to say he had long been convinced that
lack of proper food, properly cooked,

the drink habit from the constant gnaw-

not always, or usually, proceed from
emptiness either of the stomach or the
pOcketbook. Many who sit down to welt

they partake is either not nourishing in
itself, or it is so improperly cooked that
the nourishing qualities escape in steam
or in hot grease.
There is no denying the fact that our

Until recently it has nearly always been
popularity supposed that a love of gos-
sip was indicative of weakness of char
acter, and was besides somwhat repre-
hensible, morally. Readers will be glad to
learn that hereafter they may indulge in
that delightful pastime with the appro-
baton of the really great and good of the
earth. A recognized authority announces
that love Of gossip may indicate "a harm
less curiosity, a fellow feeling for fellow
men; a genuine interest in and love for
our neighbors' and that it Sometimes
indicates a malicious delight in the weak
ness of men and a conceited self-appro-
baton"
OF course this last quality of gossip is
very reprehensibe; but then it is so easy
to believe the best of gossipers and to
attribute the best qualities to him and
their love of that pleasing occupation.
that we may hereafter conclude that COS
sip is nearly always of the harmless and
engaging kind-at least the worst con-
struction should never be placed upon it
until the facts indicate beyond all doubt
that the gossipers engaged are tearing
their neighbors to pieces.

Why did Socrates frequently swear?
The worthy sage had perfect command of

yet again and again he swore by the

AT the last convention of the American
Public Health association, alcoholism was
discussed from a sanitary standpoint. and
it was decided that bad cooking, hurr ed
and unpaIatable meals, and the extrava-
CANT use of ice are conducive to drink
ing; they create a thirst, a craving for
strong drinks after meals, with a. view Of
ding digestion, and in the end produce
dyspepsia, which in itself leads TO drink
ing.
The committee on the Abuse of AIco-
holic Drinks" went on to recommend that
popular kitchens should be organized by
cooperative societies, where cheap meals
would be sold and the art of cooking
taught to the People at little or no ex-
pense. Also cafes should be encouraged,
and gardens where hygienic drinks and
good, pure coffee are the beverages OF,

QZ2bY Swear !?
WHY DO THEY?

WHY DO THEY?
''Why do men swear?" is question
which Prof Patrick, of the University
of Iowa, attempted to answer in a paper
recently read before a scientific society
of Lincoln, Neb. The question is a rea-
sonable one and if the cause can be
learned, remedy may be applied, or it
may prove that swearing is a necessary
evil and mild substitute for something
worse.
Prof. Patrick, quoting from Campbell,
explains that men in anger may be
obliged to repress every overt act and
every expression of emotion except facial
movements or some form of vocalization
that profanity is therefore a safety
valve, and if a man did not swear he
would do something worse. Prof. Pat
rick holds that there is something more
than this in swearing, and that it has
an objective as well as subjective force
and is intended to call down a curse from
heaven upon the offender.
The psychology of the oath has by no
means been determined. It's forms and
ramiGcations are many and most of them
are subtle in character. If the oath is a
safety valve, why is it not better adapted
to the use of women, who are said to be
