Laughter as a Healer
of Bronchial Diseases

A young Italian physician. Or.
D'Aiutolo. was the first scientific
student to call attention to the heal
ing power of laughter in bronchial
diseases.
He declared this before the Medico-
Chirurgical Society of Italy, and
backed up the statement by produc-
ing patients cured entirely and sole
ly by laughter purposely provoked.
1t seems that the shaking of the sides
aids the expulsion of secretion and
permits the oxygen of the air to dry
up and heal the diseased cells, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
And not merely in lung diseases is
1t eff1cacious. for the side-splitting
laughter loosens the particles of de-
cayed matter in the muscles and
hastens their discharge through the
lymphatics. Thus disease germs are
carried off and the whole body is
stronger and more immune from con-
tagion.

First, the Duke of Burgundy was
slain, then the Duke of Normandy,

Finally. Sir Harold, great and
brave knight, spoke up and said

When the Belgians saw Edward
coming they said: we will have TO
retreat. Remember. we have slain
Edwards son. Prince Charles.
When King Edward saw that 1t
was Sir La Pasa who had done this
he made him Duke of Burgundy.
When his comrades heard of the
honor bestowed upon him by King
Edward they said. Let us kin this
man. We fought as bravely as he.

EUGENICS CAN TEACH GIRLS
MUCH OF VITAL IMPORTANCE

Why is it so important that we
elders-and through us our young
people-should thoroughly understand
eugenics is that the great problem
we are facing today is not the crea-

better race. zazs5
The chief need is not the mere null
IMPLICATION of bodies-we want quality
far more than quantity.
The former will give us more hui
man children; the latter has already
given us too many children.
This means more of human and
less of an animal maternity. and of
course this goes straight back to the

TUNES of Taffeta

Most evening gowns have a tunie
in some form or another, and every
thing depends on the draping of the
skirt and the color and texture of
the materials.
One good model seen recently was
in white satin, draped, with plated
cream chiffon tunic dropping low be-
hind and fairly short in front.
Another in pastel blue taffetas,
which was worn with a hooded cloak
of pink taffeta, trimmed with puce
ruching, was extremely fascinating.

cannot tell you how long it will
take your eyebrows to grow, but
