STIMULA TE THE HEART
WITH JO Y, ENTHUSIASM
Fatigue and a Flagging Heart Usually Go Together,
Says Authority, Telling How Pleasurable Thoughts
Will Bring a Feeling of Well-Being.
By ROYAL 8. COPELAND, M.D.
United States Senator from New York. f
former Commissioner of Health, Heto York City.
IN THESE days there is much dispute over the use of stimulant*.
There is marked difference of opinion regarding them.
Why does a doctor ever prescribe a stimulant? It is to give
the whip to a flagging heart. It matters not what drug is given.
faR.COPe.LANO
wnetner it is strycanine, aiconoi, aromatic spirit*
or something else. The purpose is to excite the
heart to more energetic action.
But there are other ways to stimulate the
heart than by the giving of drugs. Happiness,
joy, enthusiasm, excitement, pleasurable emo
tions—all of these are almost as stimulating as
wine or powerful drugs.
Once when President Monroe was an old
man he had occasion to take part in a social
function given in his honor. Much praise was
given him, of course. When some one suggested
he must be tired out, he replied: “A little flat
tery will support a man through a great fatigue.”
That was a gracious and tactful reply, but
it is more than this. It is the foundation of a
great psychological and physiological truth.
When the heart flags then comes fatigue.
A tired feeling and ds<weak heart are frequently
*880 cxa tea. it oiten nappe ns tnat tne greater uie laugue, vn« weaker
the pulse.
If a tired person, with flagging heart and week pulse, ie given
en appropriate dose of a heart stimulant, there is almost immediate
response. The pulsations grow,
stronger and the blood Is sent in
-more powerful streams to every part
«f the body and brain.
What happens then? The feeling
, ef fatigue grows less and, for the
i time, it may disappear entirely.
'There develops a sens? of physical
well-being.
But t< accomplish this it is not j
j necessary to give wine or a drug, be- >
.cause, as Mr Monroe so aptly said, j
**a little flatter' will support a man I
I through a great fatigue.” The !
pleasing words of a kindly tongue i
may excite the heart, set the pulse j
to beating and remove the symptoms1
Of fatigue I
The mind has a recognized con-.
tro' over the bodily functions. It is
no* • mysterious matter either.
Mind and brain are so interlocked
.Chat when the mind Is aroused the
. brain sends its message to every
! part cf the body, including the heart.
1 This Impulse may excite the heart to \
| fuller action, or it may abate and
. retard its movements,
i 7 would " have you get the im
I presalon drugs are never needed. In
i my opinion manj( a man at the
! brink of death has been revived and
i restored to health and vigor, by the
! use of a proper restorative. But each
1 ef ns is sure to be stimulsted and
! kept alert by pleasurable thoughts
f and amotions.

