that one of Canada's greatest at.
traction is the reign of law which
prevails. The man who violates
law will be jailed: he man who
commits a murder willbe hanged.
1t doesn't make the slightest dif-

money and influence he can COM
mand. "A'l Canada knows this"
says the writer. And we Amer
leans know it. and that's why
this country is a good country to-
live in" By promptand certain

utterly unthinkable; murders
which mean speedy hanging-no

without att action. And Amer
icans find all isgood: 1t is un-
questlonably one Of the chief IN
fuences which has kept them

the Canadian border. 1t is also
one OF the chief reasons whyCan-

United States, on the contrary
leads the world in failure to pun

murder itself. Mexico and South
ern Italy cannot stand with us
on this bad eminence. Some ten
thousand Americans are being
wilfully killed during the year in
progress. Within recent these
conditions have not grown bet
ter, but worse. Hence the stir
now tardily made by leading
members af the bar and Others
who feel it their duty to urge i'm

Lawlessness does not deter the
promiscuous tide ofimmigration

The First Univeraities.

To fix precisely the date of the rise
of the first universities is impossible
for the reason that they were not
founded, but grew. They were startet
by a few able men who had something
they wished to teach and youth:
wished to learn. Gradually the free
voluntary center of learning became
the organized affair we know as tn,
university. Among the earliest OF
these centers of learning were Saler
no. Naples and Bologna, Italy being
the first land to experience the literary
revival. We may say that SalernC
university was fairly established by
the year 1000. the University of Bo
logna by 1160 and the University OF

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

The State of the Mind Has Direct
Effect Upon the 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 1t Is an
old truth that the state of mind has a
direct effect on the body. The gloom
and depression caused by worry and
anxiety create morbid condition of
the physical system. 1t Is impossible
to feel we'll physically when the mind
and spirits are downcast. The blood
does not circulate properly, appetite
fails, the head aches. and If these NOR
bid conditions continue more deep
seated ailments are likely to arise, and
cancer may be one of them.
With many persons a tit or 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
resorting to mind cures" after the
health is broken 1t Is wise to preserve
the serenity as preventive and safe
guard against disease. - indianapolis
