Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness

(BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN) Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, tho Health Magazine
 In the annual report of Sir George Newman. chief medical officer Of the board of education of Great Britain. the statement is made that from one-fourth to one.third Of all children entering school need medical attention.
 Most frequently this attention Is required not for some specific de- feet, but for . general application to the entire body. In other words. the child's body is like a delicate engine that requires certain necessary ad- justments in view of the fact that greater stress Is to be put upon 1t.
 Faults
 The general terms for describing such . condition are malnourish- ment, debility. delicate condition, nervousness. and so forth. The figures vary in various communities, depending upon the severity of the examination.
 It is possible that much of this condition is dependent on heredity and that even the best of scientific attention may not be able to modify greatly the percentage of physically defective children.
 On the other hand. such disturb ances a. errors of vision, decaying teeth. and difficulties of hearing duo to secondary infection may certainly be corrected to the advantage of the child.
 Classifying Types
 More and more the attention of physicians is being turned to a clas- sification of human beings according to constitutional types. Sir George Newman recognizes two main types. one of which he describes as catar- rhal and the other as homeopathic.
 A catarrhal child has . tendency toward infection of the tonsils. the ndenoids ,and of the lymph glands. It also is likely to suffer frequently with colds and to show signs of eczema and similar complaints.
 Homeopathic children are usually pale and thin. listless and apathetic in appearance. but excitable and liable to habit spasms, headaches and unexplainable levers.
 AS has been mentioned. not only the specific disturbances of the body may be concerned, but also such difficulties as are concerned with the child's heredity, the manner in which 1t is fed ,and the fact that it lives unhygienically without suffi- cient sleep or nurture.
 Early Years Important
 The earliest years of life. preced- ing school life, are largely respon- sible for fixing the child's character and thereby its future.
 As has been pointed out by the London Lancet. medical officers who have carried out continuous super vision of children from prenatal ex- istence to school age all agree that the incidence of defects in such su- pervised children is far less than in those who have not had continuous supervision.

Dscky Yeats His Wtath ca Madge

Dicky's words were almost inco- herent as he tumbled them out in answer to my statement that Miss Lincoln had said he wished to speak to me.
 You're shouting I want to talk to you. Look here! What is all this about your playing goverEess for old Veritxen's protegee
 I knew that though Eleanor Lin- coin had gone back into the library. yet my replies would be perfectly audible to her. and I knew that to keep her from comprehending Dicky's rancor was going to take every bit of resourcefulness l pos sessed.
 "Yes, tsn't 1t a delightful arrange ment?" I caroled. Miss Lincoln and I are enjoying 1t immensely, al- though she's far too kind in her en- comiumA But can reply that she is a wonderful pupil. It is joy to work with her"

 ''The former"
 "Oh-h!" His tone held sudden en- hghtenment "Is Miss Lincoln where she can hear you?"
 Yes"
 Then I'll postpone the rest of this until I get there. But just let me inform you, milady, that you might save time and trouble by telling your young neighbor to get another teacher. There's . limit to what I'll

 My hand was shaking as I hung up the receiver. and I had to stand still for few seconds until l was sure that l could present an unruf- fled face to my pupil.
 For . wave of hot anger against my husband had swept over me as his >unreasoning demand. He had agreed to keep to himself hts aver sion to my work with Philip Verit- zen, a dislike which I knew was rooted iu his, prejudice against my doing any work for money. And now for some reason which could not fathom. he had broken that agreement and made threat of in- terference which I knew was no idle one. I had bad quarter of an hour in store for me when he should come home.

I was not partic- SHdllOISu ol tIlo Iuloild6 VI Eleanor Lincoln, but had promised my employer to undertake 1t, and 1t was neither honorable nor polite for lpe to break that promise. However. it was with feeling of definite de- pression that returned to the library.
 My pupil, however, was anything but depressed. Her eyes were % bright as l entered the library that I had a sudden eerie impulse to close the shutters and see If they would glow in the dark. Her whole man. ner, too, was full of excitement, tense. though suppressed. and sur missed that she was rejoicing yet fearful over her decision to pose for Dicky which she just had announced to him. l had not realized before how strong had been the natural TO- mantle desire of a well-known artist. but I could not help the jealous wonder as to how great a part Dickys' undeniably fascinating per sonality played in her excited anti cipation.

