Doctors at leading hospitals are
investigating a new treatment for
varicose veins which renders a sur-
gical operation unnecessary.
By this method curative drugs are
inj i i i i ji I inence
injected into the diseased veins, mi- | former emi . >
/ is to be undertaken on a big scale. |
Gold deposits that could not be work-
ed in the old style will yield a rich |
nute clots of blood forming at the
Points of injection. In this way a
state of artificial thrombosis is creat-
ed, the effected vein becoming liter-
ally plugged up by the formation of
blood clots.
“A number of cures in the early
stages of the disease have been ob-
tained by this injection method,” a
doctor says, “but further research is
necessary before we can advertise
it as a ‘cure.’
“A danger seems to lie in the way
the treatment is applied. The drugs
must be injected into the veins itself
otherwise ulcers are almost certain to
result.”
The treatment, which is the discov-
ery of French scientists, is not pain-
ful, and it is not necessary for the
patient to remain in bed.
During the hot weather it is wise
to eat for vitamins rather than cal-
ories. Milk, eggs, whole grain cere-
als, green vegetables and fruits are
the most important vitamin bearers.
Vitamins are more or less myster-
ious. We don’t know just what they
are, but we know we can’t live with-
out them. They were named vita-
mins because of their vital importance
to. life.
A is the growth promoting vita-
min. A lack of it will cause sore
eyes and granulated lids, which may
develop into serious eye trouble.
B is the antineuritic vitamin. A
lack of it will cause intestinal trouble,
neuritis and anaemia.
C is the antiscorbutic vitamin. Its
lack in the food makes for irritabil-
ity and weakness, and in extreme
cases results in scurvy.
D is the antirichitic vitamin. Its
lack results in poor bone and tooth
formation, rickets.
Vitamin D is very necessary for
babies and small children whose bones
and teeth are forming. It is also im-
portant for the expectant mother.
Vitamin D is found in very small
quantities in greens, egg yolks and
whole milk which is sufficient for
those who have their growth. Young
children need more of this vitanfin
than can be had from this diet. The
only other way to get it is by cod liv-
er oil and sunlight.
If the baby is irritable and cross
don’t give him a spanking. Feed him
more vitamin C. This valuable ele-
ment is found in oranges, lemons, to-
matoes, fresh raw cabbage, liver and
milk, and in smaller quantities in ap-
ples, bananas ang potatoes.
__In eating for vitamins it is a good
idea to keep a list of those contain-
ing A, B and C handy. In fruits
there are oranges, lemons, pineapples,
peaches, bananas, apples. Vegetables
are headed by the raw list of beets,
cabbage, carrots, spinach, lettuce and
tomatoes.
Cooking sometimes kills the vita-
min content entirely and at all times
lessens its value. Peas and turnips
also contain the three vitamins. Milk
has them, and liver is the only thing
in the flesh line that contains all
three.
‘When you sneeze it is not always
a sign you are taking cold. That is
the opinion of physicians working sn
public health problems in the last few
years.
Most men and women when they
feel that tickling in the nose or
throat immediately look for the near-
est door or window, convinced that
they are sitting in a draft.
However, the draft, if there is one,
may have nothing to do with the mat.
ter at all, physicians say. The un-
happy one merely has inhaled a few
million or so dust particles.
That may be irue particularly of
our cities where enough dust floats
in the atmosphere in one year to build
a cone-shaped mountain 1,500 feet
high, with a five-mile diameter.
Some statistician has figured iv out
that if all the dust that hovers above
American cities were gathered in one
place, say Manhattan Island, that dust
would be piled up on the streets
of Manhattan to the depth of 21 feet.
But one is likely to sneeze while
walking along a country road, though
not quite as likely as in the city.
Here the dust that is raised usually
comes from dirt or gravel roads
There is, however, less likelihood of
this today than ever before as high-
way officials now have at their com-
mand many methods for “binding”
the top cover, particularly the use of
such chemicals as calcium chloride,
considered by engineers the best of
dust layers.
Habit is a strange thing. And when
we study our habits one by one we
learn how inconsistent we really are.
I'll give you an example:
Suppose you were to come to my
house and wanted to wash your hands.
Suppose I took you to a soiled wash
bowl filled with dirty water and of-
fered you a soiled towel. What would
you do?
If I stood by to watch, you would
gingerly dip the ends of your fingers
in the water, scowl at the dirty towel
and take out your handkerchief to
dry your fingers. As soon as possible,
without openly insulting me, you
would take your departure, vowing
never to visit my home again.
You wouldn't eat from a soiled
plate, with a fork covered with dried
ford from previous use. Why not?

