As to the matter Of constructing

A magazine editor once said to me
that he would Ike to get a good story

The art of story telling is a gift.

Figures Of Speech

II is a very cid English belief, al
luded to by Shakespeare and other
writer's, that whoever carries about
with him the seed Of the fern thereby
renders himself invisible. "We have
the receipt Of fernseed. we walk iuvis-
ible," says a character in Henry w."
The seed OF certain varieties Of fern
is so small as to be nearly II not
quite invisible to the naked eye, and
hence the plant itself was believed to
confer invisibility on those who car
ried It about their persons. It was at
one time held by the ignorant, and by
some of the educated as well, that
plants have the power Of comforting
their own properties or specialties on
their wearem. Thus, tho herb-dragon
was said to cure the bites Of serpents;
the yellow celandine jaundice: the
wood-sorrel, which has a heart-ehaped
leaf, to cheer the heart; liverwort to be
good for the liver, and so on.

The Nile crocodile would never

victim by drowning It. The creature
drags a human being or an animal into

It's prey and sinks under the water.
BY shutting its nostrils and closing a
membrane in the back Of its throat,
the crocodile Is able 10 bold its breath
longer than the drowning victim. III
the latter shows unusual resistance,
the crocodile comes up for another
breath Of air. and then sinks uider the
surface Of the water again. Once n
victim Is drowned, II Is devoured By

'Life's Hurdles
BY L. E. Biseh

Fear is such q common emotion tina,
it has claimed q great deal Of atten'
ton by scientists.
Fear is the greatest undermining
factor there il.
An individual may be ever 80 strong
physically and mentally, but once LEI
fear take hold and he becomes abso-
lutely helpless.
The late William James, Harvard
psychologist, enunciated a theory con
corning human emotions that was
revolutionary at the time, but has
since withstood the test Of investigs-
ton. In effect, James said:
"You do not run because you're
afraid but, on the contrary, you're
afraid because you run"
Should you suddenly and uneIpect-
edly be confronted by wild animal In
the woods your first impulse would be
to remove yourself a. far as possible
from the danger.
In other words, you would turn
about and run!
Then, finding yourself running, you
would realize that you might be at
tackled and the result would be fear!
The same is true for another emo
tion-blushing.
A girl bushes not because she's en-
barrassed.
A girl is embarrassed because she
blushes!
The flushing of the cheeks occurs
first-only then comes the emotional
reaction.
All this happens with the greatest
possible specific running, the blush
ing, whatever the reaction may be.
In Connection with fear another in
teresting mechanism has been worked
out.
One Of the functions of the liver is
to store mp sugar in the form of sly-
cogen.
This glyeogen is used for emergency
purposes, to activate and strengthen
muscles when an extra strain is put
upon the mind and body.
When we become afraid the nervous
system carries messages TO the adj
renal glands-situated over the kid
neys-which begin to oyersecrete. draw
glycogen from the liver via the blood
stream, and stimulate the muscles so
We can run faster.
All this sounds, and is, exceedingly
interesting. In fact, all the body me-
chansms are marvellous.
But thorough understanding Of all
the emotions-just how they work, as
IL were--still remains a knotty prob
lem.

George Bernard Shaw, who, whcth-
err right or wrong, is always inter
esting, says that in the ideal state
men will work only four hours day
and have eight hours for leisure. The
question that Immediately arises is:
"what will the whole human race
do with eight hours of leisure on its
hands every day."
Many people today are bored to
death trying to find ways TO kill time.
It's wonder that, with all the efforts
made to kill il, that zine is not yet
dead.
You cannot spend eight hours
day at the movies or in theater. 1t
would soon drive you insane. You
cannot play pinochle or golf OF sit
through baseball game or fish or
hunt eight hours a day all the year
round. You cannot even hold hands
with a pretty girl that long as
steady diet. You've got 10 come up
for air once in a while.
50 how are the inhabitants Of the
ideal state going to kill those eight
daily hours? If they ever find way
Of doing II satisfactorily, il they ever
discover a method of achieving happi-
ness for eight hours day, will they
not resent the four hours Of work
that interfere with their enjoyment?
Why not cut down the four hours
of work TO two hours or one hour, or,
better still, cut out the work en-
tirely?
The ideal state, ms Heine described
1t, is a place where the roast ducks
fly around carrying dish Of gravy
in their beaks. Hens lay omelets.

The price Of pedestal remains pretty high. When

Today, when he appears in a ring, although he is
an old timer, he is more popular than Dempsey.

Bright Disease
By Royal S. Copeland,

Everybody has a fear Of Bright,
disease. That is one Of the ailments
we all dread. 1t Is probable our feel
ing Is not justified by the actual facts
With proper care and suitabule diet
the majority Of kidney ailments can
be controlled, IL not actually cured,
provided the treatment is started early
enough.
Kidney diseases begin with conges-
ton. The first factor in all inflamma-
ton is congestion, an oyer-supply of
blood. There can be no Inflammation
without congestion. Unless it is speed
lily relieved, then,( We must regard
congestion with some anxiety, because
it may end in real disease.
The beginning Of Brights disease is
called active Hyperemia," or acute
Congestion" In the infectious or con-
tagious diseases, or after exposure to
cold, there may be severe kidney con-
gestion. The organs become swollen
and tender.
Unless promptly attended to, there
may develop actual inflammation of
the kidneys. Then we are dealing with
acute Bright's disease.
The causes are the same as those
which produce active hyperemia-cold,
feyers and poisons. 1t may be symp-
tom of pregnancy. Such simple dis
eases as tonsilitis, chronic Indigestion
and certain skin diseases, may result
in kidney involvement.
The most familiar symptom Of acute
Bright's disease is dropsy. The eye
lids, the cheeks or the ankles may be
swollen. On pressure Of the finger,
dent is left which is slow to disappear.
The flesh over the tops Of the shoes is
swollen and other parts Of the body
may show evidence Of dropsy.
Except in very severe case there
is little, If any fever. There may be
sickness at the stomach and occasional
attacks Of vomiting. Persistent head
ache and pain across the back are
other symptoms complained Of By
some.
A mild form Of acute Bright's dis
ease, or acute nephritis, as 1t is called,
may not be serious in and Of itself.
The trouble is, however, there are
complications which are liable 10 add
to the unhappiness Of the victim.
Bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia and
other lung diseases are not far aWsy,
IL there is a persistent nephritis.
By giving the right attention early
enough an acute Bright's disease may
be controlled. The first necessity Is
to keep quiet. Rest in bed is essential.
The theory Of treatment is to take
off the kidneys all the work il is pos
sible 10 turn 10 other organs. To this
end the bowels and skin are called on
70 work harder. An open bowel and
free sweating arc important.
The milk diet Is a favorite pre-
scription. Milk diluted with carbo-
mated water or lime water is frequent
~ the order Of the doctor.
Don't get scared to death il you are
told you have a touch Of Bright's dis
ease. With care on your part you will
fully recover.
