SUNLIGHT IN CITIES.

That h open air in some places

the crude methods employed by
cnemlsts. microscopes, and bacterto-
iog1sts N their examinations Of air
have not shown IN what lies the DIFF
ference. That narrow, dark streets.

OF the quality Of their badness proof
In recent years the students of
Faolum and ra~dio-activity nave offer
60 some suggestions of value. Nov
even more valuable information comes
from studies Of the qualities Of light.
bFockman Of Regina, Sask. Canada,
tens US that the principal harmful eff
tece or smoke and dust is in filtertng
out the ultraviolet and violet rays
from sunlight. The long rays at the
other end Of the spectrum contribute
alrectly to h archaeological action of
hight They kill by drying and In some
measure by heat. The short rays
bacteria by direct action.
Inc rays that are most effective are
the 2so MN. rays. In the desert at
Assuan the 290 rays reach the earth In
1a1r quantity. In Washington. D. c.,
on a sunshiny day the shortest rays to
reach the earth are the 330s; on a
cloudy day, the 370s; on an exceeding
~ cloudy, hazy day, the 430s.
The investigation indicates that es-
peclaily smoke, even In relatively thin
layers, effects a selectlve Absorption in
such a way as to impoverish the light

arly In ultraviolet and violet rays"
When the u looks like yellowish

such light as there is Is not capable OF
destroying bacterial life.
The smoke which gathers over great
cities In thick layers is impervious to
short waved light and allows only a
supdued, glaucous light to reach the
ground. The light is sometimes re-
ouced to 3 Of per cent Of the normal
IN london it has been possible for a
long time to notice a relation between
sunless days and outbreaks OF In
lluenza, common, pneumonia, and even
such diseases as diphtheria, scarlet
tever, and measles. Sanitarians have
wondered why his was. At times they
nave denied the accuracy of the
statistics.
The present explanation is that on
cloudy, foggy and smoky days sun
hight has not the purifying action pos
sessed on clear days; that the air of
mountain tops and Of clear expanses in
the. country is helpful because none Of
the short rays are filtered out OF the
sunlight.
Brockman advocates measures
against smoke and dust in the air. He
also advocates wide, broad streets,
houses with fewer stories, wide court
yards, and treeless streets. He would
have strips of lawn and flower beds

No Criticism of German People.
From the ST. Louis Rennhlic

FROM INC Sl. LOUIS Republic.
The criticism of Germany's present no.
sition which Is on the lips of America to-
day Is not born Of any unfriendly attitude
toward the German people. Too much Of
the best blood Of Germany has entered
into the veins of the new world for that,
America recognizes how much Germany
owes to the German army Of 1870. 1t APP
who has stood at the head Of the German
people for a quarter century. It has not
missed the significance Of German unity
from what small differences between Aus
trials demands and Servia's concessions
the present awful tempest arose. America
t!nent into @var could not have taken place
If the machinery of the German govern
ment had permitted the peace-loving spirit
of the great German commonalty to
speak. In this day of government Of the
people. by the people. for he people. 1t
mourns sincerely at the sight Of a great
nation plunged into war by the fiat Of a
single mistaken ruler.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

Arterto-sclerosts ear hardening OF
che arteries. When water drops day
by day on a stone a hole Is worn there
In. Arteries overstretched day BY day
suffer a loss in their elastic fibers; but,
instead OF showing holes whore the
worn-out fibers were. there Is a COM
pensatory oyergrowth OF white inelastic
dbers. h artertal wall. instead OF
thinning, thickens, and the blood pass
age Is narrowed. This process requires
years.
The blood pressure is the way Of
measuring its progress. 1t is the process
OF growing old. In fact, one way OF
putting 1t is to say that the man Of SO
has 8~0-year-o;d arteries.
In hardening Of the arteries the pres
sure may reach 300. Two hundred Is
not infreQuent. When this gross pres
SURE Is analysed it is found that the
diastolic pressure Is low and the pulse
pressure is high.
Hardening Of the arteries cannot be
cured. The condition is there. 1t has
been earned. The man has had his
fling. and he must pay the fiddler. But
that does not mean that he should lay
down n quit. 1t is better to throw
out q rear guard and fight to protect
the retreat than not to fight at all.
Why allow a defeat to degenerate into
q rout
A man with arterio-sclerosis should
Nh>A ~
He can regulate himself so that he can
live q long life and a comfortable one.
By temperance in drinking, eating,
working, n worrying he may avoid
the rocks which his arterio-sclerosis
has thrown into his paths.
BY watching his pressure he can
foresee and forfend some OF those
rocks. For instance. If he Is having
vertigo (dtzziness) and an examination
shows a considerable rise In his pres
sure he should guard against apoplexy
by starving and purging. Or, finding
that his pressure has risen suddenly
and sharply, he should have his urine
examined for albumin, since Bright's
disease is even more threatening than
apoplexy.
Also he should remember that a heart
working against a high pressure is I'M
der extra strain, and, knowing this, he
should keep track Of the pulse pressure
to know the work his heart is doing and
how we'll it Is holding up under 1t.
Nor are these suggestions formidable
q few weeks Of trial to adjust ones life
to a basis Of temperance and then little
thought or attention need be given 1t.
The best opinion is that, under ordin-
airy circumstances, 1t is not advisable
to attempt to lower blood pressure.
Taught says:
ut Is always a bad rule to promis-
cuously institute measures to reduce
blood pressure. Blood pressure reduc-
ton should only be attempted for a
good reason, based upon a careful
study of the case"
Leave the pressure where 1t Is, bN~
so live that 1t will not go higher.

