Your Health
THE FIRST CONCERN.
Prominent Men Give Advice on
Health
Six rules for health were pro-
pounded by Secretary Wilbur in a
radio address.
He recommended: Breathe pure,
moist air day and night. See that
you have plenty of rest and sleep.
Bat of a rightly balanced diet with
sufficient foods of the well known
varieties. Keep the body clean in-
side and out, Be cheerful and
kindly in spirit. Avoid worry,
Thomas Alva Edison last week in
Review of Reviews gave the follow-
ing: —
Ee there certain definite fields in
which the research of the future
will lie?
“Yes, health through biology and
chemistry. Sickness is pretty hard
on the workman now. It's hard for
them to get a good doctor, and the
proper care is expensive. There is
too much sickness, too. Something
will have to be done about it, and
that is where biology and chemistry
come in.
“I have been experimenting with
milk now for about eight years.
For the last three years I have
taken hardly anything else. Icame
in with milk (he chuckled) and I
guess I'll go out with it. It's the
Great Chemist, who is far away.”
(He raised his stubby pencil over
his head, toward the ceiling.)
Will science tell us to eat less, as
it has told us to drink less?
“Eighty per cent of our deaths
are due to over-eaving, After the
age of 21 a large variety and quan-
tity of food is unnecessary All
those things crowd the stomach and
cause ns. It takes courage to
learn restraint, but all that eating
is unnecessary. I find that my
weight keeps up on a glass of milk
alone, every two hours. You eat
less, yet you find your weight keeps
up, and you feel better. Mrs.
Edison tried it, always taking less
and less, until (again the chuckle)
she said she would have to stop,
otherwise she wouldn't be eating
anything at all, but would still feel
fine.”
What does
mean to you?
Is it a day of regrets, or one of
hopeful outlook? What is your at-
titude toward the coming year?
It is the ambition, the imagina-
tion,
makes him different from the lower
animals.
He can plan, and, having planned,
can make his dream come true.
One of the comforting facts of
today is that the horrid concoctions,
medicines and local applications of
the other days have been thrown in-
to the rubbish heap,
They have been aiscarded by all
thinking persons, They did very
well in the ignorant past, but in
1931 we are more enlightened.
Right living is known now to be
more important than all the pre-
scriptions that can be written, S-
the New Year day
ease and death are defeated by pre-'
serving the body, rather than by
“curing” it or repairing it
There will never come a time
when the family physician, and the
specialists, too, will not be needed.
But more and more, their task will
be to keep us well, not to get us
well.
By their timely advice we shall
be turned away from practices that
resulted in harm.
We should thank Almighty God
that we live in 1931, not 1831, 1731,
or any other '31. This is a won-
derful age.
It has given us scientific know-
ledge of remedial agents, marvel-
ous instruments of precision, un-
dreamed of manual skill, and me-
chanical and electrical devices, which
mean everything to our physical
welfare. It has set our minds at
rest, clearing them of superstitions,
traditions and silly beliefs.
On the health side of life, there
never was another time when a year
could be faced with greater confi-
dence.
Progress is being made in the
control of cancer, tuberculosis,
Bright's disease, the ailments of
heart and blood vessels, and, indeed,
in almost every human ailment.
Infancy and old age are being
guarded against disease.
In every age group increasing
knowledge is lessening human suf-
fering. Let us do our full part this
year to live up to the new health
knowledge, Good health is largely
our individual problem and when it
is so considered it wil be kept by
everybody,
Let us face 1931 with a firm and
steadfast determination to live
rightly.
The liver cure for pernicious
anemia has been recognized by the
leading American scientists as one
of the current achievements of
science that has proved to the ut-
most benefit to humanity.
Dr. Geo. H. Whipple of Rochester
University, and Dr. Geo. R Minot of
Harvard Medical School, are the
scientists who discovered the liver
treatment for primary anemia. Now
they have been awarded $5,000 each
from the $10,000 annual award Dr.
George H. Hipple established by the
Popular Science Monthly. Among
the scientists on the committee of
these awards were: Doctors R. A.
Milikan, W. W. Campbell, retired
president
John C. Merriam, director Carnegie
Institute; Charles G. Abbott, Smith-
sonian Institute, and others of
the foresight of man that,
of California University;
world-wide fame.
While the liver treatment for
pernicious anemia is now generally
known, the present awards recall
the less known history of the devel-
opment of this research.
Dr. Whipple, when he was at the
Kooper Research Institute in San
Francisco, started experiments on
dogs. He bled down dogs until
they had a severe anemia, which
consists in a great deficiency of the
red blood cells. He tried to keep
these weakened animals, by feeding
them various diets, He found that
raw liver was superior to any other
food in restoring the lost blood cells
of the anemic animals,
Dr. Minot followed up the clue
left by Dr. James Homer Wright
that pernicious anemia was caused
by a tumor-like disease of the mar-
row of the bones. Red blood cor-
puscles are believed to be manufac-
tured in bone-marrow.
