There IS bill pending in the house to
exempt from seizure lawyers books and
physicians medicine chests on the ground
that they constitute the tools with which
the members of the respective professions
earn their living. Such law is an Injustice
to other human beings whose property is the
pledge for their debts. Members of either
profession are better equipped to pay their
honest debts than any other workers, hence
every dollars worth of their property should
be responsive to seizure. The bill is good
one to kill just as matter of common fair

PREVENTING OLD AGE.

The saying, "A man is as old as his
arteries" is one that is familiar to
most of us, but that hardening of the
arteries-Or arterio sclerosis, as it is
technically called-is hardly due to an
improper diet, is not so generally
known as it should be. This disease,
which physicians says is one Of the
chief symptoms of old age, is caused
by damaging the arteries through the
circulation in the blood of certain
poisonous substances whose most COM
mon source is the putrefaction which
takes place in the large intestine un-
der certain conditions.
Physicians point out that one Of the
most serious dietetic errors in this re-
spect is eating too freely of high pro-
tein foods, such as meat and eggs. Pro-
tein has a tendency to undergo rapid
deterioration, and putrefaction of pro-
teids introduces poisons to the sys-
tenn which result in hardening of the
arteries.
"a frequent cause of hardening Of
the arteries is overeating," says DR..
John Harvey Kellogg. Most people
are guilty of overeating. They can
reduce their ration one-third and
sometimes one-half without any appar-
ent inconvenience to the system.
"Arterio-sclerosis cannot be cured
because the situation is that Of a house
which has been burned only until the
smoking embers remain. Although the
fire itself may be put out, this does
not reconstruct the house. The de-
posits of lime in the walls of the ar
teries however, may be retarded, and
&C nsiderable degree of Improvement
noted by strict attention to proper diet
and by the use of warm baths and
plenty of exercise in the open air. The
use of highly spiced foods and condi-
ments should be abandoned by those
who wish to avoid hardening of the
arteries"

excised at the same time, but the sur
gical removal of sarcoma, even at the
earliest possible time, may be futile
if, perchance, some metastasis has al
ready occurred.
There is this favorable point, how
ever. While ordinary cancer has no
definite limiting wall, but shades off
imperceptibly into sound tissue. sar-
coma is generally sharply defined from
surrounding tissues. SO that, when a
sarcoma is removed, provided metas-
tasis has not occurred, the patient
Will surely recover-a large number
of the patients do recover.
But the important idea is to remem
Der that there is such thing as gal
Looping cancer, that it may affect a
person of any age, that it resembles
an acute inflammation or swelling,
and that it is fatal in few weeks or
months unless radically treated at the
very first

SARCOMA, THE GALLOP-
ING CONSUMPTION

CDR. Brady in Evening Wisconsin,
Years ago we used to hear much of
"galloping consumption The term
signified a very rapid course Of the
diease, what doctors now call acute
phthisis, or a sort of tuberculosis
pneumonia-an acute Inflammation Of
a whole lobe or lung due to tubercle
bacillus.
There is a form of cancer which
merits a similar title. 1t is called
sarcoma. This kind of cancer pos
sesses several distinguishing charac-
teristics unlike ordinary cancer.
Sarcoma occurs in persons of any
age, from infancy to advanced years.
Ordinary cancer is unusual in young
persons.
Sarcoma develops acutely, whereas
ordinary cancer is insiduous in onset.
A child or adult suffers some slight
injury, and weeks or months later
trouble begins at the seat of injury,
swelling, pain, tenderness, the symp-
toms suggesting rheumatism" or in
fiammation or an abscess.
Galloping cancer may affect any Or
gan or tissue. 1t frequently develops
in the long bones of the arm or leg,
in the jaw, in the soft tissues of the
abdominal wall, in the nasal cavity.
Ordinary cancer spreads through its
roots, that is it follows the lymphat-
ic or drainage channels of the affected
area and takes root in the lymph
glands near by, as in the armpit in
cancer of the breast, or in the kernels
under the jaw in cancer Of the lip, face
or tongue. Sarcoma spreads through
the blood stream. Minute cancer cells
break off from the parent cancer and
are hurled afar through the circulation
lodging perhaps in the lungs, brain or
elsewhere in some distant organ.
Hence, the surgical treatment Of or
binary cancer offers fair prospects if
all the neighboring lymph glands are

ALCOHOL AND FAT.

Not all hard drinkers are fat, but the
tendency of alcoholics to obesity is
too marked to escape notice. A well
known doctor says it is because the
alcohol usurps the function of the fat,
which accumulates. This is how he
explains it:
1T is noticeable that those addicted
to the use of alcoholic beverages often
reveal a tendency to corpulence which
is prOportiOnate to their use of the
drug. The fairness is not a sign of
health. 1t is not even an indication
that alcohol is harmless. 1t is mere
~ the result of the complete oXida-
ton of the substance of alcohol by the
human body. The body will oxidize
a two-ounce quantity of alcohol in "a
hours, and will do it so completely
that no trace of alcohol can be found
in any eXcretOry substance. This
simply means that the unnatural heat
produced in the body by the presence
of the stimulant answers, for the time
being at least, for what would other
wise be produced by the expenditure
Of fats and carbohydrates. These lat

NEW COINS THIS MONTH.

