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

A nice comfortable rumor to the eff
feet that tea-drinking might be a
sound health habit instead of a guilty
passion-that green tea is rich in
vitamin c., in fact,-was exploded in
bulletin issued by the educational
committee of the Minnesota State
Medical association recently.
1t was just gossip as frOthy as most
tea-table conversations, apparently,
and based on the deduction of some
bright hostess that since her green
tea was made from tender young
leaves of the tea plant it might pos
sibly assume an important place in
the diet. This bulletin from the
Medical association leaves tea just
where it always was, a pleasant ac-
compartment to regular food, quite
wholesome taken in moderate amounts
for adults who are already getting
plenty of vitamins including vitamin
in the usual way and providing,
also, that it was made properly so as
not to develop an excessive amount
of tannin in it's infusion. On this &C
count it should not be boiled.
The bulletin cites, in proof, expert
ments recently completed in the gov
eminent bureau of home economics.
Here they tried three guinea pigs
whose ration was complete except
vitamin c. Three different samples
were tried in several successive ex-
periments and it was cOnclusively
proved that the tea did not contain
enough of vitamin to keep a guinea
pig alive,-drink as much as he
would And that disposed of the
green tea rumor.
Both tea and coffee are wholesome
enough for healthy adults the bulle-
tin declares. But it should be under
stood that they are aids to pleasure
and not to complete diet and treated
as such. They should never take the
place of milk as a beverage for per-
sons who need milk and that, oil
course, refers particularly to chill
dren.
Like many nice things, the bulletin
reminds the reader there are times
when they should never be taken
They may be ruled out of the diet Of
persons who are sick and in need of a
| physicians care.
The bulletin adds in conclusion
that whatever vitamins your tea omits
may be very easily made up in citrus
fruits and green leafy vegetables both
of which are rich in vitamin C, anC
| in A and B too.

WEATHERMAN TELLS
WHAT TO DO WHEN
TORNADO THREATENS

III a tornado is threatening. the best
thing 10 do is to move as rapidly as
possible at right angles to the direc-
tion in which the storm appears to be
moving, says the Weather Bureau OF
the U. s. Department of Agriculture.
In an automobile it is easy to run
away from the storm, as its velocity
of travel usually is only % to 30
miles per hour. Often the approach
OF the storm may he noticed at some
distance Refuge to the north of the
tornado's track is usually safer than
at the same distance to the south.
III quick escape is impossible, get into
a tornado cellar. or into the cellar of
n frame house. The safest spot in the
cellar is usually close to the wall
on the side from which the storm is
approaching. This is most frequently
the southwest corner. III the house
roves or breaks apart, the debris is
likely to fall clear of this corner. III
there is no protection below ground
level pick out some depressed loca
ton and lie flat, face down. holding
to anything handy. Tornados are
most likely to occur in May and June
says the Weather Bureau.

'The Mystery of the Third Gable"
from the pen of Lindsee Barbee, was
the mystery play presented by the
Junior class at a matinee and eve
ming performance April 25th in the
high school gymnasium. The inter-
probation of this work is no slight
task for an organization amateur in
personnel, but most of the members
of the cast managed their parts nice
ly in satisfactory presentation. One
might reflect upon the shortcomings
of the play as it was presented in the
evening. but the performance was
much better than had been antici-
pated. Helen Lehecka represented
Sally Sherwood in a firm, sympthetic
and convincing manner. There were
moments of frenzy, of deep emotion,
and finally calm. She represented
the girl with due appreciation of the
subject matter for which she was CIV
en- responsibility. She was by far the
outstanding character of the play
Special mention should be given to
John Kosteky who played the part
of Roy, the crafty smuggler and occu-
pant of the third gable.

COMING EVENTS CAST
THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE

Several things have happened late
ly, none of them so very important
in itself, but rather interesting when
considered in combination, that in
dictate that there is some move under
way for the development of the
Priest Rapids power site.
| A few weeks ago announcement
was made Of transfer of the light and
power business in what is known as
the Grangeyille- Lewiston territory
from the Pacific Power & Light COM
pany to the Washington Power COM
! pany. Geographically this transfer
would be what is known in sports as
a natural" That territory can be
handled much more conveniently and
economically by the Washington
company with headquarters at Spo-
kane than by the Pacific company
with it's base at Portland.
Shortly after this, encouragement
was made by officials of the Pacific
company that arrangements had
been made for the expenditure Of
81, 100000 for the building of no.
O0O-volt transmission line 80 miles in
length, to connect the Condit hydro
electric plant Of the Northwestern
company on the White Salmon river
with the system Of the Pacific Power
& Light company at Yakima. To
speed up this work photographs TAX
en- from an airp1ane are being used
to make maps of the territory where
the line is to be built so actual con-
struction can start as soon as the
frost is out of the ground. With the
reconstruction of some of the other
links this interconnection will link up
Spokane and Portland and interview
ing territory in such way as to
provide for uninterrupted electrical
service at all times except in the
event of general catastrophe.
The power shortage on the Coast,
so acute last fall and still almost as
bad as then, and with the develop
ment OF power sites on the Colun-
bia river as the only relief in sight,
is also having powerful bearing.
Some Of the engineers, high up in
the Councils Of the power company
in the East, are said to have made
a recent visit to Priest Rapids, pre-
surnably to settle some points not
heretofore fully determined. Engin-
GERS Of this type do not usually Wis
it such places as Priest Rapids dur
ing zero weather just for pleasure.
There are also many rumors, still
too vague and indefinite to come I'M
der the head of news but all point
ing to the belief that there is some
big move on in connection with the
power business in the State of Wash
ington and in particular in the devel-
opnent Of some large project.
| In the meantime no hearing has
yet been had before the Federal
Water awsr Leasing Board on the
jjssecofid afft atom for permit by
the Washington Irrigation & De-
velopment company, although the
Board is being pressed to fix date
for such hearing.
