“The iron in fruits and vegetables
is better absorbed and becomes more
completely available for nutrition
than the iron of the meats.”
Dr. G. W. Wagner of Chicago
states that: ;
1. Tomatoes are the richest of all
foods in vitamins.
2. They are the richest of all veg-
etables in natural health * acids,
which keep the stomach and intes-
tines in condition.
3. They are effective blood clean-
ers. bs
4. Tomatoes are corrective for the
kidneys, helping them to wash any
poisons that cause disease.
5. They are prescribed for diabe-
tes and for Bright's disease.
The widespread use of tomato juice
has brought an appreciation of the
virtues of tomatoes to many people
who had never before particularly
cared for tomatoes as a food, and the
reports have been particularly en- |
lightening.
A survey of the field brings to at- |
tention instances of help in cases of
dyspepsia, rheumatism, eye trouble,
obesity, skin disease and ever so many
other disorders, until the list looks
like a patent medicine testimonial. It
is said that truth is stranger than
fiction, and thus we find a study of
natural foods and of remedies strang- |
er than that of any compounds
medicines.

“So much has been said and heard
on the subject of the common cold
that it has indeed become common in
more senses than one. But the sad
fact remains that thus far the very
simple rules established for individ-
ual prevention appear to have been
largely disregarded by many,” said
Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of
Health.
“Consider, for example, the ques-
tion of contact in the home. A fam-
ily of five recently had colds at the
same time. Investigation proved
that the father returned from work
one night, with a pronounced cold af-
fection. Instead of limiting his greet-
ings, as he should have done, to pleas-
ant words he kissed his entire fam-
ily and was especially active along
this line with his infant son. The in-
fant caught the father’s cold and fi-
nally died of pneumonia, but not be-
COVERLESS BEDS
| FEATURE HOUSE.
Electrically heated, silk curtained
beds set in walls, in which one sleeps
without any clothing, and garage
doors that open automatically in re-
ponse to the honking of one’s automo-
bile horn are some. of the new fea-
tures of the home which Mr. and
Mrs. Louis A. M. Phelan have just
completed on Jackson Boulevard
"Road, four miles east of Elkart, Ind.
: The home is believed to be the most
' modern in the milddlewest as far as
new conveniences are concerned. It
“overlooks the St. Joseph River from a
| high bluff. oy
When one enters the bedroom only
. a dressing table and a chiffonier be-
| trays the fact that it is a sleeping
' chamber. No beds are visible. Be-
hind stout silk curtains however are
berths in the walls.
One retires in these beds without
pajamas or nighties and there are no
blankets or sheets. The beds, or
berths, are divided into two compart-
ments— one for the body and one for
the head. A specially devised curtain
' separates the two compartments.
The compartment for the body is
heated by electric bulbs and the tem-
perature is maintained around 90 de-
grees. The compartment for the head
, has outside ventilators to admit air
for breathing and is kept at a much
lower temperature. :
| Phelan contends that the human
body breathes through the pores of
' the skin just as it does through the
lungs and that therefore the body
. should not be hampered by clothing
iin the act of sleeping.
“This method of sleeping has not
| only proved practicable and healthful,
1 but wonderful in building health,”
{ Phelan said.
The doors of the garage are equip-
{ ped with electric motors which raise
and lower them as desired. The mo-
| tors are to be controlled by an auto-
"maton on which: Phelan is now
| working. This automaton will syn-
| chronize with the horn, and when the
‘horn honks the doors will automati-
cally open.
| “But what if another car happens
| to pass with a horn of similar sound,”
Phelan was asked.
“The automaton can be tuned to re-
(spond only to certain vibrations,”
i Phelan answered.
| The living room of he Phelan home
furnishes another revelation. The
| ceiling is virtually an organ loft with

lof each gift and the giver was kept

Clear radio music comes floating
down from this ceiling. This ar-
| rangement produces indirectional
tone flow such as might be secured in
| an orchestra hall. :
{ The visitor to the Phelan home will
| discover other delightful and novel
| contraptions and gimcracks ranging
from an interesting door bell that
' sounds the alarm without being push-
led, to an electric self-illuminating

