CUT DOWN YOUR SUNDAY DIET
Eat Less and Exercise More and Elir1-
mate "BIue Monday" is
Good Advice.

Grouchiness is more prevalent on
Monday morning than at any other
time in the week, and to such an ex-
tent that life is made disagreeable
temporarily for many families and for
many coworkers. That such manifes-
tations of i'll feelings are detrimental
to public and private interests is wide
ly acknowledged, but it has remained
for DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, state COM
missioner of health, to direct public
attention to the Monday morning.
crouch and to tell how 1t can be done
away with.
"The majority of people," Doctor
Dixon says, according to the Pitts
burgh Chronicle-Telegraph, "are apt
to fall into two general divisions. One
class tries to crowd too much into the
time between one weeks end and the
beginning of the next weeks labor
They take up their labor on Monday
morning exhausted and overtired in
stead of refreshed by the day Of rest
The other class goes to extremes by
Overeating and understanding, and
the result is equally unhappy"
To these causes the doctor could
have added the "hang over" from Sat
urday night, for that there is more dis
slpation then than during any other
night in the week is beyond dispute.
This is followed by late rising on Sun
day morning and, if the stomach WIZ
permit, the eating Of three meals.
which are always heavier on Sunday
than on other days. The remedy, then,
lies with the individuaR and it con-
sists in abstinence from liquor Satur-
day night, and less eating and more ex-
ercise-nothing better than long
walk--on Sunday. BY following this
plan what is known as blue Monday"
will be wiped off the social and busi-
ness calendar, and everybody will be
fit to enter upon the duties of the
week.

results have amply justified its exist
ence. The census bureau of the Unit
ed States, Of which Samuel L. Rogers
is director, has become the greatest
statistical laboratory in the world, and
the facts and figures it is gathering
and tabulatlng and issuing at all times
are of vital importance to the prog
ress and development of the United
States.
The permanent office force Of this
bureau of the department of commerce
numbers about 900 men and women,
who are kept constantly at work be-
tween times on intercensal activities.
When the great reckoning of Ameri-
cas- forces of people and their con-
ditiOn of it's manufactures and their
kinds and values; Of its agricultural
holdings, mineral products and 9TH
er lines of investigation arrives, an
office force of nearly 1000 is on hand,
with an outside army Of over 10000
enumerators and other special en-
ployees, all ready to begin operations
at the arrival Of the proper moment.
Their work is to gather in the data
accurately and expeditious'y; to tab
ulate and otherwise prepare them.
Woman Directs Mobilization.
With this expanding and contracting
force to be mustered in and set to
work without confusion or delay,
again to be mustered out when the
work is done with the least possible
loss Of time and money, it is interest
ing to know that a woman's head de-
vises a goodly part of the planning Of
perintendlng its carrying out.
Miss Emily I. Farnum Of the ap-
pointment section Of the bureau of the
census is given credit for unusual ad-
ministrative ability, both during the
three-year period Of the decennial CEN
sus, when she acts as assistant to the
temporary appointment clerk, and in
her post under William L. Austin,
chief clerk of the bureau. during the
intercensal period.
Miss Farnum has nlled this ONCE
satisfactorily since the establishment
Of the permanent bureau of the cen
sus, and she has carried her share Of
the work successfully through the
twelfth and thirteenth censuses. She
has civil service rules which govern
the appointment of all clerks at her
fingers ends, and she is thoroughly fa-
miliar with depart entail usage and
with the history and customs Of the
bureau to which she is attached, all
of which stand her in good stead at
the stressful time Of demonstrating.

CANCER MENACE HAS GROWN
Mortality in United States Has In.
creased Continually for Past is
Years, Uncle Sam Reports.

The mortality from cancer and other
malignant tumors in the death-registra.
tiOn area of the United States has been
Increasing almost continuously for the
past 10 years. It is greater in urban
than in rural localities; among females
than among males; among whites than
among negroes; and among persons in
middle life and old age than among
those in early life. Deaths due to
cancer of the stomach and liver repre-
sent more than three-eighths of the
total.
These are among the significant
facts brought out in a special report
issued by Uncle Sam through the cen.
sus bureau.
The total deaths from cancer and
other malignant tumors throughout the
registration area (Which contains ap-
proximately two-thirds of the total
population of the United States) in
1914 numbered 52,420, corresponding
to death rate of 79.4 per 100000 pop
ulatiOn. This figure represents an al
AnObk ~OAlAhhOuo AlNLNdoC
to 20 per cent for the entire period
since 1900, when the rate was 63. How
much of this increase has been due to
more accurate diagnoses and greater
care ON the part of physicians in MAX
ing reports to registration officials,
and is thus apparent rather than real,
it is impossible to estimate. For reg
istration cities having 10000 inhabi-
tants or more in 1910 the rate aver
aged SS per 100000. but for smaller
places and rural localities in the reg
istration states it averaged only 69.6.
Among the states the lowest five
rates-45.S, 46, 4S.9, 51.5 and SIS per
100000 population-are shown for
Utah, Kentucky, Virginia, Montana and
North Carolina, respectively; and the
highest fve-109.9, 1915, 1912, 1908
and 97.9-for Vermont, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Califor-
MIA respectively. The rate for North
Carolina relates only to places which
had 1000 or more inhabitants IN 1910

