THE PARAGON (Shelby’s Best) KEEP RESISTANCE TO ALL DISEASE A T PAR One of the Commonest*Causes of Illness Is Lowered Vitality, Frequently the Result of Neglected Hygiene, Says Authority: Live Right! By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. I). United States Senator from New York. Former Commitsioner of Health, Hew York City. HALF the ills of the human family follow abuse or neglect of the digestive organs. Dyspepsia and constipation are the most frequent effects of such misuse. * Just because the bowels move rather freely once a day, is no sure bn COPELAND sign of the absence of constipation, j his move ment may be a delayed one, the material ex pelled being waste which should have passed away two days before. Lowered vitality, which may be the effect of wrong eating, late hours, worry or continued and excessive fatigue, sometimes results in de ficient activity in the muscle wa|)s of the in testine. The general muscular tone falls below par. Naturally the digestive and eliminative organs depending on muscular action, are less vigorous than they should be. This state of affairs may account for the. beginning of the constipation, but when the in testine nils up with the undigested materials, fermentation takes place. With fermentation and decay, further complications are to Ik; ex pected. Poisonous toxins develop and these are eager to attack the system and undermine the health. I _ Almost always an acute infection is founded on a constipated condition. If you are in prime health, you are unlikely to “take” diseases. Your powers of resistance are high and you can snap your fingera at sickness. ♦___ UJ dealing witn constipation, the effect, we must think first of the causes for its presence. By better living, better hygienic standards and better choice of foods, constipation I need not be feared. But its correc tion takes time. To get rid of the dangerous accu mulation in the lower bowel, it may ! be necessary to take a cathartic or laxative. Needless to say. such treat ment does not "cure" the constipa tion. All it does is to clear out that particular cargo of offensive ma terial. But that is most desirable, particularly if you have a cold, core throat, headache, or other evidence of acute infection. Sprays and gargles and pills and powders may give temporary relief to the acute trouble, but their ef fects will be far more satisfactory If the bowels are emptied. There can be no doubt that a clogged in testine delays the healing of any disease. Now. please do not get the idea that daily purging is good for you— It Isn't. ■* Nothing is more damaging than frequent resort to cathartics and purgatives. Correct your eating and manner of living and you will need no medicine. Right living is vastly mors Important than all the medicine in the world. Answer* to Health Queries C. 14. M.

FINDS DIETING IS OF LITTLE VALUE Thayer, Mo—Down in the foot hills of this beautiful Ozark moun tain country one meets a 17-year-old youth who believes dieting to reduce is the bunk. He ought to know—for he has tried it, and— “Gosh, I almost starved to death doing it, and got fat starving,’’ he said, good naturedly. 398 Pounds. This unbeliever in the gosrel o! dieting is Arthur Wolff. He weighs 398 pounds and is 5 feet 11 inches tall. He has a grip on him that makes one glad to get his “five” bac< after shaking hands with him. and can go through athletic stunts that are dlf flcult for some of the 150-pound ers he chums around with. His wind is not short when he takes a good run. He accounts for this because he is an ardent hiker and does plenty of it up and down the Ozark mountains around this little southern Missouri town. Now about dieting. Arthur puts it this way— ' You see, I go to the Thayer high school,” he said, "Well, about tho first flop out of the box I was told I ought to reduce. Well, I thought I ought to, too, so I says to ’em to show me how. “They told me to quit eating this and that and the other. Doggonit, they picked out about everything I liked to eat, and told me to lay off of it. "Then they told me to take a lot of exercise—run, jump, play pall, football. They didn’t leave anythin;: out of the athletic menu. “Well, I gave the program a ‘house.’ I did everything they told me to do. And what do you think? Derned if I didn’t wind up weigh ing more’n when I started dieting, and t thought I’d die from starva tion. “I got so blamed hungry exercis ing that I just had to walk out of my way every time I went down town so that I wouldn't pass a res taurant where they might be cook ing things. But I stuck out the pro gram in spite of that terrible empty feeling—but you needn’t think I’m going to do it again. Why? Cuz it doesn’t do any good.” But the athletic program did a lot for him. It hardened his muscles into strength that makes him the town’s “iron man” and the terror for any football te^n that cares to take on the Tb r nigh school eleven. The citizenj here marvel at his strength, and lie often stages an :m DEMOCRATS PLEASED ABOUT GA. VICTORY Georgia Victor Was For At Smith In Contest Last Fall. Urmo nr rats dated. Washington, >D.

The issues paramount !n the special election were almost ex clusively national, as they acre in the third Kentucky district special election which resulted in the re demption of the district by the Democratic party. The result in the Georgia election is especially signi ficant because of the fact that It is the most populous of any congres sional district in the entire South eastern territory. Commenting today on the sweep ing victory, Senator Harris. Georgia, said :: "The election of Ramspeck the regular Democratic nominee, hy an overwhelming vote shows that the division in the Democratic ranks last November was only temporary and now the Democrats are solidly back in the party fold. “It is not without special signifi cance that in the national election all the counties In the district ex cept the two smallest went for rton ver and yesterday all five counties gave the regular Democratic nomi nee large majorities. promptu strong man act by picking up two or three averaged sized men and holding them with ease in his arms.

