WAR AIDS GENERAL HEALTH
Sight Of Sturdy Soldiers and Sailors
on the Streets Declared to Have
Had Good Effect.

An observing physician says that
the presence in New YOrk's streets Of
many soldiers and sailors has an indi-
rect effect on the health of civilians.
He believes that most persons become
initiative when they see one Of Uncle
Sans men with head erect, shoulders
back and chest thrown out. The natur-
al result is deep breathing. and from
this comes improved digestion and cir
culatiOn, thus causing better health.
The doctor called attention to the
fact that Poe in pointing out the psy-
Geological effect Of one person on an
other in regard to acts and manner
isms said he could figure many
thoughts of persons in the streets by
watching their actions. AS an illus
tration, Poe told Of man hurrying
along in slouchy manner until he ap-
preached hunchback, when he i'm
Strengthened, the similarity
of carriage causing an unconscious
effort at the instant the hunchback's

of the normal man.
Still another influence affecting the
general health Of the public, due to the
war, is the increased number Of patri-
otto men who have gone into training
after rejection by army or navy sur
geons due to minor physical disability.
Others. too, have undergone lesser sur
gical operations. long neglected, so

MRS. Bradley Lee is a sister of the
beautiful Mary Lee, who married
Count Waldersee, former chief of the
German general staff. She was for
merly the intimate friend of the
Kalserin, and is rumored to have
taught religion to the kaiser" several
years before the war.
Mrs. Bradley Lee often visited her
titled sister In Berlin or Altoona be-
1ore the war, and had a large &C.
quaintance in the German "army SET"
among which Countess Waldersee
moved.
The German army under Won Kluck

war, and German. general and his
staff stopped in Mrs. Bradley Lees
chateau, doing no damage there, al

This fact, together with the fact
that 1t was known that Mrs. Bradley

Mrs. Bradley Lee is the widow of

France for some years, owning hand
some chateau near Chantilly. At the
beginning of the war she served as
Il nurse and assistant on an army au-
tomobile carrying portable N-ray
machine.
In those early days of the great
struggle the hospital arrangements
for wounded had not been organized.
and few X-ray machines were availa-
BILE anywhere near the front. So they
were taken from hospitals and lab0ra'
tories in Paris, mounted in big high
powered cars and sent tearing along
the front from place to place. where

soldiers.

which Mrs. Bradley Lee was attached

and during the first battle Of YpreS,
when attempts were made to drive
