Cigarette smoking and short

modern flapper's health than the
conditions under which she lives ts
the verdict of the nations health
officials.
Lack of sufficient sleep and rest,
improper living conditions in re-
gard to heating and ventilation
and improper diet were given as
more important causes of tuber-
culosis and other respiratory dis
eases among women between the
ages of 10 and % years.
These facts We're brought out
through a nation wide survey OF
opinion recently conducted by the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION. The investigation was
prompted by reports coming from
! various health societies in recent
years to the effect that tubercu-
losis among women in the flapper
age coup was not deceasing so
rapidly as in others. Health officials
from more than $50 cities through.
out the United States contributed
their opinions.
The questionnaire used in the
survey was divided into four parts:

relative Importance OF certain
causes Of tuberculosis among girls

Lack of SLEEP Tuberculosis Cause

Irrelevant. Seventy-three did not
see fit to express an opinion.
The relationship between the
common cold and tuberculosis was
noted by nearly all of the officials
responding to the QUESTIONABLE.
Two hundred and thirty-eignt
stated that severe and prolonged
colds reduced the resistance of
the body to a degree which makes
1t easy for the tuberculosis germ
to get a foothold. Only IL saw
no relationship.
The home heating problem was
also given consideration. Over
heating or uneven heating was
considered an important factor in
causing colds, thus paving the
way for the more serious respi-
ratory diseases, by 225 of the $50
health chiefs. The large ma
iority agreed that the average
American home is overheated.
Early discovery and prompt
treatment were urged as the steps
of major Importance in checking
the spread of the disease. More
widespread distribution OF infor-
nation concerning the causes of
tuberculosis was also recon.
mended. as well as the establish
ments Of more public clinics and
sanatoria.

An Authority on Problems Of Love
and Marriage

.
1--WE of this era are called thrill
seekers" The younger generation
are accused Of measuring life in
terms OF thrills. Of seeking love
and marriage chiefly for thrills
they may bring.
Let us admit that the present
age does like pleasure and enjoys
the exquisite sensation the
agreeably stirring emotion" called
a thrill.
Almost all pleasant emotions are
thrilling the first time .i1ey are
experienced. But when they sue
coed each other rapidly it often
happens that the exciting newness
wears off, and the experience
ceases to be thrilling. That IS
why the person who deliberately,
continually seeks that stir of the
pulses called thrill Is likely TO
become so faded, 50 accustomed to
excitement and pleasure that he is
no longer capable of being thrilled.

Advice to LOvelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Betty. There is no reason why a
young man should not stay at
his fiancee's home, on her broth
er's invitation, provided her par.
ents are also present. 1t would
not be wise, however. for the
three young people to remain at
the house together without chap
eronage, for. while there might
not be anything wrong in any
way, yet their doing so would be
indiscreet and invite disagreeable
criticism.
The question of opening an.
others mail is settled in each
home by those most concerned.

just to respect the privacy of
other members of the family by
leaving their mail for themselves
