RHEUMATISM CAUSED BY MEAT
DIET.
In these days when the packers
are conducting such a persistent cam-
paign of misinformation to induce
people to believe an exclusive meat
diet safe and wholesome, and to per-
suade the average citizen to eat
more meat when he is already eat-
ing too much, it is interesting to find
definite, scientific proof of the dam-
aging effects of a meat diet.
According to Science (Oct. 12, 1928,
p. XIII), Doctor Mihlen, the noted
Swedish archaeologist, who has been
exporing stone-age ruins in Gothland,
has found numerous skeletons and
other remains of an ancient people
who inhabited the island at least five
thosuand years ago, and who lived on
an exclusive meat diet. Summariz-
ing the interesting discoveries of Doc-
tor Mihlen, Science tells us that his
examinations “disclosed numerous ab-
normal conditions, excrescences and
deformities, showing that this pre-
historic race must have been afflicted
with rheumatism of the joints and
similar diseases. These were prob-
ably brought on to a great extent by
the meat diet, which also has been
found to cause deformations of the
jaws. It appears, too, that the
Swedes in those days must have suf-
fered very much from decayed teeth
and toothaches. Another disease
which evidently haunted ancient Vis-
by and its inhabitants was rickets,
and frequent epidemics seem to have
ravaged the population. The death
rate among children must have been
very great.”
“The present epidemic of influenza
calls for caution and care on the part
of the individual. Unfortunately, it
is not the sort of thing that lends
iself to mass-control,” said Dr. Theo-
dore B. Appel, Secretary of Health,
today.
“Those who strive to keep their
physical tone at a high point, thus
increasing their resistance to germ
onslaughts in general, will develop
an excellent armor provided that un-
necessary contact with crowds and
suffers of the disease is carefully
watched.
“A very general tendency has been
noted on the part of some to capital-
ize the present situation by offering
to the public various allegedly high-
powered and highly advertised pre-
ventives. And in this connection,
it may be said that if one is suffer-
ing from a flu complex the best thing
to do is to forget it. Expensive ar-
ticles flashily brought to the attention
of the public by way of hand bills and
other publicity media usually have as
their main object the extraction of
money from one’s pocketbook rather
than that of rendering a definite ser-
vice.
“Moreover, the perfectly legitimate
procedure of immunizing against
colds has already assumed much
prominence in the present outbreak.
However, when it is realized that a
definite time is required to develop
immunization after treatment, its
futility as a means of immediate pro-
tection in the present situation be-
comes plain.
“Which resolves the proposition for
the individual simply to this: Use
ordinary care and protection, stay
away from those having the disease,
live according to the basic living laws
which involve exercise in the fresh
air, plentv of sleep each night, rea-
sonable consumption of wholesome
food and the elimination of personal
concern.
“If you should become ill, call your
doctor immediately and follow his in-
structions implicitly. Put not your
trust in false gods.”
“The time has fortunately long
since passed when the average man
and woman, fearing the rigors of win-
ter, suddenly adopted red flannels and
chest protectors at the first appear-
ance of cold weather. Indeed the
pendulum has swung quite the other
way, and while much common sense
is thus displayed and better health re-
sults, there is always the possibility
of going to extremes,” said Dr. Theo-
dore B. Appel, Secretary of Health.
“While human adaptability to cli-
matic conditions is remarkable, it al-
so has its limitations; and these fre-
quently are overlooked until the pen-
alty for gross carelessness or disre-
gard makes itself apparent by way of
disease. We can bank on nature for a
great deal but it is an excellent plan
also to realize its limitations.
One of the matters that needs
especial attention at this season of
the year. indeed at all seasons, is pro-
tection for the feet in wet or sloppy
weather. Fortunate fashion has sens-
ibly decreed that the feminine foot
shall be shod in protective gear when
the ground is damp. Therefore, for
the majority the only risk in this
matter arises when one is literally
caught in the rain. The thin shoe
lacking the assistance of the galosh
is likely to result in wet feet. Under
such conditions the shoes and stock-
ings should he removed as soon as
possible even though decided incon-
veniences be required to accomnlish it.
Far better that than a cold, pneu-
monia, or worse.
