MONEY AS | HEALTH ASSET
BY Dg. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON

About 90 per cent of the people healthy. Making person healthy is first of all teaching him to thoroughly understand natures laws,
 People do not wilfully expose them- selves to germs or disease, when they know how to avoid these dangers. One Of the first aids to normal fnnctioning body organism is con tented state of mind.
 No one condition. upon which this mental state rests as q good founda- tion. tends to produce this desired state more than ones finances. The amount of money you have or are saving for a rainy day or old age, the ability to give financial advantages to those you love or in fact the feeling you have within your body that you are on the way to health by the money route, assures your protection in case of sickness.
 In other words. it is really true that your health does to a great extent depend on your freedom from the worry of money matters. The poor are often healthier than the rich, but that is not the real question at issue. How many do you know who are half sick or in the doldrums of despair on account of financial worries?
 Worry or nervous condition docs more to break down your constitution or body health than you imagine. This is not q bank ''ad," but a few facts from the T.. $. census may help you get an idea that many of our people are far from good health.

TWO BABIES KILLED
Fatality in Worcester HoSpital-One Mother Stands Aghast as Her
 Baby is Killed.

Worcester. Mass. Jan. 14.-Caught between the door and the ceiling of a runaway" elevator two babies were crushed to death in the city hospital last night, while the mother of one frantically watched her baby die. Miss Ruth Peck, q student nurse, who was in charge of the children. is under n doctor's care suffering from shock.
 The babies, one a daughter, born December 2l. to Mrs. Edward Young, and the other son, born January 3, to Mrs. Harvey Curry, with seven other infants were in their way to the nursery after having been with their mothers. The nine children had been placed in a long crib on truck and wheeled onto the elevator.
 Officials said the elevator was slightly below the floor level and Miss Peck gave it slight tug to bring it up q few inches. The cage shot up and the crib slid partially out. Before the lift was stopped the two babies had been crushed against the ceiling. The other seven escaped injury. Three separate investigations were started after the accident, by the police, dis trict attorney and hospital authori- ties.

MAY LIMIT STUDENTS
Suggestion Made That Enrolment at Harvard be Curtailed as Solution to Oyercrowding.

Cambridge. Mass. Jan. l4.---A sug- eestion that Harvard university limit at least temporarily, the number of students in the college as a solution 10 the problem of increased appli- cants seeking admission, was made by President A. Lawrence Lowell in his annual report today to the board Of overseers.
 "The question has presented itself this autumn In an acute form" said Mir. Lowell. The idea of limiting the number of students in the college is not agreeable, and no one would pro- pose it as a finality. or suggest that there Is here some permanent size of maximum usefulness; but for time the conditions of the teaching staff and equipment may render it impos- sible to do full justice to more than a definite number of students. That is, In fact. our situation today. as 1t is also Yale, Princeton. Dartmouth and other colleges which have set limit to the number of their students
 We have been brought for the present 10 a position where either the service we can render to our students must be reduced. or their number for q time must be limited; and between these alternatives NO can hardly hesi- tate"

DISCUSS R. R. STRIKE
England's Great Interest Today Cen ters Around Meeting of the Trades Union Council.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Jan. 14-Public attention today was fixed as much upon the special meeting of the trades union council, called to discuss the threat ened railroad strike. as upon the po- litical situation, not only because of the influence the council may be able to exert when averting a strike. which the public universally dIeads, but be- cause of the possibility of political events being immediately affected by the action of the locomotive men.
 Should efforts to placate the latter fail and should the strike be called at the weekend, as is expected. the Baldwin government will probably still hold power and the question of turning it out at moment when the whole country's transportation sys- tenn is in chaos, may. it is thought in some quarters, cause those eager 10 succeed the present ministry to pause. On the other hand it is recognized that if the strike should not delay la- bor's accession to power it will im- mensely complicate the situation for the new government.
 The whole position at the moment is much involved and it is impossible to forecast the outcome. The best in- formed opinion, however does not re- gard the retention of the present gov ernment office as probable develop ment.

ANOTHER BONUS BILL
New Measure is Based on Insurance Premiums Paid and Also on Liberty
 Bond Subscriptions.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Another sol diers' bonus bill, was proposed today in the senate. It is sponsored by Senator Bursum, republican, New Mexico, and calls for return of the veterans of family and insurance al- lotments deducted from their pay and a percentage of their subscriptions to Liberty bonds while in service, plus additional compensation at the rate of s2O d month for each month of service.
 Payments would be made in cash over a period of four years, one fourth of the veterans to be paid each year in full or in the form of insur- ance. as they might elect. The insur- ance would be payable at death on the basis of s400 for each $100 of cash due or the policy might be sur rendered at the end of 20 years at its cash value. based upon annual pre- miums plus 1 per cent interest.
 Estimating that 75 per cent of the veterans would elect to take insur- ance, Senator Bursum calculates the cost to the treasury at Si25, ,000, 900 each year for the first four years and s60,000.o0o annually for the succeed ing 16 years.

 In each instance of advertising and letter writing Lincoln is said to have used typewriter with a green ribbon, and it was through that means that the police were aided in fastening the staying of Mrs. Lincoln on him.

CONFESSES MURDER,
 DESTROYED CORPSE
". J. Lincoln Tells of Staying
 Wife as She Killed Brother

Aurora, H., Jan. 14.-Warren J. Lincoln, lawyer. horticulturist and dis tant kinsman of Abraham Lincoln, confessed last night that he killed his wife, Lima, dismembered her body, and burned it, January 10. 1923, along with that of her. brother. ' Byron Shoup, who. he maintained, had been shot to death by Mrs. Loncoln
 Appears and Disappears
 Lincoln disappeared from his home April 30 last, and his wife and Shoup were suspected of his murder. The wyer-horticulturist suddenly reap pcared on June 10. explaining his ab- sence by charging Mrs. Lincoln and shoup had kidnapped him, only to disappear again four months later when whispers of suspicion that he possibly had slain his wife and her brother reached him. A fortnight ago the Aurora police told the Associated Press that they were searching for Lincoln to question him about the dis appearance of his wife and Shoup, and when he applied for position in Chi cago last Thursday, learned of his ad dress through the firm with which he sought employment.
 ConfesscS to Murder
 Arrested Saturday, and confronted with charges that he had done away with the brother and sister. Lincoln confessed, concluding with I'm glad 10 get that load off my soul"
 Lincoln collapsed as he uttered the last, words of his confession and the police left part of his story unre- lated. The plant to force the conclu- sion that he had met with foul play shirt smeared with blood, his night cap similarly dscolored, and a blood stained Indian club, along with a. stnined glove his wife had worn, and a pool of blood in his greenhouse, was left for later explanation. He was not asked to re-enact the double killing, because of his weakened condition, but he told of it in vivid language.
 Accuses Dead Wife

He fell and l grabbed a poker. First knock cd the gun from her hand. Then 1 swung for her head. cut up their | bodies and burned them next night"
 Lincoln, in his confession, told how he had observed with satisfaction the | apparent police and newspaper ac- ceptance of the theory that he had been murdered. He told how he travelled about the country in fancied l security and of his return because he l needed money.
