Control of Bright's Disease.

First. have your Bright's disease de-
tected before your health fails. This
may seem like beginning a hundred
years before your birthday to be well
born, but 1t is much easier than that.
All you have to do is report once a
year to your family doctor, and, like
the man who was informed that the
new doctor charged only So for the
second call, greet the doctor thus:
We'll, doctor, here l am again" And
let him see how you compare with
the specimen you We're year ago.
The average case of Bright's disease
(nephritis) endures for about Is years.
Without realizing that there is any
thing more than dyspepsia" "ner-
vousness," liver trouble sick head
ache" ''anemia" or .'biliousness" the
matter, the patient is liable to cut
himself off much sooner than that
the victim of Bright'S disease really
and truly digs his own grave with his
appetite. Not with his teeth. He
doesn't give his teeth enough to do.
1t is appetite that kills. We poor, ig-
norant. civilized beings are obsessed
with the fear OF starvation: we hur-
riedly eat more than we can meta
bolize, and the kidneys have to stand
the strain. The hardest thing doc
tor has to do is to persuade an invalid
or a near-invalid to skip meal.
A three or four day fast is the near
est thing to cure for diabetes yet
discovered. A one-day fast is wonder
fully helpful in acute Bright's disease
Ouraemia especially, and an occa-
sional fast enables the kidneys to
catch up when handicapped by
chronic Bright's disease. We vel,
come persons with Bright's disease
as members of the bread-andmilk
club. One day of bread-and-milll diet
in each week is a distinct advantage
in the treatment of the disease.
Be vegetarian il you have
Bright's disease. The apimal pro
teins place the heaviest /rain of all
foods upon the kidneys, and a veSe-
tartan diet can suppI energy and
endurance as well as meat does.
Wear lightweight knitted, all-wool
or wool-and-silk underclothing about
10 months in the year, with wool or
silk stockings. Not to protect from

HOW 1T STARTED
The Minstrel Show.
BY JEAN NEWTON

That the now popular minstrel show
Is an institution of American concep-
ton is to be assumed, for the negro
as character is, OF course, the prod
uct of America. But that the imper-
sonations which have sung and
laughed their way to popularity all
over the world were the outgrowth
Of a mans sentimental fancy, years
before the Civil War, is not generally
known, nor the peculiar circumstances
Of its beginning.
For years Ned Christy later world
famous as the originator of the min
strel entertainment, nursed heartfelt
desire to portray 10 the North the life
OF the Southern darkies, their plain
"'"S Songs and dances that had been
handed down through the generations
of negroes in America. In the Spring
of 1892 at q hotel in Buffalo he sud
the establishment that he give some
darky impersonations for the enter
tainment Of the ether guests. He had
come unprepared, but with the assist
anCe of the prOprietor'S son and an
other young man, scme burnt cork
and a banjo, violin, tambourine and
bones, he gave his darky show. 1t
met with 50 much favor at the hotel
that he repeated the performance
once or twice every daY for several
months.
That Summer he received his first
theatrical offer, which was speedily
followed by national and international
fame for the novel entertainment that
came from the South.

, Did you ever hear the story of
Jason and the Golden Fleece?"
Hawthorne tells it in a wonderfully
interesting manner in his 'Tangle-
wood Tales" which Is a book you will
want to read some day.
Jason was the son of the dethroned
king of Iolchos. When a very little
boy he was sent away from his par
ents and placed under the Queerest
schoolmaster that you ever heard of,
The name of this schoolmaster was
Chiron and he was a Centaur. Do
YOU know what Centaur is? A
Centaur is a queer person or animal,
it is hard to know which to call 1t.
To be perfectly correct a Centaur is
combination of both, half animal
and half person. 1t has the body
and legs of a horse and the head and
shoulders of a man.
Today We have picture of the boy
Jason in smock and sandals, which
should be made blue. Color his spear
a bright gold. His hair should be
golden and his eyes blue. Before
cutting out, mount on piece of
heavy paper such as the cover of a
magazine.

SUB ROSA
Bi MIMI.
Marrying an Older Man.

