HELPFUL HEALTH HINTS
Would You Live Long?
If you would live long, it might
be wise implicity to follow such
rules as
Don’t drink bad whiskey; drink
pure water instead. Alcohol lowers
the mental efficiency, poisons the
nerves, impairs the body resist-
ance to infectious diseases and
tends to degenerate the arteries.
This indictment of ’ alcohol is am-
ply substantiated by scientific re-
searches.
Keep your, mouth in gopd condi-
tion. Poor teeth not* only prevent
you from chewing your food prop-
erly, but also promote a foul, germ
laden condition of the mouth
which will infect all food and thus
fell seriously on the general
health.
Take a walk every day. Rust at-
tacks unused machinery and sends
it to the scrap heap long before its
time.
Sleep with your windows open.
The lungs throw off carbonic acid
gas which is poisonous. Lungs need
the oxygen which is found only in
fresh air.
Leave patent medicines alone. Go
to a reliable doctor for ailments.
Have at least an annual health ex-
amination.

Weeds
Many of the states have a law
providing for the destruction of
noxious weeds, with Penalty attach-
ed for the property owner or house-
holder who permits such weeds to
flourish and go to seed. The law
Is not enforced with the vigor it
should be when it is everywhere
now recognized the harm to health
and the economic . waste where
weeds are allowed to propagate.
An old adage states. "One year’s
seeding makes ten years’ weeding.”
This as may easily oe seen, occa-
sions great loss Jn humus stolen
from the soil, and unnecessary ex-
tra work in cultivation.
Important among the considera-
tions of exterminating weeds
is that of public health. Statistic-
ians have not yet compiled the
time lost from profitable employ-
ment by sufferers from that annoy-
ing ailment, hay fever.
Calculate thp large sums of
money spent on worse than use-
less nostrums In attempts to cure
the affliction. It is difficult to com-
pute the amount expended on
railway fares and other expenses
incident to an enforced vaaction
on the part of those who must go
to a distant locality to escape in-
haling the pollen of useless, noxious
weeds. The common rageweed is
possibly the greatest offender, the
chief cause of hay fever.
Nearly all towns have an ordi-
nance on weed cutting; neighbor-
hood Interest says, cut the weeds:
profit and loss says, cut the weeds;
public health says, cut the weeds
Yet the weeds remain uncut in
every city, village and community in
the state. Strange commentary on
humanity to ignore and break laws
that were made to protect them
from illness and evil.
Yellow fever and malaria have
been eradicated from almost unin-
habitable places, simply through
the process of cleaning up the
breeding places of mosquitoes; ty-
phoid and cholera are being over-
come by sanitation; hay fever and
vegetable poisonings can be con-
quered in any community if there
is a determination to destroy nox-
ious weeds and relieve the locality

