POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. Frederick k. Green,
Editor of Health"
SLEEPING PORCHES

CLEEPING outdoors is present-day
~ fad. Some fads are foolish and
temporary. Others are so sensible
that they become permanent.
Sleeping in the open air is a fad
which ought to become permanent
habit 1t is getting back to the habits
of our ancestors and getting away from
one of the dangers Of GENERALIZATION.
| For long centuries primitive man,
| whatever rude shelters he built for
himself during the day, slept in out
door air.
But modern houses are practically
alright. Close-fitting windows and
doors shut out all air. Hot air, steam
and hot-water heating warm our
houses and Office buildings instead Of
the open fireplaces of our ancestors.
The house is made alright with
up with straw or dry leaves at the
first signs of winter Not only do the
inmates live and work all day in a
stove or furnace-heated atmosphere,
but they often sleep all night in a
close bedroom. The result is that ev-
cry winter brings its regular crop Of
coughs, colds, influenza, bronchitis,
! pneumonia and tuberculosis.
There is no medicine you can buy
that will prevent these diseases. The
| remedy is free to all. Pure outdoor
air and plenty of it all night, will re-
vive and stimulate the tired, dri '-out
throat and lungs
Here's where the sleeping porch
| comes In.
All right for millionaires, you say,
but you can't afford any such luxuries.
Not at all. Any porch corner can be
turned into any open-air sleeping room.
| Select a corner screened from the
wind and storm. as sailors wo-'d say,
on the lee side of the house. Curtains
made of canvas, old awnings or tar
paulins will secure privacy and keep
out the rain. IL you want something
more elaborate it can be glazed in
with window sashes, made so that
| they can be opened and closed easily.
An iron bed, or an army cot is all that
is needed. If door opens into this
sleeping porch, so much the better. If
not, door can be cut or window
cut down. You can undress in your
warm room, step into your sleeping
porch and close the door, sleep all
night with plenty of life-giving oxygen
to breathe, and go back to your warm
room in the morning.
If a sleeping porch must be on the
second floor, fat roof Of porch or
one-story addition can be used.
All nonsense, you say. All right.
But try it this winter and see how
much you save in lost time from sick
ness, medicines and doctors bills, and
how much better and stronger you feel
| in the morning.

DIRT EATING AMONG
CHILDREN

MOST children have perpetual ap-
NA petites. They are always hungry.
Their young bodies need plenty Of
food to build them up anG to make 1t
possible for them to grow to full sized,
strong, healthy men and women.
Plenty of milk, good bread and butter,
fruits and fresh vegetables and meat
are needed.
The healthy child is satisfied with
plenty of good food. 1t gets hungry
again, of course, but it is natural
hunger which is satisfied with ordi-
nary food.
But a few children, when they are
from one to three years old develop
a craving for unnatural things. Some
of them eat mud, coal, cinders, gravel
or mortar, wallpaper, newspaper, or
paint.
Koplik of Philadelphia thinks that
this starts from the natural instinct
of the child to put anything it gets
hold of into its mouth. We all know
that the first thing baby tries to do,
with anything 1t gets its hands on, is
put it into it's mouth. Most children
outgrow this habit. But in few,
generally those who are weakly or
anemic, the habit is kept up and the
child eats all kinds Of queer SUBJ
stances.
In most cases, these different kinds
OF dirt are comparatively harmless.
But the paint eaters and those chill
dren who have morbid craving for
painted objects may easily develop
lead poisoning.
The child may gnaw or suck paint
ed toys or may gnaw the paint off the
window stills, white furniture, crib
ratings, porch ratings. or even off
door and window frames. In one
case, reported by DR.. John c. Ruddock
of Los Angeles, boy of three years
had gnawed every bit Of paint off the
porch railing, window stills, furniture
and doors.
The lead in the paint poisons the
child just as it does the painter. 1t
becomes restless and fretful, has a
poor appetite, foul breath and pains
in the stomach and legs. Its gums
bleed and it may have commissions.
These commissions may become more
frequent and severe and may end ia
tally. In Queensland. Australia, where
frame houses are common. these cases
Of lead poisoning in officiating chill
dren became so numerous that efforts
were made 10 prohibit the use of
white lead paint in houses where 1t
was within the reach Of children.
Children from one to three should
be carefully watched. and any tendency
to officiating corrected. Paint and
painted objects should be kept out OF
their way

Foreign Minister Outlines World Aims
of New Government.

