GETTING ONES SECOND WIND
Explanation of Action Familiar to
Every Athlete Is a Most
Simple One.

The probable explanation of the
second wind" is as follows: In the
deep breathing of an athletic person
taking moderate exercise at sea level,
lack of oxygen plays no part. The eff
feet is wholly due to an increased pro-
duction of carbonic acid stimulating
the respiratory center, which responds
proportionally, On very violent ex-
ertion at sea level, however, and on
even moderate exertion at a great al
titude, the oxygen supply to the It's
sues of the body is temporarily insult
ficient.
Substances other than carbonic acid,
such as Tactic acid, are produced and,
when these substances reach the re-
spiratory centers by the way of the
blood they excite it to such activity
that one overbreatfies. That is, the
violent painting venti1ates the carbon
ic acid out of the blood more rapidly
than the body is producing it. The
substances which thus overestimate
the respiratory center are not VIOLA
tile and cannot be given off by way
of the lungs, but they appear to be
rather rapidly oxydized in the blood.
When the carbonic acid has been
considerably diminished a part of the
stimulus to the respiratory center is
removed so that one can breathe more
moderately-that is, one gets his Sec
ond wind" When the exertion stops,
the production of the stimulating sub
stances ceases, and the quantity OF
carbonic acid in the blood having been
reduced below the amount necessary
to stimulate the respiratory center,
one falls into a period of apnoea fol-
lowed by Cheyne-Stokes breathing,
like an engine with sensitive gov
ernor and no fywheel. Breathing
oxygen under these conditions hastens
the combustion of the acid substances
which have accumulated in the blood.

yards before they themselves revealed
any symptoms of the disease Once
this had taken place, every shipment
of stock from Chicago to other parts
of the country was likely to spread
the infection. For this reason fed
eral inspectors have for some time
now been engaged in tracing, by the
aid of bills of lading and other rail-
road records, each of these shipments
to it's destination and inspecting the
stock there. This accounts for the
discovery of cases in states as far re-
moved from each other as Iowa and
Massachusetts. The various quaran-
tines already imposed have been de-
signed to prevent the continued move
ment of cattle from infected or sus-
picious places. Once these move
mentss have been halted and all the
exposed cattle brought to standstill,
it will be possible for the federal au-
thorities to locate all suspicious cases

Sweden and Norway.

One hundred years ago, following
the brief war between the two coun-
tries comprising the Scandinavian
peninsula, the Norwegian parliament
voted to accept the supremacy of
Sweden, and elected the king of Swe-
den for king of Norway. The Scandi-
navian union, as finally agreed on,
made the person of the king and his
management of the foreign affairs of
the country the only common bond.
Each country retained it's own consti-
tuition, parliament and cabinet. This
agreement continued in force for
nearly hundred years, until 1905,
when the desire of the Norwegian
people for complete independence led
to peaceful dissolution of the union
and the election of Prince Charles Of
Denmark to the Norwegian throne IN
der the title of King Haakon VII.

Usual Causes of Indigestion.

Dr. Henry P. De Forest, medical ex'
aminer to the New York civil service
commission, says that irregular and
too short hours for meals are a COM
mon cause for indigestion; and he
admits that the physicians themselves
are about the worst violators of the
law against irregular meal hours.
He also says that too great a con-
sumption of prepared foods does away
with the use of the teeth and, there
fore, the food passes to the stomach
without proper mastication and that
even the stomach itself does not have
enough to do when insufficient solid
food passes through it. Improper
food, modes of dress, sedentary in
door life, too little water and too
much iced water taken with meals,
excess of stimulants and too much
hot bread, are among other causes for
chronic catarrh of the stomach and
constipation mentioned by Dr. De For

Brave Old Admiral Hawke.

