POISON OF FATIGuE-lTs TRAG-
EDlES.

Nerve specialists say that great
many suicides are the direct result OF
exhausted brain cells
Not long ago a boy in New York
was driven to suicide from Overtaxing
his brain in an effort to pass difficult
examinations in school. The boy was
ambitious and was obliged to do err
rands before and after school in order
20 buy his clothing, and then he would
sit I'D and study half the night. When
The examinations came around he was
in no physical condition to take them.
His mentality was utterly depleted.
The boy became respondent. melan-
choly. and several times tried to blow
out his brains with revolver; a last
desperate attempt succeeded.
Hundreds of cases Of this kind
might be cited when boys and girls
all over the country are driven to
suicide, or permanently injure their
health by overstudy. excessive brain
stimulation.
Who can estimate the tragedies
which have resulted from exhausted
brain and nerve cells-from the
poison of fatigue?
How often we pick up newspaper
snd read of horrible accidents due
most frequently to overtaxed nerves
and overworked faculties. Quite re-

engineer had been compelled to work

Ambition and Humility.

The highest ambition is the parent
of the truest humility; it makes one
realize that our ultimate aim is so
high that we need power far beyond
our own for the accomplishments OF
so transcendent work; that If we
are truly to be co-workers with Al
mighty God himself in the working
out of the great scheme that rules the
universe, the task is far too great for
our unaided efforts, and we may con-
fidently rely upon power divine to
help us in all our needs.

casion the poison of fatigue hat so
demoralized his faculties that he dis
regarded danger signals. thus causing
the loss of many precious lives.
We all know that our ability dete-
riorates. that our efficiency is cut
down when we are mentally exhaust
ed. Our courage, our initiative. our
perceptions, our power of fine dis
elimination and appreciation, as well
as our observation and our hearing
are impaired, because the blood and
other secretions are loaded with
poison, which bennmbs the faculties.
No man can do his best when he 10
obliged to spur on his jaded faculties;
when he feels his mentality tagging
and is compelled to force it to yield
by pressure. There must be sponta-
neity in the thought or there will be
no vividness- of Imagination, no GER
tainty of memory
/ know business man who has
tremendous brain power, but much of
his work is exceedingly ordinary and
tame, because he does it when his
brain is jaded and tagged. He is con-
stant1y working under a great strain.
The result is that his judgment.
which is very remarkable when he is
rested, is much of the time poor, and
he is frequently irritated because he
makes foolish, unaccountable blum
ders.
We cannot cheat nature without
paying the penalty We may force the
brain to do little extra work one
day, but we get the protest in reac-
ton the next day. The brain will al
ways do its maximum of work during
the year if it is only required to give
out each day the force which is gen.
Grated in that day without drawing
upon the reserve. Who overdraws
from this daily supply faces mental
bankruptcy.
When overfatigued many people
make the mistake of sleeping just
nine hours-when, as matter of fact,
they should sleep until they feel abso-
lutely refreshed, renewed. 1t is only
then that the debris, the broken-down
tissues, all the poisons from the
previous days run, have been elimi-
mated
We have all had the experience of
retiring at night completely discour-
aged over something we were trying
to accomplish, and waking in the
morning with an entirely changed
mental attitude new hope and new
resolve. This is due to the fact that
the poisons have been eliminated
during our sleep, which has also in
creased the resisting power of the
body and filed the blood with new
building material, new courage, new
energy, new life. In fact, after re-
freshing sleep we wake into new
world, a world of hope and expecta-
ton. This is why we should make it
life rule not to decide important
things at night when tired and dis
couraged We are apt to do things
then which we will regret in
the morning, after the poisons have
been burned out of the system and
we are made over into new creatures.
Sleep, rest, complete relaxation, is
simply the antidote for brain poison.

HUMMELSTOWN BOY
SHOT BY CARRANZA? :?


operated in the State of Sonora. Early
in the fighting which occurred in
Northwestern Mexico, Carlson dis
tinguished himself and was assigned
by Colonel Dominquay to drive his au-
tomobile.
Several months ago Colonel Domin-
quay started TO establish a base of op-
erations at Nacozari. Plundering BAN
dts hindered him at every turn, tore
up the tracks of the Nacorazi railroad
which ran into Douglas, Arizona, and
was his sole means OF communication
with the outside world. They also rip
ped down telephone and telegraph
lines. Some weeks ago, his forces sue
ceeded in clearing the country of or
ganized bands of bandits and then
started to repair his lines of communl-
cation.
Carlson Bound and Gagged
While Carlson was directing a small
gang of linemen in mountain pass,
detached mob of guerillas swept doN n
on them and forced them to Throw
down their arms Carlson was the
gagged and taken into the interior
after his Mexican workmen had been
shot, it is reported.
Later the American was confined by
Carranza in the fortress at Aqua
Prieta 1t is not known definitely
WntlneT he Is lNluB OF ue8u.
The utmost efforts are being made to
secure Carlsons release. Civil and
military friends have placed the mat
ter in the hands of the American con-
sui at Hermosillo but it is feared his
efforts will prove futile as officials of
the garrison refuse, even to allow
Carlson to communicate with the out
side world
Left Home i'm Ninctics
Carlson who is 3S years old left his
home in Hummelstown in the late
nineties and, according to his parents
had a wild and adventurous career.
He drifted South and finally landed in
Galveston, Tex, from where he cor
responded with his parents. The last
letter they received from him was just
prior to the great food. For five years
they did not know whether he had
been drowned or not. Then they re-
ceived letter from the heart of Mex
leo, telling of his connection with
mining company.
He kept up a desultory correspond
ence until the present trouble in Mex
leo started. They have not heard from
him since January. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carlson are ~ and 65 years of age,
respectively. Both are in good health.
Six brothers and sisters of Carlson
are scattered over the country. Mrs
Fritz lives in Reading. Another sis
ter, Mrs. Eric Erickson, resides in Chi
cago. Elmer, a brother, makes his
home in Camden; Edwin in Chester
and Charles in Virginia.
