HEALTH AND sOBRIETY

While am not in the general acceptance of the word a drinking man, writes a drinking man, can drink all night at parties and still be as fresh as daisy in the morn ing. I am often amazed to see men thirty years younger than am be- come actually drunk after half a dozen drinks. Then, too, hear men complain of smoking, three cigars and having headache. can smoke ten, with a few pipefuls in between, and have no ill effects, I can eat anything at any time, hot, cold or raw. I am 69 years of age. When I hear people say "eTake care of yourself" I reply, T do not take so much care of myself, as I do not abuse my health! I believe my health is due to moderation in everything. My doctor says my ar- teries are like those of man of thirty. :" (CBK) P.S-I can hold my breath while I count to 40 or 50. another of your health tests.
 Holding your breath while you count fifty is not health test. I should say it is rather 8 test of how rapidly you can count in your head. I have suggested that ability to hold your breath for 40 seconds is a fair test of the efficiency of your heart and circulation. One should be able to count 25O to 300 in 40 seconds. If you can count only 50 while holding your breath you had better call a doctor-or take dozen or two less drinks when you attend party.
 It is hard to believe ycu are seri- ous when you say you practice moderation in all things. Smoking ten cigars, or only two, with 8 pipe in between, is inordinate indulgence not moderation. Every booze fighter tries to defend his indulgence by some such absurd argument. He can take it or let it alone. He can give up drinking altogether if he wishes to do so-the trick is to make the hog wish to be man enough to let it alone.
 The doctor who offered that fa- miliar f1attery about your arteries evidently made no functional test of your heart or circulation. He may have given you a cursory phy- sical examination, such as life in- surance examination. More likely he just had drink or two with you. Certainly he did not give you a health examination: There is a considerable difference between a routine physical examination such as an applicant for life insurance or for civil service job or military or naval enlistment has to pass, and a health examination. The stan- dard physical or medical examina- ton is simply 8 casual search for manifest signs of active disease. If the not too rigid once over fails to disclose such signs of disease you pass the test-even though you may have incipient tuberculosis, pre-dia- betes or diabetes, or any of a num- Der of insidious chronic diseases that are not always diagnosed at the first examination.
 Well times up. We'll resume right here tomorrow.

none of the new tangled lights, heats or other treatments gave any relief, I began taking three drops Oe tincture of iodine a day for ten days, then one drop 8 day kept up ever since, for life probably, and ob~ tained relief that seemed magical almost from the first. In month the aching and pain had cleared entirely. TLL)
 .Answer--As likely coincidence aS iodine. However, it can do no great harm to try 1t. In bursitis about the shoulder 1t is usually advisable to break up adhesions under gen. eral anesthesia and then carry on active manipulations and exercises to sestore function, if the trouble persists more than three or four weeks. This is painful treatment and how, says OF Doc Brady who had a whirl at 1t once, but it iS essential to prevent chronic shoulder disability. The pain of shoulder bursistis in the acute early stage is something to cry oyer-at least ! boo-hooed plenty when I had it. puC then WOuld.
 Altitude
 Please tell me the effect of an aeroplane triy from low country to high country (not flying particularly high) on person with lung trouble. (Miss PL.)
 Answer-Increased amplitude of breathing necessary to get the re- quired oxygen in the higher alti. tude where the air is more rare- fled. This might be injurious { in pulmonary tuberculosis. Better make the journey by rail, car or bus, stopping off a day or two at one or two places on the way lp. That gives the lungs and the heart and circulation time to readjust to the changed condition.

--BEAUTY'-- GlorU1ing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

On careful preparation depends a large part of the. success. of any trip. Any beauty minded woman knows that this means getting the right clothes, the right luggage and the right cosmetics, as well as reser- vations, well in advance.
 The proper travel clothes, whether you go by air, boat or on one of the swift, streamlined trains, are those which do not wrinkle or show dirt easily. as.
 A suit remains the best type of travel costume, of course, but there are suits and suits. And the fussy little number of a fabric that crun- ples and stays crumpled during the first wearing is all wrong. Inciden- tally, much as you love silk blouses with your suit, be sure to, take at least one jersey or knit sweater blouse something that doesn't have to be packed any too carefully and which meyer seems to show soil.
 About the most unhandy item to have along is a fitted case in which the fittings do not stay in place. To find jars, bottles and odds and ends in a huddle in the middle of the case every time you open it. is a little disconcerting.
 Before you buy a fitted case, turn it upside down, this way. and that, to make sure that each item will stay where it is supposed to, no mat ter how energetically porters' toss the bag about. ~
 Everyone will advise you to travel light. Not a bad idea, of course, but don't take such advice too seriously and take so few nightgowns and slips that you have to worry abut laundry at every hotel. Really put some time and thought into striking a happy medium in your travel wardrobe. Don't take too many clothes but don't let anyone per- suade you to take fewer .cstumes than you actually will need.

RAISING A FAMILY
Child Who Learns Work Habit Early Has a Great Advantage
By Olive Roberts Ba lion

i, of the normal play and activities of each happy day, but merely that they ought to have enough things to do to establish work-habit, work expectancy and work-acceptance. There is little difference in the meaning of the three.
 The important thing is to train children to look upon all labor as a normal condition-in fact, life itself. Labor may meant almost any, thing under the sun that involves effort of mind or body.

Lenny Mills Is Hero
As Lucky Eastern
DeadIocks Lead
Extra Period Shot kips
CentroI-RooseveIt
Edges Out Tech
BY GEORGE HUBER,

To the tall, gangling Lenny Mills
a lucky Eastern five owes its spot in
the f1rst-place tie with Roosevelt on
top of the schoolboy basket ball
ladder He ended an overtime game
against surprisingly strong Central
team yesterday at Roosevelt by Slip
ping past young "Jello" Lagos and
sinking a one-handed snowbird for
the margin Of Eastern's 1916 victory.
The 1000 students that overcrowd-
ed the Rough Rider gym were
treated to another exciting game in
the final as Roosevelt beat down a
rallying Tech five, 24-22.
Eastern was off to poor start
under Central's close guarding and
trailed by varying margins until late
in the fourth quarter. Len Sokol
held the usually good Bat Battiste
scoreless, and Soup Hancock, too,
was of his game, missing four char
ity tosses and counting only one
field goal. the tying one, however,
late in the game. James Dudley,
CentraPs tall center, for time did a
good job of guarding Mills, but stuck
SO close that he was elected for per-
Sonal fouls.

Fifth Place al Stake
In Heurich League
Clash Tonight

Fifth place in the 12-team Heurich
League will be at stake tonight as
Little Tavern and w. w. Chambers
meet in the only game scheduled.
The Chambers five currently is in
the fifth spot with a slight per-
tcentage margin over the Tavern
uuint. Each has won one more
game than it has lost. Action starts
at 7:30.
Had the Chambers five won last
night it would have been in fourth
place today, with no chance of be-
ing overtaken by Little Tavern, but
It lost a 42-33 game to its bitter
rival, Delaware e. Hudson. The
winners failed to improve their
third place position, however, as the
.second-place Dapper Dams whipped
P. w. A., 46-38.
George Beach set terrific scor-
ing pace when he tailed "a points
for p. w. A., to keep the losers in
the running against the fast-step-
ping Dapper Dams. His work was
largely responsible for the 1916
deadlock at half time.

the score shortly before the end of
