x HEARTY LAUGH.

rhe wonderful Effects l.: Has Upon
the Human System.
s.Laugh and grow fat" is a saying an
old as the hills. 1t has long been an
accepted fact that humor Is promoter
OF digestion and merry words the dead
Hest foes Of disease. DR.. ]. e. Kenne-
.dy, editor of the Iowa Health Bulletin,
writes an interesting article on the val
ne OF laughter, in which he shows 1t is
not only a remedial agent, but is also a
valuable preventive against host Of
diseases. The physical effects of laugh
ter are thus put down by Or. Kennedy:
Laughter increases the blood circula-
tion. as,e. .e RI. .,.,
s It enlarges the heart.
It expands the lungs. ...,
It jigxers the diaphragm. .-.s.-s
It promotes the dioculation Of the
spleen.
In other words, laughter stirs up the
vital regions Of the body, gives them
healthful exercise and produces men,
tai exhilaration which acts upon the
system much as brisk walk in a crisp
atmosphere does upon the appetite. As
strong allies to laughter DR.. Kennedy
gives the following directions for men,
.tal peace of mind:
Beware of theologians who have no
sense Of mirth. They are not aitogeth-
er human.
/ Keep your chin up.
Don't take your troubles to bed with
you. Hang them on q chair with your
/ trousers or drop them in asglass Of wa.
Ter with your teeth.
DR.. Kennedy has surely hit the nail
On the head. If his prescription and
advice are followed, his own bills viii

After many happy weeks spent in
the States I am not in the least sur,
sprised that Englishmen should marry
american women, They show thedl

American women should prefer Eng

There is delightful freedom; an. air
of COM deship coupled with pleasant
manners and pretty looks In the Amerf.
can woman, which IS most attractive.
Her hospitality is unbounded, her gen.
erosity thoughtful. and she is In every
way an all round good sort.
The American woman is an excellent
speaker. 1t. is surprising to hear her
oratory at one Of her large; club lunch
cons. such as the. Sorosis In New York.
The clubwoman is young and hand
some, wen dressed and pleasing, and
she stands up and addresses a couple
of hundred women just as easily as she
would begin a tete-a-tete across a
luncheon table. She, is not shy, or If
she is she hides it cleverly.
There is no doubt about it-the Amer
lean dame is a great personality, but
either she will have to educate her sons
to her own level or descend from the
pedestal on which she now reigns.
