| AUGH AND Be
HEALTHY, SAYS
DOCTOR DIXON
Perpetual Crouch is Forerunner
of Bodily Ills, He De-
CiareS.

HARRISBURG. Pa, July 4.-Dr.
Samuel G. Dixon, the state commits
sioner of health, in his little talk on
health and hygiene" this week en-
phasizes the value OF Mirtn, WHOM
is the title of his talk, as an obstacle
to disease.
The habitual crouch is regarded by
Doctor Dixon as big stepping stone
toward impairment of the physlcal
organism, as he says:
;. frame your mind to mirth and mer-
riment,
which bar thousand harms and
lengthens life
"Lycurgus decreed that statues OF
the good OF mirth should be set up In
the halls where the citizens OF sparta
ate.
MEN of all ages have appreciated
the value of cheerful disposition.
The cultivation. of cheerfulness even
in the face of misfortune and disas-
ter unquestionably helps to prevent
illness. On the other hand, those
who always take somber view OF
life are so distressed by misfortunes
when they come, that there is often
danger OF physical impairment
"The nervous system IN the hui
man body. is SO delicately adjusted
that a comparatively slight disturb
ance may seriously disturb certain OF
the bodily functions. While 1t might
be at times difficult for the most
skillful diagnostician to trace the ex-
act connection between mental depres-
sion and a physical illness, the fact
that they are often intimately related
is we'll known.
"Habits of mind, like habits OF
body, can be cultivated through per-
sistent effort. Cheerfulness is one
which will not only prove distinct
benefit to it's pos5essor, but serve 70
stimulate and encourage those with
whom he comes in contact.
'+Melancholia and similar serious
disturbances may be brought about
by permitting the mind to brood over
real or fancied troubles. and. II in
dulged in, the line of demarcation be-
tween the two becomes more and
more indistinct.
"Therefore, though you. do not set
up the statue of the good of mirth in
your house, bear ever in mind that
the light heart lives long,"

FAIR BATHERS

Strange Men, Say
Authorities.

CHICAGO, July 24.-Innocent man
hood of Chicago, out for a plunge on
the Diversey park beach, will be pro-
tected by the authorities from the
seductive wiles of attractive feminity.
With the destruction of the sex
fence" the park board has promul-
gated this set of rules for women

Don't do anything to the men that
they are forbidden to do to you.
Don't pose.
Don't smile at strange man and

Don't tickle strange women. 1t
Don't splash the water in a. wom-

Universal Service.
We should have a system OF univer-
sal military service in this country,
as the Swiss have. as the Argentines
have, as the Australians and New
Zealanders in large part have. Swift
zerland would, perhaps, be the best
model for us. Under system like
that of the Swiss there would be In
this country military training in the
upper grades of our schools; then on
graduation from the high school the
young man, say at some time pc
tween the ages of eighteen and TWEEN
ty-one. would serve for a period not
to exceed six months in the field In
the army; after that first service he
would serve week or ten days every
year for six or eight years, and then
would go definitely into the reserve.
He would also be trained in r1fe
shooting.
Switzerland has tried this plan and
1T has succeeded we'll. Doubtless the
shrieking sisterhood of pacitists, male
and female, would say that it would
tend to militarism. 1t would tend
to nothing of the sort. Switzerland
is the least militaristic Of countries.
Are those pacifists aware that Swift
zerland, with universal military ser
vice, has in proportion to its popula-
ton only one-eleyenthi of the homt-
cides that our people, with no military
service show? Such service would be
good from the standpoint of our civil
life 1t would be of incalculable ben

In Switzerland it has increased the
Industrial and social efficiency of the
people. 1t has been of great bene-
fit, physically and morally, to the in
dividual and to the community as a
whole.

and derision for themselves and their
country by crying for peace without
justice and without redress OF wrongs,
at the very time that the Lusitania

and children who had suffered these
dreadful fates. All they did was to
utter silly platitudes. which were OF
comfort to the wrongdoers. and which,

founded right and wrong and put a
premium upon wrongdoing by making
1t evident that, If successful, it would

ued at more than 100000, and the
compress owned by the Interstate
compress company and valued at
100000, were destroyed by fire here
Tuesday night The compress site
is a mass of twisted metal
Insurance was carried on the com
press, and many cotton shippers car
red insurance on their own cotton,
but approximately 5000 bales of cot
ton owned by farmers, were without
insurance. According to local repre-
sentatives of the compress company,
there were 5000 bales of cotton de-
stroyed.
The fire department was unable to
make headway against the blaze
owing to the almost total absence o.
water pressure. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
R X. Wooten of Chickasha is

company. Plans for building a new
compress will be discussed following
