MEN ARE SWEETEST
IF THEY ARE ANGRY
Sugar in Blood Increases
When People Are Angry
SUGAR CONTENT LAW
Scientist Discovers That Small Gland
Secrets Adrenaline Which in
Turn Gives Strength of
Desperation


From the Boston American.
To be "sweeter' when one is angry
seems somewhat paradoxical but this is
to be taken literally. According to re-
cent discoveries the moment one becomes
angry, or frightened, or filed with all
most sudden emotion of that nature there
is an increase of the amount of sugar
in the blood
Through the ingenuity of DIR. w. b.
Cannon, according to p. G. Stiles, In the
Science Conspectus. the physiology Of
emotion has been made much clearer, as
1t has been discovered II Is believed
not only that sugar increases instantly
in the blood upon becoming angry or
frightened, but that other elements in
the body change, securing muscular re-
enforcement for emergencies.
In other words, the increase of sugar
in the blood promptly aids the muscles.
When this occurs, either with anger or
fright, the victim of such emotions is ac-
tually better qualified temporarily, for
action. This explains how savagely some
people fight when they are terribly an
cry Seeing red" ii is sometimes called.
Again a person terribly frightened, puts
up a battle either with man, animal or
elements that is much stronger than any
battle he could put up under normal con-
ditions. 1t is known the strength Of
desperation" ess
