Fewer Meals You Eat
Less Sleep You'll Need

st. Louis Feb. 2S.-The amount of
sleep needed by normal person de-
pends on the amount of food that per-
son eats, according to w. Earl Flynn
of California, who gave his second
lecture at the Victoria Theater last
night in his six weeks health efficiency
campaign.
The less you eat the less you have
to sleep" said Flynn. IF you eat
three meals a day you need twelve
hours sleep. 1t takes the body that
long to eliminate the poisons. If you
eat twice a day you need from five to
seven hours sleep. and if you only eat
one meal YOU only need from four to
five hours"
Flynn declared that there is about
10000 times more food drunkenness
in the world than there is beer
whisky or wine drunkenness.
Spiritual life and physical life go to-
gether, Flynn said. Religion, he as
serted, has a large influence on a per-
sons physical well-being.
Christ first cured people of their
ailments and, then preached religion"
said Flynn. He could not preach to
the people while they were SICK

FOLLY TO GLOAT
OVER TROUBLES
Those Who Do Are Likely to
Be Alone in Their
Glory
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Is there any real enjoyment in posing
as martyr?
That question puzzles me increas-
ingly as l notice abe number of peo-
ple-feminine people particularly-who
walk through life advertising their suf-
ferlngs with a sort of grim enjoyment
in their own tribulations.
When the Indian suffers he retires
to his tent to hide the pain, of which
he is rather ashamed. / like that stole
attitude. 1t is much more agreeable to
life with than is tne whining and
whimpering of n hypochondriac.
Too many people know of no bet
ter way of getting the center of the
stage which they desire than by meet
ing you with moaning demand for
sympathy. You give it for while.
Your emotions are stirred and your
tender heart grieves over the pain a
friend is compelled to endure
Suddenly you find yourself growing
impatient. You are a little bored
by the constant retical of woes. Irri-
tation grows and finally you almost
dislike the whining friend and find
yourself seeking to avoid his society.
None of us is exempt from pain.
Suffering is the inevitable portion of
humanity. The strong know that it
makes for growth and accent it grim
ly, doggedly, bravely or cheerfully, as
their natures demand. Only the weak
whimper and whine and force other
people to help them endure their in
dividual portions of pain.
No one has right to insist that
any one else bear what ought to be
personal to the sufferer.
1t doesn't help anyone to harp on
his pain. 1t gives no relief. but rather
keeps the mind of the sufferer focus
sed on his unhappiness. That how
ever, is not the point of my little
talk.
What l am considering is the folly
or gloating over your own unhappi-
ness. parading it before the rest of the
world and by so doing making yourself
a nuisance and a bore.
Make up your mind. if you are the
sort of person who talks but of his
sufferiugs, that you are getting to be
the sort of person who glories in his
martyrdom. But you are likely to be
alone in your glory and to make of
yourself a nuisance and a bore to the
rest of the world.

SIMPLE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
Just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
It at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft and look and feel
a hundred times better.

Police Must Exercise

Wilkes Barre. Pa, Feb. 2S.-
Wilkes-Barre policemen do not get
enough exercise. At least that is the
thought of the City commissioners,
who have just directed that every
member of the police force must de-
vote at least one hour every week in
physical culture work. Arrangements
have been made for the policemen to
take up special work in gymnasium
and attendance is compulsory unless
the policeman can present a proper
excuse to the City Commissioners.
1t is the claim of city officials that
the nature of patrolmen's work has a
tendency to make them corpulent and
less efficient in meeting emergencies.
The physical training is planned to
prevent them from becoming fat and
from growing "baY windows"
