Your Health,
The First Concern.
— Remember that your heart, ar-
feries and kidneys never stop work-
ing while life continues. Like the
heart, a kidney isa good kidney so
song as it can keep on working. The
kidneys act like sponges to absorb
and separate the waste products from
the blood and long before they become
seriously impaired the microscope
and the chemical re-agent can detect
signs of weakness or over-strain.
Your heart is a pump which forces
the blood through a system of elastic
tubing—the arteries. If this tubing
is over-strained it deteriorates and
frequently it bursts causing death by
apoplexy if the affected tube hap-
pens to be in the brain. Find out the
condition of your tubing. A poor
qualify of tubing can last a long time
ifi ppoper care is used. Your heart,
ayteries and kidneys are all closely
dependent upon one another and the
modern tests now used by examining
physicians will seldom fail to find a
weak spot in any of these vital or-
gans, if any such defects exist. How
footie it is to constantly postpone
and'put off an examination. Most of
the” organic diseases which cause
death at middle age and later can be
prevented or controlled if detected
and ‘attended to in time.
Jt has been estimated, on the
basis of various school surveys, that
there are more than 200,000 cases of
heart disease among the twenty mil-
lion school, children of this country.
Most of these children will survive
until middle life and contribute to the
high death-rate from heart affections
that obtains at that age period. Thus
we are impressed with the necessity
of commencing early to cut down the
high death-rate from heart disease,
which is now the greatest single
cause of death in these United States.
It is not generally appreciated how
serious a factor heart disease is in
childhood. Between the ages of ten
and fourteen, the death-rate from dis-
eases of the heart is heavier than
that from the four principal diseases
of childhood combined. Between the
age periods mentioned, tuberculosis
is the only disease that leads heart
disease in the death-rate. In these
school surveys it was brought out in
a large number of these defective
heart cases that there was a signifi-
cant history of tonsilitis, diphtheria,
rheumatism, and dental diseases and
that measles, pneumonia, whooping
eough, scarlet fever and chorea were
also frequently observed.
It is, of course, most important to
prevent these original sources of
heart trouble but in spite of all pre-
cautions a certain number of hearts
must be damaged, and it is highly
desirable that this damage be detect-
ed as early as possible and the indi-
vidual adjusted to get the best ser-
vice out of the damaged heart.
The fact that so many people sur-
vive through middle life after origi-
nal heart damage in childhood—and
many survive into old age in spite of
early injury to this important organ
—shows the importance of regarding
these heart defects not so much as
diseases but as physical defects to
which the body organism may be-
eome adjusted.
Periodic health examinations com-
mencing in early life and carried on
regularly will materially aid in meet-
ing these conditions. By such means
a damaged heart may be regularly
checked up and any progress in the
circulatory deficiency noted and nec-
essary adjustments made.
These adjustments of living habits
and activities do not always mean
any great deprivation and it is im-
portant not to lay too much restric-
tion upon heart patients but to see
that such patients have adequate ex-
ercise in order to keep up the qual-
ity of the heart muscle. On the oth-
jer hand, reckless, unrestricted exer-
‘cise may in some of these cases do
great damage.
. . The fact that such a large propor-
fion of the population sustains these
injuries in childhood shows the great
need for periodic examination of the
Supposedly healthy. When one con-
Siders the chances that may be taken
jby the people who have these heart
defects and are not aware of them,
fhe small expense of time and trouble
involved in examinations is very
cheap life insurance.
When a heart defect is found, there
is no need for the individual to be-
come panicky or depressed, for in
most cases there is a fairly wide
range of activities available and gen-
ral improvement of health that will
make life more livable and successful
for these people than before the de-
fect was ascertained. /
The important thing is to impress
SPEAK WELL OF YOUR TOWN.
Don’t sit around
town.
A town is just as good as the man
who damns it.
Every town is just what its citi-
zens want it to be.
A desire on the part of our people
for a better town is a prayer that
is always answered.
another are the results of the peo-
ple rather than natural conditions.
In any event, it was the people who
them first.
There is no reason why Cleveland
the world. There are no oil wells
better than a dozen others as far as
oil is concerned. It was simply John
D. Rockerfeller. He wanted to live
there and his personality, his indi-
viduality brought the oil to him in
pipe lines.
There is no reason why Boston
should be the shoe manufacturing
center of the world. No hides are
there—they are all shipped from the
West. Simply some man who knew
how to make shoes on a large scale
wanted to live there, and his success
started others along the same line.
