ago by the Commissioners.
Captain King. who is in France,
was Informed by Mrs. King of her
desire to take the position as traffic

entering this duty as her part of the
war work.
Mrs King was formerly a school
teacher in Delaware, later entering
a nurses training school, and then
going into probation work in Phila-

Real Good Job.
She believes that in the police
department lies one OF the best op-

this war period and resigned her
position in the Ordnance Department
as administrative clerk at a gerry
much higher salary than she can
get in the police department in order
that she may have the opportunity
to assist the police department in

have arisen because OF the conges-

URGES STICKING TO BUSINESS

To old men who are thinking of re.
firing from active business DR.. VIII.
liam j. Robinson, editor of the Medi-
cal Critic and Guide, gives the cele-
brated advice once rendered by
Punch ito young people about to
marry" namely, "Don'tw The coun-
sci often given to those of advancing
years, even by physicians, to take
things easier" to give up this and
give up that-in short, to lead a dull,
empty, vegetable existence, is unqual-
ifiedly bad, Doctor Robinson thinks,
although, of course, there are excep-
lions and special cases. He writes:
An old man with very high blood
pressure. e., high for his age
should not engage I'm business which
Is likely to cause him great excite
ment and throw him In fits of anger;
and man who is showing symptoms
of senile dementia should not be In
trusted with important affairs: but.
generally speaking, there is no rea-
son why man should give up his
work or narrow the circle of his in
terests. merely because he has cele-
brated the SEVENTEEN or eightieth an
niversary of his birthday. .The gem
eral condition of the man, his fitness.
should be the criterion, and not his
age in years. We all know that some
people at sixty are actually older
than some are at seventy or. eighty.
1.-The advice to old men to retire
has sometimes, if followed, very dis
astrous consequences. A man of sew
enty or eighty is attending to his pro-
fession or business in a satisfactory
manner, and he feels well. Suddenly
he decides or is advised to retire and
take things easy for the rest of his
days. He does-and in few weeks

the attempts in each case were frus-

"While the police authorities have
hitherto considered sharp reprimands

that such unconsidered acts were due

furthermore be imposed without dis

with sore throats this spring. 1t Is
most unwise to allow this condition to

sickness start with "just a sore throat"
When the throat feels raw. half-hour
gargling periods. using warm salt wa
