SHELL SHOCK IN BATTLE.
A Curious Fact That Only Unwoundsd
Men Suffer From IL

| BY the methods of modern war nc
| inconsiderable proportion of battlefield
casualties are due to shell shocka
new terror Of battle and one that was
unknown before the advent Of later
day high explosives.
1t is curious fact that only I'M
wounded men suffer from shell shock.
Eminent surgeons say that wound
neutrallzes the psychic sense--in plain
English that nerves do not affect a
wounded man In the same way as an
unwounded one.
For shell shock is nothing more or
less than a nervous breakdown-a ter
ribly intensive breakdown that physi-
clans find most difficult to cure. 1t Is
entirely a mental cause, and though it
is called shell shock IL has very little
to do with shells.
There are men, brave men, too, who
find the strain Of war too great for
their mental stamina. They see terri
BILE sights and hear terrible things, and
these react upon them teiaperamentally
and physically. Gradually, perhaps I'M
consciously, their ability TO resist is
overborne. Their mental power is ex-
hausted. They become afraid-dread-
fully, terribly afraid-and the end is
only matter Of time.
A certain cure has yet to be found,
though severe electrical treatment has
had some effect.-London Answers

Strange But Useful Scissor Hints.

Have you a pair of sharp steel scis-
sors in your kitchenf" asks a writer in
the current issue of Farm and Fireside.
'lf not, think of the things they will help
you do and you will procure a pair at
once.
When cutting meat, celery, marsh
mallows, pimento for salads; or carrots,
cabbage. onions, parsley for soups, moth
ing could be more useful than a pair of
scissors. This is also true when cutting
eitron, lemon or orange peel, or taffy
candy.
"Rhubarb sauce viii have a better col
or and flavor if the stalks are cut with
scissors instead of a knife, as the scis-
sors do not remove the skin.
"A Tfowl is more easily disjointed with
scissors than knife. The work is done
more quickly, and there is no splintering
of the bones.
These are only few Of the uses for
scissors in the kitchen, besides the ordi-
nary use of CUTTING strings and shelf pa
pers. However. to be useful the scissors
must be sharp and TO be sharp they re-
quire care. The scissors should be
washed and dried thoroughly after using,
and hung up so they will be open"

"DRINK STORM" VICTIMS.
New Study Of Why Som- Men Go on
Periodic Debauches.

New Study Of Why Som- Men Go or
Periodic Debauohes.
There has recently been organized in
Hartford, Conn, foundation for O
new line of research work relating to
the alcoholic question. This research
will have for its object the explanation
of drink storms" which attack men
who arN not regular drinkers, but sud
denly plunge into a debauch and use
liquor to excess for a limited period,
after which they resume their usual
condition of temperate living.
This subject is treated by DR.. T. d.
Crothers of Hartford, Conn, in the
New York Medical Record. He says:
What condition of body and mind fur
nishes the soil, plants the seed and ia
vors the growth in inebriety and alco-
holism Is yet to be studied. What laws
of growth, heredity, culture, surround
fngs, nutrition and mental impression
favor the development of the drink evil
are questions for the future.
why the degeneration from the use
of alcohol is in one instance slow, con-
cealed and breaking out only after a
lifetime In various diseases; In another
rapid, positive and most emphatic, and
in a third concentrated on the brain
and nervous system or ON the organs
of nutrition, and SO ON through long
list of questions as to why and how
this or that particular phase Of disease
breaks out. are questions for future
study.
This is the new scientific field where
exact study is called for, groupings Of
facts and studies of their meanings, to
show the causes of alcohol addiction"

The after the war" changes of the
universities and the whole educational
| system, high and low, has stirred up
an agitation in all parts of the country
Lord Haldane has summed up the main
direction of this change, as follows: "The
calamity OF war has brought with it
one element of brightness ad hope. We
! have been stirred out of our slumbers.
We have learned that we cannot have
the knowledge and science required for
the advancement of our industries and
for the making of great discoveries un-
less we have the broad foundations of
education in our people. We have learned
the German lesson in more ways than
one, and we should meet her with spirit.
ual weapons just as we meet her with
temporal weapons"
Many Others have taken up the same
theme, urging that scientific branches
must prepare men for competition with
Germany. The president of the head
masters congress urged similar change.
Business men, also have been called
into the discussion, one head of large
business concern declaring that the edu-
cational system of the country must be
made more practical, after the Ameri-
can method, so as to be better adapted
to the needs of industry
Lord Bryce has also taken part in the
discussion, holding that old standards
should not be too violently changed, as
uniform culture was quite as essential
as specialization for practical ends On
the whole, however, the discussion has
shown practically all elements agreed
that the war has compelled reform of
the whole educational system and its
largely toward securing more |
attention to the scientific and practical
of American schools. A recent 7
by Andrew d. White of Cornell,
that the war would make the American
school system the model of the world,
has attracted attention in the discus
sion over here, and many agree that the
coming reforms win be along American
ines.
