The proposed calendar would consist Of thirteen months of

be an additional eap day. and it would become June 80
The extra month Of the year would be given suitable

The months of the calendar would end Saturday and
begin on Sunday and national holidays would fall the same

character and high intellectual
capacity. The type prediposed to
tuberculosis. Hutchinson says, Is
accompanied by an imaginative
and emotional, /. e., by an "artis'

Close as is the relation between
metabolic type and temperament,
the relation between visceral func-
ton and character is probably
even closer. Mind is as deep as
the organs. Feeling.tone, sensa-
ton of well--or ill--being, Is de-
pendent largely upon sensa tons
derived from the activity of the
internal organs. especially those in
the abdomen. Congenital feeble
ness of the digestive apparatus
may lessen mental energy and i'm
pair cheerfulness and sociability.
Dysentery saps the courage OF an

who have relaxed bowels seldom

synonymous with screwing up

Peculiarities in the working of

the circulation in the brain. Any
thing which impedes the flow of

How profoundly a change in
the state of the nervous system
alters temperament may be seen
in the changed personality OF
neuraSthenia or the deterioration
OF moral character following
many sicknesses. A predominance
of one kind of ner Jous control
produces an energetic, adaptable
type Of man, whereas, when the
other kind has the upper hand,
a slow, sluggish type results. 1t
is, however, the intellectual rather
than the final moral qualities
that are dependent on phVsiolog'
