NERVES THAT TIRE EASILY
Sense Of Smell One That Is Quickly
Fatigued-Heat Nerves Practi-
ealIy Never at Rest.

The most easily tired nerves in the
body are the nerves of smell. AS you
pass a rose in the garden the guam
tity Of perfume that gets intot your
nostril must be many millions of bill
lion of times smaller than the tiniest
grain of sand. But rub the strongest
perfume on your upper lip, and in a
few seconds you fail to notice it, the
nerve of smell is so quickly fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves,
which are quite distinct from the
nerves Of ordinary sensation, also give
over working very quickly. A bath
that seems quite hot when you get into
1t very soon ceases to cause any par
ticular feeling of heat.
Nerves of hearing and sight can go
through an enormous amount of work.
For sixteen hours day they work
hard, and are still willing to do more.
The nerves Of the heart are the most
untiring Of all. From the first dawn
of life until the last gasp they work
without stopping for one instant.

Various Modes Of Greeting.

Savages rarely osculate. The salu-
tations Of the Mongols. Malays, Poly
nesians, the Eskimos and Laplanders
consist chiefly of smelling each other
and rubbing noses; while in Tibet, in
stead of greeting by an adhesive touch,
the mode Of salutation consists of ex-
tending the tongue. but this is done
simply because the custom of the
country does not permit of any phys
ical contact. North American Indians
do not kiss excepting in the presence
of death, when they profusely fondle
and kiss the feet of their beloved de-
parted ones. The native Australian
and Fiji islanders salute with a hug
like a bear. The Celtic race is not
especially demonstrative and rarely
kiss In public unless 1t is In greeting
after a long absence, then men very
rarely kiss each other and the women
are not over lavish with their mani
festations of devotion.
Battle for Prohibition.
Hard drinking in England came to
be regarded as grave national dan
ger. In 1735 London grand jury held
the traffic responsible for a great
crime wave, and regulation of the
liquor business by law was instituted.
Similar experiments were in the mean
time being made In America.
The battle In this country against
use and abuse Of liquor began in
mild way as a protest in pulpits
against drunkenness. A New England
society went so far as to bind it's men,
bers not to get drunk except on the
Fourth of July and general training
days.
Advocates Of moderation gave way
TO those who felt that only total alb
stinence was the remedy. Then the
battle began.

GAVE NAME TO NEW ENGLAND
Result Of Capt. Smiths Exploration
Of Shores Of North Virginia" In
the Year 1914.

Capt. John Smith, famous for his
romantic career, particularly the Po-
cahontas episode, is generally asso-
ciated with Virginia, but he was also
the first to discover the beauties of
the southwestern half of the Maine
coast and the first to draw map Of
II, an exchange recalls. In 1914 he ex-
plored the shores of what was then
known as North Virginia. but which
he called New England, name that
has stuck, as have many others given
by him.
In "a Description of New England"
printed In London in 1916, Smith
wrote II have seen at least forty sew
eran habitations on the Sea Coast and
found about 25 excellent good har-
bors. and more than 200 isles.
From Penobscot to Sagadahock this
Coast is all Mountainous and Isles of
huge Rocks, but overgrown with all
sorts of good woodes for building
houses, boats, barks or shippes: with
an incredible abundance of most sorts
of fish, much fowle and sundry sorts
Of good fruites for mans use
The Salvages compare their store in
the Sea to the haires of their heads;
and surely there are an Incredible
abundance upon this Coast.
The most Northern part l was at was
the Bay Of Penobscot, which is East
and West, North and South, more than
ten leagues"
The northeastern half of the Maine
coast was put on the map by Cham
plain. Ten years before Smiths voy-
age he had visited Nova Scotia, dis
covered and named the st. John river,
and cruised as far south as the mouth
Of the Penobscot, which he, too, en-
tered.

SH0FAR IN HEBREW RITUAL
Wood Instrument Dates Back to the
Very Earliest Youth Of the
World.

Hebrew historians, with special
eye Tor earl to the racial history, are
very proud of their shofar. They say
it is the oldest form of wood wind in
strument In the world, that 1t was
used in the original Mosaic ritual.
1t is the one musical instrument. says
DR.. Cyrus Adler, which has been pre-
served unbrokenly in that ritual.
There is even a theory, voiced by
Professor Steinthal, that the shofar
antedates the people of Israel. He
says 1t probably goes back to prehis-
toric times. And another investiga-
tor points out that 1t obviously came
first from a folk solely dependent on
the growing of sheep.
This ancient rams horn instrument
was perhaps earliest used for the sig
nails of alarm which were so neces-
sarily common in primitive society.
The Israelites then adapted 1t to their
religious services, and with such At
ting effect that 1t has persisted
uniquely since the beginning.
But the Talmud indicates that, even
among the Hebrews, the shofar was
also developed into horn for CIV
ing alarms. Fundamentally these
alarms would be Incidental to war.
Afterward, though, the instrument was
blown In other seasons of danger or
distress. 1t warned of famine or of
plague of locusts or of drought. And
It was employed in the public serv-
ice of accommodation.
The children of Israel had other
horns which were used for musical
and ritualistlc purposes, but this is
the only one which has survived.

