Presumably the Commissioners must into the entire police

Are papas and mamas people?
Or are they community property?
Here's the story which prompted
this particular query. Ed and
Angie have been married eleven
years. Two children, nice home,
small car, fine standing in the
community. One hundred per cent
successful American family, you'd
say. But here's the boil weevil In
their crop of content. Ed gets
letters. From an old schoolmate
"a female. Ed has repeatedly ex'
planned to Angie that this CORE

about interesting things-politics

things like that.

why" reasons Angie, should
a woman write to a man unless
she's in love with him? And IL
any woman's making love TO
my husband I'm going to know
it,"
Thus reasoning, Angie read the
lady's last letter and found, to her
chagrin, just what Ed had told her
she would find-talk. Not even
"dearie." But she's even more
convinced that there's Something
Doing. And she is also convinced
that she has a. perfect right 20

''You are my wife and the

Ed in that nasty-nice voice pecu-

"Applesauce," sneers Angie.
"You can't fool me. You know
perfectly well you're carrying on
an affair."
This is not an outline for a
comic strip. This is an accurate
picture of the average American
attitude toward marriage and the
rights Of men and women in mar
rage. I'm willing to wager that
999 out of 1 200 women would have

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

YOU are startled every once in
4 a while by newspaper re-
ports of serious illness, even
deaths, caused by, for the time
being, unexplained food poisoning,
The resources Of science are now
so far.reaching that they sooner
or later reveal the secrets Of these
mysterious occurrences.
An instance Of this kind was an
outbreak Of belladonna poisoning
that once puzzled the doctors who
were called in. They, however.
finally discovered that the family
had been eating a breast OF NUT.
ton stuffed with sage. This was
all right, but, somehow, whoever
had cut the sage had managed to
cut with it a good deal Of deadly
nightshade as well, and the leaves
had been eaten with the stuffing.
Another, but rare, cause OF food
poisoning is the accidental mix"
ture of poisonous substances with
food. Fruit-growers spray apple
trees with arsenic to keep down
insect pests, but this practice may
be highly dangerous. In fact, poi
sonous doses Of arsenic have been
found on apples taken from a
sprayed tree, and the moral is to
wash we'll or peel all apples, pears
and pIums. 1t is impossible to
peel cherries, but they do not
seem to be often responsible for
poisoning.
1t should be remembered that
food poisoning is not g. general
infection of food with any kind
of germ, but is caused by mi
crobes of a particular kind. and
prevention depends on hunting
the offenders down to their
source. Salmonella do not live
naturally in our insides, but are
common in diseased animals, and
it is probable that many out.
breaks are due to the use of dis
eased animals for food. More
often, however, the bacillia get
on the food from outside, gen.
orally from the handling they
get either in storage or in prep
aration. Infection is sometimes
carried by flies or vermlne IN
diaries, slaughter houses, etc.
The first principle of prevention
Ia therefore to find the reservoir
OF these bacilli and kill them.
The second principle is to ensure
scrupulous cleanliness in the food
trades, especially by the enforce
ment of meat regulations. the
third principle Is to take much
greater care in the treatment OF
made-up foods. The need for care
is universally recognized in the
production of bread, and all civil
lied countries enforce the registra-
ton of bakeries. It is no less
important to register all premises
where made-up foods are pro-
duced.
The individual is practically de-
fenceless, except that he can OBJ
tain a certain measure of FRO
lection by observing strict rules
of cleanliness in his food, and by
obtaining his food from reliable
sources. This is. as a rule, easier
in the town than in the country,
where there may be only one
butcher within reach and an in
fected pig may be responsible for
much illness and many deaths.

All the magazines are clamor-
ing for love-stories and articles
on love and marriage. And all
the songs that come to you over
the radio are love-ballads about
gardens and moonlight and broken
hearts and old-fashioned sweet
hearts. Beautiful signs OF the
times.
We may talk about safe and
sane new modes of marriage,
moan that all the worlds going to

vail that the modern man Is just

modern girl as unsentimental as

sentiment?

mercialize sentiment, If there were
not a large and profitable market
for it. Greeting card firms and
makers of valentines are not al

are giving the public what it Is

Commentaries Sentiment

Commercialized Sentiment
AN enterprising greeting card
IA firm is making an attempt to
establish a "Sweethearts Day." in
June.
This may be commercialized,
but it is one OF a hundred good
signs, that we see on every side
these days. Tt is a sign that the
world WANTS sentiment, that
romance is not dead. and that
young love has not yet Joined the
Dinosaurs.
All the most popular screen
plays are highly colored with
romance, gooey with sentiment,
and replete with plain old-fash-
toned Iove-the kind that father
used to make. All the most
popular screen stars are the great
lovers and the enchantresses.
The Washington times., 1928-03-28

We are sick Of champagne and
truffles and caviar, and hunger
ing for good old-fashioned food
for the soul and the affections
and the emotions. We are tired
of canned theories, and canned
love-making and bottled thrills.
We are thirsting for the glamor
and the glory of romance-even
though we may have to take
them vicariously. We've GOT to
have our sentiment, just as we've
got to have our oxygen and our
water and our food.
