Some Grateful Lines
By WILUAM P. KIIU5.
. I lovo to read of .heroes who were heroing long ago,
; ' For history londs it glamour to the mention of their deads
' When men like Richard Coeur d'Lion went out to BWat the foe;
ti And makes us think that just such men are what the country needs.
I love to think how Hector fought before the walls of Troy,
And how the great Marc Antony became a woman's tby.
I worship Julius Caesar, nnd I'm strong for old Ulysses,
;Who' flirted with the Sirens when he Bhould have Joined his missus. '
But I'm very, very grateful,
, ' . ' ' When my appetite I curb,
That I needn't cat a plateful
. Of seme rank Egyptian herb;
, ' - And I'm glad I take a Pullman
, ., .When I traVel o'er the land,
For the noble old Crusaders
. . Had to hoof it thrpugh the sand.
'' Our names will ne'er be written large for future folk to see, '
For carving warriors with a sword has somohow ceased to be.
, For us no bugle will resound, no war cry rend the air;
We11 sit At no Round Table, save, perhaps, to fill two pair;
But we'vo got cafes to eat in, and we've got electric fans;
- We do not drink from leaky gourds, we do not eat from pans.
( And bo I9ftenfigu?e, as I crank, my big red car,

Scientific Explanation of Nagging .
is That It is the Effort of the Brain
to Relieve Itself Through the
Tongue of a Cause of Irritation
By DOUOTUY DIX.
The why of the nagger has just been
scientifically ascertained.
Most bf us Who suffer from this af
fliction have been of the opinion that It
Is Just purs and
unadulterated cuss-
edness that makes
nagger nag. A
learned psychblo-
gist says that, this
la a mistake, and
that nagging Is
brain toh, and
that a person suf
fering from this
complaint tries tb
1 1 v t it by
scratphlng with the
tongue, and, as it
is Impossible to
scratch the brain
ltiolf, ha or she
tries to allay the
Irritation by
oratohlng the
nearest Individual.
"The brain." Bays this scientist, "can
be Irritated Just th same as the skin
by body poisons due to fatigue, worry
and Illness. Nagging Is the effort to re
lieve the subconscious itching of brain
nerves and cells. It more often ocoiirs
In women thsn Jn men. tfot on account
of an Inferior nature or lesser control
over temper, but because woman Is mors
sensitive to brain irritation, has fewer
opportunities to relieve her feelings, and
impulses.
To return to the analogy of A nagging
skin. If you continue to gtyo way to It,
to scratch It and tear It, a Sore soon ap
pears and finally Ulcers, The skin nag
ginc is fastened uport you and you are
unfit for work or companionship. If In
stead of scratching and slappns back at
the akin you discover th cause of the
Irritation and get rid of it, the nagging
ceases and tha skin returns to A healthy
state.
So with ths brain. Yod can nag Until
you make sore spots, psychologically
speaking, in ths brain stuff.
"Then y6U become the chronic' nagger.
The remedy for this Is to quit scratching
the brain by means of Saying hateful
things to those about you and to find out
what causes the brain Irritation and re
lleve that. This can often be dons by
simple medical treatment, or by change of
scene or some slight diversion, even
walk in tho opin air,"
This scientific theory of nagging each
of us can conform from our own experi
ence. Probably there la no one whb does
not have It known what it Is tn have
flashed put. in soma moment of physical
exhaustion, a bitter speech that ha Or
she would have given worlds to have re
called the next Instant, or who does not
experience the temptation it is to harp
on old grievances when one Is half sick
and nervous and unstrung.
Nagging Is at the bottom of almost all
domestlo misery. It breaks up far more
home than drink or Infidelity. A woman
can, and does, forgive the husband who
looks too often upon the flowing bowl If
he is pleasant and agreeable at home In
the times between his Sprees. A wife Is also
conveniently blind to her husband's side'
stepping from the Straight and narrow
path, If In his own domestlo circle he is
courteous, gallant and appreciative. Like
wise a man will pot up with a deal of
bad housekeeping and pay extravagant
bills without a murmur so long as hi
wlfs Is amiable, and good humored, and
ooesn't try to henpeck him,
Out the woman Who comes to hate Ker
husband is she who Is married to the
man who Is chief kndeker In the Amalga
mated lummtr Wlelderj' unoon, and
Who finds fault with everything that She
does, or doesn't do. The woman who
kills her husband's love, and brings him
to tha plaos where he feels that he is en
tering a prison when ho puts his key In
his pwp front door, is ths perpetual
grouch, who frets and whines, and com
plains because she can't have this, and
she can't do that, and' her husband does
do this, and hs doesn't do, that- Love
will stand everything but. nagging. When
It encounter that it Just turns up Its
toei and dies.
Heretofore there has seemed to bs no
oure for this most common and- deadly
enemy of. domestic happiness, but the dis
covery of this scientist that nagging l
really a symptom of a brain. disorder that
can be relieved, brings a message of .hope
to those afflicted with a, nagging husband
or wlf.
Therefore, madam, If' you have a hus
band who begins finding fault before h
has hUng up hs hat when he comos
home pf an evening, don't weep and look
upon yourself as a martyr,
Just reflect that hs Is suffering from
brain Itch, and that-ther btftt f&nedy ibV
that is fresh air and' exercise and amuse
ment. Don't try to keep hlrn at horhf.
Urge him to go out. to tha base ball gam
Of an atfernoon, to play golf, or to go td
the olub ag soon as dinner Is over.
In that way his brain cells will get th
stimulation they need, and h will take
out In yelling bitter advice to the um
plro, or swatting a ball, or fighting with
a fsllow club member over the tariff, the
Irritation that he would otherwise have
vented upon you and the children, and
the chances are that he will coma home
In a mild and paotfla humor. Relieve me,
golf has been the salvation of many n
home, and tha club la a conservator, in
stead of a destroyer of family Ute.
And, sir. if you are one of the unlucky
ones who drew a. nagging wife in the
marrlags lottery, try making her over

Consider that her poor brain is itching
