SECRETS OF
HEALTH

WHAT is the way to manage
W an asthmatic child?
The first thing to do IL to
put yourself in touch with your
family physician. He win at
least try to find out the cause
and remove 1t. That il the be-
ginning Of rational management.
Never forget the natural law and
effect.
But there are some things you
can and must do to help the
doctor.
First Of all. it Il particularly
important to guard against nerv.
Gus excitement and overstrain.
The very earliest question that
will come up for decision ID
that OF coddling versus harden
ing, and this win be q very
difficult one to answer. While
we must avoid at all costs max.

invalid, we have also to remem-
Der that exposure to weather,
particularly to fog and damp,
Is definitely harmful. especially
to the bronchial type, and we
must not make d fetish Of fresh
air.
Very often parents ask the
question: Should we try the
effect Of going and living some
where else?" al warm, dry
climate Is theoretically the best,
again especially In the bronchial
type, but change OF locality
is very speculative and ID apt to
be merely an expensive Jump out
Of the frying pan into the fire.
Some patients seem freer from
attacks In some places than in
others, but that may be due to
something else besides the
the neighborhood Of animals,
grass or trees.
Parents would be we'll advised,
therefore, to endure the evils
they know rather than ny to
others that they know not. Ger

tending to 90, to insure that the
child will really be free from
the disease when there.
Diet is important, and many
patients are improved by avoid
Ing indigestibIe things and by
having small dry meals with no
supper. 1t is unwise to cut down
children's diet too much, az they
need the food to enable them to
grow. 1t is folly to sacrifice
the child to the disease.
II the child is known to be q
sensitive" It is always best II
possible to remove the offending
agent from his environment,
though this does not necessarily
guarantee a cure. 1t is, advisable
in all cases, of asthma to forbid
the use Of feather pillow, hair
mattresses, fur coats, horse-riding
and the keeping of pets, for even
il the patient Is not sensitive to
any Of these objects he may
easily become so. The asthma
subject is often potentially SEN
sensitive IL not actually.
What substances he is sensitive
to can only be discovered by ex-
pertinent. The influence of trees.
grass and animals can be fairly
easily detected by simply sending
the child away from their neigh
borhood for little while and
seeing If 1t makes q difference.
but common articles of food and
dust are more difficult to incrimi-
nate.

5000 Indian Widows
Are Children
Under S
By International News Service

BOMBAY India, Oct. 20
Seventy four thousand children
under five years of age are mar.
ried in the Presidency Of Bombay,
according to statistics revealed
here today.
Three thousand little girls of
that number are widows. TIE
children were engaged or actually
married under the Indian custom
of mating young children.
The statistics were gathered in
support Of three bills for Indian
social reforms, which will soon
be introduced in the Indian legis-
lature. These measures will deal
with child marriage and child en-
gagements.
Although the English have in
troduced many reforms in India,
they never interferred with the
customs Of child marriages. The
matter has been left to the
Indians themselves to reform il
they saw fit.

possibility today as the result of a
statement from a high prslate of.

Vatican has four chief demands, as
follows:
l. Recognition of papal 1urisdic-
ton in places now occupied by
Vatican offices or officials.
2. Recognition of papal sover.
eighty over pontifical territories,
such as shall be outlined in later
negotiations between the Vatican
and the Italian government.
3. Construction of seaport which
shall be recognized as papal terri

4. The Vatican shall be given
sovereignty over a tract of land
where the pontificate Is now stu
ated, additional territory to be pur.

which the church hopes to negotiate
with J. p. Morgan & Co.
Premier Mussolini Is preparing to

already been made on behalf of the
Vatican.

MARKET TRENDS
ARE MIXED
Ry International News Service

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-The influ.
ence of easy money and investment
buying of dividend stocks was seen
in various sections of the market at
the beginning of trading today. New
advances of a point or more were
scored by. the speculative leaders,
and pools continued their aggressive
work in Greene Cananea and a few
other newcomers to the active list.
For the most part thu market was
dun and heavy, with price trends de-
cidedly mixed.
Not much encouragement could
be derived from the weekly car
loadings report, which, taken into
consideration with the per cent
decline in steel mills operations,
emphasized the persistent let.up in
the volume of domestic trade. On
the other hand, there has been
sufficient of q shrinkage in stock
prices In the last few weeks to
offset a considerable decline in
business, and speculative sentiment
in Wall Street at the present time
is as unsettled as the weather.
Call money renewals opened at 31h

Short covering and pool opera
tons in the market favorites pro-
duced a slight firming up of
prices in industrials. The tobacco

The idea behind the surveys
action was to find how far south
the birds go in the winter. Sure
enough. some of them were located
later in Trinidad and in Colombia

found, fly prodigious distances and