The British cruiser Hawke, blown
I'D in the North sea by German SUBJ
marine, was named after one of Eng
lands most daring admirals, Baron
Edward Hawke. Not only was he
sturdy fighter, but without a superior
as a seaman. His great achievement
was the destruction of the French
fleet of De Constans, near Quiberon,
on November 21, 1859. Hawke sight
ed the enemy off the Morbihan. De
Constans, after clearing the decks for
action, decided to fight another day
and to run for the Quiberon anchor
age. AS a storm was rising and the
coast one of the most dangerous in
the world, he assumed that the Eng
lish admiral would not follow him,
but Hawke pressed on sail and
opened fire as darkness was falling.
He had Fl ships to the enemy's 20
The engagement was won after dark,
Hawke losing only two ships. The
old admiral would turn in his grave
if he knew that a vessel named after
him was sunk on blockade, for 1t was
a kind of duty in which he had no
peer in his time, keeping the sea In
winter gales and never losing ship.

the lime and partly to remove any
temptation to dig them up again and
sell them. The entire farm premises
are the thoroughly disinfected and no
stock allowed upon them for a period
OF approximately sixty days.
Appraiser Values the Herd.
In order to compensate the owner
of his property thus condemned in the
interest of the public welfare, an ap-
praiser is appointed by the state au-
thorities to value the herd. The sum
thus fixed is divided equally between
the state and the federal authorities.
In the last outbreak in 1908 in New
England 1t cost the federal govern
ment. which was then paying two
thirds of the appraised values, ap-
proximately 100000 for condemna-
ton, slaughter and disinfection. The
present outbreak is regarded as much
more serious.
The inspectors engaged in this
work are equipped with a complete
rubber outfit which can be thoroughly
disinfected after each exposure to in
lection. Persons who have not the
advantage of this equipment should
vigorously refrain from exposing them
selves to the least risk of infection.
AS has already been said, the disease
is frequently transmitted by human
beings, and it is really crime for
any one to crafty his curiosity at
the expense of his neighbors. In ad-
dition to this danger there are also a
number of cases on record in which
both children and adults have become
infected themselves. Ordinarily the
disease is not serious in men, but
weakly children who drink contaml-
mated milk suffer so severely that in
few cases death has been known to
result. With adnlts the malady usu-
ally takes no more serious form than
slight eruption in the mouth similar
to fever blisters and possibly SINH
lar eruption on the hands and fingers.
There may be also some fever and
nausea, but there is comparatively lit
tie danger. In countries where the
disease is prevalent many authorities
believe tina. it is fairly general in
human beings but that the consequent
disturbances in health are so slight
that they are not brought to the at
tentiOn of physicians.
Started in Michigan.
The present outbreak originated in
southern Michigan but how the germ
found itu way there is not yet def.
nitely knrwn. 1t seems probable that
some cattle became infected, that
their milk was sent to a creamery
and the skim milk then returned to
be fed to hogs. A herd of these fn
fected hogs was then shipped to Chi
cago where they infected the stock

FIND PLEASURE IN POULTRY
Woman May Find as Much Enjoyment
With Flock of Birds as She Does
on Shopping Expedition.

The woman who finds herself pos
sessed for the first time of flock OF
poultry will soon learn that she may
spend an afternoon working with her
birds and be just as much amused as
if she spent her time shopping, nor
will she be nearly so tired as If she
had been walking around on hard
sidewalks.
Instead of being out of pocket-for
most every woman will buy things that
she does not need if she chances TO
see them-she will find that she has
added to the possibilities for gain.
To be out in the open air and sun
chine is to see more real life than
does the woman who is always in the
house.

CAR GOES 28.7 MILES
ON GALLON OF GASOLINE
Red Crown Shows Remarkable Test.
JUDGED by c. A. c. Committee.

