Bellefonte, Pa,, February 7, 1930. Your Health. THE FIRST CONCERN. Sinusitis is Self-Limited and Sel. dom Requires Operation—Easy-oper- ating nose and throat specialists to | : HEALTH MAXIMS ! "| ELSIE WAS FAT AND FORTY, BUT SUCKERS FELL FOR HER Supported Husband and Two Children by Selling Her Charms by Mail. Los Angeles.—She was fat and for ty, and had a husband and, if you be lieve the government's postal inspec- tors, she had a sweetheart in every port, too. . The lady in question is Mrs. Elsie Weisert, who supported friend hus- band and their two children by selling her charms for cash by mail. Wouldn't some one like a nice Ger- man wife? A buxom girl of thirty who was a swell cook? Didn't some lad want to marry her? The romantic suckers replied that | they did. The practical Mrs. Weisert the contrary notwithstanding, sur-' and the chuckling husband wrote to gery can seldom be credited with a | the new hoy friends asking for rail- complete cure of sinusitis. At best | road fare with which to hasten te surgery is only an accessory of the | waiting arms. treatment of the trouble. In the great majority of cases of sinusitis whether frontal, antral, ethmoidal, sphenoidal or mastoidal, medical and hygienic treatment will suffice; and in a good many cases of acute sin- usitis, whether so recognized or not, no special treatment at all is neces- sary—the complication, for such sin- usitis is in every instance, is self- limited and healing spontaneous, I believe far too many operations have been done for mastoiditis, thanks to the ardor of born special- ists, if you know what they are, I] apply that epithet to pampered young doctors who enter directly into the practice of a specialty such as dis- eases of the nose and throat, or ear disease, as soon as they have com- pleted their medical training and perhaps spent a few months in post- graduate study. Such a specialist is inevitably a narrow, and rather a dangerous man. I care not who he is. There is only one school that fits a real spe- cialist, the kind good doctors call in when special knowledge or skill seems necessary, not the kind that caters to the wiseacre trade. That school is experience, and the doctor can get the schooling only in the practice of medicine, Our laws “regulating” the healing business are a ridiculous jumble at present, If we ever do get enough sense to junk the present laws and establish reasonable and sound rules, one thing we'll insist on is that no man shall hold himself out as a spe. cialist in any branch of healing until he has had ten years of experience in private general practice. If our specialists were of that cal- iber, I am pretty confident there would not be so many operations for mastoiditis. Even now, there is an increasing conservation in‘ the ranks of the nose and throat specialists. Twenty or more years ago they were cutting bones out of the nose literally by the basketful, punching, snarling, saw- ing, shearing off pieces of turbinate bodies, drilling, irrigating, draining sinuses, straghtening septums all on little or no provocation, and in a shocking proportion of cases with little or no benefit, other than the temporary relief to obstruction. All this has changed. Your tur- binates have to be just awful, and you have to have a genuine sinusiti§ and no mistake, and your nasal sep- tum must be as crooked as Bull what’s his name in the movies—be- fore the established nose and throat man will commence operations now. One of my delusions—I admit I have 'em—is that I have been chos- en by the American people to draw up a new code of statutes regulat- ing the practice of healing. I would begin by taking away the license of every healer who professed or ac- knowledged affiliation with any “pathy” or “school 2» ; I would lay down certain qualifi- cations and tests which every candi- date would be required to meet. And 1 would require every would-be spe- cialist to give satisfactory evidence that he has had 10 years of actual private practice in general healing Altogether I fancy Mussolini and I would be great cronies, —My suggestion is that you use olive oil in some of your recipes in place of butter. It is particularly delicious in gingerbread and baked beans. Generally, fried foods are not to be recommended; but if you do fry, olive oil will prove economi- cal, because any that is left in the pan can be filtered through cheese- cloth and kept in a cool place for future use. It can be used over and over again. Olive oil should be hot before the article to be fried is placed in the pan. Its temperature can be raised to over 600 degrees before it burns, wheras butter burns at a little over 200 degrees, suet at about 300 de- grees, and lard at 325 degrees, Olive oil, with the high degree of heat, quickly coats the outside of the ar- ticle with a crust which prevents the oil from penetrating. Butter on ac- count of the low temperature at which it must be kept so that it will not scorch, is really a poor frying medium. When preserving fruit, rub the kettle with oilve oil. It will prevent the fruit from burning. In one point, however, oilve oil is inferior to dairy