 Dear Doctor: Will you please tell me if treatment taken by oneself with galvanic battery will be of any benefit to one suffering with nervous ness, poor circulation and sleepless- ness?
 (Answer) It depends very much upon the cause of the nervousness as we'll as the prevailing symptoms, whether an electric treatment will do much good. You state that you have poor circulation of the blood at the same time that you are nervous and suffer with insomnia. If all this is due to after effects from some dis ease, such as typhoid fever, or simi- lar ailments, then electricity would be of great value, but whether galvanic electricity is just what you need is doubtful. For my part I believe that static electricity is better. Galvanic currents are comparatively strong. They produce sensations of stinging or burning, and they are used for medical purposes to produce destruc- ton of the tissues, tumors, etc. They are most valuable where the source of the disease is deep seated, as in chronic diseases of the spinal cord. paralysis, neuralgia and integferences of the proper performance of func- tions through muscular weakness. Static electricity is less easily obtain- ed, since a rather expensive appara- tus is needed to generate the fric- tional, electricity which is employed, but I believe that 1t would be better for such a case as yours. It has been found better when the electricity per- meates the whole body and not just 8 special part Fifteen minutes at Q time should be sufficient.
 However, it is very necessary to recognize the indications announcing when electricity is beneficial and when it is not. When the pulse grows quency, or when distress of any kind grows less, or when the body or brain feels soothed and strong after an ap- plication, the electricity is proving beneficial. But when the pulse is in- creasing in frequency and becomes ir- regular, and when there is a sensa- ton of pain or increased distress, or when there is experienced feeling of exhaustion or weariness after an application, then electricity is detrf- mental rather than beneficial and should either be discontinued alto- gether or decreased in strength and frequency

Little White Things That Bite.

ia4 s H
 Let us try to imagine the bewilder- ment caused at another information desk, in a public library. no matter justw here, by a rather unusual in- quiry sent over the telephone in tear ful tones by person conjectured to be an anxious wife or mother. The question was this: twill you please tell me what are those little white things men have in their heads that bite ?'' It was not until the next day that even the nimble-witted function ary in charge of the desk was able to answer this conundrum. Then a sudden light illuminated the darkness, and the inquirer having been rung up, the monosyllable reply was sent back, s-"Teeth!' It will need a harder question still to score a point against that desk.

A pretty model is illustrated here, the blouse hav- ing collar of self-material that may be either round or square.

SHOULD A MAN
 REVEAL HIS PAST?
eff a body meet ca body Comin' through the rye; ''If 8 body meet a body Need a body cry?"

A letter comes to me in this morn ing's mail in which the writer asks for a private answer. As it is on a sub- ject of great interest to so many young men, I think best not to hide its light under a bushel This letter says in part: 'T am a young man 26 years of age about to wed a sweet young girl of 20. To state the matter frankly, have not led a blameless life by any means. I have been as wild as any one among the fast set with which have travelled. My question is: Would it be wisest and best to reveal all the follies of my past to this young girl who knows nothing whatever of such a life? She thinks, she is getting an exemplary man. Is it better to let a. woman live in fools paradise or dis turb her peace of mind by disclosing affairs which occurred long before l met her and which are best forgot ten? I. put this up to you and will abide by your decfsion-sink or swim. :" The question is of such vital impor- i tance that it is mighty hard on me to have to shoulder the consequence. For I am apt to be blamed if he does and be blamed if he doesn't. Doctors tell us that it is useless to open an old wound that has healed or even to men, l tion that t had existed when there was no visible scar to reveal it and no lasting harm could be traced to it. With marriage, man closes the book of his past, it is presumed. Old flames. even the more serious heart affairs. have run their course and died nat ural death. The fact that they have passed away out of his life argues | Sh ho | corning them. The past cannot be
 changed. The future man has in his own hands to live as he will This of many men since time began. Those far wiser than I have been called upon to settle 1t.
 | One philosopher sums the whole sit uation up thus as to whether or not a man should reveal a cloudy past tc the woman he is about to wed:
 Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise'
 This sums up the situation in a nut 1 shell. If there had been no seriou. consequences from a mans past fol ly, he need not awake alarms Should such peccadi1los ever come to 1igh his honest statement will win him par don from the woman he has loved best On the other hand, if a man haa
 committed grave folly-we might cal
 it by it's rightful name, sin-and ther'
 are living consequences to attest to hi shame, he has no right to marry a
 all. He should rightfully confess hi
 position. My word for 1t, no honor able woman would accept man unde
 these circumstances. Circumstance , must decide each individual case. In , discretions that are slight may be pal Hated; deliberate crimes, never.

MEN WHO HANDLE MILLIONS.

At the paying tel1er's window of a large bank a few days ago, a news paper writer waited for man with a satchel to finish his business with the clerk inside. The latter was hand ing our bales of currency, which auto matically dropped into the satchel. And automatically the teller checked off the amounts on a piece of paper before him. Finally he looked up: T can't spare you those thousand dollar bills-hows will we hundreds do? 'I don't think they will answer" re- sponded the man with the heavy bag. Well, let me know voc you ESQ., OOO" said the ban. teller "All right" replied the other, and he walked away. The bank teller draws weekly salary of $25, and the mes- senger gets SIS. It must be that most people are honest

Another Hyphenated Tale.

Miss Five-Feet-T Three bewails her dot, Because, forsooth, she thinks : For Six-Feet-Two all seats are made
 Ths selfish little minx! Suppose that she were Six-Feet-Two, -sad her lover was Five-Feet-Three, And she sat on his lap when the lights were low
 Oh! where would the poor boy be ? If Five Feet Three were six-Feet- two,
 And sat in cross-seat car, She'd soon find out that her length of limb
 Was much too long-by far. If seated at table Miss Five-Feet- Three
 Should grow to Six-Feet-Two, She'd find that storing her feet and Would give her something to do. Now, if in a berth of ship or train Rides little Five-Feet- Three, At least she can stretch and in com fort sleep,
 But Six-Feet-Two, can he? Tn attic or cellar when. 1t is dark, With rafters and pipes forgot, There Six-Feet-Two gets 9 crack on the bean,
 While Five-Feet ?Three does not. In many a tight place Five-Feet- Three
 Can go with comfort and ease, While six-Feet-Two, poor son-of-a- gun,
 Must follow on his knees. If Five-Feet--Three were six-Feet- Two For only a single day, iI'd gamble a. cookie she'd gladly change To Five-Feet-T Three to stay.
