clock made by a wrinkled peasant, carved in
long Winter evenings under the cold skies Of
the Swiss Alps and well carved too, if you
ask me-.
Little vines carved into the wood and
strange wide-open flowers, and on the very
top Of the clock q deer's head with branch
ing ~antlers.
The clock has two heavy weights that hang
on long metal chains, but most important Of
all-is the cuckoo.
The cuckoo lives in a little house at the
top Of the clock and when the clock strikes he
pops out of the door and calls in a high clear
voice "Cuckoo-cuckoo," so that all the world
may hear. Nobody could possibly be lonely
in the house with him.
He is such a cheerful, impudent, good
natured little fellow. with his CAV cry and his

The brain is subject to diseases the same as any
other organ.
Each organ has its own way of showing
that it is sick. A sick brain is evidenced by dis
turbances of consciousness, by delirium or by
insanity. Watch your health to keep your
mind wellw
This is we'll said. It is the truth.
Doctors are more and more convinced that
arrangements of the mind are to be traced to
sick bodies. Perhaps the only evidence Of dis
ease is the fact that a mind, formerly normal.
has become deranged.
Insane asylums used to be custodial institu-
tions, that and nothing more. That is not the

today putting together the declara-
ton upon which the party will ask
a new grant of power from the
American people in the November
election.
Second in Importance to the selec-

form presents an unusual number Of
perplexities for the leaders who will
work but the draft form for the con-
sideration Of the convention, prob
ably next Thursday.
Whether all of the problems can
be solved within the closely guard
ed committee rooms remains a mat
ter Of conjecture. with the possibili-
ties that the two most controverted
subjects-farm relief and prohibition
enforeement-will find their way to
the convention floor.
Should these two subjects be
thrown open for a finish fight by
the delegates themselves, the grand
old party may furnish the most
spectacular convention it has held
IN more than a decade. But the
leaders will bend every effort to pre-
vent a floor fight by settling all con-
troversies within the resolutions
committee. composed Of one member
from each of the states.
Administration forces and farm
leaders still are far apart on the
agricultural relief plank and il may
require a couple Of days to iron out
those differences If they can be set
tied without n vote Of the convention
itself.
