ELECTRICITY BEST

Most battery rejuvenators shorten the life of the battery plates, though they do restore the battery's strength for a while. The best way is recharging by electricity.

Pneumonia kills more people than

types, the one striking out of a clear
sky, the other gradually developing
from a bronchial cold. The clears sky
type is known as lobar pneumonia.
1t gets this name because it involves
an entire lobe or several lobes of the
lung. 1t frequently begins with a
chill, followed by fever, a stitch in
the side, rapid breathing, extreme
weakness and a cough. The doctor
usually finds the victim of this type
of pneumonia already in bed.
Bronchial Type More Insidious.
Bronchial pneumonia is more in
sidious. Usually it begins with
cold. which later gets into the
bronchial tubes and gradually works
down into the lung tissue. Much of

cure for a cold is rest. The best
way to rest is in bed. Colds given

which often lead to pneumonia, are
highly contagious. There is some
times a tendency to look upon a per-

How Germs Are Passed.
Cold germs and pneumonia germs
are passed from one person to an
other in little particles of saliva.
The common drinking cup is one
means to this end.
Shaking hands is another. The

then pretty soon wipe your mouth.
The inoculation is on it's way.
Probably the greater part of such
trouble is caused by one person liter
ally splitting in the face of another.
Careless, thoughtless people who
would pale with horror at the
thought OF splitting in the face of
either friend or foe. often accom-
plish just this end when they broad
cast an unrestrained cough or sneeZe.
Little particles of their infected sa-
liva strike your lips, or maybe you
are just taking a breath, and the
poisonous germs are drawn down
into your lungs.
Peril in Eye Contact.
Even though you hold your breath
in face of a "front-on" cough, mi
mute particles of infected saliva
strike you in the eye. The eye is
great starting place for a cold or
pneumonia germ infection. There is
an open passage from the eye to the
nasal cavity.
The eye drains through this pas
sage. 1t has been observed that
people wearing glasses, especially
the large glasses of modern times,
have fewer colds than those who
do not.
licking is a habit by which
pneumonia ana other sputum- -porne
diseases are carried. The thumb
licking street car conductor presents
you with a sample of his saliva on
each transfer slip. The waitress
donates hers on your check, the
grocer his on the paper wrapper, the
confectioner his on the candy bag.
Watch 'em. Maybe you lick your own
thumb to turn the pages of your
book. Watch yourself. 1t is a spit
trading habit that imperils him that
gives and him that takes.

Avoid people who cough. Avoid
those who are sick, either with
or with merely a cold"
Avoid cold drafts, wet feet and over
heated rooms. Congestion in the
mucous mbrane makes il easy for
germs to get a start. Remember
that pneumonia is catching. You
may get a virile germ of it from some
one who has merely a bad cold.

LEADER OF GOETHE

Rudolf Steiner Noted for
Great Temple Built on

By the Associated Press
; BERLIN, March 31.-News of the
death of DR. Rudolf Steiner in Swift

I The Goetheanum, temple of the or
aanization. which was burned in
January, 1923, just after DR.. Steiner
had delivered a lecture, was about to
he rebuilt. This had caused much
controversy, as many of the Swiss
people held that the plans were too
fantastic and the building would mar
the mountain, which was the place
OF the battle in 1899, when the Swiss
won their freedom by defeating the
army of the Swabian League.
DIR. Steiner was born in kraijeviC,
Silesia, and early became "A follower
of the ideals of Goethe. He had a
large following throughout the world.
The building erected at Dornach was
dedicated to the memory of Goethe
1t was a vast double-domed structure,
noted for the originality of its de-
sign and the great variety of carvings
in the interior. 1t was built entirely
of wood at cost of 100000 Swiss
francs.
At the time of the destruction Of
the building it was said ii was not
known whether the fire was of in
cendiary origin, but opponents of
Steiners teachings, which were theo-
sophical, are said TO have threatened
to burn the edifice.
Among the better known works of
Steiner are philosophy and Liberty"
Goethe, the Father of a New
Aestheticism," christianity as a
Mystical Fact" and The Three-fold

solution of the problem of the high cost
of distribution will never be discover
ed 10y humanitarian theorists: prObab-
ly it will not be discovered at all. Il
will he worked out by business men,
step by step, in an earnest search, not
for the praise of their fellowmen, but
for profits for their stockholders"
1t is a crime that potatoes should
rot in farmers field while people in
a city one hundred miles away are
hungry. Yet il is the wish of no one
that such a condition should exist. For
every uplifter who is discussing this
problem is after-dinner speeches, there
are thousand shrewd, practical bust
ness men who are striving to find
way to market those surplus potatoes
at a profit. The possibility of profit
is the greatest urge to action ever in
vented.
No one quite realizes how keen is
the chase for a profit until he has been
in competitive business-and every
man thinks his business is the most
competitive of all.
In competitive business a profit is
the reward for efficiency, for doing
job little better than the other man
can do it.
The humanitarians are idealistic;
they desire to leave the world a little
better than they found it.
The business man is no less ideal
stic judged by results, His motive
may be frankly selfish. but he does his
job well, at less expense and with
greater dispatch than the man who is
striving merely to do good.
The payment to the business man is
infnitesimally small, compared to the
benefits conferred on society by his
service. Such reward as he receives
for his ingenuity is quickly taken away
from him by the undertaking of com
petitors.
1t is said that the greatest discovery
in the history of the world is the fact
that if you tie bundle of hay three
feet in front of a jackass he will keep
on walking in a straight line.
That strikes us as very profound
observation. If you can see an appli-
cation, you are at liberty to make it.

land just as good and better than ours
for raising cotton, put from five to ten
acres each year in tomatoes-and have
been doing it for years.
Many of our farmers, who have been
making living at home,' who have
already been diversifying, are getting
into this tomato business with both
feet. Maybe they are foolish and may
be they are wise. Time will tell.
A well-to-do-farmer, who recently
moved TO this county from Illinois, has
bought n piece of land near town.
After buying the land he came right
in and signed up for two acres of iona
toes. He comes from the place where
they have been raising 'em for years
and he surely must know his business.
One of the main apprehensions Of
the men who are pushing the tomato
question i'm this county, is that some
of those who put in tomatoes will not
give them a fair chance. Tomatoes de-
mand care and cultivation-not any
more than any ordinary crop-but with
out proper cultivation they will do like
anything else-fail
It's not going to mean much extra
toll to give our first market-tomato-
crop the proper care And there is no
surer way to determine the possible
value of tomato raising than to give it
fair trial.
