o.-e ek Bellefonte, Pa., October 19, 1928. SmmmE—— Your Health, The First Concern. Apart from tuberculosis and the acute diseases such as typhoid fever and pneumonia, disease and the gra- dual breaking down of the body— which we call aging-——is taken, even by scientific men, too much as a mat- ter of course. The gradual changes in the human body that express them- selves finally in old age and sudden death are generally blamed to the in- fluence of time. The duration of hu- man life, however, is not governed by time but by what happens in the course of time. Death rates are not fixed. During the past 400 years thirty-seven years have been added to the average lifetime. In Geneva in the 16th Century the expectation of life before an infant born was twenty-one years. In the 18th Century in Geneva it had in- creased to thirty-four years. In Mas- sachusetts in 1789 it was thirty-five years. In the United States Regis- tration States in 1900 it was forty- nine years and in 1922 it was fifty- eight years. Scientific men hope that the expectation of life in 1930 will be sixty-five years. Most of this gain, however, has been made in the death rate under the age of forty-five. If growing old is not a function of time, to what must we ascribe it? The answer is simple—to well known definite physical causes, namely hered- ity, infection, poison, disuse or over- use or abuse of the body mechanism, and accident. What is the most ra- tional method of meeting and over- coming these factors that lead to physical bankruptcy? Surely the common- sense method is to search our bodies and lives for evidence of these menacing factors and bring to our aid the resources of science in eliminating them. This is no aca- demic theory, but is an established scientific truth. Large groups of indi- viduals who have followed this sys- tem and taken the examinations of the Life Extension Institute have shown a reduction in the death rate between the ages of fifty to sixty oi 53%; in the younger age periods from 18% to 25%. The Life Extension Institute has examined over 600,000 people and has developed a highly standardized method of doing this work, not only in the conduct of the examinations, but in the interpretation of the findings and the counsel that is based upon them. It must be apparent to any thinking person that a physical ex- . amination by itself is of comparatively little value. There must be proper interpretation of the findings and sound counsel and guidance based upon them. The Institute does not prescribe treatment, does not make diagnosis, but endeavors to elicit full informa- tion regarding the physical state of an individual and his methods of liv- ing. On this information counsel is based as to neded correction in hy- giene and the type of medical treat- ment that should be sought. The In- stitute has no relationship with treat- ing agencies or physicians. An abso- lute neutrality is observed in such matters so that the public may be as- sured of a thoroughly unbiased, criti- cal examination and straightforward counsel as to the proper course to follow. Your membership in the Life Ex- tension Institute places at your ser- vice the interest and advice of a re- sponsible, scientific organization, the sole purpose of which is to help you guard against physical impairments and help you to build up and maintain a healthy and efficient body. The experience and resources hygienic science are made available to you in their most usable form to assist you in strengthening: your power of resistance against fatighe and disease, to increase your capacity of for efficient work, and to prolong the | most active, useful years of your life. . Upon joining the Institute you first fill out a standard form, giving your daily living habits, personal and fam- ily history, and any other information as to your physical condition and health prob- lems which you care to submit for consideration in connection with your physical examination. = The standard iersonal history - blank of - the Insti- tute has been carefully planned to elicit the information essential for in- arpreting your condition of health in connection with the médical” examin- r’s and laboratory reports in your case. Everything in eonnection- with the Institute’s service is entirely confi- dential between the Institute and the individual examined. ar As a member of the Institute you will receive a careful physical ex- amination covering the eyes, nose, ears, throat, mouth, teeth, lungs, heart, circulation, skin, glands, stom- =h, liver, abdominal organs and.gen- oral bodily conditions. This examind- tion can be made either at the office of the Institute in New York, Boston or Chicago or at the office of our medical examiner in your home town or city. ; . The Institute has a list of over nine thousand examining physicans " roughout the United States and “anada. All of these physicians have *‘en selected and instructed regard- ing the standards and methods to be observed. At its Home Office in New York City the Institute has a staff of “fty men and women examining and rcviewing physicians. After you have received your ex- omination, all the reports assembled in your case, including your own per- sonal history statement, will be re- activities, past illnesses, |d viewed by physicians at the Home Office in New York and you will later receive detailed ‘comprehensive re- ports covering all the findings. These reports will place before you a list of any defects or disabilities either in living, the correction of which may Five-Day Work Week Making Head- way in the Middle West. Beneficial results of the five-day work week now being enjoyed by ful- ly 185,000 workers in the Detroit ter- ritory, according to officials of em- ployers’ organizations, are shown by developments pointing to educational and recreational advantages made available by the longer leisure per- iod thus afforded. Outstanding among these develop- ments is the greatly rollment of factory workers in the training school of the Ford Motor Company whose plants employ more than 120,000 men on the five-day basis. Courses in practical shop mathematics and mechanical drawing are proving of particular interest te tool and die workers, draftsmen and machinists generally, and an increas- ing number are enrolling in courses in electricity and chemistry, it is an- nounced by instructors in charge of the Ford school. That workers benefiting from long- er week-ends also have given increas- ed attention to opportunities for rec- reation for themselves and families during the summer months is appar- ently attested by figures compiled by Michigan organizations for the de- velopment of tourist trade in the northern part of this State. These show that approximately 78 per cent. of the tourists in the territory are residents of Michigan. est in home building and mainte- nance and gardening which has been very much in evidence in the Detroit metropolitan retailers in paint, building, gardening equipment.

