Snore Cycles M a r k L ife
o f the A v e ra g e Person
It has been established that there
are snore cycles in the life of the
average person, w rites M argaret
M cEachern in Hygeia, the H ealth
Magazine.
Infants snore commonly. Between
the ages of ten and thirty years,
snoring is rare. But after thirty it
increases. This m ay be because at
this age period, people become a
little careless about their physical
well being. And unless the physical
condition which is causing the snor
ing is corrected, it will increase
with the passing of each ten years.
G enerally, snoring indicates dis
turbances in the breathing ap p ara
tus, especially an obstruction in the
nose th a t prevents the individual
from sleeping with his mouth
closed. The obstruction m ay be a
result of polypi, tum or growths, en
larged turbinates, bony deform ities,
sinus infection or a deviated septum
which encroaches on the air space
of one nostril.
Strange but true, certain foods
m ay cause a person to snore. Many
men and women are sensitive to c e r
tain proteins. If they eat tom atoes,
for instance, the mucous m em branes
of the nose have a tendency to ac
cum ulate secretions. Chronic in-
flam m atior of the nasal linings also
m ay cause an enlargem ent of the
tissues sufficient to obstruct the
nose.
In children, snoring commonly is
an indication of enlarged adenoids.
According to conservative esti
m ates, one out of every eight per
sons snores m ore or less regularly.
No doubt every person snores occa
sionally, but the one out of eight is
the person to look out for.
A ra b s F irs t to Respect
the V a lu e o f G ib ra lta r
Even in the days when m ilitary
science w as in its infancy the rock
of G ibraltar, rising sheer 1,400 feet,
appealed to the im agination of the
ancients, who called it, together
with its companion, Gebel Musa,
on the African coast, the P illars of
Hercules. In all other respects they
left the solitary giant alone to his
m editations, according to a w riter
in the Los Angeles Times.
The A rabs w ere the first to rec
ognize the rock’s strategic value.
As Moors they crossed the stra it in
711, christening it Gebel-el-Tarik, or
the m ountain of Tarik, their leader’s
nam e. They constructed a castle
and eventually conquered the whole
peninsula.
Nine hundred years later the last
Moor was expelled from Spain and
he left it w here the original one had
landed, in the bay of G ibraltar.
On the decline of the Spanish em
pire the rock passed into British
hands.
Napoleon tried to take it when he
was building his em pire but failed.
Thus was created the phrase, “ as
strong as the rock of G ibraltar.”
Snake Lives on Eggs
The egg-eating snake of South
Africa is a harm less reptile and
lives alm ost exclusively on eggs. It
is pale brown in color with three
rows of dark er blotches. In describ
ing the food habits of this species,
scientifically known as Dasypeltis
scabra, Raymond D itm ars, author
ity on reptiles, says: “ C haracter
ized by the presence of only a few
teeth in the re a r p a rt of the jaw
bones the food of the species is re
stricted alm ost entirely to eggs. To
aid the snake in cutting through the
shell is an ingenious development
in the throat. There a re knife-like
points extending into the esophagus
th at cuts the egg as it passes into
the throat»” This snake can sw al
low an egg as large as a hen’s even
though its body is about the diam
eter of a person’s finger. It grows
to be a yard long. After the egg
has been swallowed the shell is
crushed and expelled from the
mouth. T hree eggs m ake a big m eal
and after th at the egg-eater is likely
to fall asleep for three weeks.
"L eft” Has Many Meanings
The word “ left” has m any ad
verse m eanings. A left-handed toast
is one drunk to the ill fortune of an
enem y, a left-handed m arriage is
one contracted with an inferior, a
left-handed complim ent is not com
plim entary and a left-handed oath
is not intended to be binding. Once
omens seen over the left shoulder
w ere considered unlucky, says Col
lier’s Weekly, and actors, when
playing villains, had to enter on the
left or the sinister side of the stage.
The Ten-Gallon Hat
According to legend, the 10-gallon
hat was nam ed because it was used
as a w ater bucket and also to carry
food. And at night, the cowboy even
rested his weary head on his “ 10-
gallon pillow.”
Although all the
“ gallon” hats were pretty much
the sam e size, they were called not
only 10-gallon, but also one, two and
five gallon hats, varying with the
im agination of the W estern story
w riter.

From The Pacific D airy Review.
W herever dairym en m eet they us

But th e producers and d istrib u
