Bellefonte, Pa., February 3, 1928. Your Health, The First Concern. so “There is always a certain amount of concern shown by the average family over the prospects of pneumonia, but little thought is ever given to diet. There seems to be some connection between those who resist the disease or succumb to it and those who make .a practice of eating a well-balanced food supply. Great care should al- ways be taken as the winter months come to selcet the purest and the best foods the market affords. There is no question but that milk plays an important and beneficial part in help- ing to keep the system in condition to fight the attacks of pneumonia. Likewise whole-wheat products fur- nish valuable and essential elements to the blood, the tissues and organs of the human system, and give them :a resisting power to the destruction .of germs that cannot be obtained in the diet. Whole-wheat products such as whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat doughnuts, crackers and cookies should be eaten in ever increasing amounts as the weather gets colder. The bowels should be kept free and .open to prevent the accumulation of toxic products, which have a tendency ‘to reduce the resisting power of bac- teria. Cream cheese is another valu- able product for nourishing the body and for mineral elements, which help ‘to develop a higher resisting power ‘to such a wasting disease as pneu- smonia. When one is suffering from pneu- monia a large amount of blood is required to carry the waste products -and poisons out of the blood to the lungs. Material collects in the lungs, ‘where it is thrown off by coughing and expectorating. This helps free ‘the lungs from the accumulation ‘which rapidly grows while the disease is in progress. If both lungs fill up the air is shut off and the human be- ‘ing dies from suffocation. The skin often becomes a dusky color, due to ‘the fact that the life-giving oxygen is cut off from entering the blood and ‘the blood is unable to get rid of its poison. For that reason people should “help to avoid this disease by the proper diet and by avoiding great fatigue and exhaustion. The winter months demand more sleep on the part of the person than the summer months because there should be plen- ty of rest and freedom from over- exertion. There is always a tendency for the accumulation of salt when one is suf- fering from pneumonia, probably due to the influence of the poison upon the blood cells as well as the inability of the kidneys to eliminate it. The «diet should be of course absolutely free of salt when the pneumonia pa- tient is suffering from that malady. Lemon juice and other fruit flavors may be used to make the food tasty in place of salt. The saltless diet lessens the sverity of pneumonia and ually has a tendency to shorten its «duration. During the pneumonia period it is ‘well to use as much food as possible which contains as little salt as pos- sible. Sweet butter is an excellent product to use in the place of salt butter frequently during the cold win- try months of the year. Fruits should be found frequently in the diet. ‘Plenty of water should ‘be taken into the system. In fact, it is a good time for the use of certain mineral waters to inovesse the take of the water supply by maintaining a regular daily habit of taking so many glasses of a certain type of water. Mineral water, in fact, has ‘proved to be rather beneficial in this respect because many people will maintain a habit of taking this type of water when they would not do the same with the ordinary city supply. As the winter months come on, add more milk, cream cheese, fruits, veg- -etables, butter, and all such other food products to your diet, in larger and larger quantities, thereby giving ‘the system the right sort of material ‘to keep it in a clean, healthy normal condition, that it may be prepared at any time to fight the invasion of dis- -ease germs. Despite the fact that the Christ- mas season is now past, it is still time to consider seriously the idea of giv- ing some gifts to yourself that will mean, longer, healthier and happier. life. In case you need them, become ‘a somewhat belated Santa Claus and make yourself the object of his gen- «erosity. Here are the gifts which you should ‘bestow upon yourself, if you have not ‘already done so, and which will in- dicate a common interest in your per- sonal welfare: Plenty of fresh air day and night. A two-mile walk every day. Plenty but not too much nor too little, food. Keep the alimentary system regular. ‘Stand, sit and walk erect. Shun all drugs unless your physician pre- scribes them. Reasonableness in the use of stimulants including coffee and tobacco. Avoid contact with commun- icable disease. Eight hours sleep ev- ery night. Cultivate a happy frame of mind. Make this a chronic condi- ‘tion if possible. Reasons for breathing through the nose instead of the mouth are: (1) ‘to warm the air; (2) to moisten the ‘air; (8) to remove the dust and bac- ‘teria; (4) to produce more suction in ‘the chest, which helps draw blood into ‘the lungs as well as air, thus help- ing the heart, and more easily attain- iing the second wind. BOSTON TEA PARTY'S LAST SURVIVOR. David Kennison, Member of Boston Tea Party, Passed Away at Age of 115 Years, One of the most interesting public monuments in Chicago has been erect- ed to a man who would have been buried in potter's field had not the city council intervened. 