Your Health
THE FIRST CONCERN.
~ He who has health is rich and
does not know it.—Italian Proverb.
Ultra Violet Light and its Health
Value.—In recent years, ultra-violet
light therapy has been going
through an experimental stage. It
now seems as though a new hope
in disease has arisen in the effective
uge of these life giving rays.
Everywhere experiments are being
made. Recently, in London, im-
portant experiments in cases of
skin tuberculosis seem to have
brought gratifying results through
the . use of ultra-violet radiation.
Special lamps, known as
mercury vapour lamps” and
bon arc lamps” were used,
The rays are applied to as large
an area as possible. Not only is
the affected part flooded with the
light, but also the doctors have
given general treatments of the
body.
In the treatment of some diseases
of the mouth, throat and nasal
passages, the rays have been ap-
plied. It has been generally rec-
ognized that ailments of the mucous
membranes are less satisfactory to
deal with than those of the skin.
This may be, becaue they are much
more difficult to reach.
The germs of tuberculosis, in the
majority of cases, it is probable
enter through the nose. They are
then spread to other parts of the
body, to the cheek, or to the skin
of the face. Of course, there are
many other skin troubles than those
due to tuberculosis.
It has been puzzling to know why
ultra-violet rays exert such marked
beneficial effects in skin tuberculo-
sis. The sore places in this diseae
are deep-seated. In spite of this the
new treatment has been helpful.
Further investigation of ultra-
violet light action will, no doubt
lead to other interesting results.
Some cases of lowered resistance,
and even depression of health, have
oeen found after exposure to ultra-
violet light. On this account, care
should be taken to guard against
ts use in suitable cases. That is
why a doctor should be consulted.
I have no doubt that sunlight is
»ssential to health. There are in it
‘hese wonderful ultra-violet rays,
Unfortunately, not everybody has
access every day to the life-giving
ight. Indoor workers are denied
ts benefits. Bad weather inter-
‘eres.
The inventors are never daunted.
[n the face of every obstacle they
jolve the puzzling problems. By
reason of their work the mysteries
»f disease are being solved.
The modern lamps that supply the
1ltra-violet rays in great streams
)f life-giving energy are among the
wonders of the age. Properly ap-
lied these ‘treatrients do much
yo0od. Not only do they help local
vilments but they add to the gen-
ral healfh and vigor.
We have increased the average
»xpectations of life by adding four-
een years, but there are fewer old
yeople living today than there were
ifty years ago.
Fifty years ago there was a
yopulation - f a little more than
ifty million people in the United
states, four thousand of whom were
centenarians. At the present time,
vith nearly twice the population of
ifty years ago, thereare only 2,841
yeople who have reached the age
f one hundred years.
“Preventive measures for good
iealth” is the watchword now.
Chere is many a person who, if he
vould have a physical examination
egularly at least oncea year, would
ive to a Food old age.
A well known physician recently
aid that, in his opinion, the evi-
lence of widespread premature
hysical decay is shown by our
ital statisties. It is confirmed by
ctual examinations of large groups
f supposedly healthy young people.
The most important work facing
he_ medical profession today is to
ring cases like these as early as
wossible under medical guidance
nd proper methods of living. This
ecessitates help from the individ-
al himself.
Mr. Edison, at eighty, has said:
“Diet is the chief secret of
ealth. People eat too much and
rink too much.”
Americans are prone to eat many
hings at one meal. We eat many
ighly seasoned foods and this leads
o overeating. Overeating is one
f the chief causes of disease.
The Bulgarians are one of the
ealthiest of races and their long
‘fe is proabbly due to the simple
ood they eat. We should get back
o the simple and wholesome food
f fifty years ago.

During a certain Church confer-
ence one of the speakers saw fit to
launch into a tirade against univer-
sities, expressing gratification that
he had never been corrupted by con-
tact with a college.
When he had been talking for
some time the chairman interrupted.
“Do I understand the gentleman
is grateful for his ignorance?”
“Yes,” was the answer, “if you
want to put it that way.”
“Then,” continued the chairman
sweetly, “all I have to say is that
you have much to be thankful for.”

“DEACON” LITZ TO RACE
AT ALTOONA JUNE 14,
“Deacon” Litz, America’s fastest
speed king, is roaring through gaso- |
line alley this year to the end of |
the rainbow trail leading to the!
dream of every race jockey—Daytona
Beach. !
When the winds whip the water
over the 10 mile beach next Febru-
ary as mother nature prepares her
velvet carpet of speed for those
who dare laugh at fate, this big!
fellow from DuBois, Pa. will re-|
turn to the shore line that brought |
him recognition as the fastest Amer-
ican driver.
And when he returns to those
sands, America will see written
the final chapter in one of the
most amazing accounts of success gi
along cylinder lane’s rainbow trail.
For this fellow’s rise has been of
the story book type. Only three
years ago he was an obscure dirt
track driver playing the fairs and
other small time bull pen circuits.
Ambitious to get in with the
championship drivers, Litz entered
the semi-pro event run as a
preliminary at Altoona’s 200 mile
championship classic on Labor day,
1927. From then on his success
took care of itself. He made a
good impression with the ‘big time”
crowd and the following year re-
turned with a Miller special to run
in the big event. At Indianapolis |
last year Litz lead the field for 52,
laps until his motor gave way.
|
Three years have elapsed since |
Litz came out from the obscure |
“pull pen” circuit to get his first
“break.” One year has passed since
one of Lady Fate’s peculiar tricks
cheated him of an opportunity to
become holder of the world’s speed
but only a few short
months remain until Litz receives
the checkered flag at the end of
his drive of the Rainbow Trail,
Daytona Beach.
SINGING FOR EXERCISE.
Besides being a pleasure
singer and sometimes to those
around, the act of singing is a bet-
ter exercise than most persons have
any thought of. It is good exercise
for the throat, lungs and chest and
now it is recommended for the ears.
A western physician who is called
upon to do a great deal of driving
over the country says that aftér a
particularly hard experiment of this
kind, his ears always seem to be
affected, probably by the noise of
the car and vibration of the en-
ne. In this event he raises up his
voice and sings to the best of his
ability and this treatment soon re-
lieves the ears.

FUR FARMERS GET
MILLION FOR PELTS,
Fur farming in Manitoba is mak-
ing big strides, the last available
figures showing 230 farms in the
province as compared with 12 in
1923 and two in 1920.
In the last fiscal year pelts to
the value of $1,286,537 were taken
in the province, muskrats being the
most numerous, numbering 238,004
‘with a value of $285,204. The rest
in order of importance, were weasel
mink and wolf.
Our Bobby was in a store with
his mother when he was given
candy by one of the clerks.
“What must you say, Bobbie?”
“Charge it,” he replied.
