CXXXV?No. 285 Health Officer Foulks Says Discontent Impairs Efficiency ' IT BREEDS DISEASE Good Health May Be Turned Into Riche* But Riches Cannot Be Turned Into Good Health. A contented man is a happy man | indeed, and those who come in con * ' ? I tact with him are bound so feel his | influence for good, yet took upon him with a certain degree of envy, ' feeling that he is really getting more out of life than they are. And he is without any doubt, for life is much what you wish to make" it! A home can be made a pleasant and peaceful refuge, a quiet port j and safe harbor into which we can run to escape the many sudden storms of life. 'Or on the other hand, it can be made a place of -discord, petty strife, useless argu ments and endless complaints?an atmosphere of general discontent, r No person can long remain in such an atmosphere and still keep health in mind and body. Such a condition is destructive. No person can be discontented and happy, and an unhappy man cannot long remain physically and mentally well. Discontent is purely a state of mind. It is looking at life from the wrong point* of view. The dis contented s man assumes that things are all wrong, hence he cannot rec ognize good when he sees it, and he soon gets into such aivv abnormal mental state that he would hate to he forced to admit that anything could be good. And the worst of it is this disease .for I cannot n|me it otherwise is highly infectious, To prove this statement I need only call attention to the generaUunrest and discontent now spreading like a contagious dis ease all over the country at the pres ent time. ...! - : ,'To be happy agd ..contented with your lot dops not mean that you can sit down- aihd dlream away your life in peacj&Y Tar from it. The,truly ; happy and'contented man'is a ray : oif sunshine, lighting up the darker pkths of life. He is glad he is alive and able to~S?frth& bright ?sijle of things. Nflu.doud is too. black to prevent him from seeing - its silver lining. Being Jiappy and content ed, he sees things with a clear vis ion and strives always to move on ward and upwqjd to better things, liifting others with him. -He derives a) peculiar joy in doinj: gpod,-and as he benefits others and makes life better about him,' he adds to* his own peace of mind, and con tentment. He is a constant seeker lifter human, happines? and he finds it! Mark- that: point, well. Such a man is a student of nature. She is the one srrcat teacher of the human race. Her book is always open, but we mu?t study,'Her store house is full, and she. is liberal, but we must > render . her some sorvice. She is kind and sympathetic1, but we must obey her laws. * Our fate is in our own hands. Our actions are under our own control. Our bodies are in our own keeping. And ourJ minds file away a record of it all. The man who thinks clean, lives clean and keeps his surroundings clean, is storinp up health and hap-' piness in a bank that never Cails to pay the highest rate of interest. Money alone brings neither health nor happiness. The rich man often has poor stomach! Good health may be turned into riches, but riches cannot be turned into stood health.

By appealing to his sense of right in the name of his mother and dead wife, the Richmond police Saturday broke dovn the defiant defense of Fred Warren, and amid a flood of tears the young man confessed to Captain of Detectives Ale:; S. Wright he was the mail wanted- for deadly assault and robbery of a Washington chauffeur. This was the statement jriven out at Police Headquarters yesterday afternoon. Expecting to be brow beaten and put through a "third de gree." Warren was completely taken aback when Captain Wright put a fatherly hand upon his shoulder and j pleaded with him to consider his i mother, his three sisters and his dead wife. Appealing to the young man's better nature and talkng to him as j would a father, the detective cap- j tain asked Warren to tell only the I truth, and, Jf guilty, not/to add perjury to his offenses against the law. Within fifteen minutes after being ushered into Captain Wright's of fice, the young man had asked to make a complete confession, the po lice state. Although there is some doubt about certain parts of the confession, the police said they were confident the statement of the prisoner were in the main true. Warren is 28 years of age and was formerly of Holston, Washing ton County, Va. The affair, the result of which brought about his arrest, happened on' Wenesdav evening of last week, when he took a ride, in an automobile with a chauffeur known as James Caffes, from Washington. On Thursday af ternoon at 2 o'clock a laborer found Caffes lying in a deserted highway near Ocboquan, in a pool of blood, unconscious, with his thrdat cut. On Friday Warren was placed. under arrest in Richmond when he is said to have attempted to sell Caffes' automobile for one third of Its value. Ac^or''i:ig to the/en.fcssion made by Warren, Vie tared Caffes to drive him to Alexandria, but, according to his statement the chauffeur at tempted to force him to go first after some~liquor. He refused and attempted to. leave the par. accord ing to his confession, when Caffes attacked him.. In ,thoi ensuing fiff'it f affes drew a knife an^ threatened to kill War ren, thg confession states, but the latter took it away from his adver sary and *cut his throat with it. Warrer. denies robbing Caffes of $63, which Caffesp, who did not die, but, is now in a Washington hospital in a seripijf condition, declares he did. Detective Thomas Sweeney and F. M. Alligood, of Washington, took the prisoner in charge after he had signed the confession and will take him back to Washington for trial by automobile. v SOCIETY OF H ADAS AH The Society of Hadasah met last night with a splendid attendance.
