Your H ealth
THE FIRST CONCERN.
(Exasperated with a thousand cranky
health theories, ¢Lucio,” in the Man-
chester Guardian, gave vent to this
ironic poetry after hearing the following
“health hint” by a London Lecturer:
«The teeth should not be brushed across
or up and down both ways, as is usual-
ly, done.”)
My child, if you would shine today,
Attend with care to what I say.
The modern rule for health and bliss
May briefly be described as this:
Whatever you have ever done
Assume that it is wrong, my son;
Whatever you have done before
You must not do it any more.
Don’t brush your teeth across or down,
Or up; it makes the expert frown.
(To keep them fit as any fiddle,
Brush back and part them in the middle.)
Rich foods internal ills provoke;
Lunch lightly off some well-boiled coke.
Avoid the soap and water trick;
Just scrub yourself with powdered brick.
An upright posture strains the head;
Try walking on the hands instead.
When influenza reappears
Try breathing deeply through the ears.
Thus every day and every way
Give modern methods fuller play.
Try writing letters with your toes
And hearing through your eyes and nose.
But, more important far than that,
Oh, keep on talking through your hat!
USE TOWEL ONLY ONCE, MICROBE
HUNTERS WARN.
Beware of using the towel wrong-
ly!
The serviceable and innocent look-
ing towel is often the nursery and
lodging house of myriads of disease
germs.
It is wrong to use the same towel
twice. It is most wrong to use a
towel in common, among two or
more persons.
The new commandments
science of hygiene are:
«Use not our friend's towel. Use
one towel only once. Communal or
repeated use of the towel must be
banned by bacteriological orders!”
All this results from the tests re-
cently made by two microbe hun-
ters, Doctors Herbert.D. Pease and
Lester C. Himebaugh, of the Pease
Laboratory.
In the experiment, several persons
wiped their hands upon sterile
towels. Germ cultures were obtain-
ed from these towels, before and
after the hand-wiping. Counts were
made of these germs, after each
use of the towel.
Doctors Pease and Himebaugh
made some startling discoveries.
They found that infectious germs
are easily transferred, in increasing
varieties and numbers, through the
use of common towel, and that even
after twenty-four hours of drying,
the towel retains living and wicked-
ly active germs. :
Some of the most dangerous dis.
ease germs survive as long as for-
ty-eight hours after the towel had
been used, and apparently had dried.
If the same towel is used twice by
the same person, the user is aptto
be readily re-infected by the germs.
The investigators also ascertained
that the Turkish towel removes dirt
and germs from the body more
thoroughly than does either the
huck or paper variety of towel.
These tests show the safety of using
one towel just once. Then it should
be boiled to kill the germs. After-
ward it can be dried for further use.
SCIENCE FINDS ANEMIA CURE IN
HOG’S STOMACH.
Stomach of hog, when eaten as
dry powder, cures pernicious anemia.
This announcement of a new
treatment for anemia, as effective
as the well-known liver cure, is
made by Doctors Raphael Isaacs
and Cyrus C. Sturgis, of the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
According to these scientists hog
stomach is chopped up into fine bits,
dried and deprived of all its fat. In
this half powder form it can be
eaten by the patient.
Since most people do not like the
taste or flavor of this material, the
doctors give it mixed in tomato
juice, It can be imbibed mixed in
water. Another way of consuming
it is as a thick puree.
The work of Drs. Isaac and Sturgis
is supported by similar experiments
made by several other investigators
like H. M. Conner and J. F.
Wilkinson.
Stomach of beef also was tested,
but it did not have the potency that
the hog stomach had. In tests, the
beef stomach preparation failed to
remedy anemia.
Doctors Isaac and Sturgis de-
scribe their preparation thus:
“Hog stomachs are collected. Their
gross fat and mesentery are re-
moved mechanically. Then the ma-
terial is dessicated or chopped fine.
Its potency is not lost if it is 12
to 18 hours old before its dessica-
tion begins, The fat is removed, af-
te chopping, with pretoleum ben-
zin.