PROSPERITY AND ALASKA.
When the United States govern-
ment acquired Alaska from Russia
in 1867, Secretary of State Seward,
who engineered the deal, was the
subject of much criticism in the press.
The American people could hardly see
the use of the new purchase; Alaska
was dubbed “Seward’s ice box” by the
scoffers.
But in 1898, when gold was dis-
covered, the tune changed. Alaska
became immensely valuable, and the
wisdom of Seward’s act was made
evident.
The gold rush didn’t last, however.
In the course of time the readily
available ore was exhausted. Fair-
banks, which was a town of 20,000 ,
people during the height of the rush, |
declined to a village of 2,000. Alas- !
ka, once more, was looked upon as
an unproductive, almost
waste.
Now it appears that Fairbanks is !

Nor is this all.
of the Interior, under whose win
Alaska nestles, estimates that the
new mining operations will last for
at least 25 years. By attracting men
and money to Fairbanks and vicinity,
they will stimulate other lands rising
in value; Alaska’s soil is fertile, and
the department believes that the im-
petus which the new mining ventures
bring will have a lasting effect.
Alaska is, potentially, a rich coun-
try, even if it had not a grain of gold
dust. It has good lands,
many kinds of ore-bearing rocks, fine
fisheries, abundant water power sites.
Some day it will be a populus and
prosperous land. It may well be that
the present developments at Fair-
banks will be the beginning of the
rise of Alaska to a place in the com-
munity of States.
Game Birds Help to Kill Off Insects.
Ravages of Japanese beetle and
other insects are being held in check
by ringneck pheasants particularly in
the southeastern section of the State,
where these birds are plentiful, and
where the beetles have caused consid-
able damage, officials of the Board of
Game Commisioners said today.
When reports were first received
from farmers that ringnecks were con-
suming hundreds of these pests, sev-
eral birds were killed and their stoin-
achs examined and found to contain
many Japanese beetles, as well as
other injurious forms of insect life.
Subsequently petitions were received |
sections, !
from farmers in many
asking “that certain counties be closed
to the killing of ringnecks in order to |
insure their aid during coming years.
Today the ringneck is considered an
excellent game bird, but in former
years and particularly after the first
stocking was attempted, about 1925,
it was thought by most sportsmen
and farmers that it would tend too
much toward domestication, and that
its sluggish flight would prevent it
from ever becoming a game bird.
Reasonable protection, along with a
proper amount of shooting, have re-
sulted in the birds becoming wilder,
and today they furnish sport to thou-
sands of hunters. Like the bob-white,
turkey and other birds, the ringneck
lays a large clutch of eggs, ranging
from nine to twenty.
Although a number of complaints
have been made that ringnecks are
destroying young corn, investigations
in many cases have revealed that the
birds were merely searching for grubs
and cut-worms at the roots.
The bob-white quail, as well as the
ringneck and the new “impert” from
Czecho-Slovakia, the Hungarian part-
ridge, are invaluable as exterminators

How to Pass Auto Examination.
“Many persons who have applied
for and received learner’s permits
from the State Highway Department
develop a severe case of nerves when
presenting themselves before the ex-
aminers,” says the weekly bulletin of °
the Lancaster Automobile Club, “For

considerate and do their best to make
the applicant feel easy about the test.

