Health Talks
tuberculosis

tuberculosis is most commonly
taken by young children from tuber-
culous parents, relatives or friends
who kiss and caress them, or from
floors, food, clothing or other artic-
les which have been contaminated
with tuberculous sputum.
1t is probable that four out of five
children are infected in this way.
and that n out of ten is infected
from the meat or milk of tuber-
culous animals.
The drift of opinion of medical in
vestigators is toward the belief that
tuberculosis is essentially a disease
of childhood. That all who are in
fected with the disease in childhood
however. do not suffer from it in
later life is due to the fact that their
general health has been maintained
by nutritious food. fresh air. suffi-
cient sleep, lack of worry and over
work and that they have not been
subjected to the depressing effects
of other infectious diseases, such as
measels. w%hooping cough, typhoid
fever, pneumonia, etc., whereby their
resistance to the tubercle bacillus
and its poison has been diminished.
tuberculosis is durable if treated
early. The tendency of the best
physicians of today is to limit the
treatment to open air by day and
night, sunlight. cleanliness of per-
son and surroundings, rest in bed
when necessary, and sufficient whole
some food. Children, be they tuber-
cular, anemic or well. thrive and
make more rapid progress in their
work in open air schools than in
closed schoolrooms.
1t is estimated that approximately
1901 people die of tuberculosis
every year in the United States. 1t
is a disease that always fights from
ambush. To beat such an enemy it
is necessary not only to know the
facts concerning right living but to
practice them every minute of
every day. Children do not know
these facts and if they did they
would be unable to apply them. For
this reason so many children are
victims either in childhood or in
later life.
The commonest early symptoms
are a persistent cold or cough, con-
tinued hoarseness. los of weight
md appetite. a rundown. tired feel
ing, persistent pain in the chest.

Olive Tablets

If your skin is yellow-complexion
pallid-tongue oated-appetite poor
you have a bad taste in your mouth
a lazy, no-good feeling-you should
take Olive Tablets.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-a sub
stitute for calomel-were prepared by
DR.. Edwards after II years of study.
DR.. Edwards'O Olive Tablets are apurely
vegetablec ompound mixed with oliveo oil.
You will know them by their olive color.
Tohave clear, pink skin, bright eyes,
no pimples. a feeling of buoyancy like
acknowledgements get at the cause.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act on
! the liver and bowels like calomel-yet
have no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome con-
stipation. Take one or two nightly and
note the pleasing results. Millions of
boxes are sold annually at l5c and 30c.

We were coming In sight of the
sanitarium when Tom spoke. You
are prepared, 1 hope. for Mr.. Ames
not recognizing your" he said.
Yes" Lila's voice was tense.
A physician was standing in the
hall as we entered. Tom talked to
him a few minutes, then he hurried
away.
When he came back he told us
that we might go UP and see him.
We walked up two flights of stairs
and followed the physician to a cor
ner room. 1t was light and airy and
fragrant with the scent of summer
blossoms.
The man sitting at the window
did not look up as we entered.
"John!" Lila had halted suddenly
a few feet from him.
He turned. Stared at his wife.
There was not the flicker Of recog-
milton in his gaze.
He arose and with careful dignity
bowed slightly.
With a little cry Lila rushed across
the distance which separated them
and grasped the hand which hung
listlessly at his side. Her beautiful
face still lovelier under the stress of
emotion, her eyes sought his and for
a full minute held them In their
queer green-yellow charm.
Then John Ames' hand dropped.
Her gaze relaxed and he turned with
. pitifully listless movement to the
window out of which he had been
looking.

and the word Introducing before
it
You will let the man friend who

when he leaves.
You will, If you wish, enclose with
the wedding announcements a call
ing card bearing the name of the
newly welded couple, such as Mr..
and Mrs. - and bearing the address
Of their future home. A card Of the
same kind may be used by the bride
when she returns from the honey
moon in calling on friends who have
extended courtesies. but it should
not be used in ordinary calling.
You will IL entertaining a man
friend at your club, pay all of the
expenses of the event. Whoever
extends an invitation, even though
it is o woman and the guest Is mas
culine, attends to the cost of the
event.
You will acknowledge with a
friendly smile and bow members of
your club whom you chance to meet
shopping or at a social event, even
though you have not met them for

You will take pains to make no
disturbing noise and to keep your
voice pleasantly low while lingering
for a period in the public lounge
of your club.

WHEN A WOMAN TELLS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

Lila sobbed.
"Oh-dear God she turned to
the window. Her words ended in a
moan.
Silently we stood there, Tom and
I, and watched the sun play on Lila's
wonderful golden head while she
fought a losing battle with her emo
tons.
The man in the chair at the other
window was undisturbed by his
wife's anguish. He leaned over a
trife to watch a bird p~inioning a
worm on the stone ledge and then
sat back, his steady gaze seeking the
levels toward ths sky line.

him with your" 1t was the physi-
clan who finally broke the silence.
"Yes-I think we might better
start right now" Tom said.
AS Tom spoke he advanced toward
Mr.. Ames and held out his hand.
Ames took 1t mechanically and
stared at Tom.
Shall we go for a ride now and
then go homer" Tom suggested.
And the man who had been John
Ames simply nodded.
Lila had turned and was looking
at him. AS the fact of her husbands
mental lapse bore in on her she
seemed gradually to be quieting her
self. She looked at her husband in
a strange sort of wonderment, as If,
perhaps, she sensed that their situa-
tions were now reversed.

ferent-so tragically Indifferent!

Year I want to know IL you believe
the first year of married life TO be
the hardest?" asks BRIDE-TO-BE.
Most matrons would agree that It
Is. Most settled married men
wouldn't answer the question at all.
Men are not reminiscent: not the
past, but what they hope to get from
the future, interests them.
But woman keeps the anniversa-
ries; and meditates; and concludes,
concerning marriage, that the first
is the worst year.
The small causes of domestic fric-
ton seldom prove fatal to a happy
married life, but there are .wo Of
tragic import which develop soon
after the wedding day.
One is mans and one is woman's
fault. Both come from the "will-to-
power" which psychologists hold to
be one of the great urges.
Woman desires TO dominate her
husband and the man is just as de-
termined TO rule his wife.
