committee members of the Minnesota State
Medical Association agree in the matter of
deaths and prostratons from summer heat.
Very few deaths are due to heat, these doctors
agree.
Many prostrations due to hysterical fear of
what the heat is going to do and might be avoided if
people could make up their minds to be calm and take
things easy
"Heat prostrations and deaths reported in the
newspapers during heat weaves should not be
taken too seriously" says this bulletin. In the
jory of other disorders, such heart disease
at the bottom of the trouble Persons with const
tutonal diseases Of any sort particularly elderly
sons, should stay out of the and avoid all unnec
cessary exertion in hot weather. Everybody else
should keep mentally cool, at least, and remember
that heat is uncomfortable but seldom fatal

SHAFT INJURIES
STIR IS SONS

BALTIMORE, July 6.-Mary-
land patriots are much worked
up this week over reports from
New York that the granite shaft
in Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
erected by the Maryland Society,
Sons of the American Revolution.
to commemorate the participation
by Maryland troops in the Battle
of Long Island in l776, has been
desecrated by vandals.
The shaft. erected in 1895, Is
now bordering on decay, and this
is considered natural, but the
fact that letters have been
Clipped off and the base dis
figured, the iron fence around
the monument broken and weeds
allowed to grow within the en-
closure, as noted by visitors July
4, has aroused some feeling over
Maryland.
The Sons Of the American
Revolution will take the matter
up this week to decide what steps
will be taken.

Politician, 6, Gives
Up DOg-Selling
For Magazines

You can't keep a good little
man down. Billy Boise, Rock
ville's 6-year-old prodigy, bears
this out.
Having taken a flier into the
realm Of politics, thereby be-
coming slightly enriched, Billy
looks around for new fields to
conquer during the off-season.
For a while he was trying to
sell a dog he had found. He
offered the dog for 81 and
later dropped the price to $1.50
Finding no takers and having
too much pride to lower his
figure. Billy abandoned the
plan and began selling maga-
zines.
Asked if he we're not too
young to sell magazines, Billy
replied:
"No, I'm not. / can spell my
name and can count up to a
hundred and 1 know darn well

CITIZENS PROTEST
| 3|)-M|LE TRAFFIC
Forest Hills Group Ask Elm
| ination of Zone on Con-
neCticut Avenue.

The elimination of the 30-mile speed
limit between Van Ness and Ellicott
streets on Connecticut avenue altogether,
or its extension to all parts OF Connectl-
cut avenue, was asked by the Forest
Hills Citizens Association at meeting
held last night in the Ben w. Murch
School, Thirty-sixth and Davenport
streets.
The Murch School is located just west
of Connecticut avenue, within this 80
mile zone. The citizens charged that
a hazard is created for school children
who are compelled to cross the thorough
fare at this juncture because OF the
higher speed limit The association
criticized the unfair discrimination
which it declared was exercised by
Traffic Director w H. Harland in select
ing portion of Connecticut avenue
seYen-tenths of mile long in which to
boost the speed limit from % to 80 miles
an hour.
Criticism was also voiced by members
of the group of the unlighted loading
zones at street car stops on Connecticut
avenue The marked-oH areas were lar
from being safety" zones because OF
their unlighted and practically invisible
state at night, members of the assocla-
ton declared. No action, however, was
taken by the group.
The citizens group went on record as
In objection to the selection of site on
Garrison street near Wisconsin avenue
for new elementary school which is to
be built to relieve the E. V. Brown
school This site, the association held,
would be within three blocks OF the
Tennally Janney School at Davenport
street and Wisconsin avenue and would
be so located as not to be OF any ma
terial value in taking care of the enroll
inent of the Brown School. It recon-
mended that Western avenue would be
more adequate site.

Montana Woman Lost
II Pounds Weight in A Weeks

Here's letter written October 81,
1929 by Mrs. Fred Barringer of
Lewistown, Montana, that ought to be
read by every overweight woman in
America.
When stout women can lose fat and
at the same time gain in energy and
vigor.
Gain in charm and vivaciousness.
Gain healthy complexion and
have eyes that sparkle with buoyant
health.
And at the insignificant cost-isn't
it time to use common sense?
Please read this letter carefully:
Gentlemen: I started taking Kru-
schen every morning as directed, as I
was very much overweight and wanted
to reduce.

st had tried going on a diet, but
would get so hungry that my diet
would not last long, so decided to
give 'Kruschen Salts fair trial The
day I started to take them weighed
256 lbs, and at present, which has
been just four weeks, weigh 239 lbs.
And I must say, feel better in every
way, besides looking much better.
May all large people, both men and
women, who want to reduce in an easy
way, give Kruschen Salts a fair trial
Just, try one bottle and by following di-
rections I am sure 1t will convince any
one. I bought my second bottle today"
A bottle of Kruschen Salts that lasts
four weeks costs but Csc at Peoples
Drug Stores or any drug store in
America.
Why not try one bottle-if not joyfully
satisfied, money back. When taking
Kruschen you can reduce more swiftly by
cutting out pastry and fatty meat-go light
on potatoes, butter, cream and sugar-its
