WORK IS HEALTH.
ldleness 10 Often the Cause Of Human
Disease and Decay.

Idleness 10 Often the Cause Of Human
Disease and Decay.
Work is not the curse nor the Attic
ton that some people think it is. When
taken in proper doses it is the best Of
medicines. 1t is now being prescribed
for many forms Of invalidism, such as
heart disease, Bright's disease, nerv-
BUSINESS and particularly for insanity.
The lack Of work is often the cause
Of many chronic maladies, and it is a
wise physician who can determine
when one needs work instead Of rest
and in prescribing the remedy produce
no unpleasant situations.
About the most unhealthful person,
as well as the most unhappy and USE
less, is the person with nothing to do.
Work is dispeller Of fears. 1t is the
exercise that is as essential to the body
and mind as are food and air. 1t is
only when work Is carried to excess
that it becomes injurious, as in the
case with food, rest and all good things.
The ideal Of healthy, happy life Is
no longer a world where work Is not
necessary and life is one grand sweet
song of idleness. Life Is activity; In
the broad sense 1t is work-wOrk that
produces and entails sacrifice. 1t is not
less work that we need, but work in
the right proportions and under the
right conditions. Such work is health

The Oasis Of Jupiter.

The oasis of silva is better known
as the oasis Of Jupiter Ammon. one OF
the most famous oracles of antiquity.
The visit of Alexander the Great to this
temple was among the most romantic
Incidents of his career. He came to
ask whether he was only the son OF
the mortal Philip or the son Of the
great god himself. Apparently Alex
ander received full assurance from the
oracle of his divine origin, with the
promise of unbroken victory until he
should be taken away to join the gods.
And many signs showed his superhu-
man status. Rain fell in the desert
Just when his soldiers thirst required

two speaking serpents or ravens ap-
peared to direct them.-London Chron-
icle.

so that he may put in most up-to-
date devices in the local school, re-
turned home Monday.
The meeting of the union straw
berry growers in the Richland city
park last Saturday was great sue
cess, practically everyone interested
in the strawberry business being in
attendance. The meeting was ed-
dressed by p. r. Parks, manager OF
the marketing union and Lee Lamp
son, and great emphasis was placed
on the fact that only by combined
strength could the record prices and
market obtained this year have been
nossible. The Richland growers with
out a single exception voiced them
selves as highly satisfied with the
results of the union marketing plan
this year and everyone will join for
another year. Lunch was served IN
the park at noon and most ENJOY
able and profitable day was spent.
The fipst early potatoes were ship
ned from Richland by F. Dresser
last Tuesday and commanded price
If $4,000 per ton. They were shipped

BLUE LAWS FORCE
 NOISELESS WARFARE
Rifles, Cannon, Drums, BugleS
 and BandS-All Are Silent

New York, May 22.-After nearly 10000 National Guardsmen had mo- bilized in record time at the Sheeps- head Bay Speedway yesterday morn ing to take part in the battle prob lem which they were to work out in the presence of Major Gen. John F. O'Ryan and some 5000 spectators at the Military and Naval Tournament it was announced that owing to co,n- plaint of the Kings County Sunday Observance League against the break ing of certain "blue laws" there could be no noise in the mimic war
 Blank cartridges for rifle and can- non were taboo, drums, bugles and bands were forbidden, and no lero- plane was allowed to fly, with it's noisy exhaust, And, acting under or- ders from General O'Ryan, the Guard obeyed the law so carefully that the only noise the watchers heard during the whole of the fight" was the crack, crack, crack of the rifles and zip of bullets in a shooting gallery nearby that ran on merrily through it all.
 Not only was the sham battle made noiseless, but the same laws were in- voked against the fireworks display in the evening, and there was no night performance.
 Late in the afternoon certain aero planes made flights and bands played, just little timidly, but none of them was connected in any way with the National Guard.
 General O'Ryan said he had re- ceived a letter last week from a rlan n Albany connected with the Law and Order Department of the Civic League calling attention to the law forhiddine: the breaking of the Sabbath quiet with any sort of noise m aking device.
 When I learned that that was the law" said General O'Ryan, "of course that settled the matter so far as the guard was concerned. We are off, cers of the state, all of us, and we cannot wriggle and try to evade the law no matter how any individual may regard 1t. I ordered the men to carry no ammunition and forbade the bands to play any but sacred music.''

