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 fitful 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 comfortable
one, wouldn't you? No matter how
handsome 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 anil
mails sleep. This is the way savages
sleep. But we are not animals or SIM
pie savages. We have had day full
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
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, air-tighr room, and
get really rested.
Much has been said about the ef-
feet of digestion on sleeping. Here
we are on uncertain ground. The av-
erage person will sleep hest if several
hours elapse between suppertime and
bedtime. Some people sleep better
if a glass of swarm 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 to do harm.
A comfortable bed, cool. well ven-
tilated room, quiet evening, tran
quill mind, and sleep will come, as it
should, easily and naturally.

Brevities of Worlds News Sent By
Cable and Wireless.
Giant DIRICIBLE
CROSSES OCEAN
Wireless Messages Keep World
in Touch With DirigibIe
During Flight.

New York-The Zeppelin company's S
pride of the air, the dirigible ZR-3,
left Friederichshafen for a nonstop
flight to the United States.
The giant airship, built for the Uni
ted States navy, had as her goal the
great hangar prepared for her at
Lakehurst, N. ].
A slight accident gave the crew an
anxious few moments when one of
the gas cells was torn over the Azores
but it was speedily repaired The rip
came when the ship scared down from
5000 feet, to which it had risen to
valve off some gas. The tear was
due to descending too rapidly.
Drastic safeguards against possible
Inflammation and explosion of the hy-
drogen inflated ZR-3 went into force
at Lakehurst, at orders of Acting
Commander NJ. R. Pierce.
Until the giant dirigible can be
emptied of the treacherous gas every
lesson taught by the tragic fates of
her predecessors, the R-SS, the Roma,
and the Dixmude, will be kept in
mind by every man on Lakehurst
field.
The fact that ZR-3's getaway took
place on Columbus day was taken by
the Americans aboard as good omen,
and the Germans, too, when they
learned the significance of the date.
This led to the suggestion that the
dirigible be christened Columbus, or
America, after delivery to the United
States navy.

THE VALUE OF PAIN

DAM 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. rain 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 1t is simply a
one-celled sac Of protoplasm. 1t gets
it's 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 it, it will 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 1t
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 a piece of lead pipe. That
wopld stop the headache, but it might
also stop you, permanently. So will
the Headache cure" only it will take
little longer.
Any drug which is powerful enough
the cause is powerful enough to hurt
you. Most of the popular headache
remedies" contain some kind of coal
tar product. They may stop the pain,
but they are practically all Of them
dangerous heart depressants.
What would you think of railroad
engineer who got off his engine and
smashed the red light with a club.
That's what you are doing wheil
you kill the headache with drugs A
headache is warning to you that
you are doing or have done something
which your body protests against.
Find out what it is and stop doing it..
Don't smash the danger signal with
a club.

EMPLOYMENT MAKING GAINS
Improved Agricultural Condition Re-

Washington Industrial employ

the United States during September,
the Labor department announced in
a summary of conditions for the
month. 1t was indicated that in sew
eral sections an ample supply of farm
labor still was available.
In Massachusetts, the report said,
increased activity in the shoe and
textile industries was the feature.
while in most other New England
states improved conditions were
noted. Manufacturing activities were
declared to be expanding in several
important industries in New York and
the surplus of semi-skilled and COM
