PAGE TWO About your Health Things You Should Know Iby John Joseph Gaines, M. D Tuberculosis Germs Not Inherited Most anybody nowadays can write or speak intelligently of tuberculosis. My little neighbor, a lad of ten, not yet in the "Junior High" refers gravely to "T-B" when conversing with his play-fellows; the learned scientists and satistician bewilder us with technical facts. What to do with the disease however —to com bat it successfully—remains a dark and unfathomable secret. We have found out to a certainty that its cause is a definite baccillus, a living, virile organism, shaped like a rod, multiplying by dividing itself into shorter sections when each individual reaches maturity. Colonies assem bled produce peculiar tissue-growth —tubercules, —nature trying to ward off the intruder. When the baccilli develop destructive power within the tubercle, its walls break down, and general tuberculosis re sults. The outstanding fact to be re membered in tuberculosis is, it is communicable. People do not in herit germs—they ai-e acquired. A child may be infected, and harbor the bacteria for years without sym ptoms. Let him get influenza, or pneumonia or even a severe "cold and the tubercle baccilli awaken to do serious mischief. This brings up a positive conclusion: All tubercular patients should be subjected to the rules of quarantine. They should be taught to save and burn all ex pectorated matter, and should sleep alone, using individual bed-linen. Their towels should be kept separate and sterilized by boiling. The germs when dry, blow every where! A dozen school children racing along in their glee inhaling millions of these deadly germs! If there is an ordinance in YOUR town against spitting on the side walk, make it include the entire street at your next meeting.

SHOWN IN PICTURES Series of Photographs Show ing Production Of Chevrolet Cars To Be Seen At For est City Motor Co. The marvels of modern automo tive precision and production meth ods are depicted in a series of 42 enlarged photographs now being shown to the public at the sales rooms of the Forest City Motor Co., Chevrolet dealers. The photographic series covers the same interesting operations in the manfacture of Chevrolet cars which would be shown a visitor at the factories. One of the most spectacular pic tures shows a huge drop forge ham mer weighing 140,000 pounds. Ham mers of this type are used to make the Chevrolet crankshaft. The fall ing weight is a three-ton block of steel which is lifted by steam.. It is so responsive to the touch of the skilled operators that they are able to place a watch on the bottom die block and strike it with the hammer so delicately that the crystal remains unbroken. Each hammer will forge 880 crankshafts during a 10-hour day. Other striking features of the ex hibit are pictures of a monster ma chine which uses 300,000 amperes of electricity to weld the Chevrolet one piece banjo-type rear axle housing; a machine which drills 32 holes simul taneously in the bottom of the Chev rolet cylinder block; a rotary milling machine which finishes at one oper ation of the lower sides of six cylin der blocks, and a 62-ton press which forms a Chevrolet fender at one stroke. The individual grinding of valves, the delicate blanching of pistons so that every piston in each motor weighs the same and many interest ing and micrometric inspections al so are illustrated in the remarkable exhibit.

TRY THIS SIMPLE MIXTURE If you feel tired after eating, it is often a sign of gas and undigested matter in your stomach or bowels. Simple buckthorn bark, etc., magne sium sulph. c. p., glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adlerika, helps any case gas on the stomach, unless due to deep seated causes. The QUICK action will surprise you.
