BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Despite the close friendship between
Tom Wolfe and Henry Pierce, the lat
ter could not prevail upon Tom to
take out a policy of life insurance.
Pierce's urgings, however finally re-
suited in Tom allowing his life to be
insured on condition that Pierce would
pay the premiums, Pierce also was
named as the beneficiary in the policy.
Pierce paid the premiums regular
ly. Tom was struck by an automo-
bile and sustained injuries from which
he died. Thereupon Pierce made
claim for the insurance money.
The company, learning of the facts.
refused to pay the amount and Pierce
entered suit.
The court decided that Pierce was
not entitled to recover the face value
Of the policy, in accordance with the
following rule:
'One may insure his own life for
the benefit OF another having no in
surable interest therein where he
makes the contract and pays the pre-
miums himself. However, a person
will not be permitted to insure his
own life for the benefit of another
where that other has induced him to
procure the insurance and pays the
premiums thereon. To be valid he
must have an insurable interest in
the insured's life. such as that grow

Eastern Academy on East Capitol

The Young Mothers Diet.

The mother whose child is not yet
born must be particularly careful of
her diet through all the months be-
fore the birth of the baby. She should
live on a very light. simple. laxative
diet, nutritious. of course. but inc!ud-
ing an unusually large proportion of
liquids and of foods containing liCuid
such as fruits and vegetables, and
fairly small proportion of meat. one
reason is that there is Il great ten
dency at this time for what doctors
call the "excretory organ not to
function properly. Bad nerves ard ill
health are apt to have this effect.
But as 1t is more necessary at this
than any other time for the body 10
function properly, the diet must take
care of this tendency.
There is another point to consider
also. The woman who tends to be
fat is apt to get simply huge at this
period. She needn't. AS matter OF
fact she shouldn't. for it Cnly makes
the birth harder. Also beyond GER
tain point there is no advantage in
having a fat baby. The best doctors
nowadays regulate the diet toward
the end of this period to keep the
child down TO the normal pounds
or so. The birth is easier for both
mother and child.

YOUR MIND
And How to Keep 1t Fit
BY PROF. JOSEPH JASTROW.

One of the commonest things in the
diet in many parts of the world isn't
food but a Stimulant to the mind
Cafe" the French for coffee. means
place for food service, and cafe
terra" is the American version of it.
A hundred million Americans CON
sumo perhaps half as many million
cups of coffee day. How. many on
waking say or think: Give us this
day our daily bracer?" Coffee wasn't
known in western Europe until about
1850, and tea, introduced at about
the same time, wasn't commonly used
until our colonial days, when the
rebellion of the Boston Tea Party
started us on the road to becoming a
United States.
Coffee is drug habit for the mind,
craved by our Western civilization,
though the Turk is the original coffee
drinker and the Chinaman the tea
drinker. In this respect East isn't
east, or West west; but all are human.
Coffee meets need of our psychology.
SO it's worth while to find out what
coffee does to your mind. Prof. Hol-
l:ngSworth of Columbia University
had gang of Is coffee subjects under
test for 40 days. The chemical essence
of coffee is caffeine. An average cup

grains, while a cup Of hot black tea
contains one and a half grains.
The imagination works as we'll as
drugs. and many people are kept
awake more by remembering that
they took coffee than by the caffeine
in their system. SO Prof. IIollingS-
worth gave the drug in such form
that the subjects couldn't tell whether
they had caffeine or not or how much
they had. He gave from two to six
grains, the equivalent of one to three
cups of coffee. The effect begins
within an hour and lasts from one to
four hours, depending upon the dose.
Though we don't know exactly how
these mental effects work, in many
drugs there is a stage of excitement
when the mental pace is quickened.
the mental process keyed up a bit,
followed by a state of letting down
which may go so far as a depression
or stupor.
The topper who gets lively or excited
in the early stages Of alcohol later
gets groggy, then dead drunk to the
world and has a depression and a
dull head the next morning. There's
none of that in the effects Of coffee.
though 1t is true that the smaller
doses stimulate and the larger doses
lower the mental capacity. For

one cup Of coffee helps. two may,
