Pawlow the great Russian psychologist,
who did a delicate surgical operation
whereby he was able to divide off
pouch from a dogs stomach and make a
little opening into the pouch to permit
of observation and study, found that the
mere sight and smell Of savory food
Instituted a prompt flow OF gastric Juice,
even II the food never entered the stom-
ach. Further he found that If the dog
was shown food, and the psychic lnIlu-
ence induced a free flow of juice, TINS
flow perslsted for some time even after
the food was removed from the dog
sight or smell. And most important OF
Ali. he learned that II the flow was thus
induced, and then the dog was emotion
ally aroused by the sight OF cat, tne
flow promptly ceased. and could not be
restored for some time afterward, even
II food was offered. The dog II Is plain,
had psychic dyspepsla-or would have II
fed while his anger or rage was mus
inhiblting or preventing the secretion or

Identical observations have been made
by numerous other psychologists, notably
Professor Cannon, of Harvard. And that
the same psychic or nervous Influences
prevail I'm man is borne out by seVeral
observations made upon human beings
with gastric fstula-that Is, an opening
made through the side into the stomach,
for feeding purposes, in patients with
some obstruction of the esophagus or

Wherefore we retract, revoke shift our
ground back down and apologize. "Nerv-

Freedom

We are not free: Freedom doth not con-

Past,
While petty cares and cravings interests
twist
Their splder-threads about us. which .t
Grow strong as iron chains. to cramp and
bind
In formal narrowness heart, soul and
mind
Freedom is recreated year by year
In hearts wide open on the Godward
side.
In souls calm-cadenced as the whlrIing
sphere,
In minds that sway the future like
tide.
No broadest creeds can hold her. and no
codes
She chooses men for her august abodes.
Building them fair and fronting to the
dawn
Yet. when we seek her. we but find a few
Light footprints, leading morn-ward
through the dew;
Before the day had risen she was gone,
And we must follow; swiftly she runs
And, if our steps should slacken in
despair,
Half turns her face, half smiles, through
golden hair
Forever yielding, never wholly won:
That Is not love which pauses in the race
Two close-linked names on fieeting sand
to trace
Freedom gained yesterday is no more
ours:
Men gather but dry seeds of last years
flowers:
Still there's a charm ungranted, till a
grace
Still Rosy Hope. the free. the unattained
Makes us Possessions languid hard let

'Tis but a fragment Of ourselves is

The Future brings us more, but never
