LAUGHTER AND TEARS
 ARE SAFETY VALVES

Laughter and tears, according to a recent book by Dr. George w. Grille. are two forms of the same mechan- ism-a human safety valve to pre- vent the results of emotion from injur- ing the body.
 When a pedestrian slips on a ba- mana peel. and just as he is about to tumble. recovers his equilibrium. the onlookers, by laughing, secure relief from the integration to run to his res cue. If he falls and hurts himself the onlookers run to his aid, thereby consuming the motor integration-and hence there is no laughter

Days.

The Great Griffith Show will be the
attraction at the Grand theater for four
days commencing Wednesday, jan

notists, but because Of the peculiar
manner In which the show is staged,
the word hypnotism1ts a misnomer. o.
B. Griffith who is at the head Of the
attraction claims the distinction OF be-
ing the Oldest practicing operator In
America today and has the reputation
of being the busiest man on the stage
in his line There is but one curtain,
it is up at SIS and down at 1915,
these two hours not one idle moment
lis allowed to creep in. The young lady
now under q hypnotic sleep in the
store window OF Charles B. Highland,
302 Main street, will be removed to
the Grand theatre and Weakened on the
stage at $50 tomorrow evening.
Mrs. Griffith has the appearance OF
16.year-old girl with big soft brown
eyes that lack the snap and fire of the
"I'll get you IL can" eyes. of the aver
age hypnotist and perhaps therein lies
the secret of her wonderful success.
Mr.. Griffith in an interview once ex'
planned that some subjects who were
afraid to look him In the eyes would
look at her seemingly without fear and
it was always all over but the shout
ing when they did. The prices OF the
engagement are popular 10. 20 land 80
