Bowlin |” “Bellefonte, Pa., February 28, 1930 You Tr He a 1th THE FIRST CONCERN. “When a bit of sunshine hits ye, After passing of a cloud, ‘When a fit of laughter gits ye, - And yer spine is feeling proud, Don't forget to up and fling it . iAt a soul that's feeling blue, For the minute that you sling it ! It's a boomerang to you. —Just a cold, you say. Perhaps ‘§t is, and perhaps it isn’t. What seems to be the beginning of a cold may prove to be influenza. Measles, scarlet fever, or whooping cough may also start with what seems to be only a sore throat or cold. Colds frequently are followed by pneumo- nia and other serious illnesses. They sometimes break ground for tuber- culosis. A whole train of troubles Jurk in the wake of a neglected cold. Even if it is just a cold, it is nothing to be regarded lightly. Colds take more dollars and cents out of the worker's pocket than any other sickness. They are responsible for a greater loss of time from school and work than any other single cause, What is more, it is very easy to give a cold to some- one else. Yours may be light, but the cold the other person catches from you may have serious conse- ‘guences. There are two kinds of common colds—the cold which you catch from other people, and the cold you take even though no one around you has one. People who have ‘adenoids or diseased tonsils or are run-down are likely to have either kind. The germ which causes you to ‘catch cold may enter your nose and throat passages from the air when the infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. You may catch cold by using an unwashed glass, spoon or fork, which has been used by some- one with a cold. The germs may be on your hands because you have touched something which has been handled by the person with a cold. People who take cold without catching it from other people are most often those who have poor circulation or a local infection in the nose or throat, or who do not live according to certain of the rules of hygiene. When your head stops up, your back and legs ache, your eyes burn, when there is a tickling or soreness in the throat, and you have other signs of a cold, such as sneezing or a running nose, you should start treatments right away. Very few colds would develop into serious ill- ness if the person who has the cold were wise enough to take proper care of himself the first day or two. Rest in bed, if possible, or at least indoors, particularly if you feel weak, as weakness may be ‘a sign of influenza. Take a laxa- tive. Drink plenty of cold water and eat lightly of simple, nourish- ing food. Breathing steam, if the doctor advises it, may relieve the stopped up feeling. At night, before going to bed, take a hot bath or at least a hot foot bath. As soon as you have rubbed yourself dry, cover up in bed with extra blankets so that you can sweat the cold out of your system. A hot drink, such as hot lemonade, will help you perspire. Some of the tablets sold as rem- edies for colds contain drugs that are bad for the heart and blood and may cause a drug habit. Cold tablets or any other medicine should not be taken, except when ordered by doctor. Do not use a nasal douche, un- less advised by the doctor, and do not blow the nose too hard. If you do, the infection may spread to other parts of the head, or to the tubes leading to the ears. Isolation rules should be kept for a cold because it is very contagious and serious sickness may follow it and because it may be the beginning of a more serious disease in its most infectious stage. Always cough or sneeze into a handkerchief {which should be boiled to kill germs before it is washed), or a cloth or paper napkin that can be burned so that you will not give your cold to others. Dishes, includ- ing drinking glasses, used by the person with a cold should be kept separate from those used by the rest of the family, or boiled. It is probable that colds are also trans- “mitted by handshaking. Rheumatism, tuberculosis, heart «disease, sinus infection, kidney “trouble, chronic sore throat and ‘nasal affections may have their be- ginning in a cold or in the flu. Many deaf people can trace their deafness to a cold. If you have an earache or an ' abscess in the ear, see a doctor. Infection may cause serious trouble. When, besides the general symp- toms of a cold, you have a fever and your back and legs ache badly, you are probably taking the grippe, or influenza. You should call a doc- tor at once. The grippe, or flu, is dangerous not only because pneu- monia often follows, but because of other troubles which may result. —When muscularly fatigued, a bath or a rub-down is far better than drugs. When mentally fatigued (real fatigue, not mere boredom, which should be corrected by work and change,) rest and sleep are the remedies, not stimulants. BAD ENGLISH TABOOED IN BOSTON COLLEGE Use of the so-called English” frequently heard in the average American college of today, will prove a stumbling block in the future to girls intending to graduate from the Boston University of Prac- tical Arts and Letters. From now on, according to Dean T. Lawrence Davis, “each girl must be able to wirte good English, which will be grammatically correct, properly punctuated and clearly ex- pressed.” A series of tests will serve as a medium of measure. In making the announcement that all seniors must pass certain tests in English before they will be graduated from the B. U. woman's college, Dean Davis declared that “atrocious MODERN MARKSMEN REVIVE ANCIENT SPORT. The turkey shoot, an American sport which dates back to colonial days, has been revived. According to reports received by the Nation- al Rifle Association rifle clubs all over the country are conducting these shoots. In the old days, the targets were live turkeys confined in boxes from which only the head protruded. Nowadays, however, the targets are colored pictures of fine, plump gobblers. The prizes are real turkeys. The method of advertising the