knowledge of tuberculosis.

Progress in eradicating tuberculosis
roentgen (X-ray) examinations of all
young adults, especially those who
have a family history of tuberculosis
or who have been exposed to this dis
ease No patient can be considered
as properly examined by physician
today unless roentgenograms (x-ray
pictures) of the lungs are taken. So
says Dr. Gerald B. Webb. one of the
foremost authorities.
DR.. Webb tells us that the early
signs of tuberculosis discovered by
X-ray examination are not usually &C
companied by marked symptoms OF
disease. BY the tine the rales can
be heard in lung, or cough or pleu-
risy has occurred, the tuberculosis Is,
as a rule, well advanced.
This is going ahead! Why even I
can remember when We felt we were
pretty snappy diagnosticians If we de-
tected a few rales in one apex after
the patient had drawn in breath, let
out the breath and then kindly
coughed a bit before drawing in an
other breath.
In spite of the increasing knowledge
and the greater diagnoStic skill OF ply
sicians, there are still great many
victims of tuberculosis who prefer, 1t
seems, to dodge the truth or who grasp
every excuse and every opportunity to
dilly daily and procrastinate, rather
than face the issue squarely and have
Ion failing
health compels capitulation.
1t has been fairly we'll recognized
by the medical profession that lung
tuberculosis is advanced beyond the
incipient or first stage by the time
tubercle bacilli are found in the spu-
tUrn, as a general rule.
How, then, can the important queS-
ton be settled in any case promptly
enough to give the patient the adj
vantage of early care and proper treat
ment? 1t is surely dangerous policy
to wait for definite symptoms or
marked impairment of health to clinch
the diagnosis. 1t comes down to a
question of confidence in your ply
Sician's opinion and respect for his
advice. After all, he can only arrive at
an opinion that you have tuberculosis
If you do not consult him with the
intention of abiding by his opinion,
why consult him at all?
Suppose the doctors opinion does
turn out to have been wrong. Sup
pose you enter a tuberculosis sanatorium
and after a sojourn there find you
haven't tuberculosis at all. Well, at
any rate, no harm has been done. The
rest, hygiene and education you have
received can dc no harm no matter
what ails you or no matter whether
you are sick or not. If you really had
incipient tuberculosis in the lung, a
few months in the sun may bring
the disease to arrest I believe this
very thing happens in not few in
stances where patients get well not

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Emotions.

No one, scientist or layman, really
knows much about the emotions. All
you can be sure of is that they are
common human possessions, that they
surely do "emote" (move) people to
actions of various and sundry sorts and
that when a person Is behaving under
the driving power of emotion you need
not expect much of him In the way OF
reason or common sense.
OF all the aspects Of our ignorance
about the human emotions none Is Sc
common as the mistaken notion that
an emotion may be conquered. As
Freud has aptly said, HE who Is silent
with his lips tattles with his finger
tips" He means by this that an emo
ton, once aroused, will run its course
and find some outlet for its energy
even though the expression OF that en-
ergy appears to mean nothing In par
ticular. It is possible, Of course, in po-
lite society, to delay the reaction OF al,
emotion for time, but such delays are
always rather hazardous ventures and
not infrequently injurious. Hope de-
ferred maketh the heart sick"
The emotions are primitive in nature
They betray the cave man within us
We don't understand this primitive sell
within us any more than we do the
animals in the ZOO. Perhaps that's why
the animals are there. We would like
to know ourselves better.
Just what Is that curiosity that leads
us to the zoo. And why is the average
person especially interested in those ami
mails that most resemble man? Why dc
We ascribe animal traits to those whom
we dislike? Can 1t be that we uncon-
sciously surmise the source of the ami
mality within us? Is not our knowledge
of our own emotions matter Of feeling
rather than knowledge?
However all this may be, the human
emotions belong among the riddles OF
the universe. Here, If ever, Wisdom is
humble that she knows no more" AT
the same time the field is thrown open
to scientific speculation. The questions
OF love and fear, hope and despair
anger and its opposite (what do you
make it out to be?) must have doomed
large in the imaginations Of the many
men who, from the early Greeks to the
present time, have kept proposing vari-
Gus theories of evolution.

Moderation Should Guide
Hand That Seasons Food

Any substance added to food to give
1t agreeable taste is, according to the
dictionary. a 1lavoring when the word
Is used In a culinary sense.
Any substance added to food to give
1t relish is seasoning. And since relish
is an agreeable flavor there really is no
difference between seasoning and flavor
ing cookery.
AS we use the words, however. there
Is a difference. Pepper and salt we
speak of as seasoning. Vanilla or
lemon extract we speak Of as flavor.
We add seasoning to a soup or stew.
while we add favoring to cake or
pudding.
In either case the substance added
Is not added to give actual food value,
but to impart an agreeable taste to the
dish. Sometimes we add seasoning or
fiavoring to food that is not in itself
sufficiently tasty. Sometimes we add
flavoring or seasoning to tone down a
food that has too strong or unpleasant
@ flavor, and sometimes we add 1t to
food agreeable in its own taste simply
for the sake Of variety.
Some seasonings and fiavors are actu-
ally lacking in food value. Salt pepper
and spices generally may be listed here.
other substances though used in too
small amounts to add nourishment actu-
ally possess food value Onions, toma-
toes, celery, lemon juice and other fruit
and vegetable fiavorings or seasonings

tant to use the first sort of flavorings
in moderation. Doubling the amount
of salt or nutmeg called for in q recipe
may spoil the soup or the pudding. Us
ing twice the required amount of onions
or tomatoes does nothing of the sort.
The non-nutritious seasoningS-espe-
cially SpiceS-were once used more law

time. It was only in this way that
monotonous, favorless food materials
were made tempting. It was the French
cooks, they say, who first developed the
art of using garden herbs and vege-
tables instead Of spices to provide sea-

Custom and Necessity in Meals

needs of q household, and six or even
seven meals, of a sort, are not unheard
Of. For instance where there are chill
dren there Is the mid-morning lun-
cheon, and frequently the naid-after-
noon meal Where there are aged mem
bers of the family the English custom
of serving tea before breakfast Is fol-
lowed, only instead Of tea, coffee is the
accepted beverage. Also for the aged
some food is apt to be needed before

conducive to sleep. Cold milk and
crackers Is sometimes preferred and
these also "stay the stomach"
The homemaker has to be keenly
aware of the special needs of her house,
hold In the matter Of odd meals at
odd hours, for these are often as
needed for good health as the regular
ones. The custom of serving afternoon
tea is one that should be followed II
dinners are at a rather late hour and
not unusual For instance, where chill
dren require early luncheons, the fam
lily is apt to have 1t then also. The
children's supper comes early, so they
are we'll looked after, especially IL a
mid-afternoon meal is given them. 1t
remains for the adults to be given spe-
cial attention, assuming TIE dinner Is
late from choice or from the necessity
of the mans not getting home until
late from business.
Afternoon tea Is welcome to break
the fast between the early luncheon
and the late dinner. AS for suppers,
these are served after the theater and
at such other times as entertainment
is going on In the evening. American
late suppers are not the custom Of the
family as in England, but they are
served very frequently when festivities
are going on at night.
