MENTAL DISORDERS.
In the Massachusetts Health Prim
er Dr. D. Gregg has a chapter on
mild mental diseases. In the classi
fication of mental troubles by the
Mental Hygiene society, this group
of disorders is ranked in importance
next to the Insanities.
I do not know but they are more
important than the insanities because
they affect so many more people. The
insane are comparatively harmless be
cause they are inactive—they are out
of things. We say that a case of
smallpox in a smallpox hospital is
harmless because it is hobbled. The
Insane are hobbled.
On the other hand, those who suf
fer from mild mental disorders are
not hobbled—they are right in the
middle of things. When, as the re
sult of their disorders, they are guilty
of poor judgment, when they make
wrong decisions, when they get into
jams or fall to measure up to re
quirements, a lot of harm results—a
lot of harm to themselves, their
families, their dependents, and even
society at large.
And what are the mild mental dis
orders which do so much hatm in the
world? They are such Hems as worry,
nniiety, fear, envy, jealousy, covet- i
ousnoss. rage, insomnia, and such. Dr. i
Gregg says that these involve the i
k emotions very much more than they ;
involve the intellect.
How many of us shield our intellec- j
ilia I processes front our emotions 10O ,
per cent?
And yet whenever we do wishful
thinking, worry thinking, fear think
i’ig. envy thinking, anger thinking—
in fact any kind of emotional thinking,
we not only destroy the accuracy of
the thinking, but wo make a path
toward these inner mental disorders.
The disorder may never develop, but
ihe path is there, and the most potent
i f these emotions that flow over Into
ihe intellectual domain is fear.
Dr. Gregg says fears of one sort and
another produce most of the cases of
irdld mental disorder. Work alone or
l>aln alone seldom if ever produce
mental disorder, but work plus worry,
pain plus worry, or sleeplessness plus
worry may result at times in mild ,
mental disorder.
It is not insomnia which docs so
much harm, for the tired brain cells
will rest in spite of everything. It
is emotions mixed with insomnia
which hurt. The individual lies
awake worrying because he cannot
sleep, or worrying for fear that he
cannot sleep—or while awake he is
living over past, unpleasant, painful
experiences or indulging in hates, en
vies. or other emotional storms.
Now all the members of this group
are bad mental habits. They can
he prevented by proper attention to
menial habits beginning in childhood.
Many of them can be cured by the
cultivation of good mental habits.
Have Them Quarantined.
Anonymous writes: "My neighbor's
little boy has had scarlet fever for
two weeks, and a doctor is taking
i are of him, yet they have no sign
on the door. This is the second case
in our block.
‘The father goes to work every
morning and comes in contact with
working men who mostly have fam
ilies of their own. The mother went
to another city to visit her mother,
using train service. She also goes to
the neighborhood stores.
Is not the doctor at fault?
Is there any way to remedy this
without getting my name implicated?"
REPLY.
Send ■ complaint to the health de
partment. Give the name and ad
accurately. You are not re

cis«* W%o you are.
Symptoms of Gallstones.
Jlrs. F. L. writes: “J. what are
the symptoms of gallstones?
2. Can they be cured without an
operation?
REPLY.
1. Attacks in Indigestion, with ex
cessive belching. Such attacks are
very apt to appear at night. Attacks
of violent cutting pain in the pit of
the stomach. These pain attacks are
often followed by jaundice.
2. The only way to remove gall
stones is hy operation.
Worms Trouble Him.
A sufferer writes: “I am a man 50
years old and have been suffering
with worms in the rectum. Sorpe
limes 1 am unable to. sleep. Have
taken salt water enemas, but only
get temporary relief. Can you advise
what to do and best time to take yotir
remedies. » '
REPLY.
\ou might use infusion of Quassia
instead of salt solution. It'can be
bought at the drug store. Inject with
it twice a week (separate days) for
three weeks. Before injecting, clean
the bowel by ordinary enema.
Go Ahead and Marry.
M. K. writes: “Where Ole respective
grandmothers of two parties are half
sisters, would it be unwise for these
two people to marry? Do you think
there is danger of defects in their
children ? .
REPLY.
No.

Common Sense
Determination and Energy Win.
Isn't It true that you do not put
enough force, energy, ginger, spirit
and snap into what you do?
Isn't it true that you do not wish
to exert yourself sufficiently t< do as
well as you are capable of doing?
You would rather go along in an
easy, comfortable manner than to
concentrate on each effort to bring
about co-ordination of your mental
and physical power.
A losing football team often be
comes a winner because the players
have been instilled with the deter
mine, ion to win at all odds.
Half-hearted effort in no matter
howr good an athlete, will not make
him a winner Against determined men
who may have less natufal ability'.
And so it goes through every phase
of life.
It is determination to win which
comes out ahead.
It is not an easy thing, day' after
day, to give every ounce of physical
strength and mental power which you
have but it (s the only way to reach
the high pinnacle which actually lies
within your power If you would try.
Dormant ability is worthless.
A lackadaisical spirit is always a
loser.

Poultry shows, whether held as ex
elusive exhibits of poultry or in con
nectlon with a state, county or com

terest to the public, but likewise play
an important part in the development
of the poultry Industry. In order to
win at a poultry show, fowls must

Parents’ Problems
What course should he followed in
the case of a boy of S who is inclined
t« he quarrelsome?
Why is he quarrelsome? If he is a
nervous child, he probably is more
irritable because he Is in bad health.
Try more out-of-doors life and soli
tary play.
If he has a bad disposition, show
him how he loses what children care
for—popularity and the affection of
his playmates. Sometimes he will he
able to do much for himself if he
sees a good reason for doing it. Show
him how the boy who "bullies" others
Is looked upon. Also how the boy
with pleasant manners has won many
friends. Some boys get the idea that
manliness means “lording it" over
others. If he thinks this, show him
heroes whose manhood has been char
acterlzed by bravery and gentleness.
