In Cleveland. as one of the few rel

the dime movie show,
These shows, of which only two or

among the few in large American
city which have withS ood the inroads
created by increased c,sts during the
European conflict.
These theatres, scarcely more than

in the day until midnight and on
hrough the wee morning hours.
Few patrons 20 to see the shows,
aoweser. The theatres have largely
taken the place Of the "two-bit flop
souse."
At any time during the day and
night, "drifters" may be seen asleep
there, catching few hours rest out
Of the desolate cold Of the streets.
Even after the banging piano ceases
at midnight and the lights are
dimmed, these men sprawl over the
seats-theSe men who are homeless,
penniless, but oftentimes not without
ambition.
And the managers have opened the
doors for them.
So when Uncle Sam Topped the one

Huddled together for warmth, like
SO many animals, the unemployed
men have found the hard bed of rest
in the broken, wooden seats of the
dime show.

ular snatches of food they bum"
They're dreamers, and they're hap

.hey look for the job which never

a long time, long wAile-until the
now is gone and they can sleep again
n the parks, in the open, anywhere,
but always with their boots on"
Nothing can crush their nebuolous
cloud Of hope which surrounds them
mot even the dusky janitor as he
drives them out when he starts clean

the day slumberers.

FALSE MODESTY

Last week in my papers ons con- stipation, I went into the causes ana gave you some general directions. told you physicians of some years ago related that it was not unusual TOT them to have many patients who gave a history of having evacuat1ons or the bowels but once a week and some times longer, and that apparently some of these patients were not d1s- concerted over their condition.
 cannot believe that a bowel move ment so infrequent as that could De consummated without great agony and tearing of the anal tissues. Thls straining and distension would also produce hemorrhoids and Assures. When there is no bowel movement for some time there is a packing down of the feces until they form rounded mass sometimes as large as chiId's head Intestinal specialists of today not infrequently have such cases.
 had one such case in my hospital experience. The feca1 matter was SC hard and of such an amount that II had to be broken up and delivered piecemeal, and the woman suffereo great pain even under those condi- | lions. Casanova speaks in his mem | oirs of the mortal agony he under went when he had a bowel movement after having had none for two weeks or so, when he was imprisoned in dungeon with no toilet facilities: and
 he referred to the sufferings caused by this experience years after.
 l We think a daily bowel movement is of enough importance that in hos | pitaI work it is customary for tht
