Laugh and grow fat Is saying d5
old as the hills. It has long beer az
accepted fact that humor is a promoter
of digestion and merry words the dead;s
liest foes Of disease. DR.. ]. q. Kennej
dy, editor of the Iowa Health Bulletin
writes an interesting article c. the val1
,ue Of laughter, in which he shows 1t ia
not only remedial agent, but Is also g
valuable preventive against q host of
diseases. The physical effects OF laugh
ter are thus put down by DR.. Kennedy:
Laughter increases the blood circula-,
ton. -,
1t enlarges the heart. ~, -, !, ;;55;lsss',
It expands the lungs.
1t jiggers the diaphragm.
It promotes the dioculation Of the
spleen. 4
In other words, laughter stlrs up the
vital regions Of the body, gives them
healthful exercise and produces men,
tai exhilaration which acts upon the
system much as a brisk walk In crisp
atmosphere does upon the appetite. AS
strong allies to laughter DR.. Kennedy
gives the following directions for men
tai peace of mind:
Beware of theologians who have no
sense of mirth. They are not altogeth-
er human.
Keep your chin up.
Don't take your troubles to bed with
you. Hang them on chair with your
trousers or drop them in glass of wa
ter with your teeth.
DR.. Kennedy has surely hit the nail
on the mead. If his prescription and
advice are followed, his own bills w.l
be decidedly cut down. - Burlington

toned annually to the school funds

ton to the number Of children of
school age in the county. The