The State law requires the inspec- tion of all woody nursery stock offer- ed for sale in Pennsylvania. This service is given free of charge to all persons selling nursery stock and as- sures the purchaser healthy plants. The Pennsylvania nurseries are in- spected one to three times each year than the stock shipped into the Com- monwealth. Not only must all nurserymen have a license but all dealers in nursery stock, as well as agents canvassing for nurserymen, must be licensed. Anyone contemplating purchasing nursery stock should ascertain the status of the grower, dealer or agent before placing an order, attache said. All agents are required to carry a card certificate. dat Prison Industries Help to Train Men. Despite the difficulties in the mar- keting of prisen made goods the in- dustries conducted at the State peni- tentiaries and the Huntingdon Re- formatory are a vital part of prison administration, Harry E. Andrews, who supervises the work in the de- partment of welfare today asserted. The primary aim of all such work, Andrews said, is to train the inmates in trades or occupation which will assist them in becoming useful mem- bers of society when they are releas- ed. At the same time it prevents the demoralization which would follow complete idleness. Products from the prison industries include’ license tags for automobiles, hunters and’ dogs, road signs and boundary markers, brushes, textiles, blankets, hosiery, underwear, shoes, furniture and printing. + Making of the automobile license tags at the western penitentiary is the largest single industry. They are produced at the rate of 8,000 sets each ay. At the Rockview Penitentiary a 200 acre truck farm is operated and the products packed in a modern and com- pletely equipped cannery. Approxi- mately 100,000 gallans of vegetables arc canncd each year. A forest tree nursery in which are grown several million seedlings also is operated there. ; Bare Legs of Girls Win Over Proprie- + ties on Ground of Health. Vienna Aus.—Bare legs of young girls won’ a victory against the pro- prieties of ‘old-fashioned ' professors, when the Superintendent of Viennese schools decided that. “while it cannot be proved. that bare legs are immor- al, it cannot be disproved that this fashion is a most healthy one.” . The> brre legs. fashion which came into vogue this summer; reached its climax ‘during the last hot days of the season, which were at the same time the first school days of the com- ing season. ey Many high school girls, appearing in school without their stockings met with severe disapproval of their pro- fessors especially of the women pro- fessors. The matter came before the super- intendent who decided in favor of bare legs. The judgment was re- received with much satisfaction by the Viennese youth, but it has also caused severe. affiction agnong “‘hos- iery manufacturers. ~*~ —Get your job work done here. i OIL PRODUCTION AND AEROPLANE NEEDS.

