0verdoses Of Sugar Cause
of Throat Disturbances Is
Statement of Medical Man

Singers frequently complain of ca.
tarrh and nearly always blame the
American climate for their trouble.
Do the singers, however, sufficiently
consider the food they eat? We have
been informed by medical expert,
whom we respect as an authority. that
most of the throat disturbances in the
United States are caused by overdoses
of sugar. He says he has proved his
statement on a number of vocalists of
various temperaments and physical
characteristics by inducing them to
eat excessively of sugar and sweet diet
late in the evening and then to OBJ
serve most carefully the condition of
their tlroats and tongues in the morn
ing. After he had brought on ca
tarrhal troubles through the abuse Of
sugar he invariably restored the vocal
chords to their normal condition by
putting his patients on Il salt diet and
prohibiting the sugar diet.
We are but quoting a doctors con-
versation and we do not for moment
pose as medical experts ourselves.
We believe, however, that the doc
tors advice should at least receive
careful consideration.-Exch

for scratching under shelter in winter.
An extra shed for scratching will also
lie appreciated by the hens. 1t can be
built at small cost and will afford
ample room. In summer the fowls
can rOOst under the sheds.
The yards should be about ten times

the better, and the deeper the houses

ROADS AS DIVIDEND PAYERS
Where Good Roads Enable Farmer to
Save One Hour Per Week He
Makes Big Gain in Year.

If a farmer saves an hour a week
by being enabled to use good roads
as opposed to bad roads, It would
mean 81 hours year; estimating the
use of man and team as being worth
Sc day. this means saving of $500
year.
Suppose his farm is assessed at
$4,000, and the additional tax levy
due to the issue of road bonds by the
county runs to 81 per thousand, which
would mean $40 year additional
taxes as against a saving of $31. 20 on
time alone. This means that he is
investing $40 and drawing dividends Of
$500. an interest rate of 3l2 per
cent.
