is THEIR SPIRIT BROkEN7

The Stalwarts seem to hesitate to en-
gage in contest with the Progressives
for control Of the Republican party
organization. Is their spirit broken
The Democrat supposed that OF course
the Stalwarts would take advantage OF
the uprising against high taxation and
make the most Of it in a struggle for
domination in their party. But they
seem to be afraid to try again. Our
mistake was, perhaps, quite natural.
We expected them to act like Demo
Gratis; and the Democratic way would
be to come up smiling every time, re-
pardless Of defeat or victory. But this
is evidently not the way Of the Stal-
warts. They act rs though they were
cowed by the manhandling received
from the Progressives. Their only hope
seems TO be that the Democrats will
fight their battles for them.
The Democrats should not turn aside
from faithfully serving the people, to
mix in the fractional striles of their
opponents.

SMOKERS MINDS LOSE
10 PER CENT OF POWER
Tests Show Cigarettes Worst
of Nicotine Foes.

New York .-Tobacco smoking causes
efficiency, according to Il series of ex-
periments by DR., A. ID. Bush.
There was series of 100 tests on
each of fifteen men in several different
psychic fields. The subjects volunteer
ing for the experiments all were med
zeal students ranging in age from TWEEN
ty-one to thirty-two years, of varying
previous experience. from the farm
laborcr to the lifelong student. of di-
vcrgent mental capacity. from the fail
urc to the honor student and of differ
ing habits as to tobacco addiction. The
subjects were attendants at the Uni
vcrsity of Vermont, where Professor
Bush is an instructor in physiology.
Among his findings are:
The greatest actual loss was in the
field Of imagery, % per cent.
The three greatest losses were in the
fields Of imagery, perception and asso-
citation
The greatest loss in these expert
ments occurred with cigarettes,
Nicotine was found in the distillates
of all tobacco tested.
Nicotine was not found in the smoke
OF any tobacco except that of cigar
cites, and then only in traces.
Pyridine was found In the smoke Of
all tobaccos tested.
Pyridine is one OF the decomposition
products of nicotine, the latter being
almost twenty two times as poisonous
as pyridinc, so far MS it's action on the
human body is concerned.
This was the first extensive investi-
CATION of the mental effect of smoking
The recent tests ut Columbia univcr
sity and elsewhere were chiefly for the
physical effects on students in athletic
training.

Effect of Music on Animals.

A unique musical experience has
been conducted recently in France.
1t was resolved to institute concerts
for animals for the purpose of observ-
ing the effects of music upon them
The results of the observations made
established the fact that disconnected
tones on stringed instruments created
no effect upon horses beyond causing
some of the animals to manifest signs
of Impotence, but when melody was
played the horses turned toward the
players, pricked up their ears and
showed plainly the pleasure they expe-
rienced.

of his first year in restoring representa-

"Fool's Paradise"

BY fools paradise" is meant a
vain hope, and, secondarily. unlawful
pleasure. or anything promising what
can never be fulfilled, The phrase
comes from the old schoolmen i'm
ecclesiastical history, who taught
that just outside of Paradise was a
'limbus fatuorum," or paradise of
fools, where those who had not the
full use of their senses in life spent
their eternity-neither in heaven or
hell but very near to the abode of the
blessed.