Cincinnati is still the mercantile
supply point of all the territory
south of the Smith and Wesson’s line.
Years ago, at the waning of the
river traffic it was about to give
place to Louisville and Memphis.
The citizens got busy and built the
Cincinnati Southern railroad.
This road was once a dream in one
individual’s mind. ;
They called him a dreamer.
Yet his dream saved the town.
You hear people of the West in
mercantile, industrial, artistic and
scientific pursuits, saying: “If we
were only in Chicago we could get
this or do that.” In Chicago you
hear people say: “If we were only
in New York.” When you are in
New York you hear them say: “if
only we were in London or Paris.”
Any place is what the men who
live in it make it.
If your town is not to your liking
get husv—it’s all up to you.
The first process in the improve-
ment of any town is to get rid of the
men who are damning it.—The Lan-
tern.
NO LEGAL OBSTACLE BARS
EX-KAISER FROM GERMANY.
Former Kaiser Wilheim II, living in
exile in Doorn, can return to Ger-
many.
The former Emperor will find no
legal obstacle to prevent him from
his residence anywhere in the land in
which he was once supreme ruler.
This possibility, fraught with all
sorts of complications for the Ger-
man republic is due to a recent vote
of the Reichstag, when the two-
thirds majority necessary for the
prolongation of the law for the de-
fense of the republic failed to be
realized.
This law, passed in 1922, ~ shortly
after the assassination of Foreign
Minister Rathenau, containing a
paragraph legally barring the re-
turn of the ex-Kaiser, expired July
22.
But there is little danger of the
ex-Kaiser returning to Germany.
It would be sheer . exaggeration
even for a moment to entertain the
belief that there is any chance of the
former war lord going back as
long as the Socialists hold the main
balance of power in the republic.
But what is more to the point, the
former Emperor refuses to return to
Germany unless the monarchy is re-
established, with himself as the
Monarch.
The two-thirds majority could not
be obtained because members of the
conomic party, a very small group,
refuse to join the Socialists and Re-
publicans against the Nationalists,
Fascists and Communists.
As a result the minister of the in-
terior is planning the creation of a
law for the defense of the repub-
lic which will contain a ban against
the Kaiser so framed that none of
its provisions will in any way amend
the constitution and will therefore
require a simple majority rather
than a two-thirds vote.
A BETTER FARM COURSE
OFFERED AT STATE COLLEGE.
In response to popular demand, the
Pennsylvania State College has re-
organized the 2-year course in agri-
culture to permit wider choice and
broader training. ’
Agronomy, animal husbandry, dairy
manufacture, dairy production, flori-
culture, ornamental horticulture,
fruit growing, vegetable gardening,
and poultry will be offered as options
when college opens September 25.
In an attractive illustrated book-
let prepared for prospective students,
the college reports that many oppor-
tunities await young men and women
who complete the 2-year course.
Among the positions filled by those
who have taken the course in former
years are many operating their own
| farms; others are employed as farm
| managers, dairy and livestock herds-
| men, supervisors of dairy herd im-
provement associations, field men for
people that, while the heart defect dairy councils and milk companies,
may reasonably call for certain pre-
cautions and restrictions, it does not
necessarily constitute a progressive
disease and such people may live
Tonger and more happily. through the |
resulting from the
regulation of their activities, than
individuals
who are living carelessly and without
improved health
other so-called “robust”
restriction.
As middle age approaches, there is
a tendency among most men and wo-
‘men to decreased physical exertion
the
latter a result of the growing de-
professional, so-
and increased nervous activity,
mands of business,
cial or domestic life.
Important as a complete physical
examination is at all periods of life,
it is more vitally important at mid-
dle age than at any other time.

IN U. S. THAN ENGLAND.
Frank H.
Vizetelly, widely known lexicograph-
er and editor of the Funk and Wag-
the
American people speak better Eng-
Vizetelly said that the
broad ‘a’ a long feature of the KEng-
lish of the Englishman's speech is
fast disappearing. He expressed his
opinion while on a visit at St. Louis
FARM NOTES.
— Next winter's fuel supply should
come from dead and down trees and
from crooked and weed trees. Thus
will the woodlot he improved.
— Fewer mistakes in culling hens
'will be made when the flock has been
| properly fed and the hens given a
chance to lay as many eggs as they
are capable of producing.
—Sweet peas should be picked
daily to prevent them from going to
seed. Apply a heavy mulch of grass
clippings to conserve moisture. Wa-
ter thoroughly in dry weather.
