Diagram of Normal Eye, with the Light Rays

accustomed to receive light rays horizontally, and

Glar the the Eyebas and Lead Headaches

Hold a mirror up close so that you
can see your eyes, and place bright
light right baoye the mirror. You
will see the pupil Of your eye imme-

of your eye from the glare. Take
away the lamp and tue pupil will in

In other words the adaptation + the
pupil for extremes of brightness or
darkness is not instantaneous.
Now, these changes\ in the size OF
the pupil are produced by muscular
action. When we are working or
reading in rooms lighted with glaring
unprotected lights, these muscles be-

Why BETTER TEETH Mean MORE WORK for the DENTIST

clean, healthy mouth means TO person in
health, happiness, and even earning capacity,
a school was experimental upon The chill
dren OF the Marion School, of Cleveland, were
examined thoroughly. Not merely their teeth,
but their general health their mental ability
and even their morals were carefully noted,
Various photographs were made of each child

with the same letter. These things are mucn
more important to the insane than the meaning
of what they say or hear.
Insane persons enjoy the sOcalled mystical
writings. They claim to discover a profound
meaning in the literature of the new cults, par
ticularly those with Oriental origins. If you ask
them to explain in plain language what these
things really mean they tell you that you must
study and progress in order to understand.
The sonorous phrases of these mystics are an
irritation and affront to a person Of keen in
tellect but to the feeble minded they are a de-
light, because they give them the sensation of
profound thought. In this they like many
sane persons, is proved by the average out
door political speech.
A politician, when he addresses the crowd, is
supposed to give reasons why his platform or
policy character justifies the support of his
hearers. Yet this is really small and nsignifi-
cant part of most stump speaking The major
part consists of thunderous affirmations that
the country is all right, that he believes in pro-
tecting the flag, that he believes in the integrity
of our forefathers, and such high sounding but
meaningless utterances. This sort of talk must
impress sane people as well as insane, for if it did
not pay it would not be delivered
Crazy people think the way normal people
think when shocked or preoccupied and the way
crowds think when under the hypnotic effect of
prolonged staring at a speakers mesmerc ges-
lures.

lights give light than modern gas nantes but

Look at Tungsten electric lamp, and then at a

Tungsten is much glazing and annoying to the

bright cylinder of light in the Welsbach mantle
1t is impossible for the eye to Judge the usefulness
of a light by its apparent brightness The inner wires
of the electric bulb look the eye like large luminous
slate pencils-whereas in reality they are less than
1-1000th of inch in diameter, smaller than 2
human hair The stars, which points of light
when viewed through the most powerful tee
scopes, appear to the eye like discs of some size and

is really no bigger than pea.

A III, ages and races have held
- the belief that big men gen.
4 y orally have little wits. DR..
Charles Mercier, in his recent lee
ture in London on heredity, stated
that this common belief is correct
and gave interesting scientific rea-
sons for 1t.
It was no accident that Caesar,
Napoleon, Nelson, Wellington, Grant,
Lee, Edison were of moderate size
or understood The greater the mind
The smaller the body, is the rule.
Charlemagne is rather notable ex-
ception. Seated, Charlemagne was
bigger than the average, but stand
ing he was shorter.
Dr. MERCER states that the brain
and all the rest of the body are
rivals through life, each demanding
the lions share of the nourishment
supplied by the blood. The brain ap-
parently has no limit to its demands,
and when it gets chance it starves
the body to build itself up. The pre-
cocious child is almost invariably
understood. This means that the
brain has taken advantage of the
body
1t is usually noticed in regard to
precocious children that a time
comes when their marvellous mental
development ceases. They not only
cease to make further gains on their
fellow school children, but usually
lose their previous gains.

Use a FAN When You FEEL COLD

The fan not only removes the hot air from the
vicinity of the radiator and brings up the cold
air from the distant corners but it pulls down
the great reserve of otherwise useless air along
the ceiling
OF course, tenants who use a fan after this
fashion will be shocked to learn that it is said to
increase the landlords coal bill somewhat If
they can overcome their natural reluctance in
this matter it will add greatly to their comfort
during the cold days.
II will also perhaps sadden the fan user to
know that he is getting more than his share of
the general supply of steam. The fan, in heating
the room, of course cools the radiator which
condenses the steam. This in time is replaced
by more steam from the boiler which would have
gone elsewhere

Little details ignored by sane persons are

tremendous facts. Normal people at times of
great shock report that details flowed in on
them with an unusual clearness and distinct

Often these ideas, pulled in by force of asso-
