THE FIRST CONCERN, i
TIPS TO TREAT HEAT PROSTRATION
Because the treatment is the exact
opposite from that for heat stroke,
the National Safety Council urges
eyeryone to learn first aid for heat
exhaustion, heat cramps and muscle |
cramps.
These are the symptoms: The vic-
tim is pale, cold, clammy-—down
and out.
Call a doctor and an ambulance.
While waiting remove the victim
to a comfortable place. Cover him
with blankets and apply hot water
bottles.
Keep him warm!
PROTEINS—REPAIR FOODS
By Dr. Morris Fishbein
The proteins are a group of close-
ly related substances composed of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
and sulphur. Some of them contain
phosphorus and iron acids. The
basic proteins are amino acids.
Whereas it was originally thought
many of the proteins were alike, it
is now realized that they differ. |
Some of them are made out of es-
sential elements in the body; others
cannot be made in the body but
must be taken in the form of vari-
ous foods.
It would hardly interest the aver-
age person without a scientific
knowledge of chemistry to explain
to him the ways in which the dif-
ferent proteins vary chemically.
‘Their technical names, such as ala- |
nine, glycine, and histidine, have
meaning for chemists. Some food
substances are called complete pro- |
teins because they contain all of the
amino acids essential for growth and
for tissue repair. The best examples
‘of protein foods of this character
are milk, lean meat and eggs. Oth-
ers contain some essential substances
but need additional proteins to make
growth and maintenace possible.
These are called partially complete
proteins. The best examples of this
type are cereals and such substances
as peas and beans.
Flour contains as its protein
gliadin of wheat, but this protein!
Tequires the addition of another pro-
tein called lysine in order to insure
‘growth. In arranging a diet these
facts must be considered so that |
the diet will include some of all of
the essential protein substances.
Milk furnishes the best type of pro-
tein for both maintenance and
growth. Eggs come next, and then
various meat products. Beans, peas,
‘corn and various cereals require ad-
ditions in the form of milk, meat, or
eggs, to satisfy protein needs. When
‘the proteins get into the body they
are digested partly in the stomach
by hydrochloric acid, water and pep-
sin, and to some extent in the in-
testines by juices secreted by the
‘pancreas and by the intestinal wall.
A protein diet is essentially an
acid-forming one. When burned in
“the body, meat, cereals and prunes
furnish acids in predominance. Gel-
atin is a protein, but it is an in-
‘complete protein because it does
not provide some of the important
constituents. Everyone has to have
100 to 120 grams of protein in the
‘daily diet. An ordinary glass of
milk has only seven grams of pro-
tein. The white of the egg consists
chiefly of water, protein and mineral
salts. An average egg weighs about
two ounces; about one-sixth of this
is protein. !
There are dietary faddists who in-
veigh against preteins, claiming that
they putrefy in the intestines and
that a safe diet is low in protein.
Such an argument is utterly without
basis in scientific fact. Proteins are |
found in fish, cheese, in vegetables
and in most natural foods. The!
‘cheaper cuts of meat are as good as |
the more expensive ones in supply-
ing protein. For palatability, meat |
protein is in general superior to veg-
etable protein. An adequate diet
contains about two ounces of actual
protein each day. When it is con- |
sidered that only one-sixth of the |
egg is protein, that less than five
ver cent of milk is protein, it will
be realized that a considerable quan- |
ity of food may be necessary to
supply the protein needs, provided
this need is not kept in mind. !
‘CARBOHYDRATES—ENERGY FOODS
The chief energy foods for the hu- |
man body are the carbohydrates. |
Most carbohydrate is secured through |
plant life, such as the cereal grains,
Sugar, cane sugar, beet sugar, maple |
Sugar, sweet fruits, vegetables such |
as potatoes, milk, sugar, blood and |
liver. Thus, there is more than one |
kind of sugar.
sify them as single sugars, double
‘sugars and complex sugars.
The organic acids, such as the
‘citric acid of o and lemons,
‘the potassium acid tartrate of grapes,
‘and the oxalic acid of various other
‘foods are burned in the body to pro-
“duce energy and are also calculated
as carbohydrates, even though they
‘have a lower fuel value than the
‘sugars.
The carbohydrates are of import-
ance in the body chiefly as a source
of ener, for work. The amount
‘of carbohydrates used depends on
the amount of energy lost. Dur-|
ng prolonged starvation, the car-
rates stored up in the body,
cularly in the form of glycogen
‘In the liver and in the muscle, is
used up to supply this need. Car-
Tohyarates are In supplying

PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH
FEATURE GRANGE FAIR
The Grange Fair in its program
for 1831 will give an important
place to the activities of Centre
county young people.
Boys’ and girls’ livestock judging,
on 0 a always a feature, will
receive more attention this year and
will be made one of the big events
of the week. This is county-wide
and under the direction of the Ex-
tension representative. All girls and
boys under 18 years of age are
eligible to enter the contest. Rib-
bons and money prizes are awarded
the winners. The training received
along these lines backed by the in-
terest and enthusiam of the young
people entering this contest, assure
the association of something out of
the o and of real importance
to rural communities.
The girls’ poultry club will again
have a part in the poultry show and
hold their annual round-up on Tues-
day. This club is sponsored by the
State College Kiwanis o tion
and has been a big factor in its rural
work. The continued existence of
the poultry club is proof of the in-
terest displayed on the part of both
and the value in results. Its mem-
bers are residents of Harris and Col-
lege townships and pupils of the
public schools. Their work should
be of great interest to the public.
There are a number of 4-H clubs
county, organized and
working under the direction of the
Home Economic Extension represen-
tatives. These will have their dis-
tinct club exhibits and in addition
will also hold the annual round-up
and get-together of the year whena
program of their own will be put
on which has been arranged for mu-
tuai pleasure and profit to club
members.
The vocational students of the
county will find listed in the prem-
ium book an enlarged classification
and more satisfactory arrangement
of the work undertaken in the
schools under this head. This
ought to bring out a very complete
display and no doubt will fill the
space allotted to the division of
school work. By this method of
education the boy and the girl find
an avenue through which individual
tastes and inclinations may express
themselves and parents and teachers
are able to aid in laying a foundation
for future benefits. As a conse-
quence this exhibit should be one of |
the most important and interesting
to be found at the fair.
The public generally is urged to
see these exhibits and activities, and
learn what is being done by young
folks.
Plans are being made for a larger
number of the schools of Centre
county to bring displays of the work
of last year. There is wide inter-
est in this department and all schools
of the county should take a part in
the display. Increased attention at
all fairs is accorded schools.
Ribbons and substantial money
all
these divisions and classifications.
The premium book has been issued
make necessary arrangements for
the exhibits they are planning.
ACCIDENT DEATH TOLL
QUITE LARGE IN STATE.
Starvation, reportedly widespread
on account of unemployment, was the
cause of only two deaths in Pennsyl-
vania during 1930, a report by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics showed
today.
The starvation toll was the lowest
among the causes listed for the 8,-
583 accidental deaths reported in the
State for one year.
Autos led in claiming 2,424 vic-
tims, 28.2 per cent of the entire to-
tal. Accidental falls stood second,
with 1,766 deaths, and mine acci-
dents third, with 784. |
Weather conditions were responsi-
ble for a 1 number of deaths.

MRE. PRESIDENT (1982)
Governor Roosevelt, of New York,
‘will fight it out with President Hoo-
ver for the White House next year
on a battleground of economic and
related issues, and the Democratic
candidate is likely to win, according
to indications. A
just completed by
Howard newspapers, results in
conclusions.
Although events of the next year
may affect this political forecast,
bringing new per:onalities to the
front and influencing the major par-
ties’ prospects. that is the situation
as it appears today, insofar as it
could be ascertained by a careful
impartial canvass.
In obtaining this picture of Presi-
dential possibilities prominent spokes-
men in each political camp were in-
terviewed, with the pledge that their
identity would not be disclosed.
LOOK FOR HOOVER DEFEAT
Despite a general lack of enthusi-
asm for President Hoover on the
part of both leaders and rank.and-
file, who think he is headed for de-
feat, the G. O. P. is reconciled to his
renomination unless he withdraws
voluntarily. Calvin Coolidge and Sen-
ator Dwight W. Morrow of New

