POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
90 by Western Newspaper Union.)
ULTRAVIOLET SUNLIGHT

TT HAS always been known that sun
light is necessary for health. just
as 1t has been known that food is nee
essary for life. But one can have all
the food he can eat and unless 1t Is
the right kind of food and properly
proportional, his health will suffer.
So one can have sunshine and unless
it is the right kind of sunshine 1t will
not be beneficial. Light, like food, Is
matter II quality as well as guam
tity.
The so-called ultraviolet rays of
the sun are less than one per cent Of
the total light given OH by the sun,
yet they are probably more important
to the body welfare than all the other
ninety-nine per cent.
These rays are called ultraviolet,
because they are found in the color
band of the spectrum beyond the vio-
let rays. They are therefore invisible
to the human eye. Yet, strange to
say, the part of the sunlight which we
cannot see is the part that has the
most marked effect on our bodies.
Sounds like a fairy story, doesn't lit
But when learned men begin to write
articles about it for scientific journals,
1t really looks as though there might
be something in it.
Twenty years ago, Hertel found that
ultraviolet rays would kill disease
germs in sixty seconds. That beats
boiling them twenty minutes, doesn't
Vt? Then Finsen invented his electric
lamp, which produced artificial ultra
violet rays and by which he cured skin
tuberculosis. Then Roller in Switzer
land and Lo Grasso In this country
found that sunlight would cure bone
and gland tuberculosis.
Now Dr. Alfred Hess Of New York,
well known authority on children's
diseases, says that these wonderful
rays will cure ricketts,. He says: These
rays are essential to the well being Of
men. The young, rapidly-growing in
FAINT thrives better when deprived of
the visible rays than when deprived Of
the invisible ultraviolet rays. Those
rays which are furnished in the small
est amount and the least intensity are
the most Indispensable"
These rays have little power of pene-
tration. Dust or moisture in the air
stops them and prevents them from
reaching the ground. Ordinary win
dow glass strains them out. So chill
dren should be kept outdoors and in
the direct sunlight, as much as pos
sible. Even then, In cities where the
air is thick with smoke, fog and dust,
the lack of ultraviolet rays must be
made up by foods containing these
rays, such as cod liver oil, or by ultra
violet light from artificial sources.

Giant SearchIight

600 feet. The new searchlight weighs
only 1000 pounds, making 1t practical
ly portable. 1t can be set in the
ground and surrounded with sand bags
so that 1t will be almost Impossible
for an airplane to bomb it. In addi-
ton to it's portability the new light
can be controlled electrically at a dis
lance, so that its operators will not
be blinded by its glare.

the story of the little old ex-Confed,"
which tells Of the coming together of
the Blue and Gray In the Khaki, is
this:
Joe Wheeler wore first the Blue This
was at West Point and in the Indian
wars Of the West. Next, when Ala
bama left the Union, he went with his
state and won fame as dashing Con-
federate cavalry leader second to none.
He accepted the verdict of the sword
and for ten terms he served Alabama
as useful member of the house of
representatives.
Hot on the news of the Names de-
struction, Representative Wheeler Of
Alabama went personally to President
Mckinley and asked to be made a
brigadier general of volunteers and
sent to the front Some Presidents
might have said "too DID," for the vet
eran was then sixty-three. But not
Mckinley. He was a veteran himself
and he knew his man. So he went
Wheeler one better and made him a
major general of volunteers.
The day General Joe was to leave
for the front he appeared in the house
in uniform. The members crowded
about him to wish him "Godspeed." 1t
was moment of intense emotion. And
as he left, the old cavalry leader, tough
as whipcord and born leader of men.
Strengthened UP, touched the Khaki on
his breast and said:
Gentlemen, this is the proudest,
happiest day of my life"
Into the thick of the fight he went,
pallid and sick and wan,
Borne in an ambulance to the front, a
ghostly wisp of man;
But the fighting soul of a fighting man,
approved in the long ago,
Went to the front in that ambulance

That was Fighting Joe Wheeler at

Honor Men of '6I

Let US not forget in our joy and
pride in the boys from France that
Memorial day is of right the day of
the men of 81. Let us not, by word
or deed, relegate these old heroes of a
score of bloody fields to corner. Let
us keep them in the forefront.
So doing is the best pledge we can
give our freshly laureled warriors from
overseas that they, too, shall be cher
ished in heart and memory after time
has crowded them into the wings of
the stage of life.-Chicago Journal.

year brings around the recurrent mir
acle of the spring, when life springs
anew from death.
Human nature changes little. Its
conventions may change; its funda
mentals remain much the same. Man
still instinctively fears death, still
mourns his dead, still honOrs those
who die for their country, still believes
in life beyond the grave, still hopes for
the day when war shall be unthink-
able.
We who fear death take heart in
The Spring with bursting sod
And cry: 20 Death, where is thy sting?
i bring new life from Cod"
We who fear death in life's sharp strife
Take courage Easter Day;
Its message is immortal life
For our poor mortal clay!
We who fear death put fear away,
Pay homage to the brave
In pageant of Memorial Day,
When pride enshrines the grave!
Yet Memorial Day-how changed Is
It!
An American day of patriotic sig
nificance, particularly and peculiarly
our very own, it was until generation
ago. Our fighting dead lay all at
home, Blue here and Gray there, oft
times Blue and Gray sleeping side by
side. And it was our own American
quarrel that time was slowly assuag-
ing, as Blue and Gray heaped up i'm
partially the blossoms of remembrance
for valor unsurpassed.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding river be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our
dead;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
Thus wrote Francis Miles Finch with
the inspiration of prophet. For then
came the blowing up of the Maine in
Havana harbor. as dastardly an out,
rage as ever blackened the records OF
civilization.
This Spanisn-American war was
none of our seeking. And Spain was
a short horse and soon curried Just
the same, ii was a war of tremendous
Importance. 1t marked forward ster
