Your Health,
The First Concern.
It is not a good thing to permit
chronic dysper<ia to persist. Repeat-
ed and particularly daily attacks of
indigestion are bad things. They
keep the stomach tissues congested,
perhaps bordering on inflammation.
They prepare the way for ulcer of the
stomach, possibly something worse.
More than anything else, indiges-
tion is due to faulty personal habits.
When once you come to believe that
ill health is really a fault, or due to a
fault, it won’t be passed over so
kindly and sympathetically.
We are given to feeling sorry for
sick folks and, of course, it is natural
and right to take this attitude. But
we wouldn’t feel quite so sorry if we
became convinced that the given ill-
ness is due to the wilful neglect of
the victim.
Almost invariably indigestion is
due to wrong eating. Eating too
much of the right thing, or eating the
wrong thing, or eating too frequent-
ly, or not eating enough—there are
plenty of causes for indigestion. Each
cause you see relates to an improper
eating practice.
It is a common thing to rush to the
castor-oil bottle or take a big dose of
salts. The idea is that the indiges-
tion will be cured by overcoming the
constipation, the theory being that
the state of the bowels is the cause
‘of the trouble.
The difficulty about this is, that the
constipation is not the cause of indi-
gestion. On the contrary, it is the
effect. It is merely one of the symp-
toms.
When I started this article I had
intended to discuss ulcer of the stom-
ach. What I have said will apply to
that serious disturbance. You cannou
get ulcer in a perfectly healthy stom-
ach. You cannot have a perfectly
healthy stomach if it is constantly
disturbed by attacks of indigestion.
Well-nourished people who get an
abundance of fresh air, sunlight and
exercise, who sleep plenty and keep
happy will never have stomach ulcers.
They cannot be well nourished if they
have indigestion all the time, so we
get back to the necessity for right
eating habits. ,
The greatest fault of Americans is
that they eat too much. That must be
stopped if we are not to deteriorate
as a race. Temperance in eating
should be the first rule.
Find out how to “balance” a meal.
What would you think of a trans-
continental railroad which undertook
to drive a train across North America
without changing engines? If you
had plenty of time it might be done,
but I venture to say it would require
two or three weeks to make the trip.
One time I crossed from Chicago to
the Pacfic Coast and, if I remember
correctly, we changed engines twen-
ty-four times. There was a strike on
the road and the engines were in bad
condition. A few hours would put
the imperfectly repaired machine out
of business. :
There must be intervals for cooling
off, for oiling and the making of mi-
nor repairs. Without them, the engine
becomes so seriously out of order
that it cannot proceed at all.
These intervals in the use of a
machine compare with the periods of
rest and sleep required in the life of
a living machine. Without the res-
toration and repair accomplished by
these restful periods, there could be
no continued activity on the part of
the strongest of men and women.
The nervous system is a delicate
and complicated mechanism. It is
far more sensitive, more liable to get
out of order and more susceptible to
serious disturbance than any machine
made by man. It should be as well
treated, certainly, as a railroad loco-
motive.
For myself I know that I must
have sleep. I can get along without
food, but without abundant sleep my
work becomes unsatisfactory to me.
Of course I can speak for nobody
else, but for me I know I must have
plenty of sleep if I am to do my best
work.
Just how many hours of sleep you
need depends on your particular
make-up. Napoleon got along with
five hours or less, but most or us re-
quire much more. The average
grown person needs about eight
hours. Children must have more.
The sleeping room should be dark,
quiet, cool and well aired. The bed
covering should be just enough to
furnish comfort. If it is too heavy
the sleep is restless and unrefreshing.
“Change of work is rest,” is an old
saying and a true one. Make it a
point to get some recreation and a
change from your usual duties. The
tired part of your nervous system is
being rested when you are using
some other portion of it.
Sleep and rest are essential to
your happiness. You cannot be suc-
cessful in your undertakings and safe
from the invasion of disease if you
neglect them.
Infection dangers lie hidden in the
summer scratch or slight bruise, ac-
cording to the chairman of a Red
Cross first aid committee, and vaca-
tioners, especially, will take heed if
they want to avoid the consequence
attendant to septic poisoning, which
is often fatal.
There are just four things to do:
Apply a germ destroyer, apply a
piece of sterile gauze folded into a
bandage, wrap with a sterile gauze
bandage and fasten it with adhesive
plaster.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
—The pleasure of vacation days is very
largely determined by the nature of the
weather. Have you had anything like the
following:
“Roasting!” cries the turkey;
“Chili!” says the sauce;
“Freezing!” moans the ice cream;
“Mild!” calls the cheese across;
“Frosting!” the cake declares it;
“Clear!” vows the jelly bright;
“Pouring!” the coffee gurgles.
