WHY ONES TEETH "CHATTER"
Certain Set Of Muscles, Affected by the
Cold, Get to Work, Irrespective
Of viii.

The little muscles which close. the
jaw are acted upon by the coldin such
a way that they pull the jaw up and
then let it 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 it is the teeth which
make the sound, hut 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 it only by clench-
ing the teeth. 1t is really 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.

LAND BANK ACT
CONSTITUTIONAL
Congress Had Authority to
Establish Banks and Ex-
empt Bonds.

Washington.-The farm loan act,
designed to assist agricultural devel-
opment of the United States by pro-
viding readily accessible credits to
farmers through federal land banks,
was declared valid Monday by the
supreme court.
In an opinion which Commissioner
Charles E. Lobd&l of the farm loan
board declared clears away every
legal question and removes every
shadow of question as to the legality
of the banks or their bunds,1 the court
held that congress had full authority
to establish the land banks and the
authority exempt their bonds from
State taxation.
Commissioner Lobell announced
that there would be an immediate is
sue of farm loan bonds ito an unde-
terminate amount to finance the
hundreds of millions of dollars in
loans which already had been approx
ed by the board and which were held
up pending the courts decision.
"a bond offering will be made as
soon as the bonds can be made ready"
Mr.. Lobell said "And Immediately
thereafter distribution of the funds be-
gun. 1t will be at least 80 days, how
ever, before funds are available for
actual loaning.
"The farm loan board is hopeful
that the market may absorb farm loan
bonds equal to borrowing demands of
farms of the country, but no one can
predict with safety the result of a
financial operation of this magnitude. .

HOW ONION AFFECTS EYES

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 smaFting Of the eve
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 a natural eye-wash. This, flowing
over the eyeball, forms a curtain which
prevents the onion rgas" from coming
in direct contact with the nerves and
thus injuring them.
Tears are present in the eye at all
times When we wink, tiny drop Of
the tear-liquid is smeared across the
bali 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 1t cannot be-
carried of by the trough at the lower,
part Of the eye, the tears overflow and
run down the face.
