CAN STOP ANNOYING HABIT
How Habitual Snorer May Cure Him.
self Of Practice That Is Injurious
to the Health.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, who conducts
department OF foods, sanitation ana
health in Good Housekeeping, invites
inquiry from readers, and In doing SO
laws himself open to surprising re-
quests. A woman recently asked the
doctor why her sister snored and how
she could be cured Of the unpleasant
accomplishment. Doctor Wiley gave
the following explanation of snoring:
Snoring takes place only when the
mouth Is open and almost always when
one Is sleeping on his back. Adenoids
or other distractions to the nasal pas
sages ere frequent causes of snoring.
Usually snoring is prevented by sleep
ing on ones side. Mechanically an elias
tic band under the chin and over the
top of the head will keep the mouth
closed. The annoyance which Is caused
to other people by snoring Is by no
means the worst feature of this trou-
Bile. The air that enters the lungs d.
rectly through the mouth Is more like
" to carry dust and infection into the
lungs than If the breathing takes place
through the nasal passages. These
passages are tortuous In character
and the particles carried In the air
stick to the mucous membranes of the
air passages. Thus the lungs are pro-
tected from Infection

WHY viii Should Be Exercised.

There Is only one way to keep the
will active and that Is by exercising
1t. The will Is like the muscles, for
even the finest Of athletes soon gets
out Of condition unless he exercises.
A man ought to do every day some
thing that he does not care to do,
lust for the sake of exercising his
will. That sort of exercise keeps 1t
in condition, ready for the harder
things of life when they occur, and,
above all. prepared for emergencies
that may spring up. The doctrine OF
preparedness is much better under
stood now than 1t was at the begin
ming of last year 1t Is as true for
the individual as the nation. II may
cost good deal Of time and energy
and money, but 1t saves In the end.
