TO DANISH THE BLUES
Undue Dependency Can Be Cured by
Attention to Diet and cultiva-
ton Of Optimism.

A fit of the blues" is as much an
i~ntoxication as a drunken spree. and
a bad attack may disqualify a person
for wise and efficient action as thor
oughly as alcoholic intoxication.
A person subject to the "blues"
should in his most lucid and optimistic
moments resolve to make no impor.
tant decision. and to set a special
guard over his conduct, while under
the influence of the food OF poisons
to which the condition is due.
The real cure for the .blues" lies
in prevention by removing causes.
The foul breath and coated tongue
noted in these cases are abundant evil
dence of the poisonous origin of the
blues" The adoption Of a poison
free diet is almost invariably fol-
lowed quickly by a change in the men,
tai state.
1t is important, then, that we culti-
vate optimism and forcing the mind
into optimistic channels Of thought.
This can best be accomplished by
reading optimistic authors and talking
with optimistic people. An excellent
plan is to set oneself the task of cur
ing some other neurasthenic suffering
from his pessimism, by deluging him
with optimistic ideas and expressions.
Adopt a diet that will Introduce poi

not miraculous, but can be adopted

Carrier Pigeons in Warfare.

The use of carrier pigeons is very
ancient in the Orient and was brought
to the attention of Europe at the time
OF the First crusade, wien the Sara
Gems were found to have the birds in
regular use for the conveyance of in
formation. The Christian commanders
employed falcons to chase and inter-
cept this pigeon post Oh several occa-
sions, and on others caught the tired
birds. substituted misleading messages
for those they were carrying, and sent
them on to deceive the enemy. The
Mohammedan sovereign Nureddin used
carrier pigeons for welding together
the scattered parts Of his empire. AL
though the use continued, it was not
until the Franco-Prussian war of 1870
that pigeons were again Of c%onspicu-
GUS public service. During the siege
Of Paris constant communication was
maintained between the besieged city
and the outside world by mean Of
the carrier birds. Subsequently the
German, French and other European
governments established regular pigeon
corps and thousands of birds were

GAS TO FOIL BANK ROBBERS.
Continuance Threatens to Make Trou-

Society's Enemies.

Bank robbers who make a speciality
of attacking vaults with explosives
will do we'll to beware Of a contriv-
ance newly patented by Richard C..
Roeschel of Harrisburg, Pa.
He proposes to provide a chemical
defense for banks in the shape of an
arrangement of glass tubes forming a
sort of %poison-gas battery. 1t may be
made part of the gate inside a vault.
or may have any other structural re-
lation to the vaults that is deemed
desirable. 1t may even he portable

and removable in the daytime.
The tubes r designed 10 contain
benzyl iodid. tear-gas stuff. or any
other suitable chemical which. when It
expands, Is calculated to asphyxiate
the robber or at least put him To
fight. Bulbous expansions Of the tubes
furnish containers for the deadly ma

The robber has only to start ONE
thing by setting or a charge OF ex.

tubes; out flows the lethal chemical.
