The proper adequate treatment of disease in its earliest stages is of the greatest importance to the 'person treated. There aresome diseases which we call acute, and which sud- ,denly strike without previous warn- ing, but that is itot 'trueof most of ;the serious illnesses which attack' mankind. Most serious diseases be- gin inamild way, and unless treat: - ted, - ted, " gradually progress to the point 'where they , actually endanger life. The man with a serious heart condi- tion today has been gradually devel- oping this condition over a number of years. Kidney disease in its ad- vanced stage is the result of a con= alittbal; whichhas gone on for years. This means that it is a serious thing to attempt to diagnose and treat your- self because you feel that there is not much wrong with you and you do not steed a doctor, The time when you need a doctor most is the time when le can do the most for .you, andthat is when you are in the early stage of disease. It is a mistake to attempt self -treatment. It may not do actual" Barth, but it postpones proper treat- ment, which in many "cases, will, pre- vent serious disease later.

There was a time in the world's history when coffee was forbidden, smugglersend w"er eas active e as�th e smugglers of liquor in the Uni>ed States of to -day, although, perhaps not on such a large and expensive scale. Some time back in the fif- teen century, says an article in the New York Herald -Tribune, one Gemel Eddin, a Mahommedan mufti., or high priest, was induced, when he fell ill during a journey into Persia, to drink of 'a certain "black draught." He found the 'strange new mixture exceedingly exililirating. Perhaps he was told then the story that persists to ' this day — of leow shepherds were unable to quiet their Socks during a whole night after the animalshad nibbled berries from a strange shrub—and how investig- ation revealed coffee to the world. At any the good mann b e - thought himsef on his• return to Arabia to 'introduce coffee into his monastery, where, it must be admit- ted, there had been some difficulty' in keeping the monks awake through- out their all-night services. As a "devotional antsorporific" coffee more than met the fond expectations of Gemel Eddin. But the poor fellow,' innocently enough, had set up a terrific clamor. More conservative priests saw little virtue in drug-induced wakefulness. They cried out that the Koran's edict against intoxicating beverages, was. being broken. Eventually,when the mosques came to be deserted for the pleasant coffee houses that sprang up. in Constantinople, the .clerics won an edict closing the popular rendezvous and. punishing, 'moreover, with twen- ty-four 'blows any who . were 'caught drinking the fragrant cup in private. In polities coffee's ventures were scarcely more happy than in religion. Reinstated by a G1;and Vizier who saw a . fruitful source of taxes in the tempting beverage, coffeeenjoyed a blameless reputation only a very short time. It was not long before Kuprul Pasha discovered that, coffee houses were breeding political mal- contents, and once more the popular drink parlors were padlocked. ' Perhaps the potion that has made many a vigil and many a masterpiece possible, that has sharpened many a sluggard wit, fomented, too, a resent- ment of .injustice. At any rate, ChaarlesII.,.,in his turn, grew concerned about the free discussion in the renowned coffee houses of London and attempted p'ted _ a similar and just as unsuccessful move against Will's, St. James' Button's, the Rainbow, and the rest of .them. And, indeed, there's no denying the fact that it was out of the doors of the old Cafe Foy in the Palais Royal that a white-faced. young journalist led the determined mobthat spread into• the wildfire of the French revolution. One writer points out that "what- ever may be said about :causes and circumstances, the French revolution was not brought about until coffee as well as philosophy had come to Paris." And, had he known of it, 'doubtless he would have found fur- ther significance in certain events in our own country. It was no other than a coffee house< -the famous Burns Coffee House, which once stood oft the west side of Broadway just north ` of. Bowling Green—that afforded a meeting place on October 31, 1765, for the rebel- lious merohants who adopted resolu- tions to import no more British goods Until the stamp act should be repeal- ed. Moreover, it was in the Green Dragon, most celebrated of Boston's. coffee house taverns, that Paul Re- vere and John Adams, Warren and James Otis, met for those conferences so fraught with consequence in 1776 of the War of Independence. Whatever may or may not have been the political responsibilies of coffee in the past, there is •no need now to fear the captivating cup. Even the nerve -wracked and weak- stomached, the old and the slightly young, may now indulge along with hardier folk, in the pleasant amenity of after-dinner coffee and sleep the easy, unbroken slumber of the un - SPROUT BEST IN ACID WATER. Although Good for Wood It Is Rad foe Grain. Acid soil has long been 'decried as bad farm land for so many years that it has come to be considered by cur- rent thought as no good for anything. It may, however, be as good for growing crops of wood as it is bad for growing crops of grain, accord- ing to results of experiments recently performed by Henry I. Baldwin, of. Berlin, N.H. Mr. Baldwin Sprouted red spruce seeds in water of varying acidity and alkalinity. He found that slightly acid water was better than any ;of the alkaline waters. He got the best results in pure distilled water, whieh is perfectly neutral; but of course dis- tilled water is never found Under nat- ural conditions. Six Steps to Popularity, Before yott start along the road to popularity, you must have six things packed ready to take with you: 1. Unselfishness. 2. Sincere friendliness towards people of all ages. 3, Abi-lity or willingness to adapt oneself to be at ease under various circumstances and with all people. 4. An' unassums ing lnabner. :5. A controlled tongue that refrains from gossip and 'need- less eriticlsm, and speaks fit kindness, 6. Trustworthiness, so that othere know you will keep confidences, and that your word, le as good as your bond.

