Your Health,
THE FIRST CONCERN.
—“Don’t be ashamed of feeling
tired. It is ne sign of weakness to
be in that condition after a reason-
able amount of energy has been ex-
pended. On the other hand, it is a
weakness to impose upon nature by
forcing fatigue to move on by the
use of methods contrary to nature’s
law. >
—“From a health standpoint ‘for-
ty winks’ walk circles around too
much coffee or a similar stimulant.
Therefore, “cat-nap” when fatigue
comes over you. Don't prod nature
to keep going. It doesn’t pay todo
so. While it is true that nature is
long suffering and will stand for an
amazing amount of cheek and pre-
sumption on your part, it will only
do so for a while. Finally it will
slap back, and when it does, it will
hurt.
—“Work hard and play hard, but
live according to the rules, Many
a dangerous breakdown and worse
can be avoided by following this ad-
vice. And in this connection, respect
fatigue.”
—Many thousands of parents are
still of the opinion that whooping
cough, measles and other ‘catching
diseases’ should be caught early and
thus be done with; that cancer is a
smmunicable disease; that tubercu-
logis is an inherited malady; and
that tonics can effectively supplant
the physical necessities of fresh air,
proper food, adequate sleep and dai-
ly exercise.
“As a matter of fact, the child-
hood diseases should be guarded
against with the utmost caution.
They kill thousands of little people
sach year. Again, while cancer is
aot a communicable disease and car-
ries no personal stigma of any kind,
sarly diagnosis of probable symp-
toms such as lumps, unusual bleed-
ng and persistent sores should be
made by a physician. Many lives
san thus be saved. Tuberculosis al-
jo needs early discovery for favorable
results. Therefore, a persistent cough
»r a consistent loss of weight should
sromptly be investigated. And fi-
1ally the basic living laws need to be
sarefully’ and regularly followed if
ife is to attain its highest degree of
sigor and vitality.
“If you are so inclined, poke fun
it unfortunate ignorance. But in the
irst place turn the light upon your-
self to make sure that it ‘is not also
slaying devitalizing tricks on you.
Yet out of the ‘hex’ class before pity-
ng ‘hexers.”
— “No one will question the fact
‘hat life today is a high speed af-
‘air. Rush, drive and force are
natter-of-fact elements in daily ex-
stence. The simple life has now
n many cases turned into the life
imple.” said Dr. Theodore B. Ap-
sel, Secretary of Health.
“Nervous breakdowns and physi-
:al bankruptcies are so common
hese days as to cause little com-
nent. These things are merely the
1atural penalties of this day and
ge, people are wont to say.
“And while they are quite correct
bout it, the inevitability of such a
yrice does not exist at all. Hard
work and the daily grind are not
vhat break people so much 2s it is
he unwise forcing of the body to go
yn when the natural process2s say
top.
For instance, fatigue is a per-
‘ectly natural reaction. To give way
o this feeling by snatching a bit of
est, even in the rush of affairs, is
lecidedly a more sensible proposi-
jon than to spur one’s self to fur-
her efforts by the misuse of stim-
Jants such as coffee, tea, excessive
moking or drug-store concoctions.
fo thus daily drive one’s self is a
vhip which will finally leave its
nark.
Chest protectorsare worse than
1seless. They might better be
vorn on the feet.
There are mind poisons, just as
here are poisons. There are books,
yooks, and plays, and people that
hould have poison labels on them
o warn us of their contents.
—What is temperance for ome
nan may be excess for another.
Jence the most important step, in
yrotecting against degenerative
naladies, is to have a thorough
»hysical examination at regular in-
ervals—at least once a year—so
hat life may be regulated accord-
ng to one's physical equipment.
—Barring acutal poisoning or or-
ranic disease, the habit of self-pity
nd of nervous apprehension is pure-
y an acquired bad mental habit and
an be corrected by proper mental
\ygiene. - Companionship with the
‘heerful, the optimistic, and the
trong is marvelous help. The read-
ng of books and biographies treating
f strong, successful, and heroic
haracters also afford valuable men-
al suggestion.