matches has not changed radi- this step has been taken following ' a comprehensive survey - of the needs of English in the Fusiness field. “For some time,” Dean Davis said, “it has been apparent that a girl who is trained thoroughly for business should have ability to write well. She should understand toe proper use of punctuation. Her spelling should be accurate. She ought to recognjze the rarest as well as the most common gramma- tical errors. With the purpose of radically improving this phase of our prep- aration, we have adopted at the college of practical arts and letters a somewhat unusual series of tests. These tests will be given regularly several times a year. Each girl will repeat these tests until she passes satisfactorily. “Every instructor at the has been requested poorly expressed English. When such a paper is found it is passed to the newly formed Committee on Good English. The girl's name then returns to the list of those who are scheduled for the next special test. It is expected that this practice will result in less carelessness in writing. “While this arrangement is made for the benefit of the poor student in English, another plan has been college to watch for adopted for the beenfit of the pro. ficient writer. This is designed to stimulate an interest in English writing through the publication of the best material submitted by the students.” SOLICITORS MUST HAVE LICENSES TO SOLICIT Exposing themselves to the possi- bility of arrest and prosecution un- der the terms of the act which governs the solicitation of moneys and property for charitable, relig- ious, benevolent, humane and patri- otic purposes, many organizations coming under the provisions of this act are operating without certifi cate from the bureau of assistance, State Department of Welfare. Most of these organizations are entitled to hold these certificates which will permit them to solicit funds legally. Certificates issued last year were valid until December 31, 1929, after which application should be made to the Department of Welfare for certificates covering operations for 1930. Any organiza- tion soliciting funds without a certificate is subjecting itself to the possibility of legal action even though its purpose in the solicita- tion may come within the provi- sions of the solicitation act. Mrs. McCauley in her warning called attention to the section of the act wihch applies to these or- ganizations: “An act relating to the solicitation of moneys and prop- erty for charitable, religious, benev- olent, humane, and patriotic pur- poses makes it unlawful for any person, co-partnership, association, or corporation except in accordance with the provisions of the act to appeal to the public for donations or subscriptions in money or other property, to sell or offer for sale to the public anything or object what- ever to raise money, or to secure or attempt to secure money or do- nations or other property by pro- moting any public bazaar, sale, etc. for any charitable, benevolent, patriotic purpose etc, unless tne appeal is authorized by and the money or other property is to be given to a corporation, co-partner- ship, association, or individual hold- ing a valid certificate or registra- tion from the Department of Wel- fare issued as provided by theact.” teres prs ts INSECTS FURNISH SHELLAC. More than 15,000 tons of shellac are imported into this country each year. This important substance is used in making phonograph rec- ords, iadios, electric apparatus and many other objects. Even sealing wax, furniture polish, lacquer and “ghellac* itself are made from the original shellac, the product of a tiny scale insect known to science as the “carteria laca.” Believe it or not, but the entire shellac industry that is carried on today, practical- ly as it was thousands of years ago, depends on the life of this tiny in- sect. It is a remarkable creature. It makes shellac not unlike the hon- ey bee makes its honey. Because of its importance this insect is cultivated in the northern part of India. These insects live in millions there. They make any kind of tree their home. These insects have tiny lancet mouths with which they pierce the bark of the tree and suck the sap from it, as the sap pass- es through their bodies it is chang- ed into shellac and excreted thus. The natives break off these shellac encrusted branches and sell it as “stick lac” in its natural state. It varies in color from amber to black. Before it is shipped to this country it is separated from the twigs by melting. So now, you sign shop boys, if the instructor asks you where shellac comes from you can tell him. mm ———— A ——— Lucy—*“How does my dress look?” Lionel: —“It looks to me like two week's salary.” cally in 150 years. In colonial days crudely-lettered signs were hung in front of the village store or tavern to announce the impending contest. Today signs are stretched across roadways leading to the range. Sportsmen from miles around flock to the shoot. The man with the high score wins the turkey. Some clubs award forty or fifty turkeys in one days’s shooting. The Palo Alto Rod and Gun Club, | Palo Alto, Cal. puts ona novel match in which even the non-shooter has a chance at the bird. A sheet of paper is covered with twenty cir- cles the size of a silver dollar. Each circle sells for 25 cents, and the purchaser’s name is written within the circle. When all are sold, one person is selected to fire a shotgun charge at the target. The person whose name is on the spot contain- ing the most pellet holes wins the turkey. This match attracts large numbers of sporting housewives, Our ancestors would be shocked at the news that today turkey sells for 50 or 60 cents a pound, for in 1682 30-pound gobblers were sold for a shilling each—less than one cent a pound. However, game was plentiful then—so plentiful, in fact, that as late as 1720 a fine of five shillings was imposed on any one shooting wild game on the streets of Philadelphia.

