Chestnuts MS a Temperance Aid.
''There should be less drunkenness at
this season Of the year than at any.
other time,' said a specialist in nerv-
GUS disorders who has a private sani-
tarium for the treatment Of wealthy
dipsomaniacs. 1T is not generally
known In fact, claim the honor Of
the discovery-that roasted chestnuts
are good antidote for liquor. The av-
erage man who drinks under high nerY-
Gus pressure not for the sake of soci-
ability, but because the alcohol stimu-
lates him to greater effort, is the one
whose nervous system is most quickly
undermined. He may never get drunk,
but there is the constant demand for
overstimulation that works damage in
the end. No sooner does the effect Of
one drink wear of than there is the
craving for another. Now, If that man
would eat a few roasted chestnuts In
stead Of taking another drink when the
feeling comes on him he would find
that the substance Of the nuts, having
quickly absorbed the liquor already in
his system, had appreciably decreased
his longing for more alcoholic stimu-
liant. It isn't theory. I know it to be
true. Philadelphia Record.

In Denmark the government has
found it necessary to grant greater
privileges to the heads Of families in
the matter Of changing their names If
they so desire. There is a great scar
city Of surnames in Denmark. The
Hansens, the Petersens and the Eoren-
sons comprise an almost overwhelming
majority of the people. AS an example
Of what the Danish postman has to
contend against it may be noted that
In one town Of $4,000 inhabitants there
are only about twenty surnames to go
around. Each one Of these twenty sur
names, therefore, is borne on the aver
age by more than 1900 people.

The number Of quail in central Cali

disease which the local doctors say is
similar to appendicitis in human be-
ings. So many birds were found dead
or Ill it was at first thought than some
body was using poison. But the inves-
tigation developed the fact that quail
were dying from the effect Of eating
too many grapes. the seeds lodging in

A German physicist, Herr Liebenow,
puts forward the theory, which has
been limited by others, that there may
be enough radium in the crust Of the
globe to account for the earth's inter-
nal heat, 1t is only necessary to SUD-
pose for this object that radium il
uniformly distributed throughout the
mass Of the earth In quantities Of
about one -thousandth Of what Is known
to occur in pitchbIende." But there are
many indications that radium occurs
more frequently than this in all known
rocks and that Its occurrence IS more
frequent near the surface of the earth
than in the interior. '"This theory" the
Electrician observes, "demolishes at q
blow all our conceptions Of liquid In
terror at the tremendous temperatures
implied by a uniformly rising gradi-
ent. 1t now becomes permissible to
assume that the temperature rises to-
ward the center Of the earth, but at
tafns maximum at no very great
depth and that the interior beyond that
point Is at a uniform and comparative
" low temperature"
This is making rather too much Of
radinm. What we know Of volcanic
phenomena In the past, Of heat as
factor in the formation Of the heavenly
bodies, Of the sufhciency Of Laplace's
theory to account for the solar system,
as so many slowly cooling bodies, neg
atfYes the supposition Of there being
another sufficient cause for the same
effects. Besides, do we know enough
Of the breakup Of the radium atom

sures as exist at great depth of rock to
be sure that the phenomena Of the lab

JUST BREATHE.
When Worn Out Don't Take n SLIM
uInnt; just Breathe.


Don't take a stimulant; just breathe.
This is the advice of Il doctor who
does not believe in the old medical
policy of mystery. but who undertakes
philosophically to explain to any pa
tient why such and such remedy
should be beneficial. says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
"When you are let down." contin-
ued this physician, don't take q cock
tail: Just breathe Put your finger
on your pulse and get its rhythm. Dur
ing eight beats draw in the breath,
breathing deep and low and forcing the
diaphragm down first, then filling the
upper lungs. Then eXhale this breath
during four beats of the pulse.
"Now, If you are working with a
piece of machinery, say Il typewriter,
what do you do to make it run more

with oxygen in 1t. If it can't find per-
fectly fresh air it needs more air which
is not perfectly fresh. 1t needs to be
cleaned by contact with the air.
"Once in awhile hold the lungs full
of breath as long as you can without

ply cleaning the machine. You are
cleaning the blood. At the same time
you are giving that little flip to the
action of the heart and the nervous
system which you thought you were
giving when you took the cocktail. In
the latter case you didn't clean the ma
chine. You simply ran it n little faster
and gummed it up little more. You
can get the same results, the same
feeling of exh.idration and Of accom-
plshment, without taking the cock.

will steadily improve in its running
quality. Breathe the best air you can
get and plenty of it. 1t is as necessary
as food. The heart and lungs act in
voluntarily. In hurried business life
they become too involuntary. In
that case don't take cocktail; just

Sick

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-

This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-

This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, epi-
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth-
