PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. ID.

( This compromise accounts for much
Of the erratic diagnosis OF the day.
One cure was the case Of q railroad
engineer, aged 81 years. who on his
flrst examination showed several de
feCts and whose blank read early
arteriosclerosiS." This man was rather
proud Of his perfect health, as h
called il. and he laughed at the doc
tors efforts to find anything wrong
with him. In fact. he submitted 10
the examination only because the
company required certain employees
to have q periodic health teSt-a most
COmmendable requirement which ought
to be univerSay, ~ least for persons
who are responsible for the lives Of
others. as engineers are.
Among the findings in this engi-
neer's case were q overweight, ~ Il
young corporation. (3( increase of sys-
tohc pressure. a. two or three hyaline
casts, 90 delayed recovery Of heart
stability after - deep knee heXions,
and 90 poor color perception.
The doctor said the mans response
TO eXertion sounded like an engine
hauling q big load up a long grade.
| The engineer. like many Of his occu
patton. imagined he got sufficient
exercise pulling the throttle and
climbing over his engine. The doctor,
however, persuaded him to do some
regular 2YmnaStlc exercises, eSlle-
Cially exercises for the trunk muscles.
/ lie explained to the engineer how
/ harmful it is to overstoke . good en-
gine, and suggested a few stunts to
/ help the man cut down on the calories.
The doctor thought the poor color
! perception might be due 10 overin-
dul@ence in tobacco and advised the
engineer TO worry along on not more
than two small pipefuls a day.
The engineer was vain Of his ath-
letic figure and the doctor appealed
to that vanity by assuring the man
he could reduce his expanding waist
measure if he would do the exercises
regularly. The engineer did reduce
his waist also his blood pressure. On
the third examination, made about
six months later, the engineer passed
muster, every one of the six points
against him having been wiped out.
l call that a cure for arteriosclerosis.

Gossip.


Who has not been embarrassed by
the babbling of the unknowing, un-
thinking child? He tells something
we would never have thought Of tell
ing and covers us with confusion.
Mrs. Corn, mother says she doesn't
like your hair cut that way tall cause
it makes you look like rooster in
the back Isn't that awful?
Well, we should not have said it.
If the new hair cut hurt US to that
extent we should have kept our
wounds covered until we were safely
under cover of the barn or the bath
room or the cellar before easing our
pain. We cannot expect little children
to discriminate in topics of conver-
sation when we have hard work con-
trolling our own tongues.
That is bad enough but the worse
side is the gossip, whispers barely
masked so that the alert youngsters.
half knowing, half wondering, catch
and pass on to their chums in the
bosoms of other families. That is
scarcely fair.
In the first place it is almost I'm
possible to know the truth of any
thing that touches people deeply. We
nave a hablt, an instinct, or Seir pro-
lection that buries our hurts beyond
the depths Of our own consciousness.
We press them down and turn away
from them SO that we scarce know
the true faces Of them when they rise
again. How much less can we tell
others about them. And If the person
concerned cannot tell their own stories
accurately who can? Listen and COM
fort and be silent and your line will
be honored in days to come.

Sure Way TO Get Rid Of Dandruf

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
comb or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it; then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon !;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most. if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Being Hard Up."

When people have reached the end
of their resources, financially or other
wise. they are said to be hard up"
And if a question as to the ancestry
of this commonly used phrase has
ever occurred to us, probably the last
would be in the parlance of the sea.
Yet it is from the exigency of a situa-
ton which must be faced by those
who go down to the sea in ships that
we have the expression in common
speech.
When a ship is caught in q gale
which becomes SO fierce that she is
no longer able to "luff"-that is, keep
her head toward the wind-the navi-
gator puts her helm hard up to the
high side and let's the ship pay off.

words. when she is hard up she l.,

AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One mother says:
Little son had become the most
disreputa looking child in the
neighborhood, not caring a whit how
soon his clothes and hands and face
became dirty. Finally | said: 1T
costs me ) cents TO have one of your
blouses iaundered. l will pay for 4
reasonable number each week, and if
you soil more than that, you must
pay me cents for each extra one
from your spending money" At once
he became more careful and soon the
number of blouSes he soiled did not
exceed the other children's number.