Originally—thousands of years ago —all of this species were green. A Chinese species which showed gold spots was carefuly bred and, through selection from one genera- tion to another, a pure gold strain resulted. —Should hats match scarves or should scarves match with the cloth used for the gown is the question in fashionable circles to- | day. Many advocate wearing the scarf, bag and hat in the same design and shade as the gown and this seems to be the prevailing mode.

It is used in the mash as a source of protein. —Remember, a start in turkeys costs no more than a start of any breed of chickens; there is always a good market for your turkeys. —Early hatching of chickens this spring and proper handling of the pullets will bring them into laying condition next fall during the months of high-priced eggs. —Market premium for high-quali- ty eggs has aroused an interest in larger egg size. There are inherited tendencies toward large and small eggs. Careful selection at time of placing eggs in the incubator should contribute to the improvement of the size of the eggs of a flock. —Freedom from disease is essen- tial to growing a large percentage of the chicks hatched. Choose eggs from disease-free parents, or if you buy back chicks get them from flocks known to be free from bacil- lary white diarrhea. —Plants of certain vegetable crops may be started in late winter or early spring in sunny windows, a hotbed, or a coldframe. This practice enables the gardner to have plants well advanced when the weather permits planting in the open ground. Good plants also re- sult in earlier maturity and larger yields of most crops. —Showing how to provide con- venient arrangement of appropriate furniture, use a harmonious color scheme, and make care and clean- ing easy, the Girl's Own Room project has improved thousands farm girl’s rooms at low cost. Your county home economics extension representative can explain the plans. —For lightning protection, it is well to ground to earth every elec- tric entrance to any farm building on the outside even though the sys- tem is connected to a water pipe on the inside. —Garden arbors often can be us- ed to screen unsightly objects, These can be made easily at home now and set out later. Vines, such as climbing roses, clematis, polygo- num, and wistaria, may be planted in the spring and trained over the arbor. —Exercise, sunshine, good water, clean surroundings, and plenty of green succulent feed are nature's tonics for young pigs. Provide these for the infant porkers. —Black raspberries should be sprayed every year for the control of anthracnose and other fungous diseases, say State College plant specialists. Spray other branches as they need it. —~Commerical fertilizer for the garden should be suited to the par- ticular needs of the soil. On light to medium soils, where only a small amount of manure has been | applied, a good fertilizer is one analyzing about 5 per cent nitrogen, 10 per cent phosphorous, and 5 per cent potash. On medium to heavy soils, with a heavy application of manure, a fertilizer containing about 4 per cent nitrogen, 12 per cent phosphorous, and 4 per cent potash generally is the most profitable. —Weeding and thinning the wood- lot every 10 years is the usual prac- tice followed by farmers who want to develop a stand of tall, straight trees free from decay or rot. To divide the work up best it is advis- able to go over one-tenth of the farm woods each winter. —In two record-breaking dry summers the ability of the Pennsyl- vania State College orchard plots to withstand drouths has been in proportion to the amount of organic matter turned into them. The short sod rotation plots which were un- der cultivation last year grew the heaviest cover crop in the orchard. —Twelve cows are being used by the Institute of Animal Nutrition at State College in an experiment to determine the efficiency of the cow in changing feed into milk. —Dead chickens pay no bills. Use of clean practices means more live chicks and better profits. San- 'itation will save one more chicksin five than will live under dirty con- ditions. —All lightning rods should be at least six feet away from electric wires and conduits to prevent side- flashing. This also includes any metal connected to the rods and radio lead-ins. —Poultry paralysis is so far an incurable disease, the cause of which is unknown, says the Oregon experi- ment station. Where the disease is . present, the station urges rigid sani- tation in rearing next year’s young stock as possible preventive mea- sures. Important factors to bear in mind in this connection are brood- ing on concrete or wire, and remov- | ing the fowls immediately after the, brooding period to land not previous- ly used for poultry. —Subscribe for the Watchman. { 1 | | { of | = We Offer Subject to Market Changes: per 100lb 4.50 Quaker.
