Health Talk
WRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE
B. APPEL, SECRETARY OF
HEALTH
“At the present time a whole-
some frankness regarding funda-
mental biological subjects exists.
Prudishness and false modesty have
given way to a sensible viewpoint
on these important topics,” said Dr.
Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of
Health, today.
“Nevertheless with all the frank-
ness now to be found in polite con-
versation, on the stage, in the mag-
azines and in the movies, there yet
strangely is a modesty that is most
annoying to the medical profession.
And it frequently results in dire
trouble and often in death.
“It seems that people will discuss
to the point of painfulness the ills
of others, but just as soon as a con-
dition arises in themselves that
calls for a thorough physical exam-
ination, then is it not only not dis-
cussed, but sometimes everything
is done by the victim to hide his
trouble until such a time that pain
and desperation make it impossible
for him further to postpone a visit
to the doctor’s office. In many in-
stances the progress of the disease
has reached such an unfortunate
stage that nothing can be done
but prolong a doomed life.
“The main cause of conditions of
this character is cancer. Cancer
invades and conceals itself, but like
all criminals finally manifests itself,
sometimes painlessly, by means of
tumors, persistent sores and unusu-
al bleeding.
“In many cases of this character,
had modesty been put in ite proper
place at the first sign of anything
physically unusual, whether # was
painful or not, the practiced eye of
the physician would have diagnosed
the ailment, and frequently would
have been able to throttle it before
it reached the hopeless stage, as in
the early stages cancer is frequent-
ly curable.
“A certain amount of modesty is
all richt and even demanded by
society, but to carry this trait into
the field of criminal delay is absurd
and frequently is suicidal.
“Your physician is your confi-
dant. Modesty, where disease or
even a suspicion of a disease exists
has no place in your relations with
him. Give him the chance to dis-
cover your trouble promptly. To
delay may mean your life.”

“ELECTRICITY, THE
MODERN HIRED MAN”
“The day when farmers will be
able to ‘lie in bed on Sunday morn-
ing and merely press a button’ to
get most of their work done, seems
to be approaching reality,” says the
universal farmer. “Modern inven-
tions, chiefly those which find new
uses for electricity on the farm,
while they may not bring about this
millenium will greatly lighten farm
work.
“Nowdays it is practical, where
rural transmission lines bring elec-
tricity to the farm, to milk the cows,
separate the eream, grind and mix
the feed, bale and dry the hay, clip
and curry the animals, light the
farm buildings, operate machinery
in the repair shop, and perform
many other jobs by eleltricity that
formerly took time and hard work.
Already many up-to-date farmers
get along without a hired man be-
cause of these modern conveniences.
“Uses of electricity in the farm
home seem to have no mit. Vacu-
um cleaners, sewing machines, and
many other devices, simplify what
formerly were laborious tasks for
the farm woman. Lighting, venti-
lating and cooking systems, as well
as water supplies, can all be “hook-
ed” on to the magic power from the
button on the wall.”
Electricity is doing for the farm
what it has done for the factory
and the modern home—performing
better work at less cost, with m-
measurably increased efficiency, and
without the back-breaking labor of
the past.

MINERAL WEALTH SUP-
PORTS CIVILIZATION
The mining industry provides
the bread and butter for a num-
ber of states surpassing in value
all other industries.
In one southwestern state dur-
ing 1927 the output of the mines
aggregated over $111,000,000,
while, in cemparison, its erops
were valued at but $30,000,000.
Mines paid almost one-half of the
state taxes.
The modern trend that is placing
mining en a firm genomic and fin-
ancial basis, and is deing away
with chaotic production and price
fluctuations, means a new era of
prosperity for many states. Min-
eral wealth is the underlying sup-
port for qur modern civilization
and labor-saving conveniences,
THE RAILROADS AID
GENERAL PROSPERITY
Last year the railroads of the
United States spent $1,396,000,-
000 for materials and supplies and
$772,000,000 for new equipment
and improvements. This tremen-
dous total is the equivalent of
$76.80 for every family in the
country.
Railroad purchases aid all busi-
nesses and help to support workers
in all lines. When, in 1927, they
spent $439,000,000 for coal alone,
they were providing every fourth
dollar earned by coal miners. They
paid one-fourth of all wages in the
lumber industry by spending $176,-
000,000 for forest products. Their
needs in iron and steel furnished
one-fifth of the income of employ-
ees in that industry.
Thus do the railreads make a
tremendous contribution to the
general prosperity and living stan-
dards of the United States. A year
of railroad progress and expansion
means a year of general progress.
A year of serious curtailment of
railroad activities, on the other
hand, would have a depressing ef-
feet on many basic industries
which employ millions of wage-
earners.
This is the danger that arises
when railroad earnings are insuf-
ficient to realize an adequate in-
come on the investment involved.
For a number of years past they
have been struggling to progress
in spite of poor returns and they
have succeeded. They have raised
efficiency, and placed themselves
on a new high economic level.
This, unfortunately, cannot con-
tinue indefinitely under present
conditions. Regulating bodies use
more and more arbitrary power;
railroad income continues to be
much less than the “Fair Return”
permitted by the government. The
result, unless a change of policy
intervenes, will be railroad re-
trenchment and retrogression.
Railroad curtailments mean gen-
eral industrial curtailment.

LEADERS SET EXAMPLE
“An example of public spirit
which might well be emulated by
other industrial leaders was
shown recently by five citizens of
Alabama in connection with a
movement for advertising the re-
sources of the state,” says the
Tonasket, Washington, Times.
“In pursuance of an act of the
legislature an Industrial Commis-
sion was appointed by Governor
Graves, with an appropriation of
$100,000 for a four years’ adver-
tising campaign. Deeming this in-
adequate, the five commissioners, |
who serve without salary and pay
their own expenses, personally do-
nated $20,000 each, or a total of
$100,000 to the fund, duplicating
the amount furnished by the state.
“Their action is good evidence
that the governor made no mis-
take in selecting the persomnel of
the commission, which is compos-
ed of Thomas W. Martin, Presi-
dent of the Alabama Power Com-
pany; George T. Crawford, Presi-!
dent of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad Company; Theodore
Swann, Lindley Morton and Ben-
jamin Russell, capitalists.
“In every state captains of in-
dustry are performing similar ser-
vices for their communities, and it
might be well for the public to
make note of the fact occasionally
and give credit where it is due.
Such men do more for the up-
building of the country than the
soap-box orators in and out of
Congress who would tear down the
business structure which has been
erected through the efforts of able
and industrious citizens.”

ROAD NEARLY COMPLETED
TO BAINBRIDGE
About three miles of the State
route number 241, from Elizabeth~
town to Bainbridge, is nearly com-
pleted.
Along this new stretch of road
extending from Root’s School House
in West Donegal township, to a
point below Shenk’s Schoolhouse,
several sharp curves have been im-
proved, and the road widened at
various sections.
At a point below Good’s Church
a large standard concrete bridge
was constructed to replace a former
inadequate spam, with a width of
about 30 feet.
The construction of a temporary
bridge near the farm of Harry J.
Gish just outside of Elizabethtown,
was made this week.
Work will probably be finished
within the next several weeks.
