NDREW AND OGENE-By Roe Fu1kersor

when Imogene came into the room every
drawer in Andrews chiffonier was pulled
out and lying on the bed. All his shirts and
other white wear were scattered over the
ROOM Some were heaped the bed and
other portions were piled on and draped over
the chairs.
For goodness sake, what are you doing?"
she demanded.

he exclaimed glazing at her.

it" she snapped back
"Well, it will be one where I can find
my clothes when I want them, maybe" He
turned from her and began digging like a fox
terrier into a pile of garments on the bed.
Andrew" she said, catching him by the
arm, do be sensihla- know you have lost
something you want ana you know you never
could find anything in your life. Tell me
what it is you want and I will give it to
you and then put in the next hour replacing
these things. What is it?",

"S-o-x socks; white white. White socks.
1 bought half dozen pairs two weeks ago
and now there is not pair here"
Imogene flushed slightly and then said
coolly: you sit down out of my way and
will find them for you, as put these things
back in the drawer where they belong"
She picked up shirts, collars and things,
slowly filling the drawers and replacing them
in the chiffonier until the clothes were all
back and yet she did not find the lost
stockings.

Billions for War;; for Peace9

A GENERATION ago billion dollar bud
~ get for the national Government would
have been considered monstrous; but
it is unlikely that the present generation ever
again will see expenses brought within that
compass. Treasury officials are in high feath-
er because for the Irst ten months Of the cur
rent fiscal year the outgo was only two bill
lion eight hundred and twenty million dol
lars!
The largest item in this gigantic total
represents interest on the war debt. The
surest guarantee of economy will be guar
antee of peace Shortly before the confer
ence on armament limitation figures were ad-
duced from official records showing that of
the billions of money which American tax
payers were pouring into the national till
more than ninety-two cents of every dollar
vent for debts of wars past and preparations
for those to come. Less than one and half
per cent was devoted to the interests of ed
lcation, scientific research, and public
health, and less than eight per cent to all
the interests of peace combined.
We are frugal indeed touching the things
that enrich and upbuild human life, but on
those that impoVerish and destroy We needs
must lavish our utmost. Not by preference
does America lover of concord, do this, but
because of world conditions that roll as in
evitably upon her national life as the ocean
tides upon her shores. To aid in transforming
these basic conditions is the best effort that
can be put forth in the interest Of peace and
of constructive thrift.

doesn't care half as much for me as hers
take things lightly as she does, my family
does for her. And it's unjust. And L don't
understand it," walls the devoted wife and
mother.
Yet the matter is not hard to understand.
The things of the spirit are eternally more
important than those of the flesh. Not even
husbands and children live by bread alone,
and there are very few Of us who would
not rather sit down to dinner OF herbs
with cheerful, pleasant amiable woman to
bear US company. than to feast that IS
eaten to an accompaniment of fault-fnding
and pickering.
Not many of us are selfish enough, any
way to desire those about us to sacrifice
themselves for US, but what we do yearn
for is to have them pleasant, and easy to
get along with. The thing that we hate and
loathe is to have to be perpetually on our
guard, for fear of precipitating a scene by
inadvertently bringing up the topic that IS
like red rag to mad BULL or stepping on
the feelings of someone whose morbid SEN
sibilities are spread all over the place
Most of us get all the fighting we have
stomach for in the outside world. We get
our vanity pounded to pulp by strangers
with whom we match wits, and when we
come home we want peace, and some one
to apply poultices of praise and admiration
to our wounded egotism, and that is why we
who takes us as we are, faults and weak
nesses, and all, and doesn't worry us about
them.
She is easy to get along with, and that
is a headliner quality in the person with
whom you have to live three hundred and
sxty-five days in the year.
And so it goes through life. When we
20 to a shop the clerk we pick out to buy
from is the one with a good-natured, pleas
ant face, not the grumpy, sour-visaged one
though the latter one may be ten times as
competent salesman or woman. The peo-
pie we put ourselves out to boost are the
agreeable people, with charming manners
and the knack of saying nice things. We
let the grouchy shift for themselves no mat
ter how deserving they may be.
No man and woman who cannot get along
with their fellow workers can hope to sue
coed unless they are transient geniuses, but
we all push agreeable mediocracy into the
limelight. All of which leads one to say
that if you can't be anything else, be
amiable Be agreeable. Cultivate a pleas
ant manner, and the gentle art of smooth
ing out rough places, and pouring oil upon
the troubled waters of life
1t pays the biggest dividend on the
smallest investment in effort that you can
possible make.

