physlcian's Directions Would Certain.
y Prevent One Becoming . Null
sanee to Companions.

The following directions as to how
to cough are given by physician in
the Journal of the Outdoor Life:
Fold your handkerchief so that it is
about five inches square. Place it fat
in the right hand. il you are right
handed, and with this hand hold it
tightly over the mouth. Press the
hand on the mouth, as to hold it
loosely over the mouth will not ac-
complish the purpose. Now instead of
coughing and trying to muffie the
sound in your throat or mouth. muffle
it with your handkerchief. Practice
it until a person ten feet away can
not hear you.
The sound made in coughing is due
partly to air passing over the vocal
cords, partly to air going through the
bronchial tubes and trachea, and part
ly to the resonance produced in the
chambers above the trachea. This
sound can be almost wholly avoided
and the irritation to the lungs and air
passages prevented by keeping the air
passages open and letting your hand
kerchief do the muffling. Now instead
Of expelling 120 cubic inches of air at
each expiration, you will expel a
smaller amount, with more comfort to
yourself and to those around you and
vita much less harm to your lungs"

KEEPING THE TRENCHES DRY
Water Continually Pumped From Po-
sitions Which the French Are
Occupying.

The French made their trenches as
comfortable as possible for the benefit
of the troops during the winter months.
Many of the trenches are paved and
the water was kept out Of them by
means of powerful pumps. There are
drain pits which have been sunk along
the whole length inside the trenches,
and the pumps are used to force the
water from these pits to the outside.
The walls OF the trenches are
strengthened with hurdles to prevent
landslides. The bottom of the trenches
are carefully beaten down, leveled and
covered with plank or straw, and the
earthen roofs are made stronger by
sheets of zinc. The heating, which 10
adequate, is furnished by charcoal bra
ziers. Farther back from the trenches.
along the second line, are erected lit
tie wooden huts, built with double
walls to keep out the cold, with slate
roofs, and in most cases with flowers
raised above the level of the ground.
The beds consist Of wire netting
stretched over wooden frames, with q
covering of straw packing and a sup
ply of warm blankets.
In the huts stoves are furnished.
Fuel is very plentiful and easily OBJ
tanned because the shells of the enemy
have scattered huge branches from the
trees and splintered them ready for
burning. The soldiers are given tive
good meals day, and in the case Of
the men who are most exposed there
is an extra ration of meat. Hot drinks
are furnished, such as tea and coffee
with a fixed measure Of alcohol when
the temperature requires it.

GOOD FOR THE Willy EDITOR
Some Method In His Instructions as
to How One Might Achieve
Long Life.

The famous writer for the Belt Line
series of yellow journals and author
of magazine stories and popular lee
lures, whose name was a household
word, sat him down In response to a
passionate demand from 100000
readers and wrote the following:
MY RULES FOR LONG LIFE.
l am seventy-five years of age and
have married and successfully gotten
rid Of four wives, and never have had
a days illness. Anyone can do as !
have done by observing the following
rules:
Eatsplenty of bananas.
Drink plenty of pure distilled bot
tied water between meals.
Wear linen underwear.
Rub the body dry with horsehair
mitts twice a day.
Breathe deeply through any good
breathing tube.
Don't worry.
Then, having sent bill for advertis
ing to the banana trust, the bottle

eoientista Have Discovered Reason
Why SEINE Resfst Entrance and
Action u Decay.

The reason why one kind Of wood
h more durable than another Is ow-
ing to the fact that it contains the sub
stance known as tylose In more gen.
erous quantities.
Tylose is the material which fills
the pores of the wood and resists the
entrance and action of decay.
For instance. white oak il well suit
ed and much used for barrel slaves.
where barrels are to contain liquid,
while, on ine other hand, red oak,
which is apparently of the same struc-
ture, is not at all suited for the pur-
rose. A close examination of the
wkite oak reveals the presence Of the
tylose which seals all the little pores
of the wood. Red oak has none of the
tylose For this reason a fence post
of white oak will last much longer In
service than one Of red. Timber en-
gineers who inject creosote and other
substances into wood to retard decay
long ago made lists of species that
were hard to treat, and others which
were easy. The preservative fluids
penetrate certain woods to consider
able depth when moderate pressure is
applied; while others are almost i'm
pervious, no matter how great the
pressure. Those hardest to penetrate
by preservative fluids are those best
supplied with tylose.

Hotel Puts Tents on Roof.

High in the air on the broad roof
of the Hotel Lenox several tents have
been pitched for the benefit of guests
who wish to sleep in the open, says
the Boston Post
So far as is known, this is the first
time that Boston hotel has arranged
for sleeping accommodations on the
roof. the idea being to provide fresh
air right in the heart of the city.
Among the first to try out the plan
was Miss Ora Mcbride, widely known
among magazine illustrators. and Miss
Helen Walsh, stenographer. After
the fact became known that tents had
been erected on the roof, many of the
guests of the hotel flocked there, ac-
companied by moving-picture men,
newspaper photographers and report
ers.
, The tents are what are known as
"arctics." They are heavy and wind
proof, and give plenty of room for
iron cots, made up" with either
blankets or sleeping bags.

Now Practice "Safety First"

A delegation of indignant women
once waited upon the head of trolley
company.
You must lower the steps of your
cars at least three inches" said the
spokeswoman firmly. They are much
too high. 1t is almost impossible fol-
US to reach them. Our lives are en-
dangered"
Certainly" said the head Of the
trolley company, and he gave orders
that the steps should be lowered.
When the work was completed-the
company operated several thousand
cars-the president informed the WON
en- that he had complied with their
wishes and hoped that the revised
steps would prove satisfactory.
s"Oh, thank you," they replied, but
1t doesn't matter now, really. The
fashion in skirts has changed. They
are now made full"

Trouble at Customhouse.

The rotunda of the New York Gus
tomhouse has troublesome echo.
One OF the officers tells of the pc
culiarities Of resonance In this hall.
When business is at its height, the
noise of footsteps, slamming of books
and desks, grinding of chairs and
voices in different pitch, become q
complicated roar. The most singular
thing is this: When there are few
on the floor can hear everything that
is said Just across the hall; but II I
try to speak to an officer, l cannot
make myself understood" There is
a marble-clad transverse gallery Just
north Of the rotunda. People in this
gallery may be out of sight, but their
words travel into the rotunda, and if
things are quiet there, they can be
heard in many parts. In fact, the ro-
tunda is like the belly of bass violin
which sounds play antics. Were one
to attempt to speak to an audience
or to lecture or sing in it, the echoes
reverberating from one curved space
to another would inevitably impair the
clearness of utterance in the most
practiced singer or speaker, and re-
duce his audience to despair.

BUILDING THE NATIONAL LIFE
All Glasses in This Country Now

Occupation.

Harrison Rhodes, whose book, in

few weeks ago, declares that our coun-

contribute to the interests of interna-
tional peace.

Mr.. Rhodes, "but they bring breakfast
to the bedrooms in the continental

rooms and open plumbing in a way
never to be acquired in Britain.
Negro cooks prepare risotto, and
Italians learn how to turn q buck
