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
