TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

June 5, 1790-JOhn Fitch's pioneer
steamboat travelled from Philadel-
phia to Trenton beginning a series
of ferry trips which continued
through the summer but failed to
induce to finance it's development,
that it would continue to work and
have commercial possibilities.
Fitch had been experimenting with
steamboats, for three years. In 1887
the first steamboat to carry a man,
piled up and down the Delaware
River at three miles an hour. This
Fitch craft was propelled by II large
wooden paddles six in tandem fash
ion along each side of the boat, al
ternately dipping into and drawing
out of water. Thus the action was
similar to that of padding a canoe
The Fitch steamboat of 1880 was,
however, a notable improvement over
this.
Benjamin Franklin, most progress
sive man of his time, couldn't see the
crafts possibilities when Fitch
sought his aid. If he could have he
would have set ahead the beginning
of the age of steam 20 years.
June 5, 1851-First publication of
Uncle Toms Cabin" was begun Sc
rally in The National Era, a weekly.
1t attracted so little attention at the
time that the 38-year-old author Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a
friend: 1T seemed to me that there
was no hope; that nobody would read,
nobody would pitV "
1t became the best-selling and most
inflVntial novel ever written in
America.

Vast Federal control over the
nations farmers through the loan
ing activities of the Farm Credit
Administration was revealed to-
day in reports released for use
in the political campaign.
More than two million loans to
farmers involving $3,380,548,952
are now outstanding, the Farm
Credit Administration reported.
These include 1,086,964 long
term loans on farm mortgages
totalling $2,894, ,2S5, ,759, and over a
million crop and other emergency
loans aggregating nearly 500 mil
lion dollars.
About one-sixth of the nations
6,700,000 farmers owe the Federal
Government for their farms, the
report showed.
While Governor w. I. Meyers re-
ported collections of interest and
installmentS on loans on farm
mortgages were on the increase in
the first half of 1886, the report
shows collections are nearly one
half billion dollars behind.
In addition, a search of the re-
ports showed that the Farm
Credit Administration, insurance
companies and banks had been re-
ducing the total farm mortgage
debt since the Roosevelt Admin
istration was inaugurated largely
through foreclosures on farmers.
Governor Meyers report said:
Despite the increase in new
loans and renewals by private
investors, the total outstanding
volume Of loans held by both
life insurance companies and
Federal Reserve member banks
continued to decline during the
year.

! hurried balanced meals are far
more important than noon hour
shopping flurrieS. Divert some of
the energy you have been spend
ing on unimportant things to your
health-weight program, and you
will soon see results.
Normal Weight Pattern
The weight-gaining rules are al
most identical with the principles
of healthful living and are the
pattern for normal weight and
health:
l. Have regular meal hours, be-
ginning the day with simple but
nourishing breakfast, with a def
mite interval between meals.
2. Do not hurry at mealtimes
(and as little as possible any
other tilneD Chew your food
thoroughly with time for appreci-
alton.
3. Get plenty of whole grain
cereals and whole grain breads
for vitamin B, which promotes
appetite.
4. Eat little more with every
meal and increase the food intake
gradually. Do not overeat.
5. Eating between meals and
skipping meals may upset your
program. Sweets will take the
edge off your appetite for a bal
anced, weight-gaining meal; miss
ing meat sets you back.
6. Evacuate regularly. Two com.
plete excavations daily are essen
tial to health.
7. Get out into the air every day
for exercise. Take a short walk or
indulge in some light exercise
Supplement this outdoor activity
with the exercises in the leaflet
"Stretch the Fat From Your
Waist-line. Ribs and Wishbone."
8. Be sure to get sufficient
sleep. Nine hours of rest every
night and a rest period during the
day will help you to gain.
Healthful living-the answer to
most underweight blems-
sometimes takes bit of planning.
You may have to work to achieve
normal weight!

Strange as it may seem to the
overweightS, a weight gain Is diff.
ficult for the thin, nervous indi.
vidual; and what the healthy
normal weight does as a matter
of course, the asthenic under,
weight must deliberately plan.
The program will include balanced
meals, rest, activity.
Nutrition research reveals that
most asthenic underweightS eat
too little food. You will not in
crease your appetite for food as
long as you continue to eat a
small amount of food, for capac.
ity does not increase unless you
do something to increase it.
BY gradually adding to the
daily food intake, the capacity for
more food is created and the ap-
petite and appreciation are i'm
proved.
LeiSurely Breakfast
Time is an important element
to the weight-gainer. Instead of
staying in bed until the last min
ute, get up for a leisurely break
fast that will sustain you through
the long morning. You should
take at least 20 minutes for
breakfast.
