SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-RY nr. Louis 3. Risch-


1t was just 800 years ago
that william Harvey made known
his conclusions on the circula-
ton of the blood. Nowadays
it seems strange that such a
fact had to be discovered at all.
Yet Harvey. even basing his
claims upon the observations of
others who preceded him. put
forth his theories with much
politeness and caution. There
were many at that time who as
ne himself wrote. ''chid and
illuminated me and laid it to
me as crime that l had dared
to depart from the precepts and
opinions of ali anatomists."
In 1928 we most surely know
a tremendous amount more about
the blood.
You, my reader, probably
studied about the blood in gram
mar school. wonder how many
facts you have remembered?
As the blood circulates through
the arteries from the heart and
finally is distributed to all the
tissues of the body by means of
tiny capillaries, 1t carries oxygen
as well as food after ii has
been properly prepared by the
digestive organs. In other words.
it supplies all the organs with
nutrition, so vital to their very
existence.
Then on the return trip, as
it were, back to the heart, via
the veins. the blood carries away
various waste products absorbed
from the tissues, some being car.
ried to the lungs and some to
the kidneys so as TO be elm
mated from the body.
Arterial blood is bright red:
when it flows in the veins it
Is dark red and sometimes purple.
The blood weight constitutes
about ne-thirteenth OF the en-
tire body weight.
The reaction of the blood is
alkaline.
! Its temperature is approx
mately 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Blood is composed OF three
parts: The plasma. colorless
LIQUID, in which floats certain
bodies known as corpuscles and
of which there are two varieties.
the red and the white.
Red corpuscles are circular discs
and they are concaVe on both sides.
They are microscopic, measuring
in diameter 1-35OO of an inch. The
red color is due to the so-called
hemoglobin. l1emoglobin combines
chemically with oxygen and this is
how the oxygen is carried.
White corpuscles are spheroidal
in shape and about 1.25O0 of an
inch in diameter. They possess
peculiar ability to push out one
part, like foot, and so move. In
this way they can pass through
blood vessel walls.
The white blood corpuscles, also
known as leucocytes, play a most
important role in the coagulat1on
of blood and in protecting the body
from the invasion OF bacteria.
When such bacteria gain entrance

1873 COMBINES
Revolution in Harvesting and
Threshing Operations
Gathers Headway

Because it saves the farm woman
energy and because it saves the
farmer money, are the reasons id.
vanced for the increased popularity
OF the harvester-thresher combine in
the Bismarck district by ]. C. Tay.
lor, manager of the local branch Of
the International Harvester COM
pany.
One hundred and thirty-three COM
bines have been delivered by the
Bismarck branch this year and local
dealers have received orders for $50
more. Thirty combines were actual
~ delivered by the company last
year.
Because only two men live on the
combine-threshed farm, the woman
OF the farm is saved 4 great deal
Of work. Under the old system Of
harvesting and threshing separately
farm women were forced to cook and
care for large crews Of laborers.
The combine saves money in bin
der Irvine, shocking and threshine
labor, and general efficiency. Local
combine dealers estimate that the
combine deletes the expense Of about
80 cents an acre in binder Irvine
and So an acre in harvesting labor.
Two men can operate the combine.
The combine avoids the average
waste Of from one to three bushels
OF grain per acre. Because the farm
er can finish his work quickly with
the combine he has more time for
summer fallow work.

LIQUOR SCARCE
AT 1928 FAIRS

The liquor situation at the fairs
in North Dakota this year has been
much more satisfactory than in any
previous year, John Hagen. Fargo,
state. prohibition agent, said in Bis
marck today.
State prohibition officers have
been surprised that no liquor law
violations have been reported at the
various fairs. Because the fairs
have been closely watched by state
and federal agents is the reason for
the respect for the laws, Hagen
says.
Fairs at Bismarck, Minot, Devils
Lake, Bottineau and Grand Forks
have been attended by state officers.
Hagen, who had expected to attend
the state sheriffs' convention at Mi
not July IL and Is to discuss liquor
law violations, was called to his
home in Indiana at that time. His
father was injured in an automobile
accident.
Hagen arrived in Bismarck yes
terday and left for Fargo this morn
ing. where he and his crew will be
stationed during the state fair.