“However, be that as it may, one of
the greatest hazards in this cornec-
tion is now run by the male of the
species. To him, ‘rubbers’ for some
illogical 1eason are more or less con-
sidered to be an indication of femin-
ism. Under the false security of
heavier soles men will therefore vali- | NEW DIVORCE CODE
iantly and foolishly splash along on
rain-soaked pavements and make
their way through slush—a notorious-
ly penetrating substance—and thus
consider their masculinity vindicated
by the noticeable lack of any kind of
additional foot protection.
“Jt is safe to say that many hun-
dreds of men will this winter bzcome
very ill and some will die for the very
simple reason that their feet got wet
and then remained wet for some time
afterward. This statement also ap-
plies to many women and children.
Therefore, be on your guard against
wet feet.”
WILSON’S REACTION
TO THE VOLSTEAD ACT.
The first semi official record of
President Wilson’s reaction to the
overriding by Congress of his veto of
the National Prohibition Act was un-
folded last week by Dr. Hugh H.
Young, of Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Dr. Young recalled the expressions
of the former President and was
moved to break a silence of more
than nine years concerning them by
the reading of a newspaper editorial,
“settling the record.”
The editorial concerned the record,
by Ray Stannard Baker, of Wilson’s
declaration of his belief in the ad-
visability of the settlement of the
liquor issue by local option in each
community. Mr. Wilson had delegat-
ed to Mr. Baker the task of writing
the story of his entry into political
life.
In a few words, Dr. Young said
the President painted as “hypocrites”
those Congressmen
override his veto, many with “cellars
stocked with liquors,” and declared
them “jumping at the whip of lob-
byists.”
The war over, it was brought out,
the President believed the prohibition
of liquor as enforced by the wartime
prohibition act to conserve grain was
unnecessary. This provision was in-
cluded in the National Prohibition
Act.
At the time President Wilson ex-
pressed himself on these questions. In
1919, he was ill and was being at-
tended by Dr. Young. When the lat-
ter called to see the President, Con-
gress was overriding his veto. As
Dr. Young was conversing with the
sick President, a messenger arrived
at the room with the report of what
the congressional body had done. The
President grew very much incensed.
“These miserable hypocrites, in
the House and Senate,” President
Wilson declared, with vehemence,
“voting to override my veto of the
bill, many with their cellars stocked
with liquors and not believing in pro-
hibition at all—jumping at the whip
of the lobbyists.
“The bill is utterly unnecessary. It
was passed during the war for the
purpose of saving grain. The need
has gone by. The country would be
better off with light wines and beers.
“I was tremendously impressed in
Europe with what General Pershing
had done to decrease drunkenness and
disease by putting the American
Army on a light wine and beer basis,
through general order No. 77. The
war is over and there is no need for
this bill.”
Electric Street Railways in 1927 Set
New Safety Record.
One passenger out of every 155,-
000,000 carried by the electric rail-
ways of the United States in 1927
was fatally injured. This remarkable
record, the best made by any common
carrier, was made public at the last
annual convention of the American
Electric Railways Association.
Accident prevention work has made
tremendous strides in the industry
during recent years. So great is in-
terest in this highly important work
that an international accident preven-
tion movement has been started, com-
ments the Pennsylvania Public Serv-
ice Information Committee.
Electric railways in this country
make no secret of the fact that they
are actuated by financial, as well as
humanitarian motives, in joining this
movement. In addition to the suf-
fering caused injured persons, the ac-
tual cost of accidents on electric rail-
ways in the United States, as dis-
closed at the Cleveland convention, is
about four per cent. of the entire
gross receipts. This is less than it
was a few years ago, but in the opin-
ion of leading electric railway men,
still too high. Some estimates dis-
close the accident cost to be as great
as the net earnings of all electric rail-
way properties.
Instruction of Blind Makes Good
Progress.
Dr. F. Park Lewis cites an amaz-
ing exhibition in the New York Insti-
tution for the Blind. Blind children
of twelve or thirteen years were
given a number of three figures at
random and were directed to multiply
this by another number of three fig- |
ures, such as 972 and 628. They did
problems like this aloud and in con-
cert without their raised point slates,
as accurately and as rapidly as one of |
the sighted observers could have done !
it with pencil and paper.
