HEALTH TALKS

An overureu person is a poisored
person.
lie is poisoned by his own products
arising from the chemical processes
Of cellular life.
These wastes circulate in the blood
poisoning the brain and nervous sys-
TEN as well as muscles and glands
until normally burned up by the OK
ygen of the blood, removed by the
liver or kidneys, or eliminated
through the lungs.
When one labors beyond ones lin
its these wastes accumulate faster
than the body. functioning normally
can throw them off. The result is ex.
haustion, depleted vitality and a low.
ering of the workers powers of re-
sistance. to disease. Early physical
decay then threatens.
While for years it has been recog-
nized that certain occupations are
dangerous, such as lead-working or
processes where dust or lint fills the
air, it is now known that in a modern
factory or an Office or store, where
work of ordinary difficulty is per.
formed, if the hours of labor are un.
duly prolonged, the poison of fatigue
works its havoc in the system Just as
surely as does the dust inhaled by
the marble grinder.
In many cases the last persons to
comprehend the menace of fatigue
are the workers themselves.

CONSIDERED IDEAL WAR CROP
Why the Cultivation Of Artlchokes Is
Being Encouraged by the French
Authorities.

Jerusalem artichokes, the sort grown
in Michigan, are being doomed in
France as an ideal war crop, for the
reason that they grow quickly and
abundantly in any kind Of ground ex-
cept that which Is wet and marshy.
They derive most Of their sustenance
from the air and not from the earth,
but the richer the earth the larger
will be the tubers.
Henri Bin in La Nature gives some
instructions about their cultivation.
The tubers should be planted as soon
as the frost Is out of the ground, at
depth Of from two to three inches, in
rows about IL inches apart and about
nine inches between tubers. AS soon
as the shoots appear they are to be
narrowed; in May they are to be
earthed up and again in June. The
cultivation Is like that Of potatoes.
They may be harvested by the end
of October and the harvest will last
until the end of March, for frost does
not injure the tubers at all, so they
may be left in the ground all winter.
Jerusalem artichokes will yield from
% to "a tons to the acre and 10 to IL
tons Of excellent forage, which should
be cut In September.

Wild Geese Had to Post.
pOne Trip North

Large fiocks of wild geese, too fat to
dy across the mountains on their MI
xrat0ry visit to Northern climes for the
summer, are stranded In the Sacrament
10 river, near Misunderstanding to a
Sacramento (Cal.) correspondent Of
New York World.
This is a report from Deputy War
den ]. s. White Of Shasta county dis
frict to the state fish and game COM
mission. White states that hundreds
Vt geese are lettering about back yards
and can make no further progress, be-
Ing unable to negotiate the rapids Of
the Upper Sacramento.
State Deputy Commissioner George
Neale explained the unusual conditions
rs being due to the great abundance
Of goose grass up and down the valley
because Of the late rains. When Mr..
and Mrs. Goose found themselves
weighted down by suddenly acquired
avOirdupois they took to the river as
the next natural thing to do, since fly
Ing was out of the question. Swim
ming was good until they encountered
rapids, and now they can go no further.
Deputy White says the geese are as
t1lne as house cats, but he Is guarding
the fiocks until some disposition Is
made Of them or means found for
boosting them over the mountains on
their way north.

EXAMINING ONES OWN MOUTH
How Sufferer From Toothache May
See for Himself Why He Needs
= Dentists Attention.

1t will no longer be necessary for a
person who desires to count his teeth.
or to see whether they need the at
tentiOn Of a dentist, to turn and twist
himself before mirror, with his
mouth open, trying to make the light
strike so that he can get view Of
his molars and bicuspids and other
dental appurtenances. No, he can
now put the light inside of his mouth,
thanks to a new device which Is COM
pact enough to permit this, says Pop
ular Science Monthly.
This device, expected to prove Of
service to dentists and physicians, is.
in effect, an attachment to any cleo.
trio light socket, fitted with q voltage
reducer so as to light small opal
bulb, to which is attached a small
magnifying mirror. and which can be
inserted into the mouth and held In
place with an attachment to the
cheek.
The hollow tooth In the rear can now
be examined with ease. and a plug of
cotton saturated with oil of cloves in
serted to insure "sleepful" night.
This invention is not intended to
rob the dentist of his livelihood. II
simply enables the toothache sufferer
to obtain temporary relief until 1t is
convenient to undergo q dental opera
uOn.

How Soldier Sacrificed Himself.

Corp. Homer Wheaton, the first Sy.
racuse IN. ~ boy to be killed in ac-
ton in France, lost his life by throw
Ing his body over a grenade knowing
that 1t meant instant death to him,
but in doing so saved the lives Of four
comrades near by. This information
was given by Sergt. Edward Greed Of
the 101st regiment, who has just re-
turned from the trenches.
Sergeant Greed says the five were in
a dugout preparing for raid In No
Mans Land and were heavily armed
with grenades. One fell to the floor,
the pin dropping out. and 1t would
explode in FIVE seconds Corporal
WHEATON without any hesitancy leaped
forward and dropped on the bomb to
save his comrades. He made no eff
fort to grab 1t, but deliberately sac
rificed his life to protect the others.
1t exploded, instantly killing him.

HOW DOGS ARE BEING
LIZ w TRAINED. TO AID

w TRAINED. III AID
! BLIND FRENCH SOLDIERS
Training Of dogs to lead the
blind has become an important
institution where thousands of
animals will eventually be pre-
pared to lead sightless soldiers.
The work is being done under
the direction Of the military au-
thorities by amateurs who
owned kennels Of police and
hunting dogs before the war.
Several hundred poodles are
continually trOtting about the
neighborhood and through the
village, some Of them "gradu-
ates" of the big training school,
leading ''poilus" who left their
sight In the trenches or In the
battlefield. This real expert
ence puts the finishing touch
to the dogs education. The
training is divided into two Pc
RODS, during the first Of which
the dog learns what is called
carriage" or road behavior, alb
stinence from quarrels and re-
sistance to temptations to play
ing with other dogs, neglect Of
garbage boxes and butcher
shops. Next he is taught to
avoid obstacles and how to
pick his way across the street
with regard to vehicles. Then
he is turned over to a sightless
hero of the war and kept under
observation for a few days to
make sure that his training is
complete.
The blind man. too, requires
a little training with the dog,
for he finds it an entirely differ
ent matter to follow the string
after having been led by the
arm. Guided by person, he
abandons himself to his conduc-
tor and loses all notion of self
reliance, feeling that he is domi-
mated by another will than his
own. Consequently he INSULT
GENTLY develops his remaining
senses to make up for the one
that is lacking. Led by a dog
which must be ordered, no mat
ter how efficient his training, he
develops the sense Of touch and
hearing with remarkable rapid
ity through the necessity Of re-
naming constantly attentive.

be performed by boys incapable of