butter. It islack ing in vitamin A. This deficiency may be made up by the free use of spinach and other greens, which should never be overlooked when olive oil is used in place of butter. —TInfantile paralysis can be recog- nized by a headache, followed by nausea and a fever around 103 in the early stages before complete paralysis sets in, said Dr. S, D. ‘Kramer, of the Harvard University Infantile Paralysis Commisson, in warning parents to be on the look out for symptoms, The fever and headache are ac- companied generally with a stiff neck, the paralysis expert said. “On the first dav when the moth- er notes anyof these symptoms, es- pecially in the earlv summer or fall she should call a doctor. . But in stalked grim tragedy. The poor little German girl's mother had died in Europe. She had to go home. So another romance was knocked on the head. That's the post office in- spectors’ story and they are sticking to it. Mrs. Weisert and her husband, John, have confessed that the charges qre true. “Yes, that’s the way we worked it,” Weisert said in the county jail, where he is held in lieu of $2,000 bond. “We had to live and that was an easy way to get money. 3 “It’s all my fault, though. 1 wrote most of the letters. Say, 1 wrote so many lctters that 1 was almost ready to marry some one myself.” The “bride-to-be” was released on her own recognizance to care for their | two young children. Date of trial ir federal court has not been set. According to postal Denver matrimonial used in the alleged scheme. The hus- band would write to the paper, each time listing his wife under a differ ent name. And such nice German names— Anna Wolf, Elsie Schlitt, Elsie Ham- mer, Martha Schmidt, Martha Bow man. Then the magazine would send the name of the “lonely girl” to an in- quiring “lonely man.” But when the suckers started to protest about the railroad fares, the magazine turned the matter over to the postal inspec- tors and the Weiserts were traced through some of the addresses listed as the home of the buxom German girl. Finds Real Van Dyck; Loses It at Bargain Mexico City.—Here’s a hard luck story told by J. Thurston of London, who is in Mexico in search of an- tiques. At “Thieves’ Market,” popular Mex «can City bazaar, Mr. Thurston found among an assortment of valueless paintings a picture of a boy that at- tracted his attention. The canvas was in a deplorable condition and the painting had all the marks of a dis- carded article. He examined the painting closely and was struck by its color and tech- nique. With a moistened handker- chief he rubbed a corner of the pic- ture and discovered the signature “Van Dyck, 1621.” It was the work of the celebrated Flemish painter, Van Dyck. He offered 5 pesos for the picture put was told the price was 40 pesos. He did not have that amount on his person and promised to return the following day. Upon returning he found the owners had had the paint- ing appraised and refused to sell it at any price. Get 68,500,000 Trees for Reforestation Washington.—The forest service of the Agriculture department announced that 68,565,201 trees were furnished by 34 states, Hawail and Porto Rico last year for re-stocking farm tim- berlands. Coincident with the department’ announcement, George Pratt, presi- dent of the American Forestry asso- ciation, long a leader in the cause of forest preservation, called at the White House to urge increased appro- priations of $2,500,000 for forest fire fighting purposes. Pratt told President Hoover much Jf last year's $3,000,000 damage to the country’s forests could have been averted had there been adequate funds with which to combat fire. Only $100,000 annually now is available, he pointed out. Most of the trees were furnishea farmers at cost, the Agriculture de- partment said in its announcement, although several states distributed nursery stock free. New York and Pennsylvania led the 34 states, each distributing more than 2,000,000 trees. China Mandate Orders Use of New Calendar Shanghai. — Documents dated by China’s old style lunar calendar will not be valid after January 1, 1930, ac- cording to a mandate issued by the national government. It is hoped that if the governmen. can compel business houses to foliow the “foreign style calendar,” the gen- eral public will do so likewise. Pre- vious efforts at modernizing the cal- endar have met with scant success, and Chinese New Year was duly cel- ebrated throughout the country this year in spite of official prohibitions. inspectors a ' magazine was ! SEEDS COME FROM VARIED SOURCES. Although the Department of For- ests and Waters depends primarily upon its own resources for the seeds used in its nurseries a shortage in some kinds, even in far Japan may curtail planting, officials say. I" A report received by Charles R. Meek, chief of the bureau of ex- tension, from Japanese growers said the larch seed crop was a failure and that they were unable to fur- nish any this year, Last year’s supply of larch seed came from Japan, Norway spruce from the Silicia district in Ger- many, and the Scotch pine from the Rega district in Russia. The supply Jf red pine