TIMELY rR1dHrNos1s WARNING

Cook pork welp' is the seasonal
warming of the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture. Uncooked or
poorly cooked pork may result in the
serious illness known as trichinosis.
This disease, which is painful and
frequently fatal, is caused by small
parasite that sometimes occurs in
pork.
Hogs that harborhthe parasites of
.richinosis show no symptoms, and
pork containing the parasites looks
exactly the same as other pork
The most practical means of pre-
'enting the disease is thorough
cooking of pork products. The heat
IF cooking destroys the parasites.
Hence well-cooked pork is safe and
:richinosis can not be acquired If
he simple rule is followed of cook
ng pork we'll before it is eaten.
Outbreaks of trichinosis are gen
orally most common during the
holiday season when various special
Jaw pork products and delicacies are
consumed. The trouble also is likely
% occur after the customary winter
log killing on farms, when raw
products are eaten, hence the time
mess of the present warning. The
main point to remember is to cooF
pork well.

rector of the Committee for the Study

spent a good portion of his life In

musical work with the insane and

Musical exercises stimulate their men,

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING BY
WISE CROP ROTATION

The starting point in business
farming is crop rotation, or the
establishment of systematic cropping
systems to maintain soil productivity
The three farm practices which con
tribute most effectually to the
production of such major crops as
wheat, corn, and oats, are cul
tivation. crop rotation, and the use
of fertilizers, both manure and
commercial materials. These three
operations rank almost equally ir
importance, but the Bureau OF Soils
of the United States Department o.
Agriculture points out that while
the cultivation of the soil and the use
of fertilizers are more or less ex
pensive, rotation of crops does mo-
appear as an item of expense in any
farm cost-accounting system.
1t is true that farmer may spend
time or energy in planning rota
ton, that is, in determining 6
sequence of crops which will enable
each crop to derive the maximum
benefit from preceding crops ane
give the greatest benefit to sub
sequent crops, and in getting the
rotation established on his farm
This, however, is counted as an ex
preston of his managerial ability
for which he receives reward if
the form of managerial income, il
through good management he sue
ceeds in realizing net profits. Thus
in rotation of crops. farmer has a.
his command, without any monetary
cost to him, a means whereby he
can materially increase the output OF
his land and reduce crop-productior
costs.

RECKLEssNEss AND REGU-
LATION

Only a relatively small per cent
of automobile drivers are careless.
But they are sufficient in number
to make driving on the highways
hazardous. On Sunday or holiday
many people refrain from driving
because of the hazard. 1t is neither
fair nor is it necessary that care
less drivers should drive others off
the highwty, to which and on which
everyone has an equal right.
Automobiles are safe, highways
are safe and driving practices must
be safe.
An oil company, operating several
hundred trucks, has not had a col
lision or accident on the highways or
at railroad grade crossings for a
number of years, although during
that time it's trucks crossed railroad
tracks more than S1,000,00O times.
It selects its drivers with proper
care, instructs them in safe practices
and gives them to understand that
failure to stop, look and listen be-
fore crossing railroad track, or
failure properly to observe traffic
rules and safe practices on the high
wasy, will result in dismissal from
the service.
1t logically follows that public
regulation of the same character
would accomplish like result, and
with automobiles increasing in num-
Der, with proportional increase in
congestion and hazard of accident
the point has been reached and the
time has arrived for affirmative
legislative action in this regard.
But compulsory automobile insur-
ance is not the solution. it will moi
reduce accidents; it will tend to in
crease them by removing the last
vestige of personal responsibility
from persons already careless.

Delaware has an election law that
should make the.voter put forth more
effort to- cast his ballot, whether he
takes any interest in the election,
or not. -
The law provides that those regis
tered voters who fail to vote shall
have their names stricken from the
registration list.
Uuder the terms of the permanent
registration law, the permanent
registration is good for ten years
but the failure to vote or the change
of residence into new election
district will cause the removal OF the
names from the list and cause the
voter so effected to become regis
tered again.
The returns from the recent cleo
ton in Kent county, Delaware, show
that as a result of this law two
thousand voters in that county will
be compelled to register again be-
fore they can vote at the, election,
two years hence. This is because OF
their failure to cast their ballot at
the recent election.
Prior to the next general election,
the registration will meet and strike
from the list the names OF those
voters who failed to vote and it will
then be necessary for these voters to
get registered again in order to
participate in the election.

GOOD POSTURE

''Sit straight; stand straight

the daily dozen are thoroughly
familiar to boy and girl scouts and tc
everybody else who knows the rules

ticularly worth following, because

tiles has a direct bearing on, health
For that reason, all children who
have been examined at the health
conferences held throughout the
State under the auspices Of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
State Department of Health and who
have had bad posture have been
referred to their own doctors for
advice or for corrective exercises.
Speaking of the close connection
between posture and health. DR..
J. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the
Bureau said: Everyone recognizes
the person, man, woman or child
with stopped posture when stand
ing or sitting, but apparently mos
people assume that this posture is
an inherited condition, for which
parents or ancestors, and not they
themselves, are responsible.
ION the contrary, it is known that
poor posture Is generally the result
of bad habits, and like other habits

attention or Indifference. Moreover
it has been definitely shown that

position when standing or sitting.
with shoulders thrown back and
chest prominent, with the abdomen
fat, furthers health; while contract
ed chest and relaxed abdomen are
often factors in inducing ill health
1.-THE causes of these facts are not
far to seek. A narrow chest con-
tracted in any direction, diminishes
the space required for the normal
extension of the lungs, and free
action of the heart, and consequently
these organs are often less able to
withstand diseases and strain when
thus unduly hampered. Again, the
prominent relaxed abdomen, which
is so often present in children with
stopped shoulders and weak alb
dominal muscles, permits the sag
cling of the stomach and intestines
with consequent stretching of tho
nerves and blood vessels supplying
them. and so it interferes with
digestion. These form what doctors
call a vicious circle. The sagging
abdomen tends to bring on indiges
ton, and this in turn produces
further relaxation.
These abnormal conditions are not
necessary; they are more apt tc
occur in some children than in
others, but they can nearly always
be prevented or. corrected in their
early stages, by giving attention to
upright posture when standing and
sitting, and by taking simple setting
up exercises night and morning.
