medicine and surgery. In some cases
medicinal measures are taken, in
others glandular extracts are admin
istered and sometimes surgical Ope-
ration3 are necessary.
In most cases surgery is resorted
to as the surest method of ascer-
tanning conditions and dealing with
them radically Surgeons have rea-
soned parallel to their treatment of
other glandular troubles, and where
they have found that the hypophysis
was too active they have not hest
tated to remove a part of the gland
and thus restore the normal action
of this body This has been proven
true by several operations upon pa
tients, who have recovered from the
operation, and been improved in
every respect, the frightening of
the bones and taking on of adipose
tissue stopping at once.

How Make Yourself Agreeable and Welcome By Mrs Frank l

this world, and to be able to enter
tain ones self is a qualification to be
striven for when on a visit
Another point is to be careful in
ones room of all the belongings and
not to leave ones own things in dis
order. No matter how many serv-
ants there may be, it is right not to
require them to do too much, and if
a household is managed moderately
a guest should be even more con-
siderate.
The wise guest is never persuaded
to prolong visit beyond the time
originally stated. There is danger in
wearing out ones welcome. The
pleasant impression made during a
stay may be destroyed 1t is safe to
have a provisional engagement at
home, and to go. If there is some
very good reason to believe that
when urged to remain one may
really add to the pleasure of every
one, an exception may be made to
the rule, although it is not advisable,
and the final date fer leaving should
not be allowed to be unsettled. II is
best to be rather punctilious in these
matters, even with very intimate
friends.
When going away, the custom is
to give fee to the maid who has
cared for ones room and to any
other servant who may have rem,
dered some special personal service.
After a visit it is obligatory to
write a note to ones hostess soon
after ones return home, and to ex-
press in appreciative words the
pleasure one has had from her kind
ness and hOsDitality

respect her only mistake seems to
be in letting mans governing pitui-
tary gland get out of order-where-
upon he is in danger of growing in
definitely, and nearly always in
grotesque, out-of-proportion manner.
Scientists are now satisfied that
the hypophysis, or pituitary body, is
a ductless gland, one of those bodies
which has the peculiar function of
forming a secretion which is dis

have a much larger uniform size,
but support their weight upon four
instead of two legs. Whales reach
an enormous growth before their
pituitary gland stops it at maturity,
but their huge bodies are immersed
in an element which gives their
huge bulk uniform support all over.
So it seems that Nature was log
ical in fixing a normal size for each
species of living creatures. In this

tolerance of sugars, with the re-
sultant accumulation of fat
1t has also been proven that in all
cases of enormously tall men and
women either the hypophysis was
diseased or so pressed upon by tu-
mors near it as to be interfered
with in its proper functions.
There is the case of a child only
three years old, who at two and
half years of age began to grow
rapidly. In six months she grew to
be twice the size of the normal
three-year-old child; her waist meas
ured 10 inches. her hips 20 inches.
She died at this time, and the post
mortem showed an enormous tu-
NOR which had f1attened out the
hypophysis. This is supposed to be
case of rapid transition from an
over to an under-active glandular
condition
Many cases are on record of chill
dren and adults, in all of which the
abnormal development of bones or
fat was due to a diseased condition
of the hypophysis. AS a result of
the last few years study, treatments
for these cruel mistakes of nature
and diseases of the most important
gland in the body have been de-
Vised, which are saving many from
becoming monstrositiies.
There are three lines of treatment
being followed by the specialists

