Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1916-12-12
By GARRETT P. SERvISs.

The brain is OUR instrument OF
knowledge, but il tells us nothing
about itself, There is no branch of
human physiology so little developed
as that which pertains to the brain.
At Cornell university Prof. Wilder
has laboratory, or museum, of
brains. Many men have bequeathed
their brains to him, and his collec-
ton is Of thrilling interest. But Prof,
Wilder will tell you that true phren-
ology has not yet been invented.
Brains have been dissected. and meas
urcd, and weighed, and subjected to
minute microscopical examination
but their real secret yet escapes the
searcher.
Wherei resides the power of the
brain' In the gray matter" some
will tell you. But, then, what is the
gray matterl how do its cells acta
where, does intelligence Turk in themi
and how does it express itself2
Are size and weight the sources of
relative brain power? A big locomo-
tive is more powerful than little
one, but, notwithstanding the popular
belief, this is probably not true OF
brains--at least, size gives no certain
measure of power.
Daniel Webster had an immense
brain, and he wore a 7%-inch hat,
1alf an inch larger than the average,
But Henry Clay, his great rival, wore
a 6ss-inch hat, half an inch smaller
than the average. Cuvier, the natur-
alist, had one OF the biggest and
heaviest brains on record. Emerson,
the philosopher, had a surprisingly
small brain, no larger than Henry
Clay's, as indicated by the size of
his head Evidently, it is the organ
ization of the brain rather than its
cubic content which counts for intel
lectual power,
Still, other things being equal, size
of brain must be of great importance,
Below certain minimum size, idiocy
always accompanies a very small
brain. But Prof. Wilder says that
il one undertakes to judge of the size
of the brain by the size of the head,
he is likely to be misled by mere
thickness Of skull
A large, heavy skull often encloses
a relatively small brain. That was

Once upon time there were two
Beauteous Maidens who married two
Clever Youths who were Up and
Coming Men, but who had still their
Fortunes to make.
One of these Maidens was a Noble
Young Creature, with Altruistic
Ideals, who held Exalted Conceptions
of Wife's Sacred Duty.

muned with her own Soul. that it

EXPLAINS WHY MEN
ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald
every Gay and don't know the reason
why. Many of them never expect to
save even what hair is left.
This is indeed pity, says a
specialist because badness usually
comes from carelessness and anyone
who gives the scalp little attention
should always have an abundance of
good healthy hair. Dust and dirt
help to cause badness by clogging the
pores in the scalp and giving the
dan6ruff germs fertile ground for
breeding.
The treatment is very simple:
Shampoo at least once in ten days
and destroy the dandruff germs by
applying frequently Partisan Sage,
delightfully."- efficient preparation that
f. D. Pierce is now recommending as
the surest treatment to stop falling
hair, to remove dandruff and to re-
fresh and invigorate the hair roots.
The cost of generous bottle Of
Partisan Sage is YER! little and drug
gists everywhere have been author
lied to offer it with guarantee of per-
feet satisfaction or money returned
So and guaranteed in Orleans by
F. j Kinney.

Washinaton's Mother,

Mary Ball was the granddaughter of
soldier who sought his fortune in
Virginia in the latter part of the
seventeenth century. Colonel William
Bah may have been a good soldier,
but was an Indifferent farmer. He
left two sons, William and Joseph, and
the latter was the father of Mary
When her sons fame attracted atten-
ton to her and inquiries began to be
made about her youth most Of those
who could testify about it had passed
away and those who remained could
tell little. But upon one point there
was unanimous agreement and that
was that in her girlhood she was cele-
brated for her beauty.

the History of the English People"
mo nobler figure ever stood in the
forefront of a nations life wrote
Green Of Washington.
Some of the other tributes paid to
Washington by Englishmen are the
following:
''The test of the progress of mankind
will be the appreciation OF the charac-
ter of Washington" said Lord Brough-
am.
'All l can say" said Gladstone. lis
that | look upon Washington among
great and good men as one peculiarly
good and great and that he has been to
me for more than forty years light
upon the path of life"
Washington, the father of American
independence, was the father of Brit
1sh freedom; also the American Revo-
luton in it's reaction upon English
public life made England democratic

