SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden

Won, your children more especi-
= ally, are constantly exposed
to the possibility of a no less
dreadful disease than that of dip
liberia. The medical profession,
especially as represented in pub
lie health administration, Is con-
stantly trying to protect you
against the ravages of this NAL
ady. A systematic campaign of
this Kind. recently carried on in
New York. will serve to show,
first, the kind of work that is
being done in your behalf and,
next, the way in which you can
help to make such a campaign
successful.
The New York campaigners do
not pretend to think. that they
have solved the problem; they are
still in the stage Of trial and
error, but their interim" report
of five years of intensive cam
paign against diptheria is full of
interest for all who are interested
in public health.
They found that publicity alone
was no good; posters and adyer-
tisements did not stimulate the
individual to action. That must
be done through getting at the in
diVidual child, or at the individual
parent by a house-to-house can
yass. Best of all is the house-to-
house argument, presented con-
cretely and individually.
Diptheria Is most deadly in
large places. 1t is less prevalent
in the country than in the small
village. Its mortality is, how
ever. high in the country because
of the difficulty of getting med
ical aid.
It Is greatest of all among chill.
dren under S, though children
from 5 to . suffer most when
they get it. The experience of
the New York workers is that the
most difficult people to get inn.
munized are just those who suffer
most from the disease; the pre-
school children and the country
folk. On the other hand, three
doses of toxin-antitoxin will render
immune a higher percentage Of
town children than of country
children, and more OF the younger
children than at the higher ages.
They do not do the Shick test,
but concentrate on getting the
three doses administered to the
child.
The campaign they are aiming
at is the community type, where
everybody gets together and boosts
for toxin-antitoxin. The value of
this prevention has been proved
conclusively several times. Last
year Utica, a town with a popula-
ton of 100, 900, had just over 1000
children immunized with the three
doses. During the following fall
there were three cases of diph.
iberia and no deaths. Among the
1900 children who had not been
irnmunlZed there were. during the
same fall, 81 cases of diphtheria
and IA deaths. In other words,
the case rate was about IL times
as high among those who had not
had their toxin-antitoxin.
The campaign has as its object
the making of immunity to d1ph.
liberia a private responsibility.

LISTEN, WORLD!
Ckew q Cad!
By Elsie Robinson

First, by realizing what you
are-AND WHAT YOU AREN'T!
YOU'RE a lot to yourself old
dear, but you aren't such big
pumpkins to the rest of the
world. This information may
come as a rude shock to you.
( 1T does to most OF us. Never
theless, it's decidedly healthy and
1t will save you q lot OF grief
il you'll assimilate it.
Next-sink your teeth in this:
The other fellow is just as impor.
tant as you are. His life means
just as much to him as yours
means to you.
He feels the same things you
feel, though his feelings may
function under a sweat.stained
shirt and yours under tailored
broadcloth. And hundred years
from now your grandchildren
will be grinning at both of you.
Get these two facts firmly
fixed in your mind and the rest
will follow after. For when you
once realize your own unimpor-
lance and the other fellows inn
portance you'll be able to laugh
and love and endure anything
Fate hands you.
That's the cud on which many
a man chews when his life goes
fiat.
And to me, it's a nobler thing
to endure the empty hours
bravely than 1t Is to enjoy the
full ones.
FOR ANY POOR SAP CAN
BE HAPPY IF GOD PUTS ON

BUT IT TAKES A MAN TO
CHEW HIS CUD AND CARRY

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
By helen ROWIand.
What Price Beauty


JUST at this moment lots Of
- women are waiting to learn
what will be the fashionable fall
shades in hair. Copper and silver
seem to be in the lead, but gold
is always good with gentlemen.
No matter what color of hair
God gave a woman she always
yearns to change it.
To want to improve on nature
by changing your personal color
scheme IL the most human In
stinct in the world! II you don't
believe it you can go way back
and ask the ancient savages who
used to dye their hair a bright
vermilIion and paint their faces
until they resembled a modern
beach umbrella. Or, better still,
you can step right out on the
avenue any afternoon at tea time
and ask some Of the hundred or
more modern ones who are Rotten
IN like complete works OF art.
To be born beautiful saves a
woman not only a lot OF heart
aches, but a lot Of money, In
these days when beauty is one
of the prime necessities OF life.
It il this atavistic instinct for
self-coloration on which the
beauty profiteers" thrive and
fatten and make their tainted-or
tinted-millions.
Men are continually soothing at
the modern girl for the atrocitles
she commits against nature, via
the rouge pot and the vanity case.
Butsit IL the MEN, not the women
who have turned beauty from a.
luxury Into a necessity.
II you doubt it just offer to In
troduce one of them toNa "fascl-
natingly homeIy' woman or to
girl with only charms of the mind
and beauties of the soul. Try TO
make them dance with your sweet,
artIess little country coustn VINO
thinks a lipstick an invention OF
the devil. Or with your famous
hizhbrow friend who scorns a
permanent wave and face powder.
II it weren't for the men and
their childlike worship of beauty
half the beauty specialists would
go out Of business within week!
The high cost of beauty is what
keeps half the men in this coun-
try riding in limousines and the
other half with their noses to the
grindstone.
Think of a poor, Woodworking
girl cheerfully paying 81 for the
latest shape in eyebrows, $40 for a
hair-tint that will last only six or
seven weeks, and $500 or $500 for
a new face, complete, every year
or so!
And that isn't all! II all the
means and tears Of the women
who have their faces peeled, starve
themselves to skeletons and go
through the sacred rites and tor
lures of the permanent wave
could be collected they would make
Niagara Falls sound like a whis.
per and look like a garden spray!
And all for what? To be charm
ing to some man who regards
beauty as a necessity" character
as a luxury and brains as an at.
tlctiQn-ln woman. 1890.
