Washington, Feb. P1Charges that the authority of the common wealth of Pennsylvania lis being now, and has been for a year, en- ployed to break the present bitumi- nous strike" were made by Gift ford Pinchot. former governor of Pennsylvania.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. g. A. +. Reed

YOU, like everybody, are liable
! to pneumonia. This il one
OF our most prevalent and most
fatal diseases.
It Is an Inflammation Of the
lungs ana IL caused by germs Of
q particular variety that reach
the bronchial tubes by being
breathed in. or down, from our
upper air passages.
Pneumonia occurs in epidemics
like meales and smallpox, but
the susceptibility to it ID not
universal. The victim must not
only receive the virulent germ,
but must also have a lowered
residence.
Lowered bodily resistance is one
of the main causes Of pneumonia.
Life indoors lowers the resistance
and makes the germs more easily
transmissible. All facilitating
diseases like colds, whooping
cough, typhoid, etc., prepare the
BODY for invasion Of the pneu-
monia germs. More than rs per
cent of the cases start with a
common cold, and tuberculosis,
chronic heart disease, diabetes,
Bright's disease and other i'll.
nesSeS often end in q fatal attack
of pneumonia. Alcoholics are az
WAYS very susceptible, and when
they catch the disease the out.
look Is very bad.
The prevention Of pneumonia,
therefore, depends on keeping a
high standard Of personal health.
One of the most important safe
guards against the disease is a
prouer care Of the body, which
should be kept in the best pos
sible condition so as to resist any
infection. Exercise is indispens-
able. but over-exercise is danger
GUS since it brings excessive
fatigue, which lowers resistance.
You should guard yourself
against sudden changes in tenn

Most people eat too much ana
the way to keep up resistance IS
to eat sufficient Of light, nourish'

The air is the best disinfectant
when it is fresh and clean. Sleep
with the windows open and keep

clothing. The temperature at liV'

than "a degrees Fahrenheit. Dry
overheated air Is bad for the

If YOU catch cold, stay at home:

what they might have expected.
Ever since Harold and Lula

So Mr.. and Mrs. Wesson made
a plan for their children's lives.

All about them other young

D A NJ BACKERS
FACE EARLY
FIGHT

Backcrs of the Swing Johnson
Boulder Dam bin were cheered BY
receipt of word today that Senator
Hiram Johnson CR) of California
will reach Washington in time to
lead the fight for enactment OF the
measure in the Senate.
The California Senator is con.
vales:Ing from a flu attack ana
1t had been reported that he would
be unable to be here until after
Christmas.
Since the Boulder Dam measure
is first on the Senate calendar ana
faces the possibility of filibustering
tactics by the opposition, hackers
of the measure are eager that the
bill keep its place in the Senate
order of business.
Dispatches ! from San francisco
said that johnson planned to leave
for Washington next week, ana
similar word was received at his OF
flee.
President Coolidge is expected TO
touch off the Boulder Dam fight
anew in his annual message with
strong reimbursement Of the project,
designed to dam the Colorado river
to provide flood protection, reclama-
ton. and electric power for great
section Of the Southwest.
The report of the special board
OF engineers named to survey the
project is understood to back sub
stantialIy all the claims made in
the past of the feasibility OF the
dam.
