There are a good manyjeople in this country who are laboring under almost untold solicitude because of their fear that they are doomed to be the victims some time or other of hereditary diseases. Not a few of them-actually impair their health and resistive vitality by worry over this dreadful contingency. It may some consolation for them to know that every advance in modern medicine has reduced the significance of heredity as a fact or in disease, until now there is practically no disease left that Is considered to be directly inherited, says the New York Herald.

Defects are inherited but not disease. The older ideas of heredity of disease are now acknowledged to have been an erroneous conclusion. The American Society for the Control of Cancer has strongly re-emphasized what the New York state depart ment of health has recently published with regard to the heredity of cancer. "There is no reason whatever to worry because one member of the family has suffered from the disease. The oc currence of two or even more cases in a family is.

due purely to chance." Cancer was the one affection in which the heredity question has been cleared up only In the last few years. To worry over the heredity of disease any longer Is to borrow trouble with no reason for it. Flour is Explosive. Daring the last ten years, about twenty; explosions have occurred in cereal, floor and feed mills, with the loss of million dollars' worth of property, aa well as thd killing or injuring of over 200 employees. Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved conclusively what aye the difficulties to 'be avoided.

In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks produced In the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances cominc into contact with the plates of the machine may produce enough sparks to ignite the dust within the machine. Another possible, cause for cereal dost explosions, suggested is the use of naked flames. Popular Science Monthly. To Be Held APPOINTMENTS POR JUNE.

Second-hand air is far worse than a second-hand toothbrush, yet many persons who would be horrified at the use of the latter are willing to inhale the air exhaled from other people's The Importance of good ventilation, where several people are sitting, cannot be over-emphasized. In prevailing air, remember that if two gas jets are burning they are consuming as much good air as four persons, and one kerosene lamp consumes the amount.

A lamp left with the flama turned down adds very much to the Impurity of the air because of imperfect combustion. If you use a gas droplight aad will remove the tubing for a test, you readily see from the odor of gas which escapes how necessary it Is to take it down frequently and air It "HERE IS 10 CENTS FOR YOU CUT OUT ON LINE.

If we could "forget the tradition yand look at the facts, cur attitude would change.

As It is, this large margin of time, continually and increasingly ours. Is, as it were theoretically nonexistent It has not yet received official recognition. There- fore, being treated as something contingent and accidental instead of something expected and calculable, it has no dignity, no coherence In its ns.

The money la a pent as it comes casually, without special plan.
