recollections of previous existence"
But under no circumstances should I or any one
say "snce have this feeling Of already seenness
then there must be such thing as reincarnation
account for it,
For there other explanations far probable.
One which is somewhat related to the previous ex-
fstence theory is that Of Sir James Crchton-Browne
NJ d He regards the experience as a revival of
hereditsriy transmitted acquired states in new and
special combinations His idea is then not that A
situation Y, dies, is reborn again stua
ton and has feeling of recognizing it because of
the facts of his previous life but that AS father
situation X it makes impression his brain cells and
this impression memory is transmitted A. so when
A meets something like X, It familiar to
him because of the heredta modification in his brain
This sounds plausible. buI It is generally admitted
nowadays that such impression could not be trans
mtted from father to son.
Turning to the purely psychological theories we
have several to choose FROM Before giving them,
it may be wen to explain of the technical
terms it will be necessary to use.
The first question usually asked a class in psychol-
ogy is, What is the difference between sensation and
perception This be clearly understood before
very far into any psychological discussion
But it is differences easy grasp and easy to remem-
Der. The sensation is simply the message brought to
the brain from organ, such the eye or ear
and the perception is the Interpretation Of the
sage. We look at orange for instance. If we were
little newborn babies with eyes just beginning to TO-
Gus, would get pure sensation of the orange
blob o. brightness Of different intensity from the sur
roundinss AS 1t is we get that sensation, but
mstananeously we recognize from previous expe-
rience, that the blob is round yellow and Opaque
the good old orange Of our breakfast table Thus we
have perceived the orangesensation has merged into
perception It is safe to say that we are never con.
scous Of pure sensations Always we have previous
experiences by which interpret Them rightly or
wrongly, and instantly turn them into perceptions
Anjel based his explanation of the deja va on this
connection between sensation and perception In the
of the Illusion he claims perception has not fol-
lowed sensation closely usual The sensation has

something was wrong in this theory, for those who
suffer the most from rheumatism those cannot
get plenty Of red meats. wines and sweetbreadS The
poor working classes suffer from rheumatism because
they do not get sufficient fresh air into their lungs be
cause they always able or do not know how to
keep their skin in perfect condition and because they eat
much indigestible food.
You may not have any trouble in your stomach diges
on but this is the smallest part of the digestive appa
ratus There the ntestnes and the liver and even
the kidneys may be considered in this matter as diges
tive organs.
There is undoubtedly germ which causes certain
form of rheumatism, but this germ would be made harm
less by the cells in the body there for this special pur
pose II there accumulation of the poisons have
mentioned
II you notice the slightest tinge of pain or soreness in
the joints take a hot bath and thoroughly wash the
whole body Then dress according the weather not
according to the and that you perspre freely
Take mild laxative night and morning and drink all
the fresh water you put into your body Keep from
getting wet and If you get caught in a wet storm
see that you are thoroughly dried as possible
For while eat sparngly This will soon rid you Of
the little accumulation of which the pain has warned
you And ever after you must remember that you may
become rheumatic if you neglect the rules for perfect
heath-the sort of bodily equilibrium have outlined.
Probably it will seem to you that strict adherence
to these rules will enable you escape only rheu-
asm, but most other diseases And that is true Even
diseases directly caused by specific germs-as typhoid
tuberculosis, cholera-need hardly be dreaded
by those whose bodies acquire resistance through
wholesome way of living.

Night be supposed to work more

balande's theory seems to me a
trifle clearer. According to him
the case is this: A In a moment
Of Observation-Disclosures perceives X
without becoming entirely conscious
OF it. The next instant AS brain
clears of its abstraction. he be-
comes conscious of X, and immedi-
stely feels that he has known it
before. He actually has known it
before, Of course, without knowing
he knew it.
That this state of mind is quite
possible | know from my own ex-
perience. For instance, last night
as I sat reading my wife asked me
the time. I was engrossed in my
article and only realized that she
had asked me something, 7 didn't
know what. ] finished my sentence
and said, What did you say?" Be
fore she repeated her question
found that 7 had my watch in my
hand without being conscious Of
her request I had perceived It
clearly enough to respond to it.
Several explanations of deja VI
are based on such unconscious or
subconscious mental action They
do not need special comment, for.
though they trace the illusion
variously to the "subliminal self"
to doubling Of personality" or to
"dissociation," they can be re-
duced practically to the same foun-
dation as the theory of absent-mind-
edness given above.
The explanation which 7 find most
reasonable is that "the Illusion re-
suits from the. presence of certain
similar or analogous elements in
the situation to some previous ana
forgotten experience" In other
words, the situation X, which | meet

