Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS F1SHBE1N Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hypeia. the Health Magazine

When a person is resting. his or gans carry on certain body 1unc- tions that are necessary to life. The glands secrete, the heart beats the breathing goes on.
 AS result there is consumption of oxygen, a formation of carbohlc acid, an expenditure of energy and the production of heat. The expendi- ture of energy is minimal, because 1t is necessary only for the carrying on of the automatic functions of life.
 When the individual is awake, he carries on other activities, such as involve motion of muscles which are superimposed upon the fundamental and automatic activities. If the in dividual is in a cold room, 1t is necessary for the body to develop heat to keep the individual at a normal temperature.
 Allowing for Atmosphere
 Obviously, an attempt to measure his basal metabolism will take into account this factor and he will be provided with a sufficiently warm atmosphere to make it unnecessary for the body to produce heat for that purpose.
 The quantity of heat produced during the time when the individual is in perfect repose depends also on the weight of the individual and the total surface of his body. These fac tors are, of course, correlated. The greater the extent of the surface of
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

the body. the more the person is ex- posed to cold or change in tenn perature.
 Medical investigation has shown that the basal metabolism of the individual varies according to the automatic activities of the body. In some. glandular disturbances, particularly of the thyroid gland, the basal metabolism is increased. due to hastening of the body functions. In other conditions, when the glands are inactive. the basal metabolism may be lowered.
 Another Deciding Factor
 Thus science has available another measurable factor with which to de- termine the state of health of the human body and it's ability to re- spond ot various stresses.
 The fact that conditions are measurable and that they occur again and again in the same way, under the same circumstances, means scientific fact Such things are not to be classed with beliefs.

Phil Vcritzen Calls a Recess
 From Work

At Lillian's plaint that everybody In her neighborhood acted as if he were dead and buried, there came a flash into Philip Neritzen's eyes which 1 fancied spelled piqued in terest in her accusation. He is the type Of man who cannot bear that any of his intimates shall find him remiss in either hospitality or ideas for entertainment, and I guessed that absurdly enough he felt per sonally responsible for Lillian s dudgeon.
 That is a most sweeping accusa- tion," he said, and one which l re- sent both for Mrs. Graham, he bowed to me-''and for myself. But since you have made 1t, l must give you proof of its falsity. And l really have q guilty conscience. l have been so busy enjoying myself that have not considered my friends as I should, But, my dear Lillian, consider me at your service until we shall have conquered your ennul."
 Philip Veritzen, NJ D., raiser of low spirits:' Lillian gibed. But I warn you I'm hard-boiled. You have no cinch.
 "On the contrary, l think I have your medicine right in my case he retorted. What you need is to have som ebody sling g. party for you isn't that what I've heard you call it? Behold the somebody before you! I'll sling you any kind Of party YOU name, land. sea or air day or night. Just Indicate your preference and I'll provide 1t for as many guests as you can name"
 Lillian crossed the room and, put ting her hand upon either side of his face. pulled his head down and kissed his forehead with burlesqued solemnity. Then across his bent head she sent me so expressive d wink and Cheshire cat grin of tri- ,umphant accomplishment that I al- most choked in my effort to control my laughter.
 Nobody could speak fairer than that" she said, releasing him. You always were a good egg, Phil, even

Jack and Staley were great friends.
 Quick footsteps came around the house and Pat opened the screen door.
 Well, I'm all set." he announced. tossing his hat up on the hooks be- side the door. "Roy's given me job in the garage-and he and Sadye are going to stand up with us when we're married. They're going to give us a little blowout at their house tonight, too. Isn't that kind of them :? They're the salt of the earth. Lily
 Yes, they're very nice people" his mother said quietly. But Mrs. Jefferson wears her skirts too short. It doesn't look right for a grown woman to show that much of her body-she wears them almost to her knees"
 She glanced at Lily's skirt that was just above here, as she sat in the kitchen chair. But Lily did not notice her glance. She was looking at Pat and frowning. . She didn't want to go to the Roy Jettersons that night. She didn't want to be friends with that faced, pink woman who was such a great friend of Elizabeth Ertz.
 She opened her lips to say 50 when she remembered something she had said to Pat only day or two before: T shall love your friends just because they ARE your friends"
 She had said that and she must stick to it. . for a while at least.
 Al right What time do they ex- pect us?" she asked, docile and sweet as an obliging and obedient child. And what shall l wear?"

