Old Cows Made Young.

Even sober old bossy has yielded to the call
of youth. Eleven dairy cows, grandmothers all
of them, many times, have been made young
and sprightly and restored to full usefulness
by means of a serum extracted from the glands
of pigs. The experiments were made by the
state bureau of animal industry of Pennsylvania.
The serum was given to the old cows in
capsules, and though they have been under OBJ
servation for some time. it is reported that
they have developed no piggish traits3> only
complete bovine regeneration. No use now
to get out the old horse fiddle and play 1.-The
Tune the Old Cow Died On" There aren't
going to be any more old COWS, or dead ones,
either. Bossy has drunk of the fountain of
perpetual youth. She has Joined the flappers.
Before we know it she will be bobbing her
horns and wearing knickerbockers.

Cheapening Human Life.

On the same day two boys were shot dead by
policemen because they failed to obey COM
mands to halt. One killing occurred in Daven-
port and the other in Chicago. In Davenport
the youth was in the railroad yards, where Off
GERS were searching for crime suspects. In
Chicago the yoang fellow ran out of a restau-
rant after eating meal for which he failed to
pay.
The Davenport boy had committed no Of
tense, while that of the Chicagoan was popably
a boyish prank. 1t is deplorable that human
life should be so cheaply regarded, but officers
Of the law can't be blamed when they employ
extreme measures in such times, when the
country is overrun by criminals. The person
who has done no wrong has nothing to
fear in obeying policemap's command to halt.
If he has been guilty of some offense, if he
values his life he had better do the same thing.
A policeman in cases such as the two cited,
would be censured if he failed to bring his
volver into action.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Young Ones Should Not Fast,


Do you think it is a good idea for
a high school girl, who is inclined
to be overweight to go to school
without breakfast and remain in
school until. 1 D. m. without food
1 get very hungry and my head
aches, but l feel that / am over
eating and would like to omit
breakfast.-(A.C G. 3D.
Answer-No. In my judgment no
boy. or girl under 10 years of age
should fast or reduce the diet I'M
less by personal direction of his Or
her own physician.
Pasteurizing Milk.
Would you advise pasteurizing
milk for an infant when the milk is
believed to be free from tuber-
culosis and has an average bacter-
ial count of 5000? Does pasteuriza-
ton impair the food value or diges-
tibility of milk?-tMrs. T. C. M
Answer-No. Milk should not be
pasteurized if you have the assur-
ance of the health authorities that
it is from tuberculin tested herds
and handled in a sanitary way
from COW to consumer. Even GER
titled milk, the cleanest and purest
and safest milk. for infants, may
contain as many as 10000 bacteria
per cubic centimeter (about 10000
in each teaspoonfuD, but harmless
bacteria. In my judgment-just
an opinion without any scientific
facts to cite in support of it-pure
raw milk is more digestible and
more nutritious and more certain
to contain the full vitamin value
than the same milk pasteurized.
Unless you have the health depart
ment's, o. k. for the milk you buy,
by all means play safely by using
only pasterized milk.
Radium and the TOnsiIs,
Some time ago 1 read an article
about radium treatment for the
tonsils instead of having them re-
Please let US have your
advice about that.-(Mrs. R. Al
Answer-Some physicians have
reported gratifying results from
both radium and X-ray treatments
of Infected tonsils in children and
adults, the treatments being given
at intervals of two or three weeks
and several months being required
to determine the result. For mere
" hypertrophied or enlarged ton
sis this treatment is not of much
value. Whether X-ray or radium
treatment should be resorted 70
instead of removal of infected or
diseased. tonsils is an undecided
question.
Castor Oil for Warts.
My sister had a wart on her up
per lip, to which she applied castor
oil, rubbing little on the wart two
or three times a day for two or
three. weeks, and the wart COM
pletely disappeared.-R. S. Id
Answer-Warts often do come
and go mysteriousIy.

