Many of our admonitions to chill

Mrs Fitch writes: Ought not

Self-eoveTnnent certainly ought
to be the greatest factor. but self

straint of the lower self. The
higher and better life finrls its
truest expression in freedom from
the lower instincts. Every indi-

THE GIRL.

spoke of falling in love. there is much
to be said for and against the early

man the Glance to enjoy the vanishing

Your wife grow up together and mold

Alcohol Not Stimulant.
Prof. Ralph 8. Lille of Clark UNI
versity says that a stimulant or tonic
of the living body is anything which
arouses a tissue into new activity, Of
modifies the activity of one already
active.
Chemicals are not by any means tha
most common causes Of renewed or all
tered activity in living things. One OF
the characteristic features of stinula-
stigate a large series of changes.
When one Of your nerves Is given a
stimulant such as a pinch. burn. a
freeze or a punch, the disturbance set
up in the nerve, no matter what its ra-
ture. spreads also to the other nerves
in contact with 1t. until 1t reaches he
brain and spinal cord.
There Is no visible or ultra visible
mechanical change in toned. stimulated
or irritated nerve. There's some chem
ical or carbonic acid, but this does
not altogether explain the wonderful.
unseen powers Of the nerve force.
There Is. however, an easily ascer-
tainable electric current-''biolectric az
ton. as 1t Is termed-associated with
a nerve in action. In fine, a nerve In
tone and irritated Is, more or less, the
same as copper wire with electricity
flowing through 1t. This electrical con-
dition in living tissues. more particular
ly the nerves. is the essential peculiarity
that accounts for its self extending i'm
pulse or message"
How Nerves Work.
Tho thing which bestirs your body to
action, which moves your muscles. spurs
your brain and sets your nerves q tingle,
Is an electrical change due to a sudden
fall in the electric power at the skin or
outside portion of the nerve. This dif-
ference In electric potential. between
the outher and the innermost parts OF
tn nerve, causes the message hastily to
travel along the nerve fiber.
This explains how a ray of light iS
carried to the other tissues; how move
ments of the air are finally heard
how a pinch Is felt; how heat, cold, pain,
taste, smell. movement and the other
things are registered In your cosmos
