Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
BY DR.. r. =. BISHOP
PNEUMONIA.
BY DR.. r.

/ Now Is the time to begin storing
laway good health for soon winter viii
be here with excessive demands upon
bodily health and attendant evils. colds
and pneumonia.
Practically no one in good health is
in any great danger of contracting
pneumonia under ordinary circum-
stances and conditions. It requires the
presence of germs of pneumonia and
some outside influence that is acting
to to lower the normal bodily resis-
ltance to disease.
Winter, with its cold and snow and
| ice. is one of the best of such outside
influences. because it is in winter that
we become careless of how we care
for ourselves. At this time ventilation
! is usually bad; we overwork and over
eat and get too little exercise.
The greatest predisposing cause OF
pneumonia is fatigue The tired
feeling that invariably follows pro-
longed effort of any kind is simply
protection from all overworked cells
lin the body demanding rest and repair.
They are shouting aloud that they
are not in any condition to repel the
| Attacks of disease germs and If the
germs do attack the cells viii not be
able to fight back properly as they
could were the body rested and in
good condition.
| Sleep is absolutely necessary to
every individual. Loss of sleep is ex-
tremely dangerous for it leaves the
calls exhausted by the work of the
previous day and gives them little time
to repair and rest themselves. It is
only during sleep that fatigue eKhaus-
ton is neutralized
Overeating is another harmful pros
cedure It clogs the body with a great
deal of useless material that requires
overtime work on the part of impor-
tant organs of digestion and elimina-
ton, so that the body is not able to
maintained it's defense at maximum
strength and do this other work too.
Despite prohibition. alcohol still re-
mains a great predIsposing cause OF
pneumonia. The feeling of intoxica-
ton is merely the sum total of effect
of alcohol on all the cells in the body
These cells, the standing army of the
human body, are paralyzed by alcohol
and rendered weak as the aftermath.
Their efficiency is partially de-
stroyed never to be regained except
when new cells are built up to take
their places.
SO we see that now is the proper
time to begin taking stock Of our ply
steal conditions and if they need
strengthening to Withstand the dam
gers that will be present with the com
ing winter, the present is just the
time to begin.

He writes to Senator Capper that ne is

Senator Capper that he shipped a beef

writes Senator Capper. THE trip
took me one and one-half days each

cost $3370, or less than a quarter OF

There can be no real business boom
until the farmers buying power is
that.
And the farmers buying power can
not be restored until what they re-
ceive for their products Is on a fair
level with the prices they are asked
to pay for manufactured goods.
Manufacturing wages have been
slashed
Manufacturing profit margins have
been reduced-in some cases below
the vanishing point.
Freight rates alone remain high
With lower rates, the railroads
would do a bigger volume of business.
But their net profits probably would
be greater than under high rates. Big
volume and low margins built the

solution OF the railroad problem

THE MARvEL

To grow the crops that feed you,
requires an average Of 20 inches OF
rainfall, or 1880 tons OF water to the
acre.
II rain stopped falling and we had
to haul water to farms from rivers
and lakes, the labor involved would
be 50 enormous that people would
have to stop manufacturing, abandon
their cities and their civilizations, and
all flock to the country. The effort
required to haul water and wrest a
living from the soil would be so big
that we would not have time for any
thing else.
A few showers or their absence
makes tremendous differences in hui
manity's scheme OF things, says a
bulletin OF the National Geographic
Society.
No wonder we all talk about the
weather.
No wonder we are all forever spec
ulating whether it viii rain or not.
That isn't prompted primarily by con-
Germ over the effect of rain on our
clothes and intended trips. 1t is an
inheritance from ancestors who did
no work except to get food, and to
whom shower often means 4 rescue

