headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessneSs and
all sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys

~ USTOM, more potent than any
ri other authority known to man,
has decreed that on st. Val
entine's day which, in the
Roman and Anglican calendar, falls
on February IA, young folks Of both
sexes. and older ones, too, should ex-,
change missives and epistles. whether
comic or sentimental. in which the
foibleS Of the receiver or the$lOve Of
the sender, are set forth in prose, in
verse and in emblematic picture.
Now, the reason for sending these
amatory. derogatory, or even scurrilous
messages: cannot be found in the life
of the good saint who is made to in
dOrse the custom with his name. He
wrote no love songs. nor can any one
accuse him Of sending sweet couplets
to Roman maidens. He was bishop
or pope of Rome, who stood steadfast
in the faith during the Ciaudian perse-
cutions and was cast into Jail, beaten
with clubs and finally beheaded. BIZ
OgrapherS have made more or less in
telligent guesses as to the reason for
naming this day for the martyred
saint. With theory that as "V' and
''G'' were frequently interchangeable
in popular speech. and as notable in
stance produces the words gallant and
valiant, both sprihging from the Latin
"valens," ergo. the Norman word gal
antin. a lover of the fair sex. was fire.
quently pronounced valentan or val
entne. From these premises, the ety.
mologist concludes that by natural
confusion of names Bishop Valentine
was established as the patron saint Of
lovers.
Francis DOuce suggests that St. Val
entine's day is the Christianized form
of the classic Lubercalia. which were
the feasts held in Rome during the
NORTH Of February in honor of Pan
and Juno.
