SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. "A. I. Reed

You doubtless at some time
1 have had growing pains"
"lumbago "gout," tender
joints" sore muscles" Or you
may have had what the doctors
have told you was either q syno-
Wits or rheumatic fever. AS a
matter of fact, they are all the
same in character, differing only
in degree and in the structure or
locality in which they occur.
They all are rheumatism.
II you haven't had these ex-
periences yourself, doubtless your
child or children have had one
or more of them.
rheumatism, however slight,
always may be the cause, sooner
or later, of heart disease. And
heart disease is now one OF the
chief causes of death. When
rheumatism kills it kills by the
heart. The prevention of fheu-
matism, especially in children, is
therefore of very great impor-
lance. 1t is for that reason that
the medical profession, both here
and in England, are giving much
attention to the subject.
The disease is very vague
one and not at all easily recog-
nizable, even by a specialist. 1t
reveals-or conceals-itself in
various forms OF disease, such
as debility, anemia, vague muscle
pains. indigestion and general
irritability.
We do not actually know what
is the nature or cause of rheu-
matism. Some say it Is a par
ticular constitution of the body;
some say a special infection. IT
it is due to infection, then the
right way to go to work would
be to discover the organism and
the means of making children
immune to it, and in the mean
time to remove the conditions
that favor infection. If, how
ever, the CONSTITUTIONAL view
is right, the most effective means
of prevention would be to invent
tests to discover what children
are liable and to concentrate on
protecting them.
I assume that the disease is al
ways an, infection.
The chief difficulty of proven.
ton has been that children are
not suspected of being rheumatic
until they are really ill. When
they are cared for at home thew
are not reported. When they go
to a hospital there is no connec-
ton or means of pooling records
of child rheumatic cases between
hospitals. The result is that doc
tors get no further in their study
of the disease by having large
numbers upon which to base con-
illusions.
The problem of preventing rheu-
matism must be attacked along
two distinct lines: Caring for the
heart of the already rheumatic
child and preventing children who
can be expected to becoA4e rheu.
matte from getting the disease.
Unless these two lines are kept
distinct there is no hope that they
will be successful.

There's the noble side to the
story of flaming youth. But
there's another, a tragic side.
Youth must have its adventure.
But when there are no great ad.
to be served--what then? Youth
still will find its adventure-the
ferment must out. If 1t cannot
start noble riots it will start
ignoble ones. If it cannot run
splendid risks, it will run squalid
ones. If It cannot leave the city
for a jungle it will make a jungle
in the city and run amuck.
That's what's happening in Amer
lea today. Life has become too
crowded and too safe. Where are
the frontiers-where are the risks?
Good schools aren't enough. Play
grounds and football fields and
gymnasiums aren't enough. Youth
wants causes. Youth wants chal.

What is getting on the nerves
of the Young Moderns is the
shocking chiIdishness and folly of
parents in the Flaming Forties
who are trying to give life-like
limitations of their sons and
daughters.
Girls are positively getting
wrinkles worrying about their
skittish mothers, and boys are
acquiring headaches trying to
keep tabs on their frivolous
fathers.
1t has reached a point where a
young girl can't do anything orig
inal or startling but the first
thing she knows her mother is
trying it on!" The Flaming
Forties are in the saddle, and
have the Jazzing Twenties on the
run!
Oh. have a heart, Daughter!
Just remember that when Mother
was Is she was all tied up in
"verbotens," corset-strings and
conventions. Her curving calves
and dimpled knees were hidden
under a bushel of petticoats; her
weight of pompadour, and her
throat strangled in a wired
"choker."
She carried three yards of ex.
cess baggage in the form of a
trailing skirt, and spent most Of
her time proving that she was
"a lady" She was a whited
desires!
Now she is EXPRESSING
HERSELF for the first time in
her life. She is having her be-
lated "fling!'
Give this little girl a hand!
She is positively EXPLODING
with all the youthful effervescence
that has been bottled up inside
her all these years. She was
cheated out of her youth. and
now she is collecting all the

if at 40, she tries to l. TX like 20
and cuts up like 60?
Be patient and forbearing with
her, Daughter. Remember that
all she knows of life she learned
at YOUR knee! All her wild ways
are YOUR ways, and all she
knows Of rouging, dancing, smok-
ing and petting, YOU taught herl
You can't CONTROL the Older
Generation until you set them a
better example-or show cause
why they are not entitled to life,
liberty and the pursuit of little
more happiness.
There rs a life after 40! Mother
