THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF THE
BODY.
In order to emphasize the great
importance of keeping unobstructed
and in a state of efficiency the drain-
age system of the body, Sir Arbuth-
not Lane makes the following com-
parison: “In the human body we
have a system of drainage which is
practically identical with that in our
houses. The stomach represents the
pan of the closet, the loop of bowel
immediately beyond it called the duo-
denum represents the trap beyond the
pan, the small bowel the drainage
scheme and the large bowel the cess-
pool.
“You can realize,” he says, “that
if the large bowel or cesspool filled
with its decomposing contents loaded
with foul organisms becomes over-
filled, the contents of the small in-
testine will enter it with great dif-
ficulty and will collect in it and, pull-
ing on the end of the duodenum
which corresponds to the trap of the
pan of the closet, will block it and
obstruct its effluent. As it is an
elastic tube it readily dilates and un-
der the influence of excessive strain
may tear open and ulcer. Again the
food collects in the stomach or pan
of the closet and its lining may also
crack and form an ulcer. Also the
organisms that are putrefying in the
stagnant contents of the large bowel
may readily extend with the damned-
up food material and produce poison-
ous changes in the food which is be-
ing digested there. In consequence
of this contamination of the food by
foul organisms the material carried
by the circulation into the liver is
so impregnated with organisms and
these poisonous products that the
liver is unable to destroy and convert
them so that, as in the case of an
overfull sieve, much runs over. The
blood which circulates through the
body and supplies every structure in
it, produces degenerative changes in
every tissue and these degenerations
are called diseases.”
MUNICIPAL PIGGERIES.
The appetite for pork is likely to
be seriously impaired by reading an
article by Howard F. Bronson, hous-
ing engineer of the Pennsylvania
Health Department,” says the Penn-
sylvania Medical Journal. “After
reading the article we are completely
sold on the abolition of the munici-
pal piggery.” The piggery method
ofthe disposal of garbage is likely
to prove more costly than a modern
incinerator. The conditions are said
to be usually so insanitary that it is
doubtful whether garbage-fed pork is
fit for food, as infection is so much
prevalent in these animals. In the
unconsumed portion of the garbage,
the conditions are the best possible
for the breeding of flies, which, it
should be remembered, are respons-
ible for spreading twenty-one dis-
eases.
SUGAR-SATURATED AMERICANS.
The average consumption of sugar
in the United States has risen dur-
ing the last fifty years from twenty-
five to one hundred and six pounds—
about a teacupful of sugar per day.
In calling attention to the very high
consumption of carbohydrate foods,
particularly cane sugar, in this coun-
try Dr. Seale Harris states that one
of its chief dangers is that such a
diet is deficient in the protective
foods containing vitamins, which in-
crease resistance to disease, not only
of the respiratory passages but of
the stomach and intestines, that is
appendicitis, gall-bladder disease, ul-
cers of the stomach and intestine and
colitis.
“Many sugar-saturated, vitamin-
starved Americans,” he says, “that is,
those who live largely on white flour
bread, white potatoes, white rice, lean
meats, sugar-saturated coffee, and
‘sugar-laden desserts, with candy and
soft drinks between meals, would
seem to be susceptible to ulcer and
other abdominal diseases in which in-
fection lays a part.”
All students of nutrition agree that
the great fault in the diet of the av-
erage American family is the exces-
sive use of vitamin-free carbohy-
drates.
THE COMING GENERATION.
The reason there is a generation of
children with very little resisting
power coming into the world is that
they are built upon defective, porous
foundations, says Doctor Dowd of
Buffalo, speaking of the coming gen-
eration. Of the mothers of today he
says: “Their bodies are deprived of
nutriment by underfeeding so they
will not become fat, tobacco is used,
the smoke being inhaled, resulting in
absorption of nicotine which acts
most deleteriously ‘on the nerve cells;
but above all, and probably the most
important, ‘the candle is burned at
both ends’ by turning night into day
with parties, etc......Young women
must be given to understand that ten
per cent. of all babies born of smok-
ing mothers die before the second
year; that the same thing is one of
the most important causes of high
blood pressure (the nicotine irritates
the vasmotor centers, causing con-
traction of the vessels); that depriv-
ing themselves of sufficient nourish-
ment so as to remain thin jeopard-
izes the lives of their coming chil-
dren; that rest, especially sleep, is
conducive to resisting power in the
unborn baby; and that sunshine, not
only for herself while carrying the
baby, but later in life, is of the ut-
most importance.”
MAD HILARY GETS HER MAN.
If the affair between Madelon Hi-
lary and Benoni Ferris annoyed the
gossipy guests of the Hilary-Ferris
Hotel because they could get no re-
liable information as to its progress,
its apparently stationary status an-
noyed Mad Hilary a lot more. Noni
was the best pal in the world, always
ready for anything—except lovemak-
ing and he couldn't be tempted into
that—when his duties as manager of
the new hotel absorb him, and never
failing to accord Mad the treatment
she had always (heretofore) demand-
ed. Sort of man-to-man stuff.
