ease ; also jt. is a dirty air disease," says a bulletin of the Chicago health department, which con
tinues: a A '. : '
r.9 i "This assertion is supported by both the
morbidity and mortality figures which show un
varyingly year, after,-year the seasonal rise and decline m.the city's pneumonia death rate. These
figures "also serve to show that during the sum
mer months, the open air season, pneumonia in
both "cases and deaths reaches its lowest ebb and that sb soon 'as he shut-in season comes, these
figures begin mounting steadily month by month
until the open air season" "comes again:
"In connection with the number of deaths in Chicago due to this dirty air disease, it is of
interest to ,rite that last year there were re
ported "to the'departmeht ;8,336. cases, with 2,164 deaths;- So far this year, up to November 1 there ".have been 8,145 cases, with 2,085 deaths. The
figures for uL922 indicate that at the present rate of increase since, September the total cases and
"deaths for this year will exceed last year's fig ures.
"As is known, pneumonia is a deadly disease. ,It kills 'its victims in short order. And because this is true and because enough. is now known
about it to enable people to avoid it, it should
'command the thoughtful attention of everyone.
:Pneumonia is caused by a germ , which is con
veyed from one to another. The patient or well
persons with th germs, in the mouth, throat or nose, by, careless coughing,1 sneezing -and spit
ting, can scatter the germs in the air for others to breathe; or on things where they can mingle
with the dust which may be stirred up, float in the air and be taken into the respiratory passages, and in that way reach the lungs.
"It is known that extremes .of temperature, either cold or hot, together with dampness, have a lowering effect upon the resistance of the individual to. pneumonia infection. In overheated
and poorly ventilated living places and work
places are found the conditions which seem to
be favorable for the spread of the disease. Overheated air "is always lacking in moisture and breathing it dries the mucous membranes of the air passages, , thus causing the condition which
invites not only pneumonia, but other respiratory
ailments. '
"Here are some seasonable suggestions which,
if followed, will help you to escape pneumonia:
"1. Be regular in your habits of living as to
diet and proper rest.
"2. Avoid undue and prolonged exposure to
wet and cold.
"3. Get as much exercise in the open air as
you can.
"4. Dress so that you will feel comfortable
in the house and equally as comfortable when out
of doors in a lower temperature.- -
"5. Keep your living rooms at a temperature
not exceeding 70 degrees. For people in normal
health, and properly clad, 68 degrees is better. "6. Keep your feet dry and warm.
"7. Do not cough or sneeze in anyone'sx face
or allow others to cough or sneeze in your imme diate presence.
"8. Finally, rememDer tnat pneumonia is
highly contagious and that there are persons who are carriers and that when they sneeze or cough openly in the air close to you, you are in danger
of becoming infected.
"By observing these suggestions you can greatly lessen your chances of 'catching' pneu
monia and be more likely to get through the winter without needing the services of the under-
When a Feller Needs a Friend
LEARN PRINCIPLES IF YOU WOULD SUCCEED - , . By George Matthew Adams
Before we can possibly understand life, we must first get Into ourselves and become daily discoverers of our own hidden resources. And before we can intelligently walk up to God and tell Him that we want to become a living part of His plan, we must first walk up to ourselves and pledge honest allegiance. . It is much more profitable to look first after one s soul than one s fort une. u proflt a man lf he gain whoie worid and lose this soul of his in the thought Of the Bjble. And how character stands high, and dry and grand against an estate of mere lands andmoneyed possessions. Before you can possibly succeed, you must first learn the simple principles on which success depends work, honesty, enthusiasm, loyalty, love, unselfishness. If you have no belief in life, how can Immortality have any appeal f0f Arid if you have no confidence In yourself, how can you hope for the confidence of ethers? ' .. T V First become expert in the handling of little things efficiently and then the big things will loom before you and you will enter into them with confident enthusatsm and full of faith in their ultimate accomplishment. , .. First have love in your own heart for others and the love of others for you will naturally follow. . . , Harbor clean thoughts and the entire world will look clean to you. If you want to measure the life of a building, first look over Its foundation. ' ..... . Give first consideration to your health lf you would live long and well, and do much.

No. 847 The Balancing Match The perforn.er takes an ordinary match from a bos anU ta.n4 it tipilgbt upon the wooden surface of the table. The match stands there, balanced (see F(ure 1). The spectators all try the tiick with othsr matches, but with no uocess. The performer, however, can make any match balance whenever he wishes. The trick Is done by secretly moistening the tip of the right forefinger and pressing it against the end of the match before attempting the balancing feat (see Figure 2). The end of the match should be quite dump. When It is pressed against the wooden table it will stand there for half a minute or so. The trick may be repeated with other matches, but it is best not to do U too often. Copyright, Hit,' fcy Futile Ltdamr Cowxpami

