, so that there is no
excuse for over-indulgence in meat.
Besides, vegetables contain many of
the reconstructive elements which are
most needed in Jleintaiing a proper
hysiological balance. ;
> One of the best prescriptions that
could be given, not only for spring
fever but for most other ailments,
would be something after this form:
Exercise, and plenty of it, in the fresh
air; restriction in the use of meats:
abstinence from alcoholic drinks and
patent medicines; the consumption of
more fruits and vegetables; eight
hours of sleep each night, and plenty
of work and a good dash of play.
This is nature’s own program for
vim, vigor and vitality. It is merely
common sense applied to the gentle
art of living. Follow this prescrip-
tion and medicine will not be required.
If people generally took it, most drug
stores would be turned into groceries
and markets, and a majority of the
medical schools would close and go out
of business.—Exchange.
Fluid Milk Price Advanced 42 Cents.
An increase of 42 cents per 100
pounds on fluid or Class One 3.5 milk
effective August 15 is announced by
the Dairyman’s League Co-Operative
Association, Inc. The advance ap-
plies to all Class 1 milk sold by the
‘League in the New York Milk Shed,
although no changes are made in the
price of other classes of milk at this
‘time. :
The increase was explained as be-
ing due to higher production costs
and the necessity of stimulating dairy
farmers to greater efforts to increase
autumn and winter milk production.
Rising feed costs, with the corn crop
the shortest in years, high cost of
farm labor and increased prices on
every thing the farmer buys were giv-
en as factors in the price advance.
Stimultaneous with announcing the
price increase the Dairymen’s League
.appealed to its members to make
every effort to increase the milk pro-
duction fall and winter months to
meetin full the requirements of the
New York city market. Proper feed-
‘ing methods and care of cattle, say
League officials, will do much to raise
the milk production. . It was pointed
out that when protest was filed with
New York city officials last spring
against a proposal to widen the New
York milk shed, assurance was given
that this territory could supply the
market needs. Responsibility to make
good on that pledge now rests entire-
ly with the dairy farmers of the terri-
tory, say League officials.
Sesqui Building Brought Low Prices.
Buildings that cost more than $500,-
000 when erected for the Sesqui-Cen-
tennial were sold at auction in Phila-
delphia for approximately $26,000.
The huge $500,000 auditorium that
was the scene of many conventions
went under the hammer for $4,800.
The palace of education was another
costly building to be disposed of, go-
ing at $10,750. These structures were
among 81 buildings sold. The famous
Alpine Haus, where Mayor Kendrick
was host to notables during the ex-
position, brought $1,800. No one
seemed to want the block house re-
production of Fort Pitt, but it was
knocked down finally for $10.