That man-to-man stuff was what
she demanded from other men. From
Noni she wanted something differ-
ent, something tenderer, sweeter.
In fact, Mad Hilary had just about
decided to ask Benoni Ferris to mar-
ry her. A proposal from her wouldn't
be the impertinence it might be from
other girls. She wasn’t asking Noni
to feed and clothe and support her for
life. Her father had just recently
settled a very sizable fortune on her
to marry where she chose. And Ben-
oni Ferris was her whole-souled
choice.
She was barely 17 when she began
to prefer Noni to other men. And
she had agreed, reluctantly, with her
father that she ought to wait until
she was 21 before considering serious-
ly the matter of matrimony. But the
four years of waiting had only clinch-
ed her decision that Noni was the
only man in the world for her. Why
shouldn’t she tell him so? Hadn't
her father laughingly told her to “go
get him?”
Ten o'clock of a bright August
morning. Noni wouldn't be free un-
til 11. Slowly Mad got into her
scanty blue bathing suit, and just as
slowly she waded out into the lake.
She was the only girl on the beach
who disdained a bathing cap. But
then she didn’t need one. Her bright
red hair was cropped as close as a
boy's.
Out to the third of the rafts she
swam, to the one with the highdiving
tower where she kept her daily ren-
dezvous with Noni. Scrambling slow-
ly aboard, she climbed to the highest
platform and stretched out flat on her
back to enjoy the caress of the Au-
gust sun. If she married Noni, she'd
always follow the sun she loved so
much—to the new Hilary-Ferris Ho-
tel on the western shore of Michigan
for the summer season, and south to
the Florida-Ferris Hotel to be opened
in December for the winter. And al-
ways there would be horses to ride
and boats to race and water to swim
in—and Noni! What more could a
girl ask?
If only Noni loved her! He was by
her side as much as business would
permit, but he treated her always like
a small brother who must be disci-
plined. .
Lazily waiting for Noni, she lay
there in the sun, rather proud of her
willingness to brush aside conven-
tions and do the proposing herself at
the very first opportunity. And she’d
see to it that there was an opportun-
ity very soon.
Voices. Some one was scrambling
onto the float. A -man and a girl,
Murmurous voices that seemed all a
piece of the peaceful morning. Mur-
murs no louder than the little slap-
ping of waves against the float. Mad
drowsed on, until the feminine voice
scoffed in a slightly raised tone:
“Madelon! She should have been
named Jacquelin or Hariette, so she
could call herself Jack or Harry!”
“Mad Hilary seems appropriate
enough to me,” said the man’s voice.
“She’s so maddeningly impersonal!”
“She’s mad about the men all
right,” the girl went on in an in-
tense tone. “If she likes a man, she
runs after him and calmly tells him
so—and scares the poor thing almost
to death. She’s got Noni Ferris
ready to run at a moment's notice.”
“Oh, I wouldn't say that,” protest-
ed the man. “He seems to me to do
all his running—after her.”
“It would be just like her to take
advantage of its being leap year and
propose to him,” the girl went on.
“And if she does, he’s helpless. Her
father put up the money to build
Noni’s hotels. Noni hadn't a cent.
You knew that, didn’t you? And
Noni’s wrapped up heart and soul in
his hotels.”
“Well,” continued Had’s defender,
“Noni could do a lot worse. And a
lot of us would like to be in his
shoes. She’s—”
Then the voices faded away as the
couple swam off toward the shore.
Sentence by sentence she went over
the girl's tirade—and the girl cer-
tainly had given a lot of attention to
Mad Hilary's personal affairs!
How could they say she was mad
about the men? That seemed an
awfully unkind way to put it. She
preferred the company of men, and
her friends were all men. She rath-
er gloried in her ability to meet men
on their own grounds, to make
friends of them, with never a note
of lovemaking. Mad had never had
a lover in all her 21 years, but she
always was the heart of alittle crowd
—of men. Mad about them? That
was probably the way the women
all saw it.
Why should she coyly hide her pref-
erence for men? She had nothing to
be coy about! She had already se- |
lected her mate. All she wanted from |
other men was companionship and
the most impersonal of friendship.
Why shouldn’t she tell a man that |
she liked him? They certainly seem- |
ed to like to be told. i
And how could that girl know she |
intended to propose to Noni? Mad
didn’t know it herself until a few |
minutes ago. Sheer guesswork, all |
of it, to be dismissed with the dis-|
dainful shrug reserved for most fem-
inine logic. But the girl had said
that Noni would be helpless to refuse, |
because her father had financed his
plan for a chain of hotels. That did |
put a different face on the matter.
