Greece, as well, I'll skip.
Athens, with the ruins Of the

LISTEN WORLD!
All! Those CIeuer Men
By Elsie Robinson

According to them, they're the
worlds greatest woodsmen. They
are always buying something for
camp. When we start out in our
three machines we look like a
travelling tin shop. And they have
the most wonderful schedules
and programs laid out for camp
life. They always assure me
that won't have q thing to do
except take a nice long rest. Oh,
yes!
Well, any woman who has ever
gone camping with men can tell
you the rest of this story without
half trying. The truth is that
when we eNonce get, into camp
those men are about AZ useful AS
a basket of pups. All their
schemes and contrivances are just
a nuisance. OF course they're
willing TO do anything. But IL
you have an atom OF sense you
won't let them try. FOR MEN
CAN ONLY DO THINGS IN ONE
WAY.
THEY MAY BE WONDER

WOMAN HAS MORE PRACTI-
CAT, COMMON SENSE IN HER

HAS IN HIS WHOLE BODY.

''Train Your Mind"

WHY don't you pay better at
w tention to directions that are
given you?
Perhaps you belong to certain
small class which never takes in
directions thoroughly the first
time, but depends upon question
ing as they proceed.
What is the trouble, anyway?
Won't your mind carry more
than one idea at time?
Are you so simple that you don't
comprehend more than one step at
a time in things set for you to do?
If that is the case, you should
begin to work up, on taking two,
and then three specific moves
without having to stop to question.
You can't have someone at your
heels all the time to tell you the
next step to take.

then the mosques and minarets in
the heart of teeming Constan-
tinople.
Constantinople il divided into
three sections, Stamboul, Pera-
Galata toften called just Para)
and Scutari. The first two are
on the European side of the
Bosphorus, while .Scutari is in
Asia, It is in Stamboul that one
sees the real color of old Turkey.
There will be found the old
mosques, coffee shops, fountains
and tombs of the old Byzantine
period. Much of the city, it is
true, is in state of decay, but
It still reflects a glory which was,
a life which is dying. Everything
appears old. for nothing is done
to rejuvenate or freshen property.
The Turks have the feeling that
If they make their houses look too
good the government will tax
them more heavily than II they
appear ready to fall apart.
In Pera-Galata will be found
most OF the foreign embassies and
the European quarters. The IA
nous Galata Bridge, connecting
Pera.Galata with Stamboul, is said
to bear every hour the footsteps
of every nationality in the world,
but with the acceptance of West
ern dress and habits by the Turks
and others of the Near East, this
cosmopolitan highway has lost
much of the color which once was
its greatest charm.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Louis E. Bisch-


nURING the summer months,
~ especially during July and
August, young children are more
or less in danger OF contracting
what is known as summer diar-
rhoea or infantile cholera.
1t is often epidemic, especially
in large cities, and each year hun
dreds of children may be affected
by it.
Just what effect increased heat
In summer has in the production
of this disease is rather doubtful
except that milk and other foods
may not be as fresh as they
should be, due to inadequate re-
frigeration, and that probably the
resistance of these little patients
Is lowered from high temperature
and humidity and they are not as
strong physically as during cooler
months.
Summer diarrhoea Is, of course,
an intestinal disturbance and vari-
ous bacteria or germs are to be
found in the discharges. Milk
may be the chief offender and
sometimes 1t would seem that
even after the milk is sterlized
there may be- poisoT1s from bac-
terra still present which have not
been destroyed.
There may be very mild cases
of this complaint In which the
children get well in week or
two although in these milder
types there is always danger of
a much more serious disturbance
of the stomach an intestines de-
veloping.
An attack of this Kind may be-
gin quite suddenly or its onset
may be more gradual.
Often there has been faulty diet
ing, the mother not having fol-
lowed carefully the directions as
to feeding prescribed by the ply
sician or, in older children, the
eating of unripe or contaminated
fruits or gorging the stomach in
other ways may be to blame.
In infants the attack may reveal
itself by restlessness, much crying
and sleeplessness. Perhaps for
few days before there has been
slight intestional trouble.
Soon the temperature rises to
102 or 103 degrees and the skin
Is hot and dry. The temperature
may go even higher and very
rapidly, perhaps even to 1O2.
Then. of course, the child is ex-
tremely i'll. the pulse is weak. Con-
vulsions may occur.
Extreme thirst Is a frequent
symptom although ON estimes
children persistently refuse all
liquids offered. Vomiting is often
present and. il so, it consists Of
undigested food and mucus.
The diarrhoea, which Is con-
stant symptom, may not develop
Immediately. Usually 1t appears
however. after about twenty-four
hours. The color OF the discharges
is often yellow and very offensive
although gray, green and brown
stools are not uncommon. There
may be many such each day and
the child becomes extremely weak.
Mothers should be careful always
to seek medical aid In these cases.
Grave nerve symptoms may de-
velop and not infrequently, when
the child seems well, there may be
a relapse, perhaps due to re-
infection.
In young infants summer diar-
rhoea may prove fatal. OF course,
those children who are healthy
and robust to start with have q
much better chance.
The problem in all cases is how
hest to arrest the progress OF the
disease before a dangerous condi.
ton Of the intestines occurs. That
particularly. is why the help Of
the uasdical man IT, 20 important.

Haphazard Methods

ARE you a thoughtless man in

Is your daily work mechanical,

efforts?
Your golf results should prove
to YOU what your efforts will
bring along other lines unless you
alter your natural method.
You know that rhythm and con-
centratfon are necessary to best
results In golf, so why not try
rhythm and concentration in
your daily work
Your bad habit Of rushing and
stabbing at what you do is one
that can get you into q lot OF
trouble.
You may turn out considerable
work by this process, but very
likely there Is as much to offset

gained.

That there are certain sore and
tender spots, which she cannot
touch without making him vince

That he has certain prejudices,
which she can never hope 10
change: certain convictions, which
are as deep.rooted as his eye
teeth, and to which he clings with
the same tenacity.
And certain antagonisms, which
are like live wires lying about,
waiting for somebody to step on
them or pick them up and START
something!
Likewise, every bridegroom is
apt to discover that his most In
nocent remark on his Wife's nose
or her elbows. his gentlest and
