He called tny attention to the frightful mortality from organic heart disease. He says it is the chief cause of death in America and, in his opinion, the abuse of drugs is largely responsible. Too often a person suffering from a slight neadache or other transient pain will rush to the drug store to buy a tablet or powder of t-ome sort.

SHORTER VACATIONS AND LONGER SCHOOL TERMS While rural school districts in the United States are -aid to be working hard to increase the length of their school year, cities are doing just the opposite. Most of the schools in Uu Ccountry are open less than half the days of the year. It is re-' ported that 310 cities maintain school terms of fewer than 182 4 days. In 259 cities the schools are open more than that, rlf -A iv sr -saw Taxj'aycvs w'no desire an t'll'icicnt unl paintiikinjr administration of the; ifVire of ict attorney of Xorthuin-! )erland county will make no mistake I castinr their ballot for Attorney i KJwanl iker of this citv when thev I to the polls next Tuesday.

Backed by years of experience in he county courts Mr. Raker possesses of the qualifications necessary for the position, of public trust to which ho aspire In his career as a lawyer f. still less than 200 days. Cheyenne, alcne maintained school for more than 200 days in 1920. Pittsburgh had school exactly 200 day's.

The tendency has been to decrease the total number of days. One city dropped from 23 4 days in 1810 to only ISC school days in 1922. Others have been doing similar cutting in their school terms. There doesn't seem to be any good reason for this. Shortening the school terms leaves the schooi equipment idle for long periods, prolongs the number of years necessary to cover a certain amount of teaching ground, and interrupts the children's progress.

To continue schools for 12 months a year, with several short vacations, would add very little to the cost of running the schools. An addition of only one month of school every year wuld accomplish several good ends. It would enable many pupils to finish their elementary course in seven years instead of eight. It is a subject that is coming in for more and more thought and discussion. No one wishes to overwork pupils or teachers, or to deny to the latter the time needed for advanced study and travel.

But those are matters which might comfortably be ranged even.with a system more adequately utilizing the school Mr. 1'aki has won the confidence of and assures the people fo the county all with whom he has had occasion to ja feailess administration in the pros-have any professional dealings and he edition of all crime and criminals. is looked upon as ono of the most cap- able and most successful members ot the Altorney Raker has conducted ar, but fair and honorable cr.n.paifn for the office of district tor iey and through his grentlc.r.ardy cnnvRss for votes his candidacy has pained in strength and popularity throughout the county.

His company has available for the purpose 8,000 acres of land, of which about 5,000 can be used for homes.

Those homes, he says, will be built largely of concrete, "poured" according'to the Edison plan. Many, however, will be of wood. Mr. Ford explains that his company can furnish lumber cheaply from its big forests up state, because in logging it removes, all waste and so avoids destructive forest fires. The houses are not to be all alike, as might be expected from the Ford love of standardization.

There will be great variety of style, shape and size. The lots will be only six to the acre, large enough for small gardens. There will be a tine park and other facilities for wholesome recreation. The plan suggests many similarities to model citie built in England and Germany, but the Detroit manufacturer may be trusted to provide some unusual featurs. The prospect must be a pleasing one to the people for whom the homes are intenoed.ir view of the big housing shortage and high cost el ordirarv homes.

As for Mr. Ford himself, he will hardly lose any money in ilu venture, and he will have a lot of fun with it. The opportunity of building a brand-new city, from the ground up, on wholly "modern lines, complete in every detail, is something thai wo ah. appeal to any man of constructive nature. Washington, I).

C. "was planned in that way, to meet the needs of a groat govern ment. It is something new, and no less admirable, to build citic for the needs of industry. There can be no doubt that thisr practise is on the increase. That it may have an important bearing on the prevalence of heart disease is a reasonable theory.

You must realize that any sort of pain which suddenly disappears on the taking of a drug, must be cen trolled by some powerful action on the delicate organs of the body. Chief of these. io be thus affected, is the human heart. 1 suppose one might rub liniments on his skin from youth to old ae and have nothing worse happen than a thickening and inflammation of the hide. But you cannot continue to take a drug which depresses tlie action of the heart, without elii-mate and permanent injury to tins vital organ.

You have seen a reckless automobile driver go around the corner on two wheels, at the last moment slamming on the brake, fixing che wheels, and tearing half an inch of rubber off the face of the tires. You say to yourself: "That man phoulei be sent to Iail." Isn't it much the same thing to abuse the body, cause it to pain somewhere and then by the reckless use of an anodyne, to put a brake on the heart? If you do this you are as bad as the reckless motor driver. Indeed you are worse. He is wearing out worthless rubber vou are wearing out the machine without which vou cannot live. When you have habitual or peri-odieai pain, consult your doctor.

It it Is a heaelache, perhaps your eyes are out of order. The need of glasses may cause Intense pain in he'ad and shoulders. Bad teeth, bad tonsils, intestinal disturbance or utomach neglect, kill-ney and liver trouble there are many, many causes for pain. The point 1 want to make is this-Find the cause of your trouble end get rid of it by appropriate treatment. Don't depend on eirugs and anodynes.

Get at the root of your misery and remove it. If everybody weuild do this, organic heart disease would speedily decrease. Answers to Health Questions. .1. A.

Civen at Fort Augusta, Nov. 4th, 1 A close cxatniiiatiou of the route, of BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIAL SUNSHINE It is now well known to poultrymen that hens may be mad. to lay more eggs by lighting their pens electrically to, reduce th hours of darkness. It is found now that a plant's "working day' may be lengthened in the same way.

Experiments conducted by the Westinghouse company, in col I laboration with Columbia university, have shown that lioweiv 1 and vegetables can be "forced" through artificial sunlight. They' can be put to sleep by darkness and awakened at will by light Flowers can be made to bloom at any predetermined time. Veg- I etables can be produced when wanted, by supplying the light on dark days, especially in the winter, and can be matured in I less time than nature ordinarily takes for the process. Sunshine is light and heat both. The artificial light con-1 tains little heat, but that is a simple mater the heat is sup-! plied by the usual hothouse methods.

The usual procedure is let the forced plants sleep for an hour after dark, then turn or I "the light for several hours, then let them sleep again until day- light comes. Light of about one-fourth of the sun's intensity used. i 'Mankind will make increasing use of this discovery. And ii I the sun gives out before the human race does, perhaps food I enough can be raised without it. i No doubt human beings respond to light no less than plants.

though the effects are less obvious. The medical profession is only beginning to adapt light of various colors and intensities to the cure of disease. Posterity may use artificial sunlight in the winter to lengthen the day and promote the health of both body and mind. Benjiman Apple, B. F.
