Why Your Best Brain Work Is Done
When You're Ill.
Philip Osterman. M. D.

Philip Osterman. M. D.
If you want to do your very best
brain work don't keep yourself too fit
But remember. too, that the longer
you work when you are really i'll the
greater will be the breakdown which
must follow.
1t is generally considered that
man who is physically fit necessarily
does better brain work than man
who is slightly off color. This is by
no means the case, for under certain
circumstances man who is not physl-
cally fit is capable Of better work than
a man in the best of health. or
course. | am not referring to cases
Of serious illness. but to cases when
a man is ''seedy." out Of sorts or possl-
bly, sickening for some illness.
slightly feverish. Now, fever invari-
ably hastenS all the processes Of tho
human body. For example. 1t pro-
duces an increased flow of ideas. IN
the case Of a novelist or man whose
work requires wild imanination such
state of mind would naturally be
valuable up to a point.
But an increase of fever beyond
that point does not imply an increase
Of ideas-at least coherent ideas le
is this vast profusion Of ideas due
to increasing fever that finally pro
0uces delirium.
But the chief cause Of a man dong
better work when he is i'll Is the
increased will power he summons up
on such occasions When a man IS
exceedingly fit he thinks everything
else IN the world is all right He
feels that everything is going on eN-
cellently He does not do quite ms
| best He tries only three-quarters as
hard as he can.

ONLY FOUR STATES LACK
COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAWS

Washington Star.
Only four States in the Union roov
are without compulsory school attar.
dance laws. according to a bunatt,
just issued by the United States h,l..
reau Of education. They are Al
bafna. Florida, Georgia and Mississ.p-
pi.
While the South Carolina and t..
laws are not as comprehensive ami
trict as those of some of the otb,
States that have had compulsory Law.
for many years, they are diStinct
recognition of the compulsory prfr-
ciple and represent a big step forwar3
in the two States.
The Texas law requires all childror
between the ages of eight and four
teen years to attend School-six1y DAYS
the first year. eighty days the second
year and one hundred days thereafter
in every school year. 1t provides for
attendance officers, fixes penalties f.-
violations and provides for the estab-
iShment of parental or truant schools
where necessary. The law goes int,
effect SeptembeE l. 1916.
The South Carolina law is optional
but the State authorities are hopeful
that a large proportion of the districts
will vote to have the law apply to
them. State Supt. Swearingen is urs-
ing that every local tax district CIR

put every child in school during 1915

Officers of the United States bureau
| of education believe that the action ~
! Texaxs and South Carolina in enactine
compulsory school attendance laws will
| have an effect not only on the four
! States still without such laws, but also
| on States where the school attendance
| laws operates only in part. Vigorous
| campaigns are under way in several
| States to make compulsory education
| effective throughout al 1.-The territory
| of the States and for longer periods
| of attendance.
In Alabama, where school problems
| are receiving special attention this
| year. the need for a compulsory atteu
| dance law as one of the most impor-
| tant steps in progress is keenly recog-
| nized. Present and former State su-
| perintendents of education have ure-
ed the enactment Of suitable law.
State Supt. W. F. Feagin declares in
! his annual report: No one would
question for a moment that the State
has the right to compel the parent to
feed and clOthe his child. and TO carry

ItaIy's Participation in War
Calculated To Have
Effect

New York. May 22-Judging from the
course of today'S stock market. Wall Street.
or at least the speculative fraternity, is
proceeding on the theory that Italy'S parti-
cipation in the war is calculated to shorten
the conflict.
This theory is hardly to be reconciled.
however. with tbs. fact that the most
striking gains of the brief session were
again made by the War specialties. Cru
cible Steel, which made maximum gain
of 4& points, contributed twenty five per
cent to the first hours business. The
entire list took part in the rise. which was
most active in the first thirty minutes. af
ter which trading dwinded, with some eff
feet on values.
London was observing a holiday the
local market was without guidance from
that quarter.
The statement Of the president of the
United States Steel Corporation that the
output Of the company's plants has increas-
ed to q per cent as against 80 per cent
last January was doubtless responsible
for the strength of the steel shares.

THE FILTHY FLY--
 A PUBLIC MENACE

Under this heading a series of short articles prepared by Prof. M. J. McHenry of the department of science in Hendrix College will be published from day to day in the Log Cabin Democrat. The articles will be found of great interest, as we'll as of great value from standpoint of pub lie health and sanitation.

 WHAT WE HAVE DONE ABOUT
 THE FLY IN CONWAY.
 This ordinance No. 159, passed De- cember 10, 1907, further provides that each closet shall be kept in such san- itary condition that no offensive or unhealthful effiuvia shall escape from them. In pursuance of this it is re- quired that a constant supply of pull verized dry earth or of quick lime be kept on hand and shall be used at least once a day. Violation brings a daily fine of not exceeding $15.
 A strict observance of this require ment just noted will give an odorless closet. I know because I have tried it and have seen it tried. Also it checks the fly. "No filth, no flies and no disease Thus the typhoid fly is hindered in his deadly work. And thus our health is preserved. The sewer system is one of the great est things that Conway has achieved for herself, but the drycloset will all ways be with us, so we might as we'll face the situation and deal with it. And most of us are guilty of violating some portion of this ordinance. Let us admit it-but turn over a new leaf.
 Something further on this same or dinance appears next.

THE SCENIC LINE TO THE SAN
 FRANCISCO EXPOSITION.

II you are going to the Panama Pacific Exposition, you will surely want to use the railroad that will per- mt you to see the most on the way. Lying between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast is a stretch of more than two thousand miles of wonderland. All the magnificent sights of Europe do not compare in natural grandeur with the mountain heights, the canon depths, the crags and cataracts, the forest giants, the sweeps of plain and river vistas which unfold in kaleidoscope order before the eyes of the traveller between St. Louis and San Francisco, if he uses the Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande and Western Pacific.
 i;'e trip over these lines is abso luteiy the most picturesque from the Mississippi river to Colorado, across the Rockies and through the Sierra Nevadas to the Pacific coast. This is the route of The Sceni Limited a fast, ail-steel train between St. Louis and San Francisco and the only through train between S-t. Louis and the Pacific coast
 Be sure to use The s, chic Limited one way anyway. For complete de- serlption of train and trip, call upon or write J. w. James, Aren't St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern. Conway. Ark.
