The visit Of the ward mother was
deeply appreciated, her presence MAX

from home was there.
In writing to friend in Hickory
one of the young men expressed the
sentiment of the ward as follows.
"Thanks to you good people in IIick
ory, and to Miss Gwaltney we had {,
mighty fine Christmas. The very gen
crous wav you people give and Miss
Gwaltncy's charming personality
takes what you do for us out Of the
'institutionalp class. Somehow you
seem like our home folks, and to those
of us who cannot be at home for
Christmas this means more than can
tell YOU" "Ward IT is indeed fortur-
ate in it's friends from Hickory"
"Will you please tell the folks there
how much we appreciate their inter-
est" They make life here lot
pleasant, and I wish we could thank
each and every one personally"

behold personified those more sordid
and selfish forces which were wall

Tired Blood
Vessels
BY Brice Belden, M. d.

A N appalling number OF busi-
~ ness men develop, even be-
for the age Of fifty, hard
ening OF the blood vessels Of the
brain, which sometimes results In
apoplexy, but in any case causes
more or less troublesome symp-
toms.
Constant concentration Of their
mental faculties, combined with
, worry, overeating and lack OF ex-
ercfse, disorder the circulation in
the brain in such a way as finally
to produce arteriosclerosis. This
may be practically limited to the
brain vessels or affect other YES
sells in the body in a more or less
general way,
Among the symptoms OF arteries.
clerosis Of the brain are dizziness,
loss of memory. difficulty in rea-
soning. headaches, and a feeling Of
pressure upon the brain. II the
blood pressure remains consist
emily high, the walls OF the blood
vessels in the brain finally degen-
crate to n point 30 great that they
are liable to rupture, when the
characteristic signs Of apoplexy
suddenly appear.

to this affection do to be saved?
They should avoid everything
tending to raise the blood press
ure-that Is to say, strong coffee,
tea, tobacco, physical exertion Of
too strenuous a character and the
taking Of excessively hot or cold
drinks.
Emotional excuses or strains
also have evil effects. Above all,
such persons should take frequent
rests, with change Of environment.
Thus, IL possible. they should leave
the city on Saturday for the coun-
try, returning on Monday after a
day spent in walking about in the
open air.
The best diet consists Of milk,
eggs, vegetables, fruit, fish. cheese.

DOYOU HELP MOTHER?
MOST NEGLECTED MEMBER OF SOCIAL FABRIC

.By LORETTO c. LYNCH

beautltuiiy In q little town In the
Far West where the State itself is
interested in mother conservation.
The women may establish a head
quarters. 1t may be at some ones
home or 1t may be a room at the
library.
The rich social workers inserted
an ad in the local paper which ran
something like this: Are you a
tired mother? Would you, too, like
a day off, or perhaps an hour? We
will call and mind your kiddies or
do any other household work within
reason for a sum ranging from five
cents an hour up"
The telephone number and the
address were given. Each Of the
social workers gave just one.half a
day a week to this work. But the
results were most gratifying.
Because a little fee was charged
the mothers felt much more free to
call upon the social service bureau.
Personally, feel that much good
effort is wasted upon the very poor
woman who is poor because she is
too lazy and Indifferent to help her.

IA because of It having had an
opportunity to study homes at close

true among our middle class folks

II IL my observation that the

one or two or more Riddles, neg

fails to recognize the importance
Of recreation. and she gradually de-

longed to clear the air with some
