long ago and explained In careful detail just why
the college athlete loses his excellent physical con-
dition after years while his less active companions
are fairly sound and healthy at middle age.
Dr. Brooks examined twelve famous athletes among
is made up chiefly of college graduates Only one
of this twelve could be rated high physically, that is
was found be in anywhere good physical con-
dion as those college of the average age of the
twelve who had not figured in athletics And this
athlete of dozen who did rate well physically as
non-athletic men, died of diabetes in his
early thirtes
Dr. Brooks interviewed other distinguished medical
men and learned that they had found exactly the
same rule that his own observances by no means
exception, but the rule.
1.-THE tmguished college athlete" says DR.. Brooks,
"after years of business life is physically
below the average college man in his physical pos
sibies and in the measure of his resistance against
disease He may fall below the level of the
entirely nonathletc The defects have observed
are chiefly confined to LESSONS disturbances of the
heart and other crculatory organs to adposity or
to joint disease"
The explanation of this is simple enough. The
athlete does not, and cannot IL he must earn his
suit that his we'll being demands the exercise that
he cannot take and deterioration of certain muscles
and organs of circulation begins
Under modern business conditions it Is manfesty
impossible for a to continue his exercise, his
sports, his rowing running jumping or vaulting
football exercises. Time will not permit. The

for the muscles that give than the normal wort
When the demand is not filled these muscles bayn
to fall back begin to become more and more useas
and unhealthy.
The business cannot maintain the highgearaa
tissue without hign-3eared training and exercise and
the business man cannot exercise. Under these iii,
cumstances the degeneration must and does occu,

There are great advantages in being one Of tina

Physical training" insists DR.. Brooks must take
place along slower and more general and more normal
lines, it must be designed toward the evolution Of
the strong proportonately capable human body not
to the production of human Greyhound buffalo We
must learn to in college athletics the greatest
possible benefits for the many without the great de-
fects for the few. In athletics in education the
college should equip and prepare for the most eff.
cient life, and strive for immediate scholastic or
athletic records"

be remembered that the mouth is always
septic and cannot be perfectly sterilized by
the use of any antiseptic whatever.
But because the mouth is swarming with
bacteria it does not follow that there is dan,
ger, for there are bacteria and bacteria. Not
all is harmful; IL fact, the greater share is
by no means harmful. To refrain from brush,
ing the teeth because there are bacteria in
the mouth would be as foolish as to refrain
from washing because there are germs in
the water.
Care should be taken to keep the mouth
clean. A quantity of bacteria in the mouth
does not mean an unclean mouth. The fac
that one can never hope for an entirely anti
septic mouth does not mean that one shoul
not keep the mouth as clean as possible
all times. And without the toothbrush tn
mouth cannot be kept clean.
BY taking care of the toothbrush there
little, If any, danger that any germs on thC
br1stles will harm you. Just because bristl'
of the brush may penetrate the lining Of thu
mouth 1t does not follow that you will b;
hopelessly inoculated with germs. But there
are always number of good rules to follow
with regard to the care of the toothbrush.
rlTst, all toothDruShes would be practically
safe If boiled five minutes before and after
use.
Second, a new toothbrush can be used
every day; penny brushes being made fol-
this purpose, which serve quite satisfactorily.
Third, those wishing to use a toothbrush
quite while can rinse the brush in one pei
cent creosote solution or allow it to stand bs
tween use in ten per cent formalin.
healthy mucous membrane is the foun'
dation Of a successful hygiene of the mouth,
and If the normal secretions of the mouth
find the tissues in a healthy state these Sc
cretions have the power of overcoming the
poison germs
1t is both useless and dangerous to use
strong antiseptics as a mouth wash Among
the things that medical experts have de,
clared should not be used extensively for
mouth washes are alum, formaldehyde, iron
salts, salicylic acid and above all. no chic

What Insanity
Is Costing Us

T has been computed that it costs us
more to care for our insane each year
than the annual expense of the Exec
utiye, Legislative and Federal departments
of our government.
Thirty-two millions of dollars is the actual
cost of caring for the insane in our various
public institutions in the United States 1t
does not cost quite as much as that each year
to carry on the construction of the Panama
Canal, and yet this $4,000, 600 is only small
part of the actual cost of our insane. The
total cost has been estimated at $l640OOOOO.
The manner in which this astonishing
amount is calculated is on the worth of each
adult between the ages OF eighteen and forty
FIVE. Long ago it was carefully ascertained
that the average value to the community of
the normal adult between the ages Of eight
cen and forty.1ve was 500 per year.
Counting the number Of people who have
been withdrawn from the community because
of insanity, people of the seven hundred dol
lar per snnum value, the loss is $l32 900 600.
This. with the actual cost of caring for the
insane, brings the total up to the Sl64,000 600
mark
The first cost means per capita cost OF
about thirty-three and one-third cents for us,
or that everyone in this country, If the cost
were evenly divided, would have to pay thir-
tythree and one-third cents each year for
the care of the insane. The total cost of this
is more than the entire value of the wheat
corn tobacco and dairy and beef products
exported each year from this country.

