Enter an office' or a factory room, or a house where the sun is obscured by insufllcient windows, often dirty, or by other obstructions, and you will find disease. If it is a workshop, you will find tlie employes, especially those who have worked there for any com id rable period, pale, weary-eyed and otherwise anaemic. If the ventilation, too. is poor, these attributes which breed inefficiency, will be found greatly aggravated. If it is a home, you will find the mother dragging about her work witli a careworn expression and listless and shiftless actions. The children will be scrawny, the father will be hump-shouldered before his time and often irritable. If it is an office, you will find the . clerks watching tlie clock and slight ing their work. In every instance where insufficient lighting is coupled with insufficient ventilation, tlie de pression is so marked that the things that cause it amount almost to a crime. Nothing in all the world is so cheap as sunshine and fr<*;ii air. Nothing in all the world is more essential to health and happiness. There is nothing that will bring sickness any surer than the lack of them. ' If you want to avoid doctor bills;, to say nothing of the distress and the annoying petty costs that accompany sickness, do yourself this service—give yourself PLENTY of flesh air DAY and NIGHT and treat yourself and your belongings to a sun bath as frequently as possible. Questions and Answers. My Boy—who by the way insists on sleeping even in tlie coldest* weather with his windows wide optJn since reading your articles —stumped nn the other day by asking me "what be comes of the tuberculosis germs when the patient gets well. I pass the question on -to you. It was too deep for me. —R. G. Where the re-strengthened vitality of the patient enables him to first check the progress of the disease and then to overthrow it, examination has revealed that the healthy tissues build a wall about those that have become decayed by the action of the tuber* culosis germs. This wall shuts’ the germs off from nourishment and they become non-active. I am following your advice about keeping my bedroom windows open no matter how cold the weather is and 1 find that considerable chill seems to come through my mattress from beneath. 1 can't afford to buy a new mattress this winter and 1 am just wondering if you can tell me what would be best to do. A. J. If you will spread several thicknesses of newspapers over your mat tress beneath the sheets or directly between the mattress and the springs, you will find that much of the chill will be eliminated. Os the Red •Cross Seal money raised in Indianna, how much actually remains in this state to fight tuberculosis? -S. T. Ninety per cent. Out of the ten pl'/cent which goes to the. American Red Cross, that society pays for printing the seals and the advertising an<( the amount left is divided between the Red Cross and the Na tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. BETTER THAN CALOMEL I Thousands HaveDiscoveredDr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute lir Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative. and their effect on the liver Is almost instantaneous.

CAN’T PROVE HE IS DEAD Will of a Man Who Has Been Missing [ Twenty-One Years, Offered for Probate. ( Denver.—For the first time in the history of the Denver county court the will of a man of whose death there ’ is no record has been lodged witt 1 the clerk of tile court. It may be > come necessary to have the maker, George T. Sheets, declared legally • dead before the instrument is offered for probate. j Sheets, a contractor, made the will in 1593. He was then seventy-two years old. A year later he disappeared. The family did not know ot the existence of the will until a few days ago, when Attorney Edwin Parke f discovered the document in his safe. ; Parke turned it over to the clerk of the court. ; MORE JOBS THAN CHEMISTS Scarcity of Engineers Shown at Columbia University Since Outbreak of War. — New York. —Since the outbreak of I the war and the resulting increase in > chemical projects in this country the demand for chemical engineers lias ’ grown so rapidly that the companies are finding it difficult to fill the many I places that are now open. Indication of this was given at Coi lumbia university when Dean Frederick A. Goetze of the graduate enI gineering school reported that he had received a call from a mining company for feeveral chemical engineers familiar with the iron and steel industry. but that he has been unable to find any of the recent graduates who were not already well placed. - ■ IS LONELIEST OF PUPILS Missouri Youth Has School and Teach er All to Himself—Sports Are Eschewed.

When the term began five weeks ago. it was anticipated that a number of children would enroll, but only this one boy ame, so the teacher started in with the course. CHILD SMOTHERS IN COTTON j Little Oklahoma Girl Digs Hole in Pile and Then Accidentally Tumbles In. 1 Guthrie, Okla The nine-year-old I daughter of Paul Richey, a farmer liv- , | ing near Prague, thirty miles east of. here, was “drowned" in a pile of cotton in her father’s field. When the littTe girl was missed, her parents started out to search for her. • Iler father finally saw her shoes on top of the huge mound of cotton, and closer examination disclosed her bod? I buried, head first, in the fluffy ma:;::. She evidently had dug a hole in the ’ pila and then accidentally fallen into It, the loose cotton packing about her atid smothering her.