NEW YORK.—During the year
1931, fully $1,000,000,000 will be
spent for airport development
throughout the United States.
This information, which well il-
lustrates the /growing airminded-
ness of the masses, was contained in
a recent announcement by Roland
D. Doane. of the Lehigh Portland
Cement Company, which is spon-
soring a nation wide competition
for the design of modem flying
fields.
Doane pointed out that the
growth of the aviation industry
will always be guaged by the ex-
tent cf airport development.
Plan Much Building
"Prom the time Lindbergh land-
ed in Paris until the end of 1928.
about $300,000,000 was spent on air-
ports in this country,” he said. ‘‘By
the spring of 1930 an additional
$500,000,000 will have been spent,
according to the most reliable esti-
mates. and in 1931 a billion dollars
more will be expended.”
The Lehigh Portland Cement
Company is sponsoring its airport
design contest because Doane be-
lieves there is plenty of room for
improvement in the modem air-
port..
“It is essential to consider the
future potentialities of air traffic
in order to plan today in a man-
ner that will not become obsolete
in a few years,” Doane declared,
“fftg-t-sightedness in airport plan-
ning would cost American citizens
and muncipalities untold millions
of dollars, to say nothing of hind-
ering the progress of aviation.
Far Sighted Plans
“Sound and far sighted planning
should be encouraged to guide the
further development of existing
airports and those that are to
come in the next few years so that
the hundreds that are being spent
for this purpose will in no measure
be wasted through early Inade-
quacy or obsolence.
“It is expected that the $10,000
in prizes offered by the Lehigh
Portland Cement Company for the
best designs of modem airports will
result in a great many entries
from professional men, and that
this concentration of professional
opinion on the subject will point
the way to a solution of the basic
planning problems that may be-
come standard for all normal air-
ports.
he is a thief and then the law
raises hell with him. If he is a
poor man he is a bad manager and
has no sense. If he is rich h? is
dishonest but considered smart. If
he is in politics you can’t place
him, as he is an undesirable citi-
zen. If he goes to church he is a
hypocrite. If he stays away from
church he is a sinner and damned.
If he donates to foreign missionar-
ies he does it for show. If he
doesn't he is stingy and a tight-
the world everybody wants to kiss
him. Before he goes out of it they
all to kick him. If he dies young
there was a great future before
him. If he lives to a ripe old age
he is in the way, and only living
to save funeral expenses.
This is a hard road but we all like
to travel it just the same. Let us
make the best of it.—Ex.
of a nuisance and bring about
health and happiness to the peo-
ple.
Important Don’ts For Children
Do not touch a fallen or broken
wire. It may be a “live” wire, that
is a wire that has electricity flow-
ing through it, and which does not
have a protecting cover of rubber.
Such wires are dangerous and may
cause death.
Do not gather cigar or cigarette
stumps. It is an unwise thing to
do for possibly the person who
threw it away had a disease of
some sort, infected tonsils or tu-
berculosis, and the child who puts
the “stump" in his mouth may be
taking in also the germs of a dis-
ease. .
Do net put money in the mouth
for disease germs are often passed
in this way from one person to an-
other. In addition, there is al-
ways the possibility that coins may
slip back in the throat and cause
choking.
Do not run with a taffy stick or
any sharp pointed instrument in
the mouth.
Do not get in front of trains or
other fast moving vehicles. “Stop,
look and listen" at crossings. Keep
off the railroad tracks. Be careful
at switches.
Do not persist in swimming
rifeht after a meal, or when over-
heated. nor in unknown or danger-
ous waters.
Do not throw sand, for sand in
, the eye is unpleasant and sand in
I the ear is dangerous.
Do not play with children who
have a contagious disease.
If the baby is left In the care of
an older child, the child should be
taught to keep the baby away
from fire and matches.
Give the baby no small or sharp
pointed play things.
Keep medicines and poisons out
of the baby's reach.
Protect the baby from disease
_■>
germs such as may be on the floor
and dusty carpets.
Remember that jiets carry dis-
ease germs.
'CONSERVING OLD ROADS
. The value of conserving old
gravel, macadam and paved roads
as foundations for new, stronger
and more permanent highways, is
being realized to a greater extent
every year. In many instances the
difference in cost of constructing an
entirely new road base and of
utilizing the old one is as much as
50 per cent, while time saved runs
as high as 70 per cent. *
The type of wearing surface to
be selected for resurfacing an old
foundation depends upon several
factors, among them first eo6t, ad-
aptability and nature of the traffic.
Unless traffic requires such paving
as granite blocks, it has been
found that an asphaltic mixture
meets requirements for resurfacing
exceptionally well. It is being used
more extensively every year not
only as a road salvaging material
but for new road construction.
SORRY FOR RICH BOY
I am sorry for the young man
who does not have to begin at the
bottom He will never know the joy
there is in climbing, and he will
not be well grounded in the bed-
rock principles of business which
are necessary to success. For this
reason, it is better to start out on
a small salary than to have a busi-
ness of your own. In the former
case, you learn at the other fel-
lowTs expense; in the latter, you
learn at your own expense and of-
tentimes it is very expensive tuition
resulting in business failure and
permanent discouragement.
Regardless of salary, always do
your best. If you get a dollar a
day. earn a dollar and a half. Well
has some one said. "The man who
earns no more than he gets, never
gets more than he earns."—H. Z.
Duke.—Alice Echo.

“It was such a benefit to my

me giving Cardul a fair trial, so I
kept on until I had taken several
bottles, and at last found myself
a well woman.”
Thousands of other women, who
had been in a run-down, suffering
condition, have reported that af-
ter taking Cardul they recovered
