Never let your hair look shaggy or

you can do an amazing lot to reduce un-

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

the psychology of irritation rather than
of anger when you call irritating any
thing that gets on your nerves. Wheth-
er it's a shade nearer to anger when
it "gets your goat is an open ques-
ton. In this we vary immensely, but
the persistent displeasures, thwartings,
Interruptions are the typical irritants
The reason why the irritations that
prevent you from going to sleep are
the worst is because you are then tired,
and fatigue makes us irritable, though
there's no use in getting angry, for
anger wakes you up. It's a rattling
shutter and the general banging in
a windstorm for many; it's the ticking
of a clock for others, and It's a snor-
ing sleeper on the sleeping car for the
whole carload. They are all persistent,
and sounds are the most irritating In
terruptions.
It is true that we find the developed
irritation close to anger, especially
when it is not things but persons who
are irritating. They rub you the
wrong way, set Oft your antagonistic,
rebellious streak. You can't get along
with them, you quarrel; you increase
each others irritation until you arouse
anger and hatred. You have a
mad" on, or feud, II you prefer the
term. But mad as synonym OF ex-
treme irritation or plain anger is char
acteristic; when things, or rather per-
sons, are most irritating, they are mad
dening and you lose your temper to
bsgin with, your head If you let the
passion grow to the irresponsibility of
a brainstorm. Just as the child's irri-
liability sets the major problem for the
first steps in self-control. so does the
constant control of our irritabilities set
the permanent problem for keeping the
peace.
It's the little irritations of life that
count: they make up in frequency
what they lack in importance.

Irrita tions.

The common term anger includes two
orders of emotional excitement that are
closely related, yet distinct enough to
play a different part in our behavior.
True anger is the one. irritability is
the other. They are of near kin, broth
ers at the least, perhaps twins. 1rrlta-
bility is the simpler and consequently
the earlier emotion. Anger has been
termed the fighting emotion, the emo
ton aroused under the fight situation.
Irritation is the emotion aroused when
one is thwarted.
Hold baby's arms and prevent move
ment. and you may call the cry and
struggle irritation or anger as you pre-
fer. C!iick-tenpered and hot-tempered
people may be both easily irritated and
easily angered, but the irritable man
may be fairly peaceful in temper, he
ia not aggressive, as is the ttuas soh0leric.
In the child the irritabiltty pattern
leads; in the adult either may dominate.
When we are hungry or tired we are
irritable rather than angry; we are put
out, surly, in bad mood. have crouch;
we find things or persons provoking be-
cause we are easily provoked. When
we are good and angry, especially at an
insult or injustice, we are bent upon
punishment and revenge; We want to
hurt somebody.
The displeasure tone of irritation is
readily traced through a variety Of sit
nations. The sensory leads. Disgust
affiliateS with irritation II you in
Eensely dislike parsnips or onions or
liver or marrow and unsuspectingly get
q moGthful of the offending stuff, you
can easily detect the flavor of irritation
In the experience. You are thwarted
you expected an agreeable taste and you
got nasty one
At luncheon my neighbor ordered
apple pie His reaction to the first
taste was even more vioieut than my
rendering of it: Say, you, waiter, why
didn't you tell me the darn thing had
nutmeg in it?" You don't quite fighl
the cause of your irritation, though
you may feel like throwing the stuff
out of the window, but you can baWl
out the waiter. Yet you don't really OF
fully get angry at the pie with nutmeg
though you say you hate nutmeg, whei,
you mean you dislike it, You can hate
your enemy; but the nutmeg flavor
Isn't exactly your enemy, though 1t mo-
mentarily dtsturbS your peace OF mind
Quite the best illustration CT the
thwartedness that is the typical irrita'
ton situation is an interruption. Ther'
is nothing so irritating as an interrupt
ton; you want to go on and you ar
stopped. Then when you try to resum
you can't remember what you were go
ing to write next, and this increase
your irritation. Waiting is sirnilari,
Irritating, because you want to do some
thing else and can't AS you are wait
ing for a delayed car or train, your lrrl
tation rises with each minute, and Whel
you rail against the company for 1t
poor service you are using your irrlta
ton to arouse your anger.
Flies are tantalizing, they persistent
ay interrupt your attention, and yo
swat them with glee and with ex
pletives. An ordinary colloquial damn
expresses irritation rather than anger

Under this direction of the stars

she is totally off the breast.
IT. at the third or fourth month,
you have begun to give her one arti-
fetal feeding of cows milk, water and
sugar-a good plainly this time you
have worked up to nearly whole milk,
and you can give the baby at this
feeding the same strength that you
have been giving her in the one bot
tie. If you haven't been giving her
this one artificial feeding, you will
have to begin with little weaker
formula BY the ninth month she
could stand about one-half milk and
one-half water, without any sugar. Each
day you can use tablespoon more
of milk and one less of the water until
she is getting whole milk. When the
baby gets whole milk there is no need
of Sweetening it.
She should be having. also. by this
time, cereals and pureed vegetables and

most animals are held. Until recently

However. VIC have never seen dog
so far capable of licking the ordinary

bition at the show. Only the aristocracy
may be seen-the Persian, the bob
tailed Manx the blue Carthusian, etc.
A companion. more interested In the
habits OF cats than In their social
status asked: What makes cats yOWl
all night on back fence? Where do
they get their nine lives and why?
Why do they always land on their feet
If tossed from a height?"
Perhaps cat lovers can answer his
questions. We do happen to know that
a cat, unlike the dog, will lie in wait
for Its prey and spring upon its victim,
depending largely upon its claws for the
purpose of disabling 1t. The dog. on
the other hand, will trail its prey for
miles If necessary.
A cat is more detached and dignif1ed