Judged by c. A. c. Committee.
Surprising results were obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when, in dis
lance test on the boulevards, a 1915
big six went 28.7 miles on gallon Of
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel economy
of high test gasoline, by the technical
committee of the Chicago Automobile
Club.
Red Crown gasoline, So test, was de
cided upon by the judges and drivers
as the best gasoline to be used. All
through the trip the clutch was not
slipped, except when traffic congestion
made it necessary. The dash adjust
ment on the carburetor was discon-
pected, and in order that the test be
a fair one, the fan was in operation
throughout the rulI.
Next came the acceleration test.
With the carburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven fro m standing start to
thirty miles an hour in IL 4-o seconds.
The flexibility test saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
up to forty-four.
The test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline is used.

drinking coffee and drink Postum in
it's place, as he and his family had
used Postum and found it a powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink.
It hesitated for a time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally got a package and found it to
be all the doctor said.
"Since drinking Postum in place Of

EXCELLENT POINTS
CONCERNING SWINE
Alfalfa Recognized as of Greatest
Value in Hog Feeding
Care for SoWs.
(By G.. S. MILLER


IF YOU intend to plow your blue
grass and clover pastures next spring,
let the pigs have free range over them
until the snow falls.
No other feed for small pigs ranks
as high in value as skim milk. Ii
YOU do not have plenty of it on your
own farm, better arrange to get some
from a neighbor, even If it takes
trouble to do it.
In the West alfalfa is now recog'
nized as of the greatest value IN
hog feeding. Give brood SOW plenty
of cut alfalfa with small ration OF
corn. say not more than two pounds
per day. and she will come through
the winter in fine condition.
A slop made of shorts and hot wa
ter, fed every other day, is an excel
lent thing for brod soWs.
A good many men will tear them
selves from close proximity to a hot
stove. dash out into the storm, shower
a few bushels of corn on the ground
for their hogs, and then leave them
to shiver and freeze without adequate
shelter during the night. These men
are the fellows who are always sure
there is no money in hog raising.
Since Doctor Moores discovery OF
the hitherto unknown qualities OF
copperas, it has been used with great
success to preserve the health OF
hogs. A very small portion, say a
teaspoonful in a barrel of drinking wa.
ter once or twice a week, is recon-
mended.

Milwaukee.-Dr. A. E. Wright, gov
eminent inspector in charge of the
foot and mouth fight in Wisconsin, and
his twenty assistants, together with
the twenty odd state men in the field,
have begun disinfecting. Every farm
where herd has been found afflicted
with the disease will be disinfected
under the supervision of government
expert. How long it will take to &C.
complish this and to assure the state
that no further outbreaks can be ex-
pected could not be determined by DR..
Wright. He said the task would de-
pend entirely upon conditions.
Must Certify Sale Cattle.
State Veterinarian Eliason issued
an order requiring all cattle offered for
sale at public auction or public sale
between this date and Jan. to be
certified by licensed Wisconsin veter-
inaries that they are free from the
foot and mouth disease and that the
herds from which they come are also
free from that disease. He has notified
all the transportation companies of
the suspension of the order requiring
hides to be disinfected before being
shipped out of the state.
No Quarantine for Poultry.
Fears of extension of the foot and
mouth disease quarantine on live
stock to poultry, have been allayed by
department of agriculture officials.
"The federal foot and mouth quar-
antine has not and will not be extend
ed to poultry, except to farms where
the disease has been discovered
among cattle, swine or sheep" said
DR.. John r. Miller, chief pathologist
of the bureau of animal industry.
Governor Issues Proclamation.
Gov. McGovern has issued a procla-
nation requiring that all shipments Of
cattle, sheep or hogs into Wisconsin,
made since Sept. 1, where they came
from the Union stock yards in Chi
cago, be reported at once to the Wis
consin livestock and sanitary board,
and the herds placed in quarantine
pending inspection by the state body.
'This order will permit us to trace
all probable cases and effectively
check any possible spread of the foot
and mouth disease in Wisconsin"
said DR.. A. C. Eliason, state veteri-
marian.
A rigid quarantine is being en-
forced in Rock, Kenosha and Racine
counties in the vicinity of the farms
where outbreaks of the disease have
occurred.
Dr. Eliason, in answer to the many
inquiries as to the extent of the anti
shipping order, explained that the fed
eral quarantine prohibited the inter-
state shipping of all live cloven-hoofed
animals.
