Every person embodies in his character and
organism traits and resemblances derived
from long generations of ancestors, and ii is
every seventh year that we have the power
to transmit these traits and characteristics
to our offspring,
DIR. Swoboda offers no scientific eXplana
tion for this fact, but confines himself to cit
ing the statistics he has gathered and which
prove to his satisfaction that his theory is
correct.
He has examined hundreds of records, and

The Mellon Institute. of pittsburgh,
is now carrying on extensive expert
ments to determine smokes effect
on life and property and to try to
devise some way Of lessening the
evil.
An overwhelming majority of in
vestigators both in this country and
abroad have reached the conclusion
that smoke and SCOT are injurious
to the respiratory organs, harmful
to the eyes and responsible for a
general lowering Of human vitality
and an increase in the death rate.
The practice Of householders in
keeping the windows shut in order
to prevent the entrance of smoke
contributes to the mentally and ply
sically depressing effects Of the pail

Why You
Really Do
BURN UP
With FEVER

~ o YOU know precisely what fever is and what
l j it does to you? You never have cold with
out some accompanying fever, aud II s the
fever which makes you uncomfortable. Almost
every one knows that the normal heat OF the BODY
is gS6 Fahrenheit In Young children it is slightly
higher and in old persons little lower. II you
have studied physiology you know that the normal
heat of the body is caused by the combustion oil
nuritive substances in the muscles, bringing about
the absorption of oxygen and the liberation OF car
hon doxld II is also held that about one-hfth OF
the heat is derived from the action OF the glands
which are so busy in their work Of secretion during
digestion.
What then happens during fever that makes
,he temperature OF the body rise to los or l06 de-
grees? You know that the body gives of some OF
us heat when normal, through the pores OF the
skin and by expiration from the lungs. When you
breathe into the cold air il forms what looks ike
Steam and if you place your hand on the body you
can feel the heat which is being given of from
every pore,
But when the normal functions have been upset,
when most commonly catch cold what hap

suit Is that the heat being constantly generated IN
the body is shut in just if you were to make a
fire under a pot OF water which was Theoretically
sealed The steam would grow so powerful as to
burst the pot very quickly.
The scientists claim that in fever two elements
work to raise the temperature: the pores and
channels of exhaation being clogged no elimination
of heat takes place and to make matters worse, the
production of heat is greater than ever because OF
the upsetting of the normal conditions
