Forty-two of the states produce apples in commercial quantities. Citronella oil, bane of mosquitoes, comes from a grass found in Java and Ceylon. The famous teddy bear is more like the Australian koola than like the real bear. . Sickness insurance funds of Germany have opened gymnasiums for children of the insured.

Dr. William Stuart of the Depa ment of Agriculture in Washingto: exhibiting specimens of the new vari ety of potatoes the scientists of th department have developed. It i believed this potato is immune to th blight and most of thq other disease which prey on the tuber crop.

Ruins of a city of unknown origin have been discovered in the valley of Eskl-Kermen in Crimea. The sugar that the United States bought from Cuba in 1927 amounted to $56 per capita of the Cuban population. If 100 feet were added to a string and stretched tightly around the equator, you could drive a load of hay 16 feet high under it anywhere.

1 HOW TO LIVE | | LONGER •♦• ? I ! 1 X JOHN CLARENCE FUNK i A MASTER CRIMINAL ONE person out of every live who contracts pneumonia dies from ’IL And that Is a margin much too close to risk. Moreover, this black- i guard is no respecter of persons. It nits the high and the low. the poor and the rich,, the known and the unknown, the robust and the weak. It plays no favorites and It treats everyone exactly alike—with all its power it attempts to slay. Now the sad part ot the story Is that in most eases it need not have been. Carelessness has been responsible for most of pneumonia's activities—either carelessness on the part of the affiicted person or of some one else. As with other trouble-makers germs are hack of It all and their great potency is not to be found only in their particular killing character, but in their general presence as well. Ry far the majority ot the com municable diseases are usually con tracted from persons suffering with the particular malady (carriers excepted). but with this master criminal the germ may be contracted from the throat and nose discharges of entirely well people. Moreover, it is possi. ble for these germs under certain conditions to live a long time. Pneumonia frequently starts with a severe chill, prostration, loss of ap petite and a congested feeling in the chest noticeable uj»on breathing or coughing, followed a little later Dy bloody expectorations. fortunately the recognition of pneumonia symptoms does not require a trained intelligence. If you notice any of them, go to bed at once and call a physician Indeed. If a slight cold appears visit vc.ur doctor A neglected cold is one , cause of pneumonia In the next 3(15 days 150,<*H) people tn America alone will succumb to this disease. This is sufficient excuse for a few common sense rules. I. Sick or well, always cover your nose <>r mouth when sneezing and coughing. 2. ho not expectorate upon the floors, streets or in public places. 3 Breathe as much fresh air as possible. 4. Sleep with your windows open hut avoid drafts. 5. In winter time keep the Indoor temperature between 68-72- degrees. 6. Wear medium-weight clothing during the cold season and overcoats suitable to the temperature outside. 7. Avoid all foolish exposure. Now then, the rest is up to you 1 • * ♦ RESPECT IT THE average person over-rates the killing power of old age. True, if you live long enough old age finally ■ will lay you low That is where the joke comes, in We don’t give it a chance. If the newspaper accounts and vital statisticians are to be lieved. there is a painfully large group of people who are in that class They prefer dying by means of the automobile. No old age for them. No. in deed! It is a pathetic reflection on sclentiti.progress, this back-tiring by one ot i the most useful and pleasure-giving ! machines ever invented by man As a killer it is high up on the list. And i apparently, so far no amount <»t talking or preaching has been able to curb the fatal exhibitions of carelessness daily displayed. The great war did much damage to American manhood, but there were many times the number ot people i slaughtered last year in the United States by automobiles than were killed In the American forces during rhe entire conflict. These are unvarnished facts. What good is It for health departments. for physicians and for sani tariums to do everything in their combined power to keep you well if you deliberately step in front of a passing car and let it kill you? What is the use of smallpox protection, antitoxin and the rest of the public health safeguards if you persist in driving your car at sixty miles an hour, and end up in a crash at the side of the road? The sooner every person realizes that automobiles are not harmless playthings and that, whether as pedestrian or driver, an everpresent hazard to be hurt or killed by them exists, just that much sooner will the death rate from this personally preventable cause be markedly reduced. Public health officials can cope with the communicable diseases; modern science can. and does, regulate sanitation ; interstate commerce laws and state regulations surround f<«»ds with safeguards and protect them against adulteration, but when it comes to protecting you against the hazard ot a joy ride, the thoughtless driver and the careless pedestrian, you and you only are the boss. Why not give this question serious consideration? Give old age at least a sporting chance at yon. (©. 1929 Western Newspaper Union.)
