PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.

AS a general rule the notion of
fighting off" an oncoming illness or
threatening illness is mere excuse for
neglecting treatment and hoping
against hope, and that is not good psy-
chology.
Common sense first" writes a
reader, "and medicine afterward. Am
right when say that many times
medicine is given when 1t is wholly un-
necessary? For instance, when
I have cold or am threatened With
something of the kind, sore muscles,
bowels refuse to move, ETC., instead of
taking cold remedies ! resort to split
ting wood. hiking or some other vigo-
rous outdoor exercise followed by hot
bath and rundown. !"
The reader is right, though he doesn't
put it quite correcly About 80 per
cent of all the medicine that is taken
in America Is taken without medical
sanction and I imagine a large part of
this unnecessary and actually harmful
medicine is taken by folks who pride
themselves on having common sense"
The practice recommended by the
reader Is far better than resorting to q
cold cure" or pain killer, at any rate
and 1t recalls to mind belief we ha
as boys, that a brisk game of tag O.
something to get us warmed up an

1t is a common saying that hysterical

childish traits SO completely. Under
stress they go back to childish type
of behavior. But when there Is such
intense and tragic suffering to forget

for nervous system that tends to be
oversensitive from the start. Those
who see no other reason in the present
situation for such unusual thoughts
and behavior cannot understand that
mental scars persist and bring back the
past suffering In altered form. That is
what tragedy does to nerves.
Yet there Is no reason for despair
far from it! Such patients need the
utmost sympathy, but need no less the
complete assurance that these terrible

Nothing is going to happen; the spells

SUMMERTIME
By d. C. PEATTIE.

Summer itself shines at us In the
cleaning whiteness of the water lily
petals, their slumbrous enfolding, their
regal gleam, their lazy drifting on the
jade surfaces of the water, where the
dragon flies skim low and fallen pollen
drifts of eerie golden swirls and lanes.
But you must be up early of fine
sunny morning to see the water lily IN
all its glory, for by noon 1t has closed
against the glare of the sun and the
breezes will have ruffled its fine raj
ment. Mystical, incredible, ephemeral,
the water lily, probably our largest BIOS
som so far as wild flowers go, floats Tor
us a daily miracle, for in all probabil-
ity it descends to us, with no very great
change, from remote geological time.
To me there is always a thrill In
these ancient types of flowers, a thrill
greater than any ruin or any fossil can
give, for here they are today, unruined
unfossilized, contending still for place
in the sun, in the watery lanes, with
the newest model from the factory of
evolution.
Washington is famous as a center for
water lily growing; water lily farm on
the Eastern Branch ships as far as
Chicago its cut flowers, and its stocks
will see more kinds of water lily than
are dreamed of in your philosophy
blue and gold and yellow.
OF native water lilies we have but two
in the District of Columbia. The yel-
low pond lily or spatterdock, with small
butter-yellow and green flowers and
small thick leaves Is the commoner In
deed, 1t is almost vulgar, in every little
stagnant pool and stream. With thick,
small, chubby looking petals, no odor,
and crude colors, it is but a merry
hobbledehoy Of flower, a rustic belle.
Different far is the rare and ex-
quisite sweet-scented white water lily,
with its big, delicate floating leaves and
its cleaning white petals, as it drifts
like swan upon the water know of
no place now where 1t is found except
near Alexandria; understand that It
was formerly abundant at Great Falls,
but doubtless unfeeling hands have torn
it all away
To see the lotus flower one has to go
half way to Quantico; unfortunately 1t
is not in our flora around the District
of Columbia. But there is the little
water shield, the pigmy of the family,
with leathery dull-purple flowers and
floating shield-shaped leaves which the
quick eye viii find along the edges of
pools beside the Potomac at Little
Falls.

Many of the complexion problems OF
the teens and twenties are the result of
wrong diet Girls. and women, too, have
a notion that conditions like sallowness,
pimples, excessive oiliness or dryness.
blotchiness and roughness of the skin
can be cured by patting on little cream
or using a particular brand of soap or
skin lotion. AS a matter of fact, these
troubles may often be banished by a
simple change in diet and without
spending penny on external beauty
aids.
The very first thing to do in your
campaign for a clear, lovely skin is to
face the facts about food. Remember
that candy, ice cream and chocolate
eclairs are food just as much as beef
steak and potatoes, and they must not
be considered as unimportant extras
Sweet foods tempt the palate so that
they are frequently eaten to excess.
They take away ones appetite for other
foods, which results in a poorly bal
anced dietary. Constipation then de-
vclops, which is one of beauty's worst
enemies.
The sort of diet that keeps the skin
smooth and clear includes a large pro-
portion of non-starchy vegetables and
fruits, especially those that can be eaten
raw. Eating large salad every day
should be as regular a part of ones
beauty program as cleansing ones face
or dressing ones hair becomingly.
Plenty of leafy vegetables, like cabbage,
spinach and kale, and fibrous