HOME HEALTH CLUB 30
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY Or. DAVID REEpER ~ - ;
LEANNEss, PART I.

Are you one Of those individuals
whose appearance can be described
by the term "six o'clock" or "skin-
n.y." Perhaps you are one of those
who used to have just about nor
NAL amount Of flesh, but recently it
seems that for some reason you are
unable to put any flesh on your
frame. You cannot ascribe it all to
heredity and habits. There are other
things that must be taken into con-
sideration.
Have you ever sat down and seri-
ously tried to understand why you
are so lean? Is your appetite nor
NAL? Do you eat and relish the same
foods that you used to when you had
about the right amount Of flesh?
Perhaps you have acquired some
chronic disease which prevents your
food from being properly assimilat-
ed. Perhaps your surroundings are
not conducive to cheerfulness or
calmness; in other words, you may
not have the faculty Of placing your
self in harmony with your surround
ings. Or is it possible, just barely
possible, that you are one Of those
individuals who reads a half dozen
or so Of the so-called "health" mag
azines," and have taken seriously
some Of their teachings regarding
foods, diet and living in general7 If
so, you are faddist, and you are
considering yourself too seriously;
you are experimenting with your
body and its functions and shouldn't
expect to be in a condition Of health.
/ am reminded of case of very
intelligent business man which came
under my observation. This gentle
man had read great deal Of the
popular stuff on diets and foods in
magazines and newspapers, and had
decided that not only his diet, but his
habits in general were radically
wrong, and he would proceed to
change them. In a short time he
became thin, cross, and Grabbed, and
had to have his food specially pre-
pared. He imagined that his stom-
ach could digest only certain kinds
Of foods and in certain amounts. Al
together, he imagined he was in a
| very bad way. He had a nephew iv-
ing in st. Louis Of whom he was very
fond. After having fully determined
that the gentleman's condition was
the result Of his imaginings, it was
arranged for him to visit his nephew
in St. Louis, the nephew having pre-
viously been warned of his uncle's
condition and told what would be ex-
pected Of him, so there would be no
hitch in the proceedings. The uncle
was induced to- forget about his
stomach and his food, and to eat
heartily Of any wholesome food that
was set before him. Result: in about
three weeks the uncle was feeling
tip-top and gaining in flesh. His trips
to his nephew are now regular and
not very far apart. :.
OF course, your case is not one Of
this kind, but there is really some
thing wrong with you, but WHAT
Nervous dyspepsia, auto-intoxica-
ton, mal-assimilation, wrong COM
binations Of foods, worry, unfavor-
liable environment and here is new

As the two men drew thus closer and
closer together, Stuart's bearing toward
Nan became guarded. and at last their
relations strained. She met his new at
titude with deep resentment and grow
ing wonder. Her frm conviction was
that he had become interested in an
other woman. From the first she had
suspected Harriet Woodman. and had
inevitably linked her coming with
Stuart's change Of feeling. -:
With the liberal use of money she
made the acquaintance Of a member
Of the chorus Of the grand opera com.
pany who agreed to report to her every
movement in Harriet's life.

usual quarreling Of the stars gave to
the young singer the opportunity of

in the millionaire's plans. Woodman
pleads guilty and Stuart, who has re-
signed as district attorney. defends him.

coming, and they are imperiled by the
icy sea.

CLUB NOTES.

CLUB NOTES.
Dear Doctor: My father, who is "a
years Of age is troubled with numb
ness and prickly sensations in his
hands, and has also lost the use Of
them to a great extent. Lately he
gets numb in his legs, which become
stiff and shaky when he walks. He
sleeps well and has a good appetite
and digestion. Miss I. w.
The symptoms you describe are,
considering your fathers age and
otherwise good health probably due
to a hardening and gradual oblitera-
ton Of the arteries, known as AFTER
io-Solerosis. This condition, which
is common in the aged, lessons the
blood supply Of the nerves and con-
sequently deprives them Of their nu-
triton. They become unable to per-
form their function and disturbances
of sensation and movement are the
result. He should eat very moderate
amounts Of easily digestible foods.
Constipation must be carefully
guarded against. Plenty Of pure
water must be taken at least 4 to 6
pints daily, in order to aid the var
ious excretory organs in getting rid
Of the waste matter Of the body. The
limbs should be systematically mas
saged several times daily for 10 min
utes at time to stimulate the cir
culation locally, and he. should take
a day or two Of complete rest in bed
at short intervals in order to allow
his heart to recuperate and force the
blood through the narrowed vessels.
In some cases electric vibrating has
been used to advantage.
Dear Doctor: I believe my health
would be as good as it could be if it
was not for the constipation which,
it seems, I am unable to vercome.
What do you think Of fasting as a
cure for constipation OF course, I
don't allow myself to get clogged up,
but in order to keep well, have to use
medicine or injection constantly. I
would thank you for some advice on
the subject. -. N. J. H.
This is subject which has been so
often discussed in these notes that
many, no doubt, are tired Of it, but it
is so common and responsible for so
many other forms Of sickness that
its Importance justifies frequent dis
cussion Of it. The proper treatment
is through dietic and hygienic regu-
lation. Eat easily digested and lax
alive articles Of food, such as the
coarser breads and vegetables
whole wheat, graham or bran
breads), turnips, chopped raw cab
bage, etc. Meat or eggs to be taken
not oftener than once day, the idea
being to have the food consist large
~ Of non-absorbable matter, which
mechanically stimulates the intestin-
al movements. Drink plenty Of wat
er, use fruits, butter and cream free
", practice the physical exercises
described in Vol. I. Of the Home
Health Club Series, and also study
carefully the articles, "Ten Minutes
for Health" and "a Personal Mat
ter" in the same book, also the one
on "Pure Blood and q Clear Skin"

