THREE HIPPOPOTAMUSES, ACTUAL COMPARATIVE SIZES.
THE LITTLE ONE WORTH 5000 A POUND.

lew YORK 8 Bronx Zoo has various hippopotamues In
the picture above you three samples On the left
is big hppopotamus weighing 5000 pounds Next
pygmy hppopotamus weighing only $50 pounds The tiny
thing the right the child Of the pygmy hppopoaus
It doesn't weigh much, and it didn't live long.
But the head Of the Bronx Zoo thinks might be inter
ested the fact that this baby hppopoamus worth in
the open market, 5000 pound.
Pygmy hppopotamuses rare and baby pygmes al
most unknown
This picture shows the great variations in size within the
laboratory.
The gigantic Danish boarhound in the bench show is
same build character blood construction thought
on and everything else the tiny terrier in the show
And the gigantic whale, almost long city block is
said by scientists be the direct descendant of the tree
shrew creature that you could hold in the palm of your
hand.
The fact that this baby hppopoamus worth 5000
pound contrasts Interestingly with the fact that the average
human baby isn't worth two cents pound except to its
father and mother
An average babys commercial value based the various
items ron fat lime etc. that contains would exceed
10 cents
However human baby has advantage the little
hpppotamus may become valuable as older
When he was a baby for instance Thomas A. Edison
wouldn't have been worth fifty cents to anybody but his
parents.
Since then his brain has produced for the benefit of the
entire world values not merely in thousands of millions OF
dollars but values running into tens of billions and
hundreds of billions.
Thanks to his Inventions workmen and factories make bill
lions year And what applies to Edison applies to others
The important thing is to make your own baby which
worth nothing at the start worth than many hppopoa
at the finish And let forget improve

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

DNEUMONIA remains one OF
L the most dreaded of diseases.
Each year il takes its toll of
human lie by the thousa ndS. No
acute disease is more important
than this. and no acute disease
requires more skill in its proper
handling on the part of the at.
tending physician.
II is a more or less popular
belief that pneumonia is always
preceded by catching cold and
that it Is the disease. above all
others, that goes with cold
weather. As a matter of fact,
however. pneumonia is as preva-
lent in hot countries as it Is in
temperate and cold ones, and it
may appear Unexpectedly without
previous cold.
On the other hand. seasonal
changes do have an effect on the
increase of pneumonia cases, es-
pecially very changeable weather.
4 steady, though cold, temperature
shows less cases than the late
winter and early spring months.
Pneumonia is caused by germ.
1t would he more accurate TO say
by several different germs, all
apparently more or less of the
same variety. A few of these
germs have been isolated and
studied and anti-toxins made
from them which are useful in
the trea tmsnt of certain types of
pneumonia.
But everything that scientists
want to know about all the germs
that cause pneumonia has not
yet been revealed.
The onset of pneumonia in a
typical case is abrupt.
There is chill, as a rule, per-
haps preceded by a few days of
running nose or symptoms of
cold in the head" The chill is
rather characteristic of the dis
ease. 1t lasts from 10 to 80
minutes.
Immediately after the chill the
temperature begins to rise. In a
few days it may rise to 1O4 or
1O5 degrees Fahrenheit.
As soon as pneumonia sets in
the patient looks very sick and
feels very sick.
Pain often develops in the chest
which may he very severe and
agonizinS When drawing the
breath
Gradually breathing becomes
shorter and faster. Sometimes
the nostrils are dilated because
the lungs are filling with mucous
and this inflammation is blocking
the air passages of the lungs.
Then, besides. there is the
cough which is of dry charac-
ter. Every time the patient
coughs he experiences pain in the
chest.
Later in the course of the dis
ease the mucous cOughed up may
be very thick and ropey and
tinged with blood.
Examination of the lungs by
the physician tells him that the
lungs are more or less consoli-
dated, depending upon the extent
of the pneumonia process.
The above symptoms persist
with greater or less intensity for
about seven to ten days and then
suddenly a crisis takes place.
After the crisis the tempera.

remarkably improved.
The complica of pneumonia
are serious. These have special
reference to the heart, inflamma-
tions and general weakening
Meningitis, brain disease, may
occur and this is often grave.
People convalesce quickly in
pneumonia and the lungs are not,
as rule, impaired by the strain
to which they have been subjected.
However. occurrences in pneu.