Many learned authorities have
eld that conditions characterized
i so-called nervous failure (pys-
hasthenia, neurasthenia, hysteria,
te.) are caused by fear. In other
vords, the attitude towards life of
he nervous wreck is pusillanimous.
A broader vision shows that, while
he acquired bad mental habit of
ear—an exaggeration of primitive
rotective instincts—is indeed, the
asis of much nervous and mental
allure and general ill health, this
ery fear is often engendered by a
adly-working poisoned body.

pected once a year or at appropri-
THE TIE THAT BINDS
(Continued from Page 2 )
they declared Tom Crosby the win-
ner. :
Then somebody in the crowd took
a shot at Bart Eaton—and missed.
But for him, the wretched, interfer-
ing gringo, they would not have lost
their bets; their coun! would
not have been humiliated by defeat
at the hands of a foreigner and an
Americano at that. In a t
the more excitable spirits among
them convinced themselves that
they had been robbed and that the
judges were aiding and abetting the
erime, >"!
The wastrel who shot at Bart
Eaton started more fireworks and
with a roar the disgruntled crowd
hurled themselves upon judges and
contestants.
Fortunately, the objects of their
wrath were mounted, and before
they could be seized and the riders
torn from the saddles, the three
judges had sorted out long and im-
posing six-shooters and backed rap-
idly away. A policeman clubbed the
man who had nred the first shot;
somebody knifed the policeman and
the crowd, only momentarily halted,
surged forward again toward their
prey.
Then somebody took a shot at
Tom Crosby. “This,” cried Bart Eat-
on, “is no place for two lone, Amer-
icanos particularly when said Amer-
icanos ain't heeled.” And he spur-
red in alongside Mr. Crosby, who sat
swaying in his saddle. He steadied
him with his good right arm, and
riding boot to boot, they galloped up
the field to the spiteful accompa-
niment of a score of bullets.
Near the chutes a heavy latched
gate led to liberty; Bart leaned down
and unlatched this gate and his
horse shouldered it open; with his
right arm again around Tom Cros-
by, they galloped up through Juarez
to the head of the International
Bridge. Here a Mexican sentry bade
them halt.
“You sit tight an’ don’t fall off,”
Mr. Eaton bade his charge. “I'll
argue with this boy.” He dismount-
ed, smiling, stepped in close and
sent his right fist whizzing home on
that soldier's jaw; mounted again
and thundered across the bridge
after Tom Crosby, who, taking the
hint, had not even paused.
Tom Crosby, sitting up in bed at
the Sheldon Hotel, eyed Bart Eaton
severely as the latter, painfully em-
barrassed, entered the room. “I've
sent for you, Mr. Eaton,” said Mr.
Crosby stiffly, “to ’pologize for my
inability to keep that date we had
to shoot out our differences together
on Mexican soil.”
“There was considerable shootin’
the last time we was on Mexican
soil together, ifr. Crosby, an’ you
got a furrow ripped through your
fool scelp. Personally, I wouldn’t
wish to be shot—at ag’in—by you
or nobody else.”
“On account my head’s still achin’,
I heartily indorse them sentiments,
Bart, although I might as well tell
you I never intended fightin’ no duel
with you. That wouldn't be sensible
an’ besides, it would have been bad
business. By the way, it was right
neighborly o’ you to chuck me that
tie rope, Bart. Considerin’ that your
action enabled me to win first mon-
ey, five thousand dollars, plus half the
third money you forfeited by not fin-
ishin’—I got to admit that rope had
a value considerably in advance of
its original cost. It won me eigh-
teen thousand in bets, too.”
He glanced drearily toward the
ceiling. “I'm a fool for luck, aint
I? However, what I want to know
is this. Hatin’ me as you do, what
moved you to chuck me that tie rope
an’ then, after that Mexican shoots
me, help me home across the bridge
knockin’ out a Mexican sentry en
route ?”
“Mebee it was professional pride,”
Bart growled. “You sure done some
grand ropin’, although the Peralta
man would have licked you if you
hadn’t gained time on him with
your figure-eight before they barred
it an’ if he’d been able to last physi-
cally. He was wearin’ down your
lead mighty fast.”
