The Readers Digest.) = By Logan Glendening, MD, ~~ ° It is always assumed that the acquisition and preservation of of health is probably the most important thing in the world, I venture to doubt the assumption. If efforts to obtain health re- quire all your time and attention, I venture to suggest that the end 1a nat, Worth the means Re PANT STE a There are a great many things in the World more important 1 than health. To mention one--I believe it is more important ta oF Ui learn to do your work well. Tt is staggering to consider the 4 amount of shoddy work now being done in this world. At a time when everyone is howling for more work and even employment, - when you might think that the fangs of necessity would urge - every prospect to perfect himself in at least one branch of en- deavour, it is so rare as to be refreshing to find one person dis- baying even the most moderate degree of efficlency at his task, ~ s AAnd so I say it is far more important to learn your job than to 1) Ba - take time trying to add a cubit to your biceps muscle, ; 1 Ig Another thing that séems to me mare important than health |B is the cultivation of the amenities. When you get to be my age you find out that most people are bores, We do not seem to think "that it is necessary any more to develop a talent--any originality, or charm, or grace. We are incapable of talking about anything : ; but business, or our tastes in eating and drinking, or our opera- A | 5 tions, or our children, or prohibition. Or our health. : A ESE ~~ Three-fourths of the so-called problems of modern life would ae he automatically solved if this were deliberately remedied. For «© pstance, the reason most marriages go on the rocks has very little to Most of them go on the rocks dp with their health or sex. Mg because one or'both parties are totally untrained in exerting any sustained charm---which means displaying an interest in matters that are impersonal and unselfish. In short, avoiding househald 'troubles, business, one-sided interest, and the state of the liver. Agreeing, then, that health is probably the fourth or fifth 3 most important thing in life, what can be done abqut it?

Which - constant about, longevity: is" that long-lived people produce long- lived .off-spring. As I say, it is too late for us to do anything a about this health rule. - But you can remember it when you are £ about to get married or to choose éither a mother or father, as the case may be, for your children. Of course, I: know from exper- lence that when the time comes you won't do this. But,still. it is. my duty to mention it. TE ; ' : * The fourth rule for a healthy living may appear to be some- what contradictory. The principal soiirce of disease or a lack of oni health is contagion, and the best way to avoid contagion and, ~ therefore, the best way to be healthy, is to acquire immunity to as many of the contagious diseases as possible. It is possible to acquire immunity artifically to smallpox, diphtheria' and typhoid fovea i nflapespasin, to'tetanus and hydrophobig. ~Evetyone, 'therefore, sho vaccinated in infancy agaihst smallpox, ty- aid Thver ann dimpthariny ot 1p infancy agaibet smalipsk, : * Immunity to other diseases is largely contact i unity.

Necessary information has not yet arrived this week. : & |Herbert Tompkins and the most productive oil field inf the, week end, attending a wedding of Appeared in Port Berry Court Appearing before Magistrate Purdy in Port Ferry on June 28th, on a charge of arson, Herbert Tompkins, aged 18 years, an English home boy in" the employ of L. G. Brown, of, the Oth concession of Reach, was remand- ed_ in custody to the County Jail for a.period of eight days. The charge resulted from the burning of Mr. Brown's barn. " " It" is alleged that Tompkins, who had been in the employ of Brown for the past two years, asked Mrs. Brown for some money. As Mr, Browit>was 'absent from home, being in Uxbridge on business, he was told that he would have to wait until his employer returned home. He is then alleged to have stated that he would burn the barn if hé was not paid. It is claimed he then took some matches and went to the barn. After the fire was discéovered Tomp- kins made 'off across the fields into the bush. A call was put in to the police, being responded to by County Constable Charles Lavery, of Whitby, who went to the Brown home and secured a description of the man and started a search for him. Later in the afternoon the constable in" com- pany with William Heard, of Whitby, visited the farm of Fred Dure; some ten miles from the Brown farm and learned that Tompkins had had his dinner there #nd was still on the premises. Tompkins, on seeing the car tried to make his escape into a grain' field, but was headéd off and taken into ctstody. "L. 0. Clifford's Barn Burned . A spectacular fire, the origin of which is unknown, completely de- stroyed the splendid barn on the farm of LL. O. Clifford, former M.P. for South Ontario, south of the highway at Harmony. "In addition to the barn being completely destroyed, the losses included expensive equipment, includ- ing electric - motors and grinding machinery, hay-rakes and other farm implements, between 50 and 60 tons. of hay, and about sixty chickens which were in the barn. The total loss is estimated at between $8,000 and $10,000, only partly covered by in- surance. . } Decoration Service - at Utica 2 Decoration services will be held at Utica cemeteries, on Sunday, July 9.