The famous `"pep" so longe charac- teristic of the people of the United States is . becoming a thing of the past, It appears trona observations reported to the American Medical Association by Dr. 0..W. Dowden, of Louisville,: Ky. Dr. Dowden finds ex- haustion or "lack of Pep"- is a con- stantly increasing complaint among his patients. About one of every five during the last two years have con- sulted him because of exhaustion, and 'had no specific underlying disease. Dr. Dowden principal ave four al g P p causes of this condition: The world war with Its effect on the mental make-up of the people; ,influenza and its persistent after-effects; the quan- tity of bad alcohol drunk by both men: and women, and carbon mon- oxide saturation of the atmosphere as' a result of the increasing use of automobiles. While exhaustion is often attribut- ed to glandular disease, Dr. Dowden thinks this particular type is due to depletion of the individual as a whole. It may be: considered under two headings Chronic infection in. respiratory andbiliary tracts, and mental depression resulting from emotional, financial or business wor- ries. Medical treatment for this sort of exhaustion will not be satisfactory unless the underlying cause is found and corrected. FORD RECEIVES SETBACK. Right of State to Confiscate Rubber Seeds Is Upheld. The Ford, project to establish an enormous robberlantati p on in the State of Para received a severe set- back when the Supreme Court sus- tained the right of the State, of Ama- zonas to confiscate r=ubber seeds in transit through its territory. The State of Amazonas had .con- fiscajed rubber seeds stored in a warehouse at Manoaswhile being transported to the State of Para from" Matto Grosso by the Ford Industrial Company. Representatives of the Ford Com- pany claimed the Amazonas law pro- hibiting exportation of rubber seeds from that state did not apply to seeds originating in other parts of Brazil. While thq Ford Company can still ship seeds to Para, without passing through Amazonas territory, it will be forced to use the upper reaches of the Xingu river, where transpor- ta'ionabie. conditions are very unfavor- ' Aids to Aviators.

Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown The present issue isthe beginning g of the second year of "Hints for Homebodies." The work somewhat resembles broadcasting, in that one never knows just how it is going ac- ross, •Sometimes an editor will write me that he has liked something or other, specially, or that the people in his town are interested in diets, or thatthey like recipes. Various readers haire written to ask me to write about some special difficulty, or for a particular recipe. Others tell me that they like to read about the correct, foods to give their fam- ilies, and another writes to tell me that she . always likes to read the "piece" that I put at the first of the Hints. And soy' it goes: When we know what 'the readers want we try to give it to them to the best of our ability. ,Fortunately no one has asked me anything yet could not answer,. but who knows when the day may come! In the meantime we can just struggle along, blindly, trying to guess at what may prove interesting to our readers which stretch from one coast to the other and as far north as Peace River. Balancing our Budgets The first of the year usually brings a .consideration of our financial af- fairs, and most of us firmly resolve to spend less and save more, but Whether or not we live up toour res- olutions remains to be seen. One of the chief trouble with most of us is., that we spread our money in too many directions and do not concen- trate. It mightgbe a sound idea a just t o stop and consider what are our ,ehicf ambitions, and set about attaining them. Fortunately people . have dif- ferent ideas about what they want. Some people's chief ambition is to have a big car, others want a nice home, or it may be a specially fine radio,others want amusement or tra- 1 vel, some desire beautiful clothes.. Whatever our ambition may be- con- centrate on it, and do not try to get everything at once. t If your ambition is a fine car, all t right concentrate on it, and when you get it, think that you ` have realized your ambition and be satisfied. Re-: member always that you have, or fire working to have, the thing you want most, and do not be discontented be- cause .the Jones' radio i$ better than yours. They may be able to get Mars —but what of it! Likely they listen most of the time to the same two stations you do with your old set, anyhow. Try to concentrate on the, thing you want most and be satisfied in realizing it ane;, not discontented because there are other things you may want, Concentration accomp- lishes :a great deal. Look at what concentration does' for the child at Christmas time who .only wants one thing. Chances are 11 gets it. Santa Claus may not bring you your heart's desire, but you are apt to get it. if you do not want the Earth. Many of our ambitions are attained without us actually realizing it. Coughs Theseason of coughs and colds has arrived. When 'one has a cold and coughs frequently, it is very distress- ing and difficult to get relief. Steam from a boiling kettle will do more to relieve a cough than any cough medi- cine. Some method of boiling a ket-' tie in the same room as the patient place be devised. If you have el- ectricity the easiesk, way is to the boiling kettle on a flat toaster or grill. Coughs always seem worse at night, and in extreme cases it may be necessary to let the kettle boil gen- tly all night. Steam will relieve the coughing and; prevent many wakeful lours.. Use it at intervals during the lay if necessary, Hanging,Dut the Clothes One of the most disagreeable tasks of winter, is hanging out the clothes in frosty winter. Have you ever tried filling up the clothes -horse with wet clothes and then putting it out on the veranda. Some days the clothes will dry sufficiently for dampening,, others they will require drying in the house. In any case they will freeze, and con- sequently bleach and will lose that close objectionable smell of clothes that have been dried in the house. This method saves temper and the clothes from the bad effecfs of freeze, ng. Potato Omelet 1 cup `smashed potatoes, 4 eggs, 4 tablespoons milk, salt and pepper to este. Beat the eggs separately.
