STORING HEALTH RESERVES FROM THE WEATHER Would you like to live nine years Bonger than it is likely you will live? if so, there may be some point in :reading this article, which is a sum - emery of an article by E. E. Free in 'The American Magazine. Mr. Free nontends that the average span of life would be lengthened by nine years if the average man knew as much a- Ibout the relation of weather to health es men of science know. He says that in the course of the twelvemonth the body is either storing up reserves 'of health or is expending them. Some- times the two processes proceed at the same time. Speaking generally -we store up health in the summer and expend it in the winter. The prob- lem is therefore how to store up to the maximum and how to expend the eminimum. About this time of year And for the next few weeks the health curve is about in the average posi- tion, about where it will be in June. itt was at its peak in September and will be at its lowest in March. The spring months rather than the early winter months are the danger point. itt is then that tonsilitis, colds, influ- enza, pneumonia are chiefly transmit- ted. All are preventable. Sun, in the opinion of Mr. Free, is the greatest friend a man can have. Without sun, of course, there would Ibe no life on this planet, and by stor- i ful germs floating around. ing up the healthful rays of the sun illness cari be avoided and life pro- longed. In the winter months, while PRIVY COUNCIL SETS FREE 'awe may have many bright sunny days the valuable healing rays are too weak CONDEMNED MURDERER to do much good. It is at -the time •of year when the sun is getting stron- It is rarely indeed that the Judicial ger that we should proceed to lay the committee of the privy council has to foundations for our health for the deal with murderers but it is the aaext twelvemonth. It is the time right of a person convicted of a crime -when we should begin to put in our in a colony to appeal to the foot of stock of invisible rays which about the throne. In modera times there that time become active again. One have been three such appeals. One day's sun bathing in April is worth, two in August so that one should ex- pose oneself to the sun as often as possible. The same process is to be continued in May. Long walks, par- ticularly in bhe country, are recom- mended, and Mr. Free gives the ra- ther curl us advice, "Try to get your summer clothes on a little ahead of the customary time." Here he touch- es a point which he refers to several times. He believes we wear too many tebathes. In the winter we are too 'warm. His idea is that we should -wear the same underclothes winter and summer, although he concedes that an overcoat is necessary. Through June every effort should be made to get a• sun bath. If the water is too cold for bathing it will never- theless be useful to get into a bath- ing suit and lie about on the beach, 'gpermitting the sun to tan the skin. If a beach is not available there is no reason why one should not encourage the tan in a back yard or verandah. cone must be careful, however, to ac= quire the tan gradually since a viol- ent sunburn does more harm than good, and is also, according to Mr. Free and other authorities, extremely painful. On oppressively hot and snaggy days in summer one should mot remain in the sun. At this time eef year one should eat sparingly of Bight foods, including plenty of sough - age, salads, fruits. Water is better cool but not iced, and hot tea and 'coffee are better than the same drinks cold, just as luike'warmti baths are more effective than chilly :a' Mere. The dripping water should be mod off with a bath towel and the ten fleet dry by evaporation. Wear 1o0eep porous clothing and as little of it as possible. Care as to what one eats and drinks is to be continued through August, as indeed throughout the year. If the skin has been healthily tanned it will be found that it will resist the heat better than a tender and more protect- ed skin just, as later on, it will resist cold better. For September the advice is: "During this month your health reserves reach their highest point for the whole year. The disease resist• ing effects of the ultra -violet energy you have received from the sun have accumulated in your body. From now on the sunlight grows gradually weaker in these invisible rays. But +;o hold to your reserves you should keep up your sunbaths and exposure as late as possible in the season." In October skin exercise, as distinct from solar exposure, is to be sought. Take brisk walks on chilly days. Don't bundle up. Stick to your sum- mer clothes. Don't start the furnace unless the outside temperature falls below 60 degrees for considerable periods. In November one's main purpose is to avoid getting soft again. The heavy 'lothing is to be eschewed. Begin the winter programs by opening up the windows of room or office two or three times a day to get fresh, cold fir. Of December Mr. Free says, "Even when the weather gets very ^old, it pays to step out into it for a few minutes, morning, noon and eve - ling. without overcoat or hat and so 'et the frigid breeze reach the skin. So long as you feel the cold without actually ge'eting cold it is dointr you good." In real cold weather the in - temperature should not be more. than 70, and 68 is better. It is im- portant that every day the skin should be made aware that the winter is here. The idea is that if the skin becomes accustomed to swift changes of temperature it will react snore re'rlily and thus be able better to protect the whole body. The skin should get frequent daily shocks. This will tone it up and .the surprise is better than the well known cold baths. If the skin is perfectly heal- thy as the result of having been im- pregnated with invisible rays it will prevent one getting cold easily and draughts will have little effect. In- digestion is another malady that a perfectly functioning skin will ward off. 