bdwards Olive Tablets.
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 20. The importance of information concerning investments to the people who are putting up the money Is resulting in the gradual compilation of a series of reports on the soil and other conditions ot American farms. One of Benjamin Franklin's wise sayings was:
"If you would know the value of mon
ey, go out and try to borrow some. Dr. Franklin's insight into this great economic fact was clear, as will be learned by any investigator who inquires concerning the patience with which money lenderB, whether individual, corporate or governmental, study the character of security offered. This care to protect investments is responsible for the studies now being made which will place in the hands of the Federal Farm Loan Board at Washington the most detailed information concerning the farm lands of this country which probably ever has
been made concerning any region in the world. Under the farm loan act farmers may borrow money from Federal Land Banks and from Joint Stock Land Banks on the security of their farms.
The law takes particular care to safeguard these loans. An elaborate organization is maintained by the dozen Federal Land Banks and the score of Joint Stock Land Banks scattered over the country to determine the precise character of the land . offered as security for desired loans. The foundation of the Federal Farm Loan System rests on some four thousand National Farm Loan Associations. Under the law, these voluntary associations of farmers may obtain loans for their members all of whom must be farmers, through this governmental system. When an application for a loan is passed on by the Farm Loan Associa tion, it goes to the nearest Federal Land Bank and that institution sends out an appraiser who is -selected from persons residing in the neighborhood from which the application for the loan comes. Ha must be a man familiar with land values. The farm offered as security is carefully examined to determine its value and the information filed with the Federal Land Bank and . finally forwarded to the Farm Loan Board at Washington. The country Is so vast that the examination is gradual but it' proceeds steadily. Applications for loans constantly are coming in and practically every county in the United States now has at least one of these loans. Thi3 means that the Farm Loan organization has a report on at least one farm in every county in the country. In

Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known' physician In Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that natural buoyancy which all should enjoy by toning up the liver and clearing the system of Impurities. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are known by their olive color. 15c and 30c.

many counties reports are on file concerning almost every farm. . The reports show what kinds of soils are found en the farm involved. They show whether me land is adaptable to grain, pasture, fruit growing, truck-gardening or other agricultural use. - Frequently the expert appraiser will be able to learn more about the land in the course of his inspection than the inexpert fanner who has lived there all his life. A farmer may think his land is excellent for a number of purposes and the appraiser will discover it has been overworked without fertilization and that its productiveness is about at an end. In such a case, the loan approved will be low. On the other hand, the expert may find a farm of which the fanner has a relatively low opinion and on the security of which be asks little. It may develop ihat the farmer has been planting the wrong kind of crops to suit the land and that if some other produce were put in, the same soil would bring greater yields. ' All these elements enter into the examination and bring into the files of the Federal Farm Loan System a wealth of infor
mation which ultimately will cover
most of the country, if not every
farm. When that Is accomplished, . It will be possible, by consulting these records, to discover Just what a farm in
almost any county in the country 's good for, what it will raise, whether it is watered or arid, what the transportation facilities are, the climate, the condition of the roads and various other pertinent data. While this information is being gathered for thi purpose of lending, it will have the tendency to become accepted as a basis of sale value and therefore, consultation of these Tecords can establish the price of almost any farm in the country. May Hasten Detailed Survey. The value of such information is so well recognized at Washington that it is considered quite likely that some steps may be taken to hasten this detailed survey.. Under the present system, the reports are made only In connection with loan applications and while these are coming in rapidly, independent additional investigations made directly 6y Government agents would bring much closer the date when the whole body of farm lands will be reported upon. . ' - These reports will have to be kept up to date by --. additional notations

from time to time because changes are constantly taking place in the nature" of soils and in other matters closely affecting the value of farm lands. The lack of proper fertilization will exhaust the producing properties of a soil and the farm that once was productive mav become practcially sterile. An excellent example of this is furnished by the run down tobacco lands of certain flections in southern states. Once, the most fertile lands in the world, they were worked year in and year out.
without fertilization and without rotation of crops or fallowing, with the result that the soli became exhausted.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of

there is not much which can be done to retrieve these old lands, but the Bureau has made great strides in the last few years in instructing farmers how to prevent a repetition of such exhaustion on still fertile lands. The construction of road3, the ex

they are to become permanent reliable references. - . - Actually these reports -win furnish much data of human interest In the lives and vicissitudes of the fanning population, if they aro to be of genuine value. Suppose, for Instance, that a farmer borrows a substantial sum on an excellent farm, to which excellence much is contributed by the fine barns, stables, graneries and other buildings, which stand upon it. Supppose, then, these buildings are struck by lightning and burned to the ground. It will be seen that the value of that mortgage and the value of the farm havo been much impaired. The record at Washington would be Incomplete and misleading were not an Immediate notation made of th disaster. Further, should the buildings be erected again, that should have its place In the record. These records, as they grow, should contain the material for all novels of rural life that the world could read.
Doubtless they will contain the records of generations of people as the years pass. They should be of the utmost value to antiquarians of the future. It will be recalled that the rural parish records have been the most fruitful source of personal history In England and other foreign countries.
