PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. ID.

cal supervision, these patients are re-
educated, and perhaps they learn TO
look at life and their own feelings or
emotions in a. more wholesome way.
In short. in the modern hospital for
the insane the patients are taught
how TO live. just as are patients in the
modern hospital for tuberculosis.
The environment or atmosphere ir
the modern hospital for the insane is
cheerful and wholesome. No doubt
the average patient in such a hospital
derives much more amusement watch
ing the behavior of the tiuid, urso-
phistieated visitor than the visitor
gets in studying the behavior OF the
patients Indeed, many OF the patients
play up when they expect curious
visitors, for they enjoy the humor of
the situation.
One instance of many cited by Dr.
Earl D. Bond among the recoveries
observed in the Pennsylvania Hospital
for Mental and Nervous Diseases was
the case of a woman who did mediocre
work as a saleswoman. For five
months before entering the hospital
she was interested in nothing except
the delusion that her body was strong
and icy. In the hospital she thought
the emanations from her body made
others sick; she speculated much on
how she might hold the dream life" +"
On recovery she took up college
work. graduated from a school Of
dietetics and has for several years
been notably successful as chief
dietitian in a large general hospital
Another instance cited by DR.. Bond
was the case of man who since his
recovery has become head master of
a large school, a position which had
been quite beyond his attainment be
fore his mental illness.

sortes OF some neutral shade-beigs
or one of the new light bois de rose
shades or that creamy beige shade
that the French call nude. It was
In this way that despite the variety
OF colors used in the gay printed
material a unity Of tone might be Sc
cured. But now the rule seems to be
that hat and frock must match,
though other accessories may be Of
contrasting color.
This is a fashion not easily fol-
lowed. For despite the co-operat ton
Of fabric manufacturers, dressna kers,
milliners, etc, it is frequently difficult
to find hats that exactly match the
frocks you buy. Even blacks do not
all match, as you may have. found TO
your sorrow, and there are a dozen
different versions of the new deep. rich
blue that some people call cobalt
Veronese green has been apparently
agreed upon by dressmakers and mil
liners for an Autumn faVorite but
there are more varieties of this shade
than the Venetian painter ever mixed
upon his colorful palette.
One way to make sure of having
your hat match your frock is to have
it made to order from some of the
material from which the frock Is
made. This sort of maneuvering
seems to appeal more strongly to the
French woman than to the American,
who, though wishing to dress as well
as possible. seldom has sufficient pa,
tience to go about it in this manner.
Even though she is in the habit Of
having frocks and ensembles made to
order she rather resents the notion
OF being fitted to a hat She likes to
pick it of one of the standards in the
millinery shop. as casually as she
would pick roses in a June garden.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Afraid of Being Gold Digger.

Here's strange case, indeed
that of girl who worries herself to
death for tear of being gold digger
and wait till you hear the story.
She's been accustomed to only high
school boys. She's gone to dances
with them, spent evenings at the
movies with them, and dropped into
corner drug store on the way home
to have a soda.
F Occasionally, If one of the boys was
In funds, they'd go around to a tea
room and have sandwich and cup
of coffee. That represented the big
gest kind OF an evening,
Then suddenly along came an oldar
mana man with a. good job and
plenty of money-quite a nice fellow,
too, but with entirely different ideas
from those of the high school boys,
Being the sort of chap he was, he
very naturally asked her where she
wanted to go-and that was the first
blow. For. though she was a. born
New Yorker and knew the names of
all sorts OF places, she hadn't the
courage to mention them for fear
they would be too expensive.
So she suggested the movieS--and
he looked surprised. Still, he went
cheerfully enough and they had a
fairly jolly evening there.
After the show he asked her where
she'd like to have supper" Supper
Shed never dreamed Of such a thing.
SO she told him she'd rather have
just q soda at the corner drug store.
Now all this must have amazed him
and perhaps amused him the first
time.
After all. IT is rather a novelty to
meet a. girl who doesn't Immediately
pilot you into the most expensive and
noisiest restaurant in the town.
Only, you see, this chap rather
likes going TO more expensive places.
He's used 10 salad and a cup of
coffee and an Ice after the theater
That's his idea of a rather nice finish
TO the evening, and II this little girl
persists in sticking TO her soda foun-
tain and her movies his amusement
will turn TO disgust.
Her attitude is, of course, quite
commendable and Understandable
She doesn't want to make him
spend money on her-as she says.
'foolishly."
But he doesn't think that money
spent on good show and an excel
lent supper afterward is spent fool
ishiy.
He doesn't understand her attitude,
and as long as it deprives him of
what he regards as ordinary enjoy
ment he will resent it,
Since there is no harm in the sort
of evening he considers good fun,
there is no earthly reason why the
girl should feel timid about accepting
his attentions.
She should be adaptable enough to
fall In with his scheme of things
and not try-to make him conform to
high school standards.
Watch out for this in the older men
you meet, girls. Don't become alarm
ed and unhappy because some new
beau wants to spend more money on
you than you're accustomed to.
Gold digging is forcing a man to
spend money on you.
As long as there's no force EN-
pleyed you're behaving perfectly.