—Quality products bring prices
high enough above the market quo-
tation for ordinary products to make
it profitable and economical to pro-
duce them. They also make satisfied
customers and bring repeat orders.
—When watering the garden artifi-
cially, an occasional liberal applica-
tion is more effective than frequent
light waterings. Late afternoon or
evening is the best time, and a spray
or slowly moving stream of water is
most desirable. The overhead system
of irrigation is good where there is
sufficient pressure.
—Be sure to attend the potato ex-
position at State College, August 19
to 22. A complete program, covering
the consumption, distribution, and
production phases of the potato in-
dustry, has been provided. Talks,
demonstrations, exhibits, experiments,
and field tests will spread the latest
available information.
—Guard against off-flavor in milk
during the cold weather when barns
are closed and conditions congested,
warns R. G. Connelly, extension spe-
cialist in dairying at the New Jersey
State Agricultural college.
Milk has the absorbing qualities of
a sponge, so that wherever foreign
odors exist near milk, it will have
an off-flavor highly distasteful to the
consumer.
—The great American bird is not
the hen nor the eagle, but the turkey
gobbler. The gobbler is lord of the
barnyard and field marshal among
the fowls. See him strut in the full-
ness of his pride, tail feathers spread-
ing, head up, wings trailing, but not
ingloriously! His crimson comb and
purplish wattles give him the appear-
ance of a red-faced and important
gentleman who is querulously con-
cerned in everything going on about
him. Such pomposity, dignity and
swagger is rare. His irritable “gob-
ble, gobble, gobble,” strikes terror in-
to the hearts of little children, but is
music in the ears of the more sophis-
ticated who envision him trussed up
in a roaster and stewing in his own
juice.
* The turkey has been closely asso-
ciated with American history from
the beginning. It will be remember-
ed that at the famous Thanksgiving
feast of the Pilgrim Fathers in No-
vember, 1621, in which the friendly
Indians participated, wild turkey was
the chief delicacy. Once this elusive
bird was plentiful but now the wild
species is all but. extinct. In only a
few sections of the country the wild
turkey may be found. It begins to
look as though the domestic turkey is
destined to go the way of its progen-
itor. Young: turkeys are hard to
raise and the Thanksgiving and the
Christmas demands exceed the sup-
ply. No one wants to see the day
when the turkey has disappeared
from the land and the proud gobbler
struts and fumes no more.
There is no substitute for the tur-
key gobbler in sight. As compared
with him the rooster is plebian and
the gander “a lesser breed without
the law.” The gobbler is a symbol
of prosperity and a token of hospital-
ity as well.
—“Cut, dig out and destroy all
weeds.” “Why? Because they cost
the Pennsylvania farmers 40 millions
of dollars annually. They are his
worst foe. This is sufficient argu-
ment for their destruction.
i “When should this work be done?
‘Behold, now is the accepted time.’
While in bloom, before the seeds
form, grind your seythe, sharpen
your hoes and get busy.
“Who should cut the weeds? All
farmers, all owners or operators of
uncultivated land (who are as a rule
our worst offenders); the highway
department, manufacturers, coal op-
erators, railroad operators, both
steam and electric, school directors,
borough and city councils, and all
other persons responsible for lands
overgrown by weeds.
“The law of Pennsylvania gives
public officials the authority to cut
and destroy two of our worst weeds—
Canada thistle and chicory, and
charge the cost to the owner of the
land. My suggestion is that you cut
your own weeds, save officials the
trouble, and keep the money for the
work in your pocket.
“Canada thistle and chicory are
not the only destructive weeds. The
ox-eye daisy is spreading very rap-
idly in Pennsylvania and should be
cut or dug out before the seed forms.
Wild mustard is practically taking
thousands of acres of land in our
Commonwealth. Get after it. The
morning glory is a real pest in many
localities. Turn your hogs in. They
will dig out the large juicy roots as
they seem to like them almost as
well as corn. Quack grass should be
hoed out or mowed down before the
seed forms. Destroy the devil's plant
brush before it devils you to death.
“George A. Stuart, of the bureau
of markets, Pennsylvania department
of agriculture, can tell you how to
get rid of your wild garlic. Do you
have wild carrots? Turn in your
sheep and they will take care of
them. Sheep are the best weed de-
stroyers we have and also give the
farmer his easiest money. They will
clean up your farm and fill your
pocketbook. Cows will take care of
elder bushels and other brush and at
the same time will furnish cream for
your strawberries.”
