Your Health How to Keep It. . Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Bygeia
 inc Health NfaOo,ino

l --~~'sS~ OOssA AsssA Ok Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine. A celebrated French specialist in heart disease said that when q pa- tlent seeks advice for palpitatioIs of the heart only the physician may iu- fer that the reaction is a nervous one and that the patient does not have an actual disease of the tissues of the heart.
 The person who complains of pal pitation of the heart is usually a woman under 50 years of age with a certain amount of disordered dt- gestion. When the palpitations come on the patient usually exhibits great distress and may even faint away. The scientific physician will en- deavor first to determine if the tis- sues of the heart are normal. This he does by finding out If the heart ts enlarged beyond it's usual borders and if 1t lies in the usual position He will listen to the sounds of the heart to see If murmurs are present, indicating that the valves of the heart do not operate efficiently, He Will look for swellings of the ex- tremities which may be taken a, sign that the heart is unable to pump the blood all the way around the circulatory system. It will also be necessary to find out how much work the heart can do without dis treSS,
 Among the methods of testing the capacity of the heart are such simple steps as hopping on one loot. running up and down stairs lifting weights certain number of times, or other rapid and regular movements. Examination of the heart While the patient lies also. lutely still does not give an obpor- tunity to determine how much the heart can do when It's reserve. ar. called upon, as may frequently be the case when a person runs for street car.
 slr James Mackenzie said that the heart would never fail if 1t. muscle were never given more work than It can do without exhaustion.
 Besides the tests mentioned. the physician is now able to study the movements of the heart by the use ot d number of electrical devices Of great sensitivity. These show the propulsion of the heart beat through the various parts of the organ and are indeed so sensitive as almost to De able to record every twitch of fiber.
 When the heart tissues are found 10 bo normal by every possible test and the heart is able to react in a normal manner to unusual strains the physician must determine if the usual symptoms are due to some nervous reaction. This may involve a study Of all the circumsta tances of The patients life to reveal whether me symptoms tend to come on fin association with any particular event Of the daily routine. Some times the cardiac neurosis is merely d part Of q general neurosis. Dur- ing the great war soldier. suffered not infrequently with these neryous manifestations related to the heart.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

| I Anne Huntington Tracy confident.
 ly expected that Phillip Wynnt
 Tracy IN, her son. would return
 from the motor salesroom and take
 lis mother out to Arrowhead InE
 for dinner in the car she had just given him.
 ] Instead. he brings Natlee Jones
 and asks his mother to give him SIC so that he may take her out to din-
 ncr. She gives it to him with mis- eivings and spends the evening which is also the anniversary of her husbands death, thinking of her sarl life. whose one pleasure had been the companion of her only son. Phillip stays out very late and
 Mrs. Tracy becomes very nervous Just as she is becoming frantic Phil returns and calmly announces that he has proposed to Natlee and that they hope 10 marry even before he finishes his education~ Phil tells his mother that Mr. Jones is very angry because he kept Natlee out so late and asks her 10 intercede for him with Natlee': father. She can do nothing with MT. Jones. however. who insists that Phil must never speak to his daugh- ter again.
 Here the story further unfolds- CHAPTER " PARENTAL CENSURE T didn't dream for moment Mrs. Tracy, that you knew where your boy was last night any more than l knew where Natlee Was. l wouldn't have believed any one had they told me you were actually all lowing your son to go to these cat ing and drinking places Why. for a minute my wife even thought she ismelled liquor on Natlee's breath when she kissed her goodnight. But my daughter denied it."
 "But-but. Mir. Jones'" spoke up Mrs. Tracy
 After telling me that you knew where your son was taking my daughter" the man again inter- rupted, T can listen to no excuses, and l tell you if find him hanging around my girl in the future. I'll horsewhip Him within an inch of his life"
 Surely Mir. Jones. you do not think my boy would hurt your girl in any way? At least hope Phillip is gentleman.
 At last Phil's mother had been able to get word in. T know he will not hurt my daughter" again put in the man, langrily. flor 1 shall take mighty good care that he doesn't have a chance.
 Phillip Wynne Tracy IV." Mir. Jones repeated the name with in finite scorn. You pride yourself, madam, that your son is the fourth of his name, but I tell you l would rot want 10 remind any one in this city of that name. You see I re- member the night he was born and know how his father died. I knew his father and his grandfather be- fore him.
 Its bad blood and bad character that you are so proud of, and l do not intend that my daughter shall ever have to purify one or bolster up the other"
 At this Anne Tracy became as angry in her turn as was the shak- ing man in front of her.

