SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

You, If an advanced high school
4 or college student, should re-
member the old adage, 'in time of
peace prepare for war" In other
words, during the tranquil months
of study, when you really can
study, prepare for the barbaric
ordeal of examination" with
which an unintelligent educational
regime will confront you at the
end of the term. This means,
first. that you must look after
your general health and, next,
that you must get yourself in the
proper frame of mind. / am
writing every day about divers
and sundry ways to keep yourself
we'll in a general bodily sense.
wish now to give you some hints
about maintaining that special
bodily condition that we speak
of as normal mental state.
The student who fears oral ex-
aminations should seek out a pri-
Vate coach with stern rude man.
ner and a capacity for Raging.
He should remember that the ex-
aminer who scares him with rough
ways does not necessarily mark
harder than his gentler colleague.
but on the other hand the harsh
in manner are not necessarily soft
in action.
Certain students complain that
they find themselves in pecu-
Iin RI HV,l1n
they come up for examination.
They can best deal with this diff
ficulty by thoroughly revising their
methods of preparation. For some
people examining during the last
week is invariably bad. for others
it is invaluable. Whether it will
be good or bad depends on what
is called the reaction time" of
memory. If you find you can re-
member facts and figures best a
few hours or days after commit
ting them to memory, then work
almost up to the day of the test,
CHANGING quickly through note
books or 'crams" which cover the
whole field of the subject
If, however, you remember best
a week or so after revising your
work. slack off in the last week
or take a holiday. Even il you
belong to the former class you
will probably be the better il you
spend the whole of the day be-
fore the examination in quiet
recreation. Most students, I'M
fortunately, find this difficult to
believe. TO work steadily for
three or six months up to an ex-
animation and then put on extra
pressure for the final three, two
or one, weeks is manifestly put
ting a strain on the mind which
it cannot he expected to bear.
The holiday TO refresh nerve cells
and fibres and put them in good
fighting trim must come some
where within a month of the eX-
animation.
For the student who really be
lieves that final examining is
worth his while, or is too anxious
to do without it, a week Or ten
days holiday should always be
taken a fortnight before the ex-
animation. He must take no
books away with him, must ar
range to be with pleasant com"
panions who are not studying the
same subject, and To have plenty
of healthy occupa ton to Hll MS
mind. AS far as it is humaniy
possible, the examination should
be forgotten during this holiday.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland
Ask Him Another

WHY do lovers waste SO much
w of their courtship in asking
each other futile and foolish ques-
tons?
do you love me? Why do you
love me? Do you love me as
much as ever?
Ringing the changes on these
liz merely a. pleasant way of kill
ing time and feeding your vanity;
whereas there are a hundred vital
questions which you might be
asking with real profit. Why not
put some of the following up to
each other, for instance?
Do you use keen analytical
Judgment or just plain brute
force in squeezing the tooth
paste?
How long does it take you 10
dress? To find your shoes? TO
assemble your face?
Do you eat crackers In bed?
Are YOU a humane being or a
bathroom monopolist? Do you
have to sing with your shower
bath?
DO you prefer the piano or the
noted fern as a receptacle Tor
burning cigarette stubs. Have
YOU a. passion for throwing
lighted matches in the waste
paper basket?
Do you eat your eggs in care
free way, or have you one-track
mind on the egg question!
Does one cocktail make you feel
like a silver tongued orator, or
does it just put you to sleep
after dinner?
Does the sight of food arouse
your fighting spirit? DO you
regard the dinner gong as call

What is your personal feeling
in regard to a laWnmower? A
vacuum cleaner? A washing
machine? Onions? Peppermints?
Or have you only an academic
interest in such things?
Do you regard a can opener as
. the most vital cooking utensil?
Can you open a milk-bottle with
out starting a flood? Have you
any bump of location when it
comes to finding your own things?
Who, in your opinion has the
divine right to the morning news
paper? Do you believe that a
wife should be her husbands
keeper, his guardian, his valet,
or his yes.woman? Are you in
favor of the companionate mar

Limited train
IS HELD UP BY
CHICAGO BANDIT
Robber Gets $4,000 Loot,
Makes Escape Before
Alarm Is Sounded.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Over
land Limited, crack Northwestern
Railroad passenger train, was held
up by one bandit here last night.
The bandit, who had boarded the
west-bound train at the Terminal,
posing as a friend bidding good-by
to a passenger, robbed it as it sped
through the city and escaped before
it passed the city limits.
Amount of the loot was uncertain,
but railroad officials estimated it be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000.
The bandit lined up the passen-
gers riding in the observation car,
collected their wallets and jewelry,
then went into the dining car, rail-
road detectives said. There he
held up the steward, pulled the
emergency cord to stop the train,
leaped into the darkness and es-
capped.
The conductor of the tt ain, George
Lane, casually observed the robber
as the train pulled away from the
station, bound for the West coast.
AS the train gathered speed in its
westward course through the city,
the stranger sauntered to the OBJ
servation platform and stood among
passengers there.
A few minutes later he turned his
back and adjusted a white mask
over his head. Then he whirled,
pointing q revolver.
The passengers were lined up In
side the car, and he went through
their pockets leisurely.

DEATH EDICT
Bread Wagon Driver Thinks
Body Carried in Car.

Although he was threatened with
death if he told, Edward Compton,
TAG N. Sheffield. Ave, bread wagon
driver, described to police a large
bundle which looked as if it might
be the wrapped-up body of man
which he saw transferred from one
automobile to another at Raymond
st. and keystone Ave. early today.
An automobile passed him at a
high rate of speed, Compton said,
and in a few minutes a second car
passed him as if in pursuit.
AT Raymond st. a tire blew out
on the machine in the rear and the
car in front stopped and the driver
came back.
Two men in the second car then
carried the bundle from that car

Because they were so drunk they
didn't know who was driving the
car when it tipped over twice in the
1900 block on Martindale Ave, two
couples may have escaped death and
serious injury but they didn't es-
cape an opportunity to tell their
feat to Municipal court today, po-
lice say.
When the police emergency
answered the accident call they
found badly wrecked Ford. None
of the quartet could recall having
driven the wrecked machine. Here
is how they were scattered hither

the car, and Estelle Miller, "a, of
706 E. Market ST., were huddled be-
tween a shed and fence in the back
yard.
All were smiling over their double
somersaults, though black eyes, cuts
and bruises had resulted. Both men
were slated for driving while in