Hawaiian Wonder Tunnel Dug
Without the Aid of Tools

Recent clearing of a section of land
on Honolulu previously heavily COW
cred with 'guava" bushes, has brought
to light an extraordinary feat ST en-
cheering by the early Hawaiians
At an elevation of more than 1000
feet above the sea, and leading from
this damned bed of a mountain tor
rent, there runs a remarkable tunnel
cut out of the extremely hard lava
which underlies the entire district.
The tunnel has width of more than
two feet and Is some six feet in height.
It leads on down grade through the
shoulder of a steep slope, emerging
after few hundred yards upon ter
raced plateau where, many years ago,
large crops Of tag,o 4 plant akin to the
sweet potato were grown.
These terrances are now given over
TO rice cultivation and are irrigated by
the water flowing from this ancient
tunnel.
Early Hawaiians had no tools save
those made out OF stone. Hence 1t Is
believed that fires were lighted at
intervals on the shoulder Of the slope
and that the lava. being slightly soft
ened by the heat. was then dug out
with stone implements.
The native engineers apparently
then proceeded to tunnel from the
base Of each shaft to the base Of the
next one.
BY some the work is attributed to
the time OF Kaanehameha the Great.
the king who united the islands under
one sovereignty. in about the middle
OF the 18th century, but old natives
say the tunnel Is or much earlier ORR

When we shoot at q mark on tree
we take careful aim in order that no
error Of judgment may be made. We
want to make dead center hit-we
don't want the humiliation of wild
shot or of a miss.
But when we shoot a volley of crit
icism at public official, we are not
always as careful as when shooting at
a mark.
We do not always judge the dis
lance, our aim is not always correct,
and sometimes we just blaze away at
random, on the theory that people
who fill public offices are fair targets
for anything we choose to shoot at
them.
That is one reason why SO many
men of high executive ability persist
emily refuse to accept public office.
They never shoot at random them
selves, and they do not care to serve
as targets for people who do.
It requires skill and good judgment
to drive a bullet into the center OF
a mark, but any kind of a loose
tongue can pepper public official
until his grandmother wouldn'. know
him.
The human race as. yet knows but
little. It has much to learn.

OUR WOMEN AND THEIRS.

American women are more fortu-
nate than their cousins of Europe
if it can be called good fortune.
In America there are about the
same number of men as there are
women, and the latter are admired.
courted and sought after. They take
their choice.
In Europe it is different. The war
has worked great havoc with the male
population. There are many millions
more women than men, and this con-
dition is booming worse daily through
the emigration of vast numbers of the
men to other parts of the world.
The surplus women of Europe are
facing a dismal and hopeless future.
Marriage is their natural state, but
only the enactment of law authoriz-
ing polygamy will prevent their dy-
ing as spinsters.
The next time you feel dissatisfied
with conditions, sister, just contrast
your present state with that of the
women abroad.
1t is a rich field for deep thinking.

PUSHING THE RICH ALONG.

The rich man doesn't get there by
his own efforts alone. The poor mar
keeps pushing him along.
Take the matter of locomotion as
an example.
There was time when the rich
man was glad to ride on donkey OF
in an OK cart. The poor man walked
! Then some ancient genius devised
the carriage for the benefit of the
rich man. The poor man climbed into
the old cart or straddled the donkey.
But the man of nothing was not
satisfied. He wanted something. He
commenced to climb into the carriage.
In time he began to own them.
With the poor man bowling along
in his carriage, the rich man be-
thought himself of new toy-one
beyond the reach of the common
folks.
The automobile made its appear
ance, with its honk in front and its
smell trailing along behind.
The rich man was in a class by him
self. He whizzed by old Dobbin and
scared him out of his wits or drove
him into the ditch.
But it didn't last. The POOR man
was stubborn in his determination to
keep pace. He declined to stay down
Again time worked its wonders. 1t
saw the poor man climbing into the
rich mans car. Today it sees him
owning his own car.
But evolution continues its work.
The rich man is now only one of the
many. H ehas no class of his own.
Therefore he is turning his eye to-
ward the airplane as a means of loco
motion.
Some day he will abandon his car
and travel in the air-again above the
common herd.
But even that will not last. There
will be no seclusion for him even in
the clouds. The poor man will get
there, too.
1t is great race, with the itch
man sprinting to keep few laps
ahead and the poor man following
with mighty leaps and bounds in his
efforts to keep abreast.
That, if you please, is one way in
which the poor man is pushing the
rich man along.
Some day they may both attain
wings-in another world.
