Copeland’s HEALTH TALK
% “Slouchy” Health
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
(United States Senator and former Health Commissioner of
New York)
One o! the common pieces of advice I give you is this: Get plenty
Of rest, sleep, good food, fresh air, sunlight and exercise.
You can see the reason for each of these factors of good health. But
let me ask you a question: Why should you exercise?
OR. CU'LLAND,
That may seem like a senseless question, but
Is it? Really, why should a person, who desires
to be strong and healthy, take systematic physi
cal exercise?
The other day I heard a masseuse say to her
patient, "Your arms are soft and flabby. You
should take exercise to develop them,’’
To one who has no work to do with the arms,
no lifting, no boxing to do, to have flabby arm
muscles is of small consequence. If all the other
muscles are hard and strong, the state of the arm
muscles would make little difference.
But here is the trouble: Unless you exercise
every day, keeping the blood in circulation, keep
ing the figure upright and trim, there will be
trouble after a while. It won't be long before
the abdominal walls relax, permitting the inter
nal organs to sag from their proper places.
Nature intended man to have his body muscles tight and firm, so
to keep the abdominal organs in place. It was intended to have the
back muscles in prime condition, In order that the backbone would be
held in the upright position.
It was planned to have the head held in such position as to take
pressure on the big blood vessels
and nerves of the neck. If you per
mit your figure to slouch, the chin
falls on the chest and there is sure
to be interference with the im
portant "triangles” of the neck.
The abdominal wall is thin in
spots. Unless the muscles overlying
these places are firm and strong,

REASON
is one of the recognized
conventions of this place
of business, but we can’t
help wondering what has
become of the little girl
who looked forward to the
day when she would wear
long skirts. A long wait!
No waiting by the road
side with motor trouble or
fouled fuel line if you use
SINCLAIR gas. Its purity
and filtered excellency pro
tects you against the ag
gravating trouble common
ly encountered. You will
find vour confidence in
SINCLAIR gas and OPAL
INE oil well deserved.

there may be a break. Weakness
of the muscles, or undue use of the
muscles here, may cause a break
which results in what we call “her
nia," or in the common speech,
"rupture.”
Unless there is regular exercise,
the muscles of the diaphragm, which
has an important part in breathing,
may grow weak Then there may
be shallow breathing and ill health
in consequence.
These abdominal muscles and the
powerful diaphragm have an im
portant part in helping to circulate
the blood and fluids of the body.
They help the intestines to perform
their function.
Unless there is such general exer
cise as to keep all the muscles in
first-class condition, those that sup
ply the walls of the intestines them
selves won't be able to do then
work. You can sec how necessary
this action is.
The bones of the pelvis are held
in place, as indeed are all the joints,
by certain ligaments. Unless the
muscles are strong, the ligaments
are not helped to do their work. In
the case of the pelvis this condition
may result in certain neuralgic
pains.
In the big blood vessels, especially
in the veins, are muscles which must
be in normal state, if they are to
help the circulation. The heart is
almost all muscular tissue.
Without systematic exercise the
muscles cannot be kept in condition
to do their work. Don't fail to do
your part to keep them strong. In
cidentally, you keep your figure and
good looks.

SEARCH IS ON FOR ‘GIRL’

At first glance the task seems
hopeless, but Mrs. Ackley thinks
otherwise. Twenty years ago

Solid South Going,
Dr. Chase Believes
Surrendering; To Same Forres That
"'Americanized Furope,”
lie Says.
Winter Park. Fla Disappearance
of the "Solid South" through sur
render to the "same forces that are
Americanizing Europe" was pre
dicted by President Harry W. Chase
of the University of North Caro
lina, here in an address on the
"disappearing south" at the Rollins
college first annual institute of
statesmanship.
"This section beeame highly con
ventionalized through the develop
ment and great concentration of
wealth in the hands of a com
paratively small but very powerful
class of large planters.” President
Clia.se recounted «■ "And with the
aristocracy of family and wealth
was established its new system of
operation.”
The section flourished and grew
strong and powerful, he said, and
inevitably developed an underlying
system of philosophy to justify its
basic institutions.
President Chase described how
the South broke with the "Jeffer
sonian ideal" and how growing
economic power and attractiveness
of the southern labor system " con
firmed this section in its view that
government must need represent
property end privilege."
I.ater, President Chase asserted,
came a new culture, order, con
sistent. and correlated, the sort of
culture that had distinctiveness
and such individuality as seen “now
and then in someone about whom
clings the air of being a real per
sonage in a great world."
He described the solidifying of
the cultural system by the recon
struction days and told how the so
cial pattern of those days is dis
appearing.
SICK HEADACHE
Ex-Sheriff Suffered From Con

Clure, for several years a resident
of this city (ill Third Ave. N. W.),
formerly was a political leader in
Pike County, Arkansas, where he
served as sheriff and county Judge.
"I used to suffer with sick head
aches,” says Mr. McClure. “These
spells would come on me and I
would feel very bad. I would get
bilious and upset.
“My trouble was constipation, and
after I found It out. I began using
Black-Draught. This quickly re
lieved the cause, and I got all right.
“I began using Black-Draught in
my home, shortly after the Civil
War. when I lived in Pike County,
Arkansas. I came out of the war,
like many other soldiers, with bad
digestion. I suffered a lot from sick
headache and dizziness. I would get
constipated, and for a while 1 would
feel very bad.
“I found this medicine brought
quick relief for constipation, and re
moved the cause of my headaches
mid dizziness, so we have always
tried to keep It In the hnnf^»,
"After I take a course of Black

STUB TO CLIP
Raleigh—Plans of the revenue
department to Increase the yield of
the North Carolina income tax
| through "closer collections" are
| based primarily upon the Womble
amendments to the penalty section
of the revenue act.
This amendment, which Is aimed
I primarily at Corporations, sets forth
'in detail certain methods of hiding
income which it declares to be Ille
gal. and gives the state government
the power to collect taxes on what
the income of the corporation actu
ally was For example, this section
requires that, when because of an

tion sells goods to another which

[general market price, that it shall
j be taxed on what Its profits should
have been with the prevailing mar
ket prices in that business.

In an effort to bring the state
collections up to the level of the
federal collections, the finance com
mittee inserted in the law another
provision, which requires the state
[revenue department to adopt rules

rules for calculating incomes. In
addition to increasing collections,
tliis section will aid business men
who have been required to keep
two sets of books, one to ascertain
their taxable income under the fed

their taxable income under the

was estimated to bring in $500,000
at least in additional revenue, pro
vided that whenever a taxpayer
received a notice from the federal
government that his Income tax re

the state department. If the tax
payer failed to do this, he could
have been Immediately Indicted for
a violation of this law.