Connie had caught the society

in Joe's mind And she had caught
it from his own brothers wife
which made it a great deal worse.

ability to design and embroider her
own gowns, run an apartment on
B street, attend whist clubs, en-
terrain, and keep a maid-all on her
husbands moderate salary.
We're going to visit there this
week end, Joe," said Connie, enthus-
iastically, so don't make any en-
gagement for tomorrow. Oh, dear,
don't you think we could afford an
apartment if we sold this placer
you might, if you wanted to
mortgage my salary for the rest of
our lives said Joe, dryly.
"Oh, hubby! and you know what
horror I have of debt" Comics
blue eyes were reproachful.
well, we're going there for Sat
urday anyhow. I think Marthas
awfu1ly clever, and I'm going to try
to be just like heri"
Joe groaned and betook himself
to bed.
The Saturday night dinner at his
brother Jim's was apparently sue
cess, though Joe did not seem to en-
joy it. His head ached, and, after
brief smoke with his brother, he
excused himself and went to bed. In
the morning he couldn't get up.
Pains shot through his chest, he
shivered with cold, while his fore
head was wet with perspiration. In
terror, Connie called a doctor, who
pronounced the trouble pneumonia,
forbade moving the patient, and ad-
yised trained nurse.
Martha was very gracious, plans
were made, the nurse engaged and
Connie donned a bungalow apron,
prepared for a long siege. Every
thing went smoothly until Monday
morning. Missing Martha at the
breakfast table, Connie tapped on
her bedroom door
I'm not going to get up this

Anemia.
Absence of sunlight is one OF
the most important causes OF
anemia or weak blood. People shut
it out of the home because it fades
the rugs or something or because
other people do. Window shades
and shutters are worn just be-
cause they are the fashion and not
because they are needed Sunlight
is an essential for the production
of the coloring matter OF the blood
(hemoglobin) as it is for the pro-
duction of the coloring matter of
plants (chlorophyD. Those whose
occupation keeps them shut in all
day, allows them to go home only
after shutdown, and requires them
to be at work before the sun is
high enough to give strong light,
are pretty sure to be anemic.
The general use of denaturiZed
bread and cereals is certainly an
important factor of anemia. If
you remove the iron containing
layer of the wheat and of other
cereals, you rob the blood of some
thing it must have. Not merely
iron, but Vitamins, life elements.
Pale, insipid, tastless bread makes
anemic, pale, lifeless people Whole
wheat bread, 'old fashioned oatmeal,
unpublished rice, these things not
only. feed the blood but correct the
constipation which is almost a.
universal ailment of civilized peo-
pie. Undenaturized food prevents
and cures pellagra and beriberi.
We have not only economic but
also the best of hygenic reasons for
going back to the undenaturiZed
rare OF our great great GRANDPA
theirs.
The excessive use of cathartics
helps to cause anemia. Castor oil.
for instance, usually causes blood
corpuscles to appear in the evacua-
tons; so does calomeI. And salts
is notorious for weakening the
blood. Yet lots of people take
salts because they have backache
which they mistakenly attribute to
kidney trouble-bachache which
spells anemia
Internal bleeding hemorrhoids
frequently cause anemia. Toxemia
(poison in the blood from insid,
ious diseases like Bright's disease,
pulmonary tuberculosis, syphilis.
maleria, and focal infections in the
gums, teeth, tonsils or elsewhere,
are common factors.
But in women, at least, a most
prolific cause of simple anemia-
that discouraging sallow complex
ion and dull heavy eye-is insufic-
lent oxygen. Another way of say
ing this is excessive carbondioxide
in the blood Or still a better way
is lack of outdoor exercise. Al
woman may obtain plenty of exer-
else at her homework, yet she
must get~out and take a good walk
every day if she wishes to pre-
serve her good looks and her
health. There is something about
the open air which we can't ex-
actly describe-probably an ectinic,
chemical infiuence-but something
indispensable for good health.
For anemia, poor complexion, |
dull headache, that tired feeling,
nervous depression, poor appetite

ceive the liquid. Slot-machines
did not come into general use I'M
til about 100 years ago.

expression he escaped by the skin
of his teeth"AR E.
