HINTS ON HEALTH
prepared and Furnished by the
Public Health Education
Committee of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

St. Paul, Minnesota Athletics
will not harm a person with healthy
heart, but will often harm a person
whose heart is damaged by disease
This is the statement of the health
committee of the Minnesota State
Medical association with reference to
numerous queries from mothers ask
ing whether indulgence in athletics
is cause of heart disease.
ut is in people with unrecognized
heart disease that strenuous athletic
such as football, rowing, swimming,
and track will do HARM" declares
the bulletin. "One can readily see,
therefore, the necessity for a careful
medical examination of the heart of
the individual who intends to indulge
in athletics. Excessive physical ex-
ertion, particularly if undertaken
without a proper course in training,
may be the cause of grave damage
to the heart.
rheumatism is in children and
young adults the origin of more dis
eased hearts than all other causes
combined. Although we do not know
definitely the cause of rheumatism,
there is enough evidence to make us
quite certain that we are dealing with
a germ disease. These germs, or the
poisons which they manufacture, at
tack many different structures in the
body, the joints, the muscles, the
blood vessels, the nervous system, the
heart. To the average person the
term acute rheumatism means an ILL
ness characterized by fever and joints
which are red, swollen, tender and
painful when moved Chorea or ST..
Vitus Dance, and the so-called grow
ing pains, are probably due to the
same germ as rheumatism and should
receive the same serious considera-
ton; for all of these, heart disease
is often sequel. There are also many
facts indicating that the rheumatic
germs gain entrance to the body
through diseased tonsils and teeth,
so that sore throat, tonsilitis, pyor-
rhea and decayed teeth are often found
as precursors of attacks of rheuma-
tism.
practically any one of the infec-
tious diseases may attack the heart

infections have two stages-first, the

livers, without exception, knew that
MarjOry was absolutely the prettiest
thing in the Middle West Many other
residents of Red Thrush. Iowa, real
lied it also. But just pref tiness was
not enough to win tits beauty prize.
One required an admission ticket. The
Elks' club was staging the event for
the benefit of it's various charities,
and the admission was TWO dollars
and a half-including favors for the
ladies, an elaborate buffet supper at
ten O'clock, and participation in the
beauty pageant. In spite of their con-
fidence in MarjOry's outstanding
beauty, two dollars and half for
admission to May day fete did not
fall within the scope of parsonage
budget.
But The good fairy who watches
over youthful beauty did not fail
them.
On the twenty-fifth day of April,
Eddy Jackson walked up the narrow
flagstone path to the parsonage. Mar
jOry was lying In the hammock, fast
asleep. her magazine fallen to the
floor at her side. Eddy Jackson, com
ing thus upon beauty unaware, was
stricken momentarily dumb in its
presence, and stared at her in such
rapt awe that MarjOry awakened in
some confusion.
Gee, Margie, but you're easy to

Heavens, Eddy, what would the
members say if father sailed down to
the Elks club to enter his daughter
in the beauty pageant?"
Eddy squared his shoulders. "All
right, I'll do 1t myself You and I'll
go. I'll get the tickets right now"

marched straight down the fagstone

THE DAYS MENU A LA MODERN
Breakfast.

Breakfast has been a meal of var
ious foods down through the ages.
The ancients ate a very simple meal
of fruits and wine, while in later
times, the Britons served heavy meats
and buildings, and the French de-
lighted in variety of breads. Taste
and cline and activity have been the
guides for breakfast menus.
The breakfast la modern has ad-
ded another guide to the choosing of
the menu-body needs. And the mod
ern breakfast could well be set before
an ancient lord or Briton king!
With basic breakfast foods-milk,
butter, whole wheat breakfast cereal
or bread-these very modern recipes
are suggested for the family break
fast
Whole Wheat and Corn Bread.
1 cup whole wheat flour.
l teaspoon salt.
cups sour milk.
1 cup cornmeal.
l teaspoon soda.
teaspoons baking powder.
4 tablespoons melted butter
egg.
Mix the dry ingredients, add the
milk, mix we'll, add the beaten egg
and the melted fat Beat thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into shallow
creased tin, bake forty-fve minutes
in a moderately hot oven (350 to 400
degrees). Cut in squares and serve
hot.
Nut and Fruit Bread.
cups whole wheat flour
1-3 cup sugar.
2-3 cup seedless raisins
1 egg.
cups milk.
teaspoons baking powder
IL cup ground English walnuts.
2 teaspoons salt.
Mix the dry ingredients, add the
nuts and raisins, add the milk and
egg and beat thoroughly. Turn into

moderate oven (350 to 400 degrees).

Use twice as much boiling sailed
water as of whole wheat flour. Add
flour to the water slowly, stirring
constantly to prevent Jumping. Serve
with thin cream, sugar or with but
ter and brown sugar. One cup of
raisins, figs and dates or one-half
cup of chopped nuts added just before
serving improves the cereal.

fundamental reasons for the

Editor Alaska Fisherman,
 ketchikan, Alaska
 Dear MT. Paul:--
 Your June issue of the Alaska Fisherman which, in this out of the way place, reached me only a short time ago, was read by me with a great deal of inter est, my attention being especial ly drawn to your comments on the various members of the 1929 Legislature.
 Some of your points are, un- doubtedly, well taken, but in many of them you are greatly in error. do not wish to enter into a lengthy discussion in de- eense of the other members but would like to set you straight on one or two points in regard to myself.
 l realize, of course, that you were not present at the recent session of the Legislature and therefore have not firsthand in- formation as to what really transpired there, and naturally, when one has to look to others for an account of the actions and attitude of the Legislators it is very easy to get things a little aWry. May not state my stand on the most controversial questions?
 I did not, at any time, nor did any other member of the House advocate an appropriation of S262 100000 for the Alaska Col- lege. The ways and means com mittee, of which I was a mem Ter, recommended an appropria- tion of a little more than $135,- OOO.O0 and the House Journal will show that I concurred in this report. Therefore I feel it a trif1e unjust to state that I stood for the larger appropria-
