Everyday Psychology
81 DIR. JESSE W. sPRowIs.

Mental contents seem to be some
thing with which to conjure. Even the
most learned of psychologists seem to
know little about this subject. So
whatever we say here must be taken
with grain of salt.
We may go at the question this way:
Suppose your mental contents are the
course, are not in themselves material
things. They are merely your ex-
periences stored up in the nature of
memories. But one can easily suppose
that these ideas have some connection
with material things. Otherwise, the
mind and body would have to be con-
sidered as two entirely separate things
So the question turns upon the known
facts about these materials.
The brain proper is composed of a
great number of tiny cells, known as
brain cells. That much is known for
certain. AS to the exact number of
them we have only the conservative
estimates of brain specialists to go by
Not so many years ago it was estimated
that there were something like SOC, 00O,-
600 of them. A few years later q GER
tain German Savant, more liberal with
figures, doubled that estimate and made
1t 1900, 100000. Then only couple of
years ago an Englishman came along
and raised the estimate to the almost
unthinkable number of 9,000,000,000.
Whatever the number is, let us sup
pose that one idea may become asso-
ciated with each cell. That will give
you fairly stable mental contents, even
If you accept the smallest estimate of
the number of cells.
But these brain specialists have some
thing more to say. They tell us that
each cell is potentially associated with
every other cell, and that one cell may
carry potentiality for perhaps SO diff
ferent ideas. One of these ideas may
at any moment be aroused without dis
turbing the slumbers of the others.
Reasoning from this point of view
there is no limit to the number of diff
ferent ideas you may have in your
mental contents

Lemon Custard Pie.

Mix the yolks of three eggs with two
cupfuls of sugar, butter the size of an
egg, the juice and grated rind of one
lemon, two tablespoonfuls Of cornstarch
and two pints of boiling water. Place
on the fire to boil until thick, stirring
constantly, then pour into a baked
crust. This is enough for two pies.
Beat the whites of the eggs, add slowly
two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar,

White Pine Forest Is
Threatened bv Fungus

The future of all white pine forests
is threatened by a fungus known as
white pine blister rust which attacks
the pine trees only after it has under
gone period of development on the
leaves of currant or gooseberry plants.
The cultivated black currant is so ex-
tremely susceptible to the disease that
it is a distinct menace to the white
pine timber supply. 1t is responsible
for establishing the blister rust in
white-pine forests which would other
wise have remained free from the dis
ease. s..r.- -..7 -..f
AS warning of this threat to
very important forest tree, the Do
minion department of agriculture has
issued a scircular on sthe white pine
blister rust in which the disease and
it's effects are described and control
measures proposed. On white pines
the disease first of all ages and, I'm
less controlled, prevents the growing
of these trees in areas where currants
and goeseberries are abundant.

Gardens Keeping
Pace With Diets
Supply of Celery, Lettuce,
90 Spinach Trebled in
Past Decade.

The value of garden used to be
based largely on the saving it per-
mitted in the budget for food. and the
variety it permitted in the diet That
was perfectly in order. But now we
have come to think of gardens more
in terms of health and enjoyment.
Vegetables have come to the front in
the matter of diet because they supply
roughage as well as yitamines and es-
sential minerals. In order to build up
resistance to disease and provide iron,
calcium and phosphorus and vitamines
for the body, at least two vegetables
other than potatoes or dried beans
should be eaten every day.
Crops TrebIed.
Maybe gardens of yesteryear sup
piled all these things-but did they?
Not to the same extent as the gardens
, of today, because we have learned so
much in late years about food value,
diet and the Importance Of vegetables
in the diet. 1t is significant that in
the last decade the consumption of
celery, lettuce and spinach has
trebled. Iron for red blood is better
supplied by garden green's than By
| patent medicines.
Health and Happiness.
1t is not every garden, of course,
chat supplies health and happiness in
the fullest measure-only the we'll
balanced gardens. Such gardens pro-
duce the edible-seed crops-beans,
peas and sweet corn; the root crops,
such as beets, carrots, parsnips, etc.;
the green and salad crops, such as let
tuce, celery. cabbage, chard, etc.; the
vegetable fruits, such as tomatoes,
| squashes, eggplants, etc.; and, in ad-
| dition, small fruits such as strawber-
ries, raspberries, currants, gooseber-
ries, etc. Varieties are Influenced by
! locality and condition of the soil;
what is best in one part Of the coun-
try is not always best in another. It
is good plan to use, for the most part,
varieties which have been tried and
found satisfactory. But don't close
your mind on new varieties-try
new one of at least one crop every
| year.-The Farm Journal. -r.. ..

that this paper makes a charge for
publishing notices of socials, en-

with correspondents letters we do
not always have the means of
knowing to whom to look for pay,
since it would not be proper to eX-

out, they go unheeded, and take 1T
all around, we lose many dollars in
such a way, within years time.

not, is very easy matter to deter

whenever an entertainment, play,
social, lecture, etc, is to be given,

must be other and more definite
reasons why this amendment should
be defeated. At least seven reasons
for it's defeat appeal to me:
First: Because it is a wide open
amendment, with the sky the limit.
Second: Because it is not tax
program, but an amendment giving
the legislature power to tax you at
most as they please and tax legisla-
tion is not even subject to referen-
dunn.
Third: Because powerful lobbies
would throng our capitol demanding
special taxation favors.
Fourth: Because the ordinary cit
izen who is now paying more than
his share of taxes has neither the
lobbies to plead his cause.
Fifth: Because Senator Bender
will next year submit his referen-
dunn to reduce rural representation
and should this carry, the taxing
program will be dictated by few
large cities
Sixth: Because our entire taxing
program would be subject to radical
changes each two years, with ac-
companying destructive uncertainty.
Seventh: And last, because II
adopted, it will write into our con-
stitution a debt creating device that
will burden our children into the
fourth generation.
