the fact that sulphur abounds in the air and

Most of us have suffered at one time or
another from headache in a stuffy room and
haven't realized, perhaps it is due directly
to the bad gases which form in the air and
poison our brain. They pass into the blood
from the lungs quite readily, the lung cells
being utterly unable to stop it, and then the
blood carries it to every part of the body
oftentimes to our great injury. w are gem

If you were up in cold countries you
would be impressed by the fact almost all of
the native animals wear white coverings.
These seem to have been given them for two
reasons. The main one is the animal is pro-
tected from its enemies by being made difficult
to be seen. Often in summer, when the snow
is gone, the fur takes other tints, more like
the color of the ground and the pie ats among
which it lives Again it happens an animal

and clothes or in any work he does.
An examination of the eyes of such a person
shows his brain doesn't get enough blood. The
blood can be sent there till the part is normal.
Then the man becomes benevolent and kindly.
Every one knows how a steady eye is always
the mark of a well poised man. His eye mus
cles are strong. An examination of his eye
would show all parts were getting the right
amount of nourshment. Criminals. on the
other hand, real criminals and not those over
come by circumstances, have weak, shifting
eyes. These are examples every one is faml-
lar with. A woman who has no maternal in
stincts is always found to have poor supply
of blood to the back lobes of the brain. She
cannot help not caring for children. But send
the right amount of blood to her cerebrum and
she will become loving and maternal at once.

Eye Key to Mans Destiny;

I + you are cranky instead of amiable, if you

your own fault after all, hut rather the
condition of your brain and of your eye. At
least that is what DR.. Archer Leslie Hood. an
English ocuist claims after years of exhaus.

character. He believes, in fact, the eye is the
key to happiness, to good behavior, to success

which the faculty of benevolence is situated

SeUeral Why's and Where fores

y-"'a- HY do tastes differ so in eating?
w Why can sick reope Sometimes feel
sounds? Why is it you could not
the world go around, no matter
how high up in balloon you went? Why is
it silver furnishes and gold does not? Why
does stuffy room give ycu a headache? Why
do animals in snowy countries have white
coats?
Tastes differ in different people because.
just as no two people look alike, so no two
persons bodies have the same identical needs.
One person may require great deal of fat
and may consequently be capable of digesting
it, and that person will naturally like fat and
oily foods-which may lie ,ss good for an
other person, and still less for third and
SO on. Again, at different ages people have
different requirements. Children are active
and lose their heat quickly and therefore need
large proportion of food to supply them
with energy and heat, and since perhaps the
best OF such foods is sugar, that may be the
reason children and young people like sweets
SO we'll.
The reason sick people can oftel feel sounds
is simple enough. Sound. after all, is only
kind of feeling as smell and taste and sight
are, but it is for the most part too delicate
movement of the air for our sense of touch
to feel 1t. In some people who e not well
the senses become more acute, and cases are
on record where sounds have been felt with
the SKIN. They are not felt as sounds, but as
trembling movements of the air.
AS for the lowest sounds, they can be felt
as well as heard by ordinary people Take
long, large heavy tuning fork and hit it
hard with drumstick and it will vbrate at a
slow speed. If your hearing is healthy you
can hear this faint deep note and also feel
the waves of air that they make-that is, feel
them by the sense of touch just as they can be
feit by the sense of hearing

you are eating. So many people hen they are
at a meal alone seize upon book as the best
means of recreation. But it is the worst for
it is no relaxation at all, but heavy tax on
the digestive system.
Perhaps the most important of all is to
masticate the food thoroughly The preserva-
tion of the teeth depends largely u. n the use
of them at meal times, and in order to main
tain them in health and strength t.ey must
be given plenty of work to do.
Also, in order that the meals ma be prop

This is especially true in the case of starchy
foods.
