NO HARM IN SPRING FEVER
bated With Toncs, Declares
MedicaI Writers.

aspiring fever"-a true spring fever
lis something to be cultivated, accord
ing to the New York Medical Journal.
1t Is not to be combated with laXatives
or tor cs The feeling of lassitude and
lack of tone Is expected annually about
this time of year, consequently 1t
comes.
We unconsciously choose this season
as an excuse for giving way to "an in
dolence which is always seeking to
turn us out to play. This pleasure de-
sire withdrawn from the task, that
abundant flow of interest which right
fully knows neither times nor seasons,
and which truly exercises the body
away from fatigue and malaise. The
law of conservation Of energy, how
ever teaches us that withdrawn ener-
gy is only Mt work somewhere else"
1t is, in the medical writer's opinion,
mans immemorial and somewhat
magical feeling of Identification with
the world of nature that brings ont at
this season renewed impulse OF self
expression, and for exercise Of crea-
tive power" The restraints and con-
ventions of a complex civilization how
ever, make us repress and inhibit these
impulses. Hence the unrest.
But If we would cultivate the
"spring fever" by pitching energetical-
ly into creative work it may be made
to supplant all periods Of default Of
energy, and we may have spring with
us always and under all circumstances.

PICKED THE WRONG NIGHT
Sharkey and the Officer Disagreed
About the Date OF Planned
Smuggling.

Sharkey, the artful dodger Of a
gang of dock workers, had become
the happy possessor of a consider
able quantity Of tobacco while he
was on duty. He was in a quanaary,
however, as to the best means to
evade the strict surveillance of the
officers of the law in order to get
his treasure out OF the docks with
out paying the duty.
On passing out of the gates that
night, he bribed one of the officers
to allow him to 60 out on the fol-
lowing evening without being
searched, as he would have some
tobacco with him.
The officer, although falling in
with Sharkey's arrangement, decided
to make a capture the next night.
81 charge this man with having
concealed about him a quantity OF
tobacco, which he is attempting to
take away without having paid the
duty" said the officer to his chief
the next night.
as that a fact, my man?" asked
the chief.
"No, sir" replied Sharkey.
Whereupon he was subjected to a
thorough search and, no tobacco be-
ing found, he was at once released.
''But what about the arrangement
we made?" asked the officer of Shar-
key when they were alone.
"Oh, that's all right, old man. l
had the tobacco with me then," said
Sharkey, as he marched out of the
gates, much to the disgust of the
oficer.-Top Notch Magazine.

Advice is something that somebody
who has been through thing that you
are just starting into gives you along
with pain. 1t (the advlce), Is free,
and worth 1t. AS rule, old people
give young people advice and young
people don't take 1t. Most Of the ad-
vice In the world is about choosing a
career and getting married, and both
Of these are usually dismal failures.
Once In a while you meet a person
who never gives advice and never takes
any. Stick to him. He is rare in

True the German machine which
