port OF the popular theory that chess puts a
strain on the faculties which, IL long protract-

toric examples of mental breakdown IN great
chess players are those of Morphy. Steinltz
and PiHsbury. After Pilsburys death Dr.
Iasker himself an international champion
sought to prove that in none OF the cases IN
question was chess contributory cause OF
mental decay. -,
Yet the impression will not down. Chess IN
moderation may be safe. but what champion

great chess players most delight are those OF
playing several games simultaneously, some
times blindfolded against selected antagon-
lists PiIlsbury, on two occasions, played =
games at once without sight OF the board.
THE strain which such contests put on the
memory cannot but be harmful. Steinitzs col

Insect Stings
From Health.


Stings and bites of insects are ex-
tremely dangerous at all times. and
especially when the system is not in
condition to resist the poison inject
ed In many insects the nature OF
the poison has not been ascertained;
while in most of them 1t is of an acid.
irritant nature; in others it may con-
tain a powerful cardiac sedative and de-
pressant, and in still other organisms
in pure or mixed cultures may be in
troduced with the sting or bite. Apart
from the natural poison used by in
scots, it should mt be forgotten that
flies and other insects that live on car
rion may easily carry contagion and IN
oculate the persons whom they bite or
sting. In the case of ordinary bites
and stings the chemical antidote is
strong alkoline solution, such as strong
solution of bicarbonate of soda or potash.

ties of stings and bites will draw out some

Bathing the Currency

Good luck to the treasury authorities, VINO

currency Is VIGOROUSLY inimical to the public
health, containing in some Instances billions
of germs from the hands and pockets OF care

for hills TO be washed according to government
formula by local banks? This would obviate

Tho bath employed in the Washington expert
ments cleans the bills. but does not restore
their crispness, but even this pristine quality
