TYPES: There are extremes in the
types o2 visitors to the doctors Office
and one of these types is a verita;ble
pest. Not doctor lives and has been
in practice a few years that has not
had SAD experience with both kinds.
One of these extremes suffers in 81
Ience. will not go to the doctor until,
in soma cases, it is too late. The
other is the pest.
In the latter case there may be,
to start with some real ailment that
requires a careful course of treatment
and it lis given in a thorough and
careful manner that results satisfac-
torily, hut in the meantime the pest
thinks that as long as the doctor
must be paid, why not rake him earn
his money and a. pain is found here
and there. No sooner is one trouble
disposed of than two more appear,
until finally after the first and real
trouble has entirely disappeared, there
are SO rs1any of the manufactured all
ments, that the condition is some
times worse than it was at the start.
If the doctor is frank and honestly
tells the patron there is nothing real
1y the matter he is looked upon as an
ignoran2us. Another doctor is visited,
a, trip to a sanitarium or as frequently
happens, Christian Science is adopted
and another stupendous triumph over
the medical fraternity is recorded. I
applaud stupendous1y and so does ev-
cry mau that has had to deal with
such cases. When the real sufferer
comes, the one that puts off the visit
to the doctor, fearing to know the
truth, another and more difficult prob
lem is presented.
knowledge of the true condition is
not going to change it or kill you and
even if the doctor does mention sur
gerry, You do not have to undergo an
operation unless you are willing.
Give che doctor half chance and
the cure may be an easy matter, but
if you conceal part of the facts and
many of the symptoms you only him
der his work Some drifting symptom
that to you may be unimportant,
might mean much to him. After you
have once told him all about your
case, Let him do the rest. Don't watch
for symptoms and pains watch for and
confidently expect a complete recov-
cry.
It's net necessary to run to the doc
tor every time you sneeze or have a
pain in your cleft hind foot but if the
sneezing persists and you! chill or per-
spire freely without apparent cause
or some of your joints persistently re-
fuse to work properly and severe pain
is felt frequently in a certain place.
then by all means ask the doctor, he
knows and he may save you much
suffering and expense.

is A CAREER OR ::

| When thou art o1d.''
/ Many ain ambitious. girl has faced
this problem: Which is best-a career
or marriage? Fortune has been kind
in offering her the choice.
| She is as beautiful as she is clever.
Her friends tell her it would be a pity
to waste her talents by marrying the
poor young man who has asked her
hand in marriage. She has a splendid
voice Friends tell her enthusiast
cally that she ought to make a for
tune out of it and fame as we'll There
are others who tell her that beauty
like hers would create a furore among
the managers who bid against each
other for attractions for films, espe-
cially when they recognized that she
had the making of a great actress
as well. This is a most essential
quality.
They tell her, too, that married life
and a career lie along widely separat-
ed paths. AS the wife of a poor man,
she could have love and comfortable
freside, yet she could not hope for
l11xuries. With only his hands and al
willing heart he would not be able to-
forge ahead to any extent. If he kept
his head above water he was doing
well.
When the heart is disconnected hap
piness can never be complete. Even
though she marries, such a girl is
more apt to rue it if adversely assai1s

kinfolk who live him, to remind him
how they had urged him, in the first

That is the beginning of the end.

The Right Blouse For the Spring Suit.

not the easiest matter in the world to
find the proper blouse to top off the
dressy suit. Here is model that pos
sesses Unusual cachet 1t is carried
out in crepe Georgette trimmed with
flet insertion and small satin buttons
The design, In medium size, requires 8
yards 36-inch material with 27s yards
Of lace for the trimming
The waist may be made with or with
out the sleeve cap. To cut the design
the crepe must first be folded careful
ly in half Directly on the fold is la1c
the front. with the collar and flare cuff
sections following, although these are
on IengthWise thread. If a high
straight collar is preferred to the fun
mel effect, the section marked ID
should be laid on the iengthwfse fold
of the material. The sleeve cap and
sleeve are placed last, to the extreme
right end of the crepe. Going back
to the beginning, as shown in the cut
ting guide. the strap is laid along the
selvage edge, with the back and sleeve
band, placed on a, lengthWise thread
coming next.
If the sleeve cap is not desired, cut
off the lower part of the shoulder strap
on small 'o'' perforations.
In beige. with butter colored lace, the
blouse is exceedingly smart looking
and will transform into dressy effect

WINTER VACATIONS AND
WINTER RESORT LIFE.