London-Great Britain's first La
Dor cabinet did not hole office long
enough to have the privilege of ap-
pearing at the time-honored lord may
or's banquet. Thus Stanley Baldwin,
the new prime minister, the principal
guest at the banquet was again the
guest of honor at Guild hall, when all
the Conservative ministers and their
wives gathered together. The Ameri-
can, Spanish, Italian and Japanese
ambassadors and the Chilean minister
were also present.
While the guests were assembling
in the library it was observed that
Austen Chamberlain, the new secre-
tary of foreign affairs, was in ami
mated conversation with the Spanish
ambassador. Later Mr.. Chamberlain,
toasting the foreign ambassadors, en-
phasized the empires desire for
peace.

POISON CIDER KILLS EIGHT
keg Believed to Have Been Used for
Fruit Tree Spray Solution.

Lynchburg, Va.-Eight members of
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, residents of the Elks National
home at Bedford about 25 miles from
here, are dead and II others are in
a serious condition from driking sweet
cider.
The cider was delivered to the home
in barrel thought to have been used
at some time to hold the poison for
spraying of fruit trees. Superinten-
dent Mosby and county officials said
they are satisfied there was no crimi-
nal intentions in using the key and
there seemed to be no likelihood of
an inquest into the deaths of the eight
men.

not having as yet been able to
get out Of the earth's atmos-
pnere. cannot testify, from actual
experience, about the heating ef-

But scientific guess is usu-
ally very different from what is
ordinarily called guesswork. 1t is
q legitimate logical inference drawn
from experimentally established
and related facts. So, finding by
experience that the suns rays
passing into an artificial vacuum,

heated, the very reasonable con.
clqsion Is drawn that IL we could
get outside the atmosphere we
should find that the same rays
there, too, produce a like heating

HEROINES OF HISTORY
The Lovely Woman Who Was Trait
By MARK STUYVESANT

0F the early Philadelphia
families there was none more
" distinguished than the Ship
pens. Edward Shipper, a Quaker,
was mayor of Philadelphia, and
had been most successful in bust
ness-so much so that he is de-
scribed as being the biggest man,
having the biggest house and the
biggest carriage in Philadelphia"
His house was called "Shippen's
mansion" and 1.-The governors
house"
This man was the ancestor of
Margaret Shipper, and her father,
Edward Shipper, was also distin-
guished-not only through his
heritage of good breeding and
wealth but on account of the
prominent position which he held
in the community. He was after
ward chief justice of Pennsyl-
Vania.
Margaret was the belle of her
time. She was. as one biographer
writes, 1.-THE toast of the town."
For she was very beautiful, viva
cious, charming and eighteen.
It Is said that during the occu-
patton of Philadelphia, many OF
the British officers were so taken
with the fair Margaret's charm
that it was with great difficulty
that they answered the call to
duty and left the quaint city
where she held court.
But soon came along the dash
ing and handsome young officer,
resplendent in his glittering uni
form. who captured her heart.
It was Benedict Arnold. the very
mention of whose name to this
very date hurts those whose
countrymen he was.
1t was supposed to be a very
fine match, entirely agreeable to
the Shippens, for in letter from
one Of Margarets' relatives to
another is written:
1--WE understand that General
Arnold, a fine gentleman, lays
close siege to Peggy's heart"
They were married. But un-
fortunately they did not Tive
happily ever afterward." Bene-
dict turned traitor to his country
when with Andre he planned the
The Washington times., 1924-03-18

surrender Of West Point to the
British.
1t has been limited that Mar
garet aided her husband in this
because she had known Andre
in Philadelphia and had CORE
spondence with him. But if one
reads the tragic scene when
Benedict Arnold told his wife
that he must flee Immediately
when he was discovered, that
possibility Of her playing a role
resembling Lady Macbeth van
ishes.
This inference is surely denied
by John Jays. statement in a let
ter in which he said:
"All the world are cursing
Arnold and plying his wife"
And Robert Morris wrote in
the same vein when he said:
Poor Mrs. Arnold. Was there
ever such an Internal villain?"
Poor Mrs. Arnold" went from
West Point, where the tragedy
took place, to her fathers house
in Philadelphia. But she was not
allowed to remain there. She was
obliged to share the hatred and
disgrace which fell upon her nus
band. She removed to New York,
where all along the journey
through New Jersey she was con-
scious of the fact that in nearly
every village her husbands effigy
had been burned.
Soon afterward, however, the
Arnolds lived in st. John, New
Brunswick, but spent the later
years of their lives in England
in misery. Margaret lived three
years after her traitor-husband
died. She was only forty-three
when she breathed her last un.
happy breath in 1904.
Margaret Arnold was a fasci-
mating woman, whose charm cap
tured all who knew her, It is
said that with all her humilia-
ton and sorrow, she was even
lovely up to the time of her
death. Her memory is cherished
as an unfortunate woman whose
life was blasted cruelty by an.
others crime.
