Willie reacted instinctively.
He was the one next to the
bottom when they untangled
the participants.
The sergeant and the four
patrolmen all helped throw

at the captains chest.
The captain clapped his

indeed, was gone. His hands
moved frantically about his

Better Health
By Dr.. Logan Clendening

Doctor Mattlson got 10 think
ing, and he was inspired by two
considerations.
One was that in the United
States there are consumed
from IS TO 10 thousand pounds
of hypnotic drugs like luminal.
This would indicate that there
is something the matter with
the comfort of our beds.
The other waS'that millions of
people are taking treatment 10
improve their posture. which
might be improved. he surnised,
by the use of better sleeping
equipment.
REGIONAL RESISTANCES
After several years work he
has formulated a principle,
which is regional spring resist
ances proportional 10 regional
differences in recumbent body
weight.
BY arranging three scales
with hammocks in them and
putting different people of vary
ing bodily build in these sings,
he found that the central scale
bore twice as much weight as
either of the other two. Mat
tresses. he concluded. should be
more solidly constructed in the
middle than they are to avoid
the inevitable sagging.
Mattresses should be hard in
some places and soft in others.
He has been able to persuade
mattress manufacturers Of the
correctness of his views and
many such mattresses are avail
able.
There is no reason why we
should not sleep well in a mar
row bed on properly designed
mattress. Since mattresses are
supposed TO be soft. Doctor Mat
tison suggests that their ten
dency to sag with age be
corrected with pillows, folded
blankets, or even with wood. But
a correctly designed new mat
tress made on scientific princi-
pies is better. AS a matter OF
fact, soft mattresses are not
necessarily the best.
II has been found that people
who sleep on the bare floor
make a smaller number of turn
ingS and position adjustments
during the night that those on
soft mattresses.
We have spent good deal OF
thought and time in designing
scientific shoes which bear tho
weight of the body during the
daytime. Why not spend some
of the same effort to design
scientific apparatus TO support
our weight at night7

HONESTY is THE BEST POLICY

H." Willie knew where the
Pendleton Street station was
but he had never been in II
because he had never worked
this district. 1t was six
blocks away and as he walked
there, he earnestly hoped
that no member of the pick
pocket squad would be hang
ing around. 1t would be
embarrassing.

hoping it was true, said he
hadn't.
The sergeant looked sus-
piciouSly at the half dollar
and with a knowing smile at
Willie. He requested and
wrote down the same personal
data that the lieutenant at
PendlctOn Street had taken.
This, - ne sand when he -had
finished, "ain't i'm our juris-

station. That's where you
should have went in the first
place.
ANOTHER LONG WALK
Grand avenue was three
miles uptown, a mile above
Pendleton street, and Willie
had had no lunch. But he
was in too deep to pull out
now. If he disappeared with
the half dollaT,@there was no
telling what the police might
think-or do. He began TO
understand that being honest
isn't as simple as it looks.
At the Grand Avenue Sta
ton, a captain, Captain Need
ham, presided at the desk
while a sergeant and two
patrolmen looked on. The
captain looked mean. There
was a strike somewhere in
the precinct and it compelled
him to be on duty. He gave
Willie a dirty look when he
put the half dollar on his
desk and told him he had
found IT,
LAUGHS HASTILY
Found IL. eh?" he Sneered

"Shoes. Ell? And you never
thought that this half dollar
might cut the price of your
shoes that much. Why not?
Because YOU are an honest
man"
He laughed hastily and
looked at the sergeant and the
two patrolm en-. so they
laughed. too. He looked very
slick in his spic and span
uniform with the gold badge
pinned on il. Willie wanted
10 punch him in the nose.
BATTLE BREAKS OUT
The captain was bent over
the book writing down Willie's
last answer when two more
patrolmen brought in three
strike pickets who had been
rioting. The pickets looked
as though they'd lost the
battle but there was plenty
of fight still in them.
Hello. Bottle Nose" one of
them addressed the captain.

him stare for stare.

He liked It,
This venture into honesty
was brand new experience
for Willie. The only times he
had been honest before were
when he was serving his
various prison sentences as
very efficient pickpocket. But
he had been honest from
choice for five days now
since he had completed his
latest and he believed his
last stretch.
He had been converted by
the warden who on the day he
discharged him presented the
argument logically in terms
Willie could understand.
FINGERS START ITCHING
"YOu crooks" the warden
had said, aren't wise guys.
You're suckers. Honesty is
the best policy. II you don't

cause there aren't any in
here. They're all on the out
side. Why don't you get wise
to yourself, Willie and stay
out of places like this ."
Willie, who was known as
Lightning" because of the
speed with which he could
snatch a jewel, a bundle Of
money or a poke, had been
deeply impressed. All right
he decided. he'd go straight.
He'd see how well this honesty