Efforts at obtaining semi-official information on the importance of aviation has resulted in the knowi- edge that the agencies which gen- erally keep up on industries, it is from what scattered reports which he has received from authentic sources that Mapes concludes that there is such a lrage amount of misinforma- tion concerning the status of the in- dustry. Many refiners have come to the conclusion that aviation will develop into a great rival of the automobile in gasoline consumption. This may he in the future and the refiners are pav- ing the way for it through extensive advertising which does not pay now because the aviation industry is such Another result attributed to the five-day week is the increased inter- lumber, gardens has been specially notable : small |! a modest consumer of motor fuels.

What Are Vermin? Just what is meant by the term “vermin” is usually a matter of con- siderable doubt in most peoples’ minds. According to Forest and Stream Maga- zine the word applies to any wild «ni- mal that preys on other game. Ver- min, it ‘ays, may be undesirable in some parts of the country and bene- ficial in others. In Connecticut, for instance, the following animals and birds are vermin to the autlorities: Cooper hawks, sharp-skinned lLawks, goxhawks, great horned owls. barred owls, starlings, crows, red squirrels, louse cats, bobcats, lynx, weasels, foxes, mink, European hares, raccoon, and skunk. The Professcr’s Precaution The rather absent-minded professor had called on a friend, and on leaving was horrified to discover that his car had disappeared. A policeman Mstened to his tale of woe and made copious notes in a little black book. “Did you take any precautions against the car being stolen?” he asked presently. ; “Well,” returned the scholarly cne, “l padlocked the wheel.” “Ah.” said the officer, “but which wheel?” : Light dawned on the professor. “My stars!” he gasped. “It was the spare wheel !” A Danish Relic Place names in New York are so gredominantly Dutch and English, af- ter the nationalities of the city’s early overlords, that the contributions of folk of other countries are seldem brought to mind. Yet one of the city’s biggest areas bears a name acquired pot from the Dutch nor from the Eng lish, but from a Danish pioneer. .He was Jonas Dronck, who settled on the mainland north of Manhattan island with a party of settlers from Denmark in 1639, and his colony, known first as Bronck’s land, is now the Borough of the Bronx, True Pessimist! “The real pessimist is he who thinks everything is as good as it can be.” says a prominent man of science. It is interesting to make a surmise as to the mental processes which” brought the scientist to such a conclusion. Per- haps he was thinking what our cendi- tion would be today, were it not for the hopeful men .who labored.to im- prove upon the past for the benefit of all mankind. No wonder he declares that the real pessimist is rhe ‘who thinks everything is as.good as it can be.

ANDREW CURTIN THOMPSON X| 1 Round We may wake up cne of these fine mornings and find that a new farm crop—one which many of us never saw—is revolutionizing agriculture in certain sections of the Northern and Eastern States. A report of the recent meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers refers to the possibilities of the arti- choke as a factor in the agricultural scheme of things. Although the en- gineers gave little thought to the subject at the meeting, somes of them behind the scenes are getting ready for something to happen. The point is this: A practical pro- cess hasbeen developed for making sugar from the artichoke. Experi- ments indicate that high sugar con- tent of the tubers and heavy yields per acre may make this plant su- perior to the sugar beet from the standpoint of sugar production. Moreover, the tops have forage pos- sibilities, and when the public’s taste is properly cultivated the artichoka may have a place on the table, Of course, artichoke sugar will come only when bankers become suf- ficiently interested to put up the large amounts of money necessary to build factories and refineries. So there is little the individual farmer can do at present. But the future career of the artichoke promises to be interesting and well worth watch- ing. Postal Service Positions Not for Sale.

The present religions leadership on the Pacific coast now held by five ma- jor Protestant organizations, the Bap- tist, Congregational, Episcopal, Meth- odist and Presbyterian denominations, is being seriously challenged by three newer sects—Christian Science, Mor- mon and Seventh Day Adventist— according to Dr. William J. Minchin, of San Francisco, president of the Pa- cific slope Congregational congress which concluded its sessions there. Dr. Minchin pointed out that the latest census report shows a gain of 717 churches for the newer sects dur- ing the years 1916 to 1926 with in- creases of 342 for the Christian Scientists; 327 to the Mormons and 48 credited to the Seventh Day Ad- ventists. p-— — Buys Large Tract.