Wouldn't she be taking an unfair ad-
vantage if she asked him outright to |
marry her? Mad rather made a fet- |
ish of fairness. Well, other means
for showing Noni her feelings could
be developed, even though Mad Hi-
lary did hate indirect methods.
FARM NOTES.
__Milk clean cows with clean, dry
hands.
— Cellars and well pits are poor
places to keep cream.
— Because of high prices of dairy
cows, many more heifer calves are
being raised than normally.
Cow testing eliminates the board-
er cows, raises the average produc-
tion of the herd and increases the
profits from dairying.
— When one buys a herd sire he
is buying heAf his milking herd of
three years hence.
— Cream should be cooled immedi-
ately after skimming. Set cream in
clean, cold water and stir to elim-
inate the animal heat.
—Cream should be delivered at the
creamery three to four times a week
or oftener. Less frequent delivery
often means second grade cream.
Cover cans of cream in transit to
protect against heat, cold, and dust.
—Growing pigs by the use of ton
litter methods prepares them for
market early. The highest prices
prevail prior to the time when the
big run of hogs strikes the markets.
Ton litters are fattened in six months
of feeding.
—At this time seedling plants can
be moved from the greenhouse to hot-
beds. The gardener should also sow
cabbage, lettuce, caulifiower, and
other cool vegetables in hotbeds and
start tomato, pepper, and egg plants
in the greenhouse.
— This is the month when hardy
trees, shrubs, vines, and herbaceous
perennials are planted. Such work
can be done before the spring rush
begins on the farm.
— Oil sprays are best applied to
peach and apple trees during the
dormant period. Peaches should not
be treated with spraying oils after
the buds have started to break, but
apple tres may be sprayed as late as
when the buds are showing green.
__Disastrous results in the way of
heavy losses of chicks are likely to
follow when one overestimates
brooder house capacity. It is a safe
rule to allow a square foot of floor
space to every three chicks. In fact,
giving the chicks more room than
this would be advantageous, especial-
ly in early season when chicks must
be closely confined to the house.
—Now is a good time to plan fora
suitable pen and yard for the herd
bull. Bulls need exercise as well as
good feed and care. No plan is as
generally satisfactory as a large ex-
ercise yard connected with a suitable
pen and the bull allowed to go in and
out freely at all seasons of the year.
—Poor housing of farm hens dur-
ing the wintér plays a big part in
keeping the production of the aver-
age Illinois hen down to about 50
eggs a year. It takes contented hens
to keep the winter egg basket full
and poultrymen who do not insure
the contentment of their fowls are
apt to get high egg production only
during the natural laying season in
the spring. It will be profitable for
chicken raisers to spend money in re-
pairing the old hen house.
—Making a dry mash palatable so
that the laying flock will eat it in
sufficient quantities is one of the prob-
lems of the farm flock keeper. That
is one of the virtues of commercially
mixed mashes. The manufacture has
put various ingredients together that
will not only produce eggs but that
tastes good to the hens even thougi
they are receiving a liberal grain ra-
tion. Putting in plenty of ground yel-
low corn and not overdoing the
ground oats and bran portions helps
make the mash more popular with
the hens.
Corn gluten feed when added to
the mash makes it more palatable. In
a recent bulletin of the Illinois experi-
ment station, they also call attention
to the fact that corn gluten feed in-
creases palatability of mash.
— Cod liver oil is an important item
in winter rations for poultry because
it helps to maintain egg production,
prevents lameness, and helps them to
lay strong-shelled eggs. It contains
vitamines A and D which promote
growth and maintain vitality and dis-
ease resistance, says the State Col-
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, N.Y.
Cod liver oil is esesntial to hens
that are closely housed during win-
ter. Vitamine D in the oil is a sub-
stitute for direct sunlight, according
to poultrymen at the college, who say
its use, therefore, is most desirable
during winter and early spring when
direct sunshine cannot be used or
when little is available.
This oil, which is the richest known
source of these vitamines, is usually
fed for its vitamine D; although vita-
mine A is present in the oil, it is not
so important as vitamine D because
yellow corn and leafy green feeds
contain enough of vitamine A to meet
the ordinary requirements of poultry.
Poultrymen may use the cheaper
grades of cod liver oil because they
are less essential vitamines in the
same quantity as in the other grades.
In feeding cod liver oil during winter
and early spring, add 1 per cent of oil
to the dry mash portion of the poultry
ration. Roughly, this is slightly more
than one pint of cod liver oil to 100
pounds of mash. This quantity of oil
in the mash will provide approximate-
ly one-half of 1 per cent. of oil in the
whole ration of grain and mash.
—Little pigs may be vaccinated
against scours, if a veterinarian can
be employed.
—Sheep should be protected from
cold rains and cold-hearted dogs.
They are both dangerous.
