And Still We Love Them

And Still We Love Them
THE first sign Of a mans in.
Il terest in another woman is
his irritability and impatience
with the one around the house.
Some flattery goes to a wo.
mans head and makes her dizzy:
some goes to her heart and
makes her happy; but most Of it
goes to her vanity, where It
merely acts as an appetizer.
When a man discovers that
woman knows more than he
does. it strikes him dumb-but
not with admiration!
A woman loves to keep a diary
and spread her soul out on
paper: but a man is perfectly
content to trust to his memory
for the best things he has done.
and to hope that other people
will forget the rest of them.
Love is a sort of club-sand.

of selfishness, filled with thin
layers of sentiment, seasoned
with passion and spiced with
curiosity.
Alas. most men forget the

heart once they have lost interest
in its contents.
There are two kinds of wo.
men in the world, as different
as Virginia creeper and poison
Ivy; but SO few men take the
time or trouble to distinguish
between them, until after they
have gotten all tangled up with
the dangerous variety.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed
Former President Of the American
Medical Association.

Former President Of the American
Medical Association.
6GT AM %, and have been mar.
! ried seven years. My
great motive in marrying was to
become a mother. This longing
has not been gratified. For
what reason / do not know. In
spite Of general good health I
have latterly become nervous,
emotional and sleepless and at
times morose. My physician says
l have neurasthenia. What does
that mean?"
This correspondent has asked
a typical question and presents
a case that Is typical Of thou
sands Of American women-yes,
of women all over the world.
Properly speaking, neurasthenia
is weakness in the functioning
of the nervous system. Its direct
cause is generally an over-activ.
ity of the thyroid gland. This
gland governs nutrition and it's
sue change. There is generally
a corresponding failure of an.
other gland, called the supra.
renal gland, which controls the
thyroid and keeps the sexual
function in balance.
Disorder Of these two glands
may be caused by physical stress
or indiscretion or by bad mental
states, for they are in sense
the link between the nervous sys-
tenn and the healthy functioning
OF the body.
There are many women who
become chronic invalids, neuras-
themes, from failure to crafty
the maternal instinct, the most
powerful Of all their instincts.
The illness is very familiar
one. The woman, like my cor.
respondent, is about % or so,
just out of her youth. She is
beginning to get anxious about
her chances of arriving at
fulfillment of her maternal re.
quirements. The factor bring
ing this anxiety to head may
be childlessness, or the loss of
an only child and despair of hav.
ing another. 1t may be that a
man to whom she has been en-.
gagged long time has Tilted her.
or she may have lost a parent
or near relative after nursing
them through a long illness.
There are always two factors
removal of the object Of love
and a dreadful feeling that all
her work for the loved one has
been so much waste of time.
It probably has in some cases,
for a woman's work is primarily
to become a wife and a mother
and not to sacrifice her life.
work, her very destiny, to the
aged or infirra. There is a nor.
NAL limit to such sacrifices. The
woman Of this class usually has
a little money OF her own or
some one on whom she can de.
pend, II she had to earn her
living or starve she would have
no time or opportunity to be a

find an outlet and the trouble

French noises are smarter than
American noises?
Why should boudoir be con-

Do you snore more sweet1y in
a boudoir than in a bedroom,
or look better without your false

You do not.

Americans, with a good gram

LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS
BY Lucy Lowell

A FRIEND writes to ask me
"A what happiness is.
''I have been searching for 1t a
long time," she says, land I've
never found but brief flashes Of it.
''And do you think it is possible
to surround ones self with the en-
vironment and the people that
bring happiness?
"Or do you think it is to be
found only in work? Or should
one forget ones self in trying to
make others happy?
II have given those things a
trial but must confess that they
made no difference in my search
for the Blue Bird"
Someway I always had the idea
that the Blue Bird is very shy of
Searchers. But the one 1t seems
to me, very busy doing lovingly
and with will whatever comes to
hand to be done, might look up
most any time to catch the flutter
IT blue wings.
The Washington times., 1927-07-04

