YOUR BABY AND MINE
SYMPTOMS
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. H. c. writes:
1 have been reading your column
In the paper and 1 wish you would
publish the answer to my questions
What symptoms does a person have
with diabetis and Bright's disease
and neuritis? What is the cause and
cure for neuritis? Is iodine good for
pyhorrea? Would like an answer as
soon as possible.
Answer
Your questions are entirely outside
of my sphere of usefulness, since l
only try to help with problems OF
children. If you think you have
either Bright's disease or diabetls
you must be having some trouble
with the amount or kind of urine
passed, and in that case there is only
one thing to do, and that Is have an
examination by physician and be-
gin treatment and diet Immediately
Diet has so much to do with the cure
of this disease that the quicker you
get about "eating" right, the quicker
you can be relieved of your trouble.
Neuritis is, as its name indicates,
"a sore nerve. This may come from

BY LORA KELLY
Exercising Mirth Control


A. noted American artist has re-
turned to our shores after an extend
ed trip abroad and says that there
are many handsome men in England,
but refuses to comment on the
beauty of the women.
Now just what does he mean by
that?
Did the English lassies refuse to
fall for his own peculiar style Of
beauty and he is getting revenge?
Or is it the age-old tendency of
men to stick by one another, even to
the question of manly looks?
We herewith offer our British Sis
ters a crumb of comfort, if they
happen to need 1t, which they proba-
bly, don't. But the fact is that the
men here say pretty much the same
thing here, except that they are even
more frank about it.
1t isn't until they get far away
from home that they begin to brag
about our looks, our brains, our wit,
our cleverness in general.
But the remarks they make in the
privacy of our own front porches are
not noticeable for their restraint.
Any domestic tragedy of minor
proportions makes a fine topic of
conversation when the neighbors
come to call. especially If the wife
happens to be the victim.
It's a familiar tune. It ripples
along something like this:
"She read in one of these baked
bean magazines how to clean feath-
ers. Well, she gather up all the
cushions around the place-wait a
minute, who's telling this yarn? Then
she empties them on the back porch
all in a heap. Just then wind came
along and"
You can guess the rest. 1t is a
merry occasion for everybody but
the heroine of the story.
The average husband believes that
not brevity but frankness is the soul
Of wit.
Frankness and pretty compliments
to the ladies are difficult matters for
man to reconcile.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN

By MARY ADRIAN

Another mother whose sympathy
and talents helped to give the world
one of its greatest musicians was the
mother of Charles Francois Gounod,
famous French composer, chiefly
known to the public as the composer
of the score of Faust" and of many
sacred songs, in particular the Ave
Maria that is most frequently
heard.
The mother in this case had more
than merely a sympathetic under
standing of her sons talents and
ambitions. She was herself a musi-
clan of some accomplishment, and
was particularly distinguished as a
pianist. Hei talent was passed down
in an even greater measure to her
son, and she took great delight in
giving him his early instruction.
She taught him all she knew, and
then, as so often the case in stories
of artists and musicians, the pupil
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-17

outstrlpped the teacher, and needed
further instruction. In this case.
however, there was none of the jeal-
ousy so frequently manifested. The
mother was beside herself with de-
light, and made every eLort to pro-
vide the best instruction possible for
her boy. She struggled. for they
were more or less impecunlous. to
send him to the conservatory, and
his progress there more than justi-
fed her efforts.
They were bound together by the
strongest tie in the world--a mutual
interest. There was nothing that
they loved more than to discuss the
musical problems that came up, and
of course they were able to help each
other enormously. A mutual SYM
pathy made life a happy thing for
them both.

of Thomas Gray.