Dimes, quarters and half dollars of
new design will be minted after July
1, Secretary McAdoo announced re
Gently. For the first time since 1891
a change will be effected in these coins.
The announcement disclosed that
the half dollar has practically fallen
into disuse.
The new design was selected with
hope of restoring it into more general
circulation, it was indicated. Under
the new coinage each piece will be of
different design. The half dollar and
dime models were made by Adolph A.
Weinman, and the quarter dollar by
Herman A. MacNeil. Both are sculp-
tors of note.
The face of the new half dollar bears
full length figure of Liberty with a
background of the American flag fly
ing to the breeze. The goddess is
striding forward to the dawn of a
new day, carrying laurel and oak
branches, symbolic Of civic and mill
tary glory.
The reverse side shows an eagle
perched high upon mountain crag,
wings unfolded. Growing from a rift
in the rock is a sapling of mountain
pine, symbolic Of America.
The design of the 25-cent piece is
intended to typify the awakening Of
the country to its own protection, Sec
rotary McAdoo's announcement stated.
Liberty, a full length figure, is
shown stepping toward the country's
gateway, bearing appraised a shield,
from which the covering is being
drawn. The right hand bears an olive
branch of peace. Above the head is
the word Liberty" and below the
feet, 1916" The reverse bears fig
ure of an eagle in full flight, wings
extended, and the inscriptions United
States of America" and e Pluribus
Unum" Both the half dollar and the
quarter bear the phrase I'm God We
Trust"
The design of the dime is simple.
Liberty with winged cap is shown
on the foreside and on the reverse is
a design of a bundle of rods and
battle axe, symbolic of unity, where
in lies the nations strength"

~CHEAT" FOODS FOR BABY.

CDR. ". Brady in Evening Wisconsin,
The meanest thing a man can do is
to take candy away from a baby,
literally or figuratively.
A great many mothers who really
worship their children do worse than
that. They rob the baby of its birth
right, for social or personal reasons,
and substitute some artificial food.
But right here is where the meanness
of it comes in. The substitute food is
a cheat-foOd, a fake-foOd Let us say
it is condensed milk or some other
kind of canned nOurishment. For a
time it agrees" perfectly-why, any
doctor who ventures to intimate that
it is not a suitable food for the baby
only shows his ignOrancei Look at
the baby-as fat as a young shOat!
And grandma herself, Grandma ought
to know, for she raised fully 90 per
cent of her babies by hand. Grandma
can assure the young mother that the
baby is thriving on the cheat-food and
that the young doctor will know more
when he grows older.
Well, the big, fat, fabby, white, un-
human looking baby surely thrives on
the REIMBURSEMENT, if mere flesh is
any criterion. He may even have his
picture published as a testimonial or
what our almOst-food does for frail
babies. His misguided parents are en-
couraged in the notion that quantity
rather than quality is what counts in
a baby. That is, unless they are rude
" enlightened by the matter-of-fact
experts in a better baby contest.
But after a few months baby begins
to sort of grow peevish and sickly.
Somehow he doesn't get along as fast
as the neighbours phenomenon, who
had nothing but Old Doctor Natures
nourishment all through, or perhaps
just plain COWS milk. The doctor is
finally consulted. Baby is found to be
anaemic, has a tendency to scurvy, is
much too fat, and shows signs of APP
preaching ricketts,. Food is wrong
yes, it makes the baby fat, but it does
not make blood and muscle. Too much
sugar in it. Not enough fat-none at
all to speak of. Also. it is sterile, or
nearly so-has lost its life in the can
-ldChS SOuIClIlAlS We hAOW AOI W4AclIs
that makes natural food essential for
health and life, the something that
causes scurvy and other troubles in
babies or adults who try to live for
long time on preserved, canned or any
other than fresh meat
Mothers must bear in mind that just
because a certain food happens to
agree with the baby, or because he
likes it and grows fat en- it, is no rea-
son for assuming the food must be
suitable for his needs. These canned
substitutes for human milk and for
cows milk are cheats, every one of
them from the baby's standpoint.
Their proper field is this: To use
temporarily when necessary to tide
over an emergency. Of course, they
are free from bacteria, and usually di-
gestible, because they contain so lit
tie nutriment as prepared for feeding
and hence are useful in emergencies
where little food is needed. But no
manufacturer has yet produced a sub
stitute for fresh, pure, certified, pas
teurized, or tuberculin-tested cows
milk for feeding babies.

How to Be Well

ter are the fuel stored up by the body
and normally burned up in the pro-
duction of necessarily bodily heat.
when alcohol is consumed it fur
nishes heat-though not Of a natural
temperature-and this expenditure is
avoided. The fat is therefore stored
up in the body used, and corpulence
is the necessary result. This, of
course. is not a normal condition nor a
proper process. 1t becomes more I'M

Humorous Comment on the Trials and

set of "P. o. Gems" that humorously
tell of some of the things that make
postmasters and their assistants go

of anywhere in particular, they are
funny enough to reprint:

to ask the postmaster what is the mat

if there is any accommodation about
him at all he will tell you all about it.
IF your paper isn't there don't fail
to rip it into the postmaster, for he
is to blame.

box and the windows are closed, run
to the back door and give it to some
