lit bears the same relation to the hui
man family as the waters of the globe
to the order of fishes. The air and
water are essential to the life as
much a factor to man as the quantity
of water to the fish. This normal at
mospheric air exerts on our bodies a
definite dynamic force or physical
pressure of 14.7 pounds on every
square inch of our bodies, if we live
at or near the sea level, and the high
er up we go this atmospheric pressure
diminishes unit on the heights of the
Rockies it is probably two pounds less.
The normal pressure at sea level is
indicated at 30 tinehes), and it de-
creases by an established scale as it
ascends these mountain heights. Most
persons know that ascents of noun
famous peaks, thousands of feet above
sea level, results in marked physical
distress, difficult breathing, general
depression at the SUBMITS, and in ex-
IRENE cases bleeding at the nose and
even from the lungs, due to this less
ened atmospheric pressure. Just so
il happens that when the barometer is
''low" for a considerable period, say a
drop from 30, the normal gauge, to 20
or below, when stormy or dull weather
ensues, we get the analogous effect
imperceptibly, but in an appreciate
degree; for it has happened that a
definite measure Of atmospheric pres
srue is released from our bodies and
there follows a dislocation Of |
our normal balance. The average
adult man sustains on every pleasant
day an atmospheric pressure Of about
II tons at sea level, when the barom-
ster reads at 30, and drop Of an inch
Or more, to % and below, practically
takes off half ton or more Of lbs load

'reer, man feels its disturbing depress-
Mi effect on his tissues. He has to

THE BAROMETER AND HEALTH
Statement by Senior Surgeon Charles
+. Banks, United States Public
Health Service.

+. Banks, United States Public
Health Service.
Every person capable Of putting two
and two together and obtaining the
correct answer has been conscious Of
feeling out of sorts, as the printer
would say, when the clouds hung low
and the sun was obscured. A week OF
dull weather sets whole community
on edge and the mental, moral and
physical components of man are, at its
close, about fit for the scrap heap.
Under such atmospheric conditions,
when prolonged for number Of days,
an Englishman admits that he feels
''seedy" and the American confesses
that he is feeling mean" both adjec-
tives relating 10 a state of mental and
bodily dumps.
This situation is generally attribut.
ed TO the lack Of sunshine, for every
human being retains the ancient be-
liefs in the potentiality of the sun in
its relation to his life and its we'll
being. He knows that il gives warmth
and light and brings forth his crops
from the fruitful earth, and rightly
yields il a respect for its great and
generally benign influence over mum
dane existence. II is true that we feel
bully in sunshiny weather, but sun
shine is the accompaniment Of certain
atmospheric conditions not wholly
shown by the thermometer or the sol
arimeter. A few sunless days or
hours are not sufficient, however, TO
put hco-doo on the temperament and
activities Of whole population; there
is another important controlling
agency but little understood even If
appreciated. and il exercises much
greater influence than the sun in

PLANS FOR PEACE
ARE BEING ORAF TED
TWO NEUTRAL EUROPEAN COUN
, TRIES CONSIDERING CALLING
OF FORMAL CONVENTION.
European NeutraIs Believe United
States Should Take the Initiative
Because of It's Neutral Power and
Distance From Scene.

Washington. neutral Euro
pean countries already are consider
ing calling formal convention of
neutrals to discuss means of ending
the European war, and three others
have given assurances that they will
participate in such a convention, ac-
cording to Nine. Resia Schwimmer of
Hungary, one of the women who
called at the White House ON Satur-
day to urge President Wilson to take
the initiative for peace.
Nine. Schwimmer visited the Swiss,
Norwegian, Swedish and Netherlands
ministers Saturday and laid before
them the information given the presi-
dent as to the feeling of European
neutral governments toward the pro
ject. She left Saturday night for
New York preparatory to taking pas
sage on the peace ship Oscar II early
next month.
Nine. Schwimmer would not give
the names Of the European neutral
countries she referred to, but she said
all of the foreign ministers abroad
upon whom she had called had been
very anxious to learn what the Amer
lean position would be. 1t had been
indicated, she said, that various pre-
yious peace plans had been rejected
because of the fear that partisan in
fuence might be suspected. She
thought the present movement urged
by the women of the world would be
free of that suspicion and indicated
that the European neutrals believed
the United States should take the
initiative both as the most important
neutral power and because of its great
distance from the scene of the strug-
gle made for impartial action.

PROPOSE INCREASE
IN INTERNAL TAXES
SECRETARY McADoo WOULD IN
CREASE TAXATION ON INDlviD-
UAL AND CORPORATE INCOME.
Opposes Issuance of Bonds to Meet
First Years Expenses of National
Defense Program.-Wou!d Keep
Emergency Tax and Sugar Duty.

Washington. Increases in internal
taxation rather than issuance of bonds
to meet the first years expenses of
the administration defense program
are advocated by Secretary McAdoo OF
the treasury, in a formal statement
issued Thursday night, giving an esti-
mate of the federal governments reve
nues and expenditures up to the end
of the fiscal year beginning next July.
Assuming that congress will con-
tinue in effect the present emergency
tax law and customs duty on sugar
the secretary estimates that $1l2,8O6,
1894 in additional revenue will be need
ed for the expenditures for 1917, in
Guiding $53,SO0000 for new measures
for national defense.
"This amount" says the statement,
"can easily be raised by internal taxa
ton without appreciable burdens upon
the American people"
Mr.. McAdoo suggests reduction in
the income tax law exemption on SIN
gle persons from $4,000 to $4,000 and
on married persons from $4,000 to s.,
600; changes in the surtax imposed on
incomes above certain figure, and
new taxes on gasoline, crude and re-
ined oils, horsepower of automobiles,
other internal combustion engines, and
various other things.

Your Opportunity to Bring Christmas
to Those Who Need Cheer

The Red Cross Seals have all the
significance of the regular Christmas
stickers, but that does not begin to
tell their story. In addition to
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year greeting, the Red Cross Seals
typify as nothing else of their kind
does the real Christmas spirit of
love and sympathy and service for a
brotherhood of suffering humanity.
they carry a message of helpful in
terest to forlorn hearts which cannot
be directly reached however much
we may be willing. They give ex-
preston to the best impulse that
comes from the heart of man-that
of helpfulness to the unfortunate
C ims of poverty, misery and dis
tress. They represent real and
potent effort to translate this spirit
of helpfu,ness into efficient service
toward alleviating the sorrow and
suffering which follow i'm the train
Of the Great White Plague. They
give joy alike to the heart of the
sender and to the recipient and help
to save the life and happiness of
some less fortunate brother beyond
the personal reach of either who
has already CIR may become the vic
TIM of Tuberculosis. And tuberculos &
is SO largely community sin.
Placed on correspondence, Christmas
gifts, pay envelopes, they carry at
once a gladsome message, a cher
ished hope and sympathy that cam
not be misunderstood.
