Road to Good Health.

Performing important duties while
handicapped by stomach and kidney
torture was the lot of Mr.. G. G. Hun
gerford, well-known Illinois Central
engineer, who lies at 805 So. State
ST., Freeport, Ill. He tells about it
as follows:
Nobody knows what I suffered
for ten years, from stomach and
kidney trouble. Every attempt to
eat caused me to bloat with gas and
suffer intensely. My back ached,
day and night, and sleep was almost
impossible. felt weak and tired all
the time, and kept getting worse.
Finally they said I had only forty
eight hours to live. But I am alive
and feeling wonderful I date my
recovery from the moment I started
using Viuna. The first few doses
proved that I had found the right
remedy at last, and now all the old
gas trouble and stomach pains have
gone. My kidneys ceased troubling
me and the backache faded away.

TXTHEN the telephone finally
wv rang, Diana was almost too
weak to answer it. Her voice
sounded lifeless and dead. OF course
they couldn't go now.
I'm sorry" Seton apologized.
sThings have come up which make
it impossible for me to get away"
Gail right" she replied, bravely.
But her throat was tight with
tears. Not only with disappoint-
ment. 1t was his attitude that hurt.
AS If he begrudged her even the
cold comfort of the telephone call.
A moment later he had rung off
and Diana was face down on the
bed. Sick with deferred hope, tor
tured by suspicion, cold with de-
Spair.
He didn't love her Oh, he
didn't. And what a fool she was
to care. She tried to lift her head
with some degree Of pride but the
thought of life without him fright
ened her. What in the world had
happened? What could she have
done?
Nadine was out. The apartment
was dark. And the hours she had

"You admit it, then?" she asked
more quietly.
Feeling her spiritual withdrawal,
Diana arose. Her eyes were swollen
from weeping. Her head ached.
"Mr. Seton and I are just good
friends" she announced with dig
nifty. "EIe's been wonderful to me"
HE would be-" her sister retort-
ed, bitterly.
Diana felt the necessity for fur
ther explanation.

mon about our feeling for each
other"

asked with weighted, caustic brew
ity.
The question plunged Diana back
into despair. Realizing that Vivian
suspected the worst she decided to
tell her everything. She was ex-
perienced with men.
No doubt she understood their
whinS and vagaries. Perhaps she
could explain the cause of Seton's
spasmodic GOODNESS.
Vivian" she said, dejectedly,
I'm going to tell you all about it,
if you will promise to be absolutely
frank and give me your unbiased
opinion"
Vivian seemed very nervous. She
lighted a cigaret with hand that
trembled visibly.
II don't think he cares for his
wife at ALL" Diana went on in a
weak little voice. "You see she
isn't interested in the stage or any
thing pertaining to it"
Vivian said nothing.

he needed relaxation and contact

Her face was flushed and as sweet

an internist, who puts them through
the routine and discovers by one test
or another clue to the trouble or ar
indication for a remedy. But l am
convinced that the ordinary family
doctor or general practitioner could
use this same machinery quite as ef
fectively as the internist does, IL only
the public mind could be disabused OF
the childish fancy that specialist
is better qualified than an Ordinary
doctor" for such service.
1t Is because of this popular fallacy
or misunderstanding that so many pa
tients are unwilling to stand the ex
pense Of such an examination In the
hands Of an Ordinary doctor" though
willing enough to pay for 1t when they
consult the internist.
Many internists are truly specialists
say heart specialists, but to date nc
official recognition has been accorded
the field of disease of circulatory or.
gans as a speciality. Other internists
are truly specialists In diseases of the
digestive organs, but they, too. must
designate themselves only as Intern
lists" il they announce themselves as
specialists at all.
DR.. Alvarez expatiates on the treat
ment OF nervous indigestion, but
warns us Of the many mistakes even
the specialist in digestive disorders
makes when he assumes a "neurotic''
condition where, in fact, the patient
has gallstones, tumor of the spinal
cord, incipient tuberculosis, or some
such real malady.

Patients With Nothing the Matter

Nearly every one has heard about

been saddened by countless misfor-
tunes and disasters, most Of which
had never happened.
DR.. Conan Doyle has repeatedly
encountered ectoplasm even though
there Is no such substance. DR.. Wal
ter Alvarez descants upon the subject
Of nervous indigestion, but this good
medical teacher cautions us that a
complete examination must be made
before the physician Is justified in
reassuring his patient chat 1t Is not
any actual organic disease. Such an
examination in itself is one Of the
best means Of giving psychotherapy.
Indeed, It Is an essential preliminary
to any reinsurance Of the patient.
Many patients with alleged nervous

because they have been shocked or
set worrying by the illness or death
Of a relative or friend. They harbor
a secret fear that they. too, have
some serious undecided malady, such
as cancer. heart disease or whatnot,
but they will not admit 1t and come
complaining Of some minor trouble.
Only when he has made a thorough ex.
animation can the physician hope to
relieve such patients anxiety and COM
mand their confidence.
Right here. think, is the secret of
the popularity of the specialist called

