OW may one go on the water, and
yet escape seasickness?
Seasickness, it is interesting to
note is one of the most common land
diseases. In fact, one can get seasiek
more quickly and more violently on hoard
camel than upon any ship. Also,
many of us know that any little stomach
upset, plus trip in swaying, reeling
railroad train, will produce violent NAL
de mer. For a constantly changing sky
line and a sensitive stomach are almost
as common on land as on the heaving
main.
However, it is now believed that the
actual cause of equilibrium nausea Gf |
may be permitted to coin term) lies in
the ears. Nature has inclosed few drops
of watery fluid in the semicrcular canals
of bone directly back of the ears in both
men and animals. These determine
proper equilibrium, acting as a sort of
level or balance
This natural level controls our sensa-
tions or ideas of what is horizontal, in

vents losses through bad investments.
Finally, if the young man finds it difficult,
after paying his life insurance premiums,
to save the remainder of his SO week,
then let him take out an endowment

Ought [ to Invest in Insurance?
By ALBERT W. ATWOOD

money myself to greater advantage. But
is it not better to die and leave ones
family provided for than to leaye them
destitute? AS for investing money to bet
ter advantage, let us see. Nothing is
safer than a legal reserve life insurance
company. Failure in the sense that the
policyholders lose is probably rarer than
in any other known field of activity. Alb
solute safety is assured, and that is sOme-
thing which holds good of relatively few
investments; and even they, of course,
do not have the feature of protecting ones
family against stoppage of earning
power. If a man lives twenty or thirty
years, and has great will power and per-
sistence, perhaps he can make his money
earn more than the insurance company
is able to, although we all know that hum
dreds of thousands of otherwise successful
people invest to such poor advantage that
they lose everything they have. But,
even if our young man is one of the few
who do invest wisely he can't possibly
beat life insurance, unless he is sure of
living about thirty years.
The acknowledgement $4,000 Policy
I SUGGEST that this particular young
man take out Encouragement policy
for 5000, which will cost him roughly
$13O a year for twenty years, leaving him
a considerable sum out of his savings
which can go into the savings bank, into
home, or into bonds, stocks, or mort
cages, or simply be kept in checking
bank as fund against illness and emer-
gency. This policy lasts all his life.
Insurance men differ greatly as to
which is the best policy, and this SUCCESS
ton may meet with their denials. An
ordinary policy payable during life)
would cost almost $40 per 81 900 less than
the twenty-payment policy. But the

great advantage of the limited payment
form is that man is released from making
payments at the very period of life when
he wishes to be relieved of burdens,
when probably his earning ability begins
to wane OF course if this young man
expects steadily to increase his earnings,
so that by forty-fve or fifty he will have
a competence, then perhaps the ordinary
life policy. being less of burden during
his productive years, might be the better
form. But that is taking chance.
The Endowment Policy
TWO other suggestions may be worth
while. When the insurance is taken
out it may be wise to arrange with the
company to pay the SIS 900 in instalments

Side-Stepping Seasickness
By EDWIN F. BOWERS, MD.

contradistinction to what is perpendicu-
lar. Further evidence of this function
lies in the fact that when these cells and
their fluids are affected by what we know
as "Meniere's' disease, we suffer from the
same vertigo, giddiness, and nausea that
accompany seasickness.
Also, the eyes, firing from the unusual
and unnatural task of focusing upon the
rapidly changing horizon-line, frequently
communicate their tale of weakened mus
cular woe to the pneumogastric nerve.
This fat nerve sympathizes with the eve
strain by making the stomach stand on
its hind legs, or lie down and roll over.
So, before taking trip on either land or
water, people subject to seasickness should
first have their eyes thoroughly examined
by competent oculist. If any abnor-
malities are found, they should be cor
rected by properly fitted pair of lenses.
Diet Before Going on Journey
THEN, day or two before starting,
saline aperient may be taken. The
diet should be greatly restricted-a spe-
cific embargo being placed upon all heavy,
greasy, or soggy foods. The good old
practice of dining sumptuously and un-
well, and topping off with box of choco-
lates, is to be studiously avoided. Also,
alcoholic particularly beer or
malt liquors-should be tabooed.
When the boat or train begins its sway
back gyrations, small tuft of cotton,
smeared with white vaseline should be
plugged snugly into each ear. This little
precaution has in thousands of instances
been an actual specific in seasickness, for
1t prevents the entrance of air into the
canals OF the ear, and the consequent
rapid fiuctuation of the fluids contained
in these canals.
An additional help in overcoming the
tendency toward nausea-and a very eff
fective one-is to sip few tablespoon
fuls of milk of magnesia, poured over
cracked ice or mixed with third of glass
of ice water. If this is not available, a tea
spoonful of bicarbonate of soda (pure
baking soda) in half glass of water fire.
quently gives relief.
Sulphate of atropine, now recommended
for seasickness, should not be used except
under the definite instructions of a ply
sician. For this powerful drug must be
taken until its physiological symptoms
(dryness of the throat and dilation of the
pupils OF the eyes) are apparent, in order
to narcotize (or deaden) this equilibrium
nausea. And in the hands of amateurs
there is considerable danger of developing
belladonna poisoning with this treatment.
Even should all of these suggestions
prove Intellectual, it is hardly likely that
they will not at least mitigate the severity
of the attack. Also, it is comforting to
realize that rarely or never is seasickness
of itself a fatal ondition-notwithstan
ing that, at the time, we most heartily
wish it were

E LAWS STAND

With the approach of the open
season for shooting wild fowl, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is warning sportsmen that
the federal regulations as amended
October /, 1914, will be strictly en-
forced. Some misunderstanding has
arisen from the fact that the various
state laws do not always conform to
the federal regulations but in such
cases the department insists upon
the observance of federal laws.
In South Dakota the federal season
opens September z and closes Decem-
Der 1. The opening date does not
conform to the state regulation which
specifies the date as September 10 and
in order to keep from getting into
trouble hunters are warned to heed
both regulations.
