DANGER! BLOW NOSE eau.
TIOUSLY
From the Extension Division OF the
University OF Wisconsin.
"A. &. 0EARHoLr.. M D.. DIRECTOR

A very large proportion OF deaf PEG
pie owe their affection to so simple and
avoidable cause as improper blowing
Of their noses. This seems almost in
possible to believe and yet it is the te>
timony of leading specialists in diseaS
of the war The ear has very few di-
orders which do not arise in the nos
with which it is connected by sort
blind alley passage called the Eustach-
ian Tube.
You will recall in the construction of
a chiid's drum, there is small hole in
the side to equalize the air pressure on
the inside and outside of the head or
membrane. If one were to place d
powerful lamp at this opening in the
toy drum and suddenly force a large
volume of air inside it, the head would
become stretched as consequence.
Repeating this over and over would
soon destroy the elasticity of the drum
head.
Now, the Eustachian Tube, extending
from the nose to the ear, has the same
purpose as the hole in the side of the
drum. The drum proper in this case,
is the ear drum, very delicate mem
brane. One side Of the ear drum is ex
posed to the atmosphere through the
external ear. On the other side, the
Eustachian Tube, leading to the nose,
pqualizes the pressure of air on the in
side of the ear drum. Hearing depends
upon the vibrations Of the ear drum III
which it is comparable to the vibrating
disk of telephone or photograph.
When the nose is blown in N amer
which closes the nostrils, air is forced
down the internal or Eustachiau Tube
with sufficient force to stretch the
membrane Of the ear considerably
After such method has been persisted
in for years, elasticity is destroyed and
the ear drum loses its power to ,vibrate
sensitively in response to sounds. Since
hearing depends upon this vibration,
the individual then becomes wholly or
partially deaf according to the extent to
which the stretching has progressed
Noses should be blown gently and
never with the nostrils closed, not even
one at a time A child should be
taught that making horn of his nos-
destroys the drum in his ear. He
should know that his capacity for
friendship, success in business, enjoy
ment of many of life's greatest pleas
ures and privileges depend to a great
extent upon his maintaining his hearing
and that this is mainly up to him.

1918 or 1919?

AS in geography and navigation,
longitude is measured from some arbi-
trary line, such as the meridian
through Greenwich, so in historical
chronology dates are fixed by giving
their distance from some arbitrary
point of time, usually chosen because
Of some remarkable occurrence that
signaled it. Such fixed point or
epoch, forms the beginning Of an era.
The Christian era starts at the birth
Of Christ, on January 1, and although
the exact period of the event is con-
jectural, historical chronology uses this
unit, among others, to measure the dis
lance in point Of time and to fix dates.
From the above it will be seen that
December 81, 1917, means that count
ing from the supposed birth of Christ
1917 years were fully completed years,
and with the present January l was
begun the 191Sth year, which, in it's
turn, will be completed with the fol-
lowing December 81.

whether he is eating butter or mar
garine?
Until there is way, this fight has
got to go on, because there is where
the substitution occurs. 1t isn't in
the kitchen, grocery store, or factory;
it occurs when it is put on the plate.
1t sounds like bigotry to say that mar
garine must not be colored. The mar
garine peOp1e-and l have had long
conferences with them, long and pleas
ant, but absolutely divergent confer
ences-the margarine people say their
product must be colOred, they can't
sell it otherwise.
We say it can't be cOlored because
if it is it is sold for butter, and that
is the only situation today, the only
thing worth talking about. Neverthe
less, the public has not been educated
to look at it from the standpoint of
national salvation at all; it looks at
it from the mere standpoint of com
petition between butter and margarine,
between the dairyman and the packer,
when it is Il question that is under
mining the dairy industry by making
it meet unfair competition in the mar
ket, and when our industry is under
mined, national prosperity is jeopar-
died.
Now, the question is as big rs that.
Legislation and public opinion haven't
touched the essence of that question,
and it remains for you in every posi-
Bile way that your influence can be ex-
erted, to see that public opinion Is
enlightened on the subject. 1t is not
merely competition; it is the question
of the unfair burden put upon the
dairy industry by misrepresentation;
and that is the whole thing.

ground upon which to have any differ
ence with margarine, except one, and
that YOU know perfectly Well-that
the effort in all margarine business is
to sell it for butter and you know, as
long as it is SO sold it is war to the
knife and should be so with every
dairyman. AS long as there is any
way to distinguish margarine from but
ter, the ultimate consumer must at
all times know what he is getting, and
that will solve this problem.
Who is the ultimate consumer?
Why, the purchaser, the manufacturer
will tell you. That is the argument
from Washington, from Chicago, and
elsewhere, but that isn't true. The
ultimate consumer is the individual
who gets a piece of butter put on his
plate wherever he happens to be, and
the question then becomes: Is there
any way for that individual to tell

ture has worked out q series Of war
time dairy herd rations which many
are finding of great service to them
under present conditions.
"Give the COW a complete ration"
he urges. "a 1000 pound cow should
have one pound of concentrates (grain
and mill feed) for every three Or four
pounds of milk produced. Cows pro-
ducing a high percentage Of butterfat
should receive the greater proportion
Of concentrates.
''In addition to the concentrates a
cow needs 80 pounds of corn silage and
10 pounds of hay; or, 80 pounds Of
roots and - pounds Of hay; or, 8
pounds of dried beet pulp and 10
pounds of hay or, 20 pounds Of clover
hay; or, 90 pounds Of timothy, prairie,
or marsh hay with to 2 pounds Of Oil
meal"

which may be helpful to dairymen in

SARAH HOLDEN LAMPHERE

Sarah S. Holden was born in Mex
leo, Oswego County, New York, on
March 3rd, 1889 and departed this
life at the same place June 21st, 1913
aged seventy-nine years three months
and eighteen days.
In 1859 she was united in marriage
to Oscar J. Landphere who later en-
listed in the 18th, New York Heavy
Artillery of the Civil War.
After the war Mr.. and Mrs. Land
phere came to Michigan to reside, and
it was in Paw Paw where the husband
died on November 30th, 1902.
There were seven children born to
these parents, four of whom are now
left to mourn the loss of the loving
mother, who has just departed. They
are Mrs. Fred Giddings of Lawton,
Miss Josephine Landphere and Sam
Landphere of Edison, South Dakota,
and Frank Landphere of Mexico, New
York.
Funeral services were held from
the home of the son in Mexico, New
York, and the body was brought to
Lawton for burial in Prospect Hill
cemetery.
