Early Breaking Down.

Apparently the most significant
result OF the various changes in our
living habits is found in our declining
power to resist the strain OF life on
tho heart arteries, kidneys and the
nervous and digestive systems, re-
marks Science. Compared with past
decades, the increase in mortality
from the early breaking down Of
these organs is very marked. The
records of the last census show that
the increase continues in the younger
as well as the older age groups. This
points to the shortening of the valu-
able productive period Of life. These
indications are well attested. They
cannot be disposed Of by the easy
process Of denying the statistics with
out investigation. Nor can the extra.
ordinary increase in cancer be ex-
planned in this convenient way. The
early breaking down Of these impor.
tant organs points to decline in the
vitality of our people in the mature
and most useful period of their lives,
and presents phase Of the problem
meriting the most careful study and
consideration.

Open.Air Court Of Justice.

The capital of Montenegro consists
of one long street, in which stands
the Tree of Justice, under which the
king dispenses law and equity in true
patriarchal style. No stranger could
pick out his majesty or his family
from the rest of the crowd. In daily
life the Montenegrins are eminently
republican. A group of three or four
may be !een smoking pipes round a
table, or enjoying an evening stroll
all dressed alike, with an arsenal OF
knives and pistols in their belts, and
the universal "strouka," or boat's-hair
blanket, over their shoulders. One is,
perhaps, the minister Of war, the sec
ond tailor, the third a farmer, the
fourth the president Of the senate and
the fifth the minister OF finance.

HOT WATER BED IS REsIFUL
Four Hours Sleep in eat,tub Said 70
De Equal to Eight Of Usual
Kind.

Sleeping in a bath tub full Of water
by some physicians to give the re-
quired amount of rest in half the time
that sleeping in a bed requires, Pop
ular Science Monthly says. In other
words, four hours sleep in a bathtub
filled with water at the proper tenn
perature-and always maintained at
that temperature-will result in the
exact amount of restfulness that eight
hours in bed will give.
The explanation is that warm water
completely relaxes the nerves. which
ordinary sleep does not necessarily do

which, as its name implies. maintains
the water at any desired temperature.
In practice. the patient climbs into
a bath tub filled with water, his head
protruding through hole in a rubber
blanket. which Is strapped around the
edges of the tub. Water constantly
flows in at one end of the tub and
out at the other.
For the harried business man. who
complains that his working day is too
short such a sleeping couch as this
should have distinct appeal. He
should be willing to rest four hours at
least.

NOT FAULT OF CHILDREN
Truaney Reported In the Schools
Of the Country.

Tho average public-school truant is
a physical defective and has an ab-
normal blood pressure, equal to that
of a man OF twenty-five. This is the
conclusion reached after q scientific
study of eighty typical truants in New
York city.
Only seven of the group were found
free from physical drawbacks. which
the investigators enumerate as fol-
lows: Bad teeth, 70; poor vision, IT;
defective nutrition. 81; trouble with
their feet. 20; tobacco users. 60: alco-
hol drinkers, 10. Those who did not
breath right made up 10 per cent of
the so truants; enlarged tonsils. 10
per cent; difficult hearing, Z per cent;
heart ailment. per cent.
As to high blood pressure among the
truants, this was verified by examina-
tion of inmates at the parental school.
There the boys, on admission, almost
uniformly show an abnormal pressure
which usually is reduced to the nor
NAL after two or three months stay
in the institution.
According to the school authorities,
40 per cent Of the pupils have some
thing the matter with their teeth.
Truancy is due not only to physical
defects, the investigators found. but
is chargeable to poor digestion, crowd
ed classes. improperly trained teach
ers, lack Of special studies and
classes and wrong home influences.
