POWER OF BRAIN A MYSTERY
Scientists New Assert That Size and
Shape Have Nothing Whatever
to Do With It.
Dr. E. Linden Melius of Johns
Hopkins university has announced
to all the world that your brain is
good because it is, that’s all. At least
that is the substance of his message
to the American Physiological soci
ety. Neither size nor convolutions
have anything to do with brain force.
Whether your brain is the size of a
crabapple, and as smooth, or the size
of a cauliflower, and as convoluted,
makes no difference in the mental
punch. That’s all due to some mys
terious force, undiscovered and un
analyzed.
It is somewhat trying to have all
the established notions kicked over
in this summary 7 fashion, but maybe
we can get used to this doctrine in
the new year. Anyhow, there is some
comfort in knowing that the rule-of
thumb method by which the world
has been judging brain power for
these many years —that of the qual
ity of the product—does not conflict
with the newest theory’ about the sub
ject. So that while the textbooks
may’ have to be rewritten, the prac
tice can go on as it is, and the size
of the pay check still be the outward
and visible sign and gauge of the
brain punch.
MANY USES FOR GLYCERINE
Almost Invaluable to the Housewife
for General Purposes to Which .
it May EJe Put.
Pure glycerine will cleanse a cut i
and cause it to heal quickly.
In washing clothes put three table
spoonfuls of glycerine in an ordi
nary tub of water where softness is
imperative. Try two tablespoonfuls
in the wash boiler when it is neces
sary to boil clothes.
Glycerine softens scrub water, is
good lor tlie hands, whitens wood.
A little glycerine rubbed with a
flannel on -hoes that are hard from
wetting soften- the lcai!i?r. which

JOE HILL HALL OPPOSES ELECTION
OF JOE BROWN.
Prominent Statesman, Formerly Staunch Brown Supporter, Now Gives
Convincing Reasons Why Brown Should Not
Be Elected.
Read what lie says:
• Joe Brown is in the race for the Senate, witli no apparent reason,
other than of opposition to the Wilson Administration.
"His utterances indicate that he is in opposition to the President. He
arraigned Senator Smith for failure to pas- laws to control disputes be
tween capital and labor. If this legislation is demanded by the country,
then President Wilson ami the Democratic Party are responsible for a
failure to enact it.
"Senator Smith has been, and is now, a strong supporter of President
1 Wilson and of the policies for which hr stands as the head of the Demo
cratic Party and of the Government of the country. IT IS HARDLY TO
BE EXPECTED, AND INDEED NO ONE BELIEVES, THAT GOV
ERNOR BROWN WOPLI) GIVE THE PRESI DENT AND HIS AD
MINISTRATION THE SAME HEARTY SUPPORT THAT SENATOR
SMITH HAS.
"This situation in the State should appeal strongly to every Democrat
who believes in the President and the policies and principles for which he
stands. He has shown himself not only to be the greatest Democrat, but
the greatest President, that the country has had since the days of Jefferson.
"There is in this State among a certain class of people, strong oppo
sition to President Wilson, personally, and to his principles and policies
of government. These people seem to be solidly supporting Governor
Brown. It is thereto!e not a light between Governor Brown and Senator
Smith, but is a fight between those who believe in the President and the
principles of the Democratic Party, and that faction of the State who are
opposed to him and his principles. The election of Governor Brown to
the United States Semite under existing conditions would be a slap in the
face to President Wilson. It would be regarded throughout the country
as an anti-Administration victory and a repudiation on the part of the
Democratic Party, or a majority ol the Democrats in Georgia, of Presi
dent Wilson’s Administration.
"I say this not in the interest of Senator Smith, for personally I
would not vote for him.
"1 am not influenced by any personal motive.
I have received no recognition at the hands of President Wilson or
the National Democratic Administration, nor do I expect to.
"As a Democrat, who strongly believes in the President, who admires
his course as a brave, honest, straightforward statesman, I teei it my duty
to give him and his administration my earnest support.
“JOSEPH H. HALL.’’