‘GOBBLER LAW’ URGED
RATTLERS GET SCARCE
AND MAY BE PROTECTED.
Catching rattlesnakes, like every
other profession, is becoming crowd-
ed. Activity of professional hunters
already has been noted in Pike coun-
ty. This activity begins with the
first warm days of spring. Perfec-
tion of the methods used has so de-
pleted the Pike county annual crop
that some residents are considering a
petition to the Legislature to declare
a closed season with the usual regu-
lations. Taking of snakes with less
than six rattlers is considered un-
sportsmanlike.
That summarizes a special report |
made to the Department of Forests |
and Waters by District Forester R.
WwW. Stadden, of the Delaware Forest
District.
Snaring rattlesnakes is not as haz-
ardous as might first appear, Stadden
reported. The snakes spend the win-
ter in dens located among the many
rock ledges of this section. They
seem to prefer the ledges on south-
ern slopes exposed to the sun. Also
the snakes are commonly believed to
enter and leave the dens through the
same crevice. Zoological experts
take advantage of this rattlesnake
eccentricity and spend considerable
time in early spring, locating these
holes, before the snakes emerge.
When the entrance is found, a short
piece of three-inch pipe is driven into
the opening and the adjacent crevices
are blocked with loose rocks and dirt.
A large burlap bag is then fastened
to the end of the pipe. When the
snakes emerge from the den they
crawl through the pipe and fall into
the burlap bag where they remain un-
til colletced. It is not unusual, For-
ester Stadden reported, to capture as
| many as fifty snakes from a single
den.
WEDDING GIFTS ONCE
WERE LEGAL OBLIGATION.
By a wedding custom common in
the British isles until the early part
of the Nineteenth century, the couple
sent out invitations in which pres-
ents were solicited from those who
accepted the bidding. More strange,
i hese solicited gifts were regarded
in the light of debts to be paid back
by the couple. Orn the eve of the
wedding the groom received at his
house presents of money, cheese, but-
ter and cattle from his friends, and
the bride received similar gifts at her
house from her friends. An account
in writing by the clerk of the wedding
and the presents then became debts,
which in some cases were transfer-
| rable or assignable to other persons.
"In other words these wedding gift-
debts were repayable upon demand
at any time, and upon refusal, recov-
erable at law.
It was in Scotland, however, where
ya wedding became a real business
event. At their “penny weddings” of
the last century the expense of the
marriage was defrayed not by the
couple or their friends, but by the
guests, all of whom paid something

of Cresson, Pa., who is president of |
instead of common sense.
“People must be made to realize
that when suffering from colds they
are in a highly contagious condition,
and being thus, every precaution
should be exercised by them.
“Time was when vacations were
only given consideration during the
extremely hot months. And while a
good measure of wisdom is to be
found in this custom provided one
has not ben blistered by the sun or
otherwise over-done because of ex-
treme enthusiasm, there are other
seasons for the annual sojourn that
from a health-building view-point
are just as good as is the mid-
summer one,” said Dr. Theodore B.
Appel,” Secretary of Health, today.
“Consider, for example, the late
spring.” All the world is awakening.
The roads are not crowded with
tourists and a smaller accident haz-
ard therefore exists, the hostelries
are able to accommodate the patrons,
and the cool, bright days are thor-
oughly invigorating.
“Moreover, it is the time of year |
when the body with its lowered re-
sistance due to the long winter re-
sponds to the health-giving benefits
that are so bountifully bestowed at
this season of the year. Indeed, the
body-building possibilities are per-
haps at their greatest at this time.
“It is safe to say that thousands of
‘Penusylvania’s citizens would reap
much more benefit from a sensibly
planned out-door vacation in the early
spring and summer months (as many
thousands have done in the past)
than if the same amount of time
were used in the hot mid-summer
when crowded conditions, excessive
temperature and over-enthusiasm can
quite neutralize the health benefits
that should be one of the major con-
siderations in any vacation program.
“While doubtless there are many
who by force of circumstance are un-
able to get away except in the sum-
mer, there are still countiess others
who can plan and choose the time for
their annual holiday.
“To those of the latter class the
suggestion is made to try a spring
vacation. Enjoy the health-giving
air, ride the uncrowded highways and
thus give that winter-tired body an
unusually fine opportunity to develop
the prime physical fitness that will
carry it along for the months to fol-
low.
“A vacation at any time of the
year is good. But a spring vacation
is filled with wonderful health devel-
oping , possibilities. Try one if you
are in a position to do so.”
“Sun-mindednes is becoming ex-
tremely popular these days. One has
but to peruse the advertising pages
of the magazines, if any doubt ex-
ists. The virtues of the sun are there-
in eloguently and historically set
forth,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel,
Secretary of Health.