A LAND WORTH KNOWING BETTER

Although the wonder of Argentinas growth in
all directions is by TO means new we have frequent
evidences of it that startle US Not long ago PhiIa-
Gelphia awoke to the fact that it was likely to be
Shouldered out of eleventh place among the world ;
cities by Buenos Aires in few years and began
to look around to find what was the matter
And now comes DR.. Naon, the Argentine min
iser with facts that show how strong is the cultural
development of his country along with the material
In recent address at Harvard he dwelt or the fact
that the University of Cordoba, in Argentina was
founded in 1913, twenty-hree years before Harvard
and is now one of the three Centers around which
the educational system of that republic is grouped
The University of Buenos Aires, another of these,
has 1900 students, considerably more than Harvard
Some measure of how little we know of our
South American neghborS can be gained from the
fact that even so cultured an audience as Dr. Naon
addressed at Cambridge was startled by what he
said. And we can also get from his remarks new
reasons why we ought TO know them better

NOW FOR SOME COMPETITION!

A German commission is coming to this country
to study American methods of training athletes for
the Olympic games. A few short seasons agone, the
Europeans wont to protest that American train
ing made at least semi-professionals of our young
men; that they specialized beyond the point of pro-
priey in purely amateur athletics. Then we pro-
duced the greatest al-round athlete that the games
had discovered, and there was some revision g
judgments.
Now at length the Germans have frankly con-
cluded that their next move is to stop criticsing and
learn how we do il.
That means some competition for the Germans
don't stop when they have half learned the trick If
they don't go back home and develop some new
tricks in preparation for the field it will be wonder
The commission ought to receive, as doubtless it
will, every assistance that American trainers and
authorities can give them. The sort of competition
that looks to making better physiques is to be en-
Couraged by all the world.

MYSTERY OF SULZER.

To those familiar with the inner workings of Po-
litlCal machinery the mystery of the Sulzer-Murphv
war was how rOughneck politicians dared to come
really to the last desperate Iife-anddeath grappIe
with governor of New York Never has that thing
been dared to the extreme without confusion AMI
disaster to those stalking their doubtful personal
strength against the enormous Official power of the
Empire State-if the governor had only measure
of right on his side!
So the puzzle not that Sulzer would fight, but
that anybody would fight back.
Now that much of the mystery is cleared Those
who defed the governor dared to do because they
knew of deeds by him which would make him
naked target against their savage weapons.
But think of the new mystery now suggested
Knowing what was in his own record knowing that
they knew it-how dared he start the fight? He did
not have to fight; for he could have barganed with
them, and hey would have kept those secrets buried
deep. They would have left him secure in his office
and clothed in his undeserved honor.
What a mystery of mysteries, then, that when

THE COST OF WAR.

Careful estimates of the cost of the Balkan wars
in life and money indicate that 100000 lives and
ST 900 in treasure may be accepted as fair
figure.
The second Balkan war is ended with treaty OF
peace. Both wars together lasted considerably less
than year, and the total populations of the coun-
tries engaged in them taking only European Turkey
was about 100000. The United States and Mex
leo have more than FIVE times that figure.
The Boer war cost Great Britain about billion
dollars. That is better comparable to the possibll-
ities of a campaign in Mexico The whole power of
Britain was tested to carry to success that conflict
against an insignificant people, living very long
way from the British base

THE USES OF WATER.

From the Internal Revenue Division comes re-
port that, though the number of saloons has de-
creased, the per capita consumption of malt and
spirituous liquors goes on increasing at rapid pace
Now comes from one of the great cities of the
country the compaint-and every observer will by
taking thought realize that it is we'll grounded-that
people are forced to drink soda at the fountains or
worse at the saloons, simply because there are no
places provided for getting water to drink
Hot-weather warnings are issued against both the
soda and the booze but who will start movement
TO reinstate water as beverage, by the simple
process of putting it where it can be had by who
ever wants it?
forgotten by the American public except at bathing
or boating time 1t is still one of the finest drinks
available.
The Washington times., 1913-08-11

Sulzer knew what they could do if he fought th'Ei
he yet did begin that fight!
Is it possible, therefore, that, guilty of what
wrongs he had done, and weak as he had been IN do
ing them, he was yet enough to shrink in horror
from the worse things they commanded him to do as
the price of sparng him: That, having gone aStray
as far he had gone, he would not 60 further,
though refusal meant political destruction and the
blasting of false reputation for virtue held up by
him before the public for almost thirty years with
quite egregious pride!
That would be a pitable last stand, though honor
were gone, against utter baseness. And to the poor
wretch who could make that last stand-who, though
starting bad, could resist ending worse-there might
be due more credit than to the man never having
been tempted to the lesser sin-and never having
fallen at all.
