Health Hints
By Bernarr Macfadden.

In all acute diseases. regardless OF
what they may be, the functional sys-
tenn is taxed to its utmost In elimt-
mating impurities. It has no time to
digest food-no need for food. Proof
positive that food, either liquid or
solid, eaten under these circum-
stances, does not nourish the body In
the slightest degree is seen clearly
in all fever patients. No matter how
much food they eat, their bodies con.
tinue to waste Just the same. In feet.
it will nearly always waste still
more when food IL given, because the
process of recovery Is prolonged un-
der these unnatural circumstances.
The process. Of curing the body OF Its
disease is compelled to cease In order
to rid itself Of the material that Is
forced into an unwilling and unpre-
pared stomach. Thus q body alrea eady
overloaded with an excess of food
must be subjected to the outrage OF
being compelled to free itself from
the additional impurities created by
incomplete and imperfect digestion
always produced when food is eaten
under these abnormal conditions.
The muscles of the arms, legs and
every part OF the body are frequently
SO weak in illness OF this character
as to be almost incapable or act!oa,
and stiiI patients have that incomOres

Like the family name Of Aaronson,

had no system of family nomencla-

countries of Europe when they finally
did adopt family names they fol-

the people around them.
AS matter of fact, Jewish family

worry. Just make it your business
to know.
1t is always we'll to remember that
children have their reserves. There
are things that they cannot tell you
or any one else. They have no words
for them yet. There are stormy feel
ings that rush upon them and bring
confusion to their tongues when they
try to stammer out the meaning Of
them. Better let such things rest.
1t isn't wise to go poking about in
the heart of a child to disclose what
he wishes to cover.
But I am afraid he is doing some-
thing that is not right" That's pos
sible. pidn.s you? Don't you see
that you can't force a child to give
you his trust? Trust must come with
out forcing. Ii you fear he Is doing
wrong, you will not help matters any
by insisting that he tell you.' He
won't. He will only close the door
the tighter.
Let them have their reserves. If
you find yourself suddenly shut out
side their lives, there is nothing to do
but be patient and show them that
you are there waiting to help when
they need 1t. If you see q chance to
help, take it and do what you can
without Gliding.
It's our gibing and chanting that
make the children shunt us off; that
and our prying. 1t Is better to let
them alone as much as possible, set
the stage for their welfare and leave
the rest to the Providence that
watches over children.

snow had packed down or had formed
an icy crust, Little Joe was in high
spirits.
He sometimes made long journeys
overland, going from one brook to
another. or to a pond. Whenever ne
was making one of these journeys he
would slide down every slope he came
to. That was great fun. Sometimes
he would bound along and then throw
himself forward and slide on his
stomach just as a boy runs and slides
on the Ice.
But his greatest fun was on the
slippery slide he had made down q
steep bank of the Laughing Brook
where the water didn't freeze. Ever
and ever SO many times day he
would slide down that and splash into
the water. 1t was great fun. 1t was
such fun that he really couldn't under
stand why he was the only one who
did It..
"This is great weather" cried Little
Joe to Billy Mink, who was watching
him slide: Come on and try my
slippery slide!"
Billy Mink shook his head. 'It
looks like a lot Of fun" said he, "but
l don't know how to do It,"
I'll show you," replied Little Joe
otter. and away he went down the
slippery slide.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Today insures success in any un-
certain action and whatever decision
is made will undoubtedly prove val
liable. provided action is taken before
3:l5 pm, as after that hour. the as
poets are of adverse nature.
A child born today. will be Un.
responsive, but bright and easily in
structed.
You are quiet and reserved If today
is your birthday, and you hold your
self aloof from the world and follow
your own bent in the solitude of your
own thoughts.
Indeed, you are not to be commits
Grated. for you lead an interesting
life. Your mind is very active and
constantly thrilled with new studies
and discoveries. You never probably
suffer from boredom. Your natural
curiosity alone would make any ennui
You have a distinct talent for eio-
cution and sufficient sense of the dra :
matte to say what you do with all
the force of the thought and some
times more.
You are genial in disposition and
rather more generous to others than
they frequently deserve, but this is
not likely to bother you, as your con-
duct is naturally good and you are
not looking for gratitude.
With all the coldness of your mind
your interests are unusually wide and
varied-probably because you do not
like to admit that there is anything
on earth that you cannot understand:
You are upright and honorable and
Just and affectionate, but nevertheless
you lack something human In your
makeup which will not be supplied
until some one Of the opposite sex
comes along and changes your whole
outlook on life. Although this may
prove a difficult problem, 1t will be
achieved only through a great ana
steadfast love. -..,
