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

! Neither heart trouble nor tuber'
culosis. develops in a day. Most dis.
eases are the result of the transgres-
sion of health rules for which nature
is finally forced to make reckoning
is the declaration of the educational
committee of the Minnesota State
Medictl association in a bulletin is
sued today. The statement declares
that the man who drops dead on the
street did not suddenly become i'll
the result of a train of events which
have been going on for some time.
The bulletin points out that while
state and federal authorities demand
immediate recognition of laws, nature
allows many transgressions before
calling final halt.
Violation of the rules of health
leads to punishment just as surely as
the violation of other laws" declares
the bulletin. "The only difference is
that Dame Nature is long-suffering,
allows frequent and repeated trans
gressiOns and then suddenly and with
out warning makes the transgressor
pay for his sins of omission or COM
mission.
"The old quotation Where ignor-
ance is bliss tits folly to be wise may
be true in some cases but it doesn't
apply to ignorance regarding ones
health. That may result in bliss tenn
porarily, perhaps. but eventually it
may be paid for by hours of sorrow and
suffering. Unlike man-made laws, the
laws of Nature cannot be revised or
repealed; neither can they be disre-
garded through favoritism or influ-
ence. The wages of such disobedience,
like the wages of sin, are frequently
death.
The man who drops dead on the
street or on the golf links did not just
overtaX his heart; high blood pressure
causing stroke does not develop
overnight; the consumptive didn't sud-
denly acquire tuberculosis. Each of
these conditions and some others may
be the result either of the neglect of
ordinary rules for healthful living or
of a deliberate violation of such rules
because the individual in question
thinks he can get away with it.
I'VE need waste little sympathy
with the latter type, but to persons,
especially those over 40 years of age,
who don't know what condition they
are in and don't care so long as they
get through each day without diff
Guilty or without too many aches or
pains we say:
Don't be an ostrich. Find out what
condition you are in by having a phys
zeal examination by competent phys
icion. Many a defect discovered early
can be corrected, but if allowed to
develop, may result seriously. Pre-
vention is not only better but less
expensive than cure"

Many Unemployed.
A tentative tabulation of natives of
Denmark residing in Detroit, Mich,
shows that there approximately 5000,
and, according to a report from that
city last week, more than half of
this number are unemployed. Dan
ish organizations, at the initiative of
the Danish Brotherhood lodge, have
taken steps to help the unfortunate
members of the city's Danish group
in various ways. For the time be-
ing free meals are being served every
day to as many as can be accomo-
dated, the necessary funds having
been subscribed by some of the pros
porous Danes of Detroit.
New Steamship Line.
Three shipping companies in Nor
way have decided to establish a new
North Pacific-Australia line, and to
complete negotiations. Olaf Ditlev-
SimOnsen, Sverre Wyller and Jacob
Odland have come to this Country.
1t is understood that the capital will
be almost exclusively Norwegian; the
line will have it's headquarters in
Oslo or Haugesund while the boats
will ply between Seattle and Austral-
ian ports. New ships will not be
built for the time being, but the line
will take over some older vessels.
Ninety-three.
Christian Hedlund, oldest member
of the Swedeburg. Neb, Swedish set
Element group, died last week at the
age of SO. He was born in 0stre
Karup parish, Shame, Sweden, and
came to the United States in 1866;
five years later he took homestead in
what now has grown to be the Swede-
burg settlement, and made his home
there ever since. Mr.. Hedlund's
family and few other families COM
ing direct from Sweden founded the
settlement which now comprises a
large number of Scandinavians.
Donates $4,000 Kroner.
A Danish-American who has not
wanted his name revealed, last week
donated the sum of $4,000 Kroner
(roughlX, about S13,50O) to the fund
now being collected for the restora-
ton of the frigate, "Jylland", whose
historic Importance to the Danish
people is very much like that of the
Constitution" to Americans. An
nouncement is made that the gift
is contingent on the subscription of
100000 Kroner by the people of Den
mark. While the restoration of the
"Jylland" has been almost completed,
the rigging is as yet untouched, and
it is this part of the old vessel that
requires a substantial amount.
