hall and unlocked the door OF the
next apartment. We found our
selves IN big living room similar
to Lillian's, only occupying the op-

a big room with an immense fire

We crowded around her and ex-
claimed with pleasure at the view
of the Hudson and the Palisa des
above it which, though several
blocks away. seemed almost at our
feet.
I'VE have the same view" Lillian
said. You See these two apart
ments occupy the entire west end of
the building. You have the south
west corner and We the northwe est.
Each of the bedrooms has a view
of the river, too. Come and inspect
and plan before the men get here"
We trailed her as she went from
room to room, four good sized bed
rooms beside the central living
room. and two baths.
'Of course you'll arrange them as
you like" Lillian said when we had
finished the inspection, but l want
you to see how convenient an ar
rangement could be made if Harry
takes this 'farthest north bedroom
next to our suite. One bath is be-
tween that room and the large room
next. Ii Dicky took that. they could
share the bath when they wished,

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor journal OF the American
Medical Association and of Hy.
geia, the Health Magazine

The condition commonly called
acute Indigestion is not infrequently
acute appendicitis; sometimes gall
stones. ulcer Of the stomach. or
some othere abdominal condition
may be responsible.
AS DR.. Hubert A. Register has
emphasized. too much stress must
not be placed on an indiscretion In
diet az cause OF a pain, because
many times imprudent eating will
not bring on digestive trouble and
not 1nfrequently the symptoms of
acute appendicitis will develop
when food has not been recently
taken.
In short. it is not safe to make
diagnosis when there is severe
pain in the abdomen. and particu-
larry on the right side fairly low
down, unless one is thoroughly IA
mlllar with scientific medical dag
nosls. Physicians classify the
symptoms Of acute appendicitis in
the order Of their occurrence and
their Importance as pain, nausea
and vomiting, tenderness, rtzidity
OF the muscles. some fever, and in
crease in the number Of white cells
in the blood
There happen to be any number
OF diseases that will give pain and
that Will cause vomiting and ten
derness. Almost any disturbance
in the abdomen associated with
pain will bring about rigidity of
fhes muscles. All sorts OF diseases
are accompanied by slight fever.
and many diseases are associated
with a high percentage OF white
cells in the blood.
1t therefore becomes necessary
for the physician, on the basis of
his knowledge Of disease as a whole
and OF the causes Of disease, to
consider the relationship of the
symptoms to each other and to the
condition generally and on this
basis to make his diagnosis. To
the man who knows the disease. the
picture Is striking and easily identi-
fled.
Unfortunately the average person

mentallsna, and eNclaim impatient,
", 1T is time that all this stuff was
de-bunked,"
CompleAes. as We have learned
TO call character kinks, will never
be de-bunked for the simple reason
! that they are facts. Inhibitions, OF
| lmpe1ed natural instincts, cannot b.
de-bunked, either, for there they are
as plain as daylight in most Of us.
Various Origins
OF Completes
Both completes and inhibitons
have beginnings. And the begin
ming is usually in early childhood,
or pre-school age.
Completes are developed in vari-
Gus ways: by actual occurrence, con-
slant suggestion, shocil-the sources
are many and varied.
The cause OF a fear complex may
be forgotten in years TO come but
the effect may remain to blight q
life. Often the cause is not even
known. But there has been discov-
cred a way of tracing these causes,
and thus curing compleAcs that have
reached an alarming stage This
system is known us recall
For instance famous lecturer
had a complex that kept him in
constant terror of something behind
him. This fear followed him even
to the lecture PLATFORM where he
was absolutely unable to speak until
screen had been placed close be-
hind him.
He could not eat unless he sat
with his back to a wall. He was
alert and fearful when walking, and
had a peculiar horror OF the dark.
Camplcx Can Re
Cured Some Times
He was perfectly sarA ard per
fectly normal but his life was mis-
cradle
Pathologists, by the system of
suggestion mentianed. traced it to
a simple incident in childhood, when
the boy wandered into the desert
ed twilight of the back part of D.
store where boxes were stored. He
thought he was alone. Suddenly
out OF the dim recesses. jumped the
storekoeper, who clapped his hands
over his little friends eyes and held
him for a considerable time without
saying a word
1t was only Joke but think OF
the consequences.
If you are interested in this spe
cific case-by recalling the cause of
his fear, the man was cured. Just
SO strange are the workings of our
brains.
So it is necessary for parents TO
realize that the practical Joke has
no place in little child's life, even
though IT appear innocent enough
at the time.

NO, sir, ! didn't believe he had it

Chatterer's thoughts were mostly

SHADOW the Weasel would by and by
follow his trail down to the waters
edge. And he wondered, too, whar
Shadow would think when that
trail ended. But every time he
thought of Shadow it reminded him
OF Billy Mink, and then he would
glance around uneasily. Being such
a little fellow, he was, of course,
low down in the water, and he
couldn I see very far ahead on the
water. So he didn't see Paddy the
Beaver swimming down the pond
he didn't see Paddy until Paddy
started to cross in front of him.

fright as he had, You see, he didn't
kno" who it Vas. He simply saw
his great head in the water. He
saw Paddy's great teeth. Poor Chat

only when he started to he swallow

and he wanted to get ont IN q

He redoubied his efforts. When he

the water from his coat My, how
GOOD it did seem to have something

It may not seem Of much importance, but the hardy
pioneer who slaughtered a herd Of buffalo never
dreamed that he vas helping to render q species ex-
tinct. The human race will spend . good deal Of effort
and money In making . garden bloom In beauty and
call the police force IL the n~sighbor's child pulls the

ing Of taking a country ride of q Sunday and plueking
an armful Of wild flowers. And no garden can sur
pass in beauty a field that looks up to heaven a ceru-
lean blanket In the Texas bluebonnet or q crimson and

becoming less common now than q decade ago. The old

Partly that is due to the march Of building and in

that the act prevents floral repopulation and that at
best the cut flowers fade in n few hours.

II the policies enunciated by Senator Simon D. Fess,
temporary chairman Of the republican national con-
vention, relative to agricultural depression and the
remedy therefor. are carried out, there will be no basis
for a demand for an equalization fee or other relief
measure.
In analysing the farm situation Senator Fess said:
"The farmers need is a sellers market to give him a
voice in what he is to receive instead Of subjecting
him to the whims Of an unregulated, and not infre-
quently q speculative market, where he is left to take
whatever the buyer is willing to give"
Senator Tess in those few words outlined the entire
situation as it applies to the cotton and winter vege-
able growers Of the South. This principle is recognized
by all parties, all economists, all financiers; but there
is only one emedy-organization.
The movement recently inaugurated to combine
business men and growers into one organization, which
could finance regulation Of the cotton market, is the
most logical form Of farm relief ever devised, and is
one that should be extended to cover all phases Of
farm activity, including truck and fruit production. In
winter vegetable production, the grower is more at the
mercy Of what Senator Fess refers to as the "whims
OF an unregulated and not infrequently a speculative
market" than in any other branch Of agriculture.
Cotton probably feels the effects Of speculative mar
kets more than any Of the staple crops, and the farmer
ing to give very rarely receives a profit on his pro-
duetion.
Having failed to secure endorsement Of the equaliza-
tion fee by the republican national convention, and with
the assurance that the democratic national convention
will adopt the same policy, the farm leaders are ex-
pected to inaugurate a movement that will permit the
farmers TO work out their own salvation" through or
ganization. During the coming year the cooperative
movement is expected to gain tremendous momentum,
and the next congress will probably be asked 70 finance
a national cooperative along the line proposed by Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Jardine which will prove Of real
value in providing the panacea for the agricultural
ills Of the nation.
