I
our Health,
The First Concern.
Recently I read a most interesting :
«discussion about backache. It was
written by a man who has made an
intensive study of this complaint.
This article took up in detail some
.of the more common causes of this
ailment.
The average person looks on back-
ache as a disease. It is not— itis a
symptom. In some cases it may be
merely the result of fatigue or over-
-work. As a rule it is a warning that
there is some underlying condition
which is responsible for the symp-
“tom.
The doctor who so ably discusses
backache classifies the causes. First
on the list are those due to focal in-
fection. This includes the teeth, ton-
.sils, sinuses and intestines. An in-
fection in any one of these centers
might be accompanied by pains in
“the joints and muscles. It might
«cause backache.
Second come those cases due te
some disease of the abdominal or-
gans. Gall bladder trouble, some in-
fection of the kidneys, kidney stones,
gravel, appendicitis, and uterine dis-
turbance or displacement, would all
come under this heading.
Many cases
«sign of a disturbed nervous system.
Orthopedic conditions such as flat
feet, fallen arches, misplaced verte-
"brae, strained ligaments, will natur-
:ally result in backache. This form
of discomfort is merely a reflex.
In women the most common cause
of backache is some disorder of the
pelvic organs. It is wise to find out
what is wrong.
‘The efficiency of the victim, wheth-
©r a man or a woman is sure to be
lessened if persistent backache ab-
sorbs the happiness and vigor. The
«constant, nagging, down-bearing,
‘twisting, aching pain is intolerable.
No wonder loss of good nature and
‘positive irritability are the natural
:acompaniments of these distressing
Symptoms.
But, as you see, there are so
many possible causes for backache
that it isn’t easy to get rid of it. But
in order to do so it will be necessary |
Zo study the case very carefully to lo-
«cate the trouble. If you do not find
‘the cause at once donot be discour- '
aged. There is a cause, of course,
-and patient search will find it.
—How many persons realize that
fit is quite possible to be well fed and
at the same time not properly
‘nourished? In other words, too
many Tolks satisfy their appetites
“but do not always supply their body
‘meeds. The one who plans the meals
‘Should bear in mind to be well
‘nourished the daily meals must sup-
Ply:
{1) Foods that will give the body
«nergy to do its work. The best
sources of energy and heat-yielding
Xoods are sugars and starches and
fats. Fat meats such as bacon are
especially good sources of energy.
(2) The body must have building
rmaterial for repair and for growth.
"This means that the daily diet must
rcontdin good protein and there is no
‘better source of protein of high qual-
ity than meat.
(3) Minerals and vitamins are vi-
tal body regulators. Fruits and
green vegetables for minerals and
for vitamins should be included liber-
2lly in the diet. Lean beef heads
‘the list of the foods which are rich
“in iron. Milk is valuable for its
“minerals, especially calcium, and for
“protein and vitamins. Water also is
8 lbody regulator.
—A doctor in charge of the medi-
cal department of an industrial plant
found that the administration of
“bicarbonate of soda is an aid in help-
Jing to cure and abort colds. The doc-
“tor believes that the condition we
know as acidosis may be the factor
“which lowers the resistance to colds,
and the soda relieves this acidosis.
You can bring on an acidosis by a
diet that is composed too largely of
breads, cereals, pastries and flesh
foods, with too little of the foods
that leave an alkaline ash residue—
‘milk, milk products, fruits, veget-
ables and nuts; so the thing to do
“for a cold and for general health is to
immediately correct the diet.
With a cold it will be advisable to
i $1,000,000 TO BE SPENT
FOR WOMEN’S HOTEL.
A free apartment hotel, where
widows and other women who have
| been deserted by their husbands, re-
| gardless of their religious faith,
| may live the remainder of their life
—free of charge—will be erected in
Philadelphia in the near future.
According to the will of Dr. Ga-
brielle Harrison, who has bequeath-
ed her entire estate, of $1,00,000 to
this cause, the hotel will be a mem-
orial to her mother, the late Mrs.
Bertha Warneck Lewowicz.
The woman physician’s will pro-
vides that a board of managers shall
be organized to act with the trustees
nance of the hotel.
The board will be composed of a
representative of the board of City
i Trusts, the Cardinal of the Roman
| Catholic church in Philadelphia and
the leaders of the Protestant and
Jewish faiths.
! The building will be comparable
{in size and appointments with other
| hotels in the city. There is to be no
| charge for guests but they will be
allowed to remain for the remain-
der of their lives unless discharged
by the board of managers under such
rules and regulations as may be pro-
vided. .
After the establishment of this ho-
tel and when funds in the hands of
the trustees are sufficient for the
purpose, a similar institution is to be
established in Jerusalem. This will
be known as the Jerusalem Exten-
sion.
In explaining the purpose of the
apartment hotel and her reasons for
providing for its erection, Dr. Harri-
son declared it was her intention to
render a lasting service to her
adopted city of Philadelphia as well
as paying a lasting tribute to the
memory of her mother.
| It was her belief that in many
cases widows in modest circum-
stance often are left practically

‘mervous origin. It may be a passing husbands, or that many have chil- | could easily become a source of dan-
dren who are unwilling to contrib-
bute to their support.
| Her years of experience with
| those of modest means led her to
'the conclusion that she could do a
{lasting good by providing a good
‘home with all modern accomoda-
i tions where such women might spend

; Son, builder, and several other rela-
| tives are to receive the income from
| the estate. George A. Welsh and the
; Continental Equitable Trust Com-
| pany are executors and trustees.
The estate includes a great deal of
realty and large holdings of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
. Dr. Harrison, who was born in
Europe and came to Philadelphia at
an early age, was stricken last month
‘in the office of General W. W. At-
terbury, president of the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad. She was consulting
him regarding investments. :