4 Three-quarters of a century ago, David Kennison, the last survivor of the Boston Tea Party, worked as a laborer in Chicago. As he approached his 115th birthday anniversary his health became so impaired that he was forced to seek charity. A few months later, when he died, he would have gone to a neglected grave had not the patriotic impulses of the city demanded something better. Instead he was buried with ceremony, and since then fate has decreed that his grave, now marked by a huge boulder, shall remain at the gateway to one of the principal parks of the city. Lincoln park has within its confines the famous bronze figure of Lin- coln, by St. Gaudens; the memorial to Eugene Field, “the children’s poet,” the serene philosophical face of Ben- jamin Franklin; and the equestrian monument of General U. S. Grant, the largest casting ever attempted in this country. It was to see these and the many other wonders that many tourists visit the park when in Chicago. “What things of interest do most people come here to see?” is a ques- tion often asked the attendants. - “Everyone who comes asks to see the Lincoln monument,” the reply, pointing in the direction of the south- ern end. “And what else?” “Those who know about it want to see that black stone to “Dave” Ken- nison. He was 115 years old when he died,” and the guide will direct to the west entrance of the park, where, beneath the big shade trees, lies the grave of David Kennsion, who died in 1852. Chicago was just emerging from its Fort Dearborn military life and village habits when David Kennison came west to make his home. It was 2 city with a population of 40,- 000 when he died; the first steam railroad had come there three years before, and while he was still a resi- dent an ordinance was passed pro- hibiting hogs from running at large in the city streets. Blazoned on the bronze beside his grave is the statement that he was “a member of the Boston Tea Party.” That single achievement takes the vis- itor back to a time when the colonists existed under British rule; when Eng- land was attempting to lay a tax on imported tea and when Samuel Adams and John Hancock were thundering that “taxation without representation is tyranny.” David Kennison was born in New Hampshire in 1736 and was living in Boston when the quarrel over tea and taxes was at its height. The first “tea ship from England after the tax had been decreed, docked in Boston harbor on Sunday, November 28. The Puritan sabbatar- ian scruples were momentarily for- gotten in the emergency and Samuel Adams invited the representatives of the adjoining towns to meet at Fan- euil Hall. Then followed many days of confer- ences between the consignees, the ship’s captain and the protesting citi- zens. Finally the colonial govern- or, a Royal appointee, took a hand and issued a proclamation forbidding “further unlawful proceedings at their utmost peril.” The town meet- ing countered with a resolution for- bidding al owners or masters of ships to bring from Great Britain or to any part of Massachusetts so long as the act imposing a duty on it re- mained unrepealed. Two or three days after this meet- ing two other ships of tea arrived. Every precaution to obstruct their landing of the cargo was made. A military watch was kept at the wharf day and night, sentinels were placed in the church belfries and postriders, with horses bridled and saddled, were kept in readiness to spread notice of alarm to adjoining towns. Such a state of excitement could not exist longer. Under the law, a ship which has docked must obtain a clearance with- in twenty days. On Friday, Decem- ber 17, the time limit would be up for the first ship. On the morning of the sixteenth, affairs reached a crisis. Another meeting was called in the Old South Meeting House. In the streets were several thousand sympathizers. This proved to be one of the most momentous days in the history of the world. Hopeful of averting trouble, the ship captain was induced to visit the governor and ask for a clearance that the cargo might be returned to Eng- land. This the executive refused. While this conference was being held between the captain and the colonial head, however, a plan was being worked out by Samuel Adams and his advisers to meet the situation. A secret meeting was held in the office of the Boston Gazette. What was de- termined there did not become public until later. Shortly before the gov- ernor’s refusal came, however, a res- olution was passed by the meeting, that the tea should not be landed. That showed the sentiment of the people. It was nightfall when the refusal was received. It met with no out- ward demonstration. The little church was dimly lighted by candles and the place had taken on a quiet and se- renity, as if some great happening were about to occur. “This meeting can do nothing more to save thie country,” declared Nam- uel Adams, after reading of the ex- ecutive edict. Those faial words were the signal fcr action. They were a laclaration of war. Cul of the sombrs stillness came a war whoop onl fifty ren in the guise of Indians hurried out of the midst and to the wharf. Among them was David Kennison destined to be thé last survivor of the band. Before nine o'clock that evening the three hundred and forty chests of tea upon the three ships had been ' ripped open and dumped into the sea. ; There was no interfercnee and not a person was harmed. Tier2 was no rioting. A reat crovyl looked on approvingly during the early frosty | evening, as the boxes were hacked open with hatchets and dumped over- board. Then all became