was the feature of the centennial cele-
bration of Hamilton, Ont.
At 4:45 o'clock the afternoon OF August
IL, Mayor Allen, of Hamilton, turned the
first sod and the work was begun. Con-
tractor James Buyers, to whom a great
measure Of the credit Of this epoch-mak-
ing feat is due, had his plans so fully ar
ranged that not a moment was lost. The
mayor stepped aside and a score of dig
gers fell to work.
At o'clock, the evening Of August 10,
the last blow was struck. Two hours dur
ing the night were lost as a result of fail
ure OF the electric lighting system. With
this deduction and time lost waiting for
materials to dry or set, the actual work
ing time was brought down to twenty-four
hours and the house in day" was

ADD Strength
to Men in Anger

HHEN under intense anger have been
t known to perform prodigies of
strength far beyond their normal
ability. This is. due to the two hate
glands" in every human system. These
glands are scientifically known as the
suprarenal capsules or adrenal glands
They are each about the size OF a pea,
and are just above the kidneys
The secretion of these glands is called
adrenalin. and the secretion cannot be
controlled by the will. When il is poured
into the blood the amount of sugar in
the blood will rise in the course of few
minutes between 10 and 80 per cent
Hate and other strong emotions cause an
increased secretion of adrenalin in the
glands and simultaneously an increase
OF sugar in the blood. and this sudden
accession of sugar supplies the muscle
with much-needed food.
1t has been proved, also. that the re-
moval OF the adrenalin glands has a
weakening effect on muscular power. and
an injection of adrenalin has an invig-
Grating effect, and not only does adrena-
lin bring out sugar from the liver stock
to feed the muscle. but it also restores
fatigued muscles-at least temporarily.
Men in a state OF hatred. therefore, are
IN the same condition as men who are
putting out their utmost physical effort;
they are in condition. should they
come across the object OF their hate to
exert the maximum harm on 1t.