Now which do you think is right?
Crepe satin and crepe de chine
are too useful and attractive to have
their established place in the mode
disputed, but these are about the only
old favorites which appear. In fact,
it is in the materials that one sees
the greatest change in the mode.
For one thing, if black velvet be ex-
pected, the season’s supremacy lies
not with the silks or velvets but with
the woolens. Tweeds for morning
frocks, broadcloth, wool velour, cash-
mere, fur fabrics and allied materials
have come back with a rush, nearly
all informal frocks being made in
these new woolens as well as a great
number of the formal ones.
Broadcloth would naturally return
with the circular effects, for no other
material so well stands the strain
without eventual sagging. Brandt
cleverly avoids any possible bulkiness
which might result from the use of
these heavy materials by making the
foundation dress of crepe satin and
applying to it in some original way
the circular woolen overskirt and
waist sections.
Tweed is the choice par excellence
for sports and morning ensembles.
Fitted neatly with flat seaming to
avoid heaviness, it makes the plain
morning frock with slight godet
fullness at the left; it appears in
Beer’s neatly tailored suit with its
three-quarte~ length, semi-fitted jack-
et; it is omnipotent for the practical
street ensemble in which flat fur col-
lars and cuffs are worn over a sweat-
er blouse of real or simulated sweater
weave and with a tweed skirt—except
in those cases when both lining and
frock are of jersey. It is used in
most separate coats whether intend-
ed for the street or for traveling.
—Predictions have been freely
made for some time that this is 10
be a velvet season, and so it is, as
far as the limitations of velvet will
permit it to be. This lovely mater-
ial creates its own aura of luxurious
leisure, so that it is only suitable for
relatively elaborate costumes. For
these, it and the new heavy satin are
used exclusively. For afternoon
gowns of distinction, for the extrav-
agantly furred jacket suits, for the
lively new afternoon ensembles with
immense collars, cuffs and borders of
fox, for evening gowns and for even-
ing coats combined with lame, it ful-
fills its mission of elegance.
Printed velvets, be the pattern ever
so minute, are more cosmopolitan in
feeling and can be used, as they are
used for less formal frocks and for
less opulent afternoon ensembles in
which the coat and frock match.
Laces in profusion, sheer lames,
tulle, chiffon and some all-over bead-
ing done in one or two tones in bugles
or round beads, are other materials
used.
France gives unrestrained rein to
her predilection for black this sea-
son. If it were not that browns in
all tones, from blond and castor to
tete de negre, are equally in vogue,
the world would face a dreary Win-
ter. But with the help of the brown
tones, a few light clear reds, a new
plum-brown and a rich prune color,
a charming bottle green and reseda
green, perhaps the depressing dull-
Dogs of Winter days can be combat-
ed.
—It will be the wearin’ of the
green for the men this winter, ac-
cording to the French fashion dicta-
tors who say that the favorite Irish
tint is going to replace navy blue so
long considered essential in every
well-dressed man’s wardrobe.
It will be a very dark bottle-green
in most cases although grayish-green
and the almond shade are not taboo.
Dinner-jackets will continue in
midnight-blue as they have been all
summer. Only one in every twen-
ty now comes in black. The facing
is black, either in plain satin or with
a tiny stripe. A novelty is to have
the waistcoat match the facing; in
fact, it is often made of the same silk
as the tie. For full dress, the waist-
coats are in white pique, double-
breasted, buttoning with one button
covered with the same material.
The front of the short cuffs and tie
are made of the same material as the
waistcoat. Articles must match in
every detail. The ensemble idea is
just as necessary for the men as for
the women.
Jeanne Lanvin, who is now busy
making clothes for the head of the
house as well as the ladies, is show-
ing modernized McFarlanes for ev-
ening wear. The cape covers only
the armholes and does not follow
across the back as the old-fashioned
coat did. It has a raglan back and
the facings are of satin.
PREVENTS WINDOWS STICKING.
To make a sliding screen or a win-
dow sash move easily, rub a paraffin
candle along the edge which is like-
ly to bind. This is an effective lubri-
cant that lasts a long time and is
easily replenished. Dry soap may be
used in this way.
—There are all sorts of inexpensive
pasteboard cupboards on the market
now for shoes, stockings, hats and
lingerie, that come in pretty colors
and a variety of sizes. Any closet
can be made far more convenient by
the use of one or two.
—The perpendicular, slightly curv-
ed back is essential in the new and
approved type of womanly beauty, ac-
cording to Dr. Charles H. Wood, gen-
eral chairman of the National Pro-
gressive Chiropractic Association.
Modern science aided by exercise,
manual labor and correct posture has
done much to eliminate “sway back,”
he said.

