Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
(BY DIR. NOISES FISHBEIN) Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy.

Medical Association and of Fly.
 geia, the Health Magazine
 The blisters that sometimes occur around the mouth, the shingles that may occur along the ribs, or similar blisters on the eyes or on other parts of the body arc seen not only after diseases in which there is high fever, such as pneumonia or meningitis, but also in connection with common colds, disorders of digestion. changes from low to high attitudes, after the use of certain drugs and under many other circumstances.
 Investigators have attempted to find a specific cause for these con- ditions. perhaps a germ or a virus, but the evidence is not yet certain as to what part may be played by such a cause, and what part may be played by a condition of the nerves.
 If there is a virus-cause, 1t is probably so small that it cannot be seen under the microscope. It has been determined that 1t Is small enough to pass through the pores of filters that are able to filter out bac- teria.
 A consideration Of the investiga- tions of this condition made by Prof. Charles F. Simon, caused him to believe that the virus may be constantly present on the human skin or in the human body. and that | it is only under special conditions that it reacts to produce the types of blisters that are so familiar.
 Attempts have been made to find the relationship between this con- dition and chicken pox. also between this condition and epidemic ence- phalitis or Inflammation of the brain. The proof is not yet con- vincing of such relationships. There is evidence that there are 1 instances in which germs may live upon the human body and not cause disease until all of the circum- stances are favorable. The person who has the germs Is capable of transferring them to other people. He is called germ carrier.

BEAUTY How and Why
By Ann Alysis.


 An old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure certainly applies to the wrinkles which form around the eyes and fairly shriek to the world the fact that one is no longer young.
 Youth does not have wrinkles. you know. They may. and often do, have little creases, which are incipient wrinkles, but they are only shadows of coming events until ad- ded years deepen them into dreaded lines. The time to eradicate them is before they arrive. 50 to speak.
 Examine your face today. partic- ularly the corners of the eyes and the lids, the forehead. Arc you frowning and perhaps squinting in an effort to see better? If 70, your eyes need attention. Perhaps they ere tired from strain.
 Wha causes this strain? It may be that your lights arc not suffi- ciently strong. or that they are not we'll placed. If this be the case. correct 1t, and you have taken the first step toward preventinE the wrinkles caused by straining and puckering the eyes in ar effort to see.
 When reading, never face a win- dow or a lamp. Always sit 50 that the light comes from the side. pre- ferably the left side. Observing this simple. common sense rule will do more to prevent eye wrinkles than all the soothing creams and beauty treatments in the world. Take it to heart and follow it faithfully.

 It was not for another hour. how ever. that I was able to set the stage for her interview with Dicky. which she did not wish anyone to over hear. According to his tnvariable custom on his week-ends. Diaky took Junior upstairs for a bedtime romp before the boy went to sleep, and while he was gone it took all my ingenuity to inveigle. Mother Graham into bridge game with Katherine. Mary and Marion. l left myself free. in order to signal Lillian if anyone playing dummy should take it into her head to stroll out on the veranda, where knew my friend had planned to talk to Dicky.
 I did not need my elaborate pre- cautions, however. for Mother Gra- ham developed fussiness about the game--to do her justice-an un- usual occurrence-which kept the dummy of each round strictly at at- tention in her chair. And 1t was only I, half way between the bridge table and the windows opening upon the veranda, who heard Dicky's final explosive comment upon Lillian's indistinguishable. d. most inaudible murmurs.
 
 Well! I'll be-" he said, stop ping short, evidently remembering his mothers proximity. 50 that's what you've got in your noodle, Is it? We'll! you'd better get 1t out again. pronto."
 There was another murmur from Lillian, and then Dicks voice again, lower but still audible:
 No! I'm not going through any infantile rigmarole like that for you or anybody else. I'll just repeat that it's a fool idea which you'd better give the air."

 Uickey's eyes were almost muF- derops when in answer to his de- mand that I give up tutoring Elea- nor Lincoln. told him that ! should continue to teach the girl. knew that his fingers had the primi- tive itch to choke me into submis- sion, but the veneer of twentieth century civilization held, and after an eternity of second in which our hostile eyes held each other. he stepped back and bowed ceremoni- ously.
 "I had-forgotten-ou ment," he said, slowly. T shall not forget it again."
 He turned and went swiftly out of the door, while l fought and con- quered the impulse to call him back and promise anything he asked. There was terrifying finality in his tone which frightened me with tho suggestion of something inn minent mystifying. But the remem- brance of Edith FairfaX's pictured face and the message she had writ ten to my husband clamped my lips.
 A little later, when I had pulled myself together and had gone down. stairs again, I found that Dicky al- so had himself in hand. He treated me with exactly the same casual courtesy. neither frigid nor over cordial, which both he and by tacit agreement have used toward each other since that awful night of Grace Draper's suicide when I dis covered that he had suspected me of trying to poison him.
 Lillian drew me aside almost as soon as I came downstairs.
 Remember, you promised me . chance at the Dicky- -bird." she said. and as nodded, recalling her wish to question Dicky concerning his knowledge of the red bearded man, I wondered at the brightness of her eyes, and at the air of suppressed excitement which enveloped her like a cloak.

It didn't take Peter Rabbit long to find out when Reddy Fox had left. Peter didn't feel altogether comfortable down there in Johnny Chuck's house. Johnny has a way of grumbling to himself sometimes end his grumbling isn't pleasant. He was grumbling now. You see. he hadn't wanted to wake up, but when he was once awake he had had to go up and see how it was outside. He had sort of hoped that it was spring. When he had opened the door and poked his head out and found everything covered with snow Johnny had been a disgusted wood- chuck.
 So, after sitting on his doorstep a while, wishing ne could get some thing to eat, but knowing he couldn't Johnny had gone down back to his bedroom. He hadn't even waited to greet Peter Rabbit, who had start ed from the Old Briar-patch, lip perty-lipperty-lip when he had seen Johnny out there on his doorstep. Peter had been greatly disappointed. He had wanted to talk with John- ny Chuck. You know, Peter always likes to gossip. But Peter hadn't quite dared go down inside that house. In the first place, it wasn't polite. In the second place, he had feeling that Johnny Chuck was out of sorts. So not until Reddy Fox had jumped for him had Peter gone down inside.
 When Peter did go in he didn't go away down. He went down John ny Chuck's long hall only far enough to be sure he was safe from Reddy Fox. The situation Peter found himself in wasn't getting altogether pleasant Down below he could hear Johnny Chuck growing and grunt- ing. Up above he could hear Reddy Fex growing and snarling. So, you see, Peter sort of felt as if trouble awaited him either way.
 Peter guessed that Reddy Fox wouldn't stay very long. It was broad daylight and he know that Reddy wouldn't want to be out there in he middle of the Green Meadows any longer than he could help. So after waiting ! little while, Peter began to make his way up 10 the doorway a step at inme. Between steps he waited. At last he was where he could look out. Nothing was to be seen Of Reddy Fox, in front Of him or on either side. A Merry Little Breeze came blowing from directly behind Peter but
