Show r THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH DICKENS ON HEALTH STRING HOLDER -SUNBONNET GIRL The advice of Charles Dickens relative to public health can still be read with profit, Marlon Wefer points out in an article on The Doctors of Dickens in Hygeia Magazine Dickens says In part, After conversing with many members of the medical profession in America, am not singular in the opinion that much of the disease which does prevail might be avoided if a few common precautions were observed. The custom of hastily swallowing large quantities of animal food, three times a day, and rushing back to sedentary pursuits after each meal, must be changed; the gentler sex must go more wisely clad, and take more healthful exercise.

Address Home Craft Co. Dept A., Nineteenth and St. Louis Ave., Many moralists will undoubtedly wag their heads and say that this is because the modern girl wears too few clothes and stays up too late. But then how explain that in her grandmothers day, when girls wore loads of clothes and the wildest party was over before twelve, the same proportion of girls died of tuberculosis then as now? In a study which we have been making In the medical research department of the University of Illinois, we have learned that since 1870, when the first vital statistics In this country were collected, the peak age for deaths from tuberculosis among girls was In the group. That peak has held for every decade. In 1870, 208 girls died to each 100 boys in the group; In 1880, 230 . girls; In girls; In 1890, 250 1910, 262 girls; in girls; In 1900, 257 1920, 255 girls. The Jump from 208 girls In 1870 to 262 girls in 1910 Is explained by the fact that the general death rate for girls In the 1870, 1880 and 1890 decades was much higher than it has been so far In this century. This means that In the earlier years not so many age girls reached the as now, with our lowered death rate. They had more typhoid, diphtheria, and other Infectious diseases In those days to take their tolL Moreover we learned that this conother dition held true In twenty-fiv- e countries besides our own where statistics were available. In every country the peak age for the death of girls from tuberculosis was in the group, and In every country more than twice as many girls died as boys In the same age group. That set us thinking. Modern flapper foolishness certainly couldn't be held responsible for a condition that has held for decades all over the world. The cause Is physiologicaL This period Is the time when a girl passes through the stage from girlhood to womanhood. It Is in this time that she starts her regular stimulation periods, when the metabolism of the body Is Increased. In tuberculosis the cure Is largely rest, but with this monthly Increased metabolism rate the body cant rest What then, can be done about decreasing this high death rate among girls? The common sense thing Is:tuberculosis. let the dont girls get You may say that is easier said than done. But young girls can be kept away from active cases of tuberculosis. This is easier to do now than It was In the past because active cases of tuberculosis are now usually brought to sanitoriums where they can be given the proper care. But If a girl should contract tuberculosis, then take care of It In the early stages. Tuberculosis can be cured easily If it is taken at the beginning. It is when It has been allowed to make progress that its cure is difficult- ' Parents of young girls should be on the watch always to note signs of listless or finicky appetite, lack of desire to play or do active exercise, irritability. The cause may be 6ome other reason entirely, but suspect tuberculosis and take her to the doctor for an examination. One of the great landmarks of medical science was the discovery of the tuberculin test by Von Pirquet in 1907. By means of the tuberculin test it Is possible to find out whether a person has ever been Infected by the germ of tuberculosis. The test is made by placing a small amount of a substance called tuberculin between the layers of the skin. If the person has ever been Infected, a small red swollen spot will appear within two days. If your daughter should react to this tuberculin test, then the physician will give her further tests to determine whether or not the disease is walled up or In an active state. He can do this by pictures and an examination of the chest There Is not much occasion for alarm when the disease Is treated at the beginning. As we said before, tuberculosis can be cured easily when recognized in Its early stages. WAR CAPTIVE, IS ENJOYING LIFE destined to spend so many years of his life on alien soil, and for whom he was named by his American when it was discovered through his leg band that he had been bred In the Royal Bavarian lofts, the pigeon Wilhelm carries his years well. For at seventeen, an age at which most homing pigeons have long since passed on, he appears as hale and hearty as many much younger birds, nor has he lost his excellent homing Instincts. cap-to- Sixteen years ago, just before the end of the World war, writes Helen G Loomis In the Detroit News, American soldiers participating In the St Mlhiel drive In France found two homing pigeons, Rheingold and Helene, In a dugout that had been occupied by German soldiers. Both birds were taken captive and Rheingold, since rechristened Wilhelm, is still alive and enjoying good health at the pigeon lofts of the U. S. A. signal corps at Fort Monmouth, N. J., Capt. Edgar L. Clewell, public relations officer of the signal corps, reports. A number of other pigeons were captured by American forces during the war, but Wilhelm is the sole sur vlvor of them all and likewise holds the distinction of being the only one of all of them to claim the Royal Bavarian lofts as his first home. He still wears with pride the band bearing the Imprint of the German royal crown and crest, proof of his former associations with royalty. Like that other Wilhelm, who was Western Newspaper Union. rs Taught Weed Cultivation Weeds are encouraged to grow In a garden which Is beautifully kept at an elementary school near Belfast, Ireland. Under the guidance of the ministry of education, 25 teachers are being taught how to teach horticulture to the pupils In the rural area. Every sort of weed Is grown in orderly fashion. There are neat little rows of regular garden pests which drive the amateur gardener to despair. They are fostered and tended as if they were orchids. By careful examination of the specimens, the students get to know a lot about' weeds, and there will be a great slaughter when they return to their own school gardens.