Recovery From Insanity

Many people still seem to have
slight touch of Billings complaint, re-
ferring to the question of recovery
from tuberculosis; they know that
once you contract the consumption
you're goner. The truth is that the
majority of persons who have tuber-
cuiosis do not succuub to the disease;
in fact, il the patient and his friends
have sufficient intelligence OF plain
sense to permit positive diagnosis
in the early or incipient stage and the
careful medical treatment of the dis
ease, recovery is the usual thing In
the course Of year OF two.
Most people have an impression
that persons who go insane are
doomed, that the mental disturbance
goes from bad to worse, and that any
apparent recoveries are only tempo
rary. and the victims soon break
down again. This popular belief is not
warranted by the facts. In the alb
senee of any great mass Of statistics,
we cannot speak definitely, but expert
ence justifes the assertion that at
the present time the individual who
goes insane has a one-to-four chance
of complete recovery and one-to,seven
chance of partial recovery, OF course,
this is only a rough average, and it
refers TO insanity in general. not to
any particular form of insanity.
OF 1924 patients treated in a hos
pital. for the insane, and whose cases
were followed for five years, 274 re-
covered and stayed we'll; 159 improved
greatly. 331 died and 260 remained
stationary or grew worse,
Not only may the insane patient
fully recover. but some people who go
insane subsequently get well and at,
tain higher level Of physical and
mental health than they have ever
had before. This is not attributable to
the insanity, of course, but to the
treatment, training and education
they receive in the hospital

HOW TT STARTED
"BY Rule of Thumb. :
BY JEAN NEWTON.

To speak of some one q 5 nlea suring
by rule of thum is to imply slipshod
methods, an uncertain. careless, hap
hazard way of doing anything.
The phrase is a relic of the old Gus
tom of measuring material by the
length of the thumb. As q matter Of
fact, in almost any workroom today
seamstresses of the old school can be
found who for lack of a tape measure
or out of force of habit will take
measurements by the length of their
fingers.
Nowadays it is the third finger,
however, rather than the thumb, that
is most popular for the purpose. and
a seamstress who was seen to use this
old-fashioned unit of easurement an
swered a remark that this could moi
be very exact with proof that mate
rial held by her third finger and meas
ured back as far as the knuckle meas
ured exactly one eighth of a yard. In
this instance therefore, by rule of
thumb was not haphazard or merely
approximate, as it is likely TO be in
most cases, and as is implied in the
igurative use of the phrase.

picious happenings for all those en-
gagged in operations of a financial

ton OF agreements, or the conclusion
of negotiations that for some reason

atmosphere promises to be very felici-
tous, and there will be experienced a
sense of cooperation which, in itself,
always promotes harmony.
a child born tomorrow will be very
healthy, and it's few infantile ailments
will readily yield to proper treatment.
The signs denote that on the brink of
the adolescent stage il will be liable
to have an. accident of a more or less
serious nature. Every care should be
taken toSinculcate in this child's mind
the folly OF taking chances, or the risk
of overtaxing it's strength The dispo-
lsition of the boy will be cheerful and
attractive. He will be loyal, generous
and clean-eut, and will develop into
good, useful and successful citizen.
The girl will be querulous, extremely
jealous, Unfortunately selfish and a per-
manent and self-appointed critic of

not all, of these faults can be eradi-
Gated by the proper training and cor
