a DOCTOR who is famous nerve special
~ list said to me the other day:
do you know the prescription that
give oftener than any other? 1t is separa-
ton. I have found out that what ails most
peoples nerves is N overdose of family, and
if can just get my patients to break away
from their husbands, and wives, and chill
dren, and mothers, and fathers, and their
sisters, and their cousins, and their aunts
they get we'll of themselves.
That's the main good Of sanitariums
They give people a respite from their near
relatives, and makes the separation d1plo-
matically without hurting anybody's feel
tngs.
'The ordinary layman has no conception of
how the people with whom we live wear upon
us, and react upon us, but we doctors know
We know that nearly every case of nervous
prostratation means frettlng wife, or nag
ging husband, or meddling mother, or
Icantankerous mother-in-law People lay their
breakdown to overwork when it is really only
an overdose of family. We can stand lot

Ply and peaceful. lat home. It's the inside job
that gets u.s. and that steals from us health
and spirit.
every often donesticity is like Samson in
the Bible. 1t Stays it's thousands with the
jaw bone Of an ass. L have scores of patients
who are simply being talked to death by their
families and who only need to get off by
themselves, and away from the perpetual fam
lily monologue to get well.
"Nagging has killed more people than all of
the seven deadly plaques combined, and it
is perfectly useless to try to stop nagging at
the source because in the first place, the nag
ger never admits to nagging, and in the sec
ond place, nagging is generally inspired by
over-love and over-anxiety, and so the nag
ger accounts her nagging to herself for right
eousness instead of recognizing it as the
greatest fault a human being can have.
"It is love, and not hate, that causes a
woman to make her husbands and children's
lives burden to them by her perpetual,

stomach Don't sit up reading Don't go
to that party tonight, its too cold, or dry, or

"Day in and day out, such woman's fam
lily lives to an accompaniment of these per-
petual reminders that everything they want
to do is bad for them, and this never-ending
interference with their personal liberty. She
never dreams that she is hacking away at
their bodily and mental fiber, and that SOON
er or later it will give away. At last, her
deadly work done, she comes, and with fear,

women would seem to be an argument for
the view that the women are in revolt
, against marriage. 1t is certain that women
come to Washington from all parts of the
country for the purpose of getting jobs. It
is also certain that Washington is known to
women in all parts Of the country as place
where misunderstanding is exceedingly poor.
This is due in part to the large relative pro-
portion of women in the population, and also
in part to the fact that the types of men who
make good husbands are not found here. The
ideal husband is the prosperous business
man. There is very little business in WASH
ington. The place is popula ed by govern
ment clerks, politicians, and newspapermen,
who are three of the most i'm lacunious types
on earth. In fact, personable men are so few
in Washington that any man with clean
face and dress suit get into society as
far as he is willing to co. There is whole
tribe here known as cake-eaterS who SubS1st
largely by going out to tea, lunch and dinner.
These young gentlemen have established the
curious but useful custom of letting the Ma
dies pay the checks at cafes and other such
places where a tariff is charged for the en-
tertainment.
The point is that women certainly do not
come here for the purpose of finding hus-
bands. Most of them know in advance that
game of that kind Is exceedingly scarce and
wary and rather lean when caught, and those
who do not know it in advance find it out
soon after their arrival. Yet they come In
droves and hang onto their jobs with that
tenacity for which government office-holders
are famous Thousands of them came dur
ing the war, and when the cutting down of
office forces began to take place after the
armistice, there was must weeping and gnash-
ing Of teeth among the fair ones who had
come here to serve their country in her hour
of need. One and all, they seemed to hate
going back home.
It is not hard to understand why they like
Washington. They have jobs which are not
very hard and give them the necessities OF
life. Usually they do not live in well chap
eroned boarding houses, but club together
and rent flats They have month of vaca-
ton a year. They enjoy measure OF free
dom and independence which is known to
few girls living at home with the folks, and
to still fewer married women. All of them
probably are willing to marry II suhiclent-
" brilliant offer comes along, but brilliant
offers are few and freedom is sweet when
once you are used to it. Probably the SO per
cent of Washington women VINO are unmar-
ried includes a considerable number of that

