To Those of Sixteen or Twenty

VXTHEN WE STOP TO CONSIDER the immense ad-
wv vantage the young folks of this time have for
learning the laws of health amazed at the small
number who know practically anything of these laws and
further astounded at the much smaller number
who at all consistent in the observance of the laws
when known.
Some attempt is made in every school to teach santa
ton and the common health rules but from own
observation this is part of the curriculum that very
rarely akes" Either the teachers do not seek to i'm
press the practical Importance Of the teachings their
efforts go for naught with the children, somehow.
Very few young FOLKS have any practical idea about
the rules of proper dressing to for the body style
ususay being absolutely the only thought in their minds
And under consideration will the vast majority forego
evenings entertainment in order to the laws
of health.
1t is firm personal belief that the most ordinary
observance of the laws of health by the young who
laying the foundation and building the bodies which they
must carry with them through life would the average
add of years to their term of fe and rob all the
years of many of the fraes and much of the suffering
for which the ignorance and houghessness of youth
responsible.
We believe every who has reached forty years
of age will agree with in this reasoning but know
that few of sixteen and twenty thereabout will read
much less give thought to this truth Is it of the
things which is only to be learned by experience? Then
forget not that experience teaches a dear school.

The Simple Metric System


VXTHAT A WORLD OF WORK AND WORRY we
w could ourselves, and particularly future
generations, by the adoption of metric system of
weights and measures We already have the system ap
piled to coinage, and who does not know the vast
superiority and of calculating money by dollars and
cents, rather than by pounds shillings and pence?
If the newspapers of the land want to do real and
lasting service to the people of America they do this
by the consistent and persistent advocacy of the metric
system of weights and for this country No
other change of slight trouble and expense could be
worth thousandth part much to the of the
country
The whole world except England, Australia Canada
and the United States weigh and by the metric
SYSTEM while Canada and the United States already
money that way. member of the World Trade Club
gives the best minute explanation of the metric sys
tenn He says:
Learn only the units, dollar meter, liter, gram :
dollar, the measure of value; meter the measure of
length; liter, of bulk; gram, for weight. You
know all about the American dollar. The metric units
meter liter, gram, like the dollar divided decmay
and multiplied decmally If you want to compare metric
units with present units the meter is 1919 than the

Your Town

Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody alse gets ahead;
When everybody works and nobody shirks
You can raise q town from the dead
And if while you make your personal stake,
Your neighbor makes one, too,
Your town will be what you want it to be
1t isn't your town, it's you!
If you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike
You will only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new;
It's knock at yourself when you knock
your town
1t isn't your town, it's you!

We hear and read a good deal in
these days about shell shock, but few
of us know what the term really
means. A common belief is that il in
dicates a shock caused by the eXplo-
sion OF "A shell very near the victim.
There is. in fact. shock of that sort,
and medical officers have even report
cd that such explosions or the wind oi
passing unexploded shells. without
the occurrence of any external
wound, have caused death. But thai
is not the usual meaning of shell
shock. The term is more often used to
denote a shock TO the nervous system
caused by the manifold terrifying and
nerve racking condition of trench
life under the fire of the enemy or
while the soldiers are waiting in sus
pense for the signal TO go over the
Top" or while they are crossing No
Mans Land behind the barrage. igno-
rant of what they will meet when
once the barrage lifts and they are
face to face with the foe.
The old conditions of open wa fare
with TWO bodies of men approaching
in full view of each other held no
such terrors. When we think of the
present conditions of battle We may
we'll wonder how anyone escapes per
manent injury TO heart or to the ner-
Nous system. Shell-shock has moth
ing to do with courage. for many of
the soldiers who contract il are the
bravest OF the brave. as witness the
crosses they have earned before their
neryes-not their nerve-gaye away.
Shell-shock is not new disease. II
has occurred in all previous wars, but
it has never occurred i'm such amount
as in this, the most of terrible wars.
The symptoms vary good deal
according to the individual and the
circumstances in which the she'll
shock, or war neurosis, as most doc
tors prefer to call it. has arisen. II
may begin suddenly. but more often
comes on gradually. starting with
SYMPTOMS that may be grouped under
the term nervousness. The man grows
restless. irritable and clumsy; his
hands are shaky. and sometimes
there is n tremor also of his head; he
perspires profusely; his face is flush
ed his heart palpitates; and he has
the appearance of a person par
alyzed with terror. The paralysis
is not a figure of speech,
for actual loss OF power of
movement in one or more of the eN-
trcmities is very common; at the
same time. or proceeding the para
lysis. the patient suffers greatly from
neuralgia. or rheumatic pains in the
limbs.
There are also mental symptoms,
varying from forgetfulnesS and con-
fusion to extreme and causeless
anxiety and emotionalsm: the man
often breaks into tears at the mere
suggestion of what he has suffered
or at the thought of returning 10 the
trenches The treatment calls for
wise handling of the patient, turning
/ his mind from his former experience,
and distracting him by amusement
and especially by interesting occu-
patton He can probably be cured
but his military life is over, for a
return to he front would almost GER
tainly cause return of the symp-
toms i'm aggravated form.
