Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Fly.
 gcia, the Health Magazine

Every time the heart beats tts muscle contracts. When the heart contracts the blood is forced out Of the heart into the large blood ves- sels and this beat is felt to the very limits of the blood vessels.
 The pulse rate is a measure Of the rate of the heart beat. People vary as to the speed at which the heart contracts. Sometimes the beat is as slow as 55 or 60 per minute. sometimes as fast as 50 or S5 a minute and still normal.
 It is possible for a disordered heart to beat slower than 55 or 60 a minute. Slow heart beats arc associated strangely enough. with thick skull and also with skull fracture. It is also possible for the heart to beat even more than 200 times per minute. A very rapid heart beat is sometimes as- sociated with serious disturbances, particularly of the thyroid gland.
 Rapid Hcarts
 The hearts of children and young people usually beat faster than those of old people. Rather rapid hearts are frequently seen in young women without having any definite significance in rela- tionship to their state of health. At each exit or entrance into the heart of blood vessel there are valves. These valves prevent the blood from passing back into the veins when it comes into the heart to prevent it from flowing back into the heart when the heart relaxes after pushing it out into the arteries
 When a mass of blood is pushed 1 into narrow vessel, the wall swclls slightly. This is what is called the pulse beat.
 Power for Blood Stream
 When the heart beats it forces blood through the lungs and to the rest of the body. In the lungi i, the blood is given a new supply of oxygen. It is carried by the arteries to the most remote DOT tions of the body. supplying them with the food and particularly oxygen that they need if life is to | be sustained.
 The heart pumps about four | quarts of blood a minute when | the heart is at rest: with mod | crate exercise nine quarts ar. | needed, and during severe exer. else the heart may pump as much as sixteen quarts per minute.

to Swat
 the Fly Again
U. s. Health Service Gives
 Early Warning.

(By L. $. Public Health Seryicc)
 Washington, April II. R)-Spring is a season of relaxation and re- juvenation, but it brings it's peculiar responsibilities. One of them is the house fly.
 The two most important ailments transmitted by flies are typhoid fever and the diarrhoal diseases of children. These and other dis eases may be transmitted in two ways, by mechanical transference and by innoculation. Flies which inject germs into the victim by bit ing, however, are relatively unim- portant,, since the blood sucking varieties are not so numerous in the United States as the house fly type.
 The stiff, hairy parts of the house fly are particularly adapted to the mechanical transfercnce of con- tagion. Contaminated with filth in places where conditions are es- pecially favorable to the develop ment of germs, it carries them to I the food and drink consumed by man.
 It has been suggested that the slogan, Swat the Fly" be amend ed to read. Fight the fly by de- stroying its breeding places and | screening 1t out of the house."

What has his tail got to do with it?" inquired Bobby Coon, who had been listening.
 "He hangs onto the branches with his tail" replied Boomer. Instead of having a broad. thick tail cover ed with little spears. like Prickly Porky's, this fellows has long tail without any little spears on it, or even any hair on it. And he can curl the end of that tail around a branch and hang on in great style. If he wants to get away out where the limbs are small, he can anchor himself with that tail of his, and run no risk of falling"
 That's all very we'll" replied Prickly Porky. but what does he do when he has to fight? What does he do when Buster Bear gets after him? Or Puma the Panther?'
 Buster Bear isn't down there" the Panther lives down there. your cousin has nothing 10 fear from him. or very little. You see. your cousin doesn't fool around on the ground very much. He spends a good deal of his time up in the tree tops, whore Puma the Panther can not possibly follow him. That is where that tail of his comes in handy

The happier child IS, the better bis behavior will be.
 A well-regulated. routine life for a child is essential to his physical and mental welfare.
 Regular habits can be formed only if the child learns from cNpe- rience that he is to do the same thing every day at the same hour.
 It is only after the habit has be- come well established that We can afford to deviate from our charted course.
 Even then it is with moro or less danger that we introduce eNcep- tions, for with each dc\iatiOn from the routine come new interests and emotional satisfactions, which in themselves are the driving forces for every new habit. Thus we form the habit of irregularity.
 Lazincss is symptom, not a dis ease. It may have q physical cause; it may have an intellectual basis; it may be an expression of eIno- tional disturbance.
 How much iron will be contain ed in a serving of vegetables de- bends to a large extent on the method of preparation. It will all be conserved If the vegetables can be served raw, steamed or baked, or cooked in a waterless cooker; little will be lost if the vegetable is boiled in small amount of water, and the juice used in soups or gravies. Onc-half to three-fourths of the iron content of vegetables may be lost if the vegetables are cooked in much water and the Wa ter discarded.
