DR.. WILEY ON ALCOHOL
BY DIR. II. w. WILEY

I think there is a marked tendency
in the profession to regard the
virtue of alcohol as very question:
able. The old idea hat if n is
going to expose himself to extreme
danger or extremes of climatic con-
ditions the body should be fortified
by the use of alcohol has disap-
peared.
1t is quite certain now that alcohol
does not make one less apt to freeze,
but more so. and that it does not
give any such amount of energy as
to be at all compensatory for the in
jury it may produce. On the witness
stand | stated that ] considered
alcohol a food because a certain
quantity of 1t is burned in the body.
with the production of heat and
energy. In the light of recent in
vestigations, however, and from
theoretic considerations, | am in
clined to the opinion that the effort
to rid the body of v en the small
quantities of alcohol mentioned may
perhaps a great deal more
energy than is furnished by it's COM
bustion, and that, as a whole, it
cannot be regarded as a food, even
in a limited ems
The susceptibility to certain dis

THE SECRET OF GENIUS
AN UNFETTERED MIND

Genius can never develop until the
mind is free enough TO follow its own
thoughts. The conventional always
stiles anything like a genius. Imag-
Inc Edison as having spent four years
at college as a young man and then
becoming a college professor. Would
his genius have ever blossomed forth?
Imagine Theodore Roosevelt as hav-
ing become a dentist at % and settled
down in a city of 5000. Would his
genius for leadership have ever car
ried him to the Presidents chair?
Those who become great, under our
present modes of thinking, and under
our present ways of educating the
young, are those who feel a mighty
urge from natural ability. says Will
lam L. Towne in June Nautilus. We
do not encourage genius by our GUS
toms. We do not welcome originality.
As it is now no one but an intense
egotist has courage to do his own
thinking and follow his genius to sue
cess. Only an intense egotist has
power sufficient to overcome mental
laziness and get away from the cur
rents of conventional thought.
There is an original vein in every
man. There is a path to original de-
velopment open 10 everyone. There
is something you can do that no one
else can do quite so well. You have
a work all your own. But o will
not find it by slipping into the ruts of
the conventional and lolling at ease
in the ideas of your teachers and as
| sociates.
The great genius is animated with
in himself. He weighs all suggestions
from the outside and he accords each
suggestion only SO much weight as IL
seems to him to be entitled to. He
trine or a theory simply because il
has been accepted by the crowd.
The most of us never tap the real
source of original power within our
selves because we are so busy follow
ing out the suggestions offered to US
from the outside.
Insist on yourself. never initiate
says Emerson. And this is the secret
of power and genius.
Use your mind in a self-reliant way
and you become strong. Allow your.
self to live the life Of an imitator anG
you become weak. You become de,
pendent upon the crowd.
Keep your thoughts free and unfet'
tered and you give your real self &
chance to develop.

s that Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, one of the
recent national convention, has some ideas of
dress for the woman of the future. Mrs. Porter
disclaims being of the old-fashioned suffragist
type. She says she likes pretty clothes as well
as anyone, and although she has been a work
ing woman most of her life. she has always
tried to dress appropriately for the occasion
She bought her first evening dress when she
went to the convention.
Mrs. Porter said: THE first day / went TO
the convention I wore a black and white
foulard gown, trimmed with lace, and a rather
large hat, but 1 Immediately found that the
best thing to wear on occasions of this kind
was a plain tailored suit of serge and a small
hat; consequently l wore my blue serge travel
ing suit and small gray straw hat the rest of
the time during the meetings.
l am afraid if women enter public life they
will have to discard a great many OF their
frills and furbelows, because they are really
out of place in a work-a-day life During my
trips about the country I wear very plain trav-
cling costumes.
Many young women, in their love for the
dainty accessories of costume of which the
stores are full, are apt to buy things that are
quite out of place in their work-a-day lives.
These things are, perhaps, beautiful in them
selves, but they can never be beautiful when
placed in the wrong environment. A plain cos
tune Is much better for the business girl than
q fancy frock of any kind, and it is really more

fat all but my face. Can you tell me a

tries. Massage You face and neck
every night with cold cream. wiping
cream off well when finished. Take
outdoor exercise. Breathe deeply.
Think about pleasant things and Gull

Love at First Sight

Dear Miss Doom:
Is there such a thing as love at first
sight?
Three days ago met a young man
and l felt as IL 1 had known him all my
life and now / feel that | never can live
without him. He feels the same way
and has asked me to marry him. I don't
know anything about him, but feel
that I could trust him with my life. Ia
this real love, Miss Doom? He wants me
to marry him right away
GERTRUDE.
There may be such a thing as love
at first sight. but I would want to
know If 1t would keep on being love
at all other sights before l took the
awful risk of marrying a man l had
known only three days. What you
feel for this man may be love, and
it may be infatuation which many
mistake for love. 1t is possible that
he really loves you. but IL he does
he will be willing to stand the test
of better acquaintance between you,
and, what Is more, the test of time.
Just now you can't think of any
thing but your feeling for him. But
my dear. be wise. Wait a little. See
If that feeling will stay after you
know some of his peculiarities. Keep
right on loving him, if you want to,
but don't even promise to marry him
until he has earned your trust. At
the same time you owe a duty to him.
He should know more about you,
your temper, your capabilities as q
possible wife, etc. You may not be
the kind of person he could get along
with at all. Give him a chance to
find out just what you are and then
If he still wants you for a wife he
will be acting with>h bis eyes open and
you will never feel hat he win re-
proach himself for haste in marrying
you.
This young man may be all right
in every way, but if he is he will be
glad to have a talk with your faith
er or any elderly male relative, and
show that he is of good character
and able to take care of a wife.
When next he urges soeedy marriage
tell him you think the matter too
serious to decide upon suddenly, but
that If he wishes to talk it over with
your parents you have no objection.
If your parents are at all sensible
and they probably are-they will
value their daughter too much to
give her up to a stranger unless he
can present the best of credentials.

ICED ORANGE JUICE

Make a syrup Of a cupSul of sugar
and three-quarters of a cupful of
water boiled together for ten min
utes. Then set aside until cold. Mix
one-half pint of orange Juice and
one-quarter pint of lemon juice, and
sweeten abundantly with the cold
syrup. In sweatening this beverage,
do not forget the ice is still to be
added, and that this in melting will
dilute the syrup, making the drink
more acid. Fill tumblers to the brim,
when serving. with finely cracked
ice and pour the orange mixture
upon 1t.
