Health Can Be Bought

Health is not an accident. Sci
ence has shown US that certain dis
eases are unnecessary. Among
these is tuberculosis. taking a toll
twenty years go of two hundred
lives out of each 100000. since re-
duced to less than So
An organized army is devoted to
extirpating this disease entirely
from society. The attack is CEN
tered on tuberculosis because of it's
insidious character as well as the
extent of it's onslaughts, for those
who die because of it usually waste
away slowly. and the life of the
community is perm -ateG with tie
by-products of the disease in de-
pleted energy of workers, and pow
erty. There is another great reason
why the forces arrayed under the
banner of the double-barred cross,
financed by the annual Christmas
seal sale, concentrate on tubercu-
losis. This is because the measures
that prevent tuberculosis also pre-
vent many other diseases. Annihi-
late it and the danger of other
diseases is reduced proportionately
How may this be done, or rather
how has it been half-done already?
The cure of the disease is by rest.
fresh air, wholesome food and sun
shine. The prevention is by rest,

and exercise.

trials which showed that wheat
was about equal to corn as feed
for hogs. In the winter of 1901
OF, the Agricultural Experiment
Station of the University of Ne
braska conducted a test to determ-
inc the comparative feeding value
of wheat and corn for cattle. The
result of that experiment was that
wheat had feeding value of
about five per cent greater than
corn. Recent experiences of sta
tions and farmers in feeding wheat
to hogs give it value of from
$1.25 to S1.67 per bushel and in all
such experiments it was shown
that wheat has a value equal or
slightly greater than corn. The
bulletin, based upon all expert
showing with cattle and sheep was
not quite SO good, but with poul-
try it was equally favorable. The
ments, suggests that wheat and
corn appear to be practically in
terchangeable in livestock rations
and it depends upon the relative
price as to which one would be the
more profitable to feed Color is
given Bulletin No.2 by a statement
that former President Coolidge
eats wheat regularly for breakfast
His formula is two parts of
wheat and one of rye. 1t is cook
ed whole, without grinding. The
grain is just as it comes from the
field and is put in a double boiler
and cooked until the kernels of
wheat burst open. This sometimes
takes four or five hours"

entire State and the retention Of
the whipping post as a punishment

ing and afternoon sessions were
taken up with hearing reports Of
the various officers and commit
tees of the body. In the evening,
in addition to the regular business
musical and literary program
was given.
