SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DE-. Brice BeIden

by OFs DIlCG DGtuEN~@
IF only we would learn to prac-
1 tice self-control! II only We
would check ourselves in the per-
nicious habit of going to extremes!
We eat either too much or too
little. We sleep more than we
should or decidedly less than is
consistent with good health. We
tend to excuses as regards tea,
coffee, alcohol and tobacco.
Most of us also work with
speed and application that Is
bound to undermine the nervous
system and lower the resistance
Of the body to disease. Others.
again, even in play, go at 1t with
such unbounded enthusiasm and
vigor that too great strain is
put upon the heart and other
organs.
We zigzag through life. We
make wide excursions in opposite
directions. We seem to be guided
by the principle that II we travel
too far one way we must counter
act it by travelling equally far the
other way.
In America everybody is fasci-
mated by the ''get-there" spirit.
It's like an obsession. Our young
men and women grow up with the
idea of achieving in the shortest
possible space of time.
How long will it take?" What
short cuts can / make?" How
can / get that first million the
uuickest?'' Thoughts such as
these are the primary motivations
of the men and women of today.
No wonder, then, that self-con-
troll has become sort of side is
sue. Push hard, fast and furious
bust-who cares!
That's why nervous and mental
disorders are so strikingly on the
increase in these United States
of ours. 1t also explains why
heart conditions continue to take
such heavy tolls.
The practice of self-control is
really no more than the practice
of common sense,
The average person can eat,
drink and do what he likes, pro-
vided he exercises in moderation.
He can also work hard and with
vim and zeal, so long as he knows
when to stop, when and how to
relax.
Even our thinking is too often
extravagant. 1t is over-boastful.
er-ambitious, Owe r-optimlstic.
Common sense dictates that sue
cess Is not achieved in day, that
the careers of men and women,
outside of distinctly exceptional
cases, do not reach their zenith
over night, like a bull movement
on the stock exchange.
Still, thousands of individuals
throw the rules of reason and
temperance of speech. action and
imagination overheard and, be-
cause they keep on hoping they
may be the lucky exceptional ones,
they strain themselves to the
breaking point.

HINTS

The idea that the gums nor
mally bleed when the teeth are
brushed is an unwarranted super
stition, DIR. w. M. Gardner OBJ
serves in Hygeia. The gums are
covered by a tissue that protects
the more delicate underlying struc-
lures. The harder this tissue is
brushed, the thicker it grows.
Vigorous chewing Of coarse food
has the same effect.
When bleeding does occur. a
dentist should be seen for treat
ment, for bleeding gums are a
danger signal. Correct and per.
sistent use of a. small stiff brush
will stop the bleeding and pre-.
vent its recurrence unless the
gums are diseased.

PARTY PEACE
Controversial Questions in

By Uhtted Press
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 23.-Success
Of the Democratic prty depends
upon elimination Of controversial
questions from its platform, Senator
James A. Reed Of Missouri, Demo-

great party division, is the best as

Reed said.
''It is the conception of some that

the committee on resolutions to &C

then in the closing hours Of the
convention jam it through, the sue
