SUMNER HEALTH SUGGESTIONS
Some Advice to Athletes on First Aid
To Heat Victims

The good old summer time is here,
makes 1t appropos to hand out line
of advice on the subject of heat pros
tration, its prevention and cure. Such
prostration is not common in the
Wood River region, but many people
here are often where 1t is common and
suggestions may be timely. To the
athlete who is in good physical con-
dition, and whose diet is we'll regu-
lated, no amount of exposure to the
sun should be dangerous, or even in
the least degree harmful. Practically
all authorities agree that the summer
diet should be lighter than that of
winter, and should include less meat
and less starchy foods, while fruits
and vegetables Of the non starchy
varieties should be consumed in liber-
al quantities.
or course, the greatest care must
be exercised in the selection Of fruits
eaten raw, for If they are In the least
decayed they are certain to start
internal ructions. Decayed or faint
ed products Of the garden and orch
ard are fit only to throw at umpires
and summer stock actors.
Large quantities Of aqua pura, alias
pure water, consumed Just now, will
aid in the elimination of poisons that
might, II permitted to remain, take
advantage Of the first hot day to start
a rookus that would end in sunstroke
A half glass of orange Juice and grape
juice, taken in the morning will also
be OF assistance in driving out the
bugs that are responsible for making
an athlete subject to heat prostration.
About the best investment OF a cou
pie Of dollars that could be made by
an athlete who expects to take part
in violent summer sports would be
to call on a doc" and have thor
ough examination, ut the same time
assmilating a bunch Of advice suited
to his own particular needs A happy
and healthful summer In the open Is
dependent only on proper preraration
after which the athlete may tell Old
Sol exactly where to get off. If you
are none too confident of your cond;
ton, however, 1t will be just as vel
to avoid becoming too chesty and tc
avoid Soils attention on the hottest
days.

of the chief diets for swine and sheep
from November until late spring. Re-
sultant from THE success attained In
this direction by Germany, much at
tention Is being focused in that direc-
ton by ranchers of the west especial
" in Utah and other states where
tubers are grown in abundance.
Substitution of potatoes for grain
during the winter months is appealing
to ranchers Of Utah, in view or the
fact that in this state there are large
quantities OF potatoes grown each
year which undoubtedly. II fed to
swine and sheep, would materially re-
duce the expense Of the average
ranch.
The German experiments were car
ried out at cost of many thousands
of dollars. A heavy investment or
equipment and solving the matter of
preservation we're the chief factors
in the experimentation. 1t is now de-
clsred that 1t is possible to feed
stock six different kinds of dried po-
tatoes which have nearly all the nour-
ishment to be found in barley and
oats. Potatoes for fattening, It Is
declared, are nearly equal from
standpoint OF nutriment as either OF
these standard grains. 1t was demon
strated by the board Of German agri-
culturists that one third Of the
strengthening food generally given
horses In the form OF grain can gen
orally be replaced by potatoes.
The potatoes are prepared in three
forms--aaked, Clipped and pressed.
Potato flakes are obtained by MASKING
boiled potatoes by the Use Of two
rollers. The product is then dried by
allowing high tension stream from
boilers to pass through the interior
of the rollers.
Clipped potatoes. one Of the most
successful kinds, are washed, sliced
and placed in the trough Of drying
machine, being continually stirred and
distributed equally along the entire
length of cylinders Of projecting SHOW
els.
To prepare pressed potatoes the
greater part of the water is pressed
out while the potatoes are IN their
natural state. However, 1t is neces-
sary to slice the tubers before this is
begun. The mass Is then placed in
the drying machine This method
costs less than the others.
According to the experiments the
digestive properties of the potato are
not impaired by drying and they are
digetsted as readily as grains.
In Germany the expense Of equip
ment among the farmers will
be overcome by joint ownership and
this is the most feasible pan among
farmers and ranchers of this country,
except where the ranchers are very
large and hundreds Of head Of stock
are fed daily.

SAFETY EXPERT
GIVES OPINIONS

In an article In the Scientific Amer.
lean Supplement, Frederic Remson
Hutton, M. E. Sc. d. vice president
of the American Museum of Safety Of
| New York discusses the so-called
automobile warning signal problem
and its proper regulation by law.
DR.. Hutton who is vice president Of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers and consulting Engineer
and chairman of the Technical Gem
mittee of the Automobile Club of Am
erica, has made extensive study Of
this problem and deals with it from
the standpoint of wide experience.
He urges the adoption Of h stand
ard quality Of warning signal and the
prohibition Of its unnecessary use.
THE warning signal says DR..
Hutton SHOULD be of the quality not
attaching to any other street noise
and 1t should be audible from such
distance that the person warned
not jump with nervous movement to
avoid something that seems at his
side before he knew 1t was anywhere
near him.
ITO sound the signal unnecessarily
not only makes the streets more noisy
than necessary, but also breeds the
habit Of disregarding the signal when
1t Is full of real meaning. A noisy
street is dangerous when the danger
signals cannot be heard; the quieter
the street the more easily Is the at
tention caught.
"A true musical note Zone with a
definite number Of air waves per Sec
ond) Is not as serviceable for arousing
attention or for warning as a pure
noise unless 1t Is much louder in in
tensity than such noise. The so-called
siren Is a pure tone at all points of
its range, but to make It carry sud-
den warning, 1t has to be so loud that
it is rightly to be forbidden where
noise is an objection. The short ex-
plosive note of the diaphram types
of signal, where h steel diaphram is
set vibrating by an electric motor on
the principle Of Savart, makes the
first sound waves as effective as those
which leave the signal later, and this
is its best claim to be saftey device
in the sense that the American Muse
UNI of saftey uses that term. The com
mon pneumatic reed actuated from
a hand bulb cannot be heard in noisy
traffic or gainst strong winds for any
distance, or even a city block, and is
scarsely therefore, entitled to be
classed among safety devices in the
Museum sense.
While it Is said to say that a
Standardization along the above lines
will reduce the number of collisions
on the streets, there still remains the
irreduceable minimum whose origins
are carelessness and absence of
mind.

CURIOUS BURIAL CUSTOM.
The P~igeonhcie Tombs In Use In the
Cemeteries of Spain.

The P~igeonhole Tombs In Use In the
Cemeteries of Spain.
A rather curious and to our ideas
somewhat unpleasing custom obtains
in Spanish cemeteries. All around the
burying ground a building is erected
whose design can only be compared to
that of a nest of pigeonholes. often
seen in postofices and similar institu-
tons. Each p~igeonhole is a tomb.
When a person dies his relatives hire
a pigeonhole for five years, and the re-
mains are placed inside. The end Is
then sealed up with mortar and a me-
mortal tablet affixed on the outside.
The lease of the ~pigeonhole may be
renewed at the end of the Ave years,
bat if it is allowed to expire the tomb
is unsealed and the bones removed to
make way for another tenant.
Needless to say. the plan has some
good points. The space taken up by the
''pigeonhole cemetery" is comparative
" small. as is also the cost of burial.
Picturesqueness is. however. c%onspicu-
ously absent, nor is sentimental grief
catered for. as 1t would be impossible
to go and mourn at the grave of a per-
son buried in a ~pigeonhole so high up
that a ladder was needed to reach it.
To such as prefer the old fashioned
graves the central space of ground is
offered. but the ~pigeonholes are the
most popular Wide World Magazine.
