DISEASES OF
THE MIND

NVo most people the nature Of .
u mental illness is shrouded In
mystery and cloaked with horror;
the minds eye conjures up q pic
ture OF padded cells, clanking
chains and barred windows. How
ever, many persons suffering
from mental illness Of varying
degrees of severity pursue their
accustomed tasks and mingle with
their fellows day by day, their
condition remaining undetected,
says DR.. L. D. Hubbard In
Hygeia for August.
Some OF these unfortunate peo-
pie do not realize that anything
is wrong with them: others do,
but the superstitions that sur.
round mental disease make them
ashamed to acknowledge their
trouble and seek help. The line
between the mentally i'll and the
mentally well is ha1y and indis-
tinct, for the limits Of nornality
cannot be defined.
Many mental disorders are in
the beginning only exaggerations
of traits that are common to all.
Fears, Observation-Disclosures, high
tempers and sensitiveness should
not be allowed to grow. If the
person who has any Of these con-
ditions cannot control them, he
should have the help Of a trained
psychiatrist.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
~Yes, DsrIlng!''

Yes, DarIlng!s
DEHOLD. in Babylon, there
I'D dweIt q Youth who NNEW
WOMEN. For his middle nan1e
was Wise Boy.
And, It was his boast, that, Tor
him, the Inarriage-tie was but
slip-knot and that no woman
should ensnare him therein.
Now, IL 50 happened, that q
Certain Dameel cast her eyes
upon him; ana In. her glance there
was a strange gleam that Wise
Boy understood not.
And, 10, It came to pass that
Wise Boy found himself at the
damsel's door three evenings run
ming, and he was nightly puS-
zled. But he forewarned her, say.
ing, "Be not deceived, Sweetest!
For this IL but q Complex and
will pass, even as the others.
For I am NOT a marrying
man.
And the damssl said. Yes. dar.

Yet. when three weeks had Rono
by. Wise Boy was astonished to
find himself placing q solitaire
upon the third finger OF the darn
sells hand. And again. he eau
toned her saying:
''verily, thou hast set thy mark
upon me, and I have slipped my
rnoorines. Yet, not for many
years shall I be willing to depart
from the FairWay Of freedom and
90 into the Rough. And art thou
willing to WAIT for ne?"
And the damsel said, Eyes.

And, at the end Of six months,
Wise Boy saw himself walking to
the altar, ana was dAzed. For,
he knew not how he hao collie
there.
But, when the agony was over.
he gathered himself together, ana
spake wisely, saying:
'sNow, shall we live, our own
lives in our own sweet way, ana
NOT as others do. Lo, there
shall be neither Ynothers.in'law
nor relatives nor family friends
within our gates. We shall dwell
quietly In the suburbs, where
there are no cabarets and no for
NAL teas, and no dinner parties
nor the giving Of dinner parties,
to mar our Joy. And there snail
be only a flivver and a dog ana
a rose garden to consume our
time and our moneys"
And the damsel said, YES
darlingr
And 30, 1t came to pass. that
they took q ten-room apartment
upon the. West Side, and kept an
imported car. And they spent
their evenings In merriment, ana
their winters in Florida, and their
summers with Her Mother. And
Wise Boy became the most pop.
ular after.dinner speaker in Ell
their set!'
And, when his years had waxed
As. and his girth and his fortune
had increased. and his Silver
Anniversary approached, Wise
Boy took his wife in his arms
and kissed her saying, How per-
fectly mated we have been! 20,
thou hast made me what am
today"
And the woman stroked his hair
and whispered softly, YES, dar.

And, in the sleeves Of Angels
and Of Cynics. there was the
tinkling of silvery laughter. And
a voice within him cried, "Ba-

QUEER SORT
OF SPIDER

TN Australia there exists an un.
i usual species OF spider called
Argiope, or x-ray spider.
They spin the same kind Of
webs as the ordinary spider, but
decorate the center with broad
white ribbons of closely.woven
silk. These ribbons form an X.

rived the name.
The ribbons are placed so as

WATER SHORTAGE
NOT DANGEROUS
bitches Open Until August 10th

ditiOns Favorable

Favorable weather conditions
have permitted steady and album
dant delivery of water thruout the
system of the irrigation district
for some weeks past, says Supt.
w. C. Muldrow. A good margin
has been secured on the main ca
nal by claiming. Weed growths
have progressed on the lateral sys-
tenn so that steady claiming cam
paign is in sight for the next week
Or two.
1t is not possible to say at this
time, when another shutout will be
necessary, but it seems certain
that it will not be before August
Goth or 18th at least.
There is still surplus flow over
the river dam of some 400 cubic
feet per second. The canal is tax
ing 275 cubic feet. So the likeli-
hood of shortage for our needs,
seems remote.

h 1t a Fish or Not?

The ohm or proteus is a curious,
snakelike fish which is totally blind
and it's eyes would be of little value
to 1t In the subterranean waters
which 1t inhabits. The ohm is both
lung and a gill breather, lying at
the bottom of stream at times and
extracting oxygen through its gills
and again rises to the surface and
breathes through its lungs. If the
ohm lives in warm waters it brings
forth its young alive, while trans
planted to colder waters the same
ohm will lay eggs and hatch its
young from them.
