No, It was case of worry caused by
gossip-and this would lead me into
another subject, but am afraid / might
say some things which would not look
@shygienic' in print if should eandidly
express myself upon the subject of gos-
sip But instead l will only commend
TO you four things to avoid. For Il years
I have tried to make it rule of my
life to avoid eynicism, criticism, gossip
and doubt. Just think what this
means; and if you try for one month,
real hard, to avoid these four things, you
will remove the cause for worry from
many suffering one, SO many are sensi-
tive TO criticism. What will people
say!a is the bane Of their existence.
Cynical remarks or thoughts react upon
the author and sours and embitters his
life. Gossip is, as rule, Of cynical or
criticising nature, sometimes arising
from doubt, and sometimes originating
in malicious lies. In either case, how
much better and happier this world
saved, If there were no cynicism, eriti-
eisn, gossip, or doubt about the good
qualities of the accused.
One of the best friends I ever had
was an old gentleman who printed this
motto upon all of his business letters:
1--WE should be careful how we Judge
others; it is SO difficult to understand
all of the circumstances" Can't you,
my dear Home Health Club readers,
adopt this motto, and then give .
months trial to avoiding the four evils.
For I am certain that at the end of the
month yosl will be so much happier, and,
OF necessity, healthier, that you will find
no cause in the world for worry, and you
will never again allow it to infringe upon
your peace, health and happiness.

February is a month Of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
attitudes, February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 90 degrees
in a single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but SO as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in fee BILE health
should take brisk dry-towel-rub every
morning.
Diet
The diet should be generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe-rn.na.
When unavoidab1y exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precaufion.
When seized with chill. or even
slight ehilliness, a dose Of Peruna should
be taken at once.

Prof. Patton deplored the fact that
so many married women are in the

in regard to TIE support of their wives
is carried on much further it will re-
suit in a deterioration of the race and
real danger to society.

Good Thunder. DR.. David H. Reeder,
La Porte, Ind.-Dear Sir: Would you
have space in your department. to pub
lish the standard weights for the diff
ferent heights of women? I have now
reduced my weight to one hundred and
fifty pounds. My height is five feet four
inches and as you no doubt remember
my weight was 200 when wrote to you
about a year ago. am feeling much
better in every way and wish to thank
you for your instructions concerning my
diet which has removed the nnsightly
fat while increasing my strength.
Yours very truly, Rec. No. 1924.
Fat in proper amount is a reserve
force, a store of energy, a magazine of
power, to be drawn upon as a resource
in cases of emergency. An excess of fat,
of course, becomes a clog and an annoy
ance, and may itself even become con-
dition of disease; but normal amount
of it is condition essential to health
The following table represents the
normal average weight of men ard Won-
en- at different heights.

TELEPHONE CARRIES
SERMON TO THE DEAF
Chicago Woman Listens to the Voice
of Her Son Preaching From
the Pulpit
Rv Associated Press

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE first SER
mon by telephone ever preached in
Chicago has enabled Mrs. Mary F. De
Blois. who Is quite deaf, to follow
every word of the first sermon she has
heard in twenty-five years.
The sermon was preached by her
son, the Rev. Austin K. Du Blois, at
the First Baptist church. Although he
was ordained seven years ago, Mrs. De
Blois never had heard her sons voice
from the pulpit and her dearest wish
was gratified.
On the reading desk in front of the
pastor stood the transmitter in an in
conspicuous oblong box. The, pastor
spoke in his usual tones. He did not
at all times occupy a position in front
of the reading desk, but wherever he
stood in the pulpit his voice was caught
by the transmter.
The apparatus Is built on the general
principle of any other telephone, but is
so constructed that it concentrates the
voice of the speaker and magnifies it,,
