HOOvERIzE" FOR HEALTH
From the Extension Division Of the
University of Wisconsin.


Personal interest, as we'll as patriot
ism, dictates hearty response to Mr.
Hoover's program of partial fast days.
AS has been frequently urged in this
column, most Americans have, in the
past, been eating too much. 1t will not
hurt us bit, therefore as a part Of our
contribution to national defense to en-
dure trifing privati0n or to develop a
taste for perfectly good articles of food
which have not been popularized
hitherto.
There is something about the Hoover
idea and the manner in which the peo
pie are responding to it that suggests a
spirit Of what might almost be called
religious conservation. This in turn
suggests the part that fasting has
played in practically all of the old
religions. There is very good reason
for believing that, as a religious rite. it
has had as great health and political
significance as religious
In the early days of civilization, the
priests, as the best educated persons in
their respective communities, were the
physicians and health officers as we'll
as religious leaders. This being so,
what could have been more natural or
commendable than that they should
have given to some Of their health
rules, the force of sacred religious
exercises and discipline?
It may be true also, that in their
function as statesmen their regulations
were inspired in part as food converva-
ton measures similar to our present
one. Certainly one cannot read the Old
Testament without being impressed that
famnes were frequent enough to cause
grave concern to the public leaders and
teachers.
Nothing is detraced from the force of
fasting either as q religious Or a
patriotic exercise by the knowledge that
it is 4 health exercise as we'll. Posi-
bly,, it will be shown some day that the
general participation in wheatless and
meatless days has contributed some
thing toward cutting down the preva
lence of kidney and heart diseases
which have apparently been very much
On the increase for the past few years.
ESQ, this would be some payment for
the direct suffering and loss of life war
is responsible for.

"Jud" Parkinson Injured.

Darlington Republican Journal: MI
Jud Parkinson, farmer residing III
Northern Willow Springs, met with an
accident last Friday that nearly cost
him his life, and while he is improving,
is still in precarious condition.
He was in the field cutting corn.
Later he was seen putting his team III
the barn, and a closer inspection
showed that he was bleeding profusely
from a serious cut in the head. With
out speaking he sank into comatose
condition and did not recover con-
seriousness for two days. Medical aid
was Immediately summoned and tn
doctor found severe scalp wound, and
closer examination revealed that his
skull had been slightly fractured.
It is supposed that ne had been oiling
his machine and was kicked by one of
the horses. He, as yet, has not been
unable to tell his story, and has no re-
collection of bringing the team to the
barn.