4 greatest Englishman of his cen
tury," many Britons have join
ed with Americans in paying
homage to the first president of the
United States, whose birthday we
celebrate on Feb. %. In many, if not
all, of the Washington's birthday fes-
tivities held in London by the mem
bers of the American colony in the
British capital. Englishmen. Irishmen,
Scotchmen and Welshmen have shared.
Although at first Washington was
reyiled by the British as traitor to
the British king, under whose rule
Washington was born, it was not long
after the close of the American Revo-
luton and the winning of American
independence that the British writer's
and orators began paying tribute to

How to Keep Cut Flowers Fresh For
Two Days.

How to Keep Cut Flowers Fresh For
Two Days.
Many people find that they cannot
wear cut flowers even for one after
noon, because in some cases the body
heat seems to wilt them. But if this
can be avoided it is quite possible to
find bunch almost as fresh the sec
ond day as the first if they are prop
erly guarded overnight. Keep the box
that they came in, and when you take
them off hold the stems under running
water for a few minutes, taking care
not to wet the flowers themselves.
Then wrap them up in oiled paper and
put them in the refrigerator or in q
covered box outside near the window.
This treatment seems to restore the
which so soon becomes musty and rank
if they are kept unwrapped in a close
room.
Some people think pinch of salt in
the water will keep cut flowers fresh
longer, and so it does in some cases.
In others it seems to change the colors
a little. With roses it is successful.
but not so much with violets. A piece
of gum camphor is said to be an eX-
cellent preservative in the water, and
others advocate a small lump of char
coal. But in any case the water should
be changed daily and the flowers put
in cool place overnight

LAME EVERY MORNING
A Bad Back is Generally Worse in the

A back that aches all day and
causes discomfort at night is usually
worse in the morning. Makes you

You can't get rid of kidney back

especially prepared for weakened CIR
disordered kidneys-have been CRATE

Testimony of Barton people proves
the merit of Doan's.

me constantly, and [ suffered from

HOW TO DYE IN SPITE OF

!. Because of the very serious
!. shortage of German dyes and
!. the delay in replacing them by
!. good American ones the price Of
!. dyeing any kind Of materials has
!. gone up, and the risk must be
!. assumed by the customer. There
!. are, however, lots of things
i. which may be dyed at home for
!. a few cents and which are every
!. bit as satisfactory as those done
+ at big establishment.
!. It is therefore the simplest
!. process in the world to dissolve
!. bottle of red ink in porcelain
!. kettle full of hot water and add
!. a little salt and then dip all the
+ faded pink silk blOuseS and all
i. the yellowish white blouses in
\ your wardrobe, which will come
!. out a delicate shell pink. They
!. must be wet when put into the
!. mixture, and they should be
+ vigorously stirred around with
!. two wooden sticks, and when
X taken out they should be put at
!. once into warm water to rinse
i. out the extra dye.
!. In using the regulation dyes,
!. which may be bought for 10
!. cents a package, be sure to fol-
i. low the directions carefully and
i. remember that pink blouse put
!. into a very weak solution of
!. blue dye will come out a deli
!. cate lavender. A blue blouse
j. that has faded may be dipped
!. in weak yellow dye and will come
!. out dainty green, while a sand
!. colored blouse dipped in red dye
!. will be q coral shade.
i. If you have some soiled white

How to Transfer Feathers From One
Pillow to Another.

First soap well the inside of the new
case with a cake Of soap only just
barely moistened. Then sew the case
up, leaving an opening just large
enough to allow the feathers to pass
In easily. Then open a space in the
old case exactly the same size and sew
the two together. The feathers can
then be passed from the old case to
the new one without any mess what
ever.
