PAIN AND FEAR

Are you afraid Of an operation?
Most people are. Perhaps you are
afraid that you will be hurt-afraid
of pain?
Pain has been one of the most valu-
able agents in the preservation of the
race as we'll as the individual. It
has taught us that we must not touch
hot stoves, put fingers in cog wheels,
drink boiling hot liQuod, allow sand
or foreign bodies to remain in our
eyes or fish bones in our threats.
We regret that pain is not the uni
versal danger signal of all things
harmful to us. One of the greatest
causes Of death beyond middle life is
cancer and unfortunately pain is not
an early symptom.
If overeating and intoxication pro-
duced pain instead Of sleepiness our
race today would bega very different
one and the individuals would be ages
ahead of the present state, physically.
1t took ages to find Out what different
pains meant and to realize that many
pains are danger signals of internal
disorders or arrangements of inner
neutrality-suspicious. which can be
corrected if these danger signals are
needed and the proper diagnosis fol.
lowed
Appendicitis still ranks high as
the cause of death-because of slow
response-of seeking expert atten-
ton after the first warning pains.
Pain may be your greatest friend
in that it is warning signal-it may
be faint or excruciating. 1t does de-
mand that you find out what ails you
Now in answer to the opening ques-
ton, Are you afraid of an opera
tion?" If that fear is Of pain, put
your mind at rest for you will feel
no pain. Anesthesia has made opera
lions absolutely painless. Fight that
vague instinct, fear of pain-which
has been handed down to us for
thousands Of generations.
If at any time you find it necessary
to have an operation to save your life
or to prolong or make your future life
more comfortable, try to abolish fear
from your mind.
Like worry it only breeds trouble
and never helps.

. The value of the home vegetable
garden cannot be entirely; reckoned
in dollars fol. it provides vegetables
both fresher and fuller favored than
are often to be found on the market
stand. Then the added pleasure and
health found by many in growing and
tending a garden is not to be valued
in money. 4ss
On the farm the home garden is an
important factor in lessening the
cost and improving the quality of the
family living g The value alone of
these gardens frequently amounts to
$3.50 per farm. During the past few
years of hardship and enforced econ
omy in farm communities, these who
have best weathered the trial have
in many cases been those who have
made the most of every possible
means for producing their living d.
rectly from the farm. The garden is
one of the most important Of these
sources.
Yet the census of 1920 show that
over one-fourth of all farms or total
Of 1924 failed to have home garden
in 1919. This condition is recurring
each year. At very moderate val
uation of $50 per garden, had these
farms produced gardens the total
would have amounted to $931,2OO
nearly one million dollars worth of
farm living values. This $50, spent
at the store for food, could have been
saved by the home garden. Thous-
ands of city homes could each year
utilize the back yard or a vacant lot
to reduce expenses, add to their
health and pleasure and provide an
appetizing variety to their tables.
The long sunny summers and fertile
soils of the state of Washington
should stimulate, every home to have
its garden.
A small garden we'll cared for is
always more valuable than large
plot poorly managed Half of the sue
cess lies in soil preparation. Pillow
or spade the ground, then thorough
ly harrow or work the soil until all
clods are broken to tiny particles.
Clods dry out and since all plants
must find their food in the liquid
form, they are worse than useless in
a garden. The finer the soil the more
valuable is the plant food and the bet
ter the vegetables develop. Thor
ough preparation is almost as good
as. an application of fertilizer. A poor

soil we'll worked is often better than
good ground carelessly handled.
Vegetables to be grown will vary
somewhat with the climate, soil and
taste of the owner, but every garden
should contain variety which will
provide something for each month of
the year. Too frequently the garden
SERVES but for a few months in the
spring and early summer. Even small
gardens will produce large variety
by succession cropping such as using
beans or tomatoes to. follow spinach
or radishes on the same ground.
From the standard vegetables some
thing can be used in each month of
the year, either fresh, stored or
canned. Leaf vegetables, as spinach,
lettuce and cabbage. Bulb and root
crops, as onions, beets, carrots and
parsnips. Plant onions early. Beets
and carrots planted in successive lots
will lengthen the season for fresh
use. Plant parsnips early for they
require long season for develop.
ment.
Then there are beans, peas, toma-
toes, corn, squash, cucumbers and
pumpkins. Plant beans and peas in
successive lots. Do not transplant
tomatoes in the open until the
weather is settled and warm. The
cucumber, pumpkin, squash, and corn
all need more room and may have to
be left out of the real small garden.
For one willing to give more special
attention, vegetables like caulifower,
celery savoy, cabbage, brussels
sprouts, peppers, egg plant, melons,
satisfy and ground cherries are good
Vegetables will supply vitamins,
salts and minerals, all essential to
health. The garden produces several
times the food per square foot that
any field or farm crops do. Few
homes can afford to be without a
garden in 1926.

Cost of Poor Roads
On Auto Tires Shown

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
Pullman.-Some startling figures con
corning the cost of poor roads com
puted in terms of the wear on auto
mobile tires, are revealed in recent
bulletin compiled by the engineering
department Of the State College. The
bulletin is the second progress report
on the relation Of road surfaces to
automobile tire wear.
This bulletin gives the rates at
which tires wear away on different
types of roads. According to H. ].
Dana, chief investigator of the prob
lem, the state spends many millions
a year on automobile tires, and this
factor alone makes good roads a fl
nancial necessity.

Senator Bernard Downing
New Bill Puts Them On Par With
The Law and Medicine.

The Law and Medicine.
ALBANY, March 3O.-Assembly-
man Eberly Hutchinson of Johns7
town, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, gave a hearing
today on the bill to regulate public
accountants recently introduced by
him in the Assembly and by tSena-
tor Bernard Downing Of New y ork,
in the upper house. It is expected
that passage of this bill will end
the three year fight of the public
accountants Of this state to have
their profession placed under an
Accountancy . Board, appointed by
the Regents of the University Of
the State, somewhat similar to the
supervision that exists in the legal,
medical and other professions.
Two years ago a similar bill pass
ed both houses but was vetoed by
The Governor. Last year a modi-
lied bill passed the Assembly but
died in the Senate Committee. III.

son-Downing bill meets the ideals

fession from the invasion of un-
qualified accountants. 1t also grants
