EOUGHLT speaking, there are
two kinds of neurasthenia.
One of theee might be called
true neurasthenia, and is taken ser
iously by the medical profession.
Ths othsr Is a more or less fslss
neurasthenia, and Is not taken ser
iously. Neurasthenia Is a very common
affection, and may bs defined as a
stats of chronlo nervous fatigue,
the symptoms being due to the ex
haustion of ths nsrvous system.
In true neurasthenia, which gen
erally oocurs In males between the
ages of twenty and fifty, there Is
apt to be a hereditary strain, the
individual, being derived from stock
of essentially deficient stamina.
Ths earlier It occurs the mors likely
the hereditary weakness.
Confining occupations, eloss at
tention tofe.dstatl. anxiety, great
concentration, and assumption of
responsibilities too heavy for the
Individual to 'bear,- predispose to
neurasthenia.
Emotional. excitability favors the
development of neurasthenia. A

The affection Is
very apt to develop In those pre
disposed, sfter Influents.
The true neurasthenic suffers
from soms or all of the following
symptoms: Depression of spirits.
Inability to concentrate the mind,
insomnia, vertigo, headache, grouch
lness, introspection, various fears
(as of crowds, closed spaces, dark
ness, etc), pain in the back, spots
of tenderness along the spine,
weakneee of the extremities, marked
prostration aftsr moderate exertion,
numbness and tingling sensations
and neuralgic pains In various parts
of ths body, loss of sppetlte, coated
tongue, indigestion, palpitation, dis
tress In the region of the heart,
cold extremities and pulsating sen
sations, in the upper abdomen.
We have given a picture of a
genuine neurasthenic: He Is really
111. and hie symptoms are real. He
requires as close sttentlon and skil
ful treatment as a ease of typhoid .
fever.
But what about the false neuras
thenic? The false neurasthenia is an ut
terly selfish individual' with a mor
bid Imagination, a eravlng for
maudlin aympathy, a dash of hys
tsrla, a tendency to poee, a worth
less economto status although usu
ally prosperous (not a real pro

"and boundleea energy.

Sweetheart:
We have a new friend, beloved. In
the "Cowbell house." Our erst
while neighbor of that mannlon
folded her wings like the Arab, and
as silently stole away. We can hear
of no leavetaking or good-by that
she left behind, her. And now the
house is decupled by an old, old
couple. Mother tells me they are
not married, but are brother and
sister! Ami'they live together In
sweet companionship. The old lady
embodies the eternal spirit of
motherhood as se broods over the
old men, her brother. He is one of
God's "Innocent Ones" mildly in
sane, and HKe-.a child, but he harms
no one and s!t,ln the carden with
the flowers, -and talks to the wind
and the Soft 'clouds, and beguiles
the children golpg to school with
his sweet smile, snd a pocket al
ways full of candy. Sometimes he
disappears into the house for ten
or fifteen minutes, and it is then
that he is supposed to be haying a

thoughtfulness. and a good heart I
have been to the gate today and
talked with him. We call him
Uncle Jerry. And I came away feel
ing that his worldly Innocence veils
heavenly secrets with divine duplic
ity. He was sitting In the sun wait
ing patiently for the children to
come from school. In his hand was
the large pasteboard letter "T"
the new insignia of the thrift
stamps. Soberly he fingered It. and
then regarded me. "T stsnds for
tack thsfs what my teacher used
to say. Tscks you drive, snd I've
got a little hammer. Mother gave
It to me long ago." And he smiled
sweetly. "Would you like to see It?
Tou take a tsck and a little ham
mer, and the tsck holds fast, snd
doesn't fall, and Is very strong.
"Strange there should be such a
big T for a little tack. Mother
Is dead and I can't ask her. Sister
says "V stands for thrift, but she
don't know. Mother knew, but nhe
has gone, And I've got my little
hammer, and It holds faet Shall 1

from school, and with sublime In

me. and greeted them with loving
smiles.
Beloved. I looked st th T" In
our window whsn 1 came home.
Thrift It surely mains,'.. but why
not tsck also? May there not be
meaning In Uncle Jerry's wisdom?
With thoussnds and millions of

little hammers, would It not be
possible to nsll up and hold fsst all
the Kaisers In the world? I am go

from now on as a tsck, and I'm go

coffin of autocracy. We all have
