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.

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.

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.

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.
But they must have your support