“Finally the stuff appears as a
dry, granular powder that swells up
in water, but does not dissolve.”
One of the patients of pernicious
anemia was cured by the use of
in the

These Men will Vote to Repeal the Obnoxious Tax Law that Scott and Holmes Yoted For.
this preparation, taking some fifteen
grams of it daily.
Doctors Issacs and Sturgis say:
«Some 14 to 15 grams of this
material represents 100 grams of
the fresh stomach of the hogs. The
best dosage is 10 grams daily for
each million deficit in the red blood
cells count.
«When the count of the red blood
cells rise up to 4% to 5 millions
per cubic millimeter, the 10 grams
dose should be maintained five to
seven times a week.
“The stuff might be taken with
or between meals. The results of
the treatment begin to appear in
the first week. To start, the pa-
tient’s appetite improves and he
feels generally better. Second week
shows an incrase in his red cor-
puscles. Afterwards the red cells
and hemoglobin of the blood increase,
and that can be counted. When
taking this treatment, patients need
not eat a meat diet,”
While the liver treatment for per-
nicious anemia is just as effective,
the hog stomach treatment is less
costly, and perhaps more palatable.

HANDS MOIST? BLAME
WORRY NOT MERCURY,
An exercise in mental arithmetic
makes the socks and the gloves wet
with perspiration.
Indeed, any kind of mental stress
quickens the action of the sweat
glands in the palms of the hands
and the soles of the feet more than
an acutal rise of temperature.
This is reported by Dr. Yas Kuno,
of the Manchuria University, Muk-
den, in the “Lancet.”
For eight years this scientist has
been studying the significance of
perspiration. He has discovered im-
portant principles of the relation
between ithe phenomenon of sweating
and the welfare of the active human
systm.
He finds sweat glands most thick-
ly congregated in the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet. In-
sensible perspiration comes out of
these when the body is not partic-
ularly heated. Any sort of local
sensation, like mental stress, quick-
ly increases the perspiration of palms
and soles, g
Dr. Kuno used mental arithemetic
in his tests to determine the con-
nection between mental strain and
perspiration.
These investigations reveal the
nature of skin, as the mirror of the
whole body, responding quickly and
variedly to the different bodily needs
and moods.
DESIRE FOR BOOTLEG LIQUOR
LAID TO LACK OF RAW FOOD
Americans eat too much cooked
food. That is why they drink so
much bootleg liquor.
So said Dr. Benjamin G. Hauser,
Vienna food chemist, on his arrival
yesterday on the Lloyd Sabuda
liner Conte Biancamano. He is
here to lecture to Amercian audi-
ences on this subject and to tell
President Hoover if he can, how to
solve the prohibition question.
Dr. Hauser maintains that a nat-
ural appetite for good liquor can
only be stimulated in the human
body by fresh foods. He explained:
“A potato in its raw state is a
living thing. It contains sun power,
8
But peel and cook it and it be-
comes dead. It is not fit then to
be eaten.
“What human beings need is fresh
food— the products that come from
nature’s kitchens. Let them eat
the right kind of food.
“A person who eats fresh things
could mot toucha drop of American
booze. He might have an appetite
for wine or champagne. But they
would not be harmful to him.”
MOTOR TAGS FOR 1931
TO BE NON-LUMINOUS.
The State is experimenting witha
device which may frustrate the ef-
fects of hit-run drivers and other
night-time criminals who endeavor
to escape detection by turning off
lights as they speed away in auto-
mobiles.
The State is experimenting with a
cense plate on which the distin-
guishing numerals and letters have
been chromium plated to make them
luminous at night. Before plating
the raised numerals and letters have
been roughened slightly and stamp-
ed with a criss-cross die so that
beams of light may be picked up
at any angle.
If adopted for general use, the
faintest light is expected to make
ithe tag visible on a fleeing car even
if its lights have been extinguishd.
The numerals on the front license
tag also are expected to be visible
at night despite their proximity to
headlights.
Preliminary (tests indicate the
plated tags may be satisfactory.
