C GETTING DOWN TO ESSENTIALS DR. FRKDERICK II. GREEN Krill or of “H KAI.TH*’ D U. HUBERT WORK, secretary of the interior, is not only a success ful politician and an able executive; lie Is also a physician of national rep utatlon and the founder of n great sanitarium in Colorado for nervous and mental patient^. This wide and varied experience lias given him an unusually broad knowl edge of tbe human body and the hu man mind. In a recem address he said: “There are only three real human needs. These are food, shelter and sleep. If you have the first two, the third comes unbidden. These necessities cost very little. Every other requirement in life is a luxury. In spite of the general talk about the high ertst of living, there probably bus never been a time when the actual necessities of life cost less, in terms of human labor, than they do today.” The increased cost of living which we hear so much about is not for real necessities but for luxuries and non essentials. We are being deluged ami smothered today with innumerable possessions which we do not need and which do uot make us any happier or healthier. To get money for these luxuries, we spend the greater part of our time and strength. No one would wish to go back to the plane of the Digger Indians or the cavemen. But many of our be longings today only add to our wor ries. Look over any shop window and count the number of things In it which you really need. Go through your house and count the things in it that add to your work and worries and don’t add to your real enjoyment. The constant effort to get things and to add to our belongings is not only a daily strain on our pocket- bpoks, but is also a daily drain on our nervous systems. Doctor Work knsws this, as a phy sician and nerve specialist. So he pleads not only for a simpler life but also for a life ntarer the soil. lie knows that strong, healthy bodies as well as well-balanced, capable minds need sunlight and fresh air and simple surroundings In which to develop. Our greatest statesmen and leaders in all lines have come from the farm. Really great men can only come from generations of ancestors v.-ho live^J simply and stored up nerve power. City life is ton hurried and crowdeo to permit of proper development. The place for strong men and women to develop is out of doors, rot In city hotels and apartment houses. Just as fitting is good for the body, so It Is good for the minjl and the soul to get down to the east rtials of life and lind time to think and to li\e. The old monks and hermits knew this and we must learn It in our day. <©. 1926. Wettern Newiptipcr Unlpp.l WHAT DO P. S. JEANS NURSES TOLD TO LET HAXR GROW ■ — «- r ■ Hospital* Put Ban on Bobbed Heads in Wards. , Ottawa.—Bobbed hair la causing a merry old powwow throughout the province of Ontario. Student nurses of the province are aiding the cause of shorn locks against those who would grow’ them long. At practically „all the hospitals throughout the entire province there Is u regulation to the effect that hair must hot be cut in tbe prevailing mode, but that It is to be kept pri marily in curls such as was worn by the muldena of the province some years ago. But tbe rule. It has been discovered, has not always been patiently obeyed. Nurses at general hospitals and tome others who recently desired to follow the example of their sisters outside, were suspended. And now an Incipient rebellion against what is considered a needless restriction Imposed by years upon youth Ig reported in a number of institutions. The nurses claim that the hospitals should be glad to have bobbed student nurses, and that they are sure the pa tients will agree that the removal of the long tresses goes a long way to brighten up the wards. Some of the students have decided to seek new fields of endeavor as the result of the war waged on the bob. but others say they will stick to their guns.^fchife some have gone so far as to secure legal advice. Seamen Leave Millions in Little Hafbor Bank New York.—In this day of in-a-door beds, of kitchens swung on the backs of bathroom doors, or tables drawn from the walls, we seem to have mas tered the art of concealment. Accus tomed as we are to these. features of modern life, we are not used to thinking of big business in small offices. Yet down near the harbor in New Yoqk at 25 South street, there is a milliou-doUar bank in a 12 by 10 base ment room with a tiny corridor barely wide enough for a man to puss through on tils way to the teller’s win dow. To seamen it is perhaps the best-known depository in the world. Its depositors represent sixty-seven foreign countries, it hears nearly every known language spoken, ami more than $0,500,000 In seamen’s wages has come over Us counter in the past eleven years. “I am the crew and the captain, too, and the mate of the Nancy brig,” might be said of W. E. Bunce, who runs this bank nt the Seamen’s Church institute. “Many of the people who think of the'seaman as the proverbial mossless stone will have to change their opin ion. “During the years 1919-20 the seamen made here deposits of their wages of $1,250,000. Last year was ■ good year, too. Even though wages and prices were down, we had more depositors than ever. We probably do a bigger business.for our cubic space than any other bunk In New York” 55 Billion Cups of Coffee Imbibed in U. S. in 1924 Washington.—Coffee consumed in the United States last year, amount ing to 1,381,787,285 pounds, was fig ured out by the Commerce department to be equivalent to 55,000,000,000 cups of the beverage, or about 500 for each and fevery citizen In the land. This was a slight decline, however, from the 1923 consumption, which was es tlmated at 12.47 pounds per capika, while the 1924 figure was 12.33 pounds. Total imports of coffee for 1924 were 1,419,152,000 pounds, valued at $249,524,170, but a large part of It was re-exported to other countries. Coffee prices were high during the entire year. no? Milady Carries Vanity Box in Umbrella Handle London,—Umbrellas with handles fiat as pancakes have appeared in Lon don and are considered quite the thing among fashionably dressed young wo men. The umbrellas are altogether too un wieldy to be carried by the handle, so are attached to the arm by means of a heavy silk cord. But they have the advantage of doing away with the vanity case, for within the flat handle j the owner carries her powder box. lip stick, eyelash crayon, ^i dainty little' box of perfume, a three-lmfir-^omh. a mirror, and enough hairpins to lust her several hours.

Permanent roads are a good investment — not an expense An Extra Gasoline Tax of from I 6 to ao Cents Per Gallon Your gasoline bills run into real money. But have you ever stopped to figure how much of this is in the form of an incredibly high gasoline tax? - Let’s see what happens when you leave the Concrete Highway and take to a gravel or a dirt road. Conclusive tests have proved that a gallon of gasoline will carry you only two thirds as far on a gravel road as on a Concrete Road. On a dirt road a gal lon of gasoline will carry you only half as far as on Concrete. With gasoline at twenty cents a gal lon, you would thus pay a gasoline tax of more than 6 cents per gallon on the gravel road and 20 cents a gallon on the dirt road. These are figures you can’t get away from. You can prove them yourself. And remember that every time you travel on either a dirt or a gravel road you also increase wear and tear on tires and run up your general repair bills. Why continue to pay these high taxes and get nothing in return but the dis comfort and inconvenience of unpaved roads and streets? Let your local officials know you want an adequate system of Concrete Roads and Streets. They^are just as willing to build them as you are anxious to get them.
