weeks, I have discovered that a
young man in Minnesota was able to
stow away IS cups of coffee at sit

famous "human fly" was able to

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Exercise for Heart Leakage

Exercise Tor Heart Leakage
Question: Mrs. S. ". asks: IF
one has slight leakage Of the heart
and murmur would it be too much to
go upstairs about nine times . day,
and the same number Of times coma
ing down, allowing about twelve or
thirteen steps to climb ?"
Answer: One with heart leakage
should take a reasonable amount Of
exercise. Walking upstairs and
downstairs is good exercise, provid-
ing you walk slowly. Take regular
steps and this acts as q systematic
exercise, but do not let anything
hurry you.
Buttermilk
Question: j. L. asks: SIS butter
milk good food to use in stomach
ailments ?"
Answer: Buttermilk. while
wholesome food, is seldom Of benefit
in stomach ailments. / sometimes
prescribe an exclusive sweet milk
diet in cases of stomach ulcers.
Dry Dark Skin
Question: Mrs. S. B. K. writes:
"My skin has taken on a dark color
and am troubled with dryness all
over my body. l feel like I need oil
to come through my pores to soften
myself. Cream put on from the out
side does no good. Even my haiq
is drying out. 1t feels rough and
stiff
Answer: You doubtless have some
glandular derangement-possibly Of
the adrenal glands. If you are US
ing reasonable amount Of butter
and cream, you cannot look for any
help through adding more oily foods
to your diet. The fasting treat
ment often helps the adrenal glands
in recovering their ability to secrete
normally. Try a fruit fast for q
few days and repeat this fast occa-
sionally if you seem to be getting
any results. Send a large, self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope for my

for Health"

WHOLESALE THINKING

A weather-beaten old house, black dusty crow
tattered q street beggar, and rickety rheumatic
old woman, holds its the busiest road that leads
from Of largest Cities 1t hasn't changed bit
In 20 years.
thin, anemic wsp of blue smoke curls from the
chimney in the winter. Scarlet Towering ounce bushes
blaze in it's grassgrown yard in spring, and gnarled
old apple trees brush their pink petals against the
cracked panes.
In 90 years have man, woman, child
about the old house. Only the curling smoke that tells
of life within.
Years ago never noticed the old house at all. It
was only one of dozens of old farmhouses needing
paint that punctuated the green meadows of open
country quiet and peaceful though the thunder Of
the city were not less than three miles away.
But the years have passed The city has oozed out
TO meet tho country. The road, dusty with its
yellow pollen in summer impossible with it's frozen
ruts in winter, has become smooth boulevard, black
with the cars that it as flies crust comb Of
honey.
The old farmhouses were RACED long ago. and in their
stead queer things now sand-hot dog stands, air.
port waysde skating rink, and row after Of
trim little bungalows.
When was a child looked at the rickety old house
with scorn and derision. I wept for the folks who
lived there thought what shame would be to live
in such ruin
The antique craze had not yet been born. People
did not talk of "the early American" the charm Of
the DID," the ''beauty Of tradition and the pure
lines of the colonial"
But today the rickety shambng, knock kneed spav-
ined old house is almost priceless, and CLOVIS like
jewel among the MODERN" electrified "convenenced"
bungalows
Realtor after realor has attempted to buy it, and
failed. 1t is not antique to those unseen people
who live Within 1t is home-just their house, stark
and drear and grim in winter, and hardly less stark
of the spring.
People have gone mad "the old"-unreasoningly
mad-ad without analysis and discrimination. It has
grown bewildering Children who were ashamed Of
their oldfashioned homes of the long ago, who hung
their heads in shame because of coal-o lamps organs
in the parlor, and bathrooms, while Of their
schoomates boosted Of gas jets and pianos and white
washed iron bathtubs, the country for the
very things they despised.
The old coal oil lamps and melodeons and antima-
and enlarged ancestral portraits and hooked
rugs and maple drop leaf tables and spool beds are
almost priceless Some of these things have beauty.
Some have no more than the old house, spawned and
xickety and knock-kneed like winded nag.
True there beautiful old houses, built with artist
ry and sturdiness, built with solid beam and infinite
care. Such homes worth the fortune the unseen
owners Of the ugly house ask.
There are too, beautiful new homes, worth much
more than the which anything new and modern
these days brings from the high-brows.
And by the same token there ugly old houses and
ugly new houses
Less wholesale thinking is what we as nation need
Less adoption Of the groove Of opinion by
everyone.
