LISTEN WORLD!
HOw Free Are YOu?
By Elsie Robinson

IF ANYONE told you you were
i not free you'd be pretty mad.
You'd announce at once that
both God and the American Con-
stitution made you as free as air.
Which may be So
Nevertheless you're not free.
For even IL God and the Amer
lean Constitution worked over
time to give you freedom you'd
rapidly acquire shackles-
AND THOSE sHACKLEs you
WOULD FORGE FOR YOUR
SELF.
Cowardice is one of those
shackles.
Laziness is a shackle-
Conceit Is a shackle--
Hate, jealousy. envy, greed are
shackles-
The wrong kind of love, the
wrong kind of ambition are the
worst of shackles.
These attitudes and desires
which you forge in the secret
places of the heart are really
tangible chains which bind you
and enslave you.
God can't make you free
The Constitution can't make
you free
You. alone. can free yourself
YOU'RE AS FREE AS YOUR
OWN STATE OF MIND.
If your mind is in a cell of
fear. or hate. or desire, or pride,
then you're in a cell. And it's a
crueler cell than any penitentiary.
II your mind has shaken itself
free, then you are really free
with the only true freedom there
is and nothing that any man
can do to you will harm you.

Will Washington Ever Be Run

INSTEAD Of fayorng fullfledged form Of American

There's a gay little song which
everyone was singing some time
ago which was built about that
truth. It was called Il JUST
ROLL ALONG" and the first
verse goes something like this
"Good,by, good-hy. good-by, Blues!
1 haven't got thing to lose!
Oh, just roll along, having my
ups, having my downs,
Having my ups and downs all
day long"
That's modern jazz music, but
it's also the essence of the most
ancient philosophy on earth.
Every great teacher, including
Christ, has taught us that freedom
can only come from within our
selves-when we. ourselves, stop
fearing and hating and desiring
too greatly.
They also advised men to Just
roll along, having their ups and
downs" without taking life too
seriously.
Maybe it's hot-maybe it's cold.
whether It's hot or cold. don't
care" runs the little song.
You have to be pretty wise to
understand the findings OF the
great philosophers, but there's a
rule that fits the simplest mind.
Whatever your life. or whatever
your nature, you CAN train your
self so that you won't mind much
whether it's hot or cold
Won CAN ston ShacEling YOUR
life with unnecessary fears and
spites and greedy, bossy loves, II

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

by Dr. LOUIS =. nlScn-
A LMoST everybody, sooner or
"A later, witnesses an epileptic
seizure.
Even in mild attacks it is a
dramatic and sometimes alarming
affair, and the bystander who is
unfamiliar with the disease and
its manifestations Is likely to be.
come excited in his eagerness to
want to do something that may be
helpful.
That, however, is the first thing
to remember in case of epileptic
convuIsions-not to become ex'
cited.
Bear in mind that the Convul-
sion will pass, sooner or later. that
the patient has had many such
convulsions before, and that no
special damage will result from the
seizure you happen to see provided
the following points are remem.
bered:
II the convulsion is severe and
the patient is throwing his limbs
about, try to protect him from
physical injury by placing a coat
under his body or by gently re-
straining him.
Then look for the tongue.
Be certain that the tongue is not
held between his clenched teeth.
Also be sure that the tongue has
not reduplicated on itsef-has
rolled backward, .pry the Jaws
apart with a piece of wood, If
necessary, but be very careful lest
your own fingers be caught. Per
sons have been badly bitten this
way. If the tongue is way back
in the mouth it should be seized
with a handkerchief or cloth,
pulled forward, and held there.
Failure to get the tongue for
ward into the mouth proper may
cause the patient to choke to death.
Indications of this are unusually
1abored breathing, distension OF
nostrils and blueness of the face.
An epileptic's breathing is, OF
course, more or less labored and
noisy in any case. This is due to
spasm of the throat muscles.
Spasm of the throat muscles
also accounts for the frothing at
the mouth, The saliva accumu-
lates. is not swallowed as under
normal conditions, and the air
passing through the saliva in
breathing produces a foam.
There are those who believe
that this froth is poisonous and
must not be touched. Such
notion is pure nonsense.
The patient should be laid on
his side, with something soft un-
der the head and with tongue
hanging out Of his mouth II pos
sible. Should he vomit during the
seizure, such position will pre-
vent the vomitus from getting
into the bronchi and lungs.
When the convulsion is over
and the unconscious state seems
to be unduly prolonged, gentle
slapping OF the hands and cheeks
or little cold water thrown into
the face may be resorted to.
After the -convulsion the patient
invariably is dazed. He also feels
exhausted and wants to sleep.
Such sleep should be allowed If it
can be conveniently arranged.
AS a rule, no medicine of any
kind is required nor is it desirable.
Epileptics have many convulsive
seizures during their lifetime and
there are those who have several

Everybody feels so sorry for
him." Why-I wonder.
A husband is matter of
chance or luck-just one of the
wedding presents-something that
happens to you, like an inheri.
tance or a spring cold. But
wife is a mans own fault.
A woman can't "pick OUT a
husband from a vast and varied
assortment. She can only pick
over what's offered and take
the best of the lot. But man
can fit about the world, from one
rosebud garden of girls to an
other, until he finds somewhere
among the thousand specimens
and samples, the One Woman
who will fit into his life and
make him happy.
If he closes his ears and picks
her out entirely "by eye"-for
the shape of her nose or the
dimples in her knees-why pity
him, because she turns out to be
a gold-digger or a dancing toy
or a dunb-bell with one brain
cell and vanity complex?
If he insists on marrying a
woman, simply because she
amuses him and flatters him, why
feel sorry for him when she re.
fuses to cook for him or run a
vacuum cleaner for him?
AS long as he continues to fall
in love through his senses, instead
of his heart and his mind, why
mourn for him If he gets some
thing beautiful ul-but-dumb, who
bores him to death or worries him
to death?
AS long as he passes by the girl
who would steady him and falls
for the one who intoxicates him,
why shed tears when she drives
him to drink?
As long as he rasses up the girl
who admires and inspires him, in
order to dance after some airy
fairy little temporary diversion
who ties him to her chariot wheel,
why weep for him, when he is
"misunderstood?"
IF he had had the RIGHT kind
of WIFE he would never had

the world.
OF course, he wouldA't! And If
he hadn't eaten the lobster or the
mushrooms, he never would have
had the Indigestion. If he had
not taken the cocktails he never
would have had the headache.