He found that diabetic patients
had undernourished themselves in re-
gard to proteins. They did not eat
enough meat and green vegetables.
Dr. Minot searched for some food
rich in vitamins and proteins. Such
a food was liver. In 1926, Dr.
Minot announced he had treated
forty-five pernicious anemia cases
with calf liver.
Whipple and Minot thus started
the medical clinics and labor-
atory experiments on a trail which
resulted in the virtual control of
pernicious anemia through proper
dieting. Now the active substances
of liver can be had in condensed
form They are more powerful and
less objectionable in taste than raw
liver,

NEED MORE FUNDS
TO SAVE PINES
Congress being asked to almost
double the funds available for fight-
ing white pine blister rust, one of
the most serious of the diseases that
afflict evergreen trees in this coun-
try, and raise the American lumber
bil! year by year.
The sum appropriated in the bill
which has just passed the House is
$456,000. An additional $350,000 is
necessary, representatives from pine
States say, if the campaign is tobe
carried on with real hope of ac-
complishing anything.
White pine blister rust is due to
a fungus that gets under the bark
on younger branches and raises
great blister-like pustules. After-
ward the bark sloughs off and even-
tually the tree dies. The disease
is extremely contagious. For a
time it was hoped that it could be
kept out if the last great white pine
reservoir of the West, but it has
gained a foothold there, and the
western white pine seem to be if
anything ‘more susceptible than the
eastern ones.
The key tothe disease is found in
currant and gooseverry bushes.
Strangely enough, te fungus does
not go from pine to pine, but from |
pine to gooseberry or currant and
then back to pine. again.
The disease is combated by going
through all gardens and nurseries
within spore-spreading range of
pine woods and wiping out all cur-
rant and gooseberry bushes.
DAIRYING LEADS AS
FARM ENTERPRISE.
Dairying, a business which less
than a century ago was represented
by the “family cow,” the hand-
powered dash churn and the milk
crocks on the cellar or spring house
floor, is now by far the outstanding
farm enterprise in Pennsylvania ac-
cording to the Department of Agri-
culture.
Federal statistics indicate that the
sale of milk alone is the source of
a greater cash income to farmers
than the sale of all field, fruit and
vegetable crops combined. Further-
more, the revenue from milk equals
approximatly one-half of the total
cash income from all livestock and
livestock products sold from the
farm.
It has been estimated that dairy-
ing is the principal source of income
on approximately 100,000 of the
State's 172,000 farms. Not long
ago, a study of the principal sources
of farm revenue in forty of the
leading agricultural counties of the
Commonwealth revealed that milk
led in thirty-three.
In total value of dairy cows, Penn-
sylvania stands fifth among the
States, being outranked only by
Towa, Minnesota, New York and
Wisconsin and in average value per
head exceeds all these states, ex-
cepting New York. Almost eighty
per cent, of the farms in Pennsyl-
vania have dairy cattle, according
to the last triennial census.

THOUSANDS WILL ATTEND
ALTOONA MOTOR SHOW.
With the New York automobile
show having completed one of the
most successful shows in its history,
the beautiful models exhibited are
being sent by the manufacturers to
the various shows which are to be
held in other cities throughout the
country. The Altoona show, com-
ing as it does close on the heels of
New York, will be fortunate in se-
curing many of the most attractive
of these automobiles, at least a
dozen being scheduled for shipment
in time for the opening on Satur-
day, January 24 to Jan. 31.
Never in the history of the auto-
mobile industry has so much in-
| terest been mainfested by the pub-
|
|
lic in the new models. What with
the new syncro-mesh transmission,
one piece body, sturdier and special-
ly designed frames, free wheeling
‘and numbers of other entirely new
features to be learned about by the
motoring public, the 1931 automobile
shows throughout the country will
undoubtedly attract the same large
crowds as New York. The actual
sales of new cars made at New
York shows, beyond a doubt,
that Mr. and Mrs. American
Citizen are not worried about a
continuance of any business depres-
sion, one manufacwurer alone re-
porting the sale of over 1,000 cars
of his particular make. These or-
ders were taken through the dis-
play models.
“The Jaffa Shrine Mosque in
which the Altoona show will be
held is ideally situated and con-
structed for an automobile show,”
said Mr. R. P. Miller, chairman of
the dealers show committce. “We
have never had the opportunity to
display our cars to the public in
such a setting. The beautiful build-
ing itself is one of the most elab-
orate of its type in Pennsylvania,
being constructed at a cost of over
a million dollars. Every facility for
the comfort of our patrons is here
for them, both in the building it-
self and in the parking space which
will be maintained for their use.
This parking will give them easy
and convenient access to the build-
ing and police protection for their
cars at no cost to themselves.