seed was obtained in Minnesota. Hemlock, white pine, pitch pine, shortleaf pine, ash, red ,oak, and walnut seeds were secured from Pennsylvania. More than 1,000 pounds of pine and spruce seed were planted in the State nurseries last year. In addi-" tion to this, 46 bushels of black walnuts, 42 bushels of red oak acorns and a considerable quantity of white ash, hemlock, tulip, alianthus, silver fir, and basswood seed were planted. Great care is exercised in the pur- chase of seeds of the highest quality. For this reason as much seed as possible is collected in Pennsylvania on State Forest as well as private land. Three forest tree seed supply stations have been established in Pennsylvania, one:in Scotch pine on the Mont Alto State Forest, Frank- lin county; one in white pine on the Logan State Forest, at Greenwood Furnace, Huntingdon county; and nne in European larch near Anso- nia, on the Tioga State Forest. One pound of white pine seed con- tains 28 600 seeds, while a pound of red-pine contains over 60,000 seeds. Bobbed Hair Proved to | Have Been Viking “Fad’ It has been definitely proved: Bobbed hair was the fashion over a thousand years ago. It cannot be claimed that it conquered the entire world at that time, but we know ab- robbers and seafarers of old, knew the style. This astounding fact, to gether with many others of perhaps less interest but even greater scien: tific importance, has been established through the discovery near Tilsit, East Prussia, of a huge Viking burial place, dating from the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh centuries. The finds are un: gsually rich. Each man’s grave con: taing three or four iron swords, as many as a dozen lanceheads, bronze belt buckles, stirrups and snaffles, In the women’s graves jewelry of all kinds was found, bronze bracelets, rings, necklaces, all beautifully wrought. A young woman with bobbed with “zippers” used in place of but- tons or pins to fasten garments.—Ed- gar Ansel in the Chicago Daily News. Baby Carriages First Baby carriages did not make their appearance until the middle of the Ninteenth century, when, according to a historical sketch published by a car- riage company, a man appeared on a street in New York and attracted a good deal of attention by pushing a baby carriage which he had designed and made. That man was Charles Burton, a lithographic artist who had come from England, and who returned to his home country with his baby carriage as soon as he discovered that he had hit upon a popular idea. He made some more carriages in the parlor of a house near the Kensington palace and almost immediately re- ceived orders from nobility and roy- alty, including Queen Victoria, who bought three, Queen Isabella of Spain, who bought one, for her son, later Alphonso XII, and others. The royal houses quickly learned of the con- venience of the baby carriage. and it reached the homes of the poor.—Detroit News. And They Got the Point A negro evangelist was preaching concerning the horrors of hell In front of him was a coffin piled high with flowers. Newspapers had an- pounced that it was to be the funeral of a neighbor. There was no word of praise from the preacher's mouth. “Breth’en an’ sistahs,” he shouted, . “ouah deceased friend heah done com- mitted eve’y sin in de catalog. He wasn’t ready when de trumpet of de angel called him. He was unprepa’ed. He was wicked an’ had to face judg- ment in his wickedness.” At the end of the sermon every member of the congregation was eager to crowd for- ward and view the “remains.” Solemn- ly they filed past the coffin. It was empty but in the bottom was a mir- ror that reflected the face of every “mourner” that looked in. The lesson went home.—Capper’s Weekly. Chinese Delicacy Chop suey originated at a dinner that Prince Li Hung Chang gave in New York when he made his trip around the world. Prince Li carried , his own chef with him, and the menu ' was strictly Chinese. One of the dishes especially delighted the wife of the guest of honor, and she asked Li what it was. Prince Li called in his chef, and the chef replied in Chinese, “It is a creation of my own—a chop suey.” The words “chop suey” mean a mix: ture, or hash. Prince Li said in Eng: lish, “It is a chop suey.” The Ameri- can woman spread the news of chop suey, the wonderful dish. The name was taken up by the Chinese restau- rants in America, and today chop suey is the chief concoction that they serve. solutely that the ancient Vikings, the hair was found in one of these graves, | | Used by Royal Families 71-16-tf LUMBER?

A ton of the concentrated fertilizer may contain between two and four times as much plant food as the fertilizer mixtures formerly used. Savings in freight and handling costs result and the cost per unit of plant food is much lower than in the past. Good re- sults have been obtained in using the new fertilizers in comparison with the bulky kinds, —With the 1930 State Farm Pro- ducts Show now passed into history many farm groups already are plan- ning for participaton in the 1931 event which will be held in the new building now being erected by the State.
