How To Keep
Yourself Well


Is it possible to get hard of hear
ing from being very nervous? l am
a woman of 40 years old. and for 23
years. deafness has been coming on
me. 1t is so bad now l can't do the
work l have been doing. L got the
best treatment without any results.
l have a terrible beating in my head,
but not in my ears. 1t is an even
steady throb through my head. l
also have a cold chill. 1t always
starts in my head but sometimes 1t
goes through me.
1t is not likely that your deafness
is due to your general nervous condi-
ton. 1t is possible. however. that
some nerve irritation is responsible
for the sound of throbbing in your
head. Such a nerve irritation some-
times causes an increased blood pres
sure, or other change in the %cIrcula-
ton of the blood, and this makes you
conscious of the throbbing.
Possibly the condition which
causes your deafness also causes this
irritation of the nerves. Since your
general nervous condition at this
time is not satisfactory, l would sug-
gest that you secure treatment for
this trouble either from your fam
lily physician or a specialist.

The Mans Side of Married Life

The ice was so thick about my
home on Sunday morning hat I felt
like an Arctic explorer.
Both Dot and her mother blamed
me for my father-in-law's mishap.
Finally. when Dot, fer the twentieth
time, began to tell me about poor
father" l broke in by saying:

SHOULD l have let him go to sleep
under some lamp post? Now let me
tell you my side of it. YOU insisted
upon me playing cards last night.
YOU insisted upon me taking your
father along.
"HE insisted on drinking too
much while the rest of us were be-
having ourselves like gentlemen,
and, incidentally, HE drank up all
my friends rye.
HE insisted on betting like a
crazy man, and, even SO. he didn't
lose any more than he won the
last time he played with my friends.

"Now I'll tell you what I'll do. If
1t will make you and your mother
feel any better. I'll give back to your
father the 81 I won from him last
night. If it will make him feel any
better, I'll give him all he lost.
Just keep this in mind: / didn't
have anything to do with him play
ing cards nor drinking. He needed
no urging to do either"
Dot didn't say anything to sug-
gest that she recognized the justice
of my remarks, but at least she
dropped the subject. though she and
her mother still regarded me icily.
Later in the morning Dot an
nounced that she and her mother
were goiong to church and asked me
If 1 would stay home with Bobbie
and her father.
Doesn't he want to go to
church," I asked, wickedly.

after her.
When she had gone I went In to

"Well, dad" I said briskly, "how

II guess you think your pretty

a big piece of ice clinking in 1t he
regarded me almost with real graft

They're a nice bunch of fellows,

Baked potatoes are the old

them in the Goals and ashes. but
be sure that the ends of the wire

cakes, wrap them in craps or maple
leaves and lay on the hot Goals to
bake. When finished strip off the
leaves and eat hot, with butter.
A delicious way to prepare fresh

it should be basted frequently with

expensive fruit go further add from
one-fourth to one-half as much

used.