TYPHOID PUT TO ROUT
Army Doctors Victorious Over
0Id-Time Enemy.
only Eight Cases Reported In Year,
With No Deaths-Reeord ls
Made Under Difficulties.

Uncle Sans health officers have
routed typhoid fever, the old-time en-
emy Of every army. At the same time
they have during the past year made
a great record in other ways in the
preservation of the health of Uncle
Sans fighting men. There were no
epidemics or unusual occurrences OF
infectious diseases.
The statistics which are kept by the
army doctors show that there were but
eight cases of typhoid fever in the en-
tire army during the year, none of
which resulted in death. This record
is all the more remarkable when 1t is
considered that during the IA months
from May l, 1898, to June 80, 1899,
cavering the period Of the Spanish
American war, there were 2,774 deaths
from this disease, and that this alone
was responsible for more than one
half the disease mortality in the army.
Again malarial fever, formerly one
of the largest contributors to the nom
effective rate in the service, showed in
the year under examination the lowest
rate in the history Of the army. The
health statistics of the army are es-
peclally interesting, in view of the fact
that they cover about 100000 men hav-
ing a far extended field Of action, dis
tributed literally over two hemi-
spheres, and therefore subject to epi-
demic contact and to the presence of
contagion in foreign service from
which the civilian or nonmilitary
population of the continental United
States is more adequately protected
by local sanitary safeguards.
In connection with these health sta
tistics it must be remembered that
they cover the period since the Ma
tiOnal Guard and practically the entire
army has been on the Mexican border.
The expeditionary force which, in
March, 1916 entered Mexico, COM
prised troops from all branches Of the
service, numbering approximately TO-
900 men. During the several months
of their stay these men were under
trying climatic and sanitary condl-
tions, having to construct the sanitary
appliances and facilities of their
camps, and frequently being in sta
tions where adequate water supply
was difficult to secure.
The mobilization of the National
Guard on the Mexican border present
ed to the medical staff of the army a
large and delicate problem. The men
comprising these guard regiments
were drawn from all parts of the Unit
ed States, from our great cities and
from the rural districts, from high up
lands and low valleys, from mountain
and plain. They were transported at
the height of the summer heat to the
climate of southern Texas, to which
few, if any, Of them were in the least
They exchanged home

Stumbled on BURGLARS, Cache.

A burglars haul amounting ITO $7,
500 was recently discovered by a gar.
dener while digging up some flower
beds in Kingston, England. He was
preparing the beds for the winter
when he was surprised to find ar.
ticles of jewelry among the earth
turned up by his spade. Then he
called one of the other gardeners, and
the two of them in a short time
brought to the surface some two OF
three hundred articles of jewelry, all
in gold, consisting of gold watches, ex.
panding wristlet watches, finger
rings, earrings, shirt studs, sleeve
links, albert and neck chains; and
other articles, some of them set with
diamonds and other precious stones,
the whole being sufficient to I'LL the
apron of one of the men. The police
afterwards sifted the earth and sue
ceeded in recovering several smaller
articles. Later in the day the jewel.
cry was identified as that stolen from
a jeweler whose shop had been broken
into by burglars.

The husband decides that he must
have a room or a place where his
things can be put and which he can
use when he desires to work, think
and be by himself. He has missed
such a place in all of his rented houses,
very much.
The things named above are only
few of the different ideals which each
member of the family may have, but
they are all going to live in this house
which is to be built. Therefore as
many Of the ideals of each member
as are possible should be included in
the arrangement and design of the new
house
Putting these many ideas into one
house may seem impossible to some.
Don't let it fool you and cause dissat-
lsfactiOn later.
The way to solve such a problem
would be this: Sit down of an evening
and let each get an idea of what it is
that the other has such a strong desire
for in this new home. Let each MEM
Der of the house then study and get
together all the plans that meet with
his or her approval.
The next thing would be general
get-together, each bringing out the su-
perior points Of his house. The first
few plans may have all the things that
one or two members of the family de-
sire, but few or absolutely none Of
the things the others desire.
Finally, after perhaps all members
have spoken of each of their plans,
