WHY KISSES GIVE A THRILL
IL Is When Chemical Elements IN q
Man and Woman Blend Properly
That They Are Really Mated,

An eminent psycopath has llkened a
kiss to the strOking of cat, and saws
that the longer you kiss the same
woman the less the thrill you get In re-
turn.
Love Is an electro-chemical action,
and he who says the same effect that is
derived from kiss can be obtained
from the strOking Of cat is a theorist
and is taking into consideration only
the electro part Of the action, It Is
likely that the learned psycopath IL not
man from the great school of expert
ence, or that he has never been for
tunate enough to come In contact with
the human magnet that did not repel
him.
Compare two human beings, male
and female, with two large storage bat.
teries highly charged.
The action to which the batteries are
subjected wears them out as time goes
on. They work tremendously, and so 1t
is with man and a woman. SO long
as she is magnetic she draws the man
to her, and the same thrill is there, but
once she begins to repel, then the mag
net ceases to perform It's functions
and the thrill Is gone.
Who would be satisfied TO stroke the
back of pretty cat to bring about the
thrill they have experienced when
brought in contact with the magnet
that attracted them?
When the chemical elements In a
man and woman blend properly that
is when they are mated; the kiss never
loses its thrilI.-Chicago Herald.

RED CROSS NOTES

More Red Cross workers are needed
Because of the need OF surgical dress
ings, hospital supplies, ETC., and the
amounts needed, there are also needed
a great many workers if these things
are to be gotten out. 1t is hoped
that every one who possibly can, Of
fer their services part of their spare
time
Members of the local Red Cross
work rooms were at Unity the past
week to superinrend the beginning
of Red Cross work at that place.
1t is probable that branch work
room of the Marathon Chapter Of Red
Cross will be organized at Stratford
in the near future, as interested par
ties from that place have inquired
here as to the making of the dress
ings and hospital supplies.
Boxes containing surgical dressings,
hospital supplies, patients clothing,
etc, are going out from the local
work rooms to the Red Cross head
quarters. A box of knitted articles
will be sent soon.
The American Fund for the French
wounded department of the Red Cross
has now started the gathering Of worn
kid gloves. These old gloves are used
for Innings for aviators' Jackets. Any
one in Wausau having old kid gloves,
which they no longer care for, kind
| ly notify Mrs. c. c. lawkey, 403 War
rem street, or Miss Margaret Dunbar
713 Fifth street. The gloves will be
sent to the headquarters of the Amer
| lean Fund for French Wounded, where
| they will be used as stated above. II
is hoped that this way of showing
patriotism will be responded to most
freely.
The Red Cross rooms were closed
| yesterday all day because of the Y. M
| c. A. banquet. The work rooms will
be open this evening this week fol-
the reason that they were closed last

Home of Poets.
i

It is q strange fact that although
Klmarnock is a very prosaic looking
factory town-the most commonplace
In the region-it is the home of NUM-
bers of poets. Perhaps the rhythm o:
the shuttles in the great weaving mills
is productive of poetic measures.
At the Burns monument in Ayr yor
may see the wedding ring of Jean Ar
mour and the Bible Burns gave tc
Highland Mary, and you may walk
across the very field where Burns
turned up a daisy with his pillow, ano
turned it into lyric.
But to try to recreate a personality
by looking at books and rings anG
even houses, or by following the foot
steps of the great man, is really o
hopeless task. The spirit of Burns
lives rather in the homely wit of the
Ayrshire people, in their ways Of liv'
ing and thinking, which are not much
changed since his day. And it lives
even more wildly in the Ayrshire
country side, landscape lyrical and
homelike, with its velvety fields and
whispering streams, its bonnie bank;
and braes."

CURE FOR DENTIST FRIGHT"
Nervous Fatigue Suffered by Patient
Result of Unnecessary Strain OF
Expecting q Hurt.