“There must have been another
reason why you chucked me that tie
rope. Bart. I heard you yellin’ ho-
sannas o’ jure joy as I took after
that last steer, an’ while I knew
they was cheers because o’ some-
thin’ rotten you figgered was goin’
to happen to me, I—"
“I chucked you that tie rope be-
cause I found out sudden I didn't
have the nerve to see that Mexican
lick you.” Bart’s voice was half a
sob. “That tie rope was the last
thing bound me to my hate—so I
wanted to get rid of it.”
“What become o’ that tie rope,
Bart?”
“After you cast your steer loose
you tucked it up in your belt ag’in. It
was still there when I drug you up
to this room an’ sent for the doctor.
It must be here somewhere.”
“We'll frame it,” Mr. Crosby mur-
mured, “an’ hang it up where we
can always look at it—an’ remem-
ber...Sho’, sho’, Bart, you hadnt
ought to take on like that, you dog- |
gone crybaby. Buck up partner—" |
“rd ought to shoot myself,” Mr.
Eaton sobbed. “Me, I never did have |
no brains. The only money I ever
made was because o’ you, an’ when |
you wanted to treat me like a part-
ner—1like a brother, I mean—I had
to let somethin’ small an’ mean in-
side 0° me come between us. You
deserve all the luck you've had. I
used to think Td die o’ iov to see
you take a bad financial lickin’, but
when I found it was up to me
whether you took it or not—well,
right then an’ there me an’ old man
Conscience had a knock-down-an’-
drag-out fight an’ I lost. T tried to
foreit you risked a five-thousand-
dollar prize by takin’ time out to
rove an’ tie a stear that was fixin’
to nore me an’ Shinv—

rive me. ol’-timer. Tve learnt mv
lesson. I fizgered I'd made vou hate

dition, is protecting himself aginst
the insidious develonment of unsus-
nected disease and alan arainst
neadless worry over imaeginarv af-
flictions, and worrv due tn exageera-
tine the serinusness of some simple
or local trouble.
mg an’ every time we met my heart
mos’ broke in two You ain’t got the
slightest notion o’ what a relief it
was for me to bust you that time we
angled! An’ I didn’t lick you. It
was a double knockout.”
“I wish you'd shet up,” Mr. Cros-
by replied wearily. “You got a rec-
ord o’ all the money you win workin’
solo last season—also the expense
0’ doin’ business?” »
Mr. Eaton nodded and Mr. Cros-
by resumed.
“Well, you turn in your figgers to
me an’ I'll turn mine in an’ well de-
duct the joint as we used to do
when we was partners.
“Why, we was partners all along,
only we didn’t know it. I bought
radio stock with the Ilama money;
paid seventy-five for it, an’ she’s up
to three hundred now an’ goin’ high-
er. With everybody buyin’ radios on
the installment plan an’ new models
comin’ out every month a burro
could figger it. We got twenty-three
thousand five hundred to collect ov-
er in Juarez, as soon as things sim-
mer down. >
“Now, you ain't lost a dollar op-
eratin’ on your own, but on the oth-
er hand I have. I paid out about
five hundred dollars in American
money to a man I set to watch you
an’ let me know if you was still
playin’ poker, or bein’ frugal an’ sav-
in’ your money.”
“Me,” Mr. Eaton declared prideful-
ly, “I don’t crave no more easy mon-
ey an’ I'm off speculative enterprises.
I got five hundred an’ four dollars
in a savin’s account an’ she’s a-draw-
in’ four per cent. per annum. Four
per cent. ain’t much but I get it.”
Mr. Crosby’s plain features were
wreathed in an angelic smile. “That
first savin’s account an’ the first
four per cent. on it is like the first
drop 0’ human blood to a tiger,
Bart,” he opined. “It makes a feller
want more. Bart, you realize at
last that thirty years from now me
an’ you are goin’ to commence
groanin’ when we fork a horse—lis-
ten, hombre. You’re not as rich as
your old Tom partner, but you are
worth somethin’ over a hundred
thousand an’ the first lesson a mon-
eyed man had ought to learn is not
to be stingy.”
