Decatur Daily Democrat, Volume 14, Number 1, Decatur, Adams County, 1 January 1916 — Page 5

I With customers many thousands strong Occasionally little things go wrong; A button off; a sole not right, A shoe fitted a little too tight; Sometimes our fault; sometimes theirs— Forbearance would decrease all cares. Kind/friends, how pleasant it would be', If 1 knew you and you knew me. I Then let no doubting thoughts abide Os firm good faith on either side; Confidence to each other give, Living ourselves, kt others live. But any time you come this way, That you will call I hope and pray. Then, face to face, we each shall see And I II know you and you’ll know me! CHARLIE VOGLEWEDE

KNOW VALUE OF FRESH AIR People Realize It* Importance, and Also the Necessity for Cultivation of Proper Breathing. The open air theory for the benefit of tuberculosis is £ comparatively recent thought. The story is that Doc tor Trudeau recognized that be had this dread and commofr disease, and grasped at the open air life as his last and only hope. When he sought the mountains near Saranac, determined to live in the open air, his course was viewed as suicidal. Fellow physicians thought that excessive fear of death had robbed him of his medical judg ment. All his friends looked for an early end. Doctor Trudeau not only regained his health, but he gained a better measure of health than he had ever enjoyed before. Then he began to , send back to the cities for workingmen and working women, and cottages were built out of tho trees of the hills, and an open air colony started. This was the first in this country, and the; date was 1884. Ten years later he established the first American laboratory for the study of consumption. In a remarkable propaganda against the white plague undertaken in Detroit it is written; “So great a change has come over the country in 39 years that fresh air is on the verge of becoming popular. One of the most noted of modern medical men, opening his comprehensive treatise on the preservation of human efficiency and health, begins with fresh air. “Now, the common lypni of tuberculosis is the pulmonary form—the form which attacks the lungs. Lungs presuppose breathing, and breathing presupposes air. Tuberculosis belongs to the class of impure air diseases. Its commonest method of infection is through the breathing, its commonest point of attack the organ used in breathing. We don’t breathe with the nose; we breathe through it. We Wreathe with the lungs. The quality of our breathing—that is, the depth and strength and fullness of it —is quite as important a factor in the history of health or of tuberculosis as the quality of the air which we breathe.” FAKER KNEW HUMAN NATURE Story That Shows the Old Law of Psychology Is Still in Full Operation. Legend tells of a Hindu faker who seemed to have a working knowledge of piactical psychology and made himself rich selling plain wicker baskets in the streets of Calcutta. The peculiar virtue of the baskets, he explained to the buyers, lay in the fact that, if one filled his basket with ordinary pebbles, placed himself in a receptive attitude of mind, and stirred them with a stick for an hour, each and every pebble would be transmuted into a nugget of gold—provided the stirrer did not think of a hippopotamus while stirring. The baskets were sold, but the idea of a hippopotamus was so firmly fixed in the minds of all the purchasers that not one of them ever had legitimate grounds on which to demand his money back. Knew He’d Seen Her Before. Three women met in a New York elevated station. “Well, 1 declare,’ they all chorused. The last arrival was asked if she, too, was bound for the shopping district, the destination of the other women. “No, indeed,’ she quickly replied. “I’m going to my husband’s office. He just telephoned me he had left an important letter at home, and asked me to bring it to him. He’s the most absent minded man I ever met." “He isn't any worse than my husband,” chimed in one of the other women. “Doctor is so forgetful at times’ that he frequently goes off without his medicine folio.” “Well," spoke up the third woman, "my husband beats that. John, as you know, is a traveling man. He has been away ■ a month this time. He came home the , other day and patted me on the cheek and said, '1 believe I have seen you before, little girl, at some place, at sometime. What is your name?”’ Candle Extinguisher. It has been found that candles can be fitted with attachments to extinguish the light at a set time. To determine the length of time it is necessary to mark a candle of thb size used and time how long a certain length of it will burn. Then it is sufficient to suspend a small metal dome or cap, to which a string is attached, directly over the flame, and run the opposite end of the string over nails or through screw eyes, so that it can be tied around the candle such a distance from the flame > end that the part between the flame ! - and the string will be consumed \ in! , the time desired for the light to burn, I I When this point is reached the string slips off the candle and the cap drops J on the flame. Riddle of Nature. 1 Because I have stirred a few grains • of sand on the shore, am I in a posi--1 tion to know the depths of the ocean? Life has unfathomable secrets. Hu- • man knowledge will he erased from , the archives of the world before we , possess the last word that the gnat • has to say to us. Scientifically, na- . ture is a riddle without a definite so- ’ lution to satisfy man's curiosity. Hypothesis follows hypothesis; the ’ theoretical rubbish heap accumulates 3 truth ever eludes us. To know 1 how not to know might well be the 3 j last word of wisdom.—Henri Fabre,
