HUGE STILL ON FARM IN KENT
Apparatus Concealed Under Floor of

Apparatus Concealed Under Floor of
Chicken House; Arrest Alleged Owner
Federal Agent n E. Jett, together
with Constable Emery and Sheriff
Howard Wix, on raiding tour Fri
day in West Dover hundred near Will
ey's School House, discovered one of
the most complete and up-to-date
liquor stills that have been unearthed
in Kent county in many years, at the
farm of Paul Vesalka. The still was
in one Of the most unsuspected places
one the farm, under modern chicken
house in which were housed several
hundred chickens, the apparatus of
the still being in a dug-out under the
hen house where operations are alleg-
ed to have been going on for years,
and a grade Of liquor manufactured
and dispensed to the thirsty, equal to
any high grade liquor in pre-Volstead
days. Vasalka was arrested and held
in 800 bail for a hearing before
Commissioner Cam this Wednesday
afternoon. The still was under one
end of the chicken house, entrance to
which was gained through an open
ing in the floor which is generally
covered with boards and straw, where
the chickens have full run and would
never be suspected as an entrance to
an under ground still. When the raid
was made Friday, a still Of possibly
IS gallons capacity was in full blast,
several gallons of the first run having
been made. Several barrels of peach
and rye mash were close by from
which the supply was taken to pour
into the still. A water pipe running
from the pump where the horse
trough was located, furnished the
water for cooling process. The mash
was being heated by a two burner
coal oil stove. In an upstairs room
adjoining the chicken house proper
were IL barrels Of cider ready for
aiding in the manufacture of the in
toxicant. These were all confscated

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, Nj. ID.

physician, a victim of angina pectoris
used to say that his life was in the
hands of any rascal who wished 10
annoy him.
A great many men with arterio-
sclerosis have succumbed to apoplexy
rupture of a little artery in the BRAIN
induced by a sudden increase of the
already excessive blood pressure from
a fit of anger True. this happens in
the movies and two-dollar fiction
much more frequently than in real
death.
The toxins or poisons produced by
the growth of disease germs in the
tissues or blood tend to paralyze or
weaken the vaSomotor nerves, so that
the arterioleS relax abnormally and
the blood pressure consequently falls
below the usual level This is particu-
larly characteristic in typhoid fever.
A slight lowering of pressure (hypo-
tenslCn) is often noted by the physi-
clan In the examination Of an individ-
ual who harbors some chronic focal
infection-such as infected tonsils az
the focus or depot of poisoning respon-
sible for rheumatism" which gives
the ''dampness" or the home climate
such a bad reputation. This slight
degree of hypotension is one Of the
early signs elected in the examination
Of many cases Of pulmonary tubercu-
lOsiS. In either chronic focal infec-
ton or chronic tuberculosis o. gloomy
or unhappy temperament IS likely
enough, though the toxin not the
temperament, lowers the blood pres
/ sure in these cases.
An individual can no more tell from
his own sensations that his blood pres
sure in too low than he can tell that
it is too high. Blood pressure is only
sign which the physician elicits. 1t
is not symptom, nor is 1t disease.

If you don't want to spend much
you may just buy a print. A print
is worth only slightly more than the
price of the frame unless it is rare,
or so old that it is in demand by col
lectorS. OF course, you'll choose the
picture because of it's contents, but
do bear in mind the colors which may
jar badly with the rest of the room.

portance to the infants. Without suf-
ficient sleep any child will get nervous,
and the food which usually agrees
with him perfectly will seem to be re-
sponsible for indigestion.
The first three months of a baby's
life consist. or should consist, of little
else than sleep, with intervals for eat
ing and being bathed. OF course, these
periods will take several hours of each
"a 1t is said that babies should be
handled as little as possible during
these months.
Expressions of Love.
While it is indeed true that too
much cuddling and caressing Is not
good for any baby. it is also wrong to
make a mother stifle the warnings
for such expressions of tender love
If she repreSses these ma
ternal instincts during the first few
months the baby is likely to grow up
in an atmosphere tinged with aloof-
ness. This may be for the childs
physical good for the very early
months of his life. but anything that
curtails the beauty of affection be-
tween the two mars later beauty of
Moderation Wise.
The truth lies between extremes,
and it is exemplified in this instance.
A mother should not lavish caresses
on a baby when to do so means that
that child will not be so healthy. Over
cuddling is a risk. But, on the other
hand, a little loving in moderation
harms no healthy baby.
Hours of Sleep.
To permit a baby to lose his sleep
is another thing. There is nothing of
more value to the wee baby than
plenty of sleep. And as the child
grows older he still needs it. After
months 16 hours is thought to be the
least that is wise for him to have until
. months or a year old. A mid
morning and n midafternoon nap
should be included in the regime of
every child until he is years old.
The length of these maps will vary
with individual children. A nervous
child should have more than one who
is phlegmatic, but he will find getting
to sleep more difficult. 1t is impor-
tant to get the high-strung nerves re-
Taxed by quiet pleasure before bed
time.

What T omorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
divided into three parts. In the fore
noon they are favorable; in the after
noon distinctly adverse. In the eve
ming they are restful and benign,
without being actively stimulating.
Such conditions demand concentrated
effort during the early part of the
day, as the indications point. along
these lines, to successful endeavor.
After noon it would be polite to re-
lax, and do only those things which
necessity dictates. The evening should
prove very propitious for all family
or social reunions, as it is, in view of
the signs, fair to assume that only
peace and harmony will prevail.
Children born tomorrow will have no
easy time during infancy, and, in order
that they may attain a normal ma
turity, it will be necessary to regulate
very carefully their nutrition, and Sc
cure for them an abundance of fresh
air. In disposition they will vary
according to sex. The boy will be
comfort or convenience of others, slow
to learn, but quick and eager for all
sports and play. He will lack ambi-
ton and be satisfied to remain in any
position in which he may find him.
self. The girl, on the other hand,
will be always busy, quick and eager
to learn, but not very addicted to any
outdoor sports. She promises to be
magnetic, attractive and very com.
panionable.
If tomorrow Is your birthday, you
are very much a creature of impulse,
and you often do and say things that
cause your actions to be misunder-
stod and your motives questioned. You
think and act quickly, but not always
with good judgment. You are never
disposed to weigh the merits of an
issue, but jump to conclusions, which,
more often than not, are at variance
with what your decision would be IL
you had duly considered the pros"
and cons" You seem to forget that
just because you say it is SO, it does
not necessarily follow that this is the
last and only word.
For your future success 1t Is abso-
lutely necessary that you should cul.
tivate poise and self restraint, II you
fail to do this, your passions may lead
you into serious difficulty, even
though your thoughts and intentions
are the best.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Charles Sumner, statesman;
Thomas M. Cooley, jurist and pub
licist; William j. Stillman, journalist
and author; James A. Burden, manu-
facturer; Clarence King, geologist and
author; Henry E. Dixey, actor.
