IF you hit your thumb
with a hammer you
wouldn't blame your
thumb for hurting.
Then why blame your
husband whose nerves
may have been pounded
by coffee, and whose rest
probably has been broken
by the irritation of the
caffeine It contains?
IF you stay awake half
the night you don't feel
any too cheerful
The caffeine of coffee
and the them of tea are
known drugs. IF their use
IS persisted IN, sooner or
later the nervous system
may give way.
Then you may have
insomnia, or disturbed
sleep. Your nerves and
tissues will be robbed of
that stability essential for
normal and happy living.

He is the younger of Peters two sons,
the elder, George, having been forced

because of his outrageous life.
Alexander seemed a modest and
inconspicuous youth when he was
made regent and heir apparent. But
he has developed marvelously since
then. Jugo-Slavia, made up as 1t is
of Croats, SloveneS and Serbs-all of
the same blood but by no means of

movement.
Will Spread Message.
The sOciety's organization is an ex-
ceptionally efficient one, and the mes
sage Of the Cancer week" will be car
ried to the remotest corners of the
country. 1t includes regional direc-
tors. state chairmen and local commit
tees, all working under the direction
of DIR. Charles A. Powers, president.
Assisting Doctor Powers are such men
of note as Dr.. Robert Able, one of the
foremost authorities ON cancer In
America; DR.. James Ewing, patholo-
gist of Cornell university; DR.. G. E.
Armstrong of Montreal. noted Canadi-
an surgeon; DIR. Joseph G. Bloodgood
of Johns Hopkins university, Balti-
more; DR.. William j. Mayo of Roches-
ter, Mimi; DIR. Clement Cleveland, for
many years head of the Woman's hos
pital in New York; DR.. Francis Car
ter Wood director of the Crocker
cancer research laboratory, Columbia
university, and head of the board of
scientists. and many other prominent
specialists.
Since its inception the society has
maintained that accurate information
concerning cancer is the best means
known to lower the mortality of this
disease. 1t was believed, and it has
since been proved. that a large num-
Der Of cases can be cured If taken in
hand early, and It's efforts have been
directed toward urging persons to seek
competent advice the instant they rec
ognize any of the symptoms made
plain by the society's campaign of ed
ucation. In this policy the society at
first met antagOnism from that ele-
ment which considered cancer a dis
grace and which believed the less said
about 1t the better.
Decrease in Deaths.
Those interested in this educational
are extremely encouraged
by the fact that during the last three
years deaths from cancer have, for
the first time in two decades, shown
q slight decrease. 1t does not claim
that all this decrease is due to it's
campaign. but it believes that its cam
paign has had something to do with
it, and intends to push its work in the
future even more vigorously than in
the past.
Some idea of the ravages of cancer
may be had from the fact that il
causes ten out of every hundred
deaths In this country where the vic
tins are more than forty years old (;
that about $1,000 deaths a year are
recorded, and that the mortality among
women is considerably greater than
among men. Women are exceptional
~ susceptible to this disease, but 1t is
gratifying to know that If the symp-
toms are early recognized a great ma
jority of cases may be cured. Be
cause people are better informed, early
diagnoses are more common now than
In the past. and, moreover the methods
Of treatment. which now Include radium

Taxation Worries
Not only that, but the Republicans
realize that their dilatoriness is not
merely temperamental and not merely
a lack of leadership, but is due to a
real fear on their part of the conse-
quences of what they have to face
and the lack of a thought-out program
for doing what they have promised to
co. Taxation worries the Repubh-
cans probably more than anything
else. The Republicans did not prom

next door to ours and l saw that they
had a girl about my age. She looked
nice and thought she and | could a
good time together.
When we met out in TIE yard she
would speak to me, and so one night
! asked her to go to the picture show
with me, and she said she didn't care
to. Since then she has been very cool
My feelings were hurt. Do you think
she would do that if she were a nice

THE DIGESTIVE MUSCLES.

Last week in talking about poor di-
gestion as a cause of premature old
age, we got as far as a consideration
of exercises to strengthen the diges.
tive muscles of the stomach and alb
domen, and some of these l want to
give today But almost any exercise
affects these muscles indirectly, nat
urally for their own good.
Lie fat on your back on sofa, a
floor or bed, without any pillow I'M
der the head. Bend the head forward
as far as you can, then drop it back
TO horizontal position again. When
you lie back you relax. This will
Tgreatly strengthen all these muscles.
Even better than this is the one
exercisethat | talk about so much
which l consider the best single eX.
ercise that can be performed. This is
| to lie flat on the floor with the feet
supported under some heavy object
and with the hands on the hips. Raise
yourself to a sitting position without
the aid of the hands and with the
spine straight. Lie back slowly.
A decor tells me that another eX
| cellent exercise is to place the hands
, on the abdomen and rub back and
forth much in the way you would rut
over a washboard. This friction brings
the blood to the stomach, which aids
digestion and, incidentally, reduces
the fatty deposit over the stomach
| Therefore, this is an excellent thine
! for the stout man or woman to prac
/ tice.

two yeast cakes each day. The only
thing you need is the development
/ that can be obtained through a course
