LISTEN, WORLD
The POwer of Gentleness
By ELSIE ROBINSON

But these acts of gentle kindness
have not failed me. They nave
persisted. They have held my lie
together, although | did not re-
alize it at the time they happened.
l wonder if gentleness isn't ac'
tually the most powerful influence
on earth-the thing that has done
most to change brute impulse INTO
human nature. The little friendly
services we accept as matter Oh
course
That time Eliza Adams helped
me cut my first baby dress. and
1 so young and frightened
And that night, 81 years after
when another friend sat watching
with me, giving me the strength
to go on living with a broken
heart
The jar of sour dough a miner
brought to me, through the storm,
when my boy and 1 were out OF
bread
The hour of friendly advice
tired, busy man, called Arthur
Brisbane, gave to me, across MS
clamoring desk, with never
word to hurt my ignorance
The columns that sports writer's
and sob sisters, city editors and
reporters have written for me
when l was taking the count
The patterns and books and
loaves of gingerbread and slips
of gera mum and plates Of honey
comb-how large they loom now
in my life, how they strengthened
and inspired me! I suspect that
just such acts as that loom larg'
est in civilization-that they have
done more to lift men up to GOD
than all the sermons and wars.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

THE valiant and successful fight
l. that is being waged by the
Anti-Tuberculosis League against
the white plague encounters
many difficulties. Perhaps in no
disease, more than in consumption,
has the outlook changed so much
in recent years. With the progress
of modern research the horizon has
widened, problems have multiplied
and the work to be done increased.
In that common disease a num-
ber Of conditions must be studied
and provided for, including medi-
cine, sociology, psychology and
economics.
A diseased organ is now consid-
cred in relation to its environment.
Formerly it was only the affected
organ, apart from the rest Of the
body, that attracted attention, but
gradually the conception of the in
teraction of organ and organism.
and the interplay of forces, re-
sistance and immunity, were taken
into account.
1t is now essential to go a step
further by recognizing that en-
Vironment plays an important
part, not only in the propagation
of but also in the fight against
disease when it is once established.
AS soon as the social aspect of
cure and prevention is established,
educational health work takes its
rightful place in the State.
1t is obvious that for the con-
sumptive an environment must be
provided in which the following
considerations have due weight:
The functional power of the dam.
aged organ within the patient
must be protected 80 as to avoid
excessive strain or, indeed. fur
ther impairment, and the patient
as a whole must be so situated
as to avoid opportunities which
may impair his power of resistance
and recuperation.
These ideas represent a great
advance on that Of the mere pas
siVe or active treatment Of disease.
Their acceptance postulates
study of social and economic laws
too often neglected in the treat
ment of disease. They open up
a new field of research and an
overwhelming scope of industrial
condition of employment, both
for the healthy and for those
who cannot keep pace with the
able bodied and are potential
carriers Of disease $3.50

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
What Is YOUR Brand of Lover
BY Helen Rowland

What Is YOUR Brand of Love?
once, love was believed to be
" divine flame of the spirit; now
it is regarded as merely a "biolog-
ical urge" sugar-coated with ro-
nance and Favored with curiosity.
But '1ove" is a word which
every man has always defined ac'
cording to his own symptoms.
And the secret of happiness con-
sists in finding the man or woman
whose definition agrees with your
own.
You may differ in your literary
tastes, your ideas on interior
decoration and your notion of
perfectly broiled steak; but II you
look at LOVE from the same
angle, you at least start ION the
same wire"
Love is as old as Adam-and as
new as the last word" from
Paris.
Love is as wise as the prophets
and as foolish as second childhood.
Love is as changeless as the
stars-and as tickle and uncertain
as'the moon and the weather.
Love is the soul Of unselfishness
and the most merciless tyrant
in the world.
Love is the distilled essence of
spirit and purity-and the triple
extract Of sin.
Love is the dope" which makes
a strong man weak-and the
stimulant which makes a weak
man strong.
Love is comradeship sprinkled
with star-dust; love is passion
thinly covered with Imagination
and sentiment.
Love is a wild flower which
springs up where it Is least ex-
pected and thrives and flourishes
on neglect. Love is a delicate
orchid which requires constant
care and scientific cultivation.
Love is the goad to jealousy
and the staff of sublime faith.
Love is the magic and mystery
which caused Abelard's heart to
remain steadfast forever-and
caused Solomon's heart to change
0oyen hundred times.

WHEN I'm very tired I go to
Bautista where the quail call
across the plaza at sunrise and
the falling locust blossoms, honey
sweet, crumble in the sleepy dust
When ! come to the inn there
are always roses on the wash
stand. Thick Spanish roses. smell
ling Of cinnamon-white moss
roses, ragged robin roses, their
crimson petals scattering over the
rag rug-sweet brier. spicy sharp
lemon verbena and Glove pinks.
Each time 1 come there is a
bouquet waiting for me, to put
beside a picture that / always
carry. Mayme Clancey puts it
there, knowing how it comforts
me.
Afterward, as rest on the bal
cony, giving myself up to the
ouietness, Lawrence Jeter comes,
smiling. and brings me a glass of
milk or cider. And little Fred
die Beck, who is 4. leans agalanst
nv knee and offers me a jelly
bean or a cookie with only one
bite gone.
So my friends welcome me when
go to them tired.
L am just beginning to realize
how much such welcomes have
meant in my life. Looking back
now, + feel that such small, gentle
acts have really been the most inn
portant things that have happened
to me. All the rest-the fierce
planning, the struggle, the noisy
success, the battles and adven'
tures-have. all dropped through
NV fingers like bright glass beads.

Saued from trip to hospital
Doctor told this man h0,c to au0id q common
 cause of rupture

I1KE 50 many, this man had L a slight tendency to hernia. The doctor who examined him said there was no real rupture, only q weakness.
 "Go easy," he warned, "and above all don't strain yourself in any way. One of the most common causes of rupture is ex- cessive straining to relieve a con- gested system. Yet so few people ever suspect it. For one thing, take Nujol regularly. It will probably save you a trip to the hospital. l advise all my patients who've had abdominal opera tions to take it, too, to avoid the danger of another break" Nujol, taken regularly, avoids this risk. It provides an easy, natural method of regulating body functions. Keeps every thing normal without effort. It not only prevents the excess of body poisons i've all have them) from forming, but aids in their removal.
 A surprising number of people men especially = are sus- ceptible to hernia. Take a tip from Mis mans experience and play safe. Take Nujol regularly. Nujol was perfected by the Nujol Laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey). Try it for } months and you'll never want to be
 without it again.

 Two or three teaspoonfuls of Null sified is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy father which cleanses thor oughly and. rinscs out easily. remov- ing every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
 It leaves the hair soft, silky and easy to manage and makes it fair ly sparkle with new life, gloss and lustre.
