Your Health,
The First Concern.
The regular use of hot water, es-
pecially in the morning, is a rather
common practice. In some instances
this may a useful temporary mea-
sure, but is not to be recommended as
a steady custom, especially if the
water be extremely hot. In fact, the
continued use of extremely hot bever-
ages may impair the condition of the
mucous membranes of
(the tube leading to the stomach.)
Ar crect posture, whether standing
or sitting, deep breathing and exer-
eises to improve the tone of the
abdominal muscles will prevent much
ill-health. We are convinced that the
mental attitude plays a large part in
poor posture. This may be due to
worry and care and disappointment,
but lack of physical vigor and pep is
in most people a complicating factor.
Good posture is one of the best physi-
cal assets. It is a substantial busi-
ness asset. It is a social and pro-
fessional asset. It costs nothing.
Many serious diseases come from
infection in mouth and tonsils and
throat and nose. Do not let decayed
roots remain in your mouth. Have
them pulled without delay. They may
cost you your life. If you have head-
aches, have your eyes examined. Eye
strain may break down your health.
Wear glasses if they are needed and
save brain and nervous system from
strain.
Train your skin to resist drafts and
changes in temperature by cool bath-
ing, and cold sponging of neck and
chest. = Have your nose and throat
examined, and obstruction or chronic
infection corrected, if you have fre-
quent colds.
For men as well as for women, the
period between forty-five and fifty
five seems to be a climacteric, a state
in existence when the individual is
tested for fitness to continue in the
race.
“Lopsided” brain work and bad
mental hygiene, i.e., too much work,
too little play, or too much play, too
little work, are important factors in
bringing on premature disease. The
brain worker needs some physical
work and mental play. The manual
laborer or mechanic needs some phys-
ical play and mental work.
Tuberculosis is practically always
acquired; one is not born with it;
neither does one inherit the “germs”
of this disease, except in rare instan-
ces. These germs must gain entrance
to the body and find a favorable soil
in which to thrive. Infection may oc-
cur in adult life, but how frequently
it is impossible to say. There has
been an exaggerated fear of contract-
ing tuberculosis by mere proximity to
a consumptive. A tuberculosis sub-
ject who uses proper care in expec-
torating and in disposing of sputum is
net a menace and there is practically
nou danger of contracting the disease
from the breath of the consumptive.
It is the sputum, either in mass or as
sprayed out when coughing, that is
the vehicle of infection.
All advertised consumption cures
should be avoided. Hypophosphites
have been shown to have practically
no value. Drugs have a limited range
of usefulness. The cure of thedisease,
like its prevention, lies chiefly in fresh
air, sunshine, good food, proper rest
and sleep, avoidance of physical or
mental exhaustion or harrassing
worry.
A simple elementary measure of |
prevention is to examine the body pe-
riodically in order to note the earliest
possible sign of tuberculosis. It is a
sad fact that the majority of cases
apply for sanatorium treatment when
far advanced in the disease. Always
take the benefit of the doubt.
So-called rheumatism, neuritis,
sciatica, neuralgia, lumbago and prac-
tically all ailments of this nature
have been found to be secondary, in a
large percentage of cases, to focul in-
fection. The chronic changes in the
heart, kidneys and blood vessels
which are very much on the increase
are the results, to a large defree, or
due to this cause.
The commonest sites for the devel-
opment of focal infection are the
roots of the teeth, tonsils, middle ear
and cavities in the skull, communica-
ting with the nasal passages. Less
frequent sites are the reproduction
organs, gall bladder, appendix, intes-
tinal tract, diseased joints, wounds of
long standing, especially those in-
‘volving bone.
The gall-bladder, appendix and in-
testinal tract are sometimes the site of
focal infection; but inmost cases of
this nature there are definite diges-
tive disorders that direct attention to
these points, and the diagnosis of such
conditions can usually be made by
summarizing the data obtained on
physical and X-ray examination, to-
geether with the history.
Needless to say any focus of infec-
tion in the body is a serious menace
to health and should be removed. This
we believe to be an additional argu-
ment in favor of a periodic health ex-
amination for it is only in this way
that the whole body is thoroughly in-
vestigated and such conditions re-
vealed.
AIR
Do not be afraid of night air.
Sleep with your windows open.
: Jeeep out in the air as much as pos-
sible.
Wear loose, light-weight clothes.
Let your skin breath.—Exercise
once a day with little or no clothing
on.
Stand erect and breathe deeply.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
| DAILY THOUGHT.
Time, the consoler, Time the rich car-
rier of all changes, dries the freshest tears
by obtruding new figures, new cestumes,
new roads, OR our eye, new voices on our
ear. As the west wind lifts up again the
heads of the wheat which were bent down
amd lodged in the sterm amd combs out
the matted and dishevelled grass as it
lay in night-locks on the ground, so we
let in Time as a drying wind into the
seed-fields of thoughts which are dark
‘and wet and low bent. Time restores to
them temper and elasticity.—Emerson.

designers are making an effort this
! season to restore the much-discussed
! normal waist line, but as for the last
‘three years, with only partial success.
The adjustment of this line to the
prevailing taste in silhouettes is a
difficult problem. The slender figure
that is now so fashionable may no
be achieved with a belt that circles
the natural line and the “easy” fit is
obviously here to stay. The long
waist, accordingly, is again prevalent
this season, but with less unanimity
than before.

