WHY the Mind Leaves Home.

When a man wise in knwledge and
experience saws a thing so well that
it's worth reading twice to make sure
you get it all it's well to listen to
him. This is what DR.. Myerson of
Boston says about common notions
as to the cause of insanity:
II do not believe l know single
.psychiatrist of standing who would be
willing to say that overstudy ever
caused insanity. The average psy-
chiatrist would be willing to say that
an exhausted state might so be
caused, and would agree that over.
study was bad and poor substitute
for the gorgeous realities of play and
recreation. He would be willing to
say that abnormal mental types are
found in undue proportion among
those who are too slavish in their
devotion TO learning and marks. The
boy or girl who is too conscientious
student, and who does not find in
the allurement of sports, friendship
and sex a partial antidote to the
grind of high school or college, lacks
fundamental instincts, or, at least, is
not well balanced in desires and mo-
tives, and so is potential candidate
for mental disease. The excessive
study thus marks type, and is, in
tAiS SSisSs SyuiplOIIA anu tloL q
cause.
And this is true of business re.
verses and also love in all its normal
and abnormal manifestations. Some
men do break down mentally after
business stresses, but usually this is
mere coincidence, and close study of
the most of such cases reveals other
causes. During the panic periods
there is no noticeable increase in in
sanity, though there is more suicide.
Ma jor mental disease and business
misfortune are too common as human
Affections not to come together now
and then. The prosperous contribute
their full share to the hospitals and
sanatoria of the world, and the down
and-outer may maintain his sanity de.
spite the humiliation of his lot. And
so with the sex lfe-from love frus-
trated to the sex perversions no real
proof has been adduced to show that
these very common happenings and
habits wreck the mind.
1T is true that abnormal people do
abnormal things and react abnormally
to the common lot. The normal Tilted
lover means, groans or RACES, accord.
ing to his nature, for a while, then
sooner or later comes back for more
and puts down his experience as part
Of the profit and loss of life. And
not to go into the details of sex life,
the good and bad suffer from men
tai disease.
In truth, psychiatry is not a branch
of morals, and mental disease is no
more a punishment for immortality
than sanity is reward for saintli-
ness. Indeed, a study of the life of
the saints is much more of an excur-
sion into psychiatry than is study
of the life of the great sinners
The gist of it is this: That some
people are more disposed to disorders
of mind than others; that each so
disposed is disposed in particular
direction; that every ones mind has
its limit of what load it can carry
without breaking; that certain com
mon disappointments and tragedies of
life are apt to be the ones that strain
the weak points of the minds makeup

Calendar Gifts Made at Home
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

the eyelet holes at the top to hang up
the calendar.
Blotter calendars, one for each
month of the year, are always good
for the desk of a person who writes
much or has social correspondence.
Such a gift is adapted to men as well
as women. It's practical element Is
among it's most appealing features.
Small blotters of the correct size come
in nackage of a dozen at small cost.
Only six for each gift need be used If
preferred, as one can bear two months
upon Il. This is a good way. as one
can see at a glance a required date in
a month of the past or the future.
Pocketbook calendars are good to
send to friends instead of Christmas
cards. This is an appreciated remem-
brance. and one which is current in
England. An ordinary calendar pad
can be transferred into a pocketbook
calendar by making a small heavy
cover. One sheet of the imported
papers which are so exquisite would
suffice for a score of such calendars.
The cover should be n folded piece of
paper, into which the calendar is
slipped. The back side of it may be
held secure by glue. The dimensions
OF the cover should be slightly larger
than those of the calendar in order to
offer the edges some protection.
A sturdy frame for a desk calendar
is made as follows: Cover a frame.
shaped piece of cardboard, the width
of which is about three-quarter inch,
with cretonne or leather. If the latter
the upper part of long kid gloves can
he utilized. The edges are neatly
glued to the under side. The back is
made of piece of heavy cardboard in
the center of which is an easel strip.
This consists of a straight piece glued
on and bent out. This completed back
section which is of the same size as
the frame is then glued to it, and the
calendar pasted in the opening. 1t is
well to make a selection of calendars
before making the frames. as it might
be difficult at the last moment to Sc
cure the desired size to put into the
space.
If possible to cover blotter corners
to match calendars, the gift becomes
one of special distinction. and could
be considered as very appropriate to
guestroom writing table.

