have a hundred working class families as the back bone. of
my trade than a hundred families from the ultra set. The

slow about it. They think nothing of letting their bills go

comes from a lack of starchy foods,
which the developing child needs in
abundance. When there is a lack
of it 1t draws on the liver and this
in turn causes the nausea and yom-
iting. The remedy is to eat more
starches and sugars. Eat cereals

and drink lots OF milk. Make your
self eat them at first rel If 1t is
hard, when the system is supplied
with what it needs you will cease to
be nauseated. Continue this through
out the whole period.
1t is abnormal to vomit after
every meal. and the doctor should
be told OF this. Also, tell him about
your diet and keep him aware of all
the change taking place. He should
see you at least once a month, and
oftener toward the end. Be sure
that he has a sample of urine once
a month during the first half of the
period, and every two weeks after
that. This is vitality important and
should not be overlooked.

The High o's of Niatrimony
By LORA KELLY

We have it on the word of an
eminent prima donna that if women
artists intend to marry they should
do it early and get it over with"
Running a job and q husband al
the same time is too great a task
even for a genius, she contends.
There are a few happy marriages
of this sort-always brought forth
to show that it can be DONE" she
says. But then, there are white
~blackbirds.
Love is theory and rsarr.age is
practice. Love seems necessary to
the artist in order that she may feel
her roles and sing with fire.
But marriage!-that is too prac-
teal. The wife must make a home
and see that 1t is managed properly.
She must care for her husband, feed
him. look after him, pour his Coffee
in the morning and season his food
as he likes 1t.
"A wife must be able to dress
prettily and go to the theatre, or din
ners and dances. She must entertain.
where a a prima donna find
time for all this? She must not
marry until she is ready to exchange
the thrills of the stage for the thrills
of the home"
This is strange advice considering
how frequently most noted stars,
both men and women, change their
legal spouses.
Their marriage marathons appear
to be run on the same system as
these cut-in jazz dances-you lust
keep step for a while till somebody
else rushes up and, "Tag, you are
it's"
All of which is another way of
saying that marriage seems to be a
good thing-in the past or future
tense.

LIQUOR KEEPS
DOCTORS BUSY
Many People Made Ill From
Using Moonshine as a
Spring Fever Tonic

Bad whiskey is making a lot
of people i'll in Elizabeth City.
Nearly every doctor in town
has been called on one or more
cases of liquor poisoning with
in the last few weeks. And
nearly every doctor knows the
history of several cases that
would be a surprise to the pub
lie, if the news got out. AT
least one woman is said to
have been made i'll from a
spree.
The sudden bad effects from liquor
in Elizabeth City show that distillers
are not careful in the manufacture OF
their stuff. From all over the Sec
ton come reports of topcrs who have
been taken sick In Norfolk. Virginia
where liquor is now flowing more
freely than in Il long time, there are
cases of deaths reported as having
resulted from illicit whiskey.
What has happened here. recently
is but in item, of what can be ex-
pected from liquor of doubtful quail
ity. The worst thing that could hap
pen from liquor made in crude stills
of galvanized and other poisonous
metals would be lcad-pOisOn. a
malady that takes its hold so insidi-
ously upon the human system. that 1t
throws the patient into blindness.

most before its presence is suspected.
According to the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannia. lead poisoning attacks the sys-
TEN thru the stomach and urinary
organs. The symptoms vary from
collie and constipation up to total
blindness and paralysis. An emf
ncnt medical authority describes the
disease as follows:
"Thc poison finds its way gradually
into the whole mass of the circulating
blood. and cxertS its effects mainly on
the nervous system, para!yzing nerve
force with its muscular power. Its
victims become of sallow. waxy
hue: the functions of the stomach and
bowels are deranged, appetite fails
and painful collie with constipation
supcrvcncs the victim soon
becomes useless for work. The palsy
will often extend to the shoulders

yolyed are the kidneys, the tissue OF
which becomes permanently damaged
