Waiting Mice
By Elsie Robinson

Round and round the little
creature whirled in a fantastic
dance. Delighted, l laughed. But
the man with me did not laugh.
Instead he shook his head pity.

The mouse was so funny-why
didn't the man laugh?
Don't you think it's funny to
see the mouse dancer" l laughed.
No, l don't. dear" he said
quietly. You see, the mouse isn't
really dancing. It is sick. Some
thing is growing on its brain
which makes it sick and it spins
around and around because of
that sickness"
1t was many years before un-
derstood the significance of brain
tunnor, but from that day on a
door opened for me into a deeper
understanding of pain and weak
ness-and sin.
When I see hurt life jerking
or shuffling grotesqueIy through
the years, I no longer laugh or
sneer. 1 think of that pitiful
waltztng mouse. When I find
myself growing trritated or
shocked by the stupidity or per-
versity of human beings, 1: try to
check myself remember the
defective brain which lay behind
that tragic dancing.

} whose vicious antics society does
net understand. We strike out
furiously against these ''crim-
inals." We judge them as though
they were normal men. Bad peo-
pie are never normal people.
They are people who have been
pushed away from the normal.
Sometimes physical deficiency or
malformation has pushed them
away, sometimes bad environment
has pushed them away. But al
ways, whatever their offense,
however hideously they may dance
to the DEVILS piping. they are
victims. not criminals. And they
need to be healed or restrained,
not punished.
We have not arrived at this
knowledge easily. Most of us have
not arrived at it at all. But gradu-
ally scientists are opening doors
into wisdom and tolerance, as my
childhood friend opened the door
for me.
They are discovering that the
deficiency in some obscure gland,
or the running amuck Of some
group of cells, may turn a decent
human being into a weakling or
a fiend. And they are finding
that sickness of mind or body lies
behind all human misbehavior.
Think of that the next time yOu
grow angry at a bad person. Be
merciful to ''waltzing mice"

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

THERE are many varieties OF
= anemia and each must be
treated in a different way.
Anemia means not only that
the blood is "thin." that is, def
cient in the red blood corpuscles.
Anemia may mean a lessening of
the red coloring matter of the
blood, to be found in the red
blood corpuscles-the hemoglobin.
Lastly, anemia may mean a re-
duction of the amount of the
blood as a whole, quantitatively
speaking, as might occur in
hemorrhage of any kind.
A case of anemia cannot, there.
fore, be successfully overcome un-
less the kind of anemia is deter
mined first.
The taking of iron or other
so.called blood making" sub
stances or foods may or may not
help the situation.
People get pale and pasty-look-
ing and tire easily, especially in
the spring months, and the first
thing thought of is anemia.
Such individuals, however, may
be perfectly normal as regards
the number of red corpuscles, and
the hemogloben content. All they
need, often, is exercise and a good
cleaning out of the digestive
tract.
Real, true anemia sometimes is
a serious condition.
In chlorosiS, for example, an
anemia found in young girls, the
hemoglobin is reduced, relatively
speaking.
1t occurs more often in blondes
than brunettes, especially be-
tween the ages of fourteen and
seventeen.
Boys seem never to be affected.
The real cause remains un-
known. The blood making or
gans seem to be weak.
This form of anemia may oc.
cur in girls who are brought up
under the most favorable circum-
stances. In fact, the girl looks
well.nourished, but the complex.
ion is peculiar and of a certain
yellow.green color.
The onset of this may be slow
and insidious. The patients grad.
ually grow pale and weak. Faint.
ness and loss of breath on slight
exertion may develop. Palpita-
tion is common and the heart
loses its force.
AS time goes on, in untreated
cases, the patients take to bed.
1t may prove fatal.
l have mentioned pernicious
anemia not with any intention of
frightening my readers, but
rather to impress upon them that
true anemia is not a disease to
be trifled with.
If you think you are anemic or
you have symptoms suggesting
1t, the best thing to do is to con-
suit your physician who will
soon decide whether anemia
actually exists, and, If it does,
whether it is of serious moment.
The presence of anemia need
not be guesswork.
The doctor takes a drop of
your blood and either examines It
himself or sends it to a lab
oratory for such examination.
Such study coupled with the
history or development of your
symptoms will tell exactly what
is wrong.
Perhaps you will need iron and
perhaps you will not Find out
first of all What kind Of anemia
you have

MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland


TIME only grounds you have to
Il give for wanting divorce over
in Russia is that you are married.
All a woman need do in order to
get a decree is to mention that she
WANTS one-and the says. "Why,
certainly. Just help yourself.
They're right there on the coun-
ter"
You don't even have to buy a
package of cigarettes to entitle
you to the blue certificate.
And yet the women of Russia
aren't satisfied! They are raising
howl of protest against the free
dom and laxity of the divorce laws.
Because, alas! according to that
same cute little law, a man need
only run in on his way down to
the office and order nice, fresh
decree Of absolute divorce and, be-
hold! he's free before lunch!

apple PIE for the gander!
It's all very well when you want
to trade in your last years bat
tered and faded old husband for
this years model-but not so good
when you find YOURSELF being
swapped off every few years for
a flapper.
Even over in darkest Russia, the
women are beginning to discern the
bitter truth, that you can't leave
love and marriage to old Dame
Nature, or men will always get the
icing off the cake, while women
will get only the little scraps.
MAN IS NATURES PET! She
has given him carefree soul. a
love of adventure, and a light.
ming change heart. which make
a change of mates as acceptable
and easy to him as a change Of
neckties.
She has endowed him with a
trick memory, which never re-
minds him of anything or any
women he wants to forget, and
a trained conscience, which lies
down and goes to sleep the
minute after he has kissed his
wife good-by mornings.
She has left him free from
all inhibitions and emotional com.
plexes and filled him with a
spirit of the chase, which makes
every day just another day" to
him, and every woman just a
brand new experiment.
And she has imbued him with
a sweet 'self-complacency, which
sustains his confidence in his
fatal charm for women and in
his power to conquer ANY woman,
all the way from the cradle to
the grave.
On the other hand, she has
given woman a ONE-MAN heart
and a passion for HOLDING ON
to any man she's got. She has
shackled her with sentimental
soul and hobbled her with an
inferiority complex.
She has made love the whole
feast in woman's life-but only
a side dish in a mans life.
And when the law makes the
yoke a light and airy
affair, which can be thrown off
like a chiffon opera cloak. it is
who finds herself shiver.
Ing, out in the cold.
oh. yes, Nature Is "grand!'
Grand to MAN! What is sauce
for the goose Is ALWAYS apple
pie for the gander!