Cheese Classified.

American cheese is a good type Of
hard cheese, and to this class belong
Swiss, Stilton, Cheshire. Gorgonzola,
Edam, Port-du-Salut. and others, vary
ing in consistency from the very hard
to a cheese which might be called
soft. Stilton and Cheshire are Eng.
fish cheeses, Edam a Dutch. Gorgon-
cola an Italian, and Port-du-Salut a
French cheese, yet all are now made
in this country. Neufchatel, cream,
Brie, Camembert and D'Isigny are
soft cheeses. and Roquefort a semi
soft. Limburger is also soft cheese.
and it with others, such as Brie and
Camembert, represent those cheeses
whose characteristic favors are pro-
duced by specially selected fermenta-
tions. Sage is variety of Cheddar
cheese. Parmesan is a very hard
Italian cheese, known as "Grana" IN
Italy, because of it's granular char
acter. 1t is sold grated and bottled as
well as in its migrated form, and is
principally used in this country for
serving with soups. salads and such
dishes. and cooking with macaroni
and rice.

YOUR MIND

And How to Keep 1t Fit

and wreck the personality which the
mind serves; that these episodes we
popularity call the causes of insanity.
They are only part of the overload.
the worry load, the last straws that
break the camels back.
The major mental disorders and,
still more, the far more frequent
minor ills that mind is heir to are
combinations of poorly balanced,
badly regulated ways of carrying the
burdens and a more than ordinary
difficulty in carrying them. That la
bility may have valuable compensa-
tons through which some of the work
of the world is done. The common
problem for all of us is to get the
best preparation in mind health and
sane living to carry our burdens with.

the ribbon will be slowly unwound and
taken through the several rooms to
the porch and finally to the garage.
where it will be tied to the door of the
car. We believe the originality of the
idea is worth mentioning.

A Sermon for Today

The Magf.
Text-"There came wise men from
the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where
is He that is born King of the Jews?
For we have seen His star in the
East. Matt. 2.1-2.
In Persia there were many believers
in astrology They believed that every
man was born under his own star,
and that il ones birth star could be
located his destiny could be foretold.
Moved by this belief there We're as
trologers who devoted their time to
studying the heavens and making pre-
dictions regarding the future. These
astrologers were called wise men. 1t
is probable that the Messianic hope, so
long cherished in Israel, had perco-
lated into Persia And so it came
about that in Persia there were those
who shared Israels expectation of a
coming king whose glory would sur
pass that of all others.
Then a strange star appeared A
group of wise men, or Magi, as they
are also called, generally supposed to
have been three. decided that the
strange star was the star of the prom
ised Messiah. These Magi at once de-

gether few gifts fo;' Him, they left
their homeland and followed the star
to Judea. Learning from those ac-
quainted with the prophecy that Christ
was to he born in Bethlehem Of Judea,
they made their way there and found
the Christ Child. And when they
found Him they fell down and wor-
SHIPPED Him.
Thus the Magi We're rewarded for
their adventure of faith. They fol-
lowed the star and were led out of the
land of superstition into the land of
clearer revelation. They found the
Promised One. who has become the
Bright and Morning Star" of the
world. dispelling from the minds of
men everywhere the darkness of igno-
rance and superstition and lighting
them with the light OF divine knowl-
edge and truth. I'VE have seen His
star" said the Magi. His star,
when followed will always lead men
out of darkness into light"

is really a case of being down in the

The motions for the massage will al