posal of those at whose house one is
a guest. If plans are suggested one
accedes to them cheerfully, and one
is always dressed in time to go out
for drives, walks, or for any other
diversions. 1t is tedious and annoy
ing for others to be kept waiting by
someone who is never ready.
In fact, thought of self must be
given up. A guest who fancies that
a visit is altogether for her pleasure,
and that little or no return is due the
hostess for hospitality, makes a fatal
mistake in good manners. Consider
alton is an evidence of good breed
ing 1t is an obligation not to make
any plans or engagements without
consulting the hostess in advance.
If there is any doubt between two
courses of action, the convenience of
those in whose house one is a guest
is the chief point to be regarded.
1t would seem obvious that a we'll
bred person would not fail in cour-
tesy, but young girls are occasionally
forgetful or too much occupied with
their own plans and interests. For
instance, it is a breach of etiquette
for a girl to make a convenience of
a friends house to receive a man
friend or acquaintance who is not in
favor in her own home. If she has
in the neighborhood young men
friends, she should not receive visits
from them without first asking her
hostess if il will be agreeable to her
TO have them call. When her friends
call she should be careful to intro
duce them to her hostess. Girls
sometimes need TO be reminded of
these LITTLE things

A T this season, when invita-
~ tons to make country visits
are received by most per
sons, it is very useful to know how
these affairs may be made pleasant
for ones self, ones host and fellow

pected guest, who cannot know
how inconvenient this may be to the
plans of a hostess; therefore one
should be most careful not to miss
the train named.
Adaptability and tactfulness are
very necessary qualifications. One
must adapt ones self Immediately to
the ways of the household. that the
regular order of things may not be
disturbed. If uncertain about wax

to be called. Punctuality at meals is

The position of the hypophysis
makes it difficult to reach, but once
the way has been opened to it, the
humorous portion may be removed
or a part of the gland taken away
to stop the abnormal growth.
This is precisely what will be
done to John Michael in the hos
pital in Philadelphia. His is plainly
a case of what the doctors call hy'
popituitarism, or over-activity of
this mighty little gland. There is
but one line of procedure possible.
The surgeons will make their way
in to the base of the brain and re-
move a part of the hypophysis, so
that it will cease feeding so much of
its powerful secretion to Johns
blood, and he will then stop grow
ing tall and become more normal if
all goes well.
He has a very good chance, too,
for in twenty-nine cases operated
on there we're but four deaths, a re-
markedly small number considering
the location of the gland and diff
Guilty of reaching it. So the prob
ability is that John will soon be we'll
and though he will not shrink in
height, he will not add to his growth
and can avoid becoming a mon
strosity.
But if these cases of extraordi-
nary development, either in height
or fat, are taken in hand promptly,
recourse to the knife may not be
necessary. 1t has been shown TO be
effective to give patients glandulac
extracts by which the excessive or
defective action of the .hypophysis'
can be regulated, if there is no IT,
NOR present. These extracts are
made from the hypophyses of Cattle
or swine, under the most scientifi-
conditions. This method has been
demonstrated as effective in a num-
Der of cases, especially is one noted
lately, in which the boy lost Is per
cent in weight and seemed regen-
Grated mentally and physically only
from the administration of the dried
extracts of hypophyses.
The development OF the monstros
ity can be stopped at once if every
one comprehends that the enormous.
~ ldJ Clllu 10 not HEALTHY, especially
if it increases in weight or height
very rapidly.
Great unhappiness and suffering
may be saved if the monstrosity
ceases to develop, for he is often a
burden to himself, is never well,
and becomes only a freak, to be ex-
hibited in a side-show, not a man,
ready and fit to do mans work in
the world. If unfortunately the case
is allowed to go too far, or there
are other complications, as in the
case of John Michael, then the sur
geOn is called in, and he affords re-
lief at once when he recognizes the
source of the trouble.
The famous philosopher Descartes,
founder of the Cartesian philosophy,
claimed that the hypophysis was tho
Seat of the Soul" The guess which
he made is being realized in a phys
ical sense at least, for it is now be-
ing recognized as the controlling
factor in the body of every verte-
brate. If it is well, then all is apt
to be well, but if it is disordered,
either in itself or is interfered with
by growths near it. the entire sys-
TEN is thrown into confusion, we
grow to enormous height or awful
breadth, and die untimely deaths.