quiet. Next morning the winds and the waves had wafted the salted tea in rows of green foam along the Dor- chester beach and Paul Revere was riding into the dawn toward New York to spread the news that Boston had thrown down the gauntlet to the King of England, The Boston Tea Party was an as- sertion of the principle that there could be no taxation without repre- sentation. The unbounded sentiment which resulted in the determination to revolt and the ultimate winning of independence. : “Often as it has been cited and de- scribed, the Boston Tea Party was an event so great that even American historians have failed to do it jus- tice.” declared John Fiske, the dis- tinguished historian, in writing about the episode. When war came David Kennison was a fighter at Lexington, Bunker Hill, and many other battles of the Revolution. The muster rolls show that he was also a soldier in the War of 1812. Kennison must have been a man of remarkable physique. After the Rev- olution he settled for a time in New York, where he met with physical injuries. A falling tree fractured his collar bone and two ribs; the acci- dental discharge of a cannon at a military review broke both of his legs, and the kick of a horse left a scar on his forehead which he carried to his grave. He was married four dif- ferent times and was the father of twenty-two children. Becoming separated from his fam- ily, Mr. Kennison journeyed to Chi- cago in 1845, where he spent the re- mainder of his life, He received a pension of eight dollars a month from the government, but was com- pelled to work at day labor to earn enough to support himself. Finally he became an object of charity. His death occurred February 24, 1852. Even in those pioneer days his pass- ing was an event of such importance as to be widely chronicled in the pa- ars, “It was fitting that such a charac- ter should receive an imposing fun- eral, declares M. M. Quaife, in Chi- cago and the Old Northwest. “On the day before his death, in response to a request presented in his behalf, that he be saved from the potters field, the city council had voted that a lot and a suitable monument be provided for him in the city cemetery. The funeral was held from the Clark Street Methodist church and several clergymen assisted in the services. At the conclusion a procession moved in two divisions from the church to the cemetery, to the accompaniment of cannon booming at one minute in- tervals. In the procession were the mayor and the councilmen, a detachment of the United States Army, the various military companies and the bands of the city marked by the usual military honors, a large proportion of the fire companies and others. Upon this spectacle and that of the interment, the population of the city gazed. The cemetery occupied a portion of the ground now included in Lincoln Park. When the use of this for burial pur- poses was abandoned, a number of years later, nearly all the bodies in- terred in it were removed. Kenni- son’s was one of the few left undis- turbed. The site of the grave had been practically forgotten for many years, when in 1905, with appropriate cere- monies, it was marked by a massive granite boulder, erected by a number of patriotic societies. Thus it has come to pass that Kennison’s burial place possesses a prominence of which the humble soldier in life can hardly have dared to dream. Veteran of our two wars against Great Britain, par- ticipant in the Boston Tea Party and the Fort Dearborn Massacre, he en- joys the unique distinction of a grave in Chicago’s most famous park, over- looking the blue waters of Lake Mich- igan. Peppermint Drops. South Bend, Ind.—Peppermint oil once so precious that dealers kept it stored in bank vaults, has built and shattered dreams of wealth in shorter time almost than any other farm crop. Two years ago a pound of it brought almost $30, buyers fought to contract all the growers had and muckfields reached a premium in Michigan and Indiana. As quickly as it rose the price de- creased. Current sales hover around $3 for a pound, and producers say it costs $2.50 a pound to grow it. This year’s crop is a subject of controversy. Buyers declare supplies are plentiful but growers insist production is in adequate. Whatever even tenor there may be is due to long-term contracts. by which far-sighted growers accept- ing a sliding scale, insured themselves of better prices than the open market brings. Observers predict an increasing de- mand for oil. In respective order of importance it is used in dentifrices, confections and chewing gum, and in the retail drug trade. Makers of den- tal cream declare the world is just beginning to brush its teeth, and candy manufacturers report steadily increasing sales. Generally the mint supply is less than the demand. There are natural restrictions on production. Growers become discouraged when weeds over- run their crop and contaminate the oil so much that it suffers discounts on the markets. Distilling is a prob- lem. Most growers have their own equipment, although custom stills are operated. Private stills do not pay on less than 20 acres of good mint. How- ever, mint production frequently is considered a subsidiary industry, and as one producer drops out another fills his place. While not always as profitable as truck crops adapted to similar land, mint is perhaps more HOW TO SOLVE A CROSS-WORD PUZZLE When the correct letters are placed in the white spaces this pugzle will spell words both vertically and horizontally.