Shadow the Weasel is not one to waste time. He was angry. He was angry clear through because Black Pussy prevented him from poking his nose into a certain hole in the stonewall. Black Pussy was watch ing that hole in the hope thai Striped Chipmunk would come out of 1t, and she refused to leave it for Shadow. But Shadow didn't propose to waste any time just because he couldn't look into that particular hole.
 Its only one hole. and what's one hole among P many" said Shadow to himself. ''It might be the right hole, but the chances are that it isn't. It would be silly of me to wait around waiting for that cat to leave"
 So Shadow the Weasel hunted thoroughly through the rest of the stonewall. He found no trace of Striped Chipmunk. At least. he found no sign of hole where Striped Chipmunk could be living. Prob ably" thought Shadow. ''he filled the entrance after he got inside and 50 there isn't any hole to be seen. It would be just like him. Well. it is ev- ident I won't have Chipmunk din- ner. Now what shall l do?"
 He sat up on the end of the stone wall and looked this way and that It waa the end nearest Farmer Browns dooryard. Not far away was the barn. Even nearer was the hen house. Shadow knew all about both. He had visited both in his time. He licked his lips greedily as he looked ever toward the henhouse. It would be a perfectly simple matter to get over there and kill one of those hens. He was sorely tempted to try it. But just then he saw Farmer Browns boy walking over toward the hen- yard and he immediately decided he would have a look in the barn in stead. There were always rats and mice in that barn. At least there all ways had been when he had visited 1t before.
 So Shadow darted over 10 Farmer Browns barn. He didn't take any particular pains to keep out of sight. You see. he knew perfectly we'll that he wasn't likely to be seen. He was 50 white that on that white snow it was hard work 10 see him even when you knew right where he was. So he he q ,ttith l. culty. Almost at once he caught q fat mouse. This was d good be- ginning. It ought 10 have been enough for such little fellow as Shadow, but it wasn't. It simply filled him with hot desire to catch another. Tine desire 10 hunt and kill tingled through every vein of him.
 Presently Shadow discovered q three-quarters grown rat. He was more than twice as big as Shadow He was q young rat without eAper- fence, or Le wouldn't have stopped and shown his teeth at Shadow. Had he been an old rat he would have taken to his heels and run for his life. But he was young rat. This was his first sight Of Shadow the Weasel. He guessed who it was, be- cause he had been told about Shad- ow At first he stopped out of cur josity, just to see what Shadow looked like. Then. seeing how much smaller Shadow was than l.. hmiself he said 10 himself Pooh! Why should 1 be afraid of that little fpl- low? I'll show him my teeth and scare him half 10 deatb.'
 So the foolish young rat showed Shadow his teeth, and that was the last thing he ever did do. He didn't even have time 10 feel frightened No. sir, he didn't even have time to be frightened You know one can

move more quickly than Shadow the Weasel. It is difficult to believe that any one can move as quickly as he can. So. almost before he was through boasting to himself, the young rat was no more and Shadow was on his way looking for more trouble. I guess it is mistake to say that he was looking for trouble. He wasn't looking for trouble. ln- stead he was taking trouble to oth- CTS.

Magic Umbrella That Can Not Be Raised

THE magician borrows an UNI
IL brella and then requests some
one in his audience to come for
ward and act as his assistant. He
begins the trick by holding the UNI
brella so that the ferrule lies in
the open palm of his right hand,
and then directs his assistant to

The conjurer tells his assistant
to lift the umbrella, but he is I'M
able to do so. Here is the secret
Of the trick:
Before appearing in front Of
his audience the conjurer has
made a loop Of black thread that
is large enough so that when he
slips one end Of it over a vest but
ton, it will pass around his body,
across his back and down his right
coat sleeve, the free end being
just long enough to slip over the
little finger Of the right hand.
The loop is adjusted so that the

NIT him to extend his right arm
far enough to cause the exposed
thread to vanish up his sleeve.
The magician next draws the
loop Of thread over his finger. AS
he faces his audience he tells his
assistant to hand him the UNI
brells, which he holds in the
centre and turns the ferrule end
to his right.
Next he grasps the ferrule end
with his right hand, at the same
time running the ferrule through
the loop Of thread. As he does
this he makes the loop rest against
the cloth of the umbrella.
The conjurer now requests his
assistant again to hold the um-
brella by its handle. Now the
magician moves his left hand from
the centre of the umbrella toward
the ferrule where the loop Of
thread has been placed. He then
removes his right hand and turns
his open palm to the audience.
