Mr. and Mrs. John Aylward, Mamie and Jean Conway, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Aylward and son, Merlin, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Aylward and daughter. Karen, of E3gin spent Sunday with Miss Margaret Aylward, William Dr. Barton to be thankful as they treat and are able to cure the disease which physicians of former days found "incurable." Tuberculosis consumption-- meant slow, but certain death. Pernicious anemia and diabetes also meant certain death within a couple of years. Relief for asthmatic attacks was often possible, but how to cure or prevent attacks was unknown. Notwithstanding all these advances In medicine, the oldest disease knows to man, rheumatism, still is a thorn to the side of physicians. Rheumatism has well been called the stepson of medicine. Not only is rheumatism the oldest disease, but it is also fiie most common disease of man, according to a survey made by the United States Public Health Service. "There is almost twice as much rheumatism (arthritis) as heart disease. In former days it was considered almost the natural thing to develop rheumatism as one got older, but this survey showed that half of those permanently disabled by rheumatism were under 55 years of age. If permanently disabled at 55 it means that many were partly or almost completely disabled some years before they reached 55. Infection stm Commonest Cause. In my early years in medicine it was thought that infection--teeth and tonsils--was the cause of most if not all cases. Today it is known that, while infection is still the commonest cause, there are other causes -- coldness and dampness, wrong diet, injury, emotional disturbances and others. While the cause is being sought, treatment today consists in use of pain-relieving drugs, application of heat, diet rich in vitamin B1 and D, and physical therapy Dr. Roger T. Farley, Chicago, has had great success by use of massive doses of vitamin D. Other physicians then tried this method, but reported little or no success. Today the reports on the value of this method are more favorable and it is taking tts place as almost routinrf, treatment in some hospitals. • • • Head Colds From Indoor Swimming are I'M debunker By John Harvey Furbay, Ph.D. EATING POISON IVY WIIL NOT MAKE YOU IMMUNE #«'• \/f ANY towns and cities equipped with swimming pools. These pools are in the great majority of cases kept very clean by washing down the sides and floor once or twice a week, allowing the water to drain over troughs at the edges, and use of chlorine every 24 hours. Despite all these precautions the number of head colds and nose and ear infections is very large. Because of these colds there has been much criticism of these indoor pools: the water is not changed often enough, too much chlorine is used, the air about the pool is too hot wet causing a cold when going outdoors after the swim. One of the causes of these head colds and infections is pointed out by Dr. H. Marshall Taylor, Jacksonville, Fla., in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "It is now an accepted fact that chilling of the body surfaces causes constriction (partial closing of the blood vessels of the skin including the blood vessels if the lining of the nose." It is also an accepted fact that prolonged lack of blood to the lining of the nose (due to this partial closing caused by cool air) naturally reduces the local resistance of the lining of the nose, so that this lining is unable to fight off infection. The cause of these head colds and infections in most cases is thus believed to be (a) breathing in when head is under water, and (b) sitting or standing around the swimming pool and allowing the skin and mucous membrane of.the nose to get chilled instead of keeping body warm by moving around The remedy is to learn to take a long breath when head is out of water and breathe out when under water. Also, to keep the body active when not in the water. ~ v: • * • QUESTION BOX %<«*What causes me to have a burning spot of pain in my chest near my heart?

CONTROL WEEDS DURING THE FALL Check Pest Growth Now; Save Spring Trouble. By JAMES W. DAYTON rlseleetar*/ ** *-•***• MtmaekmmttM Stau ColUg*.) In the spring people talk about weede ae<wefl as about tbe weather, only ttHkqr do something Shoot the weeds. B&t in the fell, weeds are overiMxfetod. They arc efts? accepted as -Mirt of the scenyry and nothing nmii is done shoot them. In fact, they are not always even talked about. But the lute Manner and the fall is really file time to save .a lot of future trouble. For that tte» of year annual weeds are forming tikoasands of seeds sad laying flie foundations for next year s abundance. Perennial weeds are busy storing up food ir. their loots for good, strong growth next spring. The simplest thfeg to do shout these fall weeds is to see that they never ripen seeds. Mow them, or pull them before the seeds are ripe. It is usually best to rake them up and destroy them after they are cut, for weed seeds will ripen after the plant is killed. They put their last resources into preparing for the coming generation. The mowing machine, the scythe, Or Just a plain knife may be used-- all depending upon the size of the job; but don't forget fence corners and the patches of waste land. These may be more expensive areas than you might suspect if they spread weeds over the rest of the farm, and this is the time of year to cut down their costs. Encourage the weed seeds to sprout in the land to be seeded this fall. Then harrow them up at intervals before seeding time comes around. Soon all the weed seeds in the surface soil will have sprouted, and if, when grass and clover are seeded, care is taken not to bring to the surface new soil with additional weed seeds, the crop next year should be exceptionally clean. Fall plowing is often* a help in killing perennial weeds such as witch grass and other "tough customers." If weed roots can be exposed to the cold and drying of winter winds, the plants will have a hard time starting in the spring. Harrowing with a spring-tooth harrow to bring these roots to the surface is often a help. Taking care of weeds in the fall will make that spring weeding job much less arduous. In the long run, time spent fighting weeds at this time of year will do more good than it will in the spring. And almost equally important, fall weed control makes the whole place neat Snd attractive and supplies a "Good Farmer" label that no passerby csn miss. Can Control Gullies By Eliminating Cause Keeping water out of gullies is a sure way of controlling them, and this can be done by terracing, explains R. C. Hay, extension agricultural engineer of the University of Illinois college of agriculture. The approaching slack season after harvest is a good time of the year to do terracing work. Gullies on cultivated slopes can be starved and eventually eliminated by terracing. The terraces not only slow up and divert runoff water from gullies but also materially reduce sheet erosion losses. Farmers' experiences and experiments conducted under the supervision of farm advisers and the college of agriculture show that terraced fields lose only about one-seventh as much soil by erosion as comparable unterraced fields. R. C. Hay explains that water diverted from fields must be handled with care or the formation of gullies at the outiets may result.
