FIND RELIEF IN CONFESSION
Saved Many Man and Woman
From Insanity.

The relief Of making "a clean breast
Of IT." Who of US 10 there who has
not experienced It? II we have done
something which we consider shame
fnl or degrading or horrible we find
that We are suffering until we can tell
It all TO some one else, comments a
magazine writer. The murderer, to
and crazed by his crime lin many
eases) until he has confessed all,
whereupon he finds measure OF relief
and is more ready to meet his doom.
1t is with the mind, as with the body;
# you take a poison into your body
you suffer until the poison Ia drained
off; Il you take q poison into your
mind you suffer until 1t is extirpated.
Or to put it differently: a physical
wound refuses to heal until the poison
Is cleaned out, and the longer you wait
the worse the poison becomes, until
possibly, 1t threatens your life. 1t Is
lust so with the wounds of the mind,
and In extreme cases, where there is
no relief, the poison becomes so bad
that 1t endangers the reason, leads to
Insanity.
Some of the insane are merely suf-
tering from some terrible experience,
some shock, some emotional impact.
which they never shared with others;
which they locked up in their breasts;
which grew steadily worse until Ii
transformed their whole nature. Why
Is 1t that so often man living alone
In some shack out on the prairie, or
some woman alone in a farmhouse, be-
comes insane? 1t Is simply because
there Is no outlet for the emotions,
for the shocks and worries, the fears
and terrors, mo one to tell 1t to-
A curious fact Ia that we are trou-
bled not so much by the things we
remember as by the things we have
forgotten" the things slowed care
fully away in the unconscious part OF
the mind. We go through some
shameful experience which we feel is
30 distasteful, too degrading, to tell
any one else, we try to forget 1t; we
succeed in time But there it is, UNI
derneath, like hidden poison, working
on us whenever it gets a chance, try
ing always to break through, to come
into the light.
But insanity, after all, Is not al
ways the outcome; bad nerves, neuras-
thenia, unrest, unhappiness, are the
more common finalities. We see all
about US people who are leading
manned and crippled lives, quarrel
some, bitter, detected, nervously in
fiutter. The trouble with many Of
them is that they have never had COM
plete expression for their painful ex-
perlences; they are chock-full of the
mental poison of the past.

Good Word for Cnraeta

1t Is not often that a doctor has
much TO say in favor of the corset,
but two Berlin medical men, Professor
Felix Hirchfeld and Adolf Loewy, have
just come forward in championship of
that sorely abused garment. True, their
advocacy Is Of limited and qualified
character, but so far as goes 1t is quite
wholehearted. for they have satisfied
themselves that for a certain type of
physique that is especially prone to
consumption the use OF corsets may
act as a preventive of that disease.
The structure in question Is described
as 'paralytic thorax," the specific
char .cteristics OF which appear to be
length and fairness of the chest The
two investigators carried out exhaus-
tive experiments ON the respirations
of persons OF this class, simultaneous
~ following the movements OF the
diaphragm by means of Roentgen rays.
The result they arrived at was that
whereas the corset diminished the
depth 1t increased the frequency of
their patients breathing, SO that the
Total amount of air taken into the
lungs within given time remained
he same.

Freedom to Say What One Ike.

The only way to be agreeable and
sweet is to avoid being disagreeable.
The first act in the play of self-im.
provement problem is to be as civil to
home folk as you would be to strang-
ers. Let loose sweet thoughts and muz-
Gle and choke of the unkind ones.
The second act is the same. And
SO Is the third and fourth.
II one Is determined to look for
fights they surely will fiud more than
they are looking for. because lot OF
them will be looking for them.
To take life calmly is the only way.
People are seldom insulted as deep
ly as they fancy, and even IL they are
silent 1t is 80 much more effective than
5crapping.
The freedom to say just what is
thought to home folks has broken up
more homes than drink or infidelity.

The weary tramp sauntered idly
along the highway. 1t had been q
beautifully lazy day, Just suited to the
1ses OF q dolce far niente poet like
himself. and his distaste' for effort
increased as he passed along. His
only inconvenience was that some
thing within told him that he was
hungry 1t was probably his stomach,
since 1t had not been overburdened
with food for several days-not be-
cause there was not plenty of 1t to be
had, but because he had sturdily ad-
hered to his anti-laboring principles.
Work he considered disgraceful. and
he was not going to fasten a blot OF
any kind on his escutcheon by accept
Ing any kind of job II he could help
It. 1t was a favorite theory of his
that the world owed him living, and
he maintained that an honest world
would voluntarily come and pay It's
debt and not force him to dun 1t like
a common garden day laborer with
either an ak, spade, or hoe. 1t was
pretty near dinner time as he drew
near to the farmhouse. and, pausing
before the kitchen window, he leaned
gracefully against the sill and COM
