stated, however, that the road will be

Governor Preus has issued the fof'
lowing proclamation for November
"a, Thanksgiving day:
GAS the end of the year approaches,
it is our custom to look back and re-
view our gains and losses and to take
such stock Of our present situation In
doing so, we find that we have un-
usually much to be thankful for. We
have garnered harvest which is more
than ample for our needs. There is
no lack of ANY of the necessities OF
life
During the past year our country, as
whole, and our own state especially,
have been singularly free from calaml-
ties which destroy human life and prop.
erty. We arc at peace with all nations
and we are rapidly forgetting hatred
and mending the wounds caused by the
recent world war. We are emerging
from the period Of lavish expenditure
and extravaganza which followed the
war, and are returning to normal liv-
ing conditions.
ut is most appropriate that we
cease from our daily tasks for one day,
to give thanks to the Almighty for the
many blessings He has bestowed upon
US. Therefore, 1, j. A. o. Preus, Cover
nor of Minnesota, do hereby designate
and set aside Thursday, November oath,
as Thanksgiving Day, and request it's
observance throughout the state.
"Pernit me to urge that all our
citizens, in their customary places Of
worship, or in their homes, give special
thanks upon that day to Divine Provi-
dcnce for munifcence and for guidance.
"Let us ALSO, at this season Of the
year, show our gratitude in a practical
way. There are some in our country
who have not been blessed with any
surplus of worldly goods and a great
many in some other nations, who are
facing actual want and starvation.
Those Of our people. who have more
than they need can show their thankful
ness by giving to those who are in
need. Let us see to it that every
person in our land has something for
which to be grateful.

CURES BY EXCITEMENT
By Il. Addington Bruce

| r N New Jersey not long ago barge cap
I tain, speechless for months as the re-
- suit of injuries received in a collision
between his barge and a tug, took the wit
ness stand to testify in lawsuit growing
out of the collision. All his answers to the
questions put to him were in writing.
That u.s. all were so given until lawyer
handed him a model of his barge, asking
him to point out just where he was stand
ing when the collision occurred.
Right here said the captain, speaking
in clear voice, to his own amazement and
the emazement of all present.
Later his physician, questioned as to this
unexpected and spontaneous recovery of
speech attributed it to the nervous excite
ment engendered by the court proceedings
known to bring about other and even more
surprising cures
In one instance a woman so severely
crippled by a malady, thought by her doctor
t. be rheumatism, that she could not rise
from her bed, was subjected to vaporiZing
treatment. The attending physician bungled
matters so badly that some boiling water
fell upon the helpless patient.
doctor, you have scalded me-! she
screamed. With the scream she leaped
nmbly out of bed. And from that moment
she was no longer troubled with rheuma-
tism
Again, an old woman paralyzed for years,
regained complete control Of her limbs when,
having a horror of mice, she one day saw
a mouse run toward her. In another case a
cry of 'Fire!' and the smell of smoke cured
the paralysis of a man long thought to be
incurable.
Numerous similar instances might be
cited. One and all, they probably are in
stances of cures of what doctors call hysterla,
that strange malady capable of mimicking in
its symptoms the symptoms of almost any
disease. And since hysteria has as it's under
lying f;4ctor an abnormal mental condition
the condition of extreme suggestibility-it
really is not astonishing that emotional
shocks or great nervous excitement may at
times suffice to cure it.
But precisely how excitement effects cures
of hysterical mutisms, contractures, paraly-
SIS ETC.. remains a mystery, unless one &C
cepts the so-called neuron theory
According to this theory the symptoms
found in hysteria the result of discon-
nection of nerve-cell lnkings, SO that the
usual coordination between the will and this
or that bodily organ is impossible. Excite
ment is assumed to have the effect of re-es-
tab1ishing the nerve-cell linkings.
This theory may or may not be correct.
The important thing, after all, however, is
not absolute knowledge of the modus oper-
andi of excitement cures, but apprehension of
the fact that excitement can and sometimes
does cure.
Lacking such appreciation, a cruel fnjus-
tice may be done to the person cured, in that
her or she may be wrongfully accused of hav-
ing deliberately pretended to be i'll when not
really Ill at all.