call will be needed, if the ‘gobbler

prided themselves as much on the

SOMERSET MAN GIVES
TALK ON TURKEY RAISING.
Pennsylvania State Poultry associa-
tion, R. W. Lohr, of Somerset county,
his farm last year. He secured 1,092
day old turkeys from reliable hatch-
eries, placed them in breeder houses
in which a uniform temperature was
maintained. He said he fed the little
turkeys commercial baby chick feed
and sour milk, changing gradually in a
few weeks to growing mash and semi-
solid buttermilk, with scratch grain.
He kept the turkeys off the ground
during the first three weeks, then
gave them the run of small yards in
young clover, being careful to keep
them in buildings unless the grass
was dry. He changed yards every ten
days to two weeks in order to give
new pasture = and prevent the yards
from becoming filthy or contaminat-
ed. At the end of about ten weeks,
the turkeys were all placed together
in one yard containing about 1 1-2
acres, enclosed by a fence four feet
from time to time.
The turkeys were fattened on corn
and wheat, some weighing 25 pounds
at Thanksgiving and others 30
pounds at Christmas.

' ROADSIDE TRADE WANTS
CHICKEN AND EGGS.
Exerting an effort to satisfy more
fully the patrons of their roadside
market, the owners of a large fruit
farm in Allegheny county, have add-
ed poultrying to the farm business.
Many customers who bought fruit al-
‘so asked for chickens and eggs.
According to H. H. Kaufman, as-
sistant extension poultry specialist of
the Pennsylvania State College, who
has been giving the owners pointers
in the poultry management, 1500 lay-
ing pullets will be kept for fall and
winter egg production. White leg-
horns have been chosen. A new lay-
ing house will be built according to
Penn State recommendations and the
old laying houses will be remodeled in-
to brooder houses also built with
Penn State plans.
Five thousand chicks will be brood-
ed at one time when the changes are
completed.
TEXAS WARS ON SNAKES.
Sheep and goat ranchers of the
western section of Texas have declar-
ed relentless war on rattlesnakes,
which take a heavy annual toll of
herds grazing on the plains. In ef-
forts to control, if not to exterminate
the dangerous reptiles, the ranchers
seek out rocky caverns where the
rattlers hibernate during the cold
period and when such hiding places
are located, sticks of dynamite are in-
serted in convenient crevices and the
varmints are blown up. Any reptiles
that escape the blasts are speedily
dispatched with bullets from six-
shooters, or killed with clubs or forks
—a process easy of accomplishment
because of the torpid state of snakes
in cold seasons. Stock raisers report
that an appreciable decrease in the
rattler population has resulted from

FOOTBALL AT NIGHT
IN COMING SEASON.
Night football will be given a rath-
er thorough tryout in the mid-west in
1929.
While Notre Dame is the only large
University in this territory to go in
for the nocturnal pastime. several
smaller schools have arranged one or
two games to be played at night, un-
der the glare of powerful lights.
Notre Dame plays Drake of Iowa
at Soldier Field Chicago, November
100,000 persons and a record-break-
ing crowd for the first night in Chica-
go, is expected.
Bradley college of Peoria Ill, has
scheduled two night games. St. Am-
brose college of Davenport, Ia, will
clash with Bradley at Peoria, October
18 and St. Victor college will play the
Bradley eleven on the same field the
following week.
