Varied Classes of People Wanted
At Mental Hygiene Clinics

"All the worlds queer but me and
thee, and even thee's a little queer, is
an old popular saying which scientific
investigation proves true. The doctors
who have made careful study of peo-
pies minds find that insane people
and normal people have many reac-
tions which are very similar, but inthe
insane persons the reactions, especi-
ally the emotional reactions, have run
beyond control to the point where the
individuals usefulness in the commun-
ity is harmed, and he may even be
dangerous, according to DR.. E. c.
Peck, Health Officer.
"The most common class of patients
brought to the mental hygiene clinic is

such children have been examined so
far at the clinics and advice given as
to how their lives could be made hap

children and adults, whose lives could
be made happier by a frank discussion
of their troubles and worries with the
doctors who are trained to advise in
such cases. People who have fears or
worries or unpleasant habits which
they find difficult to control often are
given a great deal of help by frank
but confidential discussion with such
specialists.
Parents whose children are difficult

SAMSON

Samson was a child of promise, and
one of the fortunate little ones to be
welcomed upon his arrival at Zorah.
His mother was barren, a condition
greatly deplored in Israel. One day
an angel appeared unto the woman,
announcing that she should bear a
son, and warning her against the use
of wine, strong drink, or food cere-
monially unclean. The promised son
was to be Nazirite, no razor to come
upon his head; moreover he was des-
tined to begin to deliver Israel from
an oppression of forty years at the
hands of the Philistines.
When Manoah's wife told her hus-
band of the angels visit, he prayed
that the visitor might come again, and
impart fu1 Their instruction for the pro-
per rearing of the child. This prayer
was granted, but the instructions were
the same as those given in the first
place to the woman-namely, to alb
stain totally from wine, alcoholic
drinks, and ceremonially unclean food.
Admiral Hobson, the hero of San
tiago, tells of an experiment with
mother dogs which throws much light
upon the reason for the command of
total abstinence given to Manoah's
wife. A number of mother dogs were
given daily with their food portion
of alcohol, while like number of the
mother dogs were given food without
alcohol. When the puppies were born,
81 percent of those born of alcoholic
mothers were imperfect, that is, had
some physical defect such as lop ears
or club feet. While in the care of the
non-alcoholic mothers, 81 percent of
the puppies were normal.
If alcohol can cause such physical
imperfections in dogs, what may not
it's effect be upon man with his infin-
itely more highly developed nervous
system and physical organism?
God wanted Samson to be a perfect
man in every sense of the word, and
saw to it that he received the best
chance to be well born. What Sam
son did with his splendid physical
equipment was his own responsibility.
Later we shall see how ungrateful he
was for the blessing of a good body,

VEGETABLE GARDEN PLAN
SHOULD BE MADE AT ONCE
Many Things To Be Taken Care
of Before Actual Planting

Although the temperature may be
down to freezing and the ground still
covered with snow, spring will soon be
here and those who are thinking of
having a vegetable garden this year
should begin making plans at once,
if they have not already done so. There
are many things to be bought and ar
ranged for before the actual time of
planting arrives.
Fertile Soil Needed
For example, there is the question
of location of the garden and the type
of soil. Careful thought should be
given to this factor before actual work
begins and it should be remembered
that most vegetables require fertile
soil and also a we'll drained one. In
addition, there must be an application
of manure or commercial fertilizer to
keep the soil in proper condition.
Then, there is a question of seeds,
and and intelligent choice of the most
suitable varieties may make the diff
ference between highly satisfactory
and Indifferent returns. It costs no
more to produce the best varieties
than it does the ordinary. but the re-
suits make it well worth the difference.
Succession Of Crops
A number of the spring vegetables
mature early enough that a success
sion of crops may be enjoyed. For ex-
ample, paintings Of string beans may
be made at intervals of ten days or
two weeks, thus making it possible to
have this vegetable over longer per-
iod
In the case of cabbage, tomatoes,
peppers or elephants, the young plants
must be transplanted from hotbed to
garden, and care should be taken to
see that the transplanting is done as
soon as conditions are favorable. This
means that the seed should be planted
in the hotbed, or in an indoors box,
from six to eight weeks before plants
are to go into the garden. When only
a few plants are needed, it may be less
expensive and bothersome to purchase
them outright.
The Extension Service, University
of Maryland, at College Park, has a
bulletin, number 70, on "The Small
Vegetable Garden" The bulletin will
be sent free of charge to anyone de-
string it.
