Insanity in Navy
Blamed on Bad Habits

Insanity among enlisted men in the
navy occurs large among those who had
irregular habits before enlistment and
cannot be regarded as entirely normal
This Is the conclusion of Passed Assist

conducting an investigation into the
subject.
"Desertion. drunkenness and fraudu-
lent enlistment are the most common
offenses OF these insane men," says DR..
Butts. 1.-THE hobo or tramp prior to
enlistment will be the deserter or alb
sentee after enlistment. The chronic
alcoholic before enlistment will sooner
or later be found drunk on duty or me-

IN building your own home, 1t pays
to look after the building Of the eel
lar. After the excavation is made,
study out for yourself the peculiari-
ties of soil, location and exposure. II
the soil Is inclined to dampness. have
course Of 3-inch tile laid all around
the bottom, outside of the wall. with
an outlet at sufficient distance. The
outlet may be simply sink-hole filled
with stone; but It must be lower than
the cellar bottom, and give a good op-
portunity for any water that may &C.
cumulate to get away easily. II the
ground IL very damp. have another
course of tile about two feet above or
halfway towards the surface.
The use Of cement mortar is a great
preventive against dampness in the
cellar. and the way the cellar floor Is
made has great deal to do with II.
You can make cement bottom that
is porous, or you can make 1t water
tight, Just by the difference in the way
the materials are mixed. It some
times Is desirable to have the back
end Of the cellar dry. and the front
part somewhat moist for fruit and
vegetables: but this depends upon
what use you wish to make Of the
cellar.
Great changes have come in build.
ing small houses within a few years.
Until recently the idea Of hot and cold
water and q bathroom in house Of
this size was almost unheard Of. In
order to enjoy what are ordinarily
called modern conveniences." It was
necessary to occupy large house:
but bathrooms. hot water in the kitch-
en- and gas and electric lighting are
growing more common all the time.
and they are being installed in small.
er houses every year. Because It is
necessary or because q person prefers
q small house. II 10 no longer neces-
sary that they should do without the
comforts Of civilization. With the in
crease of small houses fitted with
such luxuries, the health Of the peo-
pie has improved.
II 10 generally understood that
cleanliness is q good thing for more
reasons than one. Cleanliness, as
long ago 40 Bible times. was recog-
nized 40 one Of the leading virtues:
but the full benefits were not appre-
ciated until the bacteriologists got to
