USE. FOR HOUSEHOLD PETS
Psychologist Says Cats and Parrots
Would Keep Lonely People From
Committing Suicide.

A new use for cats, parrots and 9th.
er household pets has been discovered
by DR.. Colin A. Scott, professor Of
psychology at the Boston Normal
school. He is reported to have said to
an audience of public school principals
in Chicago that one reason why PEG.
pie commit suicide is that they feel
their own uselessness, and that If an
unmarried woman has a cat or a par.
rot to care for it may give her some
thing to live for and prevent her from
taking her own life. NJ i

holds interest in life would serve the

The first meeting Of tile local

in the chapel hall last Sunday, the

tionally interesting one. The aliot-

Resolved that The Indeterminate
Sentence Law is a Benefit to the

pains were spared by the six mem
bers three on each SIDE in pre-
pairing their arguments. The mem
Eers of the Circle are allowed per-
feet freedom Of speech, and conse-
quently the subject before the meet
ing last Sunday was discussed from
every point of view and in an un-
hesitating manner. The affirmative
side presented very good argu-
ment and clothed the few points
they had to make in language con-
tanning a deal of logic and reason
ableness, while the members on the
negative side dealt only with well
known facts. couched in plain Ian
guage. The circle ell mass. acted as
judges and in deciding the question,
the Indeterminate Sentence Law it
self, was given no consideration, but
Judgment was based entirely upon
the merits of the arguments pre-
sented, and verdict in favor Of the
negative side was, rendered with
only seven dissenting votes.

Slow Poisoning by Carbon
Di-Oxide.

One of the greatest causes of pre-
mature decay among the bodies of
men housed together in large num-
bers, is poisoning by this insidious
gas. It is entirely erroneous to sup
pose that. the bad effects can be
thrown off in few moments by in
termittent doses of fresh air--They
can not. The condition induced by
long period of ABSORPTION of this
gas is as rule permar emily fixed.
The symptoms are; dull frontal head
ache, partial stupor, only slightly re-
lleved by admission of fresh air,
eyes lustreless and heavy as if from
loss of sleep, complexion muddy and
| in extreme cases notified, extreme
muscular lassitnde. accompanied by
extreme mental distress.
The pathological effects are: First
"a shrinking of the red corpuscles
of the blood. These under the mi
croscope present shrivelled or cor
irrigated appearance; The arterial
coats show evidences Of stenosis or
hardening; the lung tissues are con-
gested and the eliminative organs
such as the liver and kidney become
engorged and partially imperative.
The effects: Owing to the natural
esistance of the body being weak
ened by the non-oxygenization Of
the red corpuscles; men exposed to
this slow poison are readily attacked
by germ diseases such tuberculosis,
and as their vitality is at its mimi
mum they readily succumb. Heart
disease, too, owing to the hardening
of the arteries caused by this poison,
is another means Of exit for the vic-i
tlms. All forms of indigestion are
extremely common and it being usu-
! ally treated without reference to
