You see him here with fine racehcrse with which he won
the st. Leger, important British race.

Of the people attached to land that he owned9 No.
Was because he devoted his long life to the welfare Of
che children born on his land7 No.
he was goodnatured and hunting squires CO.
He felt that the Lord had made the beautiful British land

part Of what they earned ..~t..e. =. f.'.*se
Sykes was called the ideal British squire because nheritng
Us brothers land title and foxhound in 1929 when he was
fortyx years old he continued to hunt which means to
direct and follow after his pack Of hounds until he died
at the age of ninety-one.
It is fine thing live to be nnetyone and pleasant
hing to hunt hounds all the time that is what you enjoy
Sykes was much interested in his hounds and the horses on
which he followed them
And when one Of female hounds had puppies he liked to
be told about it, woe the servant that failed to look
after the mother the puppies.
Woe also the poacher that venured to shoot fox

About other puppies the human puppies born on his
land Sykes worried less although he wished them all possible
luck as long as they didn't bother him.
There are living in America today many like Sir Tatcn

SECRETS OF
HEALTH


TVHE sense of smell is another
u Of those remarkable abilities
with which animals are endowed.
In the human being the sense
of smell is most delicate. Often
the presence of minute substances
can be recognized by their odor
when their presence could not be
discovered by the microscope or
even by spectrum analysis. For
instance, three hundred millionths
of a grain Of musk can be de-
tected distinctly by the structures
that create the ability to smell.
These structures comprise the
nose, its mucous lining, and the
olfactory nerves.
No odor can be perceived as
such unless it be in the form of
q gas or vapor or In tiny par
ticles Of solid matter which are
capable of solution in the mucus
Of the mucus membrane lining of
the nose.
An odor passes usually from
the air outside through the
larger air passages Of the nose
then higher up into the nasal
chambers Of the nose, and there,
in the mucous membrane, the
olfactory nerve endings pick up
the sensation and transmit it to
the brain. Thus the individual
recognizes what the odor Is and
classifies it.
II the odor is faint we tend to
sniff the air. BY this means,
quick drawing in Of air, the odor-
Gus particles are condensed and
forced more closely against the
membranes from which the nerves
transmit the message.
Curiously enough IL the same
sensation caused by any par
ticular odor il repeated the sen.
sation soon ceases to be. in
other words. the nerves become
exhausted.
This explains why we can be.
come used to all kinds OF odors,
even foul ones. For example, a
person entering a sick room
where disagreeable disinfectant
has been employed for some time
may be profoundly impressed by
that special odor. The nurses on
duty, however, may actually be
unable to detect that odor any
longer.
1t often takes some time for an
odor to be detected. Likewise,
the sensation of the odor may
persist after the substance re.
sponsible for the odor has been
removed.
Persons of a neurotic or highly
strung nervous system may ex-
perience the sensation of smell,
often of foul nature, when no
substance causing such an odor
exists. This is due to mental
processes coming from the un-
conscious or deeper mind and may
be a symbol of disagreeable ex-
perience in the past.
It Is astonishing also how
many different kinds of odors can
be distinguished. There are those
who can distinguish individual
odors in a mixture Of doors.
Many persons suffer nasal OBJ
struction Of one type or another.
This not only int eB6eres with the
sense Of smell but may, in ad-
ditionz tend to deteriorate gen.
eral health.
A septum-the cartilagenous d.
vision of the nose-which deviates
to one side or the other may
cause partial or complete obstruc-
ton of one nasal passage. Some
times q septum Is somewhat s.
shaped and partially obstruct both
air passages.
Polyps in the nose and ade-
noids. especially in children. are
frequent offenders In cases Of OBJ
Utruction.

Every man is at heart something
OF a romanticist: and when a girl
becomes too hard.boiled to awaken
his imagination, she soon dis
covers that she can't even arouse
his senses, beyond a kiss or two.
Some men have to have a lively
breakfast-table argument to tone
them up for the day. But, to an
intelligent woman, 1t seems foolish
to waste a lot Of brilliant logic on
a man who Is legally bound to
listen to her.
The most faithful and devoted
husbands always seemto have the
dowdiest wives. It's the uncertain
kind, who inspire a woman to
spend her days running around to
