HEART STTMULANT.
Cold Applications Superior to Draughts
of Alcohol.

From Health.
There is a deep-seated belief amounting
almost to a superstition that aicohoi IS

nitz. the great authority on hydro therapy
In Germany has often told us Of the very
great value of cold as heart stimuiant
or tonic and that 1t Is far superior TO
alcohol in this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives
the method Of application as follows:
1.-The application consists or compress
applied to the portion OF the chest wall
over the heart. This comprises the space
bounded by the second rib above, the right
border Of the sternum. line falling one
half inch to the right Of the nipple, and
the sixth rib below. The compress should
he large enough to cover this space. and
to extend at least two inches outside of 1t.
Ordinarily the best effects are produced by
employing water at a temperature of about
sixty degrees The compress should be
wrune moderately dry. and should be very
lightly covered 1t is desirable that cool

Treat Brains Well.


Anxiety causes more brain disorders than
any other agency. unless 1t be love- I have
a great respect for the gray matter of the
brain. There Is no so highly developed
tissue In the body of any animal, or in
man. than the gray matter Of the brain. It
Is Wen for us to know that the feelings or
emotions cause more unhappiness and
crime than any other cause. Human be-
ings are governed by their emotions. and
1t Is well that they should be to a certain
extent. though 1t is the emotions that wear
away the brain, and not honest. intellectual
work. Very few people suffer from intel
lectual work. and q mathematician rarely
needs a doctor for any nervous disease 1t
Is not Intellectual work that causes ner-
vous dyspepsia. but anxiety. fear, sorrow
and love. Eight hours a day are sufficient
for man to use his brain; IL he exceeds
that time he becomes nervous and fretfui,
and an exhaustive brain is an irritable
brain. You may not feel the evil effects
Of the stress OF brain work at the time,
but you will sooner or later. when 1t is too
late. The men that work at night with
their brains are the ones that expose them
selves to danger. and night work Is danger
GUS to brain health. unless the person Is
strong and takes the best OF care Of him
self.

though. but indicated that he would be will

Is glad the curtain put a quick end to its
realistic qualities.

Ed Connolly, who played In THE Belle
of New York" for n long time in Lon
don, has the following to say about the
differences between English and American
audiences. He says that the American
audience anticipates; the English Is never
quite with you. On the other hand. the
latter appreciates humor keeny enough,
and doesn't weary of 1t. as does his Amer
ican cousin. The Englishman will come
again and bring a friend and will nudge
him and say: Now, here's the joke" But
he will not laugh then until after you
have delivered the joke. The American,
once having heard the joke, has no de-
sire TO hear 1t again.
