SECRETS OF
HEALTH
DR.. G. A. i. Reed

ETHE movement for open air
i life is rapidly becoming world
wide, that Is, OF course, among
well informed people who have
both sense and grit enough to
escape from the oyerheated and
underventilated houses such as we
have in America. This movement
has gained much in momentum
from the demonstrated superior
value of open air life on the
development, physically and
mentally. of perfectly well chill
dren to say nothing of anaen1ics,
pre-tuberculars and other under
par persons of both early and
mature life. The world has come
to see that IL the breathing Of
oxygen, possible in fullest meas
ure only in open air life, is good
for the sick and the near sick.
it is equally valuable for the near
well and the actually well. In
other words, If 1t is good for cure,
it must be still better for proven
ton.
Records from places as far
apart as Manchester, England;
Leysirt in the Alps; San Fran
cisco, u. s.. A., and Durham,
South Africa, all alike show that
children who live open air lives
with no artificial heating suffer
little if at all from catarrhs and
infectious fevers. Zulus, who
wear nothing except a few beads,
do not know what respiratory dis
ease is. The Greengate School in
Hill, consists of large shed,
open on the south side. with
large unclosable louvre ven
tilators on the north. In winter

ally falling to freezing point.
There was no heating apparatus
and the children worked and slept
during the day in the open or
under the high roof Of the shed.
At first, the smallest children
complained of cold, sat hudled up
like little dormice, too sleepy to
work. For them additional clothes
and rugs were provided, and they
had longer rest times and hot
milk in the middle of the morning.
In three or four weeks at the
most, however, even these mites
got accustomed to the cold and
scorned their blankets. They even
asked If they might discard their
overcoats. Their breathing became
deeper, their compilations improved
and colds and feverish attacks
lessened and finally disappeared.
Their nerve energy increased and
their muscles gained in tone, while
bones curved and bent from rick
cts Strengthened out. Their men,
tai work, too, improved in quail
ity and quantity.
The chief medical officer of
health for Durham counteracts the
facilitating effects of the warm,
moist climate by urging people to
battle in the sea every evening
and free use OF electric fans in
houses, factories and schools. An
air current on the back of the
neck may produce colds or sore
threats. but blowing on the face
never does, even though the wind
is enough to raise papers on the
desk.
1t has been proved over and
over again that exposure of the
naked bodies of children to sun
and open air has q wonderful cur-
alive effect on states Of general
weakness and run dQwn-ness.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1928-09-13
HOOVER'S FARM PROGRAM

AS usual, Herbert Hoover shows his
remarkable faculty for getting to the
bottom of things when he tackles the
problem of farm relief. He is definite.
He sees the need. He sees the diff
culties. He has program. Like the
good economic engineer he is, he has
surveyed the job in all its aspects and
he has drawn the blueprints. And
like a man who loves his work, he
somehow gets over the idea that he
and no one else, is the man to do it.
Never has presidential candidate
stated a problem more clearly, ana
lyzed it more carefully, and asserted
more earnestly his determination to
solve it, than has the Republican NOM
inee in discussing agricultural relief
in his Speech of Acceptance.
"The most urgent economic problem
today is in agriculture" is his open
ing sentence on the subject. at must
be solved if we are to bring prosper
ity and contentment to one-third of
our people directly and to all of our
people indirectly. We have pledged
ourselves to find solution. These are
solemn pledges and they will be full
filled by the Republican Party"
Before dealing with remedies, he
diagnoses the causes of the trouble.
They are four in number-need of
further tariff protection, cheaper
transportation for farm products, bet
ter distribution, and reorganization of
the marketing system. Then he pro-
ceeds to show what he, as the new
leader of his party, will do to put
through legislation that will give the
farmer the needed relief.
No time will be lost, Mr.. Hoover
declares, in putting these various
measures into effect. "The Republi-
can Platform offers an affirmative pro-
gram" and needs only the detailed
elaboration of legislation and appro
priations to put it into force" he as
serts.
Mr.. Hoover has no patience with the
possible objection that the Federal
government may have to advance
some hundreds of millions of capital
without obligation on the individual
farmer. A nation which is spending
ninety billions year can well afford
an expenditure of few hundred mil
lions for workable program that will
give one-third of its population their
fair share of the nations prosperity"
