SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

by DFs LOUIS T.. b1SCn-
It would be well il every in
dividual were to ask himself
several direct and pertinent
questions in regard to the
status of his health and In
regard to whether he or she,
as the case may be, is doing
everything possible to preserve
the health and prevent disease
and decline in the future.
For example, when did you
see your doctor last?
Perhaps you think that be-
cause you have felt well that
there was no need. Yet it is a
well known fact that the
chronic and slowly devitalizlng
diseases begin slowly and in
sidiously and often the patient
is unsuspecting until such time
as the disease is already far
advanced.
Heart trouble, kidney and
liver disorders, hardening OF
the arteries and tuberculosis
are in this class.
If you consult your family
physician once a year for a
thorough phyical examination
you will be able to catch any
disease in its earliest stages and
will consequently be in a
stronger position to combat its
progress.
Are you one Of those who
think he can do without a va
cation?
Nothing could be more short
sighted. A restful holiday OF a
week or two each year is essen
tial-that much at least. And
occasional holidays of day or
two every now and then
throughout the year are highly
advisable, particularly for those
whose work is sedentary and
strenuous.
Then there is your diet to in
quire about?
Do you eat at regular hours?
Is your food wholesome and
well prepared? Is it a mixed
diet?
Are you troubled with elm
ination trouble?
Plenty of fresh vegetables
with leaves and stems as well
rs fruit is helpful. Also two
glasses of water between meals.
Then there is bathing. The
daily tub is invigorating. and
stimulating.
And do yo uplay after your
days work is finished, thereby
soothing tangled nerves.
Take an inventory Of your
habits. 1t will do you much

ical physics at Princeton Uni

The ship would initially weigh
10000 tons, from which $4,000
tons would be shot from the
guns to give propulsion. When
one of the cannon is fired the
ship would be propelled in the
opposite direction. Material
would be fired from the gun
with a velocity of 200 miles a
second.
Two hours and 20 minutes
after the take-off, when the fir

well, the ship would cross the

At this rate of advance a speed
of 1000 miles per hour should
be reached in 1850. Speeds up

4 Voyage to the Moon
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., D.C.L., ILL.,
Famous Scientific AuthOritu

It is generally credited by
scientists, nowadays, that a
trip to the moon is a project
by no means impossible of
realization.
A rocket plane or rocket pro-
jectile is now believed to be
the most promising vehicle for
making the journey through
the inter-stellar spaces. Fritz
Won Opel has made short
but successful flight in a rocket
driven airplane.
Professor Herman Oberth is
working on a rocket model
which he predicts, will succeed
in carrying mail from Berlin to
New York in an incredibly
short space Of time. It is un-
derstood that he now has the
model for a moon rocket in
the course of construction.
Prof. Robert II. Goddard, of
Clark University, in this coun-
try, has made many expert
nents with rockets, with the
aid Of funds supplied by the
Smithsonian Institution.
Already he has devised a
moon rocket; and quite re.
Gently he has advanced the sug-
gestion that special sun motors
might be used on space rockets,
which would take the power re-
uuired for locomotion, from the
sunlight which permeates all
space within the solar system.
The first voyage, when it is
made 1--WE shall not say If it is
made). will probably be from
the earth to the moon. The
diameter of the earth is roughly
5000 miles; and the distance
from the moon to the earth is
only about 100000 miles.
In round numbers, then, the
distance from the earth to the
moon is only about 80 times
the diameter of the earth. AS
inter-Stellar spaces go, this is a
comparatively short distance.

Impulsive people are usually
unpopular and they never can
understand why.
There's Bill, for example.
Fine man, Bill. When you come
into town, a stranger, his is the
first hand extended to you.
And it's a strong, warm, gen.
erous hand. There's nothing
it won't do for you. Want to
find a nice house? Like q car

right on the spot to help you

the odd little smile that greets
you when you mention your
new friend Bill. Dear Good
Old Bill-he'S a Prince of Eel
low! Why in heck don't they
appreciate him?
In a burst Of sympathy you
mention this matter to Bill and
it wrings your heart to see his
response. Brokenly he tells
you all he has suffered and
how there's hardly a person he
can count on-really count on
in spite of all he's done for
folks. Why do they act that
way? Search him! He hasn't
an idea. But he guesSes it's
just human nature to be un-
grateful.
But after a while it begins
to dawn on you why folks smile
when Bills name is mentioned.

self that Bill is acting mighty
funny. There was that deal he
offered to help you on-but you
haven't heard a word from him
since. And that car he was 60

Tommy Freeman of Hot Springs,

after outpointing young Jack

round bout at League Park here last
night.
Taking the offensive at the out

his feet with rushcs, long and short
range punching, that won for him ali
but five of the rounds. One of these
was draw and the remaining four
went to the champion. The decl-

approval of $4,000 fans.
Freeman displayed a gameness

round but a long left swing in the
second sent the challenger to the
floor for the count of six, and gave
him an impetus to take an offensive
that was only short lived. That
blow made Freeman cautious of his

He lost the decision to Hill, but
put up a great fight, being as fast
and as clever as ever. He might
