Show ' THE RICH COUNTY REAPER RANDOLPH, UTAH Let Our Motto Be SHOWS SPEED OF THOUGHT GOOD HEALTH A method of studying the movements of the eye in reading aloud, and correlating them with the actual pronunciation of the words, has been announced in Science Magazine by Prof. Joseph Tiffin of Iowa university. Photographic records of the eye and the sound track produced by the voice show that the voice lags about a second behind the eye. This may be taken as a measure of the speed of thought: the time required for the mind to recognize the word and transmit the necessary orders to the speech apparatus. The record also shows that the eye does not travel smoothly along a line of type, but proceeds by a series of jerks. BY DR. LLOYD ARNOLD . Professor of Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine, University of Illinois, College of Medicine. LET THE AIR BE MOIST IN YOUR HOMES . I remember as a boy going with my father past a very pretentious house. It was below zero that morning, and recalling our own frozen windows at home, I exclaimed, Gee, they must keep It awfully warm in that house. See there isnt any frost on the windows. And my father answered, Those people should be ( ashamed that there isnt frost on their windows on a cold morning like this. Those clear windows mean that the air in their house is too dry. You may be sure they have a good deal of sickness. I knew that was true, for the girl was in my room in school, and she always had a cold. Then we went into a house on whose windows the frost was so thick that there were only spots of blank glass. But I can always see in my mind that big cheerful kitchen with the teakettle stove. The singing on the children, not allowed to go out yet, were and noisy in an active way, and there was a big bowl of apples on the table and a pitcher of milk. Thats a healthy family, said my father, when we were outside again. Did you notice that there was steam going Into the air all the time? You could breathe with comfort there. One of the first things I learned In medicine was that my fathers observation was true. wood-burnin- rosy-cheeke- g d PATHETIC DIFFERENCE INDEED REQUEST An old woman in a distressed area of Wales has written to the Personal Service league requesting that when she died she should be buried wearing a shawl she has received from the league, because It Is the only present I have ever had, and I would not like to be parted from it.

ROSSITER, Mgr. You People who live in houses in which the air is too dry are almost always ailing. If you will notice the next time you go out on a wintry day how many of your neighbors have too dry air, and then think over what you know about their health, you will find, I believe, that they are apt to be rheumatic and they are bothered with a good many head colds. Human beings are not so constituted that they can stand winter dry air in their houses without showing the effects of it. We have In ourselves the best barometer that will tell us whether or not the air we are breathing is too dry for health. Between your nostrils is a thin membrane. If the mucous lining of that feels dry when you touch it with your finger, then you are, a good subject for a cold. Breathing began with the first animal capable of living on dry land, so the breathing apparatus Is one of the oldest pieces of our body machinery. It ventilates the body as we all know, and the capillary network of blood vessels interwlning within the wall of the nose brings blood close to the surface of the nose to warm or cool the air we breathe, and to give it the proper humidity. When air gets to the windpipe, it is always body temperature, summer and winter. The wall of the nose is our thermostat and humidifier. But if there is not enough humidity in the air, then how can the nose get sufllcient moisture to transmit to the lungs? Furnace heat Is one of the big reasons why the air In our houses is dryer than it was in the (lays of our forefathers when they had to do most of their heating of water in open kettles on top of the stove or over fires. But it is not necessary to have dry air with furnace heat Pans of water can be placed on tops of radiators or In the pans Intended for that purpose in hot air furnaces. If you are subject to frequent winter colds, then give close attention to the humidity in your house. Fortunately our houses are better ventilated than they were in the past We are a little more particular about our "smells. But even so, there are still far too many people who sleep with closed windows at night They seem to think it is too costly to warm cold air. They do not realize that the most difficult thing of all is to warm stale air. A cold house in' the morning filled with fresh air can be warmed very quickly. A house with dead air never feels warm. Most persons who have the air too dry or too stale in their houses also dress too warmly when they are indoors. or Every person unless ordered otherwise by a doctor, shonld go out Into the open air every day. It Is only by experiencing changes in temperature that we can make our skim react quickly to extremes In temperature, And the person whose skin re acts quickly does not often get colds. bed-ridd- O.