TINE introduction of machinery into the realm of
labor, which is not very long ago, after ALL
is beginning to show its effects in many ways
which had not been considered. One of these is the
general result of the roar of machinery. Employers
of labor are beginning to find that there is better
output of in those parts of the factories where
the noise machinery is not deafening. One German
manufacturer, perhaps thinking of his employees as
we'll as his pocket, cased much of the machn-
cry as was possible in soundproof and without
paving any more wages found that the output of his
factory increased per cent the next year. and
that his employees better Off

Why a HEN Cannot
Lay THOUSAND EGGS

these years. But they do not lay any more
eggs than the hen in the poultry breeders
yards who produces all her eggs within
year and half. Consequently, the domestic
hen of the poultry fancier is dead at two
years. or thirteen years ahead of her time, as
far as the reproduction of her kind is con.
cerned.
Because the wild jungle fowl of India lives
fifteen years and lays eggs every year. the
belief long prevailed that these fowl laid from
a thousand to fourteen hundred eggs during
lifetime. Later it was learned, however, that
the hen in its wild state lays its clutch" or
nestful of a dozen or about that number of
eggs every season, and no more.
Il these same wild fowl were put In the
yard and their eggs taken from them every
day, they would continue to lay right along,
instead OF dozen or so year at the hatch
ing season, until their supply was exhausted,
and that would be the end of it. They might
live fifteen or twenty years-there would be
no more eggs. Until man can induce Nature
to provide the hen with a thousand germ
plasms instead of with less than two hun
dred he cannot make the hen lay more than
the two hundred eggs. Thus far he has sue
ceeded only in making the poor, over-worked
hen deliver her fifteen years supply of eggs

Perhaps the most firing part of work-certainly of
monotonous works the need of constant attention.
The varied the work the easier it is to give
attention to the different kinds of things to be done,
and hence work that is varied though it be hard, is
less fatguing than work which is monotonous though
it be easy. There is less mental effort needed to
centrate the attention upon the thing in hand.
Noise is detrimental because it brings in an ele-

Why the College
ATHLETE Makes
a SICKLY
Business MAN

17HB college athlete, meaning the young man who
was a leader in college at rowing, track events
football does not develop into as healthy
rugged a business the college youth who did
not go in for athletics find place the Varsity
crew, eleven track team.
This will be denied, it has been denied right
along by trainers and athletes in general, but the
medical experts who have had occasion TO judge
honestly. the who have studied these college
athletes ten or fifteen years after they left college
and went into business, agree that this is the truth
Physical examinations of a group of college men
who were graduated at about the same time show
hat the young men who did not figure in college
athletics in far better health dozen years later
than their companions in the college who won great
honors through the skill of their muscles.
At first all this sounds improbable, but the facts
remain and the explanation is logical that there
seems little doubt of it. One of the best authorities.

the New York University, took this stand in an adj
dress before the New York Medico-Surgcal Society

Chasing All the MICROBES
Out of Your TOOTHBRUSH

X TOT long ago quite a hue and cry was
nj raised in England over the claim of a
scientist that every bristle in every
toothbrush that has been used a couple of
days is alive with bacteria. The scientist
went on to explain that by means of num-
Der of rigid bacteriologic tests he had found
that the average toothbrush (meaning every
used brush he had tested) contained many
germs.
When these germs were placed in proper
medium, luxuriant growth of bacteria was
noted within twenty-four hours. Then arose
the question among few, rs not the tooth
brush more of menace than an aid to mouth
sanitation?"
1t might seem that it is, were 1t not for
the fact that other scientists have come
forth to remind the public that every mouth
swarms with bacteria. This does not mean
that the bacilli are of the deadly or dam
gerous variety. Nor does the claim that the
bacili found in the toothbrush are of the
deadly variety
There is no mouth, however healthy, 1t is
said, but what contains bacilli in infinite va
riety, and the germs found in the brushes are
merely transferred in the brushing from
mouth to brush There should be no scare
over this, according to the experts. 1t should