Charlotte,—The grave of Coioncl Ferguson, commander of British forces engaging in the Revolution ary war battle at Kings Mour.totn, which has remained unmarked since 1780, will be identified by an np-1 propriate marker, which will be un veiled October 7, 1930, at caremou ies which how are being planned by the Town of Kings Mountain, according to an announcement made today by Col. T. L. Kirkpa trick, of Charlotte, incidental to t|ic arrival of the 149th anniversary of the battle. Arrangements were made by Col. Kirkpatrick with R. E. Scoggins, of tire Scoggins Memorial Art, com pany, of Charlotte, for the con struction of the memorial at +Iie grave of the British soldier. Colo nel Kirkpatrick said the announce ment of this plan was timed for to day because of “the fortunate ctr pumstance that, Premier Ramsay MacDonald, of the English govern ment, Is in the United States Rr the purpose of promoting the cause of peace” and because this da? was an anniversary of the battle. Ap propriate steps were taken to have Premier MacDonald informed of the plan for honoring the memory of Colonel Ferguson. It was announc ed that at the proper time the British government will be invited formally to send an official repre sentative to participate in the un veiling of the memorial, which is expected to be one of the most in teresting events of the ceremonies to be held a year hence at the scene of the battle high up on the steep slope of Kings Mountain, about 35 miles from Charlotte. Colonel Kirkpatrick said he has written Senator Lee Overman, of this state, and Congressman C. A. Jonas, representing this district, to request of the federal government permission to erect this memorial on land which now is set aside as a federal reservation. The obtain ing of this permission was declared to be a matter of mere formality. > Inasmuch ns next year will bring the 150th anniversary of the BaRle One-Hundred Passenger Airship Recently Erected In Germany Equipped With 12 Gas Engines It Is Now The Wonder Of The Age. "Having seen all this I still don’t believe it," That was the postscript added to a cable describing the flight of the 100-passenger Domier Do-X flying boat sent by Charles D. Williams, engineer of the Stout-D and C. Air Lines, from Germany to his em ployers, relates The Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr. Williams is now in thts city engaged in supervising the assembly of two Doriner Superwals, I’ttle thirty-passenger brothers of the Do X, at the Naval Aircraft factory at League Island. "With all its twelve engines run ning,” Mr. Williams said recently, “the huge boat lifted a weight of fifty-two tons. With only eight en girds running it got off quite easiiy with a load of forty and a half tons. "This was from Lake Constance, 1200 feet above sea level. Put the Do-X on the ocean and its perform ance will be even greater.” Yet for all its huge size and the great weight carried, Mr. Wii'inms said, flying the boat is no greater task than handling a small plane. It seems, indeed, like the fulfilment of a flier's sweetest dreams. Pilot’s Work Limited. The pilot Aboard has nothing to do but fly. Instead of the maw of instruments found on the usual air plane he has only before him the devices actually used in .flying such as turn, pitch and bank indicators. Two tachometers each show the average speed of six engine and two throttles each control six power plants. The rest is up'to the mechanics, who are two compartments hack of the pilots. The performance of in dividual engines, oil pressure, gas oline flow, engine heat and all other details of power output are their affair. Even the course the craft may take is of no great concern to the of Kings Mountain, the authorities of the town named for that Isolated peak already are giving thought to plans for a celebration on the occa sion of that anniversary. The Daughters of the American Revolu tion and numerous other organi sations will be invited to assist in those preparations and partici pate in the events of the day, it was explained. pilots, for between them and the mechanics is the bridge with a nav igation officer in charge. Below the compartments for the crew are the passengers’ quarters, six and a half feet high and run ning almost the entire length of the “hull. They include lounge and din ing rooms, berths and a well-equip ped kitchen. Beneath the space for passengers is stored the fuel, 5,000 gallons, enough to make a transatlantic flight with ease. Only by flying it over, Mr. Wil liams said, will one of the two sis ter-ships to the Do-X no%v being constructed be able to reach this country, since it would be impossi ble to put it aboard a ship either in the hold or on the deck. "While the boats are perfeci'v capable of carrying as many as 100 passengers,” he said, “it is pivcvb.'. that in commercial operation sev enty fares will be carried over flight of 1,000 miles in length. "The performance of the boat is a great tribute to Dr. Claude Dor nier and his staff, who devoted their entire time and energy for three years to the design and construction of the boat. “So fine was the engineering that the results of the test tllghts tallied almost identically with the performances predicted. Samples of every part of the boat were tested to destruction and in some cases re designed until finally the boat was built, almost entirely by hand, with even the rivets being hand-driven “It would probably be a matt?r of many years before any factory in this country could be ready to build such a craft. We are far behind Germany in the production of fly ing boats, which I believe to be the ultimate type of airplane, “Every large city In Ajnerica has water frontage whir11 institutes a natural airport for flying boats. Both the amount of ground avail able for land planes and the great strain imposed by heavy weights on landing gears will limit the size of anything but seaplanes. “Dr. Domier’s latest creation is a steady propagation froiri his first eighty-horsepower boat through the Superwal? which we are assem bling here. It is only natural to suppose that he is planning an even larger craft.” A Chicago man offers to trade his typewriter for a shotgun. Prob ably this should be a warning to a couple of editors.
