to consider and to solve the relationship of
colors to our health, comfort and tempera-

There is a school of medicine which has
arisen-not yet fully accepted by the or
thodox members of the profession, II may
be said, which practises what is called varf
ously chrome therapy, spectre chemistry
and color healing. One of its leading prac-
titioners in New York explains its tech
nique as follows:
"The solid parts of human body are
composed Of approximately 81 per cent
hydrogen, 1874 per cent carbon, 2.5 per cent
nitrogen and ~ per cent oxygen, which
make up 81 per cent Of the total About
per cent more is calcium and another l per
cent phosphorus, while the sole remaining

other element in the world, of which at
present there arc known to be nearly

whether vegetable or animal, is but the
evolution of elements energized by the
radiant energy given off by the sun over
waves Of light.
Radiant energy is the source Of all
energy, and every element absorbs and
emanates this energy. Nothing could grow
without it. This is the most obvious pos
sible fact. But few people link food, medi.
cine or anything else they take into their
system directly with the sun. Tell the
average person on the street or in a cafe
that he eats and drinks radiant energy and
breathes It and he will laugh at you. Yet
this is precisely what he does do. He eats
cereals, fruits, vegetables, meats, drinks
water, milk, and breathes gases, all of
which are composed of elements energized
and brought into being by radiant energy.

respond to certain number of beats.
When these beats come so fast that there
is only $4,000 Of an inch between them.
the cones which are sensitive to this tattoo
send nerve impulse to the color centre
Of the brain, which is registered there ~
what we call violet When the light waves
which are only 10000 Of an inch beat their
tattoo upon certain cones In the eye, these
send the nerve impulse which We call the
color red. The cones which respond to the
color vibrations Of red do not register
green or violet, for instance. Nor do
these others register red.
And here we have the explanation Of
color blindness. In those who do not per-
ceive the colors red or green. for instance,
the cones which are supposed to register
this number of strokes are either absent
or deficient
1t can now plainly be understood how
closely related to the machinery of the
eye color is and how that machinery can
be disordered by too much Of one color, or
anything which will disorder the workings
of the little cones and upset, Just as the
physician previously quoted pointed out
the whole physical system.
But there enters another strange thing
in color. Every non-luminous object alb
serbs and throws back a certain number
of these light waves. An object which alb
serbs them all is black. An object which
throws back all is white. The rose Is red
because 1t absorbs everything except the
red rays of light and throws them back.
Any object is a certain color not because
1t is that color, but because 1t has no power
to absorb the light waves which produce
the sensation we call that color. II you will
take red rose and look at 1t In light
which contains no red rays that rose will
be black.
And this ability to absorb certain rays Of
light and throw back others also has its
effects modern science believes, upon the
health and mentality of human beings.

Professor M. Luckiesh, the distinguished
American physicist, who Is perhaps the
greatest expert upon color on this side OF
the Atlantic, records some interesting ex-
periments upon the effect of color upon
physical and mental efficiency.
"Fere studied" he says, 'the effect of
colored light upon muscular activity. In
ordinary light this muscular activity was
found to be % units. It increased to "a
units for blue light; to 28 for green light;
to 30 for yellow light, and to 35 and AZ
units, respectively, for orange and red
light.
"Pressey found that after subjecting a
person to q given color for five minutes
he could detect differences In the effects
of the various colors upon tapping activity,
memory, mental work, and so on. He found
subjects with pronounced intolerance for
a particular color. The mental processes
of one subject might take 20 per cent more
time under the influence of one color. Or
the memory work of another might show
a marked improvement under certain
colored light. Tapping activity was more
uniform with green light, slower with blue
light and decidedly quicker under red
light. Arithmetical work was strongly i'm
proved under red light"
With violet light, both mental and physi
cal activity was impaired.
Not only wall paper, the draperies and
hangings of our home may and do have
pronounced effects upon our health but
the color Of our clothing as well. Nor only
the light rays of colors reflected from our
clothes, but those which our clothes alb
sorb are important to us, science believes.
Before the war the German dye makers
had monopoly of world trade. But since
the war the American dyes have forged
ahead and most OF our fabrics, wallpapers,
etc, ETC.. are now colored with American
made dyes. We are no longer dependent
on foreign dyes. Here would be a great

SCISSORS IN THE KITCHEN
USEFUL FOR MANY THINGS

Medium-sized scissors hanging in Z
convenient place in the kitchen are
a valuable help. Here are some OF
the purposes for which they will be
found useful:
Cutting cold meat into cubes.
For cutting celery or green pep
pers into small pieces for pickles or
salads.
For shredding cabbage or lettuce.
For cutting up raisins or dates.
For cutting out the center mem
brane Of grapefruit in preparing it
for the table.
For cutting out the woody core
and eyes of fresh pineapple.
For trimming the rinds from
breakfast bacon.
For many other occasional pur-
poses.
After the scissors are used each
time they should be carefully wash
ed and dried.

think they are-or' perhaps would like to have others suppose them
to be? They are enthusiastically Motif you re spending your
money for mail order merchandise. You can't send a cent of cash
out of town for goods that can be bought in town and support to
the greatest possible extent the public schools.
Every brick in the schoos--every book in the schools libraries
must be purchased with school taxes" The size of the taxation de-
ponds N the wealth of the community. And the wealth is governed
largely by the earning capacity of the people who live in the com
munity.
Money sent away from home doesn't pay for one minute of
home town "labor." 1t doesn't fill the dinner pail of a single local
worker. 1t doesn't enrich home dealers 1t doesn't by one word
broaden the knowledge of the children of this town-add to the at
tractiveness or comfort of school days.
Money spent with local merchants travels in a circle. 1t doesn't
go out of circulation when rung up the dealers cash register

How To Get a Pair

The Herald has just a few pairs
of 8-inch scissors, left over from a
premium offer put on several years
ago, that would sell now for at
least rs cents. A very good utensil
for ordinary cutting and just the
checker for the purposes mentioned
above.
While they last we will give n
pair of these handy, "self-sharpen-
ing" scissors to each new subscriber
who pays one years subscription at
the regular rate. Or, we will give
one pair to each old subscriber who
pays up for a year and a half or more
at least six months of which time is
in advance. If you need scissors it's
just like finding a pair.