| person examined has made a study of
; the Motor Code he will have no diffi- |
, culty answering these correctly. The
, examiner will then have the applicant
drive along the road, then make a
, turn in a limited space. This is the
, most dreaded part of the test for
| many, but it is not difficult if this
i method is followed: ;
“Start at the curb in first speed and
immediately swing the steering wheel
as far left as possible. When within
about five feet of the lane quickly

the wheel and pull the wheel over
hard and fast to the right and bring

i plete turn. ;

i tice this before presenting himseif for

Bulletin Asks Care When Parking
Along Roadside.
August, September and October are
the months when roadside fruit and
vegetable stands do their greatest
business, said a bulletin issued today
by the State Highway Department
which urges caution in parking.
Motorists who stop at roadside
stands should not park on the travel-
ed portion of the highway, but should
get well over on the shoulders, says
the highway department bulletin.
Caution should also be used in alight-
ing from the vehicle. Get out on che
right side, or if you must get out cn
the left, “Look before you leap.” If
it is necessary to cross the road, look
both ways before crossing.
To stand owners the department
suggests that they can help to pre-
vent accidents, as well as promote
their sales, if they will provide some
parking space entirely off the high-
way right of way. Many of the
stands are built right up to the edge
of the highway, so that customers
musk park on the roadside. On some
of the heavy traffic routes serious
congestion is caused by such parking.
If the stands are set back and park-
ing space provided, it is likely to
bring more customers and cause them
to linger longer.

DENVER TROOPS HONOR
CENTRE COUNTIAN.
Dr. Wilson P. Ard Goes with 50 Other
Officers to Train at Fort
Sam Houston. |
From the Denver, Colorado, Even-
ing News of July 27, we take the fol- !
lowing story concerning a gentleman !
in whom many Centre countians are
interested:
When 50 Denver officers of the 103d
division, Officers’ Reserve Corps, re-
port at Fort Sam Houston Sunday for
their annual two weeks’ military
training, they're going to have their
religious advisor right with them.
He is the Rev. Wilson P. Ard, pastor
of the Messiah English Lutheran
Church here, and for three years a
first lieutenant in the 328th Medical
regiment. On completion of the
course this year he will be eligible
for a captaincy.
Dr. Ard will report to the post
chaplain and take instruction from
him on a military chaplain’s duties,
as well as taking the other military
work. If the regiment requires a
chaplain for religious services, funer-
als, marriages or the like, he may be
called on by the post chaplain.
Dr. Ard had his first military ex-
perience during the World War as a
Y. M. C. A. secretary at Camp Mor-
rison, Va. He was one of eight sec-
retaries at that camp.
Dr. Ard departs for the camp to-
morrow. Chaplain Oscar Reynolds of
Fitizsimmons General Hospital will
occupy his pulpit here Sunday. Dr.
M. F. Troxell, now resident here, for-
mer president of Midland College,
Fremont, Neb., will fill it a week
from Sunday.
Sheep Growers Magazine
Penn’a. Dog Law.
Praises
“The American Sheep Breeder and
Wool-Grower” says in a feature arti-
cle on “A Dog Law That Works.”
The Pensylvania statute is charac-
terized as a law with teeth, and its
provision for 23 officers, working
night and day on the problem seems
to commend it most highly to the
sheep men.
The whole basis of the law is in the
licensing of all dogs. Terms are
carefuly defined, so that no loop-hole
for evasion may be found. The law is
clear in its statements that officers, or
even private individuals are per-
mitted to kill any dog which commits
a private nuisance, such as entering a
field where animals such as livestock
or poultry are confined, or attacks
either human beings or livestock.
The law also reacts on the individ-
ual owning the dog, and enforcement
officers are alert to watch for viola-
tions. “District agents are carefully
chosen, men of good judgment, ac-
quainted with live stock, able to han-
of long
hours,” the article states.
An excellent summary of the re-
sults of the Dog Law is made in the
following paragraph quoted from the
article: “Here is a State which takes
in money enough from its dog tax to
pay for all sheep killed at full value,
support 23 dog enforcement district
agents, and, in addition pay half the
cost of a vast livestock disease con-
trol program.”
