HARD TO CONTROL NERVES
Even the Bravest Men Have Been
Known to Exhibit Fear Before Be-
ing Injured to Battle.

Men In the trenches, now quite used
to the war game. have been described
as feeling 'jumpy"-the sort OF at
Fiction that used to be called "mau'
seritis." Here Is state of mind not
necessarily blameworthy. nor even un.
soldierly; the bravest have expert
enced 1t. The feeling is given various
names. AS when young nobleman
was sent to the hospital suffering from
heart paralysis" Being immature. a
mere youth, his heart, in fact. his
whole body, was undeveloped--a man
in spirit, but not yet in body. Being
SO conspicuous figure 1t was up to
him to display the supremest courage:
and OF course. he made good. All the
same. there was profound shock to
his physical organism; and something
had to evidence that shock. His soul
was strong and brave; but his physt
cal being, with its subconscious will
to-live, was afraid; and no shame to
1t or. to its princely owner.
Why should men get equivocal about
fear on the battlefield; why not frank
ly call 1t that and not nerves" or
some like foolishness? The courage
lies all in going ahead despite the
fear. The sublimest courage is the
two in the morning" sort. when ones
physical condition is at its lowest
ebb. And the wonder Is. Just that
kind of courage is now being so mag
nificently and so lavishly displayed all
along the battlefronts. where much
of the fighting is done at night. All
soldiers are likely to be afraid until
they get used to warfare. This has
bcec true OF many famous COM
manders-Augustus who won fame at
Actium. Turenne. Napoleon. Ney. "A
coward is he." declared the bravest Of
the brave, who boasts he never was
afraid" Demosthenes talked fight
aplenty; but he ran away from his
first engagement, as did also Cicero

Valuable Exploration.

Capt. Joseph e. Bernier. polar ex-
plorer in the service Of the Canadian
government for number Of years.
recently returned from cruise OF
more than 1000 miles through the
Arctic archipelago. during which he
placed many new islands. bays and
promontories on the map. During his
exploration work he has charted over
100000 square miles OF islands in tho
far North, and has discovered many
records of Arctic expeditions. He
has been commissioned to establish q
force of the mounted police in Hudson
bay and. to take possession of the Arc
tic archipelago between the region Of
141 degrees west to 60 degrees west
and all the adjacent islands as far as
80 degrees north latitude. Captain
Bernier's great ambition is to Journey
to the North pole. an undertaking
which he believes he can accomplish
with no great difficulty when the op-
perfume time arrives.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Work Since
Leaving OF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform day AZ
ter day, have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using Pos
tum instead of coffee. An Illinois
woman writes:
II had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart was nervous and

get the attention they deserve. As 1t
is, your eye defects are concealed or

deeds, cover a multitude of sins-or
defects; and are the cause of multi
tude of illnesses that are never traced

we relieved headaches, dizziness. and

eye defects that were sapping the sys-

the eyes were the CAUSE of tbis
