CONSTITUTION AND
DISEASE

ONE of the reasons why the old fam
~ lily doctor enjoyed the unlimited
trust and confidence of his patients
was that "he knows my constitution"
And small wonder! In the old days
when doctor, as a young man just
out of his medical school, settled in a
town and stayed there till his death,
1t not infrequently happened that he
would carry children through the
years of childhood, be present at their
wedding, bring their children into the
world and care for them until they in
children. In many cases, in which the
doctor lived and practiced to a ripe
old age, 1t not infrequently happened
that the same man would attend and
care for three or even four genera
tons. He knew them and he knew
their parents and their grandparents.
If he didn't "know their constitution"
who did? He studied not only the dis
eases but the patients. He not only
knew what disease they had, but how
each patient would react to each dis
ease; whether his resistance was good
or poor; whether, at a critical stage,
the patient would rally and fight to
the end or whether he would go to
pieces from lack of fighting blood in
his ancestors.
Since the middle of the last century,
scientific men have been so occupied
in finding the physical cause of each
disease that little attention has been
paid to the patient himself. Yet it is
plain that the physical condition of
the patient is after all the most i'm
portant factor. Possibilities for in
lection are everywhere present. Each
of US is exposed every day to pneu-
monia, influenza and probably, in
large cities, especially, to smallpox.
measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and
other infection. Why don't we all
take them? Obviously because there
is a difference in us.
SO DR.. George Draper in a recent
address before the medical society of
the state Of Pennsylvania, says we
must come back to the point of view
of our grandfathers and begin to pay
more attention to the condition and
the hereditary peculiarities of the pa
tient himself; what, for want of bet
ter name, we call our constitution-the
point wherein we differ from our
neighbors. This, he says, is the sum
total of the hereditary characters and
personal peculiarities, Influenced by
environment, which determines the in
dividual reaction to disease.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
%. 1925. Western Newspaper Union)
HEALTH OF THE PRE-
SCHOOL CHILD

MUCH has been written and
AV printed in recent years about
the infant, its care, and protection
from disease. Quite as much has
been written about school children.
Obviously, both the dangers and the
safeguards Of the nursing infant and
of the child old lgh to go to
school are essentially different. In
between these two classes Is what
has come to be known as the pre-
school child, implying that the child
Is too old to be regarded as baby,
but not old enough to go TO school.
This class is also called, by DR.. Will
liam Palmer Lucas of San Francisco.
the runabout child or the child that
is old enough to run around the house
and not yet old enough to be subject
to school restrictions.
This period is variable in the case
Of different children, but generally Is
taken as extending from the second
to the sixth year. It Is the dividing
period between the time when the
child Is limited entirely to the home
and home influences and the time
when, as school child, its health and
well being passes largely to the
school authorities. It is, in way,
neglected age as the mother, bur
dened with household duties and the
care, perhaps, Of still younger chill
dren, has often little or no time to
devote to 1t and it is still too young
to be given any attention by the
teacher.
Yet 1t is probably the most impor-
tant period in the child's life. In the
years from two to six, infant defects
are most apt to develop. Errors in
nutrition are common. Dental de-
fects are also numerous, as the first
teeth are often neglected and the per-
manent teeth are just appearing. Eye
weaknesses are beginning to show, as
the child is beginning to use its eyes.
Any Of these defects, II found and
corrected during this period, not only

ing into school without any physical

its chances Of doing good work in
school. In fact it has been found that
Is per cent of children who fail of
promotion in the first school year are
almost entirely those children who
come into school with some defect,
which could and should have been
remedied.
Not only is the preschool child apt
to have eye and teeth defects, but it
may also have adenoids and diseased
tonsils, defects Of posture, and heart
troubles due to contagious diseases
it has acquired in the first six years.
It's mental condition should also be
carefully tested before the child is
sent to school. So that all-around,
careful examination of every child be-
fore the school age is Of the great
est practical Importance.

heavily, without breath of sound
1t was not cold, but it was still-so
still that Baree and Maheegun trav-
eled only few yards at time, and
then stopped to listen. In this way
all the night-prowlers Of the forest
were travelling, If they were moving
at all. 1t was the first of the Big
Snow.
To the flesh-eating wild things of the
forests, clawed and winged, the Big
Snow was the beginning Of the winter
carnival of slaughter and feasting, Of
wild adventure in the long nights, of
merciless warfare .on the frozen trails.
The days Of breeding, of motherhood
the peace of spring and summer
were over; out of the sky came the
Weakening Of the Northland, the call
of all f1esh-eating creatures to the long
hunt, and in the first thrill of it living
things were moving but little this
night, and that watchfully and with
suspicion.
Baree and Maheegun felt the exeit-
ing pulse of a new life. 1t lured them
on. 1t invited them to adventure into
the white mystery of the silent storm !;
and inspired by that restlessness of
youth and its desires, they went on.
The snow grew deeper under their
feer. In the open spaces they waded
through it to their knees, and it con-
tinued to fall in vast white cloud
that descended steadily out of the sky.
1t was near midnight when it stopped.

sides these there are sports and semi.
sports styles, which are countenanced
by the mode for travel and general
wear, and distinctly sports types
which are not so generally useful.
Among the dressier utility coats
there are two varieties that have been
the choice Of many sensible women ;
they are the cleverly designed coats
of navy twill and black satin coats
often with a white fur collar, like the
model pictured here. The satin coats
are quite simply designed, as rule,
with the straight silhouette predoml-
mating, but they are varied by the in

The clouds drifted away from under
the stars and the moon, and for long
time Baree and Maheegun stood with
out moving, looking down from the
bald crest of a ridge upon a wonderful
world.
Never had they seen so far, except
in the light of day. Under them was
plain. They could see its forests,
lone trees that stood up like shadows
out of the snow, stream-still I'M
frozen-shimmering like glass with
the flicker of freight on it. Toward
this stream Baree led the way. He no
longer thought Of Nepeese, and he
whined with pent-up happiness as he
stopped halfway down and turned to
muzzle Maheegun. He wanted to roll
in the snow and frisk about with his
companion; he wanted to bark, to put
up his head and howl as he had
howled at the Red Moon back at the
clbin.a
Something held him from doing
these things. Perhaps it was Mahee-
guns demeanOr. She accepted his at
tentions rigidly Once or twice she
had seemed almost frightened; twice
BARGE had heard the sharp clicking of
her teeth. The previous night, and
all through tonight's storm, their COM
panionship had grown more intimate,
but now there was taking it's place a
mysterious alOofness on the part of
Maheegun. Pierrot could have ex-
planned. With the white snow under
and about him, and the luminous moon
and stars above him, Baree, like the
night, had undergone transforma-
ton which even the sunlight of day
had not made in him before His coat
was like polished jet. Every hair in
his body glistened black. Black
That was it. And Nature was trying
to tell Maheegun that of all the crea-
lures hated by her kind, the creature
which they feared and hated most
was black. With her it was not ex-
perience, but Misunderstanding her of
the age-old feud between the gray
wolf and the black bear. Until they
