Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
(BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN) Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia

(BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN)
 Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine
 Tho word "cripple" comes from an Anglo Saxon word meaning to creep and from the word dwarf.
 From the earliest times. cripples were cruelty treated. It was cus- tomary for superstitious persons to attacht them an "evil spirit.
 The tribes that travelled about found the cripple In the way and endeavored 10 lose him.
 Only in modern times has hu- manitarianism changed the atti- tude of man toward the defective so that today efforts are made to rehabilitnte the disabled and to make them capable of becoming self-supporting individuals.
 A small hospital for the crippled was opened in Boston in 1859. and a hospital for the ruptured and crippled in New York city was es- abolished in 1883. Since that time. American surgeons have given spe- cial study to these problems. A school for the education and in- dustrial training of crippled chill dren was opened in Boston in 1893. Today there are hundreds of com petent surgeons in the United States who devote all of their time to the care of the crippled.
 r. ho vacant ly surveyed the legal situation of the crippled child. Tn 1897 the state of Minnesota passed the first legisla- ton representing acceptance by tho state of its responsibility for the treatment and care and education of the crippled. New York fol- lowed in 1900 and Massachusetts in 1905.
 Tn 1925 the state of New York passed law which requires that all children who are physically handl- capped must be reported in the an- nual school census each year. Ohio, Pennsylvania. North Dakota. Michi- gan. Kansas and West Virginia now have enlightened legislation for the control of this problem.
 Many of tho great philanthropic foundations give special attention to the crippled. Masonic groups. Elks. Rotary clubs and Kiwanis clubs are also especially interested in the care of the crippled children.
 Medical research has begun its attack on the problem with the newer investigation on the develop ment of tho bones. whereby rickets Is largely overcome. Tuberculosis is largely prevented on a larger scale. Infections of the bones and joints arc being attacked with all of the armamentarium of modern science.
 The big problem of the future ia the control of one of the most dan- gerous of all crippl,ng diseases. in- fantile paralysis. Specialists have become aware of the dangers Of un- restricted manipulation during the state of acute Inflammation.
 With proper handling. the amount of crippling in this disease may be greatly diminished.

Lillian Seems Disturbed Over Her

 Lillian started perceptibly at my question concerning Dicky and the red bearded man.

The next second, however, she was herself again. and there was no tiniest crack ill her armor Of poise.
 "Ob. yes. you did tell me that Dicky appeared 10 know the man and share some sort of joke with him." she said with the air of re- membering something inconsequent. But that's not hing to lose any sleep over. You can be very sure that the Dicky-bird isn't mixed up. even re- motely, with anything evolutionary he's too much of conservative.'
 "You know l didn't think anything of the sort" l said hotly, then at her low laugh realized that l had been drawn.

However, that doesn't alter the fact that I'm going to have a tiny pow-wow with your husband the very first opportunity l have after his arrival this evening, and get the low down on this red bearded chap. Dicky always did have the most nondescript collection of derelict acquaintances in the world even in his earlier days, and his war sojourn over seas didn't de- crease the collection any. And you know the Dicky-bird. All he asks of q man Is that he be able to furnish a laugh But I may be able to get line on the chap from your gifted husband. so please mike me when he gets here. I'll be tuned in and listen- ing"
 You shall be mixed" I assured her. and then she rose. elaborately concealing a yawn-altogether too exaggeratedly, I thought with sud
