FIGHTING JOE" is
NATIONAL CHAPLAIN

"Fighting joe is the title which
has been bestowed by general consent
on Rev. Joseph Lonergan of Durand,
ILL.,, recently elected national chaplain
Of the American Legion. And the title
is not airy tinsel, either 1t has
background.
For 1t harks back to kid days when
as boy with two fists who knew
how to use them and Father Joe
sometimes found employment for
them in ways other than earning
money by working on railroad tracks
to go to college. The story goes back
to the tine when he was a famous
football star, "the miracle halfback"
at st. Viator's college.
The nickname recalls a baseball ca
reer eliminating in a batting average
for his last year of .44S, rather a big
league average. 1t carries picture
Of Father Joe, the ecclesiastical stu

GETTING THE RIGHT KIND
OF FOOD

MUCH has been written about the
M need of properly balanced diet
for both children and adults. The
need of milk, fresh fruits and vege-
tables has been often urged a GER
tain amount of meat is known to be
necessary. How can the average
housewife know whether she is feed
ing her family in the proper proper
ton? She can't stop to weigh or to
calculate the exact number of Gallo
ries in each. She needs some general
practical working rule by which to
check up her food purchases and to
estimate the relative amount of each
kind of food she is giving her family.
Volumes have been written by doc
tors, chemists, dietitians and food ex-
perts. but the real need is something
that will make 1t possible for the busy
mother to answer the question. What
shall we have for dinner today?" and
TO be sure that her answer will give
her family the food it needs and in
proper quantities and proportions.
In a recent book on Food Prod
ucts." Prof Henry c. Sherman, the
weIl-known authority on foods, has
tried TO answer this question, not in
terms of food values and ealories. hut
in the very practical terms of dollars
and cents Nor is he simply theoriz-
ing. as he says that the plan has been
followed in his own household with
marked success. The advantage is
that it is suited TO any family, of any
number and of any income
How much money do you pay out
each week for food? 1t may be FIVE
or ten or twenty or fifty dollars. No
matter. Divide this amount into FIVE
equal parts Spend one-tifth for
fruits and vegetables. one-fifth for
meat. fish and eggs, one-fifth for milk
one-fifth for breads and cereals, and
one-tifth for sugars, fats (such as
butter, salad oils. etc.) and miscel-
laneous groceries.
such diet would probably be not
only more healthful but also more eco
nomical than the average II would
provide less meat and more fruits and
vegetables.
If this seems too much trouble two
simple rules can be followed These
are. spend at least as much for milk
as you do for meats of all kinds. and
as much f,r fruits and fresh vege-
tables as you do for either
Check up your bills next month and
see hnw you're running Try this
olan and see how Il works

MANY POSTS AFTER
MEMBERSHIP HONORS

American Legion posts throughout
the nation have been extremely ac-
tive for some weeks in signing up
members in advance for 1925, accord
ing to Frank E. Samuel, national di-
rector of organization and member
ship. Posts have been tumbling over
themselves to claim honors for early
membership returns Never before
has there been such a contest and
such a scramble for recognition in
this work, 1t is declared.
First dues for 1925 were received
by national headquarters from Joe
Williams post at Farmer City, Ill,
which had signed up IA men for 1925
by the first of October. The first post
in the country to sign up more mem
bers for 1925 than it had had in 1924
and to send the dues to national head
quarters was Victor Cornell post, Peli-
can Rapids, MINI. Fowler post, Fow-
Ter, Ind, the home post Of Thomas S.
Mcconnell. department commander
for 1925, was close second. Other
posts which were among the first to
go over the top In this hot contest
were Pulaski post, Detroit, Mich, and
Roy Cole post, Grand Ledge, Mich.
The Florida and Connecticut de
partments are staging contest to
see which win have the larger per-
centage of 1924 membership signed
up for 1925 by the time the bells ring
out on New Years eve. Florida sug
gests that the losing department buy
the delegates and alternates of the
winning outfit q big dinner at the
Omaha convention of the Legion next
year.
Florida appears to he looking for
something That department won
only three of the big Legion prizes
offered at the 1924 convention. They
carried home the trophies for the
largest percentage of membership
signed up by March over the pre-
ceding years membership, for the
largest percentage signed up for the
year over the preceding years total
and that for the largest number of
man miles travelled to the national
convention at st. Paul. Florida sure
ly basked in the limelight.
Colorado, Utah and Wyoming are
mixing things in a little friendly
rivalry, Western style. The winner
is to be the department which signs
up for 1925 the largest percentage of
its 1924 membership and will receive
a stand of department colors present
ed by the losers.

BRIGHT's DISEASE

nj EARLY one hundred years ago,
- an English doctor, Richard
Bright, wrote a paper for medical
Journal, in which he described GER
tain symptoms which lie had found
were associated with definite changes
in the kidneys. Since 1927, this con-
dition has been known as Bright's
disease.
Bright found that. in all cases of
this disease, both the kidneys we're
affected. They were small and hard,
the part Of the kidney which does the
work of excreting the urine from the
blood was much smaller than 1t should
be and the kidney was largely made
up of tough scar tissue, showing that
the kidneys had for years been sub
ject to prolonged irritation.
Along with this change in the kid
neys are changes in other organs.
The arteries become hard and thick !;
the heart. which has to force the
blood through these stiff and mar
rowed tubes, has become enlarged,
especially the left side, which pumps
the blood throughout the body. This
produces high blood pressure.
The symptoms caused by this con-
dition are not sudden and marked,
but come on so slowly as to be hardly
noticeable. The peculiar thing about
them is that they apparently have
nothing to do with the kidneys. A
popular belief, largely due to patent
medicine advertisements, is that pain
in the back is an early symptom of
Bright's disease. This is not true.
Most people who think that they have
Bright's disease, have no kidney dis
ease at all. Many people who do not
suspect 1t, have it, or are in the early
stages of it. Even an advanced case
may be entirely unconscious of il and
may possess great mental and phys
ical ability. II is this very insidious-
ness that makes Brights disease such
a danger to middle age
How does this disease show itself?
In a general feeling of poor health.
The patient is tired, sleeps poorly.
has frequent headaches and digestive
disturbances. The tongue is coated.
The patient has to get up, sometimes
several times a night to empty the
bladder. The amount of urine is in
creased and there is constant thirst.
Attacks of bronchitis are common and
the patient suffers from breathless-
ness, especially after walking briskiy
or climbing stairs. There is often
trouble with the eyes. The skin is
dry and the perspiration scanty.
Sometimes the ankles will swell or
the skin under eyes will puff up.
These symptoms. especially in men
and women of middle age, are danger
signals and should call for an imme-
date and careful physical examina-
ton Dol't wait for them to become
worse Find out now what the trou-
Bile is and how far it has gone.

Then comes the time when Father
Joe took up his work with the Eighty
sixth division organizing at Camp
Grant. He was without military
status and without salary. but he car
ried on. While there he lectured to
all officers at Camp Grant on the ne
cessity of religion. Shortly afterward
he got commission as first lieuten-
ant chaplain, and began his extraordi-
nary activity in the fighting game. 1t
was he who spoke at Camp Grants

addressed $4,000 of the division gath

which was flashed over the country:
