This job can now be turned over to an extra-safe, easy-to-use miticide called Kelthane. Last year, many orchards had full-season control with only one application of Kelthane. An ideal time to clean out a mite potential is in the first cover spray. To clean out the tops of trees where spray ris may not give good coverage, a Kelthane 3 percent dust is effective. YouH like the safety and long-residual action of Kelthane . . . plus its ability to control all species of mites which attack pears with a minimum number of annlications.

The answer is be cause the poor child is living with a defec tive heart which doesn't aerate his blood adequ ately. Ai the blood is sent through the lungs, the Dr. Alvarei ntmogwoui, or red coloring matter, should get rid of carbon dioxide, which comes from the tissues, and it should pick up the life- giving oxygen which, then, is sent out to every cell in the body. When the blood is poor ly aerated, the child's lips and finger nails will be bluish, and when the blood is well aerated, the skin will have a normal pink color. Today, every mother with a blue baby should take the child to one of the good heart experts in the state. Usually it will be found that the child's heart is poorly made in one -of several ways. As a result, both aerated and non- aerated bloods are being pumped together out into the tissues. Today, most of these children are being operated on and being given back their health. , . - First, an expert with special tests finds out what particular type of heart -defect the child has, and then he will consult with an expert in. heart sur gery to see what should and can be done. These days, many' mothers write to say that a small child, or perhaps an adult in the family has been found to have a loud heart murmur, indicate ing a congenital defect, and the question is, should the per son go immediately for a heart oDeration. Usually. I cannot give any suggestion be cause the mother who writes forgets to tell me the most important thing whether or not the child or adult is ill or handicapped in any way. I have seen persons of 70 with a loud heart murmur who said .it had never bother ed them. If I had an active grandchild, perhaps playing good basket-ball, and someone found a heart murmur in him I would take him to a heart specialist, and if the doctor I could not get excited about Ckeotiadt for Agrkultwrt RQnr.l S.C3AAS COMPANY msimeioN sovut, pwuoornu s, H.

Lack of Hydrochloric Acid In Stomach Many a person past middle age writes saying that some doctor has greatly 'alarmed him by finding a lack of hydrochloric acid in his stom ach. The man is now taking a pill to make acid a pill which he is supposed to take for the rest of his days. If, today, I were to have my stomach pumped, and if no acid were found, and if my yearly x-ray study of my stomach showed nothing wrong, I would be satisfied. I would feel no alarm, and I would take, neither pills nor dilute acid. Some 45 years ago, when I began work as a stomach specialist, I used to give these people without hydrochloric acid in their stomach some dilute acid in liquid form with meals, and later, when the pills came, I tried them, but I quit treating all but a very few of the patients without acid, because usually the per son had no indigestion or diar rhea that I could blame on the lack of acid. ' , Only very rarely would the acid "come back when the per son was treated with liver ex tract vitamines, or acid. The remarkable fact is that thou sands of persons with no acid in their stomach have the digestion of an ostrich. Many years ago, Dr. Frances Vanzant, working with me at Mayo's, went over records of gastric juice studies made in the cases of over 5,000 per sons who had no sign of any serious disease in their stom ach and bowel. -We found that the incidence of achlorhydria Gack of hydrochloric acid) in creases steadily with age from practically zero in early childhood to perhaps 25 per cent at age 60. As a man grows old. he can lose the acid in his stomach much as he loses the hair on his head. A young person who' has absolutely no acid in his stom ach should have his blood looked at occasionally for signs of primary anemia and after the age of 40, he should have his stomach' x - rayed every year to rule out cancer. Normal Blood Pressure People want to know what normal blood pressure is. It varies in the two sexes and at different ages. Back around 1918 and 1919, I studied the blood pressures of some 15,000 freshmen examined at the Uni versity of California. I. found that ,the pressures were gen erally 5 to 10 points lower in women than in men. Systolic pressure (top of the wave) in these young people was some where between 95 and 130 mm. If it was over 130, 1 fear ed that the person would later develop high blood pressure. ' . Even in middle life, the normal person has a blood pressure under 130 or 140 sys tolic. If it is over that, I fear that in later life he, or she will have a high blood pres sure. A few lucky persons have a systolic blood pressure of 130 or 140 mm. when they are 70 or 80..
