GENEvIEvE

ENEVIEVE signifies white wave.
VI II has the same origin as Gwen,
which is considered the British Venus.
The planet is Seren- w ener, as morn
ing star, Gweno as an evening star.
Teutonic etymologists have tried to
construe Genevieve as combination
of gan (magic) and yaips Ga CROWN,
but without success.
History has Established the fact that
the first Genevieve was Gaul born at
Nanterre I'm 400 and could scarcely
have been given anything but Celtic
or a Roman name, and the whole fam
ily of Ovens were dear to the Cymric
race. whose religion was the same as
the Gauls' and Britons.
Genevieve was shepherdess like
loan of Arc, who anticipated her
deeds of patriotism. though she wore
no armor and carried no sword. When
Paris was besieged by the Franks she
walked forth unarmed in search OF
provisions and her heroism so Inn
pressed the savage Franks, that they
granted her entreaties that the wound
cd he shared. When she died she was
erected into the primary patron saint
of Paris and is adored as such by all
Parisiennes down from Anne Gene

BLACK CATS TAIL
Blu II. IRDING KING

TN ONE section they put three hairs
= from the tip of black cats tail
upon a felon to cure it; in another
they cure sty by rubbing it with the
tail of black cat in still another the
tip of the tail of black cat drawn
nine times across the eye will cure
sly; and so on. A black cats tail is
a favorite curative agent in many
parts of the land.
Here we see again our old friend
the mystic black cat, sacred in the
Egypt of the Pharaolis for her rela-
ton to the moon-goddess, Isis. both
because of her moon-like eyes and be-
cause of her faculty of catching rats
in the "granary of the world" and
thus helping In the perpetuation of the
work of Isis as the inventor of agri-
culture. In the black cat cure we have
remnant. then. of moon worship-an
appeal TO Isis. Why the tail of the
cat? Because the tail of cat is like
brush: with it we can brush away
things Here comes in homeopathic
of Initiative magic We brush the eye
nine times with black cats tail and
we not only appeal for relief to Isis
but we brush away the sly. Like
produces like.
During the Ashantee war the women
of the coast towns whose husbands
had gone as carriers with the British
forces assembled and waved horses
tails that the enemies their men were
TO encounter might be swept away.
Three hairs from cats tail upon a
felon TO cure it Is mild dose of the
same magic. The brushing away quail
tiles of the tail are communicated by
the hairs thereof. 1t is not as far
fetched as it may at first appear to go
back to Egypt for the origin of cur
rent superstitions; for Greece bor-
rowed from Egypt. Rome borrowed
from Greece and from Rome the world.

A GOOD STORY FROM DR.
CHARLEY MAYO

WHEN a newspaper runs an item
w on the first page you may be
sure that it's what a newspaper man
would call good story"
When all the newspapers that get
it put it on the first page, you can
know that it's mighty good story.
In recent talk before a Kiwanis
club Dr. Charley Mayo, one of the
celebrated Mayo brothers of Roches-
ter, Mimi, made two statements that
every newspaper considered front
page story.
Doctor Mayos statements are
known to all intelligent physicians,
yet to the newspaper men and the
general public they were evidently
astonishing.
Doctor Mayo said that the warfare
against human disease had made
greater progress during the last TWEEN
ty-five years than in the preceding
twenty-five hundred years. This is
not mere figure of speech. 1t is
literally true. While much of our
knowledge regarding the causes of
disease was discovered from 1850 to
1900, the practical application of this
knowledge has been made in the last
twenty-five years. In this period, yell
low fever has been practically wiped
out, Asiatic cholera, typhus fever,
bubonic plague, leprosy, malaria, ty-
phoid, hookwOrm and many other of
the great epidemic diseases that for
centuries have killed millions of peo-
pie, have been greatly reduced and
can now be largely prevented in CIV
ilized countries.
Doctor Mayo's second statement
was that If every person were care
fully examined once year, so that
unsupported diseases might be
checked in the beginning. greater
progress would be made in the pre-
vention of disease in the next twen-
ty-five years, than has been made in
the last twenty-five years.
This statement is also strictly true.
Our governmental organizations, city,
state and national, have largely taken
over the control and prevention of
epidemic diseases. The great problem
of today is the control and proven
ton of personal diseases. These can
some of them be cured, but they can
practically all be prevented, if taken
early enough.
The good farmer overhauls and re-
pairs his machinery at least once a
year. Every sensible man has his
watch cleaned and regulated that
often. Have your body machine
looked over and adjusted every year
and it win run easier and better and
there will be less danger of break
down.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DIR. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
WHY MEN CRACK

TN most interesting book, recently
= published, Behind the Scenes In
Politics." the author tells many Sc
crets of persons and events in the
big political game. One chapter he
calls why Men Crack"
He says: Il have drawn up list
of $50 men have known who had
a good chance to reach the top and
who have sunk and are all through.
l have checked off the list with the
various causes which / believe make
men crack and the result is as | ex-
pected. Ninety-seven Of these men
fell down because of lack of health.
A few of these were sudden break
downs. One promising playwright
was hit by tuberculosis. One man of
first rank promise In national affairs
was taken to the side lines on account
Of Bright's disease. Two coming
bankers were driven into retirement
by the same affection. A few had
their health blown up with sudden
loud bang.
But that is not the rule. Most
men who crack because of lack of
health crack slowly and noiselessly.
The picture is the tragic one, of men
who at thirty or forty were off the
ground and had shown speed and d.
rection. AT forty-five, their engines
We're missing fire; at fifty, they were
looking for landing place, and at
tifty-five they are down on their roll
ers for good.
Whats the matter with them? If
a doctor looked them over he'd say.
Why didn't you come to me % years
ago? | can't make you over. You're
like an old watch. There's nothing
particular the matter with you but
everything is wrong. You've worn
out your machinery. You have over
eaten and plugged your body with
stimulants, not only tobacco and al
cohol but caffeine and sugar. You
have slept with your mouth open and
let months go by when your skin has
never been wet with sweat. You have
let your organs slip down, until your
chest and your stomach have snapped
girths. You don't drink enough wa
ter. You take cathartics. You neg
lect your teeth. On top of everything
else, you have been irregular. You
take irregular meals, irregular sleep,
irregular work, irregular play. All
your machinery is twisted. You
never would have neglected your mo-
tor as you have neglected yourself.
Now you're paying for it,"
This writer is not doctor; he's.
not a health faddist. He is a prac-
teal, cold-blooded politician, telling
why many men of promise fail at the
critical period.
When are you going to crack? That
depends on how you are living now.

Jack Frost jumped up and ran
