The 'Y" Men Are To Be
Found Where Battle Is Hot

"If you want to know what'the Y. M.
C. A. means to the soldiers, go where
the fighting is hot" is the regular
reply of the American soldiers in
France, according to cablegram re-
ceived recently by the National War
Work Council telling of more secre-
taries who have been under liquid
fire attacks, as we'll as gas and shell
fire. The American Expeditionary OF
ficers have sent scores of letters to
the Paris headquarters of the "Y"
praising the work of the Red Triangle
workers, declaring them to be indis-
pensable.
More than a thousand "Y" secre-
taries are in advanced positions and
dugouts under constant shell fire.
There are no cutters and they re-
fuse to be relieved, saying that where
the troops go the Y. M. G. A. will stick.

Middle age, too, is the time when
cancer most commonly develops. But
the peril of middle age is arterial de-
generation.
What causes arterial degeneration
Eating too much. If you are above
the normal average weight for one Of
your age and height, of course you are
eating more than your system requires,
and the excess is a burden to your
circulation.
Alcohol in moderation. Alcohol
wears out the arteries.
Syphilis, the poisons OF various
other infectious diseases, lead poison.

SUMMER AND THE BABY.

Hot weather is very hard on the av'
erage baby, particularly the teething
baby. 1t is, therefore, necessary to
take extra care of the little ones dur.
ing the heated term. Inasmuch as
the summer is here, the Health De
partment is anxious to cooperate with
all mothers in order to help them It'd
the babies over.
Twenty-Five years ago about one
half the babies born died the first
year. Now about Is per cent die the
first year Still this rate is much too
high.
Note first, that:
Ten Bottle-Fed Babies Die to Every
One that Dies when the Mother
Nurses the Baby In other words, bot
tle-fed babies have only one-tenth the
chance to live that breasted babies
have. So nurse your baby by all
means, If possible. 1t is a crime moi
to do So Feed the Daby regularly
and not every time it cries.
Battle the baby two or three times
a day during hot weather.
Give baby pure water to drink sew
eral times a day.

Rheumatic Rheum 1t Isn't

It has taken the medical profession
Just 2,400 years to discover that, after
all, there is no svch disease as rheu-
matism.
And 1t follows that the weather
can't cause a disease that doesn't ex-
ist.
Worse still, it is plain that if there
isn't such a disease, your rheumatism
medicine can't cure it.
But what interests the victom Of
joint disease is, What in Sam Hill Is
the matter, then, If 1t isn't the rbsu-
matiz?
Well, let's try to get 1t clear.
Granted that the acute inflammatory
trouble known as rheumatic fever
or acute articular rheumatism" is
caused by germs which invade the
system, usually, from the tonsils. Vic
Tins of this atrociously painful and
dangerous malady know that an az
tack often follows shortly after a sore
throat or tonsilitis or quinsy. And the
danger In such attacks is that the
same germs that cause the sore throat
or tonsilitis and the inflammation of
the joints will just take perverse
course and lodge in the lining of the
heart instead of lodging in the lining
of joint. When that happens thu
victim has acute endocarditis; and If
the germs happen to set up business
on one Of the heart valves, the Gisto--
<f rac,tltipo tho in
fiammation and scar formation there is
likely to leave permanent yalvular
leakage lifelong handicap.
But all these old chronic joint tror-
bles labeled rheumatism" what are
they?
They are various kinds of joint in
lection, with various species Of germs,
and the germs get in, not only from
the tonsils, but from several other in
nocent-appearing sources as well They
get in from trifling infected gums, old
and painless assesses about the roots
of the teeth, old inflammatory condi,
lions In the pelvic organs of women |
and men, old running ears, chronic I
trouble in the air spaces in the skull .
accessory to the breathing passages,
and in some cases even from such I'M
suspected places as ingrowing nails
This has all been worked out and scien
tifically proved; the germs have been
caught in the act, arrested and iden'
titled
The way to cure that old "rheuma-
tisn," then, is to find the depot Of
poison, and destroy 1t or clean it up.

we can comply wifi
this request without hardship to our.
selves, as we have so many frest
fruits and vegetables grown at home
which supply US with very desirable
food, so that we may relax somewhat
from the use of wheat. The people o.
the state, generally speaking, are very
prompt to respond to an appeal from
our government,
We have large crop Of new pota
toes which are on the market, and
should be consumed locally, as it will
save transportation if we use the foods
we have at home, and not call upon
the railroads to carry foods, when we
have abundance Of cereals to meet oul
needs. The fruit crops of berries
prums, peaches, etc. are before US and
should be used at this season of the
year, as they are delicious and very
health giving.
In connection with these fruits and
potatoes, our war gardens are produc
ing large quantities of varied vegeta
bles, which the housewife should dt
versify in preRaring the meals so that
no one need complain of a sameness
in the meals.
At this time no canned fruits OF
vegetables should be used, on the con
Irary, the housewife should endeavol
to can and preserve any surplus OF
fruits and vegetables available fol-
their future needs,
Sugar may be secured for this pun
pose, and the government encourages
its use for preserving purposes.
These short-lived foods fruits and
