THE SMlLE CURE
Funny Remedy For Those Suffering
From Nervous Breakdown.
A complete nervous wreck may be
too far gone to get i~iii_v benefit from
the “smile cure" that has brought. re-
lief to so iniiny, but it is worth trying
at any rate. _The very suggestion of ti
smile for curing frazzled nerves ought
io bring a hearty laugh from the pa-
tient, it seciiis so absurd. Most per-
sons wiio suffer from a nervous break-
down either fnke “the cure" at some
fashionable resort devoted to the pur-
pose or else bewiiii thc fate which
keeps theirpursc too "thin" for any
indulgence of that nature. The “smile
cure," however, is something even the
:ibjccily poor can offord, so none can
object to giving it a fiiir trial bi-cause
of economic reasons. Perhaps ii de-
scription of its merits had best be
given in the words of a certain college
professor who had experienced ii
iicrvous breakdown and on regiiinin ”
his lic-iiith was questioned by a friend
ns fc the remedy.
“l wont. to several of the nerve spe-
ciiili.=t=i," he said, “and I didn't. suc-
cecd in getting any lieip. Then by
chance I heiird of ri woman, not a
physician, who had studied nervous
diseases for years and had been very
successful in treating them. Some
friends persuaded me to go and see
ier.
“She began by making me iesm to
'smiic.' You sec I had pot down to
such depths flint I couidn't smile. It
seemed ns if I had lost all power over
the muscles of my fiice. They had
become set. They not only expressed
the depression I felt, but tiicy actual-
ly added to it. -
"I obeyed instructions. I went. home
rind for half nn lionr I stood before the
mirror and I praci.ic<>d smiling. Ai
first I liiid e. hurd time twistiiig my
mouth into a smile. in spite of my-
sicif, the muscles would sag. Then I
snw that the muscles were actually
fighting against me. I kept. on trying
and at the end of half nn hour I suc-
ceeded iii making ii pretty good imita-
tion of a smile. That exercise I con-
tinued scvcrai days till I had over-
come the rigidity of those facial mus-
cles and learned to control them.
After a lime I found I could smile iii-
inord- at will. \Vlicn I began to be dc-
pressed I would smile. Ai. the same
time I would resist the deriressing
thoughts. The coinbination of resist-
ing and the smiling would save ine
Ifroin failing into depression."
How He Broke the Calm.
The ship had lain becaimed in s
tropical sea for three days. Not ii
lirentli of air stirred the mirror-like
surface of the sea and the sails hung:
limp from the ynrds, like drapery
curved from marble.
The captain resolved to yvaif. no
longer for wind. Hn piped iid hands
on deck and requested. all passengers
to come forward.
“I must ask all of you,” he szild,
“to give me every match you liavc."
Wondcringly, all obeyed. The cup-
tnin collected every mutch on th.-
ship in this manner. Then lic threw
them all overboard-all but one.
Then he took his pipe from his
pocket, and filled it with tobacco. /is
crew and passengers looked brcuth-
iessiy on, he struck flint one m»iitch-
the only one aboard--iiiid attempted
to iiglif, his pipe with it.
Instiintly i1 furious gale swept over
the deck. It extinguished the match.
but fi1lcd‘the sails and the good ship
plungcd'merrily forward on her courw
again. The .=iil-rillce had been awful,
buf. successful.
` Man as a Machine.
It is a little stiirliing to lcnrn that
man is superior to all mechanisms.
In the best. nrtificini machines the
efficiency is only 14 per cent. Thi-
human machine gives a profit of
from 25 ‘to 30 per cent. on the fuel'
in other words, on the food con-
sumed. A msn nlwziys wastes energy

81 years old. The elecfcd savior of
Enlflish Qonservatism, if the world
wi let him save it, is Lord Hels-
lJ\11'Y. who will never see his 87th
birt~i1da.y again. No man under that
age was able to put, up half the fight
flint Halsbiiry showed and by dint of
an absolutely feline facility for dying
in the last ditch on any number of
occasions and appearing perfectly
fresh for the fray the next, mcming
he has made, himself the nnquestifm-
cd leiiderof his pnrfy. Nor is the
resurrection of the old msn confiiierl
to politics. Thomas Hardy is very
busy these days singing u. play and
the world knows Thonms Iiurdy is a
good 72 years old. Taking into con-
sideration all these facts the old msn
has come into his own again.
The past is most re_mnrkabl»e for its
lack of old men of deeds. The men
who were doing thingsrall dropped
off during the years that come be-
tween 50 and 60. In literaliire most,
men had done their best and perhaps
had died by that age. In politics
most leaders rose to their greatest
height, at 40 and 45 and died natural
or unnatural deaths before they reucli-
ed 60. None of the leaders of th
French revolution were old men o
even comfortably middle-aged. In
the days of the renaissance men per-
haps spread their activity over a
large number of years with a. few
exceptions, but even then they dicl
not trespass very far on the steep
ground that leads to the alilotted three
score and ten,
Taking ii look about un it is not
hard to find these wonderful old men
for whom the adjective old is far
from appropriate. There are many
of theni-John Bigeillow, Lord Strath-
conn., the Earl of Hiilsburly, Dr. B.
Weir Mitchell, Sir Thomas . Crosby,
the new lord mayor of London; Henry
Labouchere, former President Eliot.,
of Harvard; F. Hopkinson Smith and
numerous others, all over 70, who urn
still at their posts plyixigtlie shuttle
of lndustry.
Lord Strathcona, whose life has
been one of adventure and enterprise,
af. the age of 91 feels that he is still
too young to go into retirement. Ho
is mentally and physically as cleat
as a bell and thinks nothing of a
business trip across the Atlantic in
rough weather. Two years ago he
was thrown from his carriage and
rolled down an embankment for some
distance. As soon as he got on his
his feet and brushed himself he con-
tinued his journey-little the worse
for his shake-up. He expects to be
still in the harness when he reaches
the century mark.
Lord Hiilsbury, of England, the
creat Conservative, is young at B7.
He is unquestionably one of the
greatest. workers in the Conservative
party. Tho idec. of leaving thc field
io younger men has never entered his
lieiid.
John, Morley, of England, Qie
great. ]`.ibera.l, is 73 yienrs old, and if
lic is less violent in his efforts than
his antagonist in the lloiise of Lords,
the old llnlsbury, lio still promises

viinced old nge as the meat Conserva-
