Writer Says Anyone Can Afford any
thing If He Thinks He Can.
We are all of us inclined to feel
that certain sum spent for a certain
thing Is extravaganza, while the same
sum expended for something else IS
not undue extravaganza on the part
of an almost pauper.
Well, here is Mecanas, Jr., spends
81 for a dinner with wine and gets
so befuddled at it that next day he
is not sure whether he dined at all,
but he has a dim recollection that
some lobster disagreed with him,
writes Charles Battell LOOMS in the
Smart Set
How wildly extravagant to spend so
large sum and get so little for it!
No man but millionaire would ever
do such thing.
Still, I'm not sure that we won't
find that Jack M. Pekunios, who is
glad to make a thousand dollars a
year by the sale of his landscapes, has
spent just the same amount and got
as little for it.
He had years lease of his house.
for which he paid $25 a month, and
on the LIST of June he left it and went
down to Provincetown to paint for
three months But his rent for his
unused house went on just the same.
He handed out SIS for not even a din
ner with wine He didn't try to sub
let It, Said it would be too much
bother.
Old Alexander @. Cresus has the
notion that he hasn't much time for
pleasure, so he and his wife-who is
deaf-go to the opera just once in a
season, and it's costs them $40.
Little Eleanor Shaminart - whose
name bellies her, for she is genuine
clear through-has lots of time in the
evenings, but she hasn't much money.
Yet she spends just as much on the
opera as CrGsus does; only she gets
50-cent seats and goes twenty times.
Any one can afford anything if he
thinks he can.

Intermittent Limping.
This is disease, or rather symp
tom, occurring IN man, which is some
times compared to spring-halt in
horses 1t begins gradually with weak
ness, stiffness and pains in one or both
legs. sometimes shooting from hip to
ankle
If a determined effort is made tc
continue using the affected limb, all
these symptoms grow persistently
more severe, the leg may become quite
rigid, with stretched tendons, as II
it were on the rack. The distinctive
symptom, however, Is that all these
symptoms cease when the leg Is al.
lowed to rest. The limping is the
direct result of the weakness and stiff.
ness and pain. When these subside as
the result of rest, which they always
seem to do, then for a time there Is
no limp, and hence the name Inter
mittent limping."
When the symptoms are at the1l
height there is a great deal of conges
ton, the veins are distended with
blood, the leg, and especially the foot
looks dark, and there may be an out
break of little red spots on the skin.
In conjunction with these symptoms
Is found another which is very signifi
cant. No pulse can be felt in the
back artery Of the foot, showing thai
the arterial circulation is at fault. I'm
less properly treated, this trouble may
90 on to very disagreeable and finally
to grave results A condition of mus
cular atrophy may set in, with con
tinuous pain in spite of rest, and IN
advanced stages dry gangrene may de
velop, which calls for surgical inter
vention.
This trouble is believed to be caused
by an insufficient supply of blood tt
the affected part. 1t is thought thai
the reason why the symptoms are mo-
noticed, or rather are not present, dur
ing rest, is that then the blood-supply
is sufficient for the small demand, but
that as soon as the sufferer demands
from his limb any work at all 1t re
quires more nourishment.
This disease may persist for years
and the treatment is that of meeting
the symptoms as they arise. Com
plete rest in the earlier stages Is no
advisable, but the amount of exercis'
should be very strictly controlled