Dear Mimi: I am rather worried
over the fact that | don't care for the
society OF boys of my own age at all,
hue prefer much older men. Mother
says it doesn't mater now 50 much,
but that later, when l want to think OF
marrying Iii have to chose an older
man because l don't know many young
people any more Do you think it is
a very bad mistake to marry an older
' man-say ten years older than your
self? TRO UBLED'
OF course. Troubled, if YOU should
meet a man ten years older than
yourseIf-whom you loved devotedly
i should be the last person in the
world to advise you against marrying
him.
Love has overcome handicaps
3greater than age, and you're fairly
safe in following the instincts OF
your heart in such a case.
But looking at the matter from an
entirely impersonal cold -blooded
viewpoint, there are loads of points
10 be found against marrying that
older man.
For no matter how juvenile he may
nppear-no matter how much he may
love to dance now--no matter how
EOOu Il Sport lie llldy Dt Oli IL pcl -
the time will come when he'll tire of
these things, just as every one does
in the long run.
And because he's ten years older
than you are, he'll tire of them just
ten years sooner than you do.
And then what's going to happen to
YOU during those 10 years, when
you're still craving good times, and
he's put them on the shelf long ago?
L; 49,,
point. Naturally he has 4 more ma
ture, serious outlook on life than you
have in the first flush of foolish
youth. If you marry him, you'll find
sSourself gradually adopting his views
slowly molding your character to
conform with what he thinks digniied
and right.
In the process you'll grow older.
You can't help it. All the foollshness
and silly prattle that are a part OF
your makeup viii be put aside as
YOU strive to make yourself a fitting
mate for this grown-up man who has
done you the honor of marrying you.
He may laugh at your girlish folly
while you're engaged. But after the
orange blossoms have begun to wither,
he'll begin to demonstrate gently
when you behave like a silly young
thing. And because you want to make
snap out of the silly stage. and grow
old overnight, so to speak.
Youth is such a pleasant stage of
existence that it seems a pity to cut
1t short, even for so worthy a reason
as pleasing ones husband. Therefore,
it would be wiser to avoid a marriage
which will automatically make you a
mature, sophisticated woman before
you're 80.
Remember, if your heart speaks,
then marry the man you love, no
matter what his age. But if you are
considering this matter with no really
burning question in your heart. then
] should advise you to try running
about with boys your own age as
(nuch as possible.
Then when it comes time to set
tie down in the white cottage with
green blindS. perhaps you'll find some
one young ffaough TO keep you young
forever.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE
Libra.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
much more definite and settled than
those of today. They indicate good
influences throughout the day, with
a slight tendency to gloominess and
disappointment in the evening. There
are no stimulating vibrations that
will influence you to do anything out
or the ordinary, nor is there any
special success presaged for any
such efforts. There will, however, be
sensed strong urge to put your
best efforts into the ordinary work
or obligations of the day, and this in
itself will rob routine of it's Gus
tomary monotony. During the eve
ming it is probable that you will ex-
perience a keen feeling of dissatisfac-
ton without any apparent cause.
This can best be met by recreative
amusement, fortified by firm reso-
luton that sinister external infu-
ences shall not change your outlook
or affect to your own detriment your
actions.
Children born tomorrow will cause
great deal of worry during the pc
riod of infancy They will be sub
Ject to frequent ailments, none of
which, If proper care be taken, need
cause serious alarm. AS they ap-
proach the age Of adolescence they
will develop strength and vigor and
ultimately attain a physically normal
majority. In character and disposi-
ton they will be frank to the point
of bluntness. They will have a high
sense of honor and never stoop to
deceit or prevarication. Their hearts
will be guided by their heads and
they will never yield to impulse when
their judgment whispers, Don't"
They will not prove giants of intel
lectuality, but they will have an in
exhauStible fund of common sense,
and their inherent shrewdness will
by saving them from mistakes make
for their success.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are courageous, both physically and
temperamentally. You know nothing
of fear; are bold, venturesome and
energetic, and possess a wonderfully
strong will. At certain periods of
your life you have bitten off more
than you could chew. This, however,
has never deferred you from making
a hearty meal by the simple process
Of swallowing that which you could
not misticate. Your dominant force,
combined with compelling person
ality, carries you to the fore. and
when you are in a gathering of
friends or associates every one senses
your presence and recognizes you as
a leader in thought and action.
You always show a strong propen-
sity for amusement, and generally
choose lively, vivacious people for
your friends. The strength of your
character does not detract from your
lovableness.

Cloth Makers Look to Fur Animals
BY MARY MARSHALL.

French women were ordering these
fabric broadtail coats because 1t was
possible to get them at a lower price
than later when every one would want
them. This fabric broadtail is made of
silk and wool-you should see it to
know how plant and soft it really is.
Then there are new yelvets, printed
to simulate leopard and other furs.
Coats of this sort of velvet are now
worn by women in preference to real
fur because they are not so warm.
The sketch shows Il little suit made
of material Stimulating caracul.
Much OF this fur-fabric is made in
France. but some beautiful pieces OF
it are of American manufacture. In
this group IS heavily piled imitation
leopard OF amazing softness and ex-
quisite blending.
Mole skin is another peltry that
gives inspiration to the fabric makers
though perhaps the stimulation is
not so good as in the case Of the
leopard skin. Broadtail is perhaps the
most successfully initiated.

HOOKER.
VARIATION-Hoo
RACIAL ORIGiN-English.
SOURCE-A locality or given
name,
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NowLAS.

There are localities in Devon and
Hants, England, which bear the name
of Hook, and there is little doubt
but that in number of Instances the
family name of Hook merely indi-
Gates that it's earliest bearers at one
time had come from either of these
two places, if it does not indicate a
development from the Dutch name of
Van Hook, discussed elsewhere.
The place name, however, does not
explain the existence OF the family
name of Hooker. of which in man"
instances Hook may also be a short
ened form.
AS a matter of fact, the family
name of Hooker is virtually the same
as that of Hughes, for it comes from
the same given name or from varia-
tions Of that given name.
This was the Norman French form
of "Hucherer." II is interesting to
note here that though the Normans
spoke French, they We're of Teutonic
origin, and their nomenclature was
predominantly Teutonic, as witness
the corresponding forms of "Hucco,"
which is Anglo Saxon; "Hucke,"
which is German; "Huch," which is
Saxon; "Hoek," which is Dutch, and
"Hukr," which is Morse.
