"GINGLES JINGLES"
SMILES.

To lubricate the wheels Of
fate there's nothing like smile.
1t makes the going easy and
not up grade all the while. A
smiling face will do more good
than doctors dope and pills. 1t
puts the cheer in cheerfulness
and cures you of your ills. By
smiling you will catch the light
and mingle with the rays of our
old sun who knows no nights but
bright and pleasant days. Just
swing in line and can the blues
and smile and don't complain.
The clouds you'll find will clear
away and sunshine follow rain.
Not only will it do you good to
come through with smile, but
all you come in contact with will
initiate your style, and thus true
happiness you gain, but in no
other way can you be truly
happy, SO just try it for a day,
and note the change it makes in
you and in the ones you meet
and watch the crouch hike in to
clear and discomfort retreat.
Success is smiles commercial
lied, they get you by for fair,
SO join the brotherhood Of smiles

State Senator Jerome J. Day of Mos
COW, will be Idaho's representative to
make the trip to Chicago and consult
there with the syndicate behind a
prominent engineer, on the closing OF
a contract financing the north and
south railroad. Negotiations carried
on between Governor Alexander and
Senator Day as we'll as his brother,
Harry L. Day, the well-known mining
man of Wallace, who is in the. e.Icity as
sisting in closing up the affairs of the

trip in response to urgent kilograms
from the engineer who made the in

That the mission of the Idaho repre-

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless

And look upon myself and curse my

Yet in these thoughts myself almost de-

Happy 1 think on Thee-and then my

Like to the lark at break OF day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at
heavens gate.
For thy sweet love remembered, such
wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state
with kings.

THE MEDULLA OBLONGATA
SEAT OF LIFE AND ACTION
Bv WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

n ALL It Just the medulla and never
~ mind Its shape. 1t is the upper en-
larged part Of the spinal cord, the bulb,
about an inch long, and lies upon the base
Of the ol,ull just within the opening where
the spinal cord enters.
In the medulla are the nerve centres
which control the most vital functions
the centres of respiration, swallowing,
breathing, the vasomotor centre, centres
governing heart action, the snee2lng cen
tire, the coughing centre, the centre gov
erning the act Of vomiting and others.
In this little medulla of man, stI.:-
ture you could inclose in nutshell lte
resides. Other parts of the brain are
essential for conscious efforts; the splnai
cord is essential for carrying impulses
to and from the brain and the limbs but
life itself requires only an int;.ct medulla.
The breathing centre has been supposed
to be the vital point. When u is de-
stroyed the animal feels no desire TO
breathe. But II is incorrect to say that
death occurs simultaneously WIN tne
cessation of breathing. Any normal per-
son can hold his bre~ tn 40 seconds, and
by first breathing just trifle more deep
" for two minutes, lie can easily hold ms
breath for two minutes One student
held his breath eight minutes, another
ten minutes, by inhaling some oxygen

est approach to instantaneous death is

dula and brain. Even then the heart
