THAT BODY OF YOURS
BIZ JAMES W. BARTON, M. D.

It has been proved that mental i'm
pressions exert great influence on the
action of the stomach and intestines, SC
that physicians now inquire as to
whether the patient had been put under
any mental strain Just before the
stomach symptoms appeared.
Sometimes just repeated irritations at
the store, shop, factory, school, office, or
even in the home, may cause disturb
ance in the stomach.
The suggestion, therefore, for physi-
clans is that, after examination, they do
not tell the patient that he is simply
nervous" but tell him frankly that the
acid content of his stomach digestive
Juice has been changed and that this Is
likely due to the nerves controlling this
stomach Juice being disturbed by
anxiety, shock, mental strain or other
emotional disturbance.
The suggestion for the patient with
stomach trouble is that he tell his ply
sician of any shock, anxiety or sorrow
that has occurred.

Everyday Psychology
Closed Places.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Some persons are in misery when they
are obliged to travel In an ordinary
sleeping car Some are unable to sleep
in a room higher than the second floor.
Some are In sweat until they get out
of an ordinary street crowd. Some
have feeling of suffocation in foggy
weather, snowstorms, transforms Some
are entirely unable to travel far into
a forest. Some are i'll at ease in
walking up an alley between tall
buildings
Ask them to tell you why and they
can give no sensible reason. They know
that nothing will harm them, but they
have a feeling that something might.
Parents and nurses sometimes disci-
pline small children by putting them
in a closet or other small room for a
while. This practice has been found
to be the source Of several Of these

Future similar situations arouse the old

Such is the power Of the unconscious

d dropped or low position of the
stomach, which prevented its empty
ing itself properly, and also a 'spastic"
Or partially closed condition Of the
large intestine.
In the opinion of DR.. A Kreeke,
Munich, who examined the patients, the
outstanding cause Of stomach dis
tlubance in these 514 cases, who had
no ulcer or cancer, was that their
mental or nervous balance was upset by
emotional disturbances, such as shock,
anger or sorrow.

pensible. When to their utility

be among the most welcome at Christ
mastide. So I am giving a few sug-
gestions which may help the woman
who is making her Christmas gifts,
and who knows she must be economical,
yet spurns the idea Of allowing this to
be apparent.
The fact that these cushions and
cases take but little material, which
often can be found in ribbon boxes or
piece bags, is a point in their favor.
The pins and needles which, in most
instances, should be part of the gift.
are cheap even in the best quality.
The daintiness of these miniature
cases can be so pronounced that they
can be choice little gifts.
Tomato pincushions are exquisite
when made OF pastel colored silk, with
contrasting colored crochet silk FORM
ing the cross bars, dividing the circle
into six or eight segments, according
to the size Of the cushion. Nothing
could be easier to make, for two circles
of materials are scanned together at
circumferences. When three-quarters
of seam Is finished, stuff the cushion
with horsehair or absorbent cotton, and
complete the seam. Divide the circle
In half, then quarters, and finally In
eighths, by crossing the cushion with
strands of the silk pulled rather taut.
With a blunt needle, threaded with the
crochet silk, weave the silk over and
under the strands at the center to
form a woven surface one-haf inch in
diameter. Do this each side, then run

Estimate Oats and Barley
Crops Will be Smallest
on Record

Corn, according to the Septemb-
err report of the Minnesota de-
partment Of agriculture, is the only
crop in this state which is not
short this year. The preliminary
estimates on September 1 place the
production of corn, all spring
wheat, oats, barley, fax and pota-
toes at 297, 800. 900 bushels compared
with 439, 651 900 bushels in 1882. The
five-year average for these crops is
381, 656,OO0 bushels. The report
states that corn is the only pros
pective crop which Is near the five
year average production and all
other crops are considerably be-
low that average and are less than
the final yield in 1882. The long
drouth and the insufficient rain
fall during the growing season cut
the production.
In nearly all counties in west
central Minnesota, crops were bad

hot and dry weather and in this
area indicated yields in many sec
tions win be the lowest on record,
which win materially cut down the
state total production as prospec-
tive yields of small grains In 9TH

Bureau S Muster
Day To Be Held
Farmers to Rally at Township
Meetings for Annual
Roll Call

Three hundred years ago Ameri-
can farmers were beset with many
problems. Their livelihood depend
ed on the bounty they could wiring
from the soil. Colonial farming OPP
erations were necessarily primitive
and hard. In addition, enemies be-
set them. Indians lurked in the
forests surrounding their clearings,
and Americas pioneer farmers had
to be constantly on guard against
the savages of the wilderness. The
duty of self-protection fell on all
men equally, and in order that the
community might know the num-
Der of its defenders, muster day
was held each year, when all able
bodied male citizens assembled, I'M
der arms, to take inventory of their
military strength, says A. ]. Olson,
president of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau.
The year 1888 finds American
farmers again surrounded with en-
emies, even more elusive than the
painted redmen. And again Ameri-
can farmers find it necessary to
hold muster day, in order that
they may take stock of their
strength, and build up their defense
for renewed attacks on the condi-
lions that confront them. The 1888
Muster Day is to be held at the

Mr.. Malloy is head of the r. ]

he is unable to give farming the
attention it demands.

days one had better concentrate on
the business he knows best.
This is said to be one of the most
completely equipped farms in the
county. Four years ago Mr.. Malloy
installed a full line of new John
Deere machinery, built around both
horses and tractors.
He assembled carefully select.
ed Holstein herd numbering about
70 head. Each year he has run sew
eral hundred ewes making his farm
an outstanding farm in this section
of the county.
Doubtless one Of the largest
crowds that ever attended sale in
