NERVES AT FAULT
IF YOU SHUTTER
Psychologist Of S. U. |. Say the Habit
Can be Overcome by
Treatment,

That the majority of sufferers can
be cured of their defect in speech is
the view of DR.. r. H.iSylvester of the
psychology department at the State
University Of Iowa.
DR.. Sylvester supports the theory
that the person who shutters does so
because of his inability to call up
word images. In other words, the
chief trouble is a mental one.
Suffering is, first of all. nerv-
GUS ailment in the form Of over-en-
ergization and over-tension Of nerve
and MUSCLE" the university psychology
list says. Secondly, it is more or
less seriously warped or diseased
state of mind.
THE treatment adapted to the vary
ing cases. consists in causing relaxa,
ton of the over-tense, nervous condi-
ton; analysis and following up Of the
warped mind, the breaking up of the
faulty speech and attitude habits.
1T is necessary in some extreme
cases to put the patient on week or
ten days silence, not allowing him to
talk at all, but working him to the
limit on breathing exercises and other
articulatory gymnastics, at the same
time keeping him in state of COM
fort. relaxation, poise, and. confidence.
Then he Is allowed gradually to take
up talking, at first only to the in

The Itinerant.

Muscatine Journal: Fort Madison
has declared war upon the itinerant
salesman. The municipality frowns
upon book agents, canvassers and
peddlers. The new motto of the
mayor as well as the housewife is
Here's your hat; what's your
hurry?" Some time ago a committee
of business men made an inyestiga-
Ton as to the extent Of the house 10
house canyassing and its cost to the
community. Their discovery was a
revelation to every business man and
housewife !. as well. A realization of
the community loss through the flood
og silver which poured from the city
through the channel of the amiable
canvasser proved to be the greatest
argument in support of the BUY at
Home" movem ent. Fort Madison was
also inflicted by the usual number Of
"neighborhood clubs in which the
women banded themselves together
with view Of promoting the trade
of some mail order concern and indi-
vidually earning rug or some other
article of furniture. These have pass
ed out of existence also.
Mayor Brown recently announced a
decision that he would refuse to issue
a license to itinerants selling COM
modify in competition with the local
stores His stand is one which is
commendatory. The retailer has a
right to expect the city to extend him
this measure of protection.
Muscatine women only recently
shared in the effects of dealing with
shady book concern. Police officials
estimate that several hundred dollars
was rem owed from circulation here by
the participation of Muscatine women
in this one proposition. The house
wife who falls a victim of some can
vassing offer does not advertise her
error, hence it is but seldom that the
effects of the frauds practiced upon
s'Eriend wife" becomes public.
The action of the Fort Madison
mayor and the support given him by
the housewives is worthy of enlula-
ton in Muscatine. No step would
insure community prosperity in so
rich a degree.

Where Mr.. Garrison Erred.

New York World: If Mr.. Garrison
had been as intensely concerned about
defense measures as he thinks he is,
he would have centered his efforts on
the other parts of the army program
when he discovered that congress
was irrevocably opposed to his CONT
Mental army. That was the states
manlike thing to do.
1t is easy to abuse congress, but
the fact remains that there was no
public support for the continental
army and most of its advocates, in
Guiding Secretary Garrison, had
damned it by urging consumption as
the only true method of providing
the necessary troops. When it was
found that there was no possible
chance to obtain majority in con-
gress for the continental army, Presi-
dent Wilson wisely refused to chain
his whole defense program to a
corpse. That would have imperiled
everything, and nobody would have
assailed him more bitterly and more
justly for such folly than the men
ing taken the right attitude toward
congress. Had the president yielded
to Mr.. Garrison's insistent demands
he must inevitably have broken with
congress, and the chances are strong
that there would have been no
strengthening of the national defense
at all In trying to coerce congress
he would have lost everything.
Congress is not the Russian duma.
1t cannot be kicked into oblivion
whenever it refuses to register the
DEGREES Of a little father. If Mr..
Garrison does not know that, he has
yet to learn the first principles of re-
publican governm ent.

FRIDAY, AUGUST II, 1916

At a meeting of the village
board Monday evening a strong
petition was presented from resi-
dents along King street asking
for an enforcement of the speed
ordinance on that thoroughfare
and the board went on record as
favoring a strict enforcement of
the ordinance governing the
speed of automobiles and motor
vehicles within the city limits.
In future a strict watch will be
kept on autos and motorcycles
around town and those travelling
at rate Of speed in excess of Is
miles an hour are liable to be
hailed into court and be made to
pay a fine. The streets inside
the village are not intended for a
speedway and it is easy for Sc
rious accident to result when dri-
vers travel at a fast gait around
sharp street corners, where traf-
fic is congested, and where small
children get out occasionally into
the street. The board feels it is
far better to prevent accidents
than to enforce the law after
someone is hurt, hence the ruling.
Therefore, if you have been in
clined to 'cut 'em loose" occa-
sionally, better watch a little bit
out, in future.
