THE POWER OF CHARACTER.

Eugene Guard-Independe
The late j. p. Morgan. testifying
before a committee of the United
States senate at one time, stated he
had loaned millions to men who Of
fered no security other than their
promises to repay the money. These
men. the witness stated, possessed
character Other men. with gilt
edge security, had made applications
for loans, he said, and these had been
rejected because the men lacked
character Character, he said, was
thing which counts, even in the
business world where men deal in
millions, and that, after all, it was
the greatest treasure any man might
hope to possess.
The man without character does
not fight when others SANDER his
good name; he does not force those
who would rob him of such a posses.
sion like thief in the dark into the
open; he does not court the fullest
publicity of all those things which
may have entered into his life from
the time he was boy in the Sunday
school until he became a bushes:
man at the head of one of the great
enterprises OF state; he is not cour
ageous; he is a coward.

STRENGTH IN EXCITEMENT.
Either Fear, Rage or Pain Starts the
Adrenal Glands to Work.

AdrenaI Glands to Work
Many a person has wondered where
be obtained the strength that enabled
him TO undergo some emergency that
called for unusual physical exertion
when under ordinary conditions he
would be unable TO control a 1.-THE of
that strength. It was from the adre-
nal glands, two little glands situated
above the kidneys which secrete what
is known as adrenaline and when
stimulated discharge the same into the
blood The effect of this addition to
the blood is to release sugar from stOr-
age in the liver and bring it into the
blood. drive the blood from the ab-
dominal regions into the heart. lungs,
central nervous system and limbs. The
resulting effect is to excite the muscles
to irritability and enable unusual effort
TO be made.
Either fear. rage or pain win sup
ply the stimulus required to set the
muscle is fatigued without any ac-
companying degree OF excitement it
may take a couple of hours for it to
recover its normal condition. but If
adrenaline is injected. or if through
excitement the adrenal glands are
stimulated to discharge and secrete,
the fatgued muscle may regain its
'irrita ability" in three minutes. The
sugar set free from the liver and cir
culated in the blood stimulates the
muscles. for sugar is the source Of
muscular energy. Fear. rage and pain
are thus given US by nature as agen.
cies to enable us to use our physical
powers to their fullest extent In the

ocrat sympathize in the present Eu-

He answers thusly. as all newspa-
per men would answer IL asked the
same question:
with the German, French. Bel
gian and English boys who man the
trenches. With the German. English,
French and Belgian boys who crowd
the hospitals. With the mothers who
bore these boys. With the father
who saw them grow to manhood and
loved them as they grew. With the
women who were welded with these
boys. With the children who were
left when they marched to the front.
With the poor peasant woman who
struggles against the press of war
engendered poverty With those who
in the cities cry out for food. With
the men who fight for fatherland
hating war in their hearts. With tht
great artists like Kreisler, who mus
turn their marvellous melody-produc

With the people who must live on
their days with lives forever blighteC

whose fields have been trampled un

ism and who must offer up thei
lives. Those are the ones with whom
