"NERVE SKATER" CASES CURED
BY DREAMS

Curing nerve-shattered soldiers through
their dreams is the latest experiment of
the British army medical corps, and ac-
cording to Captain M. Culpin it is sue
ceeding beyond all expectations.
"In the method I adopt" Doctor Culpin
says, "the patient relates the dream to
me. I question him about it, and if the
underlying memory is not deeply blurred
this questioning may recall it, and it is
only necessary to insist upon the man talk
ing about the incident.
"Next make the patient close his eyes
and visualize the dream, and 1 try to as
certain what particular feature causes
emotion. By dwelling on this feature I
induce an emotional state and assure him
that he felt like that before and that men,
ory is coming up.
"When success is attained there is a
sudden change of facial expression or
even an access of terror. By this know
I have reached the true cause of the
dream. The merest scrap of a dream

THE PRICE OF RADIUM

Before the war an ounce of radium
could be bought for about $2,125,O00. The
present price is anything over $3,1SO,OO0.
Already no less than $22, 100000 has been
spent by different nations in an endeavor
to procure radium in large quantities, but
as yet there is not quite two pounds of
the priceless substance in the world.
To produce this two pounds, morethan
five tons of uranium had to be mined, and
as the cost of handling the ore works out
at no less than $4,000 ton, it will easily
be seen what enormous difficulties have to
be encountered to procure the smallest
amount of radium.
Radium salt is recent discovery, and
is only little inferior to pure radium,
and costs 100000 an ounce.
Valuable radcliffe watches are coated
with greatly adulterated radium salts, and
one gramme of these salts will provide
burning material, or radcliffe as it is
called, for $4,000 watches.
The life of these salts is estimated to
last for $500 years. They discolor if of
inferior quality, turning both brown and
pink, but if they are perfectly pure they
will keep their snowy whiteness for at
least one hundred and eighty years.-Ex.

MAN OF MANY COUNTRIES

This puzzle in nationality has the
marines guessing.
Louis c. Minette, accepted for enlist
ment in the United States Marine Corps
at Tulsa, Okla, said that his mother was
an American, who married a Frenchman
in Italy. He was born on a ship flying
the Spanish colors while lying in the Eng
lish Channel. AT the age of FIVE his
parents died in Sweden, and he was
adopted by German, who brought him
to the United States. His adopted father
is not naturalized citizen.
"Would you class him as The Man
Without Country?'" the recruiting SER
geant was asked.
"Man without country nothing" said
the sergeant, "Pd class him as League
of Nations. "-Exchange.

PERSEVERANCE

IT'S the coward who quits to misfortune,
IT'S the knave who changes each day,
IT'S the fool who wins half the battle,
Then throws all his chances away.
There is little in life but labor,
And tomorrow may find it a dream;
Success is the bride of endeavor,
And luck but meteor's dream.
The time to succeed is when others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire;
The battle is fought on the home stretch,
The victory won 'twixt the flag and the
wire-Chatham.

I HAD A FRIEND

Commend me to friend that comes
When l am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering of his own;
Who calmly shuns the glittering thronI
AT pleasures gay levee,
And comes to gild sombre hour
And gives his heart to me.
He hears me count my sorrows DER,
And when the task is done
He freely gives me all ask
A sigh for every one.
He cannot wear a smiling face
When mine is touched with gloom,
But, like the violet, seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
Commend me to that generous heart
Which, like the pine on high,
Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every change of sky;
Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But like the winters icy crown,
Looks greener through the snow.
He fits not with the fitting stork
That seeks a southern sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
Oh, such friend; he is in truth,
Whate'er his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on its sea.

THE MAN WHO WINS

The following poem was distributed to
thousands of buddies, during the world
war, especially on the ocean liners. 1t is
worth reading and rereading:
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but you think you
can't
It's almost cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose you've lost,
For out of the world you find
Success begins with fellows will
It's all in the state of mind.
Full many a race is lost
Ere ever step is run;
And many coward fails
Ere ever his works begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow;
Think small and you'll fall behind;
Think that you can and you will
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are;
You'v got to think high to rise;
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Lies battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
