Yes. without question, the writer
who says that stuttering is catching is
correct. Opik P. Read.
As to stammering orstuttering, some
times it originates in bad habit or or-
i grtnfc disease of the tongue, when the
| frenum Is not cut, but usually It is a
1 mental matter. When mental Ideas
anticipate word* single letters are
stammered out. In singing, the mind
is harnessed by notes, and then, a con
firmed stutterer rarely has any Hngua-
llstic trouble. The remedy for stut
tering is reading and pronouncing
slowly and distinctly In cases where
there is no organic lesion: Think of a

“.What a bright-eyeU man,” said a
reporter who leaned against the
cashier’s desk of a restaurant near the
public building? One day, last week.

“Bright-eyed ? Yes,’- said the
cashier: “he’s a cofleedruukard.”
“What’sa coffee drunkard!”
“A man who comes in here four
times in two hours, as that man has
done this morning anti does every
morning, and takes a half pint of
coffee every time, is a coffee drunkard.
Bright eyes: Well, I should say so.
That man’s condition all the time is
the same as that of a man who in get

nerves are up Tu ‘G,’ liis muscles are
all a quiver, and his mental vision
abnormally clear. He Is'Irving at a

“Why does he do it?”
' “Has to. Must have a brace. JJsed
to drink rum. Had to quit that, and
now does worse. He never sleeps,
they tell me.”
