HOW ONION AFFECTS EYES
"Gass" Given Off Causes smarting and the Organ Hastens to Take Relief
 Measures.

The "gas" given off by a freshly peeled onion makes itself apparent in two ways-by a strong aroma which Is at once apparent to the sense of smell, and by a smarting of the eye balls, which, being very sensitive, are hurt by this substance to which they are not accustomed.
 The nerves of the eye immediately signal the brain to turn on the tears or liquid which is secreted by the body as natural eye-wash. This, flowing over the eyeball, forms curtain which prevents the onion "gas" from coming in direct contact with the nerves and thus fnjurfng them.
 Tears are present in the eye at all times. When we wink, a tiny drop of the tear-liquid Is smeared across the ball of the eye and washes off par ticles of dust which may have accum- ulated. But when this liquid Is pro- duced so rapidly that it cannot be carried off by the trough at the lower part of the eye, the tears overflow and run down the face.

WHY ONES TEETH "CHATTER"
Certain Set of Muscles, Affected by the Cold, Get to Work, irrespective
 of Will.

The little muscles which close the jaw are acted upon by the cold In such a way that they pull the jaw up and then let 1t fall by it's own weight.
 This, repeated many times, causes the teeth to click together and produce what we know as "chattering."
 We think of 1t in connection with our teeth because 1t is the teeth which make the sound, but the cause lies In the muscles which we use In chewing or in opening our mouth when we speak.
 The chattering occurs in spite of the will or brain. We have little control over it. and can stop 1t only by clench- ing the teeth. It Is really a mild va- riety of spasm caused by the cold, which acts on the jaw muscles in much the same way that some poisons pro duce muscular spasms which cannot be controlled.

Progress Proves Wisdom.


 The recorded progress of our re public, materially and spiritually, in itself proves the wisdom of the in herited policy of non-involvement in old world affairs. Confident of our ability to work out our own destiny and jealously guarding our right to do so, we seek no part in directing the destinies of the old world. We do not mean to be entangled. We will accept no responsibility except as our own conscience and judgment, in each in- stance, may determine.
 Our eyes never will be blind to a developing menace, our ears never deaf to the call of civilization. We recognize the new order in the world, with the closer contacts which progress has wrought. We sense the call of the human heart for fellowship, fra ternity and cooperation. We crave friendship, and harbOr no hate. But America, our America, the America builded on the foundation laid by the inspired fathers, can be a party to no permanent military alliance. It can enter into no political commitments, nor assume any economic obligations which will subject our decisions to any OIncI ludn OuI On II
 I am sure our own people will not misunderstood, nor will the world mis- cOnstrue We have no thought to i'm pede the paths to closer relationship. We wish to promote understanding. We want to do our part in making of fensive warfare so hateful that gov ernments and peoples who resort to it must prove the righteousness of their cause or stand as outlaws before the bar of civilization.
 Association for Counsel.
 We are ready to associate ourselves with the nations of the world, great and small for conference, for counsel, to seek the expressed views of world opinion, to recommend a way to ap- proximate disarmament and relieve the crushing burdens of military and naval establishments. We elect to partici-
