ARE YOU BOUND FOR THE SCRAP
HEAP?

Doctor, I am not sick, but + don't
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
1t. You are not sick enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not restful, and you don't enjoy
your food as you once did And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
1culties where there really are none.
Trifles worry you, and not having
enough troubles Of your own, you
borrow some.
Of course, to a casual observer, you
seem the same, because you are try
ing to control yourself. And If you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced DOCTOR they will tell you
you only imagine things; you should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self. You som etimes think they are
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
newed vigor. You begin to wonder
If it really is your mind only. And IL
1t is so, is it the first step to insan-
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you: you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy.
but in vain. You find yourself In
the grip Of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you. when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end 1t ALL
You are very much in the same
condition as a delicately constructed
engine, which mas not been cared for
right. Put 1t in the hands Of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
1t in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at 1t, Or turn 1t over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.
Let me save you from the scrap
heap:

Making Washington a Forbidden
Town.

PRESIDENT Wilson has asked sew
eraI of the big war organizations
II they possibly can move away
from Washington. They reply that
they cannot without severe losses
OF efhclency. 1t remains for the
president to balance the disadvan-
tases OF the existing congestion
with the lost motion involved in the
proposed moves. Growth at the
capital seriously outdistances the
expansion of facilities for housing,
1eeolng and transporting the war
workers. Dormitory construction
is going ahead as fast as it can.
House to house canvasses are be-,
ing conducted by men in uniform,
The demand for leave to occupy va
cant rooming space is as emphatic
as that for the purchase of liberty
bonds. Amidst these activities il
Is stated that the monthly growth
OF the city's population is nearly
10000. One plan under considera-
ton in the exigency would draw a
distinction between essential and
nonessential visitors. Washington
would be made forbidden zone
save to those having passes to
alight from trains here. Many Of
those who come to Washington do
not come on business. 1t may be
necessary to curb them.-Thomas

China's Business Assets.

China has four great assets that

Mr.. Chao Hsin Chu. Chinese consul

Dress before the Advertising Club of
that city. FIRST she has plenty of
labor: second, Unlimited raw mate
rials; third, her soil and climate per-
NIT turning out all sorts OF goods.
and fourth, she has enormous mines
yet untouched. These resources
should attract capital and China
welcomes American capital espe-
cially.
, Chinese men do not know the sci
ence of business. They do not know
how to advertise. As a result the
United States today relies largely on
Ceylon or Japan tea, when Chinese
tea of superior flavor may be secured
just as cheaply; and this country is
consuming more silk from Japan and
France and less from China, the
home of silk, than ever before.
America should naturally gain the
ascendency in futura Chinese busi-
ness relations, but Americans must
study our problems and prepare in
order to do So
