put upon.
They also believe -and again
the neighbors will agree-that in
doing ANYTHING FOR PEACE
they are following the only wise
and reasonable course.
1t never occurs to them that
such an attitude is more despic.
able than murder or theft. For
murder or theft might arise from
a passing mood of violence or de-
spair-and leave much of the
character unframed. But the
cowardice that has made these
three people DO ANYTHING
FOR PEACE has eaten into the
very warp and woof of their char.
acters.
Those characters were the most
precious things they possessed.
1t was their first and supeme
duty to guard those characters
and keep them strong and clean
and free. No one else could per.
form that duty for them. And un.
less that duty was performed
their lives would be wrecked and
the big things they might have
done for the world would go un.

Well - their lives are wrecked,
and the big things are undone.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By DR.. c. A. L. Reed


HAS your child rheumatism?
IA Has 1t ever had rheumatism?
II 10, are you sure it has COM
pletely recovered? These are most
important inquiries.
The rheumatic infection of chill.
dren; is one Of the most killing
and disabling diseases of this and
other temperate countries.
The number Of children who
suffer from it is about 10 per cent.
The number that actually develop
heart disease as a result is about
2 per cent. 1t thus constitutes a
terrific national problem.
1t has little connection with
elderly rheumatic conditions like
muscular inflammation or arthri.
tbs. 1t is commonly known as
rheumatic fever" though the
term is a bad one.
It occurs as a penalty for
violating the natural law of infec-
ton,
1t is a microbe infection that
starts in the tonsils and invades
the whole body. 1t does its worst
damage to the heart. In addition
to this, 1t can cause acute muscle
and joint pains and can attack the
nerves, causing chorea or st.
Vitus' dance. Gan true st. Vitus'
dance" says Reginald Miller, "is
rheumatic in origin"
One of the chief characteristics
of child rheumatism is the way in
which it dies away only to flare up
again and in which it shoulders
on. damaging the patients heart
without anyone knowing what is
happening.
The whole danger in children Is,
in fact, the effect on the heart.
Permanent heart disease in a child
is rheumatism, and rheumatism,
In such a case, it is almost true
to say. is heart disease.
The ignorance of even well.edu-
Gated people about child rheuma.
tism is tragic. Many do not know
that children can suffer from
rheumatism at all. The reason is
partly that the disease is curiously
confined to the poorer classes. But
perhaps the greater cause of the
general apathy about it is that
patients rarely die in the early at.
lacks. The child apparently re-
covers completely. Only thor.
ough medical examination will
show that the heart is affected and
that the patient will not live out
the ordinary span of life. Ten,
twenty or thirty years afterward,
however, the early handicap has
its effect and the sufferer becomes
increasingly disabled and dies an
early death.
A changeable climate, such as
prevails on the eastern seaboard
in the extreme northwest srn
coastal States, in the interior from
Is degrees to IS degrees N. and
in England, Is conducive to rheu-
matism in children. Heredity Is
not important. As the disease
starts in the tonsils, conditions
that predispose to chronically in.
fected tonsils predispose to rheu.
matism.
Child rheumatism is essentially
a disease of the poor, but not Of
the very poorest of all. 1t attacks
the children Of the respectable
artisan, not those OF the down
and-out. 1t is not especially a
disease of overcrowding, extreme
dirt and malnutrition.
1t is a disease of industry. The

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland,

MaTriage-and How to Bear 1t
HERE are three kinds of mar.
riages: happy marriages, un-
happy marriages. and marriages
which are merely uncomfortable.
Marriage is not just a chance
to give up job and sleep until
lunch time; but a life apprentice

without most of the things you
want, and to put up with a lot Of
things you don't want.

most OF them. business" is either
the shortest cut to matrimony, or
the quickest escape from it-into
another marriage.
In some sophisticated circles.
marriage is merely the little inter
val between the wedding-dav and
the divorce. Most modern mar
riages appear to be built for speed
rather than for endurance.
But in spite of ali this, mar.

Foreign countries having their troubles with the new
spirit Of freedom among young people The British have be-
exercised by the prevalence Of the practice of nude
bathing of mixed that the will be taken up be-

The conventional bathing costume in Great Britain as well
the Continent has been suit for both sexes
which differs from socaled piece suit in that there
is skirt effect and the figure fully revealed as in the
costumes that racing swimmers wear.
Not being able to eliminate anything further their
bathing attire the advanced spirits in England have been
doing away with it altogether
Nude bathing parties have been quite common on the
Florida beaches for several years. and have the local
authorities there great deal of trouble.
