How to Get
the BEST
Out OF Your
OWN SELF
Bv William Lee Howard, MD.

~NE Winter got caught in Siberia by the early
" freezing Of the river; When the ice went out in
49, the early Summer anxiously waited for the
r,,io steamer which would for the first time. 1t
got to he 50 late that commenced to make preparations
TO get out on a fiat boat.
Finally the little wood-burning steamer slowly
reached the native village without the expected whistle
And this is why she tardy and nearly useless.
Every time she got up good pressure OF steam to 90
her work the native hands board would pull OH the
whistle and hold it. When the boat reached col
lection of huts the thing done. The noise OF
te whistle was what interested the natives; the prog
ress of the boat nothing to them.
In fact there was but little progress Built to make
some seven miles hour and get the river and back
before the ice closed her in, her efficiency less
encd that she dropped to a crawl. Not until the captain
took matters in hand and plugged the whistle could he
utilize the force and efficiency of his engine
1t is just like this in most cases Of inenciency in
men, In various ways they waste blow off the power
which should and be used to make progress. Not
all are to bame they have been taught the truth

How Alcohol Ruins Memories

R. SMITH. of Heidelberg, has recently
- conducted some experiments which
show how thoroughly alcohol disturbs
the memory. A number of persons were given
three or four glasses of beer day and re-
uuired TO memorize certain sentences and
write them down on paper. Half a dozen ex-
periments were made with each person. No
sentence was longer than four lines. The per-
son was given the sentence and told to go and
write il out; in fifteen or twenty minutes an
other sentence was given and the process re-
peated.
For twenty days these experiments We're
carried on. The same amount of beer was
given daily. After the sixth day the errors
and losses in memory increased. and on the
twentieth day the losses amounted to 20 per
cent: that is, in one hundred experiments over
seventy Of them We're errors and mistakes. The
faults of memory steadily increased The
first days experiments showed a small amount
of error. Then there was steady increase

This experiment confirms Professor kraepe-
Inns tests of remembering numbers and words.
He found that without alcohol one hundred
figures could be remembered after forty rane
titions an average of two and a half number
to each repetition. With alcohol the sam" Der
son could only remember sixty figures after
sixty repetitions. an average of one number
for each repetition. This showed diminutlol
of normal memory to the extent of over 81
per cent
In everyday life, where accuracy OF memory
is called for it is a common fact that alcoh"
drinkers are the most unreliable EVenlS

These experiments bring out the astohlNn
ing fact that the memory of all tne oinn
functions, suffers most pronouncedly from 'n'
use of alcohol.

wherein the markings took the form of longi-

young animals of all kinds and great number

In young puma it found that the spots
are much more distinct than in the lion, and
that they are solid. On the back they show
tendency to run in longitudinal lines, The fore

Owing to the superficial similarity in their
markings, the puma and the lion were supposed
to be near relations more careful study of
their markings and of their anatomy has shown
that this view is untenable

What Your PULSE BEATS Show

for twenty minutes, as 1t is during nursing,
1t takes about ten minutes for the rate to re-
turn to the normal And during long con
tinued exercise baby's pulse sometimes drops
below normal and continues there for four or
five minutes.
In diagnosing disease the pulse can be OF
the greatest service only when its rate during
working hours is compared with that during
sleep, when the body's activities are at their
lowest ebb. The lowering OF the pulse-rate
during sleep is merely the result of more
nearly perfect restfulness. The number of
beats would be decreased much while
awake if we could only maintain the same
degree of rest If an irregularity in the
puse-rate is due to certain diseases of the
heart it will persist whether asleep or awake,
but ii, on the other hand. it Is caused by
some purely nervous affection it will disap-
pear during sleep

There are black leopards which to most people

Why There Are Fewer RICkETY BABIES

only where there is extreme poverty especially
lack of proper food
Ricketts, is children's disease Although usually to
be observed after BIRTH sometimes does not be-
apparent until the child is several years old The
tendency to it may be inherited from one or both
parents who themselves "rickety in childhood
it may result from the mothers delicate health at the
time the child born being nursed.
The most frequent of ricketts, in babies is the
extreme poverty which leads to unhealthfu homes,
scant food and overworked mothers The disease is
most apt attack the later children OF family when
the mother has had many children for her strength
the fathers have not kept pace with the in
crease in the size of the family.
Hereditary blood disease will often develop ricketts,
and sometimes lack of lime salts in the blood brings

~HYSICIANS are beginning to beieve
- that the rate at which your pulse beats
Il is a sort of index to the extent OF the
chemical changes that are taking place in
YOUR body The beats become more rapid
when YOU are using your muscles, as i'll walk
ing or running, because the liberation of
energy for the exertion necessitates greatly
increased amount of chemical change.
Not only all the more vigorous activities of
the body. but such hitherto unsupported ones
as the slightest muscular movement and the
production of carbon dioXid, are accurately re-
fected in the puse-rate. In very young
babies, for instance, it has been noted that
even the raising and lowering OF limb VIII
often elevate the pulse-beat from ten 90
twenty beats; while violent exercise, such as
nursing or crying causes an increase OF fifty
TO sixty beats When the pulse is increased

- HE problem of making an
automobile carry more pas
Sengers without increasing its
size and cost is one that has baifled
the designers ever since motor cars
came into general use. Every owner
of four-passenger car knows how
often he wishes he could carry six
persons in comfort and in the same
way the man with iive-passenger
car is always wishing that he had
room for seven.
At last an inventor has devised
means of increasing the capacity Of
a four-passenger car to six without
the size of the body or making it
cost much more.
The diagram on the right shows
how this desirable end is attained.
1t IS done by what is known as
staggering place for an extra
person on both the front and rear
seats. These extra seats project back
of the ones on either side of them SO
that they allow their occupants
plenty of room for free movement of
their legs and elbows.

To get the best that is in you to
work two facts must be comprehend
ed One is that any blowing off Of
energy which does not help in devel
oping your body and your brain, is
slowing you down. You will lose
ground which you can never, never
regain. Another fact is that to do
your best you must have to take in
terest in your work. This may sound
like moralizing. 1t is MOTT is a
physiological fact. Non-interest or
grouchy and complaining attitude az
fects the purity and the amount of
