DOCTORS GIVE
REASONS FOR
SPRING fever
EXPLAIN IT'S REAL MEANING.

''The name Spring Fever" said a
well known physician in CONVERSE
ton the other day, is a misnomer,
and is largely a figure of speech
used to describe the peculiar Iassi-
tude that so many people complain
Of at the expiration of our winter
months. It is physiological con-
dition well known to the medical
profession, and Is not a fever at all,
but a general letting down OF ma
lures forces, particularly the ner-
vous centers, due TO the deficiency
Of iron and PHOSPHORUS, both of
which are absolutely necessary for
the maintenance of bodily vigor.
"Of course" he continued, "the
excessive meat eating. the loss of
green vegetables and of oxygen, of
which there is so little in the aver
age heated house, all play their
part The result is that nature is
calling for an increased output of
the vital forces during the winter
months, and this demand means
more phosphorus and iron. For #
is these two potent remedies COM
bined which are natures armament
in her defensive warfare. With the
advent of warm weather, the pores
act more freely and the heart slows
up and that peculiar lassitude
which we CAL Spring Fever is man
ifested."
and the remedy, Doctor" an in
terested listener asked? why, my
dear SIR, the remedy for these starry
ed nerve and blood centers is Phos-
phated Iron. But there is no rea-
son why we should ever reach this
point, II we would, from time TO
time, take that well known remedy.

the physiological balance, as shown I
By our color, our sense OF well be /

Just as Easy.

Two commercial travellers, while on
a train on the Oregon Electric railway,
got into an argument over the action
of the automatic brake.
"It's the imitation Of the tube that
stops the train," declared the first trav-
eler.
"Wrong, wrong! !" shouted the second.
"It's the output Of the exhaustion"
SO they wrangled for an hour. Then,
when the train arrived at the station
they agreed to submit the matter for
settlement to the motorman. That gen.
tleman, leaning cOndescendingly from
the door of his car, listened with an
attentive frown to the two travellers
statement of their argument. Then he
smiled, shook his head, and said:
"Well, gents, ye're both wrong about
the working of the vacuum brake. Yet
it's very simple and easy to under
stand. When we want to stop the
train we just turn this ere tap, and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum"

Goa, Production in France.

Recent figures Of coal production in
France, an industry Of which the de-
partment of the Loire, in the St.
Etienne consular district, is an i'm

nual output of over 100000 tons,
show an increase from 100000 tons
in November, 1916, to 1857, 900 tons in
March, 1917, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, and total increase in production
and importation of from 100000 tons
in January, 1917, to over 4,OOo,OO0
tons in May. This gain was made pos
sible by a REIMBURSEMENT of mine work
ers and a closer study Of transporta-
ton problems. The movement of coal
by motor lorries, in addition to other
commodities by fleet of heavy motor
trucks purchased and operated by the
city of st. Etienne, is recently inau-

Homage Paid Joan Of Arc.

Old and new were reunited when
Orleans and New Orleans met in the
fifteenth century hotel de vile Of the
city on the Loire at the heart Of France
recently, says q Paris correspondent.
The bicentenary of the new world city
was the occasion of the United States
delegates visit. Homage was paid to
Joan Of Arc, the champion of the me-
dieval struggle for freedom. She was
the subject of French and American
speeches, and flowers and a bronze
palm leaf were laid at the foot Of
her statue. A pilgrimage, too, was
made to the fort of Tourelles, so ia
nous in the defense Of the city by the
maid. The events of those far-gone
centuries served as distant romantic
background to the present struggle, in
which the most recent figures to APP
pear on crowded canvas are those
of the United States soldiers on the
Flanders front. Side by side with the
mention of medieval names and events
were heard, in the old halls of Orleans,
those of President Wilson and the
battle of the Marine.

The original geometrician was Moth.
err Nature Observe her work in the
making of crystals. Each kind Of gem
stone crystallizes on certain pattern
of it's own, perfectly symmetrical; it
is the same way with metals when
they form crystals. says writer.
If cupful of salt and water be al
lowed to evaporate slowly in a cool
place, the salt will take the form Of
ever so many cubes. each one of them
perfect.
One mineral in crystallizing will in
variably take the shape of an Octa-
hebron another of, a dodecahedrOn.
Yet another will assume the form of
a multitude of cubes, perhaps half an
inch on an edge, with chip accurate
~ cut off of each corner. 1t seems
like joke.

in shape wild rose. Water has it's
own crystalline forms, like any other
mineral. Ice. of course, is kind Of

is remarkable for it's low melting
point. This is lucky for us, because

AGRICULTURAL ANT OF TEXAS,
Creatures Are Regular Farmers and
Their Homes Are Marvels Of
IA Skill and Strength.

| Texas has many varieties of the ant
family. Out on the 'Ilano Estacado,"
or Staked Plain, they are so numerous
that their hills look like the pillows
of rolling sea.
One of the most powerful and for
midable insects in the Southwest is the
agricultural ant Of Texas, observes a
naturalist. These busy creatures are
regular farmers, and their homes are
marvels of architectural skill and
strength.
Think of house from II to Is feet
high, built by little ant, and which
is so strong and well supported that
cattle and buffsloes can walk over it
and yet not crush in this wonderful
dome.
1t is said that if horse, in pro-
portion to his size, could leap as far
as flea, that in one jump he would
60 clear around the world. Now, If
a man constructed house according
to the same proportions of an ants
domicile, it would be more than mile
high.
These agricultural ants, next to a
bee, are the most Industrious crea-
lures on earth. They sow, reap and
garner just like farmers, and during
the warm season lay by sufficient store
for winters use.