Happiness is quality made up
Of satisfaction in work well done.
In joy OF human relationships
pleasantly maintained, in a bit Of
ambition to lead toward a shining
goal, and the knowledge that the
heart is in the right place.
Trying to bring happiness to
others by giving sympathy and
understanding also helps. But this.
too should be watched lest the
high impulse degenerate into idle
ness and meddlesomeness.
Nor do I believe that serene con.
tentment may be captured by de.
liberately putting ones self in 4
certain set of surroundings or
maintaining only certain associa.
tions.
Happiness is anywhere and
everywhere the one with the will
to find it is. For, like the king.

Such is the burden Of complaint
of an Iowa man, who has written
to former State Senator Luke M
Duffy asking the method whereby
Duffy transferred his farm to Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Duffy decided the farm to
Coolidge, Mellon ct al, so they
would learn what it means to be a
farmer selling unprotected products
In highly protected market, he
said. 1t contains 176 acres and is
located near Winamac, Pulaski
county. 1t also has $500 mort
gage.
Interests, Taxes Grain
The Iowa letter is from ]. A.
DeCock, Davenport, and reads in
part as follows:
II read an account of you giving
a farm to President Coolidge and
am writing for information how
this can be done, so as to oblige the
President to accept and agree to
pay the mortgage.
II have a problem of the same
kind on my hands. I have a 160-
acre farm, which represents all my
savings for more than twenty years.
The interest on the mortgage has
been increased at every turn and
taxes have gained so that the in
come off the farm has now become
inadequate to meet the payments.
Minister Wants Farm
eff I could give it away in such
manner as would relieve me from
further obligation, I would certainly
appreciate knowing how and where
I can do it,"
A Gary minister also has written
Duffy regarding the transfer of the
farm. He says he has always wanted
to own one and if Coolidge doesn't
accept it to give it to him, minus
the mortgage.

DENVER, Nov. colorado
awoke to a crispy November morn
ing and found little coal in the
bins, and no immediate prospects Of
settlement Of the coal strike which
has tied up production in virtually
every field in the state.
Several thousand men remained
idle as result of the strike, al
though some mines were operating
with increased forces.
The walkout entered its third
week with a promise Of I. w. w.
leaders that picketing was at an
end.
Some observers believed this
marked the end Of the strike. Oper-
ators said the men would go to
work as soon as picketing halted.
Fears Not Quoted
Others, not so optimistic, how
ever, pointed out that the picketing
issue might result in Governor
Adams ordering in the national
guard if the strikers continued to
picket despite recommendation of
II w. w. leaders. Mention of the
national guard always arouses I'M
pleasant memories in Colorado's
coal fields.
Colonel Paul Newton, Adjutant-
General of the Colorado National
Guard, told Roger Franzeson, head
Of the strikers at Walsenburg, that
evasion of the law prohibiting
picketing would not be tolerated.
Governor Adams told Franzeson
virtually the same thing in a long
distance telephone conversation.
Interpretation of the picketine
laws seemed likely to cause dissen-
sion.
Fight Not Over
1--WE have decided to stop pickett
ing" Franzeson told George M.
Taylor, member of the State in
dustrial commission, and Major
Arthur L. Hart, of the national
guard, at Walseburg, "but that does
not mean we will be limited in free

She had no intention of telling him
the truth about her promise to her
mother, If she did he would think
it only an evasion so that she might
be with Arthur Vane. There was a
man for you. She had slapped him
with all her might yet he had held
her hand again his cheek. Fancy
Louis Nelson doing that; Yes, or
any of the other boys.
Absorbed in her thoughts, she did
not see Arthur crossing the street
until he had lifted his hat. I'M

climbing in beside her.

look which shot to her heart. I'm

Diana found herself turning the
car away from town toward a coun-
try road. An absurd little-girl
shyness kept her Stongue-tied.
Does he mean" she thought,
that he is restless on account OF
me?"