YOUR Discomfort
By HI. Arlington Bruce


IT HOSE grow old quickest who worry
most. This is a truism that through
everyday observation should be IA
miliar to everybody.
Yet the cultivation Of an h;bitually serene,
optimistic attitude OF mind is a youth-pre-
serving device too often left unused. No
one who fails to make use of it need be sur
prised if he grow old before his time.
So with him who falls into the exceedingly
bad habit of doing everything in hurried
or overtense way
Hurry, as I have often taken occasion to
remark is twin to worry. Both mean energy
waste, and when they become habitual they
mean also slowing down of all the internal
processes. This brings premature aging.
AS does overtenseness
There are people who, from adolescence on
ward, seem never to relax. They hold them
selves not only mentally tense, but physically
tense as well.
Which involves a really serious strain on
the whole organism. And one of the most
certain effects of that strain Is aging-an
early aging that would not be if the great
benefit of frequent relaxing were duly appre-
ciated.
day still further helps to keep one young by
it's salutary effects on the mental and emo
tional state.
Power through repose-power to overcome
any predisposition to needless worry, to ill
temper that weakens, to Oppressive conditions
in generals more than a phrase. It rep
resents fact of much Importance to all of
us. He who accustoms himself to daily rest
periods-while yet working vigorously when
at works. doing much to make his life as
a whole successful and in particular to re-
tard the onset of old age.
The same may be- said of him who learns
to use his leisure wisely.
Leisure, it cannot be too clearly under
stood, is given man to be used, not abused.
Multitudes abuse it by devoting It to a cease
less pursuit of pleasure. But perpetual pleas
ure-hunting is one of the most fatiguihg of
all occupations.
Think of some among your own acquaint-
anaes who give their leisure to nothing but
quest Of pleasure Have they remained con-
spicuously young n heart and young in ap-
pearance? Do not their faces prematurely
bear the tell-tale marks Of age?
Which suggests, of course, that to acquire
a wide range of worthwhile interests, as
avocations to which one may satisfyingly turn
in leisure hours, another aid in the pres
ervation Of youth 1t is, beyond any question.
He who has varied interests is sure not
alone to escape the boredom which ages the
chronic pleasure-seeker-as it also ages the
man living in narrow mental rut-he Is not
only sure to escape this, but in addition is
sure to remain Mentally alert.
And to remain mentally alert is more than
an aid to keeping young. 1t is an essential
to keeping young.
These few suggestions I offer in the hope
that they will prove Of practical value to
some who may need them. Alas, how many
do need suggestions like these! To how many
old age comes when they should still be in
the prime of middle life.

The verger was interested in the form of
a bill that accompanied the delivery of three
tons of coal to the rectory He could not
understand why the bill should be made out:
Zone ton of coal, SIS shillings; ditto, ditto. IL
The rector explained that the use of the word
ditto" saved the writing of the whole
sentence three times.
The next Sunday morning the verger sur
prised the congregation by announcing:
Hymn No. 1885, Art thou weary? Ditto
languid? Ditto sore, distressed?''
The mother took her baby to be christen-
ed. The clergyman, who knew her personally,
dipped his pen in the ink and prepared to
fill in the necessary papers.
When he came to the space reserved for
the date he said genially: 'Let me see, this
is the St. isn't it?''
Certainly not!" said the indignant moth

berus in the editorial sanctum. What do
you mean by insulting me as you did in last

Sweden Watches

In Swedish financial circles the develop
ments for and against Russia in the Genoa
conference are watched with considerable
anxiety, for upon the action with respect to
that meeting depends the acceptance or rejec-
tion of a contract with the Russian Soviet
government involving 100000 kroner
($1O8,OOG,O00). Much doubt exists in the
minds of Swedish bankers as to the advisa-
bilty of concentrating this huge deal with
the Bolsteviki, who offer a guaranty of gilt
edge securities and gold deposits up to IS
per cent of the total, but demand that the
Swedish governm mt furnish a guaranty Of
Is per cent.
The American consulate here is informed
authoritatively that nothing more will be
done regarding the transaction until after
the Genoa conference with Rksdage will
make it's decision. The Sovietsl expect to Sc
cure electric supnlies railway material and
farm machinery if the contract goes through.