That curious fear experienced by
many known as dentist fright" is al.
together unnecessary, according to
doctors.
1.-THE fatigue which results from an
hour or more Of this dentist tension
is too well known to need descrip-
tion," says Annie Payson Call, the
well-knOwn teacher of nerve training.
Most of the nervous fatigue suffered
from the dentists work Is in copse-
quence of the unnecessary strain of
expecting a hurt, and not from any
actual pain inflicted. The result OBJ.
tanned by insisting upon making your
self dead weight in the chair, IL you
succeed only partially, will prove
this. It will also be a preliminary
means of getting rid Of the dentist
fright-that peculiar dread which is
so well known to most of u.s."
So well known indeed to some Of
US as to shit out the sunlight for
weeks before the fatal date, the dread
increasing steadily, till by the time the
chair is reached a state Of tension has
been attained that precludes the posi-.
bility Of letting ourselves ego dead"
But, says a well-known neurologist.
one can drop all this by little effort,
and say to himself, 'T will not cry
till l am hurt" In fact, he cannot
only acquire the ability to become q
dead weight in the chair but will final.

eoURD FIRST NURSE BOTTLE
Specimens on Display in British Mu.
scum Seem to Be Also Rather
and Picture Book Combined.

Possibly a hollow gourd constituted
the first baby's feeding bottle.
Torn from it's parent tree, its edible
interior would have found its way to
the stomach of it's adult plucker, after
which the hollow shell would be filled
with milk or other liquid refreshment
for the satisfaction Of the infant.
In tropical countries, again, the CO.
conut would constitute a natura!
feeding bottle, already filled with the
necessary nourishment.
Without, however, INDUCING in spe'
culation of this kind it may be noted
that the archaic vase room at the Brit
ish museum contains specimens OF
feeding bottles-"tetinoe," archaeolo'
gists call them-dating back to be-
tween six and seven hundred years
before Christ.
These very early babies bottles are
usually globular in shape, are elabor
ately decorated and are covered with
small knobs which, it is conjectured
were used to hang tiny bells upon.
In short, the feeding bottle Of those
days was also a rattle and a picture
book combined. T.

Some Leaves Live LONG.

Evergreen trees do not retain theft
leaves forever, but are so called be
cause the new leaves appear before the
old ones are shed. Miss Winnie A
Pease has been studying the many
evergreens of the Pacific Northwest
to ascertain how long the several spe
cies retain their leaves. She finds
q wide variety, the shortest being the
California buckthorn, which sheds
some Of its leaves in autumn and re
tains the others only until those OF
the coming season are mature. The
longest is the short-leaved yew, which
retains its leaves for from five tc
twelve years, some of them persisting
for as long as % years. Saplings
ldse their leaves more quickly thar
mature trees and trees IN the open
more quickly than those in shady
places.

TABLETS 1000 YEARS OLD
Writings Dating Back as Far as 1000
3. C. Are Translated by Univer-
sity of Wisconsin Professor.

A number of Sumerian tablets, writ
ten at least as early as 1000 B. c.,
have been translated by Prof. F. L.
Kelly Of the department Of Semitic
languages at the University of Wis
consin. Of about thirty cones and
tablets translated, almost all were
lists of animals and men.
The Sumerian tablets are difficult
to read, as the writing is a comDlna-
don Of wedges used in different ar
rangements to form words, and the
grammatical construction is not like
that of any other language. Most OF
the tablets are dated by correlating
them with certain well-known events,
such as the year a certain city was
devastated or the year a king was
crowned. The contract tablets are
mostly lists of commodities, such as
the following:
Zone COW (received) from Garkua-
lab, the farmer; one cow exchanged
for the donkey of Naniasi; sixteen
sheep exchanged for the donkey OF
Ninnuskanitir; one CUR. ten ga OF
grain eatables (bread) (receiVeO Tor
a sacrifice (sacrificial feas) of Rakl'
gishnika at Erech. The donkey OF
Er-Erarashar was captured alive at
Shaduhebiruni, the year (the king)
devastated Haknuri."
