Sno-Caf Climbs Two Mountains in East A four-pontoon Tucker Sno Cat recently conquered Pico peak in Vermont and Washing ton mountain in New Hamp shire, Tucker Sno-Cat corpora tion officials here have been in formed. It was the first machine to ac somplish the Pico ascent under its own power. The Cat climbed each moun tain twice with Guy W. An drews, Plymouth, N.H., driving on all occasions. "A descending skier's eyes bulged with amazement upon sight of the vehicle near the summit," the Rutland, Vt, Her ald reported concerning the Pico climb. In 1827, the Mauch Chunk railroad, extending nine miles from the coal mines in northeast ern Pennsylvania to the Lehigh river, was the longest and most important railroad operating in this country. mm I -DEVON 4-DOOR SEDAN UP TO 35 MIUS PER OALION LOW INITIAL COS!

Brady NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY One who has nutritional defi ciency may get enough to eat and get the very finest kind of lood, from your point ol view, stupid. An' other term for nutritional de ficiency is mal nutrition. This doesn't imply that the victim has been de prived of good food. There are at least as many cases of mainuU'i 1 1 o n or nutritional deficiency among the well-to-do as among the poor. It is time to get this fact clear in mind. Malnutrition is not due to deprivation or star vation, except in rare instances. Even the old timers in the profession now know that cer tain diseases are due to nutri tional deficiency; especially scurvy, due to vitamin C defic iency; beri beri, due to vitamin B deficiency; pellagra, due to niacin (nicotinic acid) deficiency together with deficiencies of other B-complex components; and rickets due to calcium, phos phorus and vitamin D defic iency. Some of the old timers have learned in the past ten years that some minor complaints in everyday practice are due to nu tritional deficiency space here will not permit mention of these less striking manifestations of nutritional deficiency or malnu trition. It is my belief that nutritional deficiency, malnutrition is an important factor, perhaps the chief cause of C-V-D cardiovas sular degeneration. Cardiovascular degeneration is the gradual wearing out of heart (cardia) and arteries (vas cula, small vessel). When the cells of the heart muscle wear out or are destroyed they are re placed by new and functionally active cells when we are well ! nourished. If we are not well i nourished the damaged or dead 1 cells are not replaced by healthy young calls, but by inactive, ' inert scar tissue fibrous, fatty or calcareous deposits. So, in brief, arteriosclerosis and car diac insufficiency, myocardial degeneration, heart weakness develop. It is my belief that at least premature C-V-D comes about largely in consequence of pro- AND WEAK HEART longed moderate deficiencies through many years of three vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin and D, and three minerals, cal cium. phosDhorus and iodine, Another name for C-V-D is senility, old age, or premature old age. All this is merely my belief. You may take it or leave it. If you take it, send me a stamped self-addressed envelope and ask in writing (do not use a clipping, please) for the pamph let Young Folks and Old Folks which tells you how to correct the deficiencies mentioned. It's just essential food, you must try to realize, not medicine. So it can't do you any harm to try it for a few months by the same token it wont do a bit ot gooa to trv it for less than three months. It takes that long to grow new cells.

Oregon Higher Education System With spring now well ad vanced, clearer skies should per mit more frequent views of the starry skies. Let us first locate the planets, those other worlds which encircle the sun as does our earth, Mercury, the little messenger of the gods, is still above the hor izon for a little while after sun set but is now too near the sun for easy observation. It was a prominent object in the western twilight during the last half of April, settling north of west. Planets Gorgeous For early risers, the finest of the planets, Venus and Jupiter, are gorgeous an hour before sun rise. Venus has just about clear ed the horizon almost due east, while the less brilliant Jupiter is somewhat higher nearly in the southeast. For evening star gazing, let us observe at 9 p.m. standard time (10 p.m. DST). At this hour ruddy Mars, still very bright but having lost some of its luster of six weeks ago when nearest the earth, is high in the sky and almost due south. It is the brightest of four brilliants which trace an almost straight line on the heavens. Immediately west of Mars, yellow Saturn glows without twinkling. West of Sat urn, the bright star Regulus sparkles at the end of the han dle of the Sickle, a configura tion mostly of dim stars with the open side of the blade toward the west. The fourth object in the celestial line is Spica, at a considerable distance east of Mars. Also in the line are Nep tune, between Mars and Spica, and Uranus near the horizon in the West northwest, but they are telescopic objects. This line traces the ecliptic, the apparent pathway of the sun among tne stars. Arcturus High In the eastern half of the sky we find orange Arcturus very high and somewhat southeast of the zenith. Low in the north east Deneb scintillates at the head of the Northern Cross. A little higher and brighter and east of northeast, brilliant Vcgo flashes its blue-white light. Almost on the horizon and about due west, red Bctelgeuse is the last conspicuous star ot Orion in sight. The others have all sunk into the great river Oceanus of classical mythology. In the west southwest flashing Sirius of the Big Dog has just touched the horizon. Higher in about the same direction Pro cyon of the Little Dog is easily Yes, There's No Finer!
