HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. FREDERICK Il. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
UNNECESSARY NOISES
OOOOOOOOOOOOC OOOOOOOOOOOO
co. 1925. Western Newspaper Union.J

COMING down the boulevard this
- morning, l was stopped at the
street crossing by parade. The po-
lice, of course, halted the traffic on
both sides of the crossing. In a few
minutes, long line of autos, trucks
and busses were standing on each OF
the cross streets.
The procession was short one and
did not require more than eight or ten
minutes to pass. But even this short
delay was too much of strain on
the nerves of the automobile drivers.
Some of them began honking their
horns and, at once, like lot of frogs
in pond, every driver turned loose his
syren. The result was that for five
minutes, every one within hearing had
his nerves tortured with an internal,
ear-splitting and entirely unnecessary
racket.
One can understand, even though he
may not entirely sympathize with or
enjoy, the noise made by small boy
who urges stick along picket fence
or lets off cannon crackers under ones
window. This Is simply the irressist-
ible impulse Of the average boy to
make noise. But why did, two or
three hundred grown and supposedly
sensible men keep up this awful and
unnecessary din for full five minutes?
Did they think it would shorten the
procession or make 1t go faster? Not
one of the cars could move until the
way was clear, and the police were
certainly not going to allow them to
proceed until the parade had passed.
What possible good did it do any Of
them to keep their horns going?
There were probably two reasons:
the first was the nervous inability to
sit still and keep quiet for few
minutes, and the other was the nerv-
GUS impulse of each driver to do some
thing to show his displeasure. Ger
tainly none of these men, if he stopped
to think, would have believed for q
moment that making a noise did any
good
On the contrary, it did harm both to
LACe AuCA WIZ iuduc IL anu W LAC
less bystanders. Sound is heard in
the brain. Loud, long-continued and
unnecessary noises are just as firing
to the body as are too-bright or too
glaring lights, or long-continued men,
tai or physical exertion.
Unnecessary noises are not only
waste of energy, but they are also
needless strain on the nerves. We
have enough noise in present-day life
that cannot be avoided. In the city,
the rattle and crash of street cars,
elevated trains and trucks, in the coun-
try, the noises of animal life. You
can't muffle every COW or dog, or put
maxim silencers on all the ROSTERS.
Every locality has its own necessary
noise and, with few exceptions, they
are enough. Don't add to the wear
and-tear on your own and others
nerves and brains by making any that
are unnecessary.

VACATION PRECAUTIONS

A s SOON as warm weather comes
\ all sensible people begin to plan
for some kind of vacation. The
vacation habit is growing every year.
and rightly. No matter what ones
work may be or how interesting, or
how hard it may be to get away from
1t, the mind and the body need and
should have q few days or few
weeks of change.
Probably the automobile Is doing
more to develop the vacation habit
among American people than any
other one thing. A vacation always
means a change of location. This re-
quires some kind Of transportation.
The family flivver makes it possible
for a few days, without having to buy
railroad tickets or to engage rooms
at a hotel. In the car or on the run
ming board can be packed tents, BEDS
provisions, cooking utensils, guns, fish
ing tackle and all the other things
needed for a few days Of outdoor life.
Most people going on such trip
need no advice as to clothing, bedding
or food. Their own desire for comfort
will lead them to look after these
things. But few think seriously about
protecting their health.
Living outdoors, there is not as
much liability to colds or other respir-
atory diseases as at home. The per
centage of accidents Is probably not
as great as in driving at home. The
principal dangers on summer camp
ing trip are from bad water and waste.
Water is, of course, a daily, almost
hourly necessity. You are used to get
ting your water from your own well
or hydrant. But you can't take them
along with you. You must use such
water as you can get.
On short trips you can take a suffi-
cient amount of pure water with you.
Otherwise, unless you know where 1t
comes from and know that it is pure,
the only safe rule is to boil the water.
1t is not safe to use unboiled water
from any spring, well, brook or creek
along the way. 1t may look clear and
clean, it may be cold and refreshing
and taste fine. but it may also be full
OF typhoid germs. The more thickly
settled the country the greater the
danger
Much of our typhoid today is sum-
mer or vacation typhoid. What shall
it profit a man to take two weeks
away from his business to get rested
and then take six weeks from his bust
ness to get over an attack of typhoid?
For any water that you are not sure
of there is only one safe rule-bon 1t

Night Life by

BY Universal Service.

swAMPSCOTT, Aug. %. - Gay
midnight parties by fashionable young
debutantes of the North Shores ex-
elusive society and marine officers OF
the guard sent here to protect Presi-
dent Coolidge during his stay at
White Court are expected to lead TO
an investigation by marine headquar-
tiers at Washington.
Charges of parties alleged to have
been held in the marine headquarters
at Galloups Point, near White Court,
are ready to be preferred by guards
men who have risen to the support OF
their two fellow privates found asleep
on duty at midnight at the summer
White House.
One of the sleeping marines charges
he was kept on duty at White Court
and the nearby marine camp three
days without rest. The marines DO
four hours at White Court, guarding
the approaches and are allowed two
hours respite. This marine claims
he was kept on duty most of the pre-
food and beverages to marine officers
and their social visitors in a lively
party at Galloups Point.
He and other marines claim they
were compelled by their superiors to
take down the covers of their pup
tents and make an arch through which
the women visitors could enter Off.
GERS quarters without detection.
Since Naval Lieutenant J. E..
Wright Of the presidential yacht May
flower made a midnight descent upon
White Court and found two guards
men asleep, a feud has sprung up be-
tween the men and their officers. The
men assert they have been provided
with poorly cooked food Of inferior
quality, and that they have been left
to shift for themselves without orders
from their superiors. who, they charge,
have been INDUCING in midnight
sprees.
The forty marines sent here as
special guard for the President were
represented as veterans selected be
cause of their valor overseas and their
experience at foreign embassies. The
marines say that as matter Of fact,
most of them are rockies and that they
have been taught little by their su.
peTiors.
The two sleeping marines have been
ordered for summary court-martial.
Their buddies say they will ask for
an investigation by Washington of the
entire outfit here.