ricketts,
By H. Addington Bruce

~ ICKETS-that unhappily common dis
X ease of childhood, characterized by de-
n ficiency in bone growth-is still very
much of puzzle to the medical profession.
One might almost say that today, so far as
knowledge of its cause is concerned, 1t is
more of puzzle than ever, despite the many
experiments made in recent years in the en-
deavor to account for it.
On the other hand, If the results of these
experiments have raised new questions as
to the specific cause of ricketts,, there can
be no doubt that they have greatly pro-
NOTED it's treatment. For they have definite
ly established various conditions as favoring
the development Of ricketts,, and have shown
how these may be corrected.
Thus, the old-time medical belief that
faulty diet has much to do with the occur
renee of ricketts, has been impressively veri-
fled. It has been proved, through expert
ments on animals that if the diet does not
contain an adequate amount of calcium salts,
phosphorus, and especially the food elements
known as vitamns, ricketts, is exceptionally
likely to develop.
1t is the more likely toi develop if the
wrongly fed child is at the same time reared
under conditions preventing it from obtain
ing ample sunlight. Whatever the diet, in
deed, deprivation from sunlight may bring
on ricketts,.
And on the opposite, by giving child af-
flicted with ricketts, a gradually increasing
exposure to sunlight, a cure of the ricketts,
may be effected. Tut so, too, may a cure
be effected when the diet is at fault, by dit
airy changes in the direction of increasing
the intake of calcium salts, phosphorus, and
Vitamins.
Naturally, the fact that such dissimilar
agents as diet and sunlight are so potent
in the treatment of ricketts, complexities the
question of the precise cause of ricketts,.
Is it, perhaps, as DR.. Richard Cabot some
years ago suggested, essentially disease of
glandular malfunctioning due to any condi-
ton that makes for malnutrition Or must
one seek for it's cause in some disease germ,
which, invading the organism, is capable of
producing ricketts, when the bodily resistivity
is lowered by malnutrion?
Quite recently an affirmative answer has
been returned to this latter question by a
Scottish physician, DR.. D. N. Patton who,
without pretending to have isolated any germ
responsible for ricketts,, insists that there
must be an infective element in the causation
of ricketts,. 1.-THE condition cannot be con-
sidered in any other light than as of
microbial origin rendered possible by the de-
pressed activity Of metabolism."
Further research alone can determine
whether this is the correct view. Meantime,
even if the ultimate cause of ricketts, remains
a profound mystery, it is good to know that
real progress has been made in the i'm
portant matter of its successful treatment.

Then Think of Our Winters

q o marked has been the increase in Chi
cago's winter mortality during the last
fifty years that a leading health spe-
cialist of that city now proposes a change in
the public school term whereby sessions will
begin in March and end about Christmas.
Every disease which prevails among chill
dren of school age he tells the American
Medical Association, now meeting at st.
Louis, increases in September and reaches
its peak in early spring. This is true of
smallpox, measles whooping cough scarlet
fever, and sometimes of diphtheria. A two
months break in mid-winter should disturb
the progressive increase of the prevalence,
and if, as seems probable, the sore Threats
of the autumnare activators of the pneumo-
Mas of February and March, We might break
the backbone Of the (upward) pneumonia
curve His advice is directed, it appears,
not only to Chicago, but to cities in general
whose winters are rigorous and trying upon
childYens health.
Not by way of what Dogberry called
"odorous' comparisons, but simply as mat
ter Of fact and Of gratitude, it may be OBJ
served that a climate like Atlanta's takes
the peril out of winter schooling. Yet if
summer sessions were inaugurated, they
would be much cooler here than in many

A PERFECT WITNESS
By DR.. Frank Crane

In the most celebrated criminal case in
England for over a generation, where an Eng
fish gentleman, an attorney named Armstrong,
was sentenced to death for poisoning his wife
the presiding judge, Mr. Justice Darling went
out of his way to do an unusual thing.
He complimented DR.. Salisbury, pathoIogiSt
who gave testimony upon "the extreme care
and freedom from bias of his evidence"
This calls attention to the fact that very few
people understand the art of giving evidence.
Analysing The words and manner of this ex-
pert, we can learn few points as to what con-
StituteS good witness
In the first place, he knows what he is talk
