Presidents Influence on Legislation

power over legislation, Mr.. Wilson
says:
Some Of our presidents have de-
liberately held themselves OF from
using the full power they might legiti-
mately have used, because OF con-
scientious scruples, because they
were more theorists than states
men. They have held the strict lit
crazy theory OF the constitution. the
Wing theory, the Newtonian theory,
ana have acted as II they thought
Pennsylvania-awe. should have been
sven longer than IL In; that there
should be no intimate communication
or any kind between the capitol and
the White House; that the president
as a man was no more at liberty to
lead the house OF congress by per
suasion than he was at liberty as
president TO dominate them by au-
thoTfty-supposIng That he had, what
he has not, authority enough to DOM
mate them."-From Woodrow VIII

James w. Garner, in the American

There Is a settled conviction that
William j. Bryan is TO be In the
Wilson cabinet. Nobody has any
evidence TO this effect and II Is hard
to say why this belief has taken
hold on the minds OF practically
everybody interested IN the subject.
Such, however, Is the fact. For q
while there was an animated dis
cussion as 20 whether Bryan would
enter the cabinet or whether he
would become a critic OF the admin
istration, opening Offices In Washing
ton for his Commoner and making
trouble generally. There were con-
ferences between Bryan and VIII
SON and there were certain messages
carried between friends of the two
men, and after little while every
body knew that there would not be
any trouble between Bryan and VIII

AFFECTIONS OF THE NERVES
Forms of Neurasthena Are Many, But All Durable When Attended
 TO in Time.

Neurasthenia, or nervous prostra.. tion, has so many forms and sc many causes that it is one of the most pug zling diseases a physician can be called upon to treat. No general rules can be given, each case having to be handled on it's own merits. It calls for psychologist rather than physi- clan.
 Some of the many well defined forms that neurasthenia takes have re- ceived names of their own. Among these are agoraphobia, which shows itself in fright when in crowded places monophobia, or dread of being alone; claustraphobia, or fear of con. fined places; anthrophobia, or horror of society; batophobia, or dread of things falling from above; siderodro- mophobia, or fright at travelling on a railroad train. Then there are the forms of mental rumination in which there is ceaseless flow of ideas. The brain is so abnormally active that it produces insomnia. Arithmomania is the form in which the sufferer counts necessarily and cannot stop.
 All are curable if taken in time.

HUMAN SYSTEM NEEDS ONION
Odorous Vegetable Has Value Far Be- yond That of Drugs That Are
 in Common Use.

Many people imagine that to ex. press a liking for onions denotes a vulgar taste, but this much despised vegetable has many excellent quail ties. It contains large quantity of nitrogenous matter and uncrystalliz- able sugar with pungent sulphurfc oil If children were encouraged to eat onions, many an illness might be prevented, and many a doctors bill saved. If bsby has a cold or seems croupy, frequent doses of onion syrup will give wonderful relief The syrup is obtained by crtting the onion into slices, and covering each with brown sugar, and putting one on the top of another in a basin.
 Iii sick room you cannot have a better disinfectant than the onion. It has wonderful capacity for absorb ing germs; dish of sliced onions placed in sick room will draw away the disease; they must be removed as soon as they lose their odor and be- come discolored, and be replaced by fresh ones. For those who can take them a raw onion eaten just before retiring is very beneficial-it acts as a tonic to the nervous system, purifes the blood, helps digestion, and very often prevents insomnia. - Family Doctor.

VARSITY STUDENT 10
 PLAN ELECTRIC CHAIR
HANGING TO BE ABOLISHED FOR CRIMES COMMITTED
 AFTER JUNE 13.

Little Rock, June 4.-Governor J. M. Futrell has appealed to w. N. Gladson, electrician at the University of Arkansas, to secure models of cleo tric chairs, such as are used in exc cutting criminals, to see if he cannot construct a chair and install it in the death chamber of the penitentiary at a cost of $1,500, the amount the leg lslature appropriated for that pur- pose.
 The framers of the electrocution bill supposed a chair could be provid- ed for this amount, but the peniten- tiary commissioners have discovered that it will cost more than double the amount to purchase the patented de- vices on the chairs now used
 Governor Futrell asks Prof. Glad son to study the models and see if he cannot build chair, with the excep- tion of few patented parts, in order that the law, which goes into effect June 13, may be complied with. The chair will not be needed by this date, however, as murders committed before that date will be dealt with in the same old way.

It has been well said that the old boy" needs his playground quite as much as does the young boy. He needs it for his amusement and for his best well-being. More playgrounds for the old boys" means fewer sana. toriums and still fewer inmates; fewer doctors and still fewer patients; fewer dyspeptic minds and still fewer dys- peptic stomachs and healthier and ha. pier men, women and children; therefore. let us cherish and maintain the playing places for the old and young.

They had asked the great cubist to paint the tragedy in Eden. He shook his head.
 T cannot paint the serpent" he said; 1t has too many curves" Then he added in melancholy tone: There is but one creeping thing that I find myself privileged to use as a model"
 And what is that?" they asked eagerly.

 Whereupon he took down his two foot rule and his table of cubes and went to work.
