Know Thyself
By DR.. CLIFFORD G. ROBINSON

far as it goes, but to abolish all
breeding places is better. Let us
pass sentence of death on the whole
fly family.
Rats, and f1eas from rats; dogs
and cats. and f1eas from them, are
disease carriers. Cancer and heart
disease are about the only two lead
ing diseases that do not show a
marked decrease during the past few
years in the United States. Cancer
now leads in the diseases which are
most fatal to human beings. A re-
cent news item credits Dr. Bazvim,
a prominent French scientist, with
the statement that feas from dogs
and cats carry cancer germs to those
with whom they come in contact.
Old rags and clothes from disease
infected districts, winds and dust,
drinking water. impure milk, super
stition and even the modern auto
mobile have their part as disease
carrying agents.
Do Your Part
Why a nationwide or worldwide
campaign Of death to rats is not in
augurated is beyond understanding.
They are an expensive luxury. They
cost us $500, 100000 a year. or two
dollars per person in the United
States.
Rats carry typhus. bubonic
plague and other diseases. Why not
offer a prize of 100000 for some one
who will tell us how to get rid Of
them? If modern Pied Piper could
only charm them away this amount
would be a mere trif1e to pay.
Many different problems Of disease
carriers have been met and solved
by cities in our own country and
greater ones are yet to come. Eco
nomic and social conditions demand
the determination Of all these pests.
Do your part.

We used to keep this accumulation
of adipose tissue under control by
means of stiff corsets. Today, we
must get rid of it entirely.
That old trick of touching the floor
with the finger tips, holding the knees
stiff is one way to discourage the fat
cells. All twisting and bending exer-
cises are good.
But there are other exercises that
are just as effective and not quite so
tiresome.
Here is one you would do well to
master:
Stretch out on a fiat surface with
the arms stretched out over the head
and the feet just escaping the floor
or bed. Draw the knees as far over
the chest as they will go, at the same
time bringing the arms to the sides.

Flies. mosquitoes. ticks, lice. 1eas

OF course, you know that in your
thirties and forties you have a nat
uraI tendency to exercise less, eat
more and consequently to become
thick about the waist and hips. But
you must combat this if you want to
look young, and you must be con-
scientious about your diet and ex-
ercise.
I prefer to take these exercises in
the morning and 1 recommend that
you do tho same. But if you neglect
them in the morning. won't you please
do them before you retire?
