HEROINES OF HISTORY
HOW TILE DEVOTION OF HID
TRUDIS BROUGHT PEACE
AFTER WAR.

Al IE1N WAX.
Hiltrudis was the daughter OF
Charles Martel. a Frank. She was
born in 1913, in Germany. and the
story OF the deed which gives her a
place among heroines reads like a
fairy tale. and yet it is fact.
Hiltrudis's father died when she
was young. and Pepin and Carlman,
her brothers, then became the rec
ognized heads Of the family. The
new authority seemed 10 change

jected the other members of their
family 10 all sorts of humiliations
If she left home. Hiltrudis knew
she would place herself in great
danger, but she determined not 20
stand for the cruelty Of her brothers
any longer. So one night she stole
away from her home and fed TO her
aunt. the Duchess of Bavaria.
This angere6 Pepin and Carlman,
but afteV searching for Hiltrudis for
some time they gave up hope of find
ing her. Life in Bavaria wac a
pleasant one. and the youthful run
away was happy.
She was especially happy one day
when her cousin. Odillo, enchanted
by her beauty and charm. asked her
hand in marriage. Having enter
tanned a secret affection for him for
some time, Hiltrudis gladly consent
ed to become his wife, and they
were quickly married.
Five years later the happiness OF
Eiltrudis and Odillo was interrupted
by war. Odilo was compelled TO
declare war against the Franks, be-
cause OF the repeated insults OF
Pepin and Cariman. who were his
cousins, as we'll as the brothers OF
his wife.
This srieved Hiltrudis, but she
felt that her husband was in the
right. During the war OdiTo was
wounded and fell a prisoner into
he hands OF his enemies. II was
then that Hiltrudis contrived to
gain his release.
Disgusting herself as a knight, the
brave wife started out for the court
OF her brothers. She feared that
detection meant death, but the life
Of her husband meant more 10 her
than her own life.
Hiltrudis arrived at the court Just

new heir. She realized that she
would have 20 take part IN the bap-
tism as a visitor at the court. so
she bought a costly present for him.
In the mean time she was planning
way 10 gain the release OF Odillo.
But the brave wife was unable
to conceal her identity. and was
recognized by her brothers. Then a
great uprsrise came.
When they learned that Odillo
was her husband. and that she had
thus risl1ed her life 70 effect his

YOUR HEALTH By c5 d.: R; $

A long time ago Sir William Osler
said:
What is required now is popular
education, not in business, but in
health"
A writer IN a European newspa-
per said another wise thing recently:
HE who promises health by
means Of a ministry of health, or
something in a bottle. or anything
else. is a false prophet. a quack or
= fool"
There can be no doubt, as pointed
out ~ the writer, that a little
knowledge of disease encourages
more constant thought about the
health and morbid ideas, for he
says:
Every momentary discomfort in
the abdomen IS interpreted to mean
cancer of the stomach, and every
mouthful Of food IS suspected of
conveying cancer or tuberculosis.
Healthy medical students after
hear .ng their first lecture on heart
disease. troop in large numbers to
their professor in order 10 have
their own most alarming cardiac
symptoms diagnosed. Some teach
ing in so-called sex hygiene proceeds

wise unsuitable for such teaching
and the effect OF their efforts IS often
calamitous for those whom It IS
sought TO protect and enlighten."
thought that the medical profession
should raise its voice in unceasing
protest against the false-or, what
Is quite as bad-the half-teaching
OF INSCRIPTIONS practitioners or Of
half-baked enthusiasts.
Nowhere else is Il so true that "a
little learning is a dangerous thing"
as II Is IN the matter OF medicine and
hygiene Everybody should have a
knowledge of the body. Nothing Is
more important You should know
how 10 care for this most precious
possession.
You would not trust the care or
repair OF your automobile 70 an In

It is particularly true that In all
these delicate functions relating to
reproduction, instruction should be
given by some one thoroughly
competent TO advise. One should
never trust 70 quack literature. to

TO lay persons who have limited OPP

opening the cage doors at half-past
twilight hour when all the circus
people are asleep.
Norwood is sure OF this because
he has travelled all over the world
with circuses.
The adventures Of Diggeldy Dan
have been put in a book by Norwood.
The story begins when Diggeldy Dan
was told by the fairies that he could
let the animals out OF the cages
when everyone was asleep.
And TO be sure that Diggeldy Dan
wouldn't make any mistake in the
time, the fairy gave Dan a flower
watch. All Dan had TO do was TO
await until the petals on the flower
watch closed and then he knew the
playtime Of the animals was over.
