THE VALUE OF PAIN

DAN is not evil, as some good but
\ mistaken people declare. On the
contrary, pain is the salvation of life.
If there were no pain, we would none
of us be alive. Pain is the red light
on the track of life 1t is a danger
signal 1t is the warning which the
body gives of danger ahead.
The amoeba is the lowest known
form of animal life. II is simply a
one-ceIled sac of protoplasm. It gets
its food by surrounding it. If good
food is offered to an amoeba, it will
stretch itself toward the food. If a
poison is put before 1t, it viii draw
back. Too bad we haven't as much
sense as the amoeba.
Headache is pain in the head. 1t is
a warning that something is wrong
somewhere. The trouble is to find
the cause.
You wake up in the morning with
a headache. 1t may be due to indi-
gestion. Something you ate yesterday
has disagreed with you. You may be
suffering from constipation and be
poisoned by the absorption of waste
products that should have been cast
out. You may have overtaxed your
eyes. Whatever the cause, you know
that your head hurts and you want it
stopped.
SO you go to the medicine closet
and get out your favorite headache
tablet, pill or powder. You don't
know what's in it or how it works
but YOU know that if you take enough
of it. the headache will stop.
An equally sensible way would be
to have some one hit you on the head
with piece of lead pipe. That
wor Id stop the headache. but it might
also stop you, permanently. So viii

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL.
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
HOW WE SPEND A THIRD
OF OUR LIVES

THE human body needs eight hours
= sleep day. This means that one
third of our lives are spent In bed. A
man Of sixty has slept twenty years.
Rip Van Wrinkle had nothing on him.
But there are different kinds Of
sleep. 1t may be sound, unbroken and
refreshing. or it may be ftful and
broken, leaving us In the morning
weary and unrested The measure
of the value of sleep is the extent to
which it refreshes us, repairs the
wear and tear Of the day and starts us
out in the morning as strong and Wig
orous as we were the day before.
If you were buying chair in which
you were going to sit for thirty years.
you'd be sure and get a comfortable
one, wouldn't you? No matter how
handsome a bed may be, If it isn't com
Portable it's a poor bed.
SO much for the bed the sleep ma
chine. How about the sleeper? The
normal healthy person, when bedtime
comes should be able to lie down, close
his eyes and lose consciousness almost
Immediately. This is the way ami
mails sleep. This is the way savages
sleep. But we are not animals or sim
Of worries, trials and cares. Many Of
us, instead of forming the habit of
sleeping, have formed the habit of not
sleeping. We take our troubles to bed
with US.
Don't transact business in bed. That
is as foolish as it would be to sleep
at your work bench.
Another cause Of sleeplessness is
lack of fresh air. No one can sleep
soundly and restfully in an atmosphere
from which most of the oxygen has
been burned up by stoves, furnaces and
lamps. Open the windows wide enough
to give you plenty of outdoor air. Bet
ter too much than not enough. If this
makes the room cold. put on another
blanket. If the cold comes up through
the mattress, cover the springs with
a layer of newspapers. If the draft is
too strong move the bed or put a
screen in front of the window. But be
sure that you can't stay for eight
hours in a close, alright room, and
get really rested.
Much has been said about the eff
feet of digestion on sleeping. Here
we are ON uncertain ground The av-
erage person viii sleep best If several
hours elapse between suppertime and
bedtime Some people sleep better
If a glass of warm milk is taken at
bedtime This is largely matter of
personal habit.
Whatever you do, don't take drugs
to make you sleep. Taking medicine
to make you sleep is like taking med
icine for a headache. ANY drug which
is powerful enough TO stop head
ache is powerful enough 10 do harm.
A comfortable bed, a cool. well ven
tilated room, quiet evening, a tran
gull mind. and sleep viii come, as it
should, easily and naturally.

"At times when it has seemed

them. 1t was the Legion that
came to the rescue last Patriots
day in Boston. 1t rallied a pa

was being circulated at that
