Health Affected by Emotions,

Any emotion that gives pleasure
acts ~heafthily on the heart and other
organs, the circulation becomes more
brisk, and appetite and health i'm.
prove. Love, hope and happiness all
produce these emotions and, contrary
to the accepted notion, the ardent
lover ought to enjoy his meals thor
oughly.
Despair, grief and fear have quite
another effect. They make the action
of the heart slower, and enfeeble the
nervous and muscular system, often
upsetting the digestion as well.
Anger auses the heart to act VIC
ientiy, working upon both physical and
mental powers. The muscles for the
time being r taut and tense, and
the secretion of bile Is increased. A
reaction follows rapidly, when the
muscles become iabby and a feeling
OF weakness pervades the body.

Weather Ar.e.. Watch SPRING..

Did you ever have the handspring
OF a watch breakf If you did. the
changes are that this occurred in thun-
derstorm weather. writes C. A. Briggs
In Popular Mechanics Magazine. II
has been the experience Of many jew
elers that In thunderstorm seasons the
number Of broken watch mainsprings
Increases greatly. This has been erro-
neously ascribed. though somewhat
vaguely, to the erect of electricity,
magnetism. and of the noise from the
thunder, but an analysis Of the IL
plantations attempted fails to develop
any reasonable relation In accord with
these ideas.
This matter has recently been made
the subject Of scientific study. II was
finally found to arise from the fact
that at this time Of the year the air
was both warm and moist, and that
both OF these conditions facilitated
rusting. A small spot of rust often
starts on the spring or In q crack. and
the spring o weakens and lets 20.

OSHKOSH ORPHANS

Demand of Board of Education Results

There.

Oshkosh, Wis.-As a result Of re-
cent investigation of the Elizabeth
Batchelder Davis orphans home here
by state and city health officers in
which it was found that the institution
was kept in an insanitary condition,
the board of education has adopted q
resolution holding the trustees of the
home responsib for the future situa-
ton. The resolution adopted not only
requires the trustees to be responsible
for sending the orphan children to the
public schools regularly and in a clean
and sanitary condition, but also pro-
vides for weekly inspections of the
children at the home by the city school
nurse. A report of the school nurse
showed four children of the orphanage
had been absent from school SO days
because of the "itch" and eight had
been absent So days because of head
lice. The nurse said conditions had
improved somewhat since the shocking
conditions were discovered and the
children now have individual towels,
combs and tooth brushes.

MONEY is GONE
:. FROM PILLOW
Victor MOndrawicks Com
plains to Police That
$500 is Stolen.
KEPT IT UNDER HEAD

1t was curious story which Victor
told to the police at eight-thirty
o'clock Monday night. He told of the
theft of $500 in cash from a pillow
in his home, but the story is curious
one and the police, while working on
the case, are still guessing. A wife
and a pillow and bank book and
the greenbacks are all mixed up in
the story, and so far the police have
had no report which will give them
a working clue as to who the thief
may be.
Mondrawicks said that when he left
home Monday morning there was $500
in cash in the home and when he
came back at night the money was
gone. He said the money was in
greenbacks and had been folded inside
the bank book in order that the bank
book and money might be readily at
hand when they were TO take it to
the bank. The whole outfit together
with purse containing twelve dollars
had been placed in pillow, he said.
When Mrs. Mondrawcks came to get
the money in order to take it to the
bank, it was gone, her husband re-
ported. He said that she told him
about the theft when he came home,
but that she did not know who took
the money.
The police sergeant sent an officer
to the house who could speak Lith-
uaniap, the native tongue of Mrs.
Mondrawicks, who cannot speak Eng
lish, in order that a clearer account
of the theft might be given and some
obscure points cleared up.

nection with Management of
Large Kenosha Plant.

George A. Maher, of Kenosha, has
been elected vice president of the G.

messages received from Detroit today
Mr.. Maher will succeed L. I. Buchan-
an who has served as vice president
of the company since its organlza-

Mr. Maher is now second in COM
mandn to William F. Anklan, former
Kenosha man, who is president of the
great lamp making company in charge
of the big plants in Detroit and Ke-
nosha. Both of the men are widely
known to Kenosha people and both
have been leaders in the industrial
field in Kenosha..
Not to Leave Kenosha.
While Mr.. Maher has been elevated
to the Office of vice president of the
company, he will not leave Kenosha
and his duties have been arranged so
that he will continue his very highly
successful management of the Keno
sha plant of the c. M. Hall company.
Mr.. Maher has been manager of the
Kenosha plant of the c. NJ. Hall Lamp
company since the Detroit company
took over the interests of the Badger
Brass Manufacturing company seven

Kenosha plant has had an era of great
prosperity and the business of the
company, from the Kenosha plant, has
been widely extended. Vice President
Maher will continue to make his home

require him to give more time to
work at the main offices of the COM

milton of merit in his work for the
organization. Since his coming to
Kenosha, Mr.. Maher has taken very
active part in the development of the
industrial side of Kenosha and leaders
here are pleased that his new office
will not make it necessary for him to
leave Kenosha. He has been a leader
in many lines of work in Kenosha.
He has been one of the most active
members of Rotary, leader in the
Kenosha Country club, and active in
every movement for the advancement
of Kenosha.
Mr.. Maher begins his new duties