The motor patrol has been making
visibility tests between the present
tags and those which have
plated. The genuine itest, however,
is being made by police of the va-
rious cities, who are more accus-
tomed to searching for certain num-
bers on tags than members of the
motor patrol. To conduct tests,
sample license tags have been sent
to various cities for use on automo-
biles operated at night. State offi-
cials are awaiting the reaction of
city police to the tags.
Even if found satisfatory, the
chromium plated characters will
not appear on tags issued for 1931.
The 1931 tags have all been manu-
factured and distribution of them
will start next month. Orders will
be placed shortly for 1932 tags, and
if the tests are satisfactory and the
incoming administration approves, it
may be that in 1932 Pennsylvania's
license plates will be of the luminous
design.
Should the silver-colored charac-
ters be adopted, it would necessitate
a change in the color scheme which
Pennsylvania has used on its tags
for many years. The State's colors,
blue and gold, have formed the com-
bination, for more ‘than a decade,
blue blackground and yellow «num-
erals alternating with the reverse
arrangement. Should the numerals
always be silver-colored, it is likely
the blue background would be used
one year and the gold background
the following year.
The = Scate’s tests have dem-
onstrated that the chromium plating
gives desired results on road signs
and markers, especially for night
driving. Numerals of traffic routes,
warnings of danger spots, and di-
rection signs are more easily legible
at night where the criss-crossed
plating has been tried. State offi-
cials report it is better than any-
thing yet tried to produce visibility
from an angle. The plated signs,
they add, are cheaper than the
“Cat eye” signs which gives words
and figures the appearance of being
lighted in road signs as rays of
headlights strike them.
Pennsylvania is the forerunner in
experimenting with tags which will
be luminous at night.

DIVORCE TOTALS ONE_SIXTH
LESS THAN NUPTIALS.
Totals for 42 States and the Dis-
trict of Columbia indicate that na-
tion-wide figures will show about
six times as many marriages as
divorces in 1929,
New York has most marriages,
121,535 but its 5,161 divorces is far
from the top. Pennsylvania had 10
times more marriages than divorces.

JOHN G.
“ELIZABETH THE QUEEN”
A THEATRE GUILD SHOW.
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne to
Present the New Maxwell Anderson
Play at the Nixon in Pittsburgh
mous lady of English history about
whom countless novels, songs and
plays have been written, will be
played by Miss Lynn Fontanne in
the new Maxwell Anderson play,
“Elizabeth the Queen” which comes
to the Nixon Theatre, Pittsburgh,
Monday, October 20th, as the third
play in the series of five which the
Theatre Guild sends to Pittsburgh,
this, its third season there. Mr.
Anderson’s play deals with Eliz-
abeth’s ‘last romance, that with Rob-
ert, Duke of Essex, played by Al-
fred Lunt in the Theatre Guild pro-
duction. Pittsburgh audiences will
| see this brilliant piece prior to the
| New York opening late in October.
There is a large cast of 50 players
lin “Elizabeth the Queen.” Philip
i Moeller, production director for the
| Guild, was the director of this new
| Anderson play and the settings
| which operate upon a revolving stage
are by Lee Simpson. Others in the
cast include: Morris Carnovsky as
Sir Franics Bacon, Percy Waram, as
Sir Walter Raleigh, Anita Kerry, as
Penelope, a loose lady-in-waiting,
Arthur Hughes as Lord Cecil and
Erskine Sanford as Lord Burgheley.
There have been other plays
about Queen Elizabeth but in the
Maxwell Anderson play you will see
her for the first time as a human,
understandable character. The dia-
“Elizabeth the Queen,” is one of the
foremost figures among the Ameri-
can dramatists and has written
“Saturday's Children,” “White Des-
ert,” “Gypsy”
with Laurence Stallings, who dra-
matized “Farewell to Arms,’ he
did “What Price Glory?” “First
Flight” and “The Buccaneer,” With
Harold Hickerson he did “Gods _of
the Lightning.” »
WET ROADS ARE CAUSE
OF MANY ACCIDENTS
Throughout Pennsylvania attaches
trouble when rain begins to fall.