BRITISH ALMSHOUSE
BARS LIARS, LUNATICS.
Liars, lunatics and witches are not
eligible for admission to twelve new
alms houses built by a local religious
charity at Barnet Vale, a small vil-
lage outside London.
The inmates are to be widows or
spinsters over 50, and the author-
ities in making their selection have
to bear in mind the spirit of the con-
ditions laid down by James Raven-
scroft, who founded the charity in
1679, that liars, lunatics and witches
must not be admitted. -
STATE TO BE FREED
OF BEE DISEASES.
The most extensive inspection of
apiaries ever undertaken in Pennsyl-
vania is now well under way, accord-
ing to the bureau of plant industry,
Pennsylvania department of agricul-
ture. Eleven representatives of the
bureau are in the field and will visit
all beekeepers, making a careful in-
spection of every hive. The work is
being pushed vigorously. By the end
of the season, more than 36,000 hives
in at least 23 counties will have been
inspected. The present plan calls for
a complete clean-up of all bees in
Pennsylvania during the next two
years.
This work is being done by the de-
in accordance with the
State bee law which was enacted in
1921 at the request of the beekeepers
of the Commonwealth. The law spe-
cifically requires that bees be hived
in modern movable frame hives
which permit free inspection of each
comb to determine the presence of
serious bee diseases. The box hive
is declared by law to be a public
nuisance and a menace to the com-
munity. Persons violating the law
are subject to a fine of $10 to $100.
A statement issued by the depart-
ment says:
“A number of beekeepers have
been fined already this season, but
‘only after the department had given
them more than six months time in
which to comply voluntarily with the
law. Their hives were inspected
time that the law was being violat-
ed. They were notified again during
| the winter and early spring. An in-
i spection this spring showed that
these beekeepers were still ignoring
‘the requirements of the law.
: “Only as a last recourse does the
lating the law and then it is done as
ia protection to other beekeepers in
the community. If the department
| ger to nearby clean apiaries.
| “In their desire to have more pro-
| ductive and profitable bees, the great
| majority of beekeepers are anxious
{that the provisions of the law be
(carried out. It is the policy of the
the few careless beekeepers shall
maintain clean apiaries so that the
entire State can be freed of serious
bee diseases.”
YOUTHFUL DRIVER
MUST SHOW CARD.
Very youthful drivers of motor
cars in Pennsylvania hereafter will
be required to produce operators’ li-
censes, when encountered by mem-
bers of the State Highway Patrol,
Commissioner Benjamin G. Eynon,
of the Motor Vehicles Bureau an-
nounced. Eynon has turned over to
Superintendent Wilson G. Price of
the Patrol a letter from Dr. G. F.
Willey, field psychiatrist of the Wel-
fare department’s bureau of mental
health, in which Dr. Willey refers to
unlicensed drivers of extreme youth.
An examination of inmates of one
of the State’s correctional institu-
tions has convinced Dr. Willey that
men and boys of automobile larceny
are usually mental defectives, con-
firmed criminals, defective delin-
quents or alcoholics. The majority
of those he has examined have driv-
en motor cars for a long time but
without ever having been licensed.
“Obviously,” he wrote Commission-
er Eynon, “the number of unlicensed
drivers in the reformatory group will
be much higher because the boys in
the institution are just reaching the
age when driving a motor car at-
tracts them, and because as a group
they are inclined to take chances
and run unreasonable risks without
thought of consequences.
“It occcurs tome—as it has un-
doubtedly occurred to you, that one
of the effective means of dealing
with automobile larceny is to check
up the young drivers frequently for
licenses. Another approach to this
matter would be to insist that a
parked car must be locked in some
manner, since these boys tell me, al-
most without exception, that they
have never attempted to appropriate
a machine which was adequately se-
cured, except in the course of break-
ing and entering a garage where un-
locked cars were kept.”
Of 69 inmates in the institution
examined the last few days in July
a total of 49 declared that they drive
motor cars and trucks, but do not
hold drivers’ cards. Of the 69 only
19 possess average intelligence, and
six of the 19 are dull.
FISHER SETS TIME FOR
AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION.
The annual period during which
every automobile owner is compell-
ed by the State to have his car offi-
cially inspected was fixed by Gover-
nor Fisher beginning October 1 and
ending November 15. During that
period every registered automobile
in the State must be taken to a
garage, given an “inspection” and
equipped with an official tag to de-
note compliance with the State law.
The period for the inspection was
fixed by the Governor in an official
proclamation in which he asked the
co-operation of newspapers and civic |
organizations “in emphasizing the .
importance of this safety movement.” |
Benjamin G. Eynon, registrar of
motor vehicles, said that “official in-
spection stations will be designed as
soon as practicable and that mean- |
while garages and repair shops which
write asking for such appointments
will be “wasting their time.”
During the inspection period last
year many motorists refused to com- |
ply, holding that wearing of the of-
ficial sticker on the windshield was
in direct contravention of the motor
code, which forbad: display of any
kind. The last session of the Legisia-
ture modified the code so that an of-
ficial inspection sticker may be dis.
played on a windshield, although
printed matter of any other kind is
forbidden.

HEAT WAVE KILLING
ALL OF MOSQUITOS.
Although excessive heat is hard
on human beings, it is still harder
on mosquitos, and many breeding
places of the pests have
been cleaned up by heat waves, ac-
cording to Professor Frederick P.
Gorham, of Brown University. A
blazing sun is far more fatal to the
humming drillers than to the hu-
mans, he explained.