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

It is a common reaction generally
TO dislike the things which are good
for one, so don't expect the baby to
be lacking in such reactions. The
infant who is beginning to eat, If Of
fered vegetables and cereals as IL
they were a grand treat, can be ex-
pected to like them. But IL the
mother has a worried air, as IL she
is not exactly sure how this new food
is going to be accepted, the baby is
very likely to refuse 1t.
The older child who has a thousand
new and fascinating things to do
every day seldom shows any great
interest in mealtimes. They are
events which have to be suffered
three times day. 1t is quite right
that the child. when young, should
should have his own meals at differ
ent times than his parents meals.
This because he eats four times a
day instead of three. But even the
baby will not enjoy a meal all alone.
He wants the cheering and comfort
ing presence of his mother, so that
he is entertained as well as fed, and
up to the time he is old enough to
sit at the family table and eat his
three squares" with them he should
not be left alone to mess his food
about, wasting time and food and
growing to dislike this lonely and un.
inspiring half-hour which must be de.
voted to eating.
The family table is seldom a cheer.
full one. Too often parents use this
opportunity to bring up all the un.
pleasantness of the day and an air
| OF rancor and quarrelsomeness hangs
over the table. Every one swallows
his food in haste and gets away as
quickly as possible. Children NAV
appear to be Indifferent to such an
atmosphere, but they are not. and
they soon come to ohate mealtimes
| and shun them.
Next to quarreling, perhaps the
| commoneSt topic of conversation at
mealtimes is food. Everything
which appears on the table must be

tains iron and is therefore good for
one. Spinach takes on attributes of
disagreeableness when pulled to
pieces in this fashion and analyzed.
1t Is all right for mother to know

vegetables daily, but the family will
enjoy them far more IL they know
only that they are appetizing and en-.
joyable.
Listen to the conversation at your
family table this evening. Is it con.
ducive to a good digestion and enjoy.

eaten in sullen silence, irritating quar-.

I Don't Dare Love.

No, I don't, but 1 can't say why.
And, then, I know lots of girls in just
the same plight. Our hearts are beat
ing, but our brains won't let us love.
I asked PHI. d. what the matter was
with US, and he called 1t "amoropho-
bia," which must mean that we're
having trouble with our adenoids.
OF course I've read love stories, but
they were all written in mothers day,
and maybe love Is now out of style
These modern inventions may have
found some substitute for it, but I'd
like to know what can take loves
place in life.
feel that could love, but I've no
idea whom I could bestow it on.
Maybe woman who keeps cat or
who leads a bow-wow around on a
string is in the same fix. She has
love in general, but she can't match
the color of her love with the shade
Of any mans complexion. So she
goes to the movies and sees love made
on the screen.
It seems to me that women always
love just man, not Tom, or Dick, or
Harry. Woman has never been able
to pick out the man of her hearts
choice, but has had to lavish her af.
lection and talcum on the man who
happened to come along.
Business life doesn't do much for
love, and a business college is often
the finishing school for that sort of
thing. NSay, where's the romance of
bygone xdays. and where are the
knights land lovers? Guess they're
all atithe Office or out on the golf
links. They are not around here.
Oh, I'm not really sore. nor am I
saying that I haven't promised to be
"sisteH' or friend" to more than
one Willie boy. I'm just thinking,
and myfpresent think leads me to be-
lieve th&t the modern girl who has her
job mus get along without any man.
A girl who works and whose work

watch 4er step. And while she's on
her guard against men her heart

Hunger Wins.
Too Oft the stomach rules the brain
And much is lost for little gain.
Old Mother Nature

Little Bears are very like little boys
The stomachs Of little Bears get
empty. just as do the stomachs of
little boys. 1t doesn't take them a
great while to get empty. 1t was just
that way with Cubby. Buster Bears
woebegone little cub UP in a tree in
Farmer Browns dooryard. 1t was
some time since he had had anything
to eat. You see, he hadn't had a
chance to get anything to eat before
he got into trouble there in the pantry
Of Mother Brown. So, after while.
Cubby was doubly uncomfortable
covered made him uncomfortable and
the emptiness Of his stomach made
him uncomfortable.
He got to thinking about food. The
more he thought about something to
eat the more it seemed to him that
he just must have something to eat.
So when Farmer Browns Boy came
out with a plate full Of food and held
it up so that Cubby could see it, he
just had to dig his claws into that tree
to hold on and keep himself up there.
Farmer Browns Boy talked to him.
Come down, you. rascal" said he.
I'm not going to hurt you. Come on
down and let me see what 1 can do
with that paste. My, such a sight as
you are! I don't know how we'll ever
ever get you clean again. Now come
down and get something to eat and
then We'll take a bath"
But Cubby wouldn't come down
He still had that sense of having beer
in mischief and he was afraid to come
down.. Finally Farmer Browns Boy
went away and left the plate of fooC
at the foot of the tree. He took Bow
ser the Hound with him. Otherwise
Bowser might have eaten up all thai
food.
Cubby looked down. His mouth be

it he moved down a foot or two. 81
