SECRETS OF HEALTH
BY CHARLES A. L. REED, NJ d.
4. L. REED, M. D.

The myxedema was promptly
relieved!
That showed that there was
something in the thyroid gland
that had powerful influence on
nutrition and that could be con-
trolled for the correction of the
error of nutrition present in myxe-
denia.
But to procure fresh glands
from animals and to get them
safely grated into the bodies of
these. patients was always diff
cult, sometimes impracticable, and
If not carefully done was dan
gerous.
Then Murray found a way to
extract this something now known
as thyroid extract from the thyroid
gland so that it could be preserved
indefinitely and could be admins
tered to these cases like any other
remedy.
Formerly they were entirely
hopeless. Now they are success
fully treated by this powerful
remedy which, however, is a rem
edy so powerful that it must. be
given carefully and only under
professional supervision.
The very opposite condition Of
the thyroid gland and its conse-
quences will also make an inter-
esting story. - ..

that the girl had idealized him and

| THAT FAIL
Noted Lecturer and Authority on
Educational and Sociological
go. Subjects.
By VIM. A. McKeever-

A. BOY and girl grew up in
AZ the same neighborhood, fell
4 in love, planned an ideal
future, married and went to work.
Everything started out well, but
it did not end well. Today, after
trying to live together six years,
they are separated. What is the
matter? Who is to blame7
The young man was a hard
worker; secured a small grocery Of
his own, induced his young wife to
become a clerk and even asked
her to take in some sewing to help
out on finances. She loved neither
Of these kinds of words, so it broke
her down physically and mentally.
Then her love for her husband
went into the discard.
No one can be happy long at a
time unless privileged to live for
an ideal of his own choosing.
Failure OF parents and teachers
to make this matter plain to
growing children in school and
out is at the bottom of the fail
ure of:many a marriage.
If the young man had only
said, "Now. my dear, running a
store is my ideal. What is yours?
Let us find your work and let
us live together; each in a part
nerShip to assist the other to
carry out the happiest desire Of
a daily occupation"
If the two had only entered into
the marriage bond with such an
understanding the rest would
have been easy.
The matter must be referred
back to parents and teachers.
Women no longer belong to men.
Wives are. not the property or
husbands. The modern helpmate
is one who helps her husband on
a $3.50 basis. The major task OF
each Is to be self-chosen. Each
is to help, but not hinder, the
other.
If wife wishes to obtain en-
ployment Of kind that entices
her mind and heart. that is per-
haps the very matter which VIII
in the end bring the greatest
amount Of peace and satisfaction
to tho young household.
Parents must learn. There Is
an endless trail Of tragedy hidden
behind the life of many a man or
reputed success. but who adhered
to the ignoble ideal that a wife
is mere property.
Parents must learn that mat
tiers are now different: that
women are being recognized as
full-fFedged human beings: that
they are working toward a form
Of, complete independence: that
this new age for their sex does
not mean a denial of marriage,
but merely new type of mar
riage agreement, that marriage Is
to mean freedom of the wife to
do her own work quite as much
as freedom of the husband to do
his work, that such a form o.
agreement will in time bring us
a higher and better type of home
and, parenthood.
Teach youths that their mar
riage-to COMETS to bring pre-
cisely this problem of a $3.50
agreement. each to help the other
equally to find his or her work
and pursue it. and yet both to
live +hH ~oore happily in the mar
riage bond.

CAR TRACK CURBING
WILL BE REMOVED
No More Like That on Connecticut
Avenue Will Be Laid, Citi-
zens Assured.

The curbing along the car track S
on Connecticut avenue. from Newark
to Porter streets, will be removed at
the earliest opportunity, and no more
such curbs will be laid by the engi-
heer department.
This assurance was given Capt. r.
T. Norcross. who appeared before the
Commissioners today as representa-
tive Of the Connecticut Avenue Citi-
zens' Association.
Mai. f. $. Besson. who acted as
Engineer Commissioner for the first
time since Col. Keller announced his
resignation, explained that without
such 4 curbing along newly paved
suburban thoroughfares the car com
panies will have to pave the track
space. This. ne said will increase
the operating expenses OF the COM
panies and prevent p possible reduc-
tion in car fare In the future.
The acting engineer commissioners
cited the case of Bladensburg road
as an example Of where the cost OF
paving the track space in connection
oughfare would practically Fender
the Washington Interurban Railway
Company bankrupt
That company. he pointed out has
asked permission to take up its
tracks and establish motor bus serv-
ice The appropriation which the
District has for paving the roadway
is not adequate to include the paving
of that part Of the highway now oc-
cupied by the car tracks If they are
taken up.
The result will be that if the track s
are removed the District will have TO
lay a curbing to inclose the center
space where the tracks were.
