SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden-

YOUR child is more or less a
4 bundle Of impulses. That -
all the character 1t possesses. Its
inhibitions are only beginning to
be developed. As they develop
from painful experiences, its
impulses-that is to say its re-
action to stiniIi, external and in
ternaI--are said to be brought
under control"
Impulsive acts in children de-
serve the special attention of par
ents and teachers because they
enable us. by their very nature,
to determine with considerable
accuracy not only the child's
makeup but also the outlook for
it's mental health. The knowl'
edge of this special side of the
child's life is important for pre-
ventive measures.
The principal and most primi-
tive law Of nervous activity is the
reflex act. II sharp point
touches us, we jump; wo do not
know we are going to jump and
we do not intRnd to jump, but it
happens all the same. That is a
reflex and automatic reaction to
an external stimulus, the pin. AS
our development advances the
tendency to direct reflex action
becomes controlled, and thus a
blind force is transformed into a
conscious and determined one.
Impulsive actions are the ex-
preston of reflex phenomenon
and are normal as long as they
are under the control of the
higher centers of the brain, but
they become unhealthy when the
equilibrium Is interrupted.
They are rapid and sudden and
often repeated in a paroxysmal
manner. The child may be con-
scious o fthem, but unable to con-
troll them, be quite unaware OF
them. The acts may depend on
the exigencies of life or be quite
unrelated to it.
They may take the form OF
gestures or words, ridiculous acts,
stupid of extravagant acts, re-
pulsive acts, wandering off aim
lessly, thefts, destructive or in
Cendiary acts or acts of violence.
The problem is, therefore, a very
vast one.
Here is one example: A girl Of
3 had had q series of infectious
diseases-measles, whooping cough
and ia-andaeveloped the
curious habit of suddenly walking
off for minute in the middle OF
a conversation or at the table,
and then would stop. surprised at
herself and quite unable to re-
member what had occurred.
Children of advanced years who
continue to perform strictly inn
pulsive acts cannot be regarded as
normal. They lack contro! and
equilibrium. Very often they
show other signs of abnormality,
such as lying, deception, queer
feeling toward relatives, cruelty
or apathy. Sometimes they are
brilliant, clever and precocious.
Upon their management in these
early years their whole future de-
depends. Their mode of living.
life must all he different from
that Of normal children. The
preparation for the future, for
adolescence and manhood or wom-
anhood should aim differently
from the preparatory measures
applied TO normal life Intellectual
life must not be forced or has.

ANCE Tor TOUR years WoTkeu
" in the mines.
1t was a desolate country. There
were only few of us, working
long distances apart in lonely
gullies. Life like that's test of
people. Most of them go to
pieces pretty soon.
There were a couple of old
English people living out in the
chaparral. He was nearly 20 and
she at least 63. There was some
mystery about their pasta
great love that had smashed
through all their safety stations
and left them stranded up in that
lost end of the world, 25 years
before. At first they had worked
a small farm, but it wasn't farm
ing country, so they'd taken tn
scratching up and down the
creeks, like the rest of us, and
managed to get enough pay dirt
to keep them in beans.
When I met up with them they
were as scanned and gnarled and
dumb as the little scrub oaks that
chung to the sun-baked hills. IT
was hard to tell which of the
two shapeless, faded bundles Of
rags and heavy mining boots
was man. which a woman. They
lived in tumbled down shack and
spent their days panning along
some old water course that the
Chinese had picked clean so years
before.
At four she would quit work,
and go back to get their supper.
Nine times out of ten it con.
sisted of jack rabbit stew and
beans. Sometimes, very seldom,
someone would give them a bit Of
beef or a few fresh vegetables.
Often. l suspect. they went
hungry.
But-and this Is the real story
whatever the food, or lack of it,
when she came to the table, she
had put aside her dingy mining
clothes and donned an ancient
evening dress. Once. in days re.
mote, 1t had been trailing black
net glittering with seuuins,-ef

That's why there is so much
laughter among the gods and
weeping of angels! Marriage is
the longest shot in the woodland
picking a winner requires the
Judgment of Solomon, the skill OF
Tunney, and the luck of Lind
bergh.
The man who would be q prize
husband" for me might me just a
blank for you-and vice versa.
The world is full of men who
would make prize husbands for
SOME women, but are nothing
but blanks to the women who
drew them.
The prizes are plentiful-but it's
picking the winners that stumps
us. You can't tell them by their
shape, weight, height or color.
Nor even by their dancing feet,
their line" their love making or
the way they spend their pocket
money.
But there are certain ear
marks that apply to ALL Prize
Husbands.
A prize husband, as Sam Hill
saws. is one who thinks, after 30
years, that HE won a prize. in
stead of that SHE caught a
sucker.
He may not be the most fasci'
mating man in the world, but he
is the one who believes that YOU
are the most adorable woman In
the world.