{the quietly distinctive lines of the

These short jackets of fur, particu-
larly when worn over a circular
broadcloth skirt, have a chic that is
son, especially since they are spon-
sored by most of the leading Paris
designers. Unlike many of the new
jacket suits which bear some type of
sweater blouse as a waist, these fur
jackets are worn over one-piece
frocks, the broadcloth of the skirt
continuing up to complete the frock.

Mistale Thet Causes
Rift in Marital Life
That th» clinging vine type of wom-
an is more likely to lose the love of
ior husband or at least hore him to
distraction, 1s the answer given by
Anne Byrne McCall to a woman who
has written for advice to the Woman's
Iome Companion.
“It is the growing reluctance of a
husband to express his ffection in
words, caused by persistent demands
that he do so, that causes the rift,”
says the writer. “Silence in affection
is not advocated in that statement.
Every woman not only wants to ho
loved, but she wants to be told that
she is loved. Dut it is a pity for
her to force or twist the issue so
that it becomes not a question of hosw
a man may or can express his affee-
tion, but it becomes rather almost a
questior Hf how he may defend hip
sel! or preserve his independence.
“It should not he forgotten that
there are many ways cf expressing
love and that one man's silence might
express more of his affection than the
constant declarations of a different
type.
“The demand by a wife for constant
reassurance that a husband loves her,
when she knows perfectly well that
he does, is not the way to keep a
deep and Ierge and self-forgotting
love.”

Cathedral Made Dear
by Old Associations
After Canterbury cathedral had
been restored from the great fire of
1174, pious Englishmen so revered
the beauty of this stronghold of’ the
Church o! England that they came
from far and near and even those not
so religiously inclined made their
“Canterbury pilgrimages.” For 300
years this was kept up and many an
inn sprang from existence to prosper-
ity in the shadow of the sacred edi-
fice. In time some of these pilgrim-
ages became less of a religious exer-
cise than a favorite summer execur-
sion and their history is shadowed
in our word “canter” which is the
shortened form of “Canterbury gal-
lop.”
Another interesting thing assoclat-d
with this cathedral is the division of
the Bible into two chapters. Stephen
Langton, who died in 1223, was ecar-
dinal and archbishop of Canterbury
a statesman of no
mean fo.ce. This was the age of the
beginnings of organized learning and
Cardinal Langton, after distinguishing
himegelf as a teacher, gave his time a
standardized text of the Vulgate—there
being up until then almost as many
versivns as there were Bibles. It was
in this wo.k that he made the no-
vation of dividing the lengthy books
into chapters. thus making specified
passages much easier to find.—Detroit

Pussy’s Rubber Heals
There is a saying to the effect that
“Possession is nine points of the law,”
but in these days of repossession
many strange experiences are the lot
of the man whose job is to bring back
the goods. One such individual tells
the story of a case wherein he had
repeatedly made calls, but could nev-
er find the party at home. At least,
the bell ringing was always ignored.
Noticing one day that the threshold
of the front doorway was worn quite
| thin, so that one could look into the
hallway some few inches, the collec-
tor decided to leave his card, and aft-
er noisily walking down the steps re-
turned again very quietly and saw his
card being picked up.
H: said nothing and when he finally
guined admission, later in the week,
he remarked to the woman that he
had called several days earlier and
She replied
very sociably that “I knew you must
have been here because I found your
card. It was in the middle of the hall
floor where the cat must have pulled
it in and was playing with it.”
The collector looked at her very
coolly, remarking, “Yes, 1 know. I
saw his rubber heels.”

he ought to speak, people say, ‘How

If he speaks when he should be si-

impunity. So please tell all the peo-

| New Fype Warning Signals Will Help
to Protect Crossings.
The Department of Highways is
continuing the movement to protect
railroac crossings and has received
bids for fifty advance warning sig-
nals of the continuous flashing type.
The new signs are to be installed at
grade crossing approaches where vi-
sion is obstructed and the driver sud-
denly comes upon the tracks. The
bids included also fifty markers for
dangerous bridge or underpass ap-
proaches at grade separations.
Highway Department specifications
for the new signs require that they
be modeled after the standard sign in
use at present in Pennsylvania and
most other States, consisting of met-
al with a cross and the letters “R R”
imposed on the ‘target portion. The
cross on the new signs will be illum-
inated by a flashing device in continu-
ous operation, the letters equipped
with the familiar reflecting device so
that they will flash into view at night
only when the lights of the approach-
ing vehicle strike them. During day-
light only the flashing cross will be
illuminated, although the letters will
be plainly visible.
The new signs will be yellow with
black outline, emitting = an amber
flash. They will be placed well in ad-
vance of the dangerous spot. At the
actual danger point the standard rail-
road warning with red flashes will be
in operation only when a train ap-
proaches and closes the track circuit.
About 1500 grade crossings in the
State has “blind” approaches. The
railroads and the department will
share the cost of installing the signs.
The second type of marker, for ap-
proaches to grade separations such as
bridges and underpasses, will be of
the diamond-shape type, similar to
those now in use at “Thru-Stop”
highway intersections. The new
signs, however, will include a flashing
diamond over the word “slow” which
will be in continuous operation, self-
illaminated day and night.
Pennsylvania is the first State to
undertake a systematic, complete
marking of dangerous approaches to
grade crossings and grade separa-
tions. Its own specifications were de-
veloped for the advance signals.
