FLU VICTIMS
Weak HEARTS
Many Nervous Breakdowns'
Due to Impatience of Flu
Patients to Get Up.

Many nervous breakdowns" are not
nervous breakdowns at all. They are
in reality the results in terms Of
weakened hearts. of an apparently
trifling attack of flu.
A bulletin from the Minnesota State
Medical Association dwells particularly
on this aspect of the flu problem be-
cause little ordinary discretion at the
time of the attack would entirely pre-
vent these troublesome nerve and heart
symptoms.
IAN interesting study was made re-
Gently Of large number of persons
who were seeking sea air and sunshine
for something they called generally,
nervous breakdown says a bulletin.
'The study was made by a physician
practising at an important Atlantic
coast resort. He found that an amaz-
ing number of these sea air seekers
were, in reality, suffering from the
characteristic weakness of the heart
and circulatory system that often fol-
lows upon even light attack of the
flu. He made the following very sig
nif1cant deduction at the end of his
series of cases, including the young and
old and both sexes. These people got
out of bed and started back at their
ordinary pursuits before their hearts
had recovered fom the toxic effects OF
the disease. If they had stayed in bed
a few days after the fever was over
they might have been spared months
and even years of weakness and dis
comfort to themselves and then
friends"
Flu may last only day or two OF
it may be a severe illness of two OF
three weeks" say the doctors. "But il
either case no one should jump up anc
start on his usual round the minute
the fever leaves him."
There seems to be no definite re.
lation between the duration of the at
tack and the amount of trouble it may
cause afterward," the bulletin says.
I'VE know very little about the virus
of grip or flu. But it is apparently by
the results that it is very different
thing from the virus of the so-callec
common cold even if the common cole
could have a little respectful care
seems prolonged and severe. If fl
during the convalescent period, grea
deal of trouble would be spared tt

From manufacture of flour, 1923
gain in earnings for the state testing
mill, in Minneapolis, was made from
october to January l, in comparison
to the same period in 1890, H G.
Matthews, mill manager since Oct. l.,
has reported to this department.
This increase resulted without les
SEEMING the quality of flour produced or
the use of higher, more expensive
grade Of wheat.
For the last three months in 1881,
1856 more barrels of flour Cat 81 per
barreD were milled than in the same
period in 1880. Deducted from this was
feed loss of nine tons, 300 pounds
cat $14 per toni and the cost of LAS
additional bushels of wheat Cat u cents
per bushel) The resultant saving was
1928.
Figures show that in the last three
months of 1880 barrel of flour u96
poundS) was made from 4 bushels 80
pounds of wheat, while in 1891 barrel
of flour was made from 4 bushels 20
pounds of wheat, a saving of II pounds
of wheat per barrel.
The mill, from October to January
| l, was run nine hours per day, with
no time off for loading. During that
period a refund of $1,288.55 for power
overcharges was obtained by Mr.. Mat
thews, as well as lower power rate
which will cut operating expenses $50
month in the future.
Many of you, no doubt, wonder at
the purpose of the testing mill, its
financial status and the like. We will
attempt to explain the mill.
The testing mill was authorized by
the state legislatures of 1919 and 1921
An appropriation Of $4,000 was made
for building, land, machinery and Other
equipment A revolving fund of $40,-
600 was also established and later this
departments contingent fund addeC
almost $4,000.
The mill began operations in Sept.
1921. For the first years of its exis.
tence it did not make expenses. Since
1925, however, it has been entirely
Self-supporting.
The state board of control purchase:
all the flour manufactured by the mill
This is used in 10 state institutions
The price charged for the flour is the
same as would have to be paid if flon
were purchased from other milling
companies.
The mill employs a manager, Mr.
Matthews; a superintendent, ALFRED
Hanson; miller; a packer; an oiler
night Waterman and one chemist
1t runs nine hours per day and manu-
features on an average of so barrel
of flour each day.
1t is the purpose of the mill to de
termine milling values of differen
varieties and grades of wheat, to de-
termine baking value of sundry flour
and to do experimental work which vii
increase our knowledge of wheat. In
) formation of these activities is disperse,
in forms of bulletins
A laboratory, where experiments
baking is done, is conducted as part o
the mill.

FARM AND MARKET
OF Spuds We Sing.


It would seem a far cry from the
song writing industry to the state
agriculture department-but the two
did get together recently and found,
through passing remark, something
in common. That something was po-
tatoes. As a result Minnesotans are
now able to sing as fervently about its
potatoes as Iowa does about its corn
While in Chicago recently, David
Smilow, solicitor for this department
suggested to a cafe waiter that his
restaurant, by using Minnesota po-
tatoes, might add to its patronage
He was overheard by a gentleman al
an adjoining table, who asked Mr.
Smilow if he were Minnesotan.
It developed that the stranger was
also a Gopher state son now writing
songs in Chicago.
On learning this, Mr.. Smilow joking
ly asked: "Why don't you write a song
about Minnesota spuds?"
That's an idea," remarked the song
writer, who is Vernon Steele, composer
of Pretty Kitty Kelly and other hits
And he utilized the suggestion. Thu
song was introduced this week by
Chick Scroggins and his orchestra a
the Northwest Automobile show IL
Minneapolis.
The more we think of it the more
convinced we become that Minnesots
tubers are something to sing about
Certainly they furnish as fitting
theme as a number of other subject
which have been told to music.
Instructing Inspectors.
Last week was a busy one for thi
department, what with the inspectors
school for detection of diseases il
poultry and grading of eggs, the Farm
School short course and the Farm
Bureau conclave.
It was heartening to see, as thes
meeting revealed, that the farmers o
this state are ION their toes" so t
speak, and are busy considering way
and means out of their present un
happy economic state.
Market Bits.
G. A. Marzolf, our market reporte
who keeps us reliably informed o.
livestock activities, states that for tn
last week at South st. Paul: Unseason
ally mild temperatures in the cas-
worked against the livestock trade i
all branches. Such warm weather wa
detrimental to movement of dresse
meats and was quickly reflected in tn
market for live products. Shee
division statesmen were experiencin
difficulty in maintaining fat lam
prices at or above $500 per hundred
Lamb feeders contend they can brea
about even at the S. price. Because c
heavy marketing and dressed trad
sluggishness, fat lamb prices frequentl
dipped as low as $3.50.
South st. Paul was the leading stoc
pig market In the country in 1881, ship
ments from there to hog feeders i
Is states totaling 181 1874 stock pigs, fo
that year.
Located in the heart of one of th
most important dairy regions, South S
Paul also set the 1881 record for calve