BELCHING.

Belching is a sign Of hysteria, neur-
hsthenla, or some other kind OF a
Jimmy. Furthermore, it is a habit, and
a bad one. 1t belongs in the class with
stammer1ng, in that one earns how to
do wrong When doing right is easier.
IL Is true a little gas may form from
decomposins food in the stomach, but
the quantity will be small. A little gas
may find its way from the intestines
INTO the stomach, but the gas inflated
areas of the intestines are some inches
away, n the direction of flow is away
from the stomach.
Practically all the gas belched is first
swallowed as gas. We swallow some air
when we eat hastily. We swallow gas
with carbonated water, when we chew
UP, in many different ways. The pro-
fuse belchers, however, deliberately
swallow air and then quickly belch it
up.
If you will watch the Adams apple Of
a person drinking water you will no
tlce a certain characteristic swallowing
motion. Now notice the Adams apple
of a belcher in action, and you will see
that he first swallows the air and then
belches it. Physicians demonstrate it
more plaininly by watching the Adams
apple with X-rays.
How Is the habit acquired? A person
overeats. In his distended stomach
there is a good deal of air. He belches
and gets relief. Recollection of this re-
mains with him in his subconscious
ach is too tight. He can belch no gas
to get relief. He swallows air and
then belches it. Before he knows it
he has acquired the habit.
N~eurotics, Inconsistencies n hys-
terics are apt to get this habit, just
as they are prone to get the whisky
habit, or the morphine habit. or to-
bacco habit.
OF course, back of the habit lies
some error. 1t may be o~vereating, rapid
eating, irregular eating, or Indigestion,
slow digestion, dilation of the stomach,
pr mild neuralgia of the stomach.
The habit has been acquired in an
effort to find relief from some d1scom-
Tort. When such discomfort shows it.
self in a sensible person. he changes
whatever is wrong. When it shows it
self in a neurotic, he leaves the cause
~nndisturbed, but takes to belching, just
as another neurotic who feels off a
whisky.
Does any harm result? Yes; often
The belching of air siphons bile into
The stomach. Biles does not belong
there. Bile persistently IN the stomach
aisturbs the digestion. The longer the
belcher belches to relieve his stomach
the more surely he embarrasses his
stomach.
The persistent swallowing Of air up
sets the working Of the gate into the
stomach and also the gate out Of the
stomach. The stomach may become
ailated through the persistent swallow
Ing Of air.
However, as bad as any of these is
the frame of mind of the bslcher. He
Is an "ailer." He probably regards
himself as a dyspeptic. He Is pretty
l~certain to have some form Of persistent
stomach complaint. He gets the soda
habit.
OF course, to start with. a belcher is
not thoroughly we'll poised or he would
not be a belcher. But the habit makes
him more of an "ailer."

mnong the stories in the duchess Of

celebrated statue Of Cecil Rhodes
which stands in the main square Of
Bulawayo. The empire builder is fig
ured in contemplation of his achieve

The whole district had been grtev-
ously plagued by drought for over a
twelvemonth, when the natives got up

Rhodes, insisted that it should i'm

r1 TO the President or Secretary Bryan:
matte and consular forces of the United
States to serve American foreign COM
merce is without parallel in our history.
WIN you set these forces in motion to
meet this extraordinary situation? Let
orders be sent to all our agents to report
without delay the conditions developed by
how American enterprise should take ad-
vantage of them. These orders should go
especially to our representatives In South
America and China
On the basis Of the information thu
gained let the government organize an
effective cooperation for manufacture,
of our goods to this field and the develop
ment of better trade relations.
Will the government lead In an agrees
sive campaign for American foreign
The extremity Of Europe is Americas
opportunity.
This is not a declaration Of u%nfriendli-
ness. 1t is an assertion of common sense.
If the American republic has kept the
path of peace, If it has SO ordered its af-
fairs that the people are masters In their
hopper Of war by masterful rulers, IL we
have kept ourselves free from the poison
of militarism we are justified In making
the most Of OUT own wisdom and policy.
AT this time Europe has given itself to
war. This is the time for the United
States to mobilize her own forces-her
forces of trade. Nations are engaged in
q great struggle over the world for mar
kets. Let us take strategic advantage of
our rivals and extend and intrench our
selves in the field.
The best trade Of South America has
belonged to Europe. In the orient we
are hard set. This is our opportunity.
If we are practical, farsighted, and
prompt we shall develop our international
trade and strengthen our position so that
our rivals when they turn from war to
trade once more will find US far ahead.

tunity for American Initiative and organ.
