SMOKING OF PIPE
WOMAN’S SECRET
FOR LONG LIFE
CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Jan. 4. (#)—
Advised by a physician when she
was 19 years of age to smoke a pipe
to prevent her taking typhoid fever,
Mrs. Margaret D. Dunn, who celebrat
ed her eighty-ninth birthday anniver
sary today, believes her long life
and good health are due largely to
smoking.
There has newer been a day in
the seventy years that she has not
smoked her pipe, Mrs. Dunn says,
and in that time she has never had
a serious illness.
All the feminine members of her
family began smoking when there
was a typhoid epidemic in the
Ohio town where she lived, and all
lived a ripe age.

CLEEP-METERS
^ One of the professors of George
Washington Univreslty has demon
strated that sleep Is a form of intox
ication which follows the system’s
obsorption of poisons during wakeful
hours. If this is true, should sleep
ers be pinched for imbibing the in
toxicating poison?

teen hours a day on a meal which
consists of a slice of toast, a few
spoonfuls of oatmeal, a glass of milk

he keeps would require his being