FARM NOTES.
—Prepare the beds for fall bulbs
now. Some bulbs should not be set
until late next month but time will be
saved by having the beds ready at
planting time.
—When seed corn is selected in the
field it is easy to recognize diseased
plants. On the other hand, when seed
ears are selected from the husked
corn there is no way of knowing what
kind of plants produced them, and
make an effective selection.
—Look over apples grown this
year to find what insects have caused
damage so that plans for operations
to control them next year can be
made now. The fight against insect
pests can be won only through eter-
nal vigilance plus hard work.
—-Poultry specialists of the Penn-
sylvania State College who have been |
judging exhibits at county fairs re-
port that some of the best poultry
displays they have seen this year
have been where exhibits have been
limited solely to residents of the
county.
—One of the best ways to save
hard-earned money on the farm is by
protecting machinery from rust and
ruin. Proper housing as soon as
work permits will add years to the
life of the machinery. Hardware and
implement dealers can get along very
well with normal replacement sales
when farm folks take good care of
their equipment.
—Putting corn in the silo is a sure
way of getting rid of the dangerous
corn borer. The insect needs air to
live the same as other animals and
the silo cuts off the supply of oxygen.
Many of the borers also meet sudden
death from the whirling knives of the
cutter, and of course no borer could
live in the fermentation through
which the silage passes.
—While alfalfa is especially adapt-
ed to warm and semi-arid conditions,
and can survive under conditions
where nearly all other forage crops
fail, it will produce even larger crops
under humid conditions, such as those
in this State, if its soil requirements
are cared for properly. The only
climatic handicap of the eastern
grower is greater trouble with grass
and weeds, and consequently shorter
live stands.
—Attention of potato growers in
the State has been called to the im-
portance of spray nozzle adjustment
more this year than ever before. In
a Centre county field because of a
mistake in planting there was a 40-
inch space between two rows instead
of 30 inches. The end of the spray
boom hit this wide space all through
the season so that the vines did not
receive the direct force of the sprays.
As a result, blight killed the vines
which did not receive any spray ex-
gent that which drifted and settled on
them.
—Concrete fence posts will not rot
or burn. They are uniform in size
and shape and are easily set and
lined up. They are a paying invesi-
ment on the farm and an adornment
on the home grounds.
The correct location or reinforce-
ment in posts is very important. The
rods are located near each corner,
where the greatest tensile stresses oc-
cur, and from one-half to three-quar-
ters of an inch from the surface to
protect them against possible expos-
ure. Reinforcement in the center of
the post is useless. Quarter-inch
round or square steel rods have prov-
ed most satisfactory for reinforcing
line posts.
A false impression entertained by
some is that almost any kind of scrap
wire, even barbed fence wire, will
serve for reinforcement.
—Budding is successfully used to
improve apples, pears, peaches, plums,
cherries and many other fruits.
Many farmers have young trees of
one variety which they wish to change
to another, or they have a few seed-
lings which they desire to produce
fruit of named variety. Such results
may be accomplished by performing
the operation of budding at this time,
Philadelphia County Agent Charles
K. Hallowell points out. Budding
may be done at any time from July
to September, providing these two re-
quirements are met: First, the bark
of the stock must slip readily; and
second, the buds on the current sea-
sons’s twigs must be mature.
Although the operation is simple,
close attention must be paid to de-
tails. First, collect the bud sticks by
cutting vigorous shoots of the present
season from a tree of the desired va-
riety. Cut off the leaves, allowing
about half an inch of the stem to re-
main for convenience in handling. If
seedlings not over two years of age
are to be budded, the bud should be
inserted as near the surface of the
ground as possible but on older trees
the work will have to be done on the
young branches.
Buds inserted in one or two year
old wood “stick” best; on older wood
the percentage that grows is likely to
be poor. Select a smooth place on
the stock and make a vertical cut
through the bark about an inch or
slightly greater in length. Then make
a horizontal incision at the top of this
cut, thus forming a T. If necessary,
the knife edge may be used to raise
the corners of the bark, so that the
bud will slip easily into place.
Next prepare the bud by inserting
the knife about an inch below and
cutting upward to about the same dis-
tance above. A thin piece of wood is
thus removed along with the bud and
a shield of bark. Insert this in the
incision and force it well down, so
that it lies against the stock and is
entirely covered by the bark.
The next operation is lying. Raf-
fia or light cotton string may be used.
Make about three turns below the bud
and then three above, and tie. Be
sure to pull the string tight, so that
the air cannot dry out the inner sur-
face. After ten to fourteen days cut
the string on the side opposite the
bud. Next spring before growth
starts, cut off the stock slightly above
the T-shaped cut, and the bud will be
forced into growth.