“There was a bootlegger around
to see me yesterday,” Mr. Raton
managed to murmur. ‘T'll—T'11 hus-
tle right out after him an’ negotiate
a couple o’ quarts o’ champagne.”
“You bet,” Mr. Crosby replied.
“Three men an’ a boy can’t keep us
out o' our own little cow outfit next
year.”—Hearst’s International Cos-
mopolitan.
—Construction of new roads in Penn-
sylvania reached the 495-mile mark for
the season at the end of last week, the
State Highway Department announced.
With the advent of colder weather, road
building will soon have to stop for the
winter, W. A. Van Duzer, assistant
chief engineer of the department said
adding the prediction that the construc-
tion for the year will not go above 525
miles. Approximately 700 miles were
built in 1925, he said.

THE SPARROW.-HAWK
The indiscriminate condemnation
and persecution from which all
hawks used to suffer is being some-
what relaxed of late years, and
many of these swift, rapacious birds
are now recognized as among the
farmer’s best friends. Among them
all the farmer has no greater friend
than the least of the hawks, the
sparrow-hawk.
The sparrow-hawk gets its name
from its diminutive size, rather than
from any fondness it displays for
sparrows as prey. As a matter of
fact, sparrow-hawks seldom offend
by killing small birds or young chicks.
When they want warm blooded meat
they generally take fieldmice, but
their principal food during the warm
season consists of insects. © They
seem to have a special liking for
grass-hoppers, crickets, and that
clan of cropchewing pests in gener-
al, varied with big caterpillars, large
spiders, bloated beetles, and similar
sreeping things that nobody is fond
of.
The sparrow-hawk is much less
shy of man and his works than are
most of its larger brethren; indeed,
most of its hunting is done over
cultivated fields and clearings. Since
it preys on small things that usually
keep close to cover, it is not a lofty
soarer like its relatives, but is giv-
en to being suspended over a partic-
ular point by a raid fluttering of
its wings; whence its other name of
“windhover.” - |
It has one of the widest rangesof !
Northern American birds,
found everywhere east of the Rock- |
ies, from the Yukon and Mackenzie |
basins across to Newfoundland and !
south to the gulf. A closely related
hawlet, the desert sparrow-hawk, '
covers the rest of the continent,
south through Mexico into Central
America. ;

DISTURBED SLEEP
ger Ahead.
Mrs. Annie L. Denson, 214 Wykes
St., Aliquippa, Pa., says, “For 9
years I suffered agony with my
bladder. Was told the only hope for
a cure was an operation. Dreaded
to see night come as I was disturbed
many nights an operation. Dreadn’,
many nights every 15 minutes. Af-
ter taking Lithiated Buchu (Keller
Formula) a few days, I had much
relief. I am now almost cured.
Sleep all night without being dis-
turbed. I have gained 18 pounds. I
am always glad to tell or write my
full experience.” It acts on bladder
as epsom salts do on bowels. Drives
out foreign deposits and lessens ex-
cessive acidity. This relieves the ir-
ritation that causes getting up
nights. The tablets cost 2c. each
at all drug stores, Keller Labora-
tory, Mechanicsburg, Ohio, or local-
ly at C. M. Parrish.
Appetizing results . . .
the electric w
oay
It is hard to say which will delight you more ... the
delicious flavor of electric-oven cooked meals or the time
and work they save you. But both result from the same
things: automatic control of cooking and an oven so tightly
sealed that almost no evaporation takes place.
Just put an entire meal in the oven . . . a big rib roast,
stuffed pork chops or a casserole dish . . . vegetables ... a
pudding. Then, set the time and temperature regulators.
The current is automatically turned on and off at exactly
the right time. You don’t have to give the oven a thought
during the entire time that the meal is cooking. Everything
is browned to perfection and cocked to the most appetizing
tenderness without any attention from you.
Since moisture is retained in the oven, foods keep their
savory juices. You don’t have to baste, or turn or taste. .
Nothing is dried out. About twenty per cent less shrinkage
takes place. Cook electrically for economy!