pps-
these
Jersey are preferred in some sections
where it is believed they stand a
better chance of carrying the coun-
try.
Their nomination, and especially
Coolidge's, in the opinion of influen-
tial Republicans, would restore the
dwindling faith in the G. O. P. as the
organizer and preserver of prosper-
itv. The only other Republican men-
tioned is Charles G. Dawes, of Illi.
nois, Ambassador to Great Britain.
Although Governor Pinchot of Penn-
sylvania has some Progressive back-
ers, there is a surprisingly little third-
party sentiment. Protests against
continued hard times and the admin-
istration’'s policies, on this basis, will
take the form of Democratic votes.
Roosevelt leads the field in the
Democratic race. He is especially
strong in the South, the Middle West
and on the Coast, even more so than
in the conservative East and in his
home State. Hungry and hopeful for
victory, Democrats of all factions
believe they can capitalize his name,
his reputation as a liberal, and his
vote-getting ability as demonstrated
in two gubernatorial contests. Even
party leaders bitterly opposed to A)
Smith in 1928 will back Roosevelt—
provided he does not demand a re-
peal plank in the platform.
Despite Roosevelt's dominance,
there is a secondary and scattered
strength for other candidates. Senti-
ment varies in different localities,
but in the order in which their can- |
didacies are considered they are:
Newton D. Baker, of Ohio, Secretary
of War under Wilson; Governor Al-
bert C. Ritchie of Maryland, Owen D.
Young of New York, board chair-
man of the General Electric Com-
pany; Governor George White of
Ohio, Senator Robert J. Buckley of
‘the same State, and ex-Governor
James M. Cox, still another Ohioan;
Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkan-
Sas.
SMITH STILL POPULAR ©
Al Smith retains a great hold on
the affections of Democratic voters
according to the cancass, and espe-
cially in the group of so-called wet
Smith States. But sentiment seems
‘to be that injection of the religious
issue again would jeopardize the
party's chances in a when pros-
pects are bright. It is felt that Smith
was given his opportunity in 1928,
that the impossibility of electing him
was clearly demonstrated, and that
he should subordinate himself to
the best interests of the party.
Nevertheless, his attitude may ex-
ert great influence. In many quarters
it is reported that Roosevelt has the
call largely because he is looked on
as the friend and first choice of the
‘candidates. Any evidence of hostility
t
toward Roosevelt by Smith
weaken the former, although this
would be counteracted by the view
that Al owes it to the man who dub-
bed him “The Happy Warrior” to
stand aside.
The depression has temporarily
shoved other important issues, in-
cluding prohibition and water power
into the background. From all over
the country come reports that the
be “When do we eat?” The party
and candidate which provide the most
plausible answer to that question, it,
is predicted, will win. With 6,000,000
persons jobless, farm products, gen:
eral commodities and stocks at un.
precedented lows, the 1932 election
will swing on economic issues almost
entirely.

as to impose a larger burden on the

LOSES PROGRESSIVES,
Progressives who supported Hoo-
ver in 1928 have turned against him
because of his farm, public utilities
and economic policies. A great deal
of Roosevelt's strength in the Mid-
die West is attributed to the belief
that he would adopt a more forward-
looking policy in these matters. Fail-

corn, livestock and dairy products,
which have reached new lows in re-

Hoover's moratorium proposal, to-
gether with other steps to stabilize
conditions in Central Europe, has
enhanced his prestige. Should these
moves succeed, and should a definite
gain be reflected on the farms and
in the factories here by fall of 1932.

chance to succeed himseif. So far,
however, advices are that the efforts
to relieve Europe are “utterly with.

POTTER COUNTIAN LEASES
LAND FOR MUSKRAT FARM
Visitors to the Susquehannock
State forest in northern Pennsylvania
will find an entirely new industry in
the state forests if the plans of Hen-
ry L. Quick, Germania, materialize
for the development of a muskrat
farm at the headwaters of Kettle
Creek, near Germania, Potter coun-
ty
A lease for a muskrat farm, the
first of its kind ever granted during
more than thirty years of state for-
est management, was recently enter.
ed into between Quick and the De-
partment of forest and waters where-
by the former has rented nearly an

acre of swampy ground for the pur- |
pose of growing muskrats. The musk-
rats were not consulted, said District |
Forester H. E. Elliott of the Susque-
hannock district, who, in recommend-
ing the lease insisted it was fair to
all, including animals, since the de-
partment in no way guaranteed a
crop of muskrats to the lessee.
The lease was granted on the same
basis as camp site leases in the state
forests, according to A. E. Rupp,
chief of the bureau of management.
The lease is for a short term and
at a nominal charge, with renewal
privileges should Quick find his ven.
| ture profitable and wish to continue
it. The area devoted to fur farming
devotes it to its highest use, since
the swampy location is
to timber production.
Preliminary consideration of the
lease led also to the question of any
| possible interference with fish life.
Carp was the only food discovered
on the muskrat’s menu, which in
| winter time consists of roots of aqua-
/tic plants, like pond lillies, arums
and sedges, including a few mussels |
/in times of depression. The summer
|menu is more extensive, including
roots, stems, leaves and fruits, and
sometimes ordinary garden vege-
tables of which the muskrats are
very fond.
It was also discovered that the Dem
pickerel is listed as one of the ene-
mies of the muskrat, in addition to
foxes, mink, hawk and owls. And so,
with a preference for carp as fish
‘food and an aversion to pickerel on-
'slaughts, muskrat injury to fish life
| was considered negligible and the
|lease was drawn up.

| perous business, particularly in the