'It . is well in the months when human resistance is lowest and most germs are floating around to avoid crowds. It is better to feel chilly on the platform of a train than to feel stuffily comfortable inside where there are no doubt billions of harm - was made by a native of India and an- other by an East African, both on points of law. Their lordships sus- tained the appeals and the prisoners were set free. Now there has been settled a case where a man's life hung in the balance, and the privy council has decided that Dr. Benjamin Knowles, M.C., formerly a medical of- ficer in the colonial .service at Ashan- ti, on the Gold coast of West Africa. rlid not murder his wife. Several months ago he had been arrested, tried and convicted in Kumasi by J. F. McDowell, an acting circuit judge, who heard the case without a jury. It might well have been dif- ficult in the community to get a white jury whose members had no preconceived, notions on the case for we may assume that the Knowles family would be known to everybody. This may explain the action of the judge, which was criticized in the course of the appeal. Dr. Knowles was sentenced to death but the pun- ishment was later commuted to life imprisonment. The prisoner saw the inside of sev- eral jails both in Africa and England before his case was finally disposed of. When the privy council heard the argument he was lying ill in Maid- st.ope prison, but shortly afterward he had sufficiently recovered to be taken to his sister's home in Lancashire where he will try to recover from the terrible ordeal which he has under- gone. Though the decision declares him innocent be will receive no com- pensation for the suffering and dis- grace he has endured nor for the months he has remained fn prison.

I sat on the gun. As I got up it caught in: my dress with a lace frill. I tried to take it away from the lace and suddenly it went off, the bullet passing through my 'leg. I did not realize I was shot until I saw blood running from my leg. I am not in fear of death." The theory of the prosecution was that theme had been a quarrel in the eourse of which Dr. Knowles had shot Hs wife who had made a sporting Pffort to save his life. In support of this theory evidence was produced to show that two spent bullets were found in the room. To this it was objected that 'Mfrs. Knowles was known to have fired a bullet in the roam a few months earlier, the in- timation being that Mrs. Knowles was a .high spirited woman. The police swore that when they searched the house they were unable to find ay dress with a lace frill, and the fact that Mrs. Knowles was familiar with firearms would make it highly improbable that she would sit down on a loaded revolver if she was as so- ber as the defence contended. Evi- dence damaging to Knowles was giv- en by the surgeon specialist, Mr. Gush( who attended the injured wo- man. He said that Knowles had ad- mitted to him that there had been a domestic fracas. Knowles showed Gush his left leg, which was covered with bruises, and maid that his -wife had beaten him with Indian clubs. He further stated that she had been nagging him, and that he had told her the previous afternoon that if she did not leave the room he would put a bullet in Oe the ether hand the trial judge said he had no reason to doubt 'hat they were extremely fond of each other. The theory of the prosecution, 'herefore. was not deliberate murder, but merely a sudden explosion, not improbable in such a climate, when there come moments when even the fondest become fed up and wish no- thing so much as that the beloved object should be feeding the eternal games. There was also more than a suggestion that Dr. Knowles' anger 'gad been excited by the supposed in- toxication of his wife. Tiler careless handling of the revolver, if her own story was correct, was held to be highly suspicious on this point. Ac- -ermine to the crown there was evi- dence of a violent auarrel in the bed- room where the two had repaired after the guests had left. Dr. Knowles insisted that hi swife's rf tee shooting was correct. He •swore that after lunch he had gone to bed, had seen his wife enter the room and begin to undress and then as he sank to sleep had been awakened by a shot. As he sprang to her assistance she said: "People thaf I have done this pur- posely," to which he had replied: "All you have to do is to lie quiet. I will take all the blame." Before the privy council, the ease against the prisoner was not strongly pressed, the prosecu- tion saying that if there was the slightest doubt he wanted Knowles to have the benefit of it, and that he did not desire to insist too strongly upon the legal considerations which o'tered into the case. Their lord- ships were not ten minutes in mak- ing their decision. It was received with general approval for the ease had attracted wide interest and Dr. Knowles' mother and sister had re- ceived letters of sympathy from many parts of the world. The doctor's friends had also rallied strongly to his side, advancing the considerable amount, of money which enabled the successful fight to be made for his life.

If it is to he stored in a me- chanical refrigerator, wash and trim the celery, and place it in a shallow, tightly -covered tin box. It will re- main crisp and fresh, ready for serv- ing.
