, dinartly, however. Ia man IL care
full about his diet. his exercise, and
the ventilation of his home and
working place, the blues will not
bother him.
But sometimes they have their
roots in conditions which only a
medical examination can reveal. and
for the correction OF which expert
treatment Is needed Unsuspected
eyestrain. for example, is fertile
case Of the blues.
So are disorders OF the stomach.
kidneys, liver. etc. which may re-
quire a careful medication In addi-
tion to treatment by dieting. Again.
the source of the trouble may be In
diseased conditions of the mouth
and teeth.
Many a person subject to the blues
has found his depressed state OF
mind completely relieved by the
simple process Of thorough dental
cleaning
Moreover, the man who recog-
nizes the physical origin of the
blues. and takes corrective action TO
bring and keep his bodily organs up
10 par. has this further advantage !;
He is able. far more readily than
the man In a weakened physical
state. to overcome psychically caus'
ed depression--that is, depression
due to worry. grief. and so forth. As
DR.. j. ]. Walsh has well said:
1T is when persons are run down
in health that grief becomes ex-
tremely difhcult or apparently i'm.
possible TO bear.
Indeed, more often than not the
physical condition Of the grief
stricken person Is prominent fac
tor In the production Of the state OF
feeling which causes grief 10 be ex-
asgerated: while, on the other hand.
this state OF mind itself reacts upon
the physical being so as to make It
more sluggish in all its functions.
"As q consequence q vicious cir.

In short, both to prevent attacks
of the blues and to ht oneself the
better TO Withstand emotional
shocks Of all sorts. II is indispensa-
bic TO keep In as good physical con.

WASHINGTON. Feb Ii.-Until
the nomination OF Louis n. Brandeis
to the United States supreme court,
objections which have been made
to proposed candidates for the court
have always come from a different
quarter. Labor organizations and
peoples league have been the pro-
testants. Hearings hitherto have
been secret and every efort TO force
the publication of hackers and en-
dorsers OF candidates has failed.
William J. Bryan in past years
consistently demanded such public
iiy. When President Taft promoted
Justice White 20 be chief justice.
Bryan published an open letter Oct.
90. 1911. In which he said: "Ycu ap-
pointed 10 the chief jus,iceship of
the supreme court Justice White,
who L. years ago took the trust side
OF the trust question. You appoint
ed him ever the head Of Justice
Harlan xho had served longer and
taken the peoples side on trust ques-
tions. You appointed Gov. Hughes
10 the supreme bench after he had
interpreted yoar platform to suit
the trusts ana proceeded to join
Chief Justice White and carry out
your platform promise to amend the
antitrust law by weakening 1t. :"
Bryan asked Taft 10 make public
the recommendations, written and
verbal, upon which he had made
these and other appointments and
Ito let the people know the infu'
ences that dictated your appoint
ments." President Taft replied eva
sively saying that he considered the
questions IAN Insult 10 the supreme
court"
Another Judge whose appointment
aroused considerable opposition was
Horace H. Lurton. The latter was
known in his native state as "Pri-
vate Car Lurton." owing TO his
notorious habi, OF using private cars
OF certain southern railroad for
personal travel at railroad expense.
This was one OF the charges made
against him. Lurton had been an
associate OF Taft on the bench. He
was first appointed a federal Judge
on recommendation OF former SEN
ator Joseph b. Foraker, who became
notorious by the discovery that while
In the senate he had received large
amounts OF money from John ID.
Archbold OF Standard Oil. When
Lurton's nomination was urged dur
ing Roosevelt's administration the
latter Investigated his record and re-
fused TO name him. His confirma,
ton was unsuccessfully fought by
the progressivcs In the sonate.
When willis Van DevaDter was
nominated by TAFT to the supreme
court, again objection was made by
labor unions and representatives OF
the people and again endorsements
flowed in from big corporation in
terests. And again the president re-
fused to make public tho endorse
ments. Van Devantcr was a pro-
tege OF the senators from Wyoming
Warren and Clark. The latter, II
will be noted. Ia one OF the oppon-
ents Of the Brandeis appointment.

no bird or beast or fsh OF reptile

sOlemnity OF animals is the one
really intolerabIe thing on this
earth. They are cut on from the

worst consequence OF the war Is It's
tragic solemnity. II starves us OF
laughter. which is the food OF the
gods. ''s A wise man has warned
US TO interrogate ourselves when
we laugh. totally and entirely re.
pudiate that diabollcal doctrine.
Never interrogate yourself when you
laugh. You should never look a
laugh In the mouth. There are
many kinds OF laughter, but they
are all good Interrogate yourself,
II you like, when you weep. But II
you value the weIl.beIng OF your
soul, never interrogate yourself
when you laugh. Laughter Is a
good in itself and an end by itself.
The quality OF laughter, like the
quality OF mercy. ought never TO be
strained. Laugh before you look!"
