THE CROUCH

DO you KNOW the danger Oh Tue
crouch, of what menaces you when
you permit yourself to fall a victim ?
In a medical paper recently read :,
no less an authority than DIR. E..
Nevin Stump said: There is no
doubt that men in a temper suffer
from toxic poisoning of the blood.
There is a secretion IN the vital
fluids of poisonous matter which
produces a sort of intoxication.
There is an analogy between
biliousness and the crouch, as it is
called. A disarranged system will
produce bad temper; indigestion
will predispose one to i'll moods,
so will poisonous matter absorbed
from the intestines. And just as
bad temper may be produced by
these physiological causes, it in
turn is likely to disarrange the
system, cause attacks of indigestion
disarrangement of the circulatory
system, which may have far-reach-
ing and disastrous results.
Never saw this before did you?
Never knew a crouch might prove
fatal; that it might disrupt happy
family relations, bring about di-
vorce, cause a failure in business;
result in your losing friends?
There is a specific and decided
change in the blood after a man
succumbs to an attack of bad
temper, declares DR.. Stump.
Naturally, the crouch discolors
ones physical outlook; it naturally
affects the physical system. | should
not hesitate to say that a man is
more liable to take cold when he is
angry; that, in fact, man in a
bad temper is susceptible to any
disease.
If the attack of bad temper is
long lasting, the unhappy man may
become a victim of distorted fame
les. He imagines everybody is
his enemy. He feels that he is
prosecuted, imagines that his rela-
tives have come too often to his
house for dinner; that his wife has
been buying too many dresses; that
his ice man has overcharged him
and his coal man has given him
underweight supply.
He begins to suspect his book
keeper of peculating and his steno-
grapher of supplying secrets to RI
val firms. He begins to imagine,
possibly, that his wsfe is carrying
on a clandestine CORES pondence
with some one, may even accuse
and insult her. There is no limit to
the pernicious and wrong things
the man may imagine.
Naturally, there are bad results.
People resent the imaginings of a
man in a temper. They should rea-
lie, however, that he is a victim
of practically a disease. And it is
one of the most fatal diseases.
AS | said, bad temper is likely
to bring on physical ills. 1t may
cause nervous collapse, weaken the
resistive power of the system. 1t
undoubtedly has been the cause of
hundreds of suicides. 1t has been
the first step in a degeneration to
mental disease and insanity. 1t has
undoubtedly inspired men to brutal
From a scientific standpoint
cheerful temper is better than medi-
cine or gold. 1t tones the system.
It gives one a sane outlook on life. |
But the crouch, physiologically and
is dangerous.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Senator AIdrich has returned from
Europe and in an interview expresses
himself as being in favor of a central
bank. 1t is not surprising that he
should advocate the establishment of
such an institution, in order to aid in
the formation Of a monetary trust,
which would make all the local banks
throughout the country. simply
feeders to such huge trust: and in
case we should have a postal saving
bank system, all idle money in the
country wuulG drift into it instead of
the local banks which are necessary
to local business needs.
The supreme court of Nebraska
has declared the bank guaranty by law
In that state invalid, or in other
words. UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and the sup

and the South reeiprocated.
The attitude Of the Ohio senator as
champion of the negro soldiers who
shot up Brownsville, and his continual
