a member of the Seventh Day Ad

married to Hiram M. Paul, also of
Traftsbure. and to this couple
were born 13 children, 10 of whom
are now living. Mrs. Fam s nus
hand was a soldier in the Grand

War between the States. They
first came to Highlands about 44
years ago, and made their home

years ago, and since that time
had made her home with her son,
Guv Paul.

Stick the hogs, Nance said ; allow

Do not feed the hogs within 24
hours of killing time.

Proper Way To Kill
Hogs Explained
The farmer who uses haphazard
methods and trusts to luck at hog
killing time runs a big risk of
losing his meat.
The right way to kill hogs is
just as easy as the wrong way,
suggests R. E. Nance, professor
of animal husbandry at State Col
lege, and with proper curing, it
virtually assureA,successful preser
vation of the meat.
Many of the methods employed
in "Dad's time" were responsible
for the heavy losses usually ex
perienced. Nance pointed out some
of the worst faults, as follows:
Hogs were usually killed on the
coldest day of mid-winter, under
the impression that tht extreme
cold helped preserve the meat. Bit
ter cold weather made the task
difficult, and it was rushed through
in too big a hurry.
A temperature of 28 to 40 de
grees is preferable. The carcasses
should be allowed to hang up
overnight in the smokehouse so as
to let all the animal heat dissi
pate before the curing is started.
The custom of shooting hogs or
knocking them in the head was

THF FAMILY
ALONG OUR WAY
I live under the very eaves of a
large city, a noted medical center.
An inter-state Clinic is being held
there this week. Eminent men of
our profession from all over the
country are giving the people the
best that they have, and, right up
to the minute.
They note a vast increase in the
number of deaths from heart fail
urenot of germ-origin. Men are
dropping down everywhere, in or
dinary middle life. This should not
be. Is the situation preventable?
We are studying studying and it
!c iliiirh time . . .
The eminent observers say that
heart-failures are due in a large
or n thr terrific strain of the
times. Men are falling in the
struggle to make a living to make
an4o tYlPpt
Well, it will do it, this thing of
nnttincr nn the bodv more than it
can stand. I ask: is life worth so
little that we sacrifice it for the
mri. hauhle of worldlv gain? Is
not life more than gold and fine
In my humble way I have fought
against worry, against taxing these
bodies and brains of ours for more
than thev will stand. We can al
ways overdo. The worst of over-dnino-
is the wearing out of vital
organs in mad flight from imagin
ary terrors or in mortal conflict to
outdo OUr fellow-man 1 There is
no doubt that we do these things
in utter disregard of the deadly
consequences.
Deaths from "heart-failure" are
in remarkable increase, due to the
depression, they say. The pity is
they are right. Can you prevent
your own heart-failure? I believe
you can. Make up your mind right
now to CEASE WORRY. Let mat
ters go hang that are not worth
a human life. Ask your family
physician about it.

tinguish the particular plant from
others. In medicinal plants, leaves,
roots, flowers ot seeds, the active

loid." That means, likeness ot a
salt, or alkali. Nicotine is the ul
timate principle of tobacco. Mor
phine, the alkaloid of opium; the-
ine the alkaloid of tea, and so on
Caffeine is the active principle
of coffee. I have said in these
columns that, caffeine is one o
the most valuable of heart tonics
It is virtually harmless, if used in
moderation. Immoderate use is
harmful in anything. I have been
criticized, even berated, for telling
this sort of truth. I pay no at
tention to the senseless carping of
shallow, ignorant faddists.
Let me give you some opinions
of eminent authors on caffeine
Hare says. "Caffeine is a valuable
cardiac stimulant and tonic, as well
as a renal (kidney) stimulant .
so useful in cases of cardiac dis
ease, that it has largely supplanted
dicritalis in the hands of some
practitioners. ... A cup of strong
black coffee is often useful ui re
lieving a paroxysm of asthma. .
In headache, due to nerve-strain, it
is often of the greatest service.
We give two to four grains of
caffeine in disease: the average
cup of coffee contains about half a
grain.
Caffeine eentlv raises lowered
blood-pressure by its tonic action.
It may slightly increase high blood
pressure by stimulating the entire
nervous system. But that is only
temporary.
Don'frely on coffee to offset the
effects of overwork. If you are
overworking, rest . . . And, do it
right now.
