DOUAl OLD BATTLEGROUND
City in Allies Path a Victim of Wars
Since Beginning of
History.
Directly east of the Vimy Ridge
and fifteen miles by rail northeast ot
Arrs lies Douai. The historic city in
the midst of the Douai plains, is the
subject of a war geography bulletin
issued by the National Geographic
society. The bulletin says:
"Bisected from north to south by
the canalized River Scarpe, the city
of Douai, which a the outbreak of
the war had a thriving population of
nearly 40,000, is situated on a marshy
plain. Its beginning goes back to
Gallo-Roman times, and during the
numerous conflicts which decimated
this section of Flanders in medieval
days it frequently suffered at the
hands of English, French, Spanish,
German and Flemish armies. One of
the most notable contes s at arms in
its history was the city's resistance
to Louis XI in 1478. an event long
celebrated every year1 by the Fete de
Oa, nt Halt a century alter tne
French king was discomfited before
its walls the place fell before the
Spaniards. In 1667 it finally bowed
I the forces ot f ranee under Louis
XV. Then came the Du of Marl
borough and Prince Eugene in 1710,
but the English regime was short
lived, for th-ec yes-.n later it became
definitely a part of the French domain
by the treaty of I'trejlic.
"Douai is celebrate in ecclesiastical
tory as a popular place of refuge
for Enjlish Roman Catholics, who
fled f.-om their native ind 'uring the
reign of Queen Eliza"). th. Cardinal
Allen established a scmin ry here,
where priests were educated for
England, and it was here also that
the text of the Old Testament was
epared and later combined with the
New Testament, previously translated
at Rhvhns, the whole being published'
at Douai in 1609 .s the tnglish
Roman Catholic Bible, and known to
day as th'! famous )ouai or Douays
ble.
"Before it tell a victim to the Teu
tonic advance upon Paris Douai was
a thriving industrial center. One of
its ist important establishment was
a large cannon factory.
"Among the famous es (ln the
world of art and letters who have
shed luster on Douai as their birth
place were Tea.. Bellegambe, the elder,

HEAT KEEPS HEART GOING
Organ Would Continue to Beat After
Death Under Certain
Conditions.
The question "Why does a man or
an animal diet" has been answered,
"Because the heart stops beating."
But any hunter or fisherman who has
drtssed his own catch can testify to
the fact that the heart does not stop
beating at the moment of th animal's
death. Oft;n it will continue to pul
sate rhythmically for several minutes
after it has been removed from the
carcass. The most recent answer to
the "Why?" of this is that the heart
muscles themselves possess the in
herent quality of contraction and will
contract, or beat just as soon or as
long, as the conditions of environment
are right. That is their business, and
they can no more refrain from doing
it under the right conditions than a
rose could help giving out its frag
rance. ; i
In recent experiments it has been
found that heat is the principal ele
ment necessary to the development of
the heart muscles--and their subse
quent action. It is possible to grow
the heart muscles of a warm-blooded
animal in an incubator. During this
growth a single muscle cell has been
observed to develop and wander away
from the mother cell and begin-to beat
of its own accord. Again, several in
dividual cells may attach themselves
to each other in a' colony and beat
rhythmically together as long as the
environment is favorable.
But let the tempe: ature of the incu
bator be materially reduced and the
action of the heart muscles becomes,
sluggish. Reduce the temperature
itill further, and gradually the rhyth
mic action ceases altogether. The
cells cease to perform their natural
function because their environment js
no longer right In other words, they
die because they are cold. According
to this theory, the heart muscles could
live on independently of a body, if
kept at the proper temperature for
their best development Popular Sci

WHY MEN AND WOMEN DRINK
One Reason Is That Alcohol Is Anti
dote for " atigue and Fooo.
Poisons. .
. Why do men and women drink?
The answer is that some men and
women drink because alcohol acts as a
temporary antidote against distressing
food poisons that come from overeat
ing und as a temporary stimulant
against alarming fatigue poisons that
result from lack of exercise. Thou
sands of men and women would lose
their craving for alcohol if they would
exercise more and eat-less.
The main rrasun for drinking, how
ever, lies deeper, it has to do with
the soul development and character
development of men and wome. who
drink (after the first start, which may
have come, alasl through social pres
sure) because they do not wish to
face the facts and necessities of exist
ence, because they dislike difficult
things. Drinkers are easy-going na
tures that cannot stand the gaff, spirit
ually soft handed, incapable of seizing
the nettle of life and boldly crushing
it They woul fain live in a genial,
comfortable world without work an
noyances or duty annoyances. And as
clear vision reveals hateful obligations
all about them, they prefer a muddled
vision.
Then, as years pass and conditions
become more unsatisfactory, they
drink to avoid seeing these conditions,
which are the consequences of their
own inefficiency and neglect And so
they swing along in a widening vicious
circle. The mori they drink the more
inefficient they become, and the more
inefficient they become the more they
drink. '
In many' cases, by inevitable pro
gression, drink leads to drugs, and.
men and women who start gayly with
cocktails and cordials end in the
abominable hells ot cocaine tortuie.
I know j theatrical woman, who
step by step, through the insidious
ways ot alcohol, morphine and co
caine, fell i':to utter degradation.