The combination of wet pavements
and bad judgment on part of driv-
ers is deadly, according to Benja-
min G. Eynon, commissioner of
motor vehicles.
“In wet weather,” said Commis-
sioner Eynon, “motorists become
even more careless than usual,
strange as it may seem, Ajax
defied the lightning, but it remained
for thoughtless moderns to defy the
result of the rainstorm.
“Even modern types of road sur-
faces are slippery in wet weather,
but one would not think so, judging
from the manner in which the ope-
rators of carsand trucks drive over
them at top speed. Tires of to-
day are wonderfully non-skid, and
brakes very efficient, but nothing
manufactured by man cam success-
‘fully combat the law of momentum,
nor can the law of gravity be for-
ever defied.
“Reports of accidents increase in
astonishing degree after every rain
storm. I suggest therefore,
for their own safety, and for the
way users, motor vehicle drivers
endeavor to be sensible in wet
weather. Only once or twice in a
hundred thousand cases is it neces-
faster than is safe under existing
conditions. The average speed-
merchant has no excuse for high
speed.

to find ithat Mr. Oliver Whidden was
! still in the reception room, but he
‘went out without saying a word, and
. when Miss Smith came in and saw
Mr. Whidden she was astonished
| and said several words, in consec-
utive order. “Did you forget some-
thing Mr. Whidden?”
“No,” replied Mr. Whidden, “I
remembered something. I remem-
ber it was four weeks ago Wednes-
day when I first saw you, the day
before you met Mr. Blatzerman. I
also remember that Harry Hector,
whom you know, told me you in-
| advertently said Mr. Blatzerman'’s
| dental work would mean something
{to a third panty—and consequently
I want to thank you for aiding me
in a business way. Don’t I owe
you something?”
“You owe me nothing pecuniary,”
calmly responded Miss Georgiana
Smith, doffing her white apron and
cap, “but you may deign to offer
remuneration in the shape of some
revised opinions regarding the pur-
porited decadence of modern woman-
hood.
“I am willing to admit I over-
heard your pyrotechnics a few
moments before first we met. But
ponder: it is barely possible that
in the stress of modern business and
professional competition a woman's
help may really be needed to aug-
ment a man’s—her husband's or
prospective husband’s and that with
such loyal cooperation they can
probably save enough out of their
joint earnings to establish a nice
home, in which ultimately the lady
can retire and raise a fine family,
while tthe husband naturally con-
tinues to carry on outside. Kindly
open wid your tolerant mind, Mr.
Whidden.”
“Miss Smith,” Mr. Oliver Whidden
rejoined earnestly, “my mind has
just opened wide and will remain
that way permanently.
“I wonder,” he appended humbly,
“if you will be so genrous as to
favor me with a date tomorrow
night ?”
“What,” countered Miss Georgiana
Smith sweetly, “did you think Ihad
been needlessly filling and refilling
that one tooth for, over and over
again? Oh, Oliver, someone may
see us!”
'
ONLY ONE SURE SIGN
OF DEATH, SAYS EXPERT.
Medical science knows only one
reliable test of whether or not a
person is dead, according to Sir
Bernard Spiisbury, medical expert
to Scotland Yard and authority on
criminology. This test is to open
an artery and see whether it bleeds
as a living artery should. Says
Dr. E. E. Free, in his week’s Science
(New York).
“Mere stoppage of the heart, Sir
Bernard pointed out, does not nec-
essarily mean death, for many in-
dividuals have beenrevived by med-
ical or surgical means after the
heart had stopped for a matter of
minutes. Absence of breathing is
another unreliable sign, for many
drowned people and others have
been resuscitatea after many min-
utes without breath. The use of
the one reliable sign of opening an
artery, Sir Bernard said, is seldom
resorted to except at the specific
request of the dead person, expres-
sed before death because of the
{ not uncommon fear of being buried
| alive. The artery test can net be
applied by anybody, but requires
trained medical skill both to find
the artery and to open it, and also
to interpret what happens when the
opening is made. But there is
little probability, Sir Bernard agrees
with other experts, that any id
| will be buried alive,”