London's holy well may, after all,
still be in existence. John Diprose
printer and historian of st. Clements
Danes, investigated the many rival
claims put forward as to its site, in
Guiding Lyons Inn. the old Dog tavern
in Holywell street, and part of the site
Of the law courts, and found no evil
dence to support any of them.
He suggested that the holy well
might be identical with the well COW
cred by the stone-built house in St.
Clements churchyard looking like a
burial vault above ground.
This, an inscription tells us, was
erected in 1889 ito prevent people
using pump that the inhabitants
had put up in 1907 over a remarkable
well which is 121 feet deep. with 100
feet of water in it."

OBSERVE STARS IN DAYTIME
II One Is Sufficiently Interested They
Can Be Seen From Bot
tom of We'll.

Not only have the astronomers de-
vised a means whereby they may OBJ
serve the stars in the daytime, bat
ANYONE may, if he choose, see them at
such time IL he will 60 to the trouble
to do so. At the bottom Of a deep
well an observer on looking up will
see the stars if the sky is clear and
the sun does not happen to be shining
directly into the well.
Why cannot the stars be seen from
the surface of the ground In the day
time? They certainly give forth their
usual amount of light, and 1t will be
remembered that the moon Is frequent
ly seen during the day.
The question resolves itself into the
capacity of the human eye. During
the day the sun shines on particles
suspended in the atmosphere itself,
and its rays are reflected In every
direction from the different particles.
We thus have diffused light by means
Of which one can sec objects not d.

IL were not TOR THIS dlIuslon OF
light, or irregular refraction, as 1t Is
called we could not possibly see any
thing not in the direct sunlight. Now,
these rays irregularly reflected enter
the eye in enormous numbers. so the
intensity is comparatively great with
starlight.
But to a person In a deep well or
mine shaft only the perpendicularly
reflected rays enter the eye, and from
only those particles directly over the
mouth of the shaft. Thus compare
lively little light enters the eye, and
any starlight that comes down at that
time is easily perceived and the pres
ence Of the star is recognized.

GALEN'S FAITH IN NOSTRuM
Early Father OF Medicine Claimed
Wonderful Virtues for Compound
Known as Mithradatium.

Mthradatium was the name Of the
great antidote of Roman pharmacy. II
had from 40 to 80 vegetable ingredi-
ents, few of which had any real medic
inal value except opium, and these
drugs were blended with honey.
1t remained for Nero's physician, An
dromachus, to put the finishing touches
to this wonderful compound. AndrO-
machus added viper's flesh to the for
mEla and called his new compound
theriaca. He wrote some verses dcd-
icated to Nero. describing this medi-
cine and claiming virtues for II which
in our day would subject him to pros
ecution under the antitrust act. Evi.

this one compound q veritable pharma-

QUOTAS OF LOAN
WILL DEPEND ON
WAR STAMP SALES
Oversubscriptions Of January
and February Savings Cam
paign Allotments to Re- !.
duce Loan Task

Victory Liberty Loan quotas of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District are
to be determined in some measure by
the amounts loaned the government
by each district in War Savings
Stamps during January and February.
If district oversubscribes its War
Savings Stamp quotas for the first
two months of the year, its Victory
Liberty Loan quota will be decreased
to the extent of the oversubscription.,
Conversely, il district fails to reach
its January and February Stamp que
tas, its Liberty Loan quota will be
increased.
When Lewis B. Franklin, director
Of the War Loan Organization, was in
San Francisco recently, he revealed
that on the day the armistice was
signed there was in progress in Wash
ington a meeting to formulate plans
for the continuous sale of Liberty
Bonds-such a plan as governs the
sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty Bond
and War Stamps work was to be
closely coordinated.
These plans were Immediately dis
carded when the Germans signed the
armistice and when Secretary of the
Treasury Glass took office he an
nounced that the Victory Liberty Loan
would be the last. In the face Of sug-
gestions that the Victory Loan be put
on cold commercial basis, he added
that the men making these sugges-
tons were discounting the patriotism
of the American people and he would
depend upon the patriotism Of the
American people rather than place Sc
curities of the United States govern
ment upon plane with the paper of
private corporations.

HELP YOURSELF

More than $50 years ago Benjamin
Franklin wrote: Keep your shop and
it will keep you" The stamp of great
ness is on Franklin's philosophy be-
cause it was not alone of his time; 1t
holds for all time.
Our ways have changed a bit in the
economic life of this republic which
the. great Franklin helped to build.
No longer may every man be his own
shopkeeper. Most of US help keep
some other fellows shop and a certain
element among the assistant shop
keepers have become restless because

of this, shall we hesitate for a moment
to respond to the last call-the Victory
Liberty Loan-when we can do SO by
pledging our credit, perhaps with some
little personal inconvenience, sacrifice
or small discomfort?
The blood of the young manhood Of
America is not now required! That
was generously given before the armi-
stice was signed, and now we may give
thanks that no more will be taken.
The credit and good faith of our
country is at stake. We have won the
war, and the cost is small compared
with what has been. won The men of
the West with red blood in their veins
will not reed to be appealed to, because
they will subscribe to this last call of
the Government as ungrudgingly as
they did in the past There are others,
however who may not be so keenly and
conscientiousiy alive to the duty of re-
spending to the Nations call, and it is
to those that the women must direct
their most untiring efforts.
This last call is truly Victory Loan.
What greater pride can men and wo-
men experience than in contributing
to 1T? A Victory Bond will be worth
more than it's price expressed in dol
lars. Every one will be u badge testi-
flying that the holder has helped his
country to fulfill it's pledge to those
who have been spared as well as those
who have made the supreme sacrifice.
