LAZINESS A DISEASE.

There is at least some consolation
to be gained from the discovery of a
French scientist that laziness is the
direct result of an abnormal condition
of the nervous system. This will
henceforth be used by some sinful
wight as an explanation as TO why he
feels an inexplainable Discrimination
for work
Back in the good old days, when a
boy showed a disposition to shirk his
daily labors he was politely invited in
to the woodshed or the bathroom and
shown in a painful way that there
was no such work as laziness and
that he had better realize this fact
at once and get busy.
According to Theodule Rebout, Of
the Institute of France, man or VIC
man may be born lazy They may be
lazy not because of any fault of their
own, but because it is a natural heri-
tage.
Incidence, indifference and kindred
vices of apathy, according to NJ. Re
bout, who is a neurologist and scien-
fist, as we'll as a speculative philoso-
pier, are due in most cases to a GER
tain deficiency of quality in the blood
and general nerve tissue and in the
general stomatic makeup that makes
Iprohibitive any continued display Of
energy or concentration.
NJ. Rebout may be right, but we are
still inclined to accept the recognized
treatment of laziness adopted by our
grandparents and to recognize the wis
/ com of Solomon in declaring that to
spare the switch meant that the child
will be spoiled.
Our modern scientific explanation of
lazness is based wholly on technical
grounds. This may be the direct cause
Of 1aziness, but our eminent French
scientist fails to offer any prospective
care for the inherent disease.
In such instances where a family
has two or more children afflicted with
laziness little counsel from the
Grandmother might be the means of
effccting an immediate cure. There is
no Goubt that lazy boy will end in
Icing a lazy man if nothing is done
to correct 1aziness in it's incipiency.
Thrift is not always a gift of birth.
1t is trait that is cultivated and
finally matured into a habit that be-
comes natural Thrift should be cult
vated in the very beginning of life.
Laziness may be a disease all right,
but if it is a little hard work will
soon destroy all visible symptoms

frightfulness and peril Is nearing its
closing stages.
Much encouragement is felt by the
report issued by the admiralty last
night and the reports from Paris and
from Rome of submarine losses add
to the general satisfaction.
Shipping losses to Great Britain from
German submarine activities last week
amounted TO eight vessels of 1900 tons