Clear Highways of Snipe Signs.
The whole-hearted co-operation
promised by state highway officials, by
large advertisers and by various civic
bodies gives splendid promise that the
campaign of the American Automo-
bile association, to clear the highways
of dangerous “snipe” signs and of un-
sightly debris, will result in construc-
tive and fruitful action throughout the
country.
In the vanguard of the organiza-
tions that pledged their support of the
A. A. A. stand against advertisements
imitating warning and direction signs
and against unsightly advertising on
the roadsside, is the Outdoor Adver-
tising Association of America.
This organization, acording to a
letter from its president, H. F. O’Mea-
lia, has instructed its members
throughout the country to co-opearte
with the highway departments of the
various States and with the bureau of
public roads for the elimination of
such structures everywhere as may in-
terfere with standard road markers
and warning signs. In his letter on
the subject to Thomas P. Henry, pres-
ident of the A. A. A., Mr. O’Mealia
has this to say:
“Thera is no doubt that the small
“snipe” signs and “daubs” along the
roadsides ar~ both dangerous to traf-
fic and detrimental to the scenery.
For this reason, our standards of
practice prohibit our members from
erecting such structures. The organ-
ized outdoor advertising industry has
long been opposed to this tvpe of ad-
vertising—not with a view to elimin-
ating competition, but to elevate the
standard of all outdoor advertising.”
Up to date, 11 state highway asso-
ciations have made favorable respons-
es to the appeal of the A. A. A.
These are: Illinois, Nebraska, New
York, North Dakota, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Virginia and Washington.
which these state officials are con-
fronted, according to their letters, is
the difficulty of controlling “snipe”
advertising signs put up on private
property. This also applies to the un-
sightly nuisance of “hot dog” stands.
They express hope, however, that the
civic interest aroused in the matter,
coupled with possible legislation af-
fecting permits for such stands, will
accomplish much, although it will be
some time before the standard of prac-
tice on private property can be
brought into accord with the standard
established where the States control
the right-of-way.
The A. A. A. national headquarters
is now making an analysis of various
suggestions and proposals put forward
by various organizations and it is ex-
pected that when the State Legis-
tures convene this year a definite
program will be launched with the
view of strengthening the powers of
the highway departments along the
main highways of the country.
Properly Focusing Headlights.
Simple directions for keeping head-
lights in proper focus are given by the
Keystone Automobile Club, which
urges upon all motorists the neces-
sity for co-operation in eliminating
the deadly menace to night driving
caused by glaring lights.
“There is,” says a statement by the
Club, “no reason why every motor
car owner or driver should not be able
to adjust his own headlamps. There
is nothing mysterious or difficult
about it, although the average car
driver appears to know less about
lamp focusing than he does about any
other vital part of the automobile’s
mechanism.
The following directions, formulat-
ed by Captain Anthony Landers, of
the Club’s Road Patrol, are non-tech-
nical and easily understood even by
motorists who are not mechanically
inclined:
First, stop the car on a level road-
way and measure the distance from
the center of the headlights to the
ground.
Second, measure twenty-five feet
from the front of the car and place
there some object for the light to
strike. (The beams may be trained
on a garage, another car or a person.
The important thing is to have the
distance exactly twenty-five feat ).
Third, observe carefully where the
beams strike. If the highest beam is
projected at a height greater than
the distance of the headlight center
from the ground, the lights are out
of focus. In other words, if the cen-
ter of the headlights is 2% feet from
the highway, the highest main beam
of the projected light should not be
more than 23% feet high at a distance
of twenty-five feet.
Fourth, turn the focusing «crew at
the rear 5 the lamp until the rays
arc krough* down to proper level. If
turning of the screws does not result
in proper focus, the trouble is in the
lamp brackets. Loosen the nut hold-
ing the bracket and adjust lamp it-
self until the proper angle is attained.
Then make final adjustment with fo-
cusing screw.
In many cases it will be found that
the. brackets are in need of adjust-
ment, due to vibralion and running
over rough roads. The important
thing to remember is that the main
beam of light should not project high-
er at twenty-five feet from the car
than the distance between the center
of the lamp and the roadway.
It should also be remembered that
lights will not stay in focus indefinite-
ly. Frequent inspection should be
made to determine whether further
adjustments are necessary.”
Hetzel and State College.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
This writer read with delighted in-
terest the other day that Dr. Hetzel,
the new head of State College, on as-
suming charge had swept into discard
a bulky bunch of documents when told
that the contents thereof related to
the “policy” of the institution. He
let it be understood that he proposed
to work out his own program. Dr.
Hetzel is no copy-cat. He has ideas
of his own and should be given a free
hand. Governor Fisher and the Leg-
islature have provided necessary
funds.

One of the main difficulties with
Moving Picture Idea Ascribed to
Chinese.
Edison himself has said that most
of his inventions are the development
of the idea of some one who has pre-
ceded him, and now some one comes
forth with the statement that the real
origin of the moving picture dates
back to China 7,000 years ago. The
Chinese, in 5000 B. C., had their
equivalent of our “pictures” in their
“shadow shows.” They made figures
of wax, equuisitely modeled and
dressed, a few inches in height and
flung the shadows from these on buf-
falo skin rendered transparent. Mov-
ing pictures thrown on a screen.
A set can be seen in the Science
museum, South Kensington, England.
It forms part of an interesting collec-
tion of “cinema relics” gathered to-
gether by W. Day and loaned by him
to the museum. These relics tell the
bale in full motion-picture develop-
ment.

Physical and Mental Requisities for
Flying.
The exploits of Lindbergh and
Chamberlin have attracted attention
anew to the physical and mental fac-
tors concerned in aviation, says Hy-
geia Magazine, commenting editor-
ially on their flight.
Continuous flying for from 40 to
50 hours makes a tremendous de-
mand on the constitution, since it
involves sleeplessness, relative star-
vation and constant concentration.
In addition to these factors is the |
question of altitude and the ability
of the body to meet the demands of
the unusual environment.
Undoubtedly, a physical examina- |
tion of a man who has just completed |
the terrific stress of a transoceanic |
fight would show much the same |
physical changes that occur in mara- |
thon runners or in workers who are !
compelled to maintain concentration |
for long periods of time. |

HE kidneysare the blood filters.
If they fail to function properly
there is apt to be a retention of toxic
poisons in the blood. A dull, languid
feeling and, sometimes, toxic back-
aches, headaches, and dizziness are
symptoms of this condition. Further
evidence of improper kidney func
tion is often found in burning or
scanty passage of secretions. Each
year more and more people are learn-
ing the value of Doan’s Pills, a
stimulant diuretic, in this condition.
