WEEKLY HEALTH TALK
FROM STATE MEDICO
“There is a large number of persons
who enjoy being ill. They seem to get a
thrill out of the idea that their a-
chinery is out of gear and needs tam-
pering with. This class passesses in a
large degree the same psychology as
those foolish people who are forever
tinkering with their automebile—pull-
ing it apart and putting it together ag-
ain, for no reason at all, except the
idea, perhaps, that they can improve
upon the adjustments made at the
factory,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel,
secretary of health, during the week.
“There is however a vast difference
in possible results when the body and
machinery are subjected to this tink-
ering activity. The worst that can hap-
pen to the machine is to ruin it. And
money will buy another. But dollars
and cents are not so potent when it
comes to purchasing new human bod-
ies.
“There are two main types of tamp-
ering. One is to rely upon the high-
powered eloquence of quacks and of
quack remedies. The other is to get
the imagination to work, develop a
worry habit and thus think that one
is ill
“Just the other day an outstanding
physician whose long and notable hos-
pital experience gave authenticity to
his statement said, “Four per cent of
all persons to visit doctors at hospi-
tals have nothing wreng with them.”
It is not hard to understand the won-
derful cures by the advertisers and the
advertised remedies where such people
are concerned. Neither is it difficult to
appreciate the amount of actual suff-
ering, both physical and mental, that
worry over imaginary ills can inflict.
“Again, to self-diagnose one’s condi-
tion, assuming that something is ac-
tually wrong, and thus repair to the
patent medicine store for a glittering
package “ot relief is also a hazardous
bit of tinkering with one’s physical
economy.
«Therefore, if you think there is
something wrong with yourself, don't
brood over it. Visit a reputable doctor.
If he says it is all in your head, believe
him. Then get out into the open, fill
your lungs with fresh air, see that you
get plenty of sleep, eat regularly and
sensibly—and forget it! On the other
hand, if you are sick, again go to the
doctor, and implicitly follow his in-
structions.
“Neither you nor your body benefits
from tampering. So, don’t do it.”
FEED ALBINO RATS IN
SEEKING IRON SOURCES
In a study of the power of foods to
supply iron to the body, using albino
rats as subjects, the Institute of Ani-
mal Nutrition at the Pennsylvania Sta-
te College has made some interesting
and important discoveries.
It was learned that a baby albino
rat is born with the same percentage of
iron in its body that the adult rats
have, but during the time that it lives
on its mother’s milk alone its percen-
tage of iron content diminishes one-
half. Soon after the little rat begins to
eat solid food its iron content returns
to the normal adult value and remains
at about a level throughout life, ex-
cept as temporarily reduced by rearing
of youmg.
When growing rats were fed so that
they got protein and iron only from
milk they grew very rapidly, but in five
weeks as with the suckling rats, the
iron content of their bodies was reduc-
ed to 50 per cent of the normal; that
is, they became anemic.
With eggs as the sole source of pro-
tein and iron the growth was excel-
lent, but the iron content, though high-
er in the milk fed rats, was definitely
below normal. Rats which received the
protein and iron form beef muscle, liv-
er, kidney and brain, and from beans,
did not grow as fast as did rats which:
received milk or cheese, but the iron
content of their: bodies was normal in
each case.
The most important conclusion from
this study by the Institute is that meat
and milk have different functions in
nutrition and it is best not to depend
on either to take the natural place of
the other.

in Pennsylvania by the bureau of Sta-

the law the returns must be made to
the department before the last of the
present month. ;
Following the receipt of the ques-
tionairres the department’s statistical

COAL LOADING CONTEST
FOR COMING SUMMER
Notices are being broadcast through-
out the bituminous coal fields of centra;
Pennsylvania ,the second district, giv-
in the rules which will govern a coal
loading contest, to be held this sum-
mer. No such contest as this has ever
been held before and this one will set-
tle many arguments that have been
wrangled over for years and also “call
many bluffs,” that have been put up
for decades. Every coal miner in the
world, except a few very wise ones, be-
lieves that he ca n load more coal in a
day, if called upon, than almost any
other man. They not only have believ-
ed this, but have asserted and braggell
of it on the steps of countless company
stores, at the counters of many now
vanished barrooms, along railroad
tracks, in the woods, and in fact, ev-
erywhere that miners gather. Some very
startling statements have been made
as to individual prowess at car loading
but none of them have ever been put
to the proof by a contest and it is to
settle this long vexed question that the
Central Pennsylvania Coal Loading
contest is to be staged. Every miner in
this district and even from the Pitts-
burgh field, if there ure any champions
in that district, can compete. Individ-
ual miners can try for the prizes, or
mines, or groups of mines, can select
a champion—if they are sure he is a
champion— and put him in the com-
petition as their representative. Notices
of the rules and prizes are to be sent
broadcast to all-the mines in this dis-
trict and, as the news may travel to
other coal fields, competition from afar
may be entered before the contest
starts.
The competition will be one of the
daily features at the Cambria County
Industrial Exposition to be held at Eb-
ensburg the week of July 1 to 6, and is
sure to attract attention in all the coal
fields of this and adjoining states. Cars
on a track alongside the coal, just as
it would be under mine conditions, will
be provided and the carload, when ta-
ken to the scales, will be weighed and
the time for loading taken to the frac-
tion of a second. The judges will be
veteran coal men. The winners will be
announced eash day. The contest is
sure to call many a bluff and settle
for a time, many a long drawn argu-
ment. This will be merely one of the
many novel features that will bespangle
one of the most entertaining programs
ever presented at any outdoor exposi-
tion as that held yearly at Ebensburg.
“WAIT YOUR TURN,” IS
EYNON’S SUGGESTION
Motorists who persist in “riding a line
of stalled traffic” especially on slippery
or icy pavements, will be prosecuted for
reckless driving, Benjamin G. Eynon,
registrar of motor vehicles, said, Wed-
nesday.
“A number of crashes during stormy
and icy weather, were found to be due
to the practice of heedless motorists
who, upon approaching the stalled lines
of traffic, held up either by accident,
blocking the highway, or by necessity
of moving slowly on icy pavements,
rode the line of traffic only to find
themselves blocked. When these heed-
less motorists suddenly put on the
brakes with resultant skids and crash-
es into cars stalled in traffic or stail-
ed close to the sidewalk. Where inves-
tigations prove that crashes were due
to motorists “riding the line of stall=
ed traffic,” the offending motorists will
be prosecuted for reckless driving and
will not only face fine and imprison-
ment, but revocation of their licenses,”
Registrar Eynon said.

desiring to escape a surgical operation
may consult him without charge.
Mr. Seely says" the patented rupture
retainers he now uses will hold bad
ruptures with ease, will strengthe tis-
sues, cause muscles to contract and

CAUTION—Elastic trusses with leg
