Sumptuary mourning laws were for

relates that at a tavern he often met a
man whom he took for an ardent and
eccentric royalist. Every time this

MENTAL INFLUENCES.
The State of the Mind Has q Direct
Effect Upon tho Body.

Tho State of the Mind Has q Direct
Effect Upon tho Body.
A good deal is said in these days
about the effect Of mind on matter in
the way Of the cure of disease. but
less is heard about mental influences
as cause of bodily ills. yet it Is an
old truth that the state of mind has a
direct effect on the body. The gloom
and depression caused by worry and
the physical system. 1t is impossible
to feel well physically when the mind
and spirits are downcast. The blood
does not circulate properly. appetite
fails. the head aches. and II these NOR
bid conditions continue more deep
seated ailments are likely to arise, and
cancer may be one Of them.
With many persons fit of anger is
followed by an attack of indigestion.
Excitement destroys the appetite. bad
news creates nausea. fright causes
faintness. and so on. Violent or de-
pressing emotions always disturb the
equilibrium of body and mind alike.
This being the case. 1t is inevitable
that when these emotions often recur
or become continuous serious physical
results will follow. The obvious les.
son is. then. that mental serenity tends
to health-is. in fact. an essential
element of health-and that instead of
resortng TO MUD cures" after the
health is broken it is wise TO preserve
the serenity as a preventive and safe
guard against disease. - indianapolis

Worldwide War Games.

Great mn of instruction for regu-
lar soldiers or militia. or both. are now
the order of the day pretty much the
world over. In this country they rave
been in evidence since the beginning
of July. In continental Europe they
will continue until fall. then give way
to the great army maneuvers for which
over there they are a preparation.
Whatever name is given to these mar.
tial activities. they are actually train
ing men To fight in case of war.
The cost of these war games to the
nations which support them is enor-
GUS. The price Of war has gone up
with the cost of living. 1t is useless
to drill and train unless the real tools
of war are used. and they come high.
Big guns are now the thing, and every
practice shot from a fort or warship
burns up dollars. A single torpedo may
cost $1,000. War grows complex. not
simple. 1t is claimed that the machine
will do the execution in future wars;
hence the soldier must be a skilled
mechanic or artisan. 1t takes time to
train experts. and as matters are
drifting the war engine Of today may
be obsolete when wal comes. Then the
soldier will have TO learn new kinks.
These military games are interesting
to professionals and possibly worth
while.

sit Is a Pity.''

The shooting of Mayor Gaynor OF

aroused the Indignation of every man,
rich or poor. with a job or without.
who possesses intelligence enough to
keep from butting his own brains cut
, against a stone wall. All a%ssassina-
tons of public officials in the United
States are acts of similar Stiffness. so
fatuouS and foolish and futile that any
person with Il piuch of brains as large
as Il pinhead cannot fail to perceive
the utter asininity OF such deeds.
John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln be-
cause Of a frenZied fancy that the pres
ident was an enemy to the south.

cause the assassin was a sorehead Of

deed a pity that in this splendid re-
public. wherein a hundred millions of
people gathered from all nations are
striving to work up through imperfec-

all. now and then some egregious ass
with a brain cut on the bias gets hold

conspicuous public official who is try

Poe and Potations.

Edgar Allan Poe. regarded in Europe
as the greatest American literary gen.
ius. drank whisky at times. But for
this fact be undoubtedly would have
been nominated ere now to a place in
the Hall of Fame in New York city,
where the memories of Il select group
Of dead Americans are to be embalmed
to posterity by ote of Il committee of
one hundred more or less eminent liv.
ing Americans.
1t appears now that Poe will be
elected to the Hall of Fame at the next
balloting. 1t appears also to the aver.
age fair minded person that he should
have been G.ected at the first balloting.
Poe has been dead more than sixty
years. His first biographer. Griswold.
as subsequent researches and develop
ments have proved. cast unwarranted
aspersions upon the poet by CHASING
him as a drunkard. Griswold had a
crouch against Poe. This fact also has
,een proved. Evidence is not lack
ing to show that. despite his occa-
sional periods of ~bibulousness. Poe
vas a person of %gentlemanly qualities.
His heroic struggle against poverty
and neglect and scorn must be counted
in his favor. His devotion to his in
valid wife is another record ON the
credit side of the ledger.
The drinking habit is less popular in
our days than it was in Poe's. but that
fact scarcely reuse the committee
for refusing to place a tablet to the
poet in the Hall of Fame just because
he drank some whisky. 1t is a disgrace
to American intelligence that the Poe
tablet has not been unveiled already.
