Many an honest heart beats a ragged shirt, is an old saying, and people have been known to starve to death rather than steal. Pride has likewise prevented thou- a i want from seeking aim-. The newspapers of the have carried a i stories about cases of this kind. People have been found dean from starvation in the midst of plenty. We know of a case in Lynn, where a man preferred death to disgrace.

He was caught stealing milk, was starving. In desperation, he stole a bottle of i from a doorstep. As luck would have it, he was caught by the police. He could not stand the disgrace of facing a on the charge of being a thief. He i himself.

It is a sad story, one of the ironies of fate. The facts in the case show the i i plight a aged human derelict who was too proud to beg and too honest to steal and only did the latter to relieve his suffering, but paid for his act with self-destruction to avoid disgrace of being branded a felon. Joe Stanton, 70, was too proud to ask charity and he preferred death to disgrace, so they found his body in the Saugus River near Lynn.

Lago Galdston PASSING EXAMINATIONS One ordinarily does not think of school examinations, as representing a medical problem, and yet Dr. Alan Monerieff has published an nteresting and novel contribution on the treatment of disorders associated with exarniriations. To the average student, whether In ths primary, secondary or collegiate grades, an examination is an event of significance, It is little wonder then that many students suffer a variety physical embarrassments during an examination varying in nature from the too rapid beating of the heart to diarrhoea and vomiting. Rome students cram their examinations--with so little regard for their physical well being that when they appear for the ordeal they are literally exhausted. Among the older students there prevails the general Impression that coffee has some special virtue as a preparative for examinations, and so It is consumed in large quantities.

CafTein Is a stimulant and at fects the higher centers of the brain, in such a way as to facilitate association ot ideas. To the student who is "slow in getting started" a small amount of coffee may prove beneficial. One's head usually works better on a lightly filled, not empty, stomach. Sugars and starches may be Indulged in freely during the examination period. At times though, it will be found that the student's home conditions contribute to the development ot his phobia.

The parents may be unsympathetic regarding his studies or may place too great a value on his ma.rks.

It the best illustration that has ever come to cur attention worth repeating. Two men were leaking at a bottle of liquor. The optimist "It Is luif full." The pessimist said.

''No, you are wrong. It Is half empty." Many people who are doing a lot of talking about hard times right now are taking the viewpoint of the passimisi who could see the bottle as being halt empty instead ot half full. Both men were right about the bottle or liquor. It was only the different way in which they looked on ths situation. We prefer the optvnlstlc viewpoint.
