ANCRIER YOU GROW
SWEETER YOU BECOME
Professor Says Sour Nature Is
Happy Disposition

Cambridge, MaSs.-Get angry and be
sweet. This is the whole secret. and
the students of the Harvard Medical
school are doing their best to explain
the paradox. 1t was explained to them
by Professor w, h. Cameron here in Il
lecture, just how real "sour nature"
Is really sweet one and how sweet
tempered man has sour disposition.
Professor Cameron explained it all
in his lecture on Bodily Effects of
Fear and Rage" and the point of his
talk was that the angrier man gets
the sweeter he really is
According to Professor Cameron,
when man gets really angry and
wants to kick things around, his stom-
ach and intestines go on strike with
his temper. There is cessation of
the flow of gastric juice and at once
begins an increased flow of the score
tons of the adrenal gland
At the same time the blood becomes
thicker and begins to clot, and the
amount of sugar in the system is
thereby increased by the general com
plication. This is beneficial to the
ih'tii W nv utiS Itl Ills ieIllDcE get tue
better of him. and the angrier he gets
the better it is. When he gets over
the spell he is in better physical shape
than before the antagonistic mood
came on.
Professor Cameron said that he had
discovered the sweetening of human
ity during anger through years Of ex-
perimentS and that he found also in
his researches that Fear and Rage"
were Just rs evident and much the
same in their effects upon dogs and
cats as with human beings Y rays.
he said, had n great deal to do with
aiding him in discovering that the
sweetness of anger was not fallacy.
Hence the students who declare they
understood all that he lectured about
say that a man with perpetual
CROUCH should figure in the white
hope" class II the idea can he worked
out according to the lecturers lines
of sweetness and physical benefit con-
ing from a lost temper

with r. Thorne Baker Under cleo

On the farm where the experiments
were conducted an intensive poultry
house was electrified. The current
was applied for ten minutes every
hour during the day Six chickens

ing mortality of only 15 per cent
when the usual mortality is 80 per
cent during the summer season.
The chickens were ready for mar

three months
The vitality Of the treated chickens
WAS remarkable. In stead Of running
away when one approached the screen.
they would peck vigorously at an eX-
tended hand, every peck giving Il dis
tiuct shock to the owner of the hand
but apparently the electricity was not
felt by the chickens. Sparks few from
their beaks, but this caused them no

Can Hearts Be Brokenp

Hearts, we are told by scientific men.
DO not break, or, nt least so very rarely
az TO be practically out of the question
Perhaps that may be true in one sense.
but In another II is not, for there are
blows dealt by fate and by others that
strike the heart with such keen force as
to destroy it's health and interest in life
for good, and render Il feeble and in-
active.
That the organ goes on beating does
not mean that the soul of the sufferer is
really alive. 1t is langulshing In misery
and pain, ard it's Joy and happiness are
most certainly slain.
The cruelty of another has done this.
So IL is necessary to be most careful
never to bring about this fearful calam-
fly through our selhshness or thought
lessness. A girl must take heed that she
never knowingly kindles the flame of
love where she cannot add the fuel. And
IL this should happen through no fault
of hers. then she must try to gently
quench It as kindly and quickly as she
possibly can.
No wounded hearts should form her
pride; her touch should be one OF heal
ing. and her mission one of help To
bind up the broken-hearted Is nobler
work than to add to their numbers.

Tell-tale Shoelaces

All sorts of queer little trihes point out
character to those who are observant.
Yet few would ever dream OF trying to
puzzle out their friends faults and fall
ings by means of their shoelaces. Never
theless. those who are learned in this sort
of thing tell us that there is much to be
noted in this same matter Of the iaees.
A thin dropping lace. they say, is
sure sign OF bashful and modest dispo-
sition.
You may recognize the elear-hsaded
man Of AFFAIRS by his stifr strong shoe
lace tied in a double knot and always in
place.
While the one who is slack In business
matters has Isess that are always coming
undone,
A girl who is given to flirting is fond of
wearing silken laees tied in a single
looped bow.

Can It be true that there Is n scarcity
in the rag market? In the first place,
many housekeeper does not know that
such market exists. But when she
writes on her linen lawn, when she
steps on many carpet or when she
is sheltered by one of our new roof
ing materials, she is really seeing her
own old rags in a new form. For
modern science like Cinderella's fairy
godmother, can transmute a ragged
dress into paper, carpet, roofing ma
teriaI and many other articles of use
in the home. One of the most impor-
tant dealers in roofing materials said
recently that It was impossible to buy
rags in America; that we are actually
importing from Europe millions of
pounds of rags which their more thrifty
inhabitants save, but which Americans
are too careless or indifferent to save.
Rags are very much needed in the
manufacture OF cheap carpet, but such
is the scarcity of rags that newspapers
are being substituted with the result
ing loss to the value of the carpet and
hence the housekeeper herself.
We have not heard from Mr.. Brandeis
that American women arc wasting as
million dollars year by failing to save
and give to the right persons the rags,
bottles and old iron. but we feel sure that
figures mounting into the thousands are
actually wasted by the American house,
wife's lack of thrift. Amy rags, any old
iron?" We are too proud to answer.
Instead we lump everything onto the
dumbwalter, allowing the janitOr to Gull
out the rags from other waste, II he feels
