Your Health
How to Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. M. METZENBAIM

BY DIR. M. METZENBAUM Hot days are swimming days So are holidays and Sundays, whe- ther they are hot or not. Our bathing beaches at any of these times are often as crowded as the ball parks.
 A congested mass of people po- lutes water with their natural ex- cretions. When water enters their mouths, they naturally spit it out along with the mucus in their mouths. When their noses fill with water they. of course, blow them.
 Excretions
 Excretions from the noses and mouths of most people contain but simple germs, usually not capable of causing harm to others. But person who has a severe head cold. or one with tonsilitis or sore throat IS laden with some of the most virulent germs known.
 When these germs are carried to the mucus membranes of the throat nose or eyes, of another person, an inflammation or infection probably will result.
 Some persons are known as germ carriers, in whose bodies gei'ms are present although they do not suffer from the disease. For instance, in many cases of diphtheria, after re- covefy apparently is complete and even after repeated doses of anti toxin have been given, cultures talk en from the throat usually show the diphtheria germ still present This conditions lasts two or three weeks after the patient feels per fectly well.
 Transmitting Disease
 Diphtheria, tonsilitis, head colds and some other diseases may be transmitted by carriers to healthy persons through the medium Of swimming waters. Sites, boils and infections of the ears also are spread this way.
 Approximations of saliva and mu- GUS at pools or bathing beaches often are proven directly account able for the appearance of dozens at single hospital or clinic within few days. all suffering from the same type of infection. The germs are found to be of the same type and the history of the patients will show that they were bathing at the same pool or swimming at the same stagnant beach.

A NEW JOB

Just then Joan came back on the eporch from telephoning and we could say no more.
 She immediately asked Jerry if he would book us passage on the next steamer early in the morning.
 "of course, will do that, Miss Meredith, if you think you will want 1t, but honestly if I were you would wait until knew some- thing about the settlement of the estate" ...
 Joan looked annoyed. I imagined It was the first time in her life that n man in the same station as her self in life had not started imme- diately at her command to make her wishes come true.

Reddy Fox had new respect for starfish. He felt that any fellow that could open an oyster was entitled to respect. But Jimmy Skunk is no re- spector of persons, so when Jimmy found a starfish that had become entangled in some seaweed and roll ed up on the beach by the water, Jimmy promptly decided to see if the the starfish would be good eat ing, So he got hold of one arm and pulled it off. Then he decided that he didn't care for starfish.
 If you are not going to eat him, what did you pull his arm off for?" inquired Reddy just as if he never

CHANGED ATTITUDES.
A divorced woman told me once that
the attitude Of her friends before she
took the decisive step, and after II,
was a completely different thing.
Beforehand they were all sympa-
'thetic in a vague sort Of way. "You
oughtn't TO put up with it," they told
her. You're letting him make a per-
feet door-mat out Of you"
Afterward, everything changed sud.

temperate, full Of good advice.

and all that. But after all, what
does one gain by making oneself per-
fectly miserable, and facing an open
scandal, and living all alone in a three
room apartment, while be is perfectly
happy at home with his mother?7
After the divorce we all know eI-
actly how it might have been avoided.
After the crucial illness we all assure
each other that we saw It coming on,
clearly. After the bankruptcy we re-
mind each other that we always said
the Smiths were riding for a fall.

or not, belong TO the why Doesn't
