Never listen to the man who
tells YOU all your little faillnGs
because he's your honest friend.
Find a nice Dishonest friend who
will lie like a gentleman or
lady rather than depreciate you.
When we marry, We always do
so in the fond expectation of get
ting permanent cheer leader
and unqualified admirer. Love
dies when we discover that We
have acquired only a life-criric.
Love seldom dies from a big
wound in the heart, but nearly
always from thousand little
stabs in the vanity and pin pricks
in the self-esteem.
Nothing so takes the heart out
of a man as To be told that he's

SECRETS OF

BY DIR. Brice Belden-

YOU may be the victim, or have
4 friends that are victims Of
sinus disease. BY this / mean in

nation, of one or more of the air
filled spaces that surround the
eyes and nose. This is not sim
pie condition affecting the patient
only, but problem that must be
considered and dealt with by rec
ognizing and managing the whole
family as a clinical unit.
The disease is characterized at
the beginning by all the signs that
we associate with cold but in
addition there is a heavy yellow
ish or greenish yellow discharge
from the nose or dropping from
the nose into the throat. This
material is the paramount and un-
mistakable sign that the condi-
ton is more serious than any
cold. When it begins to change
in color from yellowish or vel
low green to a gray or grayish
white, then the germs are begin
ming to lose their battle, but this
does not mean that the patient
is cured; on the contrary this
may be the point at which an
acute infection passes into an OBJ
stinate chronic one.
When child has a chronic
sinus infection its nose is often
stuffy and stopped up, and the
slightest draught or chill will
bring on cold" The child
nearly always breathes through its
mouth. and the removal of tonsils
and adenoids does not cure the
habit or improve the health. The
child's nose is constantly or re-
currently wet or sticky OF crusty
and liable to be sore.
The child shifts, clears its
throat, sneeZes more than usual,
shores at night, often suffers
from earache and hoarseness and
sometimes has glands in the
neck.
This unpleasant condition is
contracted through direct or in
direct contact with someone Else
who has the disease In an acute
state. When the disea Sc is lying
quiescent. an attack may be
brought on by chilling. oYerexer-
ton or breathing i'll a lot OF dust

good luck will save the children

will contract it from brothers
and sisters, unless all direct face

some vision of Truth and some

however imperfectly. IL you will
search for those patterns you will
come upon beautiful things. For
no one is commonplace. Each

Baltimore, Nov. 15.-(AP)-Her-

Der of votes cast for him in the

rather than a personal tribute.
Writing to r. 4. Edmonds, editor
of the Manufacturers Record, Mr..
Hoover said that with one-third of

three-fifths Of its sea frontage, with
vast resources in soil, climate and
minerals, no limit can be set upon
the continued progress and ever in
creasing prosperity of the whole
SOUTH" His letter was in response
to request for his view on this sec.
ton.
The president-elect declared that
he was profoundly appreciative Of
the extremely heavy vote cast
Throughout the south" for himself
and Vice-president Elect Curtis.
II accept this VOTE" he said, mot
as a personal tribute, but as an ex-
preston of a developing sentiment
throughout the south on behalf Of
the things for which the Republican
party has stood in this campaign
He added that it was his firm belief
that the time had come when voters
throughout the country should cast
their ballots on their convictions Al
to conditions and not make "things
Of former generation" the basis o1
their vote.
Giving assurance that his admin
istration would 'know no difference
between north, south, east ant
west," but "seek to deal with ebso
lutte fairness to every section Of oul
common country" Mr.. Hoover
pledged his cooperation in the de
velopment of flood control projects