Why DRUG Stores Sell CANDY

WV HY does the drug store sell candy?
w A not inoonsideraOle part of she
business of the average druggist
to-day is the selling of candy. And yet
one might imagine that drugs and confec-
tionery had no very obvious relation.
But the fact is otherwise. Centuries
ago in Europe candy was sold exclusively
by druggists. Not only that, but they were
the only candy manufacturers. 1t may be
said, indeed, that the pharmacist always
has been seller OF candy.
Nor, indeed, has the manufacture of
candies, even to-day, gone entirely out of
his hands, Druggists still make medicated
CONNECTIONS of various kinds, such hore-
hound drops, for colds, and licorice.
An effort is being made just now by the
Government authorities to prevent the

Picking Teeth a GOOD HABIT

II TIQUETTE frowns upon the use of
toothpicks at the dining table, Ing
- modern dental science seeks to en-
courage the habit According to Professor
Ievett, one of the most eminent French dental
surgeons, the toothpick should be as much
part of the setting of the table as the knives,
forks and plates; and If the meal is pro
tracted one the toothpici should be used be-
fore rising from the table
It is a fact that, notwithstanding the &C
knowedged skill and pronounced advancement
in the science of dentistry, we still lose our
teeth far too soon This is either through
pyorrhea, that dread disease of the gums
which causes seemingly perfect strong white
teeth to detach themselves and fall out or
through lack of cleanliness upon the part of
the individual.

Candies in the form of toy doll babies,
whistles, guns and marbles are deemed
Objectionable, although the sale of them
cannot be prevented. Children play with
them before eating them, with results at
which the bacteri0iogist would hold up
his hands in horror.
There are also some undesirable candies
which initiate chocolate, though more in
appearance than in flavor But the palates
OF children are not very discriminating.
Tne manufacturer of such chocolate sub
stitutes protects himself by avoiding the
use of the word Chocolate on his labels

oriental origin, and means simply "sugar."

various mouth-wash dislnfectants and the use
of dental floss i'm themselves cannot be relied
upon. The Scorned toothpick must be reestab-
lshed, according to Professor Levett, because
nothing else can perform its functions AIDE
quately.
The toothpick finds its way into all the lit
tie crevices of the teeth where bits of food
lodge and become dangerous putrid matter It
may be used, too, aus a support for the medi-
Gated cotton used to cleanse the upper part
of the teeth when they become diseased under
the gum. The cotton removes the soft yellow
secretion, which, when hardened. turns into
tartar. Tartar is dangerous deposit of sa-
livary mucus, animal matter and phosphate Of
lime, which incrusts the teeth and renders
them unhealthy.
The use of the toothpick at table may not
be extremely edifying~ but, according to Pro
fessor Levett ii helps to preserve the teeth

MUSKRATS Worth More Than OYSTERS

r T sounds rather unbelievable to state that the
humble muskrat is worth than the rather
aristocratic oyster, or, in other words, trapping
muskrats is bigger industry financially than scoop

Why NewThings

Fellow In Psychology at Columbia University
r AVE you gone to entirely place and
RI yet had sudden feeling that you once

conversation had strange conviction that long ago
you said Just those words under just those crcum-
stSnces7
And IL So how did you explain the feeling?
Many poets and authors have felt and described this
experience, though, rule they do not attempt to
explain Il.
Thus, Sir Walter Scott says: How often do we
find ourselves in society which we have never before
met, and yet feel impressed with a mysterious, ill.,
defined consciousness that neither the nor the
subject is entirely new; nay, feel if could
anticipate that part OF the conversation which has
yet taken place"
Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Pierre Lott, and
many others also testify to the experience.
1t must then be Of fairly common occurrence. And.
in fact doubt If single person who reads this has
not bad 1t at time or other
Then surely it should have a name And here the
scientists step in. Poets may first have described the
sensation, but It remained for the psychologists to
christen it, As usual with psychologists they chose
good long name, and termed the Illusion a form Of
paramnesa And this particular form is generally de-
noted by the French phrase deja w. already seen"

result Of living repeated lives with the same per