 On the top of the chiffonier were Pats military brushes and a tin of pomade for his dark, unruly hair, that never lay smooth and shiny, no matter how much he brushed 1t. Be- side these things was a package of cigarets and a box of matches.
 When Lily opened the door of the kitchen a second later she had q lighted cigaret between her beauti- ful, painted lips, and carried the package in her hand.
 She sat down on a chair just in- side the dor, crossing her slender legs in their pale yellow stockings and blowing clouds of blue-gray smoke towards the ceiling.
 Lets see," she said musingly. "I suppose I ought to call up Sue Cain and ask her to come to my wedding. She's my best friend.'
 MrS. trance opened 1ne oven door and took out a pan of the bis cults, golden brown and shining with butter. She set them on the top of the "hot closet" of the big white enamel stove, and put a pan of un- baked ones into the oven"
 'Is that the Sue Cain who rides so much?" she asked, giving Lily and the cigaret smoke-clouds a look that Lily did not see. "I often notice her name in the paper"
 Yes, that's the Sue Cain," an- swered the girl, absently. She was wondering how Sue Cain would take this marriage of hers. Would she still be her best friend. or would she think that she ought to be loyal to Staley and drop her? -. Sues

DOUBTS VALIDITY OF
NEW DIVORCE ACT
Judge Ballard of Carson City
Questions Constitutionality
of Three-Month Residence
Provision.
Nevada State Journal)

CARSON CITY, July Stat
ing from the bench of the district
court this morning that he had
grave doubts as to the constitu-
tionality of the act passed by the
last Legislature providing that a
residence of only three months
in the county is required before
a divorce action may be instituted,
Judge Ballard appointed George L.
Sanford as amicus curiae to pres
ent the question before him for
review.
This viewpoint of the district
Judge was expressed this morning
when the action of Minnie Brooks
for divorce from James S. Brooks
was being presented for the
courts determination. The COM
plant alleged a six months resi-
dence in Ormsby county, but the
testimony of the plaintiff did not
establish this residence, and the
Judge indicated that he would deny
the prayer for divorce on the
ground that the plaintiff had not
established her residence. George
A. Whiteley, attorney for Mrs.
Brooks, moved to amend the com
plant, alleging that a three
months residence in accordance
with the 1927 statute had been
established. This motion was not
granted by Judge Ballard. for the
reason that he is not convinced
that the three months statute Is
-alid; but the court agreed to
withhold its decision in the ac-
tion pending until the question
Of constltutionality has been ar
cued by the amicus curiae then
appointed and has been determin-
ed by the judge.
In case that Judge Ballard still
entertains any doubts as to the
legality of the three months stat
ute after the matter has been sub
mitted to him for determination
by the amicus curiae it is under
stood that a test case, probably
from Washoe county, will be pres
ented to the supreme court by
Reno attorneys to finally deter
mine the status of the act.

Mark Eaton, aged between five
and six years, walked in front of
the advancing sicklebar of a
moving machine at Bunkerville
last Monday. Both his feet were
severed just above the ankles.
With some other children the
lad was playing under some pom
granate trees edging the field
and Moroni Wait, who was driv-
ing the mower had no knowledge
OF his presence until after the ac-
cident.
In the arms of his mother the lad
was brought to Las vegas as
quickly as possible and placed in
the Las Vegas Hospital under the
care of DR.. F. NJ. Ferguson. But
little could be done for the suf-
ferer except to dress the wounds
and endeavor to build up his
strength so that he may undergo
the two amputations which will
be necessary should he live.
DR.. Ferguson states that the lad
is in a critical condition. much
weakened by the shock and the
great loss of blood and that the
outcome Of the case is uncertain.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton are
constantly at the bedside of the
little sufferer doing everything
possible for him. Mrs. Eaton is