true Russian style' the maojrity of those present applauded wildly.
 When the applause subsided a dap per young man in the audience began to speak with broad English accent. It was Newman.
 T am as good an Irishman as any here today" he said. "I have lived in long line of Ireland's best. But such bally bunk makes me i'll. I say, why do you try to put over such ridicu- lous drivel ?''
 Larkin, who was sitting far back on the stage, arose, and, in a frenzy of anger ran to the footlights. He jumped clearing the orchestra pit and a high brass railing with apparen: ease. A woman in the back of the theater shrleked. When she started down the aisle she was recognized as Mrs. Lar kin.
 Be careful what you do to him!' she shouted to her infuriated husband.
 Jim, Jim. Think"
 Larkin seized Newman by the throat and choked him until he gasped for breath. Then he jerked him out of his seat and shook him until the of lending one was speeches.. After Larkin had torn Newman's collar away he dragged him to the entrance or the theater and tossed him out into the lobby. Then the meeting was re- sumed.

GREECE ALMOST BANKRUPT.
Former Premier VeniZclOS Makes
 Startling Assertions.

Athens, via London, May 22.-For- rner Premier VeniZelos has contributed an article to the Athens Herald in which he points out what he con- siders the mistakes made by the Greek Government.
 He condemns the "blustering meth ods'' of Premier Skouloudis and states that the army, which he says has worn out uniforms and boots as well as part of the equipment furnished at the mobilization, could rot take the field within less than two months and then only if the Entente Powers un- dertook to furnish the necessary equipment. The task of feeding the army, he says is becoming daily more problematical. The former premier hints that Greece is on the verge of bankruptcy and says:
 While there is only one road to salvation, it is precisely that which we will not follow"
 The article makes a strong bid for closer relations between Greece and the Allies "before it is too late"

ENGAGE RASMUSSEN
 TO FIND EXPLORERS
Will Go to Greenland for MCMilIan
 and HoVey Parties

New York, May 22-The American Museum of Natural History has con- tracted by cable with Knud Raslnus- sen, the Danish explorer, to bring out of Greenland the members of the Donald B. McMillan expedition, which went out three years ago to explore Crocker Land, and also the members of the E. O. Hovey party, which went to the relief of the McMilian expedi- ton last year.
 On Friday the museum received from Dr. Hovey a cablegram asking for relief ship. The Hovey relief schooner George B. Cluett, met with bad ice conditions in Melville Bay and did not reach North Star Bay, Green land, until Sept. 12. From there How ey proceeded in a power boat belong ing to Rasmussen to Etah, the head quarters of the Crocker Land exped1- tion reaching his destination Sept. 5. There he found Fitzhugh Green, Maur- ice s. Tanquary, and Jerome l.. Ali len of the McMillan expedition. The next day he met McMillan, J. c. Small and Dr. Harrison J. Hunt, who mad been out hunting game for food. He left McMillan, Small, and Hunt, at Etah and returned to North Star Bay, I0dCHllS UlSIS III Sdle oSpCs
 On Sept. 19, according to his mes sages, Hovey started from North Star Bay for New York. leaving supplies at the bay for McMillan, 125 miles away. But on Sept. 23 he was driven off his course by a gale and took ref uge in Parker Snow Bay, where the damaged condition of his ship forced him to decide to spend the win ter there. But about the first of the year the food supply became so short that members of the party left the Cluett, and Hovey, Tanquary, Allen and Green started south by dog sledge to look for food. On Jan. 20, Hovey collapsed from the cold and from North Star bay sent the messages by Tanquary which were received in New York. Tanquary kept on, reached the Farce Islands, from which the messages were cabled, and is now in Copenhagen.
 McMillan, according to the messages from Hovey and later cablegrams from Tanquary, planned to start on March 10 for a ninety-day trip to eX- plore Perry Island and Findlay Land the latter seen by the Franklin expedi- tion in 1853. He was expected back at Etah By June.

SHY WITH STAMPS.
Have Habit of Thus Cut
 ting Down Mailing Expenses.

Washington, May 22.-Some idea of the extent to which Americans, through negligence or ignorance, place insufficient postage on letters and par eel post mail destined to foreign coun- tries is disclosed in reports to the state department from American con- suls abroad who frequently voice the protests of foreign business men and others at having to "buy their Ameri- can mail" A recent report from Con- sul Loop at Hamilton, Berm uda, shows that more than twenty-seven per cent of Bermuda's 1914 postal surplus came from penalties collected because of underpaid postage on letters and parcel mail. These penalties aggre- gated $2,860. The letters instead of being prepaid at the usual foreign letter rate of five cents an ounce bore two cent stamps and their recipients in Bemuda paid double the amount of deficiency, or six cents, as a penalty.
 The same condition prevails in many other foreign countries and postal au- thorities here have sought in every way to bring it to the attention of Am orleans carrying on foreign corre- spOndenCe.
