ed States. The race for the first news
on the part of the newspapers is so
keen that the newspapers sometimes
offer large sums of money for the ex-
elusive stories Of adventures and in
view Of that fact there is, admittedly,
some danger that army and navy men,
perhaps other government employees,
viii get into the habit of expecting
great returns from newspapers and
will sell their stories to the highest
bidders. OF course, that would prove
detrimental and demoralizing to the
service, whether it be in the army or
the navy or in some civil position.
Moreover, the practice might 90 so far
as to work to the decided detriment Of
the United States government through
the revelation of information, which
ought TO be kept secret, at least from
the prying eyes Of other governments.
But in the case at hand there seems
to have been no particular good rea
son why the meagre facts regarding
the adventures of the b~slloonists
should have been suppressed until after

Needless Sickness.

There is an enormous loss to the
community on account of sickness.
Some of that sickness is inevitable.
Some of it is incurable. All of us
who do not die violent deaths will
sometime be incurably sick.
But vast amount of sickness
which men and women suffer in need
less. The more we know about the
structure of the human body, the
more do we realize that nature is on
the side of health. She loads the dice
heavily in favor of normality. But
We give her hard run for her mon
ey, and sometimes we leave her
bankrupt.
1 am not physician, neither am
am advocate of any of the popular
forms of mental healing. But I
know that multitudes of people who
NOPE and drag through life might
pick up their feet and march to
music if they had music in their
minds and resolution in their wills.
Courage and hope are health pro-
ducers. Love and joy are worth tons

but is operated by clock-work pull

the ice box to rise up into the kitch-
en-; or similar pressure causes it's
descent into the cellar. This saves

ice box can be satisfactorily used even
without an ice supply. Any other de-