Katie Accounts Strange Adventure
 to Nadge

realized two things as Katie triumphautly announced her discov- cries concerning the red-haired and red-bearded man who with an even more disreputable-loo compan- ion had taken the Grimsey shack back of the farm. One was that it was not safe to give my little maid any direction which afforded her any latitude Of action-she was all together 100 likely to interpret it in the weirdest fashion. The other was that if I listened to her. I virtually should be spying upon Dicky's visit to our mysterious neighbors.
 My first instinct was to stop her revelations at once and send her back to her room. But the remcm- brance of Dicky's laughterfilled eyes when he came back from the shack. and his air of enjoying joke which he did not mean to share, bolstered my argument to myself that after all his visit had been no affair Of his own. but one which concerned me as well. He had gone simply to find out for himself and me what danger, If any, there was for Junior in the proX- imity Of the men to the farm. l could have gone with him had l insisted. Therefore, there was no reason for me not to listen 10 my little maids story except the fact that by so doing I should condone her eavesdropping.
 But Katie would no more realize that l vas combining it than she could understand that her action was reprehensible. I had told her to find out what she could about the red bearded man when we had had a visit from that mysterious in dividual. She had interpreted the mandate literally and had brought me the fruits of her quest as in- nocently and eagerly as a friendly puppy would deposit a cherished old ehoe at the feet of his mistress,
 So stifling few stray qualms which persisted in raising their heads, smiled at her excitement.
 Tell me about it, Katie" I said encouragingiy. but slowly, so l can understand what this is all about. Where did you see this man."
 "Oop by wood dees side of Mees- ter Grimsey's shack" Katie respon- ded, promptly. You know vot fine

sons head that he would like tc marry your daughter. The Tracys do not mate with Joneses. In the first place, Phil Is too young to marry any girl. He must finish his education. And in the second place, when my son marries. he will marry q girl, hope, in his own set"
 His own set snorted Jones, thank God my daughter does not belong to that dancing, drinking pleasure mad group of young people.
 "Natlee belongs to a God-fearins Christian family. Her mother has been very careful to bring her up in the way that she should go and do not intend to have her immortal soul imperiled or in the slightest contaminated by an irresponsible waster like your son and his father before him. And may as well tell you while I am here that you must get another milkman. After this morning I'll order my driver to de- liver no more milk at your house.
 Anne Traey's sense of humor got the better of her anger. With q smile she said: T really cannot see 1 MT. Jones, just how the fact that some milk and cream from your dairy coming into this house will re- act for the worse on the character of your daughter"
 You may laugh. Mrs Tracy, and make fun of me and my fatherly care of my daughter. l have found that all you rich folks laugh at tho efforts of self-rcspecting Christian people when they try 10 keep their children away from the contamina- ton and the wickedness that these idle youths are spreading in the world"
 , Anne Tracy arose. "I think we'll terminate this interview. Mir. Jones. We do not seem to be getting any where. Evidently, we don't speak I the same language"
 "Oh. I'll go quick enough. and I know l can't talk grand like you, but I hope to make this plain to you
 
 my daughter, III make his hand some face look like milk rack. Tell him that for me-
 'I'll tell him. Mir Jones. never fear, and if know Phil. as think do, your threat will probably make him think that he cannot get along without Natlce."
 When Phillip returned that night and his mother told him what Mir. Jones had said, he grinned.
 ."Why didn't you tell him. Mother. that his daughter taught your in- nocent little boy a lot of new fox lrot steps last night and that she was quite the best dancer at Arrow head. Much he or his wife knows what Natlee does when she is out of their sight. or what she thinks at any time. And if he thinks that I am going to keep away from her just because he has gotten 1t into his ivory dome that I am trying to coax her into eternal Hades, he has got another think coming.
 Why. Num-" a deep wave of color spread over Phil Tracy's face. T am proba bly, the only little Rollo she knows at the present moment" He made an elaborate pretense of picking up a thread from the car pet.
 AS he raised his head he said: Well, it looks as tboush we're in pretty Dutch. doesn't it, mother? What are we going to do now?"
 Mrs. Tracy smiled to see that her