Rutheford Farmer*
Gain By Long Staple
Asheville Citizen.
Fifty farmers of Cool Spiings
township in Rutherford county, who
last spring brought 5,000 bushels o'
Coker No. * cotton seed, have Just
disposed of their crop at a premium
above current market prices.
Cotton experts have long preach
ed the gospel of the long-staple pro
duct. It has been shown that 67 per
cent of the mills in the country
need cotton with a staple of 15-Hths
to one and l-32nd inches in length.
The Cool Springs township growers
have averaged staple of one-inch
length with Coker No. 5 seed, and
have also produced a larger yield,
per acre.
Profit in any industry must de
pend upon the extent to which the
product supplies the demand. Axi
omatic as this principle is, it ac
ceptance in the cotton-growing in
dustry has been long delayed. Per
haps the recent demonstration of its
truth in Rutherford county will
give the movement new impetus.
THRILL GONE FROM LIFE
OF AIRPLANE TEST PILOT
St. Louis.—The constant thrill
which was once the life of the air
plane test pilot Is gone for "Red”
Harrigan, who takes up planes for
their first flight for the Ryan Air
craft corporation here.
Testing planes now, Harrigon
said, is more or less a routine mat
ter, and he has discarded use of
the parachute. It was far different
five or ten years ago when he test
ed planes for the navy.
“Once I had a new navy ship up
for a test hop, and without any
warning the motor supports broke
and the engine dropped out,” he
said. “Twice the wings of planes
have come off during tall spins, and
it used to be a common occurrence
to have the control wires break or
jam and the landing gear to break
or the motor cut out."
Careful ground inspection ar.d
i good workmanship. Harringan said,
have taken the risks out of test
flights and each airplane coming off
the production line is as much like
its predecessor as are automobiles.
The Electric Strawberry.
From a Paris News Report.
On one of the coldest afternoons
of last winter in Paris, the savants
of the French Academy of Sciences
assembled for a strawberry party.
Carefully packed In boxes, full, aro
matic and luscious, two dozen straw
berries were brought to the meet
ing by Mr. Mangin. president of the
academy.. The scientists found the
berries had all the flavor of a fruit
warmed by the sun and nurtured
by rain. Yet not one of the berries
ever had felt sunlight or had been
exposed to the touch of Nature.
They were grown in a Paris base
ment Light and heat came to them
only front two great revolving lamps
of 1,300 watts each. Beneath the
artificial light It had taken the
plants only 40 days, about one-half
the normal time, to mature and bear
fruit Members of* the academy de
clared the berries fit to ramc with
the best in flavor and quality Their
president, however, saUWt was im
probable his artificially grown ber
ries would compete with the garden
variety. His reason was explicit The
cost of growing by electricity nad
been about 45 lor each strawbtny.
INJURED 11TRIX
1CIR0LI1 GIRL
Will Ell MAIN
New York—Forgotten by a world
which read about her as first page
news a few months ago, broken in
body but undaunted in spirit, Viola
Gentry, who crashed last June in an
endurance flight attempt that cost
Jack Ashcraft his life, lies on a
charity cot in the Hospital for Rup
tured and Crippled, No. 321 East
42nd streed, insisting plucklly she
will fly again and still accomplish
some of the things she set out to
do in aviation. The doctors are
using every bit of their skill to
make her hopes come true.
••Oh, I feel Just fine,” she said
yesterday, wiggling muffled fingers
that protrude from the plaster cast
encasing her shattered right arm
and the upper half of her body.
•‘Tomorrow, they're going to let me
up in a wheel chair and I'll be
taxiing all over the hospital,
though I don’t know Just when I'm
going to take off!”
The girl who worked as a restau
rant cashier to get. money vith
which she might take flying les
sons waa destitute when she came
out of the Nassau Hospital a few
weeks ago and still admits to be
ing "pretty well broke,”
Shortly after her release from the
hospital the authorities at Roose
velt Field, at the suggestion of
newspaper men. held a benefit field
day for her, but, through a mis
understanding, she failed to show
up and the affair was something of
a failure. ^
"I came in here Saturday a week
ago,” she said yesterday, "and they
operated Wednesday. I had a tun
ny hunch I wasn’t going to wake up.
but it Just goes to show how wrong
a hunch can be. because here I am
and I feel a lot better than I have
since the crash.
"I’m doing fine and have nothing
to worry about. The person I really
feel sorry for is Jack Ashcraft’s
mother. 8he was a widow living
near Wichita, Kan., whose sole sup
port was her two sons. The other
one went the same way Jack did.”
Miss Gentry’s only near relative
is a sister, who lives at Martinsville.
Va. Following her discharge aa a
charity patient from the Nassau
Hospital, the crippled girl flyer went
to the home of Mrs. Elizabeth R
Ulbrieh, wife of her fiance, Bill
Ulrich, who was one of the crew ot
the plane refuelling the craft flown
by Miss Gentry and Ashcraft.

Much gum data was obtained b;
the academy from Captain Charles
Brower, "White Father” of the Eski

"White gum is considered a great
delicacy," Capt. Brower said, “the
turnover in this commodity is not
large, aa the natives go on shewing
it for days after the departure ot
the flavor. Fresh sticks are Added
occasionally, as the wealth of the
chewer permits, and In time the

"It la also common for a native
to sell his chew at the end of a few
