QUACK DOCTOR TELLS
WHY AND WHEREFORE
"Highbrows" Only Call on Re-
putabIe Physicians

Two middle aged men once met out

the Jewish Chronicle, was celebrated
physician, the other an equally cele-
brated quack. They had been fellow
students In youth and had not met for
many years. After exchanging greet
ings the physician said to the un
orthodox practitioners: 1T seems a
remarkable thing that while my books
are standard ones throughout Europe
people come to you instead of to me
and your income is hundred times
more than my own" Not at all re-
markable,'' was the answer. Just

thousands of people passing. How
many of them would you reckon to be

There is no specific treatment in

Removal of the cause of worry. If pos
sible, increased physical exercise, any

form of recreation. attention to the
digestion, to the removal of the tox-
ins from the system, and to the build

possible way must be undertaken
Drugs. such as bromides, the coal
tar derivatives. etc, should be used as
little as possible, on account of their
effect upon the assimilation, the cir
culation and the blood: the coal tar
preparations are particularly contrain-
dicated on account of their destructive
action on the red corpuscles.
Bromides depress the heart and the
vasomotor system and should be used
with caution.

SLEEP OFTEN WILL
PREVENT HEADACHE
Proper and Timely Rest Is Bet
ter Than Medicine

Sleep. if taken at the right moment.
will prevent an attack of nervous
headache. If the subjects of such head
aches will watch the symptoms of it's
coming they can notice that 1t begins
with a feeling of WEAKNESS or heavi-
ness. This is the time a sleep of an
hour, or even two, as nature guides
will eventually prevent the headache.
If not taken just then it will be too
late, for after the attack is fairly under
way. it is impossible to get sleep until
far into the night.
1t is generally known that sleep is
better for the sick than medicine. But
it is not so we'll known, adds the Fam
ily Doctor, that sleep is a wonderful
preventive of disease-better than
tonic regulators and stimulants

Tor the systemiZation OF charity in
the history OF the world. The vast
wealth OF the oil king, amassed
through the many years of his active
life. Is TO be devoted to charity In
the 5roadest sense.
The plans for the charity are vast
They will take in every field OF HUI
man endeavor, and so sweeping are
they that te benefactions from the
money will continue for years, pos
sibly for centuries.
In order TO devote all OF his time
90 the work planned by his father,
John d. Rockefeller. Jr.. whose bent
has been more toward philanthropy
than toward business, is to retire
from all OF the big corporations,
where. as his fathers son. he has
been active in the past
Standard Oil, synonymous with
Rockefeller, is the first of the big
corporations from which the younger
Rockefeller has severed himself In
order 10 do so. and still preserve the
personnel of the big corporation, the
board of directors was recently re-
duced from 10 to IA.
Then the resignation OF John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr.. was quietly filed and
quietly accepted. Today he and the
men in whom his father places the
greatest trust, are rapndly preparing
to launch the new charity when the
legality OF its existence has received
the stamp of congress.
While none OF those who enjoy the
secrets of the oil king are prepared
TO take the public into their con
fdence at this time and tell just what
Will be done. examination OF the pro
posed charter shows that there Will
be no limitation az to where money
can be spent and how much.
The object shall be 10 promote

civilization OF the people OF the
United states and its territories and
