This disease may occur at all

among children. Most of the
cases seem to occur in the
spring and autumn.
Epidemics Of this condition are
not uncommon and often one
child after another in a school
gets it until practically all the
children are infected.
The reason for this is the fact
that the discharge from the eye
lids Is highly contagious and the
infection spreads from one to an
other through contact with fin
gers+books. pencils, towels. etc.
The disease may also accom-.
pany a cold in the head, such as
grip, hay fever. etc. 1t may also
follow measles and sometimes
scarlet fever.
A mechanical factor also seems

from smoke. or a cinder getting

The patient first feels an Itch

which first keeps a man out OF
matrimony-and then drives him
into it.
Once upon a time, when poor,
stray bachelors lived in gloomy
boarding houses. and rich ones
lived at their clubs, there was no
question about it. A man HAD
to marry in order to get home
and a housekeper-a place where
he could set up his household

Yet, alas, like homeopathy, the
bachelor apartment has prim1-y
and secondary effect. It appeals
to a man because it offers him
all the comforts of home, and
none of it's restrictions. It is
place where he can entertain all
the people he likes, whenever ne
likes and as long as he likes, with
out interference.
Grand and glorious! Nobody to
make him climb into a dinner
coat, to sniff his breath, to ask
him how the china got broken
or to stop his convivial friends

the lights and go to bed, to ask
him who dropped the pearl ear.

And yet-shush!-it frightens
him when he discovers that It

Oh. YES. he can invite all the

he can't keep them AWAY. He
can fill the place with charm

them go HOME!
He can drag in his cronies for
a game of poker whenever he
chooses-but he can't get them
OUT until they please to go.
