In August OF 1881 this section
of the trans-Canada highway was
begun. and by January of thai
year 48 camps were occupied BY
5000 men.
Turing the cold winter and
- spring months of 1882, right
of-ways were cut, cleared and
stumped despite the deep SHOWS.
Gravel pits we're opened up,
swamps drained, tote roads built.
Pay ranged, according to the
financial condition of the govern
ment, from 80 cents an hour to
SIS a month with board Most of
the workmen we're single men or
residents of the communities
through which the road was be-
ing driven.
The working force varied at diff
ferent seasons with the relief
needs of the province, but the
work never stopped, being driven
ahead summer and winter under
the most discouraging conditions.
Now the lake region Of Canada
has its first direct automobile link
with the West without the incon-
venience of passing southwark
into the United States and sub
hitting to the customs nuisance
at each crossing of the border.
TINE Manitoba grain fields
Il and the fruitful territory of
the English River are accessible
from the lake region.
AS the highway, now under the
supervision of private contractors,
pushes eastward from this point
toward the 500, it will link with
that which now runs westward
from Ottawa.
When they meet, Canada will
at last have a transcontinental
road. Much of the surfacing is of
native gravel and comparatively
little is hard-surfaced in the
manner of main highways in the
United States.
Completion of this tranSconti-
mental link will open to auto
travel vast areas hitherto un-
known to the auto tourist with
new scenic viStaS, untouched hunt
ing and fishing preserves. and
new opportunities for travel and
transport.

GnaWbone has a. long and hon
orable record of being one of In
diana's smallest communities, and
Mayer Gates told the plug tobacco
trade today that he intends to see
that something is done about
recognition.
Il want to see a United States
postof1ce come here" he said.
MANY towns, especially in In
diana, are known solely for their
names. Take Santa Claus, Ind,
for example.
Nov, it isn't that Gnawbone is
jealous of Santa Claus, because
I'm-I mean, we're not. But there
are a lot of people making money
in that town because its name is
Santa Claus"
MAYOR GATES sold two
1'A pieces of ncorice for l cent
to a prc-plug tobacco customer
and returned to his plans.
Il think the name Gnawbone
would attract lots of attention If
we had a postoffice here and could
cancel stamps with that name.
It's unusual. That would boom
trade and every one would be
happy
Mayor Gates explained that the
name Gnawbone dts in Brown
County is of obscure origin.
1T might be-" he said. that the
story best known is correct. 1t
seems that nearly a hundred
years ago a man encountered an
other man on the road and asked
where a third one was.
The man is supposed to have
said. oh, he's down the road
gnawin bone
He meant the man was eating
his lunch. And, sure enough.
there he was, and here Gnawbone
is"
Mayor Gates paused and looked
over his plug tobacco trade for
response. Two of them spat: one
remained entirely unmoved,

IF there Is any organ of your body that requires
i utmost care and watchfulneSS, 1t Is the heart.
On 1t depends circulation of the blood through your
body. and that means complete circulation without
the least bit Of interruption or dimnution.
The heart is muscular organ through which the
blood passes after it comes from the lungs and from
which it is pumped into the blood vessels. AS the
blood masses from one Of the four heart compart-
ments into another. it goes through valves which
open and shut regularly.
Whenever any of these valves changes its form
because of disease for any other reason it will
not close completely. Sometimes the blood gurgles
back into the chamber from which it came. This
Is called reorganization
The doctor can discover this by listening to the
heart Under such conditions he can hear MUIR
muir.
TN many instances the valve is affec, by n1am
L nations and by depositing of lime salts in the
form Of little noduleS. These also prevent an &C
Curate closing of the valve.
Failure Of the heart to pump the blood sue
Cessfuly leads to Stagnation of the blood in various
parts of the body. sometimes with changes IN the
pulse rate and in blood pressure.
Treatment Of yavular disease of the heart de-
ponds on he severity of the condition The doctor
not only has to endeavor control the damage that
has already taken place, but to prevent further
damage.
He therefore limits the amount Of exercise with
the understanding that nothing should be done that
brings about shortnesS of breath and distress. In
The same way he chooses work which the afflicted
person can undertake without putting too great
strain on his weakened heart.
IT IS particularly important however, TO make GER
i tain that a person with heart disease should
never undergo sudden strain. such running to
catch g train or trying TO IN . heavy weight

IN eating If person is confined to bed the amount
Of food should be small and preferably dry. The
meals should be taken regularly.

1t Is also important for the person with a dis
turoance Of the heart TO avoid any secondary in

OF all the mahatmas who have undertaken to lead

Security For the Aged

WET though he had become the leader and the
i hope of many millions of old people, the doctor
never for moment thought of himself as a power.
For himself he wanted not even recognition All he
wanted for himself was the knowledge that the old
woman who had been reduced to foraging in gar
bage can for food and all the other old people In the
country we're secure from want and relieved of worry
about the material necessities of life until death
should come to them. There in his bearing
neither the querulous martyrdom and mock humility
of Upton Sinclair the strutting vanity and ar
rogance of Huey Long. He knew nothing about
politics. and his innocence in this respect was IN
sharp contrast to the in the White House, whose
sympathies were about like his
Dr. Townsend and his plan reached their peak
about the time that the papers and political reviews
became suddenly aware of this strange ism" which
bubblng and casing all over the country and
examined the plan as a phenomenon. 1t was
naive idea and obviously unavoidable, but the pub
licity stimulated the movement and millions more of
discouraged ellythinkers of all put their names
to Townsend petitions and sent them in. The pub
liCity abated soon as the story had been told Dr.
Townsend is no campalgner. He Is not hghter or
phrase maker and he is not strong enough physically
to engage in the rough snd-tumb that Long and
Coughlin enjoy SO the Townsend movement has
now declined from a cOnVulSion to faint twtch and
presently will altogether.
It is true that he raised false hopes IN many old
people but it never be said that he played them
false for any selfish purpose. He is all heart and
he suffered all over in sympathy with all the poor
But most pathetic of all, he thought we're the peo
Pile who couldn't hope to make the grade even II
prosperity should by some miracle come back over
night because they physically tired and spent
He refused to be courted by Sinclair or Long, not be-
cause he wanted the glory of achieving odage PEN
sons by himself, but only because he thought Sin
clair and Long would make use of his following for
political purposes and then throw them down If he
could feel sure today that by turning his leader
ship to else he could achieve the pension OF
5000 a month winch he bespoke for every one be-
yond the age Of so who has not criminal record,
no selfshness of his would stand in the way of that
contamination.