The doings at Southern and other
winter resorts take much space at
this season in all journals featuring
society news. The business of en-
tertaining- winter rest seekers looks
like a big one from the extent of adj
money is spent, though much of it
comes from a class of wealthy people
able to afford long journeys.
Unfortunately the winter vacation
is a dream as yet unrealized by the
great mass of hard working people.
can do as much in 43 weeks out of the
81. as in sticking to the job without
any rest,
Railroad literature gives an enor-
nous number of hotels and boarding
houses in Southern resorts that enter
tain company from winter latftudes.
The American leisure classes and the
play times are fast growing as wealth
increases.
The life at these Southern resorts
is ideal for health and pleasure, pre-
ferabIe in some respects to that at
the popuIous summer capitals, At
the latter people often spend their
time in picture shows and dancing
halls. The real nature and out door
life that a vacation is supposed to
exist for is neglected. At the win
ter resorts the occupations are golf,
tennis, riding, bathing, and all the
real open air pastines.
Every one who quits his task for
such pleasures must regret that they
are, barred to the great mass of people
in the stuffy offices and shops of a
Northern winter. But the vacation
habit. seems to deTnora1ize the COM
plicated and artificial mechanism of
modern industry. Railroad travel is
costly The traveller is taxed by hir-
1ings at every turn. Perhaps at
some futures period when life is SIM
pier and less fiereely competitive,
there will be more leisure and more
frequent outings for all workers.

Dear Doctor: AS I see so many
writing for help too, would like help.
I was taken sick and called a physf-
| clan who said my trouble was liver
trouble and that I was poisoned
all through my system and full or ma
laria had terrible headaches al
most every day, first on 4one side Of
my head and then the other. After
| I had been sick for two weeks I had
| a touch of nervous prostratfon and
am only able to get around and am
| still very nervous. About weeks
ago commenced to have brown spots
on my neck, face and arms, ana on my
body Can you tell me of something
to take them off? They look like
| freclzles. Also, can you tell me of
some good liver regulator or a good
tonic to strengthen me. Just as soon
as get tired shake all through and
am very weak. I am SO years of
age. Mis- IL
k (Answer) In your case, as well as in
the majority of others that come to
nv notice. the original cause of the
trouble is in the diet. You should eat
very slowly, that is chew every NOR
sci of food until 1t becomes hqulneo
before swallowing, drink nothing
while food is in the mouth, no tea or
coffee at any time. but plenty OF wa
ter between meals.
The first thing upon arising in the
morning drink slowly a quart of hot
salt mixed with it. If you care for
any breakfast let it be very light, con-
sisting mostly of fruit and cereals ana
a generous dish of steWed pruness no
meat, potatoes or hot bread. The
noonday meal should be generous with
vegetables and a light supper with
fruits You will find that as the bow
els begin to move regularly and act
properly your complexion will clear
up The external application of the
tab h
quently given in these columns of
acetic acid, glycerine and witch hazel
would aid in bleaching out the b1otch-
es or spots.
At your age and in your cond1ton-
you need rest and plenty of 1t. Do
not overwork. Form a habit of lying
down for a short time at least each
day. if only for a half hour during the
morning and an hour in the after-
noon. You also require the compound
gentian as a. tonic,
The principal thing necessarily in
selecting your diet is to avoid what is
,rox1y4 as chad combinations" In
order to know both the good and the
bad it is wise to remember that the
following combination will be found to
effect YOU about as each is represent
ed.
Good Combinations - Grain and
fruits; grains and meats or eggs;
grains and milk; grains and vegetables
Fair Combinations-Grai fruits
and milk; meat and vegetables
Bad Combinations-Milk and meat;
fresh bread and milk.
In speaking of grains, preparations
of wheat foods containing all of the
nutritive elements are meant. Bar
ley and rye are both good. but oat-
meal should be avoided. Indian meal,
in the form of musf, buildings, or
as fried mush in olive oil or cotton
seed oil with maple syrup Is good
Whenever the tendency is toward con-
stipation, whole wheat should be eat
en- freely with an increase of the grain
and vegetables. When there is too
great a relaxation, verging on diar-
rhoea, then the grains, meats and eggs
or cheese should constitute the princi-
PAL articles of diet. Tea and coffee
