the health bulletin ♦ 277 Blame It on the Liver Cheerfulness and a sluggish liver can't exist together in the same man. Although it might not perhaps be correct to say that the morbid states of mind have their origin in the liver, they are unquestionably, in many instances, accompanied and aggravated by derangement of this organ; and it is equally true that, independently of either hypochondriasis or melancholia, persons with "sluggish liver" are subject to fits of great depression of spirits and often groundless fears of impending danger which cease when the liver is restored to its normal state. Irritability of temper is another common symptom of a sluggish liver, and is sometimes the first indication of anything wrong. A man who has previously borne the crosses of life with equanimity and been amiable to those about him, gradually becomes disconcerted by trifles; his mind broods over them, and he makes all around him unhappy, and himself the most miserable of all. His relatives frequently put down his "grouch" to something mentally or morally wrong; but in nine cases out of ten it is to be traced to a sluggish liver. To overcome the diflBculty, stop eating for a day or two, take exercise (horseback riding is the best) and if necessary a few doses of a good saline laxative. If you are not cheerful in a few days consult your family physician.—Exchange, Learn and Live Lack of information is responsible for no end of the burdens humanity is called upon to bear. Infinitely more dangerous than a want of information, however, is the possession of a great fund of misinformation. Ignorance keeps people from doing what ought to be done. False information leads people to do what ought to be left undone. One of the great forces which keeps contagious diseases with us is the false notion that "children are better off to catch the various contagious diseases of childhood, and have them over with." There are people who, with the best intentions in the world, still willfully expose their children to contagious diseases. These people are, in large measure, responsible for keeping germ diseases alive. Disease germs are parasites which feed upon human blood and tissue. A few years starvation would drive them out of existence. So long as there is a neighbor who cultivates thistles, dandelions, etc., in his fields or lawn, it is well nigh impossible for the careful, industrious neighbor to secure the freedom he pays for by his own care. Parents have a right to insist that their children be not contaminated by a careless neighbor's children.—Collier's, The windowless room is a curse to civilization and should not be occupied by either man or beast. Through domestic science courses in public schools, we are laying the foundation for healthier people in the future—healthier because they will have learned how and what to eat. Some people object to change and reform as a matter of principle. That is why so many school pupils are still forced to use the old roller towel and bar soap instead of the individual paper towel and clean liquid soap. There are but three animals that habitually use tobacco—the rock-goat of Africa, whose stench is so insufferable that no other animal can approach it; the tobacco worm, whose intolerable visage gives every beholder a shudder; and the third animal—who is he?
