TRAVEL FOR HEALTH,
BY n. ADDINGTON BRUCE.

You have been to the doctor to be

couraging.
There is nothing radically wrong"
he has told you to your great relief
All you need is rest and a change Of
scene. 1 should advise you to travel
for while
Now you are plunged from the
heights of joy to the depths of gloom
There is nothing you would rather do
than travel. But you cannot afford to
leave home. You cannot afford to
quit your work.
Do not despair too soon. It still is
possible for you to gain the hygienic
benefits of travel-without leaving
your home.
Do you remember that curious
that used to be on everybody's parlor
table? Photographs seen through it
no longer appeared fiat, but had a re-
markable aspect of solidity.
Probably you yourself have often
looked into q stereoscope in a casual.
suggest is that you make systematic
use of it, according to definite plan.
If you were free to go travelling in
person for your health. where would
you most prefer to travel? To the
Holy Land, you say?
Very we'll.
Buy three or four good books of
travel describing the Holy Land as it
now is. Buy also a good set Of
stereoscopic photographs of the Holy
Land You will find them numbered,
so that with their help you can make
an orderly tour.
Put one of them in a stereoscope
and begin to study it. seating your
self in q comfortable position and in
quiet room. Don't be content with
looking at it steadily for five
minutes or more. picking out as many
details as you can.
Now lay it aside, and take up your
travel books. Turn to their refer
ences to the scene which you have
what they say about it Then, with
the microscopes help, view it once
more. Again read about it. to inten-
sify your Impressions. Once more
look at it in the stereoscope
This will keep You actively-and

ess with another picture. Become as
familiar with it, through reading
and through looking. as with the first.
Presently you will find that you
have indeed obtained an excellent
substitute for travel-that actually
you are travelling. so far as your
mind is concerned. And, SO realistic
are the stereoscopic effects. You may
even at times have a feeling that YOU
are bodily as well as mentally in the

In any event. gazing in quiet con-

AND IS WRESTLING
WITH HOUSING PROBLEM
Suggested Government Build
Homes to Sell on Long Time Be
Given Outright to Soldiers.

LONDON, December S (Corresond-
ence of the Associated Press).-One OF
the unusual plans suggested for
bridging the transition period while
England is being changed from war
to a peace basis is proposal that the
government should build houses and
either sell them on long time pay
ments or furnish them outright, par
ticularly to soldiers.
England is wrestling with many OF
to same housing schemes that were
put forward in the United States
when thousands of workmen were
called to centers Of war activities.
In the opinion of Sir J. Tudor Wal
tiers, a member of parliament who
has given much thought to housing,
England faces a shortage of 100000
houses in addition to her normal
requirements of 100000 new ones
thousands in the building trades
have gone into other work as all
war started. Materials are at exorbi-
tant figures or unobtainable. 1t is
much more difficult for prospective
small house owner to finance con-
struction than it was your ana a naI1
One Of the plans suggested Is that
the government pay the householder
the difference between what his house
viii cost to construct Immediately
after peace is declared and its estim-
ated value five years hence.
Any plan that will result In large
expenditure of public money will be
met with considerable opposition
among members of the. government.
This was made very clear when a
statement was made in the house OF
commons that the government should
give ali war workers a six-months
holiday with full pay as one means OF
solving the tremendous problem OF
neace basis. At least one member OF
the government referring to that
statement. said that the government s;nnn,'t
financial obligation in its efforts to
bridge the transition period as quick
" and fficienuy as possible.

How is Congress going to start the new year?
A lot of good Americans have been pretty well
peeved at sufragsts in general account of the late
"picketng' Of the President by small body OF women
STYLING themselves the National Woman's party
However, this is a dead issue now-and one not
likely to come to life again. leaders OF the party say.
In the meantime the question of the vote is vital

dreds of thousands of women all over the United

Congress has got consider, and without letting any
small personal pique on of the recent unpeas
antnesses at Washington enter into the consideration
1t is to the women and to the men, of his district,
be it in Maine in California that each and every
Congressman is responsible
The question of the Federal amendment is for
Congress to settle. Doubtless many Congressman are
now taking counsel the subject. How will they
start the new year? Will they start it fearessy and
unequivocably by voting for the amendment and

and then wind up by doing nothing:
The only answer that can be given far is that it
will all depend upon the and breadth OF tine average
Congrcssmans mind But in these days OF big things,
and Of doing big things in big way it can at least be
reasonably hoped that that mind has expanded and de-
