AILMENTS AFTER FORTY.

DR.. Charles F. Bolduan Of the New
York city department of health has
been investigating the cause Of
mans breakdown in middle life.
Men over forty, he says, in the Scien-
tifio American, are prone to attack by
a group Of intimately related dis
eases, all of which are of so insidi-
Gus a character that their presence
is not detected until the alarm is
sounded through the irreparable dam
age they do. He continues: -..

Gently obtained in the routine exami-
nation of the department of health
of the city of New York may be Of
interest, especially since the average
age of these employees, namely, 33A
years for the men and 80 years for
the women, represents the period
when preventative measures should
be begun. Altogether of the seven
hundred examined, the number of
persons who needed either advice or
treatment, or both, was 327, that Is
to say, A of every 100 had, without
their knowledge. some vital physical
defect which might have shortened
their life by number of years if it
had remained undetected."
The lesson he thinks, is plain
When one is nearing or past forty.
one should not fail to see a physician
once a year and submit to a thorough
examination. Never wait, he advises
| until suspicious symptoms make
themselves evident. That is usually
too late. There is consolation, how.

$4,000 over the receipts of the previ-

just issued by the forest service. The
timber sales. which amounted to ST.
$4,000, yielded on account of the de-
pressed condition of the lumber indus

the previous fiscal year. but the gain
was made possible by larger revenues
from other sources. The grazing re-

the water power receipts, which
amounted to not quite $4,000, showed
an increase of nearly $4,000.

When the individual decides upon q

HOW TO KEEP WELL.

Il. by CudS. ". FeTClVai, VI. II.
Every year during the hot weather
the mad dog" scare comes up and 1t
Is valuable to know what to do.
A dog that has rabies or is mad,
shows distinct symptoms and runs in
"a straight line, swapping at everything
IN its gath, and it has rope-like froth
hanging from its jaws. If dog show
ing such signs bites you send for a
doctor and kill the dog Immediately.
The important fact to ascertain is
whether or not the dog is mad. The
head should be cut from the body, as
the germ Of rabies Is conveyed to the
person from the dogs teeth. The
presence of the germ is determined by
the examina ton of the dogs brain I'M
der the microscope. The health de
partment of nearly every large city or
state will gladly make this examina-
ton free of charge. The head should
be packed in sawdust and ice and sent
at the earliest opportunity to the pu5-
lie health department nearest your
home.
AS rabies has a long incubation per-
iod before the disease DEVELOPS, this
may often be prevented by the fnoct-
lation Of the person with doses of the
rabies antitoXin.
This is obtained from the spinal
cord of rabbits which have died after
incubation with rabies, and it makes
the body immune and the dreaded dis
ease seldom develops. However, il

tissues are no. made immune and the
attacks are oftener than not fatal.

punctured wounds do not bleed freely
the germ, If allowed to remain, is
literally sealed in the body. A freely
bleeding wound helps to cleanse it,

washed out by the freely flowing
blood. For that reason surgeons al
ways enlarge punctured wound, and
( dog bites after their enlargement are
ofteuer than not cauterized, though
they may be cleaned by strong an

one discovers a new remedy for ivy
poison. Each one is the best accord
ing to the one who recommends 1t.
Here is one: carbonate or maenea-

little on the poisoned surface, spread
ing it evenly by using Gamers hair

Cool the hot poisoned skin by the use
of an ice bag Keep the skin dry.
Tanning the skin makes the remedy
dry more quickly. Keep the bottle
