FEAR AND HEALTH

l Although the effects of fear are
 disastrous so far as the full attain
 ment of our life's object may be con cerned, it's physical effects on body 1 functioning are far greater.
 In cases like personal contact with enemies. fear of animals, worry and excitement over financial situations or failure to govern the desire of re- l venge. the brain cells undergo de-
 structive change. Subjection to the | inroads or stimulus of fear, whether temporary or prolonged, results in a
 distinct less in brain power. With out unimpaired action of the brain to do your bidding in the direction of body work, loss in power to act and partial paralysis of real bodily health results.
 Whether the brain is exhausted by work or fear, it's restoration is mat ter of rest and sleep, together with strong resistance. But fear continues it's destructive inroads and unless ar rested in time, will cause nervous and brain disarrangements of most con- sequences to your health.
 This let down in brain power seems to start other bodily losses. Fear causes heart impairment through overwork which results from jumps, strain and increased action when fear grips the body. A peculiar sensation of despair and prostration with a sinking feeling, sometimes accom- panied by cold sweat, tremors and jerking muscles is produced. At such a time, all bodily functions which are of no direct assistance in the effort towards self preservation are par tially or totally suspended. In fact fear may so exhaust the organism that death may result.
 Changes through fear arc respon- sible for the hyperactivity Of the thy roid and adrenal glands. Both are of utmost importance in governing body action. The thyroids control to great measure the wear and tear of the body or the process of metabol- ism. The adrenals produce a secre- tion which controls blood pressure through the nervous mechanism.

MINNESOTA RECLAIMS
LOW GRADE IRON ORE
Cream OF Rich Deposits Being Rap
idly Diminished

DULUTH, May 26.-1n the early
days of Minnesota mining, the min
eral rock containing less than so per
cent iron was disresarded, but today.
according to a survey just completed
by mining experts here, methods are
being utilized to develop what are be-
lieved to be fneXhaustible oeds of
lower grade mineral ore. Approx
mately % per cent of the tonnage
shipped from Minnesota has been
made available through treatment of
, the low grade ore in the ore washing
plants.
The cream of the rich ore deposits
is diminishing rapidly, according to
these experts. and eventually the ore
mining activities in the worlds lars
around this reclamation process, al
though a few of the richer beds may
be maint aimed.
1t was IL years go that the Oliver
Iron Mining company, controllers of
approximately 40 per cent of the Lake
Superior properties, installed the first
ore washing plant. Now there are -
of these plants on the Mesabe and
Guyana ranges in Minnesota. The
ore washing is merely process of
separating the sand and rock from
the iron ore It is tedious process,
and innumerable improvements were
necessary before this reclamation
could be made profitable.
Wool exports from New Zealand in
recent year exceeded 100000, 900
pounds.

NOTED SUCCESSES
FOR THIS SUMME R
Big Broadway Hits viii Be
Offered BY Casts Of Sc
IeCted Artists

Birmingham is soon to Join the
ranks of those cities who have been
favored with the best the legitimate
drama has, namely, a real New York
cast of favorites and the recent
Broadway successes, produced with
same care as to detail s the Broad
way shows.
Announcement was made of this
fact Saturday by w. s. Crosbie of the
Lyric theatre, who has received word
from A. A. Chouteau, Jr., general
manager of the Interstate circuit
that a deal had been contaminated
to bring to Birmingham at the close
of the vaudeville season an organi-
zation of the highest type to present
many of the late New York sue
cesses.
1t is said to be almost impossible
at the present to get the better class
of actors to travel with road shows
Their service are constantly In de-
mand on Broadway and with the
several high class all star orEaniza-
lions in other large cities. The one
night stand shows have been forced
in most instances, to travel with me
dioere organizations. 1t is therefore
of interest to local theatre goers to
realize they viii soon have an on
portunity to see big plays put on by
big actors in q big way.
BY maintaining A company for an
extended engageme ut and presenting
play each week, it is possible to
cut the production expense to such
an extent that the best productions
can be offered at prices within the
reach of every one. The important
travelling shows have been forced
to charge enormous prices to meet
the high cost of travelling and hotel
expense.
