SOURCE OF TEMPERAMENT
Some Forms of Disease Cause Remark
able Exaltation of Mind and Spirit

(From the Pail Mall Gazette.)
The activity of the thyroid gland il
the neck largely affects temperament,
and every one has some idea of what il
means to be bilious or iaundiced. For
more difficult is the case here a NOR
bid state of body produces what we
must regard as in itself a healthy state
of mind. The "spes phthisica," the
optimistic outlook of the sufferer from
phthisis or consumption, has been
known for ages, and is as astonishing
as ever to observe today. A stage
further is found in general paralysis
Of the insane, an awful and invariably
fatal disease, with a rapid course, de
to intozication of the whole body with
the products of some kind of parasit-
ism. Here the patient is not merely
happy; he is morbidly. exalted, his
glee, his megalomania pass all bounds,
and while he can no longer control his
liberated body or its humblest func-
tons, he fiatters himself that he is tn
king of kings. 1t need hardly be said
that we have no beginning of an ex
PLANTATION of these things.

HOW TO SLEEP COOL
Says Bed Can Be Made Refrigerator
by Sprinkling Water on Sheet
New York Sum-

Persons who have the electric cur
rent in their homes" said physician,
need not suffer for want of refresh
ing sleep, day or night. Such a sleep
is the best safebuard against being
Frustrated or killed by the heat.
Let me tell you the method first,
the doctor continued, land then | will
give the reason for it. On bed or
cot spread single sheet Take a
basin of water and a whiskbroom and
with the broom sprinkle the sheet un-
til it is thoroughly dampened. If yol
have a rubber blanket in the house,
you can spread the blanket over the
mattress, make the sheet more wet By
dipping it in the bathtub, and sprea1
il over the blanket Set the electric
fan so that it will blow fairly stiff
blast across the bed or cot. Lie dov II
on the sheet, and you will soon De
sound asleep.
'Now for the reason" the doctor
went on. at is not the hot blast from
the fan that cools you. The fan sets
the air in motion and gives apprecl-
able relief. But what thoroughly cools
you is the evaporation from the sprin-
killed. sheet with the warm blast blow
ing over it. And the warmer the air
from the fan the swifter will be the
evaporation and the greater the cool
ness.
Here is an illustration that al
persons having to do with explosive
vapor motors in automobiles or motor
boats will understand. The one part
of these motors that always is cold is
the pipe from the carbureter or mixin 3
valve to the cylinders. In most of
these machines the cylinder exhaust is
close to the vapor intake. In some
machines the exhaust, within few
inches of the vapor intake is so hot
that a drop of water on it will hiss,
yet the intake is cold while the ma
chine is running. 1t is made cold by
the rapid vaporizing of the gasoline.
Water vaporizes not so rapidly, but a
warm blast from an electric fan on a
damp sheet, whatever the temperature
of the room, will produce degree OF
GOODNESS through evaporation thai
will be perhaps more than that de-
sired.
at is simply" the doctor concluded
making mild form of refrigeratina
plant of your bed or cot 1t cools not
only the person, but lowers the tenn
perature of the entire room. The cost
of operating it is about the same a.
that of keeping an ordinary electric
bulb lighted"

A, FIGHT WORTH MAKING

With the renewed interest that is be
ing directed to the raising Ct cattle in
this section of Georgia the battle be-
ing waged against the cattle tick IS
most important The real importance
Of this matter has not yet been realiz.
ed by the farmers of Georgia who NAV
lose most by the ravages of the tick.
That the fight is we'll worth while is
shown by the Savannah News:
Dairymen and other cattle owners III
this county should make the fight they
have undertaken against the cate
tick an intelligent and vigorous one.
They shouldn't become disheartened Il
they should meet with obstacles-if
they shouldn't have all the encourage
ment and help they are expecting 1t
would be worth a great deal to them tn
have the country freed from the tick.
They now lose a good many cattle in
the course of a year. Especially are
cattle brought from other counties of
the state or from other states likely to
become victims of the pest Hence,
there is an indisposition to bring into
the county blooded cattle, cattle that
are very valuable.
That the tick can be eradicated thert
is no doubt 1t has been eradicated
from other counties of the state. In
fact it has been driven out of entire
sections. To free a county from il
however, requires intelligence and pa
thence, a great deal of patience. Blu
success in fight against the tick i:
worth all it costs.
The County Commissioners are to be
asked to assist the dairymen. There !.
no reason to doubt that they will CO
operate, will, in fact, do all they can t.
help free the county of the tick. They
are deeply interested in promoting tn,
development of the county. In no way
can they do that better than in help
ing the dairymen in their anti-tici
campaign.
Besides, the commissioners under
stand that all the people of the count!
are interested in the war on the tic.
The milk from tickless cattle is better
than that from the cattle that are af
ficted, because the tick causes fever
and milk from cattle that are sufferin,
from the fever caused by the tick ever
in mild form, cannot be as good al
that from cows that are in an entire,
healthy condition.
The dairymen should be given al
POSSIBLE encouragement in the igo
against the tick They should be par
ticularly encouraged to keep up thu
fight until it is won. If they simply
mean to wage a spasInoiic war theJ
might as well not begin it, since notI
| ing of value will be accomplished
They should enter on the undertaking
with determination to succeed. Ami
mated by spirit of that kind they will
win victory that will be of inestima.
bic value to the county.

County Men Will En-
hibit Corn.

Arrangements for the national corn
show to be held a. Dallas. Tex. Feb
ruary 10 to %. have practically been
completed. said Joe Helms, vice preSj-
ident of the Corn Growers association
Last year Mr. Helms won the national
championship at the South Carolina
show with the best single ear of corn
On this account he will be barred
from entering a single ear in the com
ing show, although he may enter grain
in other classes
According TO Mr. Helms a number of
WAYNE county farmers will enter corn
in the state contest. which is held TO
select the best grain for exhibition al
the national show.
For the last three years the Indiana
association has offered a trophy valued
at 81 900 for the best ten ears of corn
grown in any state. Each time lndi-
ana has won the trophy. Special eff
forts have been made by corn growers
this year TO win again. Much interest
also is being manifested in the tro-
ply for the best oats. Canada has
carried off the honors for two years.
and If il succeeds again the trophy
will become the permanent property
OF the Canadian growers. Prof G. l.
Christie has urged the Indiana farm
ers TO exhibit their crop.
