mental hygiene, together with strict
regulations governing the marriage OF
those mentally UNIT. will in the course
OF time eliminate this the chief cause
Of mental disease.
There are. however. other contributing
causes which lead to disease Of the
mind and which are well under tho con .
trc' Of the individual. Extreme mental
EFFORT for prolonged periods of time
without intervening periods OF rest and
recreation tend to break down the In
teGrity of the mind. Constant fretting
and worrying and extreme discomfort
all tend In the same direction.
Alcohol Is another cause OF derange-
ment OF the mind. For there is what Is
ours In persons who have been constant
and heavy drinkers.
Blood disease IL another potent factor
In producing what Is perhaps the worst
form OF mind disease. High thinking
and clean life will prevent this form
OF insanity.
To remain mentally well, therefore.
lead a normal mental life. Avoid sx-
trcme and prolonged mental effort and
fatigue. Take the normal amount OF
sleep and rest daily. Avoid the over
use of stimulants and narcotics. Thus
the general health OF body and mind
alike will be maintlined and life pro-
longed.

DEATH OF ARTHUR KNAPP.

Word was received in Ely the first
of the week, that Arthur Knapp. who
left here November 20. for Arizona,
had been killed by being run over by
the cars at Gila Bend, Arizona. De-
,als of the accident. which happened
Tuesday morning, have not been re-
ceived. The deceased, who was EN-
ployed at Copper Flat. as locomo-
tive fireman, left here in company
with K. NJ. Krugen. the two having
secured positions in Arizona. The
next heard was a telegram received
Tuesday morning. by A. l.. Haight,
announcing the fatal accident to
Knapp, but giving no further par
ticulars. Mr.. Knapp was we'll known
here, being a member of White Pine
aerie Fraternal Order of Eagles and
of Copper Queen Lodge No. 799,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen. Plans we're made by
members of the two organizations TO
have the funeral here, but later word
was received from a brother in Cali
fornia to have the remains sent there
for burial. As 1t was impossible to
get into communication with Mr..
Krugen, who is accompanying the
body from Gila Bend. George +.
Deckleman, representing the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, will meet the funeral
party at Cobre. today, that the wishes
of the brother may be complied with,
and the journey continued to the
coast.
The deceased, who was an orphan,
has made his home with Mr.. and
Mrs. J. W. Sawyer of Ely, and had
resided here for the past six years.
His untimely death was great shock
to his many friends. and particularly
TO Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer, who had
looked upon him almost as son.
