Effect OF Noise on Nerves.

No machine exists without friction

Of noise. The noise that We hear and
do not appreciate becomes a part OF our
sub-consciousness. That which we do
appreciate tires, and II annoying enough
In time Will cause more serious results.
a certain amount Of violent noise can be
endured in connection with ones daily
work but at night the, tired nerves must
recuperate. This opportunity in sleep
ing hours must not be denied if health
Of mind and body be maintained. Some
people whose nerves are subjected to
undue wear and tear, resort to strong
drink. This stimulates them for a time,
but 1t really does more hurt than good,
for 1t wears out the tired nerve faster
than ever At night morphine, cocaine,
sulphonal tr!onal, bromides and other
sleeping medicines are taken. Even alb

Is n thousand fold worse when the night

these drugs taken by the parents Is pref

There are three ways, In New York
State at least. OF proceeding against the
producers OF unusual and outrageous
noises. The ordinances Of the various
cities contain provisions, moro or less
stringent, agaist noises dangerous to
the health Of the community In cases
which arc not specified by the ordi-
nances the boards Of health usually
have the power to proceed against COM
mon law nuisances, which include ear
splitting sounds. And, lastly the penal
code offers means to prosecute makers
Of noise when such noise affects a large
number Of people and thus becomes
general nuisance. BY this last method
