There's always a mailman Turk

This individual is highly emo
tional, goes off the handle cas-
ily. He is not exactly crazy-Just on
the borderland, though under sui
ficient excitement some OF them
have periodic fits Of violent insan-
ity. ,..,
The trouble with this individual
is, as he claims, nerves lie reacts
excessively to the ordinary emo
tional irritants OF life.
Unstable Personalities haven't
n brakes. DR.. A. Warren Stearns,
neurologist, says: 1t is their un-
comfortable excitement which often
touches the match to the mob, and
their lack OF emotional control is
n OF the important elements III

According to this Description a
lot of these unstable personalities

liberation-are running amuck these

most of us ignore the rules.
Nearly all our troubles and dis

named Jean La Fontaine, born at

wrote this;
A sturgeon, once, a glutton famed
was led
To have for supper-all except the
head.
With wond'rous glee he Toasted on
the fish,
And quickly swallowed down the
royal dish.
O'ercharged, however, his stomach
soon gave way,
And doctors were required with
out delay.
The danger imminent his friends
desired
He'd settle everything affairs re-
CURED.
Said he, in that respect, I'm quite
prepared;
And, since my time, so little is de-

With diligence, l earnestly re-

Like most OF us, the glutton died

TAKING A CHANCE

Chang Shu Yik, Chinese nurol-

sessed with a desire to live longer
than nature wants them to. When
ever a medical specialist advances
a theory about how to ward off old
age. he instantly sweeps the pop
ular Imagination. Just now it Is
monkey glands.
But, mark this: Even il q.
white doctors found a formula ior
eternal youth, no one would OBJ
serve the rules. They would not
pay the price, for the Americans
live in the NOW and give little
thought to the future"
