SECRETS OF
HEALTH

YOU doubtless have felt at times
i that you have been unequal
to tasks and obligations which at
other times have seemed easy
enough. If you will stop to think,
you will find that such states of
faltering have been due to fatigue,
and that the fatigue has come
from stress. The fatigue is gen.
orally transient, but, il often re-
peated or long inflicted. it tends to
become permanent. You then are
a neurasthenic or a psychasthenic.
The root of the trouble is that
the psychasthenic's confidence in
himself, which is the hall mark
of the normal being and the in.
dispensable guide of consistent and
purposeful behavior, is seriously
impaired; it is undermined by his
failure to face life in his early
days. He cannot realize that he
must, like everyone else. live in an
uncertain world and take chances.
The ordinary man. when faced. as
he Is many times every day, by two
divergent paths. decides to take
one of two alternative courses of
action and damn the conse-
Quences."
The victim of obsessiOns Is al
WAYS too afraid of the consequences
to risk decisive action. because he
is not sure of himself. AS long as
he can be bolstered up by parent,
an employer, or a strong-willed
friend and told what to do, he can
live with a fair degree of adjust
ment to life, but when he is faced
with a neutrality-suspicious., 1sola-
ton, a love affair-in which ne
must act for himself and no one
else is any use to him. he will find
that such determination as ne
thought he possessed is a broken
reed.
If he is religious he may throw
the responsibility upon the Deity
or the church and expect to be
guided in every action. He GER
tainly will be guided, but not by
God: his instructive power will take
charge of that suggestible part or
himself which has hitherto relied
on the guidance of some one
stronger and proceed to lead him
backwards, away from the fulfill
ment of his manhood, and show
him excellent reasons why ne
should not so on.
Consequently, he will feel his
scope becoming more and more
cramped and the feeling will eX-
press itself as fear of closed spaces.
His NATURAL desire for power and
possession, which he has been
afraid to express in the proper way
by accepting responsibility, will
prompt him to steal.
Obsession is g. disease of the
mind, and, like most other diseases,
can be cured or greatly relieved.
Undoubtedly one of the best ways
to cure is confession, which, If
properly done, will enable the pa
ticnt to see this buried part OF
himself as 1t is. The value OF
this and any other treatment must
depend, however, on the capacity
OF the person he confesses to. The
obsessed patient is very suggest
BILE, and 1t is vital that he should
be given the right suggestion, I'm
doubtedly. the person most likely
To be OF use to him is an expert
enced and open. minded medical
man specializing in psychotherapy.

should have gone was the City
Pound. that being just about her
sphere Of usefulness.
Mabel had never worked day
in her life. OF course. she had
helped Mama a little with the
chores. but she knew nothing
whatever of the Rough, Bad
World. She had spent twenty
one years of life dancing and
bridging and singing little songs
and pouring at teas and gushing
around in general. Then she got
terribly romantic and married
Jim. who was earning $45 a week
on our paper. and bought some
pink, ruffled curtains and set up
love in a cottage. And everyone
particularly Mabel thought how
lucky Jim was to get such a
sweet, innocent, unspoiled young
girl.
That was two years ago. And
now IL someone doesn't call the
shotgun squad, there's going to be
murder done in that love nest.
And the pink ruffles will be quite
Duined. And I won't blame Jim a
bit. For Mabel is just what you
might have expected her to be
a total loss.
Having never worked a day in
her life, she hasn't the slightest
conception of the value or mean
ing of labor. Or system. Or
responsibility. Or punctuality. If
she spends a couple of hours
tidying up, and has to leave
bridge. party half an hour early
to get Jim's dinner, she thinks
she's the worlds worst slave.
Most of the time she's all gummed

and that it is her duty to run
her end Of the job smoothly. eco
nomically and efficiently. without
assistance or brass bands.
The inevitable consequence of
this ignorance and inexperience Is
that Mabel has become a whi1-
ing, sloppy. unreliable nuisance.
And Jim's contempt grows daily.
A years work in an office
would have prevented that. She
would have learned. as a matter
of course, to get up on time, battle
and dress herself neatly, be in the
office promptly and, for the next
eight hours, render snappy, polite
service, without expecting a Croix
de Guerre for doing the same.
She would have learned to under
stand WEAKNESS and strain and
masculine Indifference. Particu-
larly masculine indifference. She
would have gotten over the idea
that ladies who do these things
are Christian martyrs and she
would have developed a pride in
her performance. In short. she
would have become Mature
Working Woman, fit partnr for a
Mature Working Man.
One Of these days Jim is going
to fall violently in love with some
bright, efficient. we'll groomed
little stenographer and desert his
lovely Mabel. Then all her rela.
tions will zip and roar and gnash
their teeth and call him a ruffian.
I won't. I'll think that Mabel has
gotten just what was coming to
her.
