BICYCLE REMEDY FOR ASTHMA.

BICYCLE REMEDY FOR ASTHMA.
DR.. Marcel of London, is strongly of the
opinion that bicycle riding is very benef-
cial in cases of asthma He even goes
further and says that it may act as a
cure. If this opinion should receive prac-
teal notification the already popular ex-
ercise will gain yet another impetus.
DR.. Marcel says: "If asthma is a
form of mountain sickness and if the
distressing effection of high attitudes can
be cured by training for the exercise of
climbing, why should not asthma also
yield TO the training of the respiration
carried out by practicing the respiratory
movements wanted to carry the tidal air
through thhe lungs? OF all means of
trainging repiration think cycling is the
best. When a person first takes to cycl-
ing xercise it will be found, especially on
going uphill, that the breath is wanting,
the heart beats uncomfortably and the
legs tire: but after some training these
discomforts all disappear, nothing will
be thought of hills TO ascend, the heart
has become perfectly comfortable, all
breathlessness has disappeared and the
legs will no longer feel any fatigue. Cy-
cling exercise first of all increases the
depth of breathing. and that without
fatigue as the respiratory movements are
automatic; at the same time it will accus-
tom the rider instinctively to take in at
each respiration the volume of air reqUir-
ed to aerate the blood and to eliminate a
fixed proportion of co., leaving in the
circulation the precise balance of coz
compatible with health. Persons who do
not care for cycling out of doors can take
the same kind of exercise at home by
means of dummy cycle consisting of an
iron wheel driven by pedals, the resist
ance of the wheel being so contrived as
to simulate bicycle riding. A strap car
ried partly round the rim of the wheel
can be frightened at will by the rider, thus
increasing the labor and recalling the eff
fort of riding uphill. My experience of
the results of this treatment is, unfortu-
nately limited only to one person; in this
case it has proved eminently successful.
This person took to bicycle riding about
three years ago for pleasure, and invery
great moderation for the first two years.
He observed last summer that the at
tacks of asthma to which he was sub
ject had become very much fewer The
ughtness and wheeling which occurred
every night have now entirely disap-
peared."

FRUITS OF SANITATION.


DR.. Parks recently published some fig
CURES showing the saving of life that had
been effected in England during the reign
of the present queen through the efforts
of sanitarians. He showed that the NOR
tality from small pox had diminished by
IS per cent. in 1915. as compared with
the mortality in 1S3S-i2. Since 1S71-75 there
had been a decrease of IS per cent in tie
mortality from typhus, and of Co per cent.
from typhoid fever. Since 1S61-e5 theh
mortality from scarlet fever had fallen
81 per cent Diphtheria had prevailed
very extensively in recent years and ow-
ing 10 this greater prevalence the NOR
tally was now very much the same as
it was 50 years ago, despite the benefits
Of the new orrhother apy.

Points Of Modern Hygiene
OF WAKEFULNEss.

It is not proposed to discuss here those
serious cases of obstinate insomnia which
often tax the ingenuity and weary the pa
thence of the most slzillfui specialist. but
merelu to mention some simple measures
by means Of which ordinary wakefulness
may be overcome without the use of
drugs.
Sleep is caused by a shrinking Of the
brain cells so that they are no longer in
communication with each other, and
wake fitness. consequently, results when
these cells are in state Of excitement
and refuse to draw away from each other
This excited condition may result from
disease, such as fever, or it may come
from worry, grief or hard mental work
The main thing to do, therefore, in or
der to induce sleep is to quiet these nerve
cells, an dthe prevention Of wakefulness
is best secured by avoiding mental work
in the evening.
Often, however, a person must work at
night. In that case he should stop some
time before going 20 bed, and if he must
work lateit is better to stay Up a snort

before trying ito sleep. This time may be
passed in any way that will force or
rather entice, the mind away from its pre-
vious occupation. brisk walk or or
short spin on the wheel, exercise with
the dumb bells o rIndian clubs, a cool
bath-things like these will often suffice
for the desired purpose. Sometimes lit
tie snack, such as a bit of cheese and
biscuit, or a glass Of milk, taken while un
dressing. will induce sleep quickly.
If the mind is dwelling presistently on
one object, do not struggle to froce it to
let go its thoughts, for you will probably
thereby make it take more tenacious hold
Try to lead it away by picturing to your
self some mOnotonous, constantly recurr-
ing scene, like the water combing over
the edge of Niagara cliff, swarm of
flies chasing each other in the sunlight or
flock of sheep jumping one after the
other over a log.
Don't try to count unless you would be
like the man who was advised by his
doctor to count unless he fell asleep, and
who did count up to 1852, when he found
it was time to get up.
Deep and regular breathing is an impor-
tant element in the general calming pro-
cess so necessary 10 induce sleep-Youth's

deemed advisable to summon the police.
Upon her arrival at the First Precinct

THE SLATER HOUSE RAIDED.


What appears to have been very
mixed-up affair styled a raid occurred at
The Slater House, at the corner of Sec
ond and Il Streets northwest about $50
O'Clock last night. The proprietor of the
place was rot arrested, but four men who
were standing in the Office of the hotel
were taken into custody and removed to
the Sixth precinct station house There
they were summoned as witnesses and
told TO appear in court this morning.
With this understanding they We're re-
leased 1t is understood that warrant
has been issued for the proprietor of the
hotel charging him with violation of
the excise law in selling liquors on Sun
day.
The circumstances surrounding the al
legged raid are peculiar. A few minutes
before $50 O'Clock call came to No.
station from Special Policeman Lewis at
the patrol box at First and Pennsylvania
Avenue northwest, requesting that sew
eral police be sent to aid in conducting
a raid on the Slater House. In answer
TO the summons Policemen Mansfield,
Mullen, Bergman. Whelan, and Stange,
together with the patrol wagon, started
at once They met Lewis, who conduct
ed them TO the Slater House, informing
them, it is said, that liquor was being
sold there in violation of law. Lewis, 1t
seems, claimed to have purchased beer
at the bar of the hotel, and alleged that
four men in the place at the time had
done likewise.
When the hotel was reached the four
men were found standing in the office. AT
the direction of Lewis they were arrest
ed The other policemen, it is said. saw
no liquor sold. nor did they see anything
about the conduct Of the four men which
would warrant their arrest.
AT the station house the men denied
all knowledge of the purchase or sale of
liquor. 1t was claimed last night that
Policeman Lewis was intoxicated. 1t is
also said that he previously boarded at
the Slater House. He is one of the spec
ial policemen stationed at the street rail-
way crossings and was recently transfer
red from the crossing at Ninth and New