The blind must as far as possible
do all the things they have been do-
ing. Writing is more easily accom-
plished than one would imagine.
Doctor Lewis describes a practical
method.
A rubber band is passed around a
pad where the writing should begin.
Two other light bands are passed
vertically around the pad at about
half an inch from each edge of the
paper. As each line is completed the
horizontal band is slipped down an
inch. By keeping the finger on the
band an even and legible writing can
be produced with little practice.—Hy-
geia Magazine.

ures on the subject of divorce and the the modern space-saving apartment
annulment of bigamous marriages. A
few minor changes in existing laws
are provided for in order to make the
divorce code’s provisions harmonious
and clear, but the basic law would be
in no way changed.
Grounds for divorce from the bond
of matrimony as codified in the pro-
posed law are:
1. When a marriage has been here-
tofore or shall hereafter be contract-
ed and celebrated between any two
persons, it shall be lawful for the in-
nocent and injured spouse to obtain
a divorce from the bond of matri-
mony whenever it shall be judged in
the manner hereinafter provided that
the other spouse
(a) At the time of the contract,
was and still is naturally and incur-
ably impotent or incapable of pro-
creation; or
(b) Has knowingly entered into a
second marriage, in violation of the
previous vows he or she made to the
former spouse, whose marriage is
still subsisting; or
(¢) Shall have committed adultery;
and innocent spouse without a reason-
able cause, for and during the term
and space of two years; or
(e) Shall have by cruel and bar-
barous treatment endangered the life
of the injured and innocent spouse; or
(f) Shall have offered such indig-
nities to the person of the injured
and innocent spouse as to render his
or her condition intolerable and life
burdensome; or
(g) Shall have procured the mar-
riage by fraud, force, or coercion,
and which has not been subsequently
confirmed by the acts of the injured
and innocent spouse; or
(h) Shall have been convicted as
principal or as accessory, either be-
fore or after the fact, within or with-
out the Commonwealth, of the crime
of arson, burglary, embezzlement,
forgery, kidnapping, larceny, murder,
either in the first or second degree,
assault with intent to kill, voluntary
manslaughter, perjury, rape, robbery,
sodomy, buggery, treason or mispris-
on of treason and be sentenced to im-
prisonment for any term exceeding
two years by a competent court hav-
ing jurisdiction.
2. When a marriage has been here-
tofore or shall hereafter be contract-
ed and celebrated between two per-
sons within the prohibited degrees of
consanguinity or affinity according to
the tables established by law it shall
be lawful for either of said parties to
obtain a divorce from the bond of
matrimony in the manner hereinafter
provided; or
3. If any spouse, upon any false
rumor, in appearance well founded
of the death of the other, when such
other has been absent for the space
of two whole years, hath married or
shall marry again, it shall be in the
election of the party remaining un-
married, at his or her return to have
his or her own marriage dissolved by
divorce on the ground of bigamy and
the other party to remain with the
second husband or wife. Any such
action shall be instituted within six
months after such return.
Grounds for divorce from bed and
board or legal separation would be:
Upon complaint and due proof there-
of, it shall be lawful for a wife to
obtain a divorce from bed and board
whenever it shall be judged that her
husband has:
(a) Maliciously abandonded his
family; or
(b) Maliciously turned her out of
doors; or .
(c) By cruel and barbarous treat-
ment endangered her life; or
(d) Offered such indignities to her
person as to render her condition in-
tolerable or life burdensome, and to
have forced her to withdraw from his
house and family; or
(e) Committed adultery.
At the end of the codification, Fer-
tig suggested a new section at the
suggestion of the department of
i health which would enable the de-
partment to collect and compile di-
{ vorce statistics similar to those now
gathered of marriages.
Weaving Again By Hand-Loom.
Believe it or not, but right in the
middle of this age of “modern” wo-
' men, business women, feminist move-
| ments, bobbed-haired channel swim-
mers and girl air pilots, old-fashioned
hand-loom weaving, the art and solace
of the colonial American housewife,
‘has come back into fashion.
