Take precautions to help prevent accidents, even though you are extra-busy with your cabning job. Miss Gladys Ward, home management specialist, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, said you must be especially careful when you're using a pressure canner. Always let the pressure down tp sero before you release the cover. An Illinois homemaker suffered severe burnt because in a hurry, she opened the cover before the pressure was down. Open the petcock to let out any remaining steam after the pressure is down. Then loosen the cover and take it oft. Remember to turn the lid away from you as you remove it, to direct the steam away from your face. v Use care in removing vefy hot jaVs and cans. Miss Ward says. Some jars containing hot water seem to break easily, resulting in bad burns or cuts. Keep pot holders handy and use them frequently. Be sure to read and follow manufacturer's directions in operating and**%rinjt<'for your pressure canner. T'he manufacturer knows and gives safe directions for using his product. Store the direction booklet in a convenient place for quick reference when needed. Some accidents occur because the direction booklet cannot be found when it is needed. HEALTH TALKS •EBCDICATE HOUSE The old state-house at Vandalia, where the Secretary of State's office and the Supreme Court room have been restored after years of research, was rededicated recently in a program arranged by state and local agencies and organisations. Vandalia wajf capital of Illinois from 1820 until 1837, when Abraham Lincoln, then a member of the General Assembly, led a successful drive to move the seat of state government tp Springfield. The transfer took place in 18M. \ J' »• •«-& • • • : . -v .SertetaiM .:,b ' Geriatrics is a medical term delved from two Greek words meanlb* "care of old age". Thus it covers the study of diseases and care of the aged, a growing problem brought about by the advances of medicine, according to the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society in a Health Talk. What is old age? "How can it be determined? In 18SQ» the average* length of life was 40 years. Persons achieving that age were considered old, yet today the average life span is 67.2. The chronological age, or the years spent in living, has nothing to do with the physiological age. which is the evolution of natural changes in the body. Many perions are spry and full of xest at 70 while, on the other hand, there are some individuals who are old" at 20 Actually old age Is not a disease jand experience, but rather that period when the] encouraged to new fulfilments of. life's enterprise. Small hobbies have yielded big dividends when put to use occupatlonally. Anything that provides a feeling of usefulness and a purpose in living is extremely important to every man and woman. Today's industrial trends point to the compulsory retirement of workers, a major factor in the increasing unrest among older persons. It's a young world, they say, and our day is over. How much better to retain the skill and experience of the older person by placing him in a position where he can produce, even on a limited basis, and thus retain his own individuality as a useful cltlsen. Even part-time work will do much to keep the vast army of older persons from becoming a community problem. You're as young as .you feel, go refrain from wondering how old is old? Keep pace with new interests, make your hobbies productive or learn a new business. Don't count your age by adding your years. Instead enjoy the mental maturity that comes with understanding tissues and muscles of the body ) Complete line of Beebe livestock Read the Want Ads! break down and lose their elasticity. Advancing years' bring about many changes In the body which affect the kidneys, the heart, the eyes and the ears. Then there are cancer, arthritis, and the many changes in the glsnds of the body. And again there Is the mental deterioration often associated with senility. Thus the process of aging, the problems of the aged and the more common diseases and diaabilities associated with aging are met by the physician In the field of geriatrics. Children today must be taught the importance of good nutrician and good health, for it Is they who will for the "aged" population of tomorrow. Understanding Is essential with the older person. Emotionally his problem is great. Very often a certain age marks his retirement from an occupation that has not only made htm economically^ sound, but kept hint busy and use-* ful. Thus reaching this age. the emotional conflict is great because of the feeling of inadequacy and 'of not being wanted. Wrong is the attitude of the aged not to try new things, for actually the capacity to learn Is retained to an appreciable degree throughout life.

Statistics show that #7 percent of last year's accidents were caused by drivers with at least one year's experience. Learning how to drive is relatively easy. The mechanics of driving become second nature soon after a student "solos". At this critical point, attitudes begin to take over. The super caution of the beginner is diluted by an everincreasing confidence based on experience. And, with too many drivers. caution is ultimately replaced by indifference, carelessness. The skill of experience can sometimes get you out of ^rouble on the highway. But trie chances are your over-confidence, your indifference got you into the trouble in the first place. The moral 1b clear and urgent. Those of us who are experienced drivers must also be ham Me drivers.

Watch him briefly in the stream of traffic --and, if he is a normal Cadillac driver, you will quickly sense what we mean. He drives as befits his mood and his requirements, and is quite content to let others do the same.' Unless he happens to be in a hurry, it is all right with him if another driver wants the honors when the light turns green. He knows that the surplus power in that eager, dynamic engine was put there for his safety and driving ease--and not for dramatic display on the get-away. And so on the open rofcd. If you wish to iS'sA i'\ 1 pass him--just let him know. He understands that his last two inches of throttle were not put there for the ungracious purpose of dominating the highway. They ate there for an emergency--and for that lovely, cruising ride which only a great reserve of power can provide. So roll along, if you're in a hurry--amj{ the top o* the mornin* to you! It's a wonderful thing, this feeling of calm confidence in your motor car. It lessens the strain, and increases the pleasure, of every mile you drive.
