girls similarly situated. and il ia
very difficult to make helpful sug

WHEN WE ARE
BILIOUS
BY Brice Belden, NJ. D.

THE liver is the most maIigned
OF our organs. For some rea-
son il is singled out more
often than any OF our hard-work-
ing mechanicisms for criticism and
abuse. Bill Nye, in one of his
amusing skits, expresses a regret
that he cannot take his liver out
once in a while and beat it with a
stick.
Now, as a matter of fact. the liv-
er is equal to all reasonable de-
mands put upon il. II is our princi-
pal poison filter and inCinerator.
But if. through our own dietetic and
other eXcesses. the pOisOns Of the
body come faster than the liver
can deal with them. we become bill
ious."
When we are bilious, as We call
il, we have headache, coating OF the
tongue, a bad taste in the mouth,
loss of appetite. and a dull and
stupid feeling. All OF which really
means that we are suffering from
autO-intOXicatiOn. or poisoning.
for which the liver can be blamed
but little, if at all.
The liver receives a vast volume
Of blood and burns up the waste
substances which il carries. so that
the ultimate products can be elimi-
mated from the body by the kid
neys and skin.
Not only does the liver burn them
up, but it also has the power OF
converting certain poisonous sub
stances into harmless ones. The
toxins which are thrown of by the
germs of disease are consumed
in the liver and rendered inert
provided. again. that they do not
appear in overw helming force.
"Biliousness" is generally a proof
that We, rather than our livers. are
at fault We should be more con-
sideratc OF this faithful servant OF
the body. for in addition to the
functions which VIC have described,
II converts the sugars into glyCO-
gen. which it stores up and re-
leases again as sugar according to
the needs OF the system, il manu-
factures the bile, which aids in di-
gestion, dissolves the fats, and dis
iufects the intestines. and Il stores
up fat for reserve purposes.
The next time you are bilious
apologize TO your liver instead OF
slandering il, take a grain Of calo-
mel, and make some good resOlu-

CCNV JHAT's the use?" Ever said
w this to yourself? These
days there seems to be a
wave Of unrest spreading over our
country. IT has even reached our
housewives and my mail brings me
a wide variety of letters.
One mother of four little ones
tells me how disgusted with her lot
she is. She lives in a tenement in
A large city. She says she has no
friends among her neighbors and
has neither time nor money to go
away from home seeking friends.
Her home is dingy. She wonders
how anyone in the world can like
housekeeping with its three squares
TO prepare every day. And she
wants TO get away from it all out
into the great wide world.
Every keen observer tells Us that
We only get back from the world
what we give in the way Of real
things And, according to this lRdy's
letter, she seems TO be giving moth
ing more than she has to. There
are thousands Of women similarly
situated and among these are many
women having better time than
the rich wife who has no house
keeping cares.
Once ] knew a woman who had
several small children and lived in
d tenement in the slums Of a big
city. But she. noble creature. was
always superior TO her surround
ings. She frightened her corner
until one delighted in being in her
company. Once week for a couple
OF hours she entertained. The kid
dies were away at school.
My little friend gTOOmed herself
as carefully as n she were going
TO a most important function. She
nut on her one best dress. Some
times II was hot coffee and bakers
cake and sometimes II was tea or
cocoa and bread and butter that
she served Each time the neigh
