You will no longer want to nag

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

CONSIDERABLE doubt seems
~ TO exist as to what is meant.
exactly, by the term feebIeninded-
ness.
One often hears a child, who is
merely backward. referred to as
feeble-minded. Again, nervous
child, or one who is not popular
with his playmates or who other.
wise does not seem to behave az
average children, may be called,
and unjustly, defective or en-
feebled mentally.
Feeble-mindednes is q real,
definite and organic abnormality,
of the brain. 1t is due to the
fact that the nerve cells OF the
brain have not developed nor
maIly. Usually these nerve cells
are deficient in number.
Since there is so much confusion
about the term feeble-mindedness
a much clearer one, and one
adopted by scientific workers. is
Anentia. 1t is derived from the
Lation 'a,'' meaning without"
and mems" meaning "mind."
Using the word amentia, then,
TO designate all kinds and varie-
ties of mental effectiveness, one
can further subdivide the term to
include the three main degrees of
such defect, namely, that of the
idiot, which is the lowest, that of
the imbecile, which is the middle
grade, and that of the moron, the
highest grade.
There are special types OF
aments, however, who possess GER
tain special features such as an
unusually large head or an I'M
usually small one, or other dis,
tinguishing marks, which Ontitle
them to special diagnostic names
such as hydrocephalus C'water on
the brain'O, microcephalus (sman
headedness), etc. Each one of
these, however, from a mental
classification viewpoint, Is either
an idiot, an imbecile or a. moron.
There may therefore be hydro
cephalic idiot, a hydrocephalic inn
beetle or a hydrocephalic moron,
etc.. etc.
An ament is one who from birth
or from an early age, due to inn
perfect development of the brain,
is incapable OF taking care Of
himself and is unable to compete,
on equal terms with others of his
age who are normal.
In incurabIe cases, therefore, 1t
is necessary to discover just what
the patient is actually capable OF
doing. For this, special or "un-
graded classes have been devised
in the public schools and similar
systems of training are carried
out in institutions.
The highest grade cases, the
morons, are often difficult to rec.
ognize and differentiate. Many OF
them are SO nearly normal that
only an expert after repeated ex-
aminations with special mental
tests can discover that an organic
brain defect exists.
No case OF definite ament1a can
be absolutely cured and the pa
tient made 100 per cent normal

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
Woman,s weakest Link


NEVER waste time trying to
IN make woman happy by
telling her that she looks regal
or impressive or distinguished or
even. smart"
Tell her that she looks "cute." !"
OF course, beautiful or "sWell
or '.ravishing" will do. But why
take a detour when there is a
straight cut to her heart?
Secretly or subconsciously every
woman thinks of herself as cute.
She would rather be CUTE than
President! Or even than Peggy
Joyce or John D. Rockefeller or
the Queen of Rumania!
She always speaks OF herself
and her belongings in the dimlnu-
tive. 1t is always my little pink
voice" or ''ny little brown tam
or my little blue sports suit.
She fondly refers to her number
SKIES as my little silver pumps
or my little tan walking shoes.
"CUTE1' That's Wnat!
She may resemble the Washing
ton Monument or the latest liner,
but she can still console herseH
with the reflection that her ankles
are slender or that her nose 10
cute or that she wears a number
five glove! That's why we women
will always cling to the short
skirts and bobbed hair. They
make us feel "cute." They give
us that "half-portion feeling"
When blindly doting man calls
a hefty 160-pound woman "Cutey"
she doesn't even smile--or vince.
She FEELS that way, anyhow.
She's somebody's "little girl!'
It's perfectly safe to call g.
woman You little boob" but
positively fatal to call her "You
great big boob!' And no man
ever got very far with a woman
by calling her Fine, big, husky
girl"
The man who treats her like q
queen may flatter her. but it's
the man who treats her like a
baby or O. kitten who wins her.
Nobody understands this feminine
weakness-least Of all, woman her
self. From what prehistoric in
stinct it sprang, nobody can say
We know why dogs turn around
three times on a rug before lying
down, and why children are afraid
of the dark. But never, never
shall we discover why women
yearn to be CUTE!
Or why men prefer them that
way!

Told OF the tragedy as she entered. Mrs.
Murphy ran TO the living room, pushed
past the police and investigators who
stood there, and fell PROSTATE across
her husbands body.
Tint she cried. "Timl Oh, my
God! Tim!"
In a few moments she had regained
her composure.

Ran for Congress.
He was a good husband, she said.
No one but she knew the bignesS of
his heart or the extent Of his many
charities.
Timothy D. Murphy Though no one
ever spoke Of him except as Tim or
Big Tim) was q product Of back Of
the yards" As a boy he sold papers
outside the Armour q Co. ofices, the
late J. Ogden Armour having been one
Of his customers.
Long before the word 'racketeer"
was born Murphy had perfected himself
in the racketeer's technique. Politics
and labor organization drew him. He
was a Democrat by party and was
ticket in 1915. representing the fourth.
or back of the yards" district.
His political ambition went farther
and he aspired to Congress. coming
within ZOO votes of being elected.
Elect Big Tim Murply-He's a
Cousin of Mine" was the campaign
slogan.
It was as head of the Gas Workers
Union, however, that he found his forte.
Even during the years he served in
Leavenworth Prison he continued as
nominal head, with the capable Mrs.
Murphy carrying on until her husbands
release. early in 1926.
Only q few weeks ago the presidency
of the union passed from Big Tins
hands. He told friends he was beating
q friendly retreat for the good Of the
union and that he was continuing to
draw 800 weekly from the treasury
without title.
New rackets beckoned-organiZatio
of meat dealers, tire dealers, artists
models and finally the cleaning and
dyeing business. Mostly he kept in the
background.
Usual Racket Fails.
There was a police theory today that
Murphy wrote his death warrant when
he mixed into the cleaning and dyeing
racket, in which there has developed
dissension between rival factions seek
ing control. AL Capone recently be-
came associated with one group, his
name and underworld power being held
forth as threat that the other side
had better behave.
Police believe Big Tim sought to
force his way into control of the clean
ing-dyeing racket and for the first time
found business in which his
did not work. Police heard |
that Murphy went to the South Side |
several weeks ago for Q conference with |
Capone. despite q threat that II he |
aver appeared south Of the Loop dis |
trict he would be slain.
Since his release from Leavenworth |
he has been arrested once-December |
30. 1927. during q police roundup of |
Known gangsters. Murphy, who was |
released after few hours, protested, !
telling police he never carried a gun.
When raiders demolished an elab- |
orately equipped gambling house on the |
ar North Side several months ago Big |
Tim was named as part owner of it, |
MS partner being Nicky Arnstein of
New York.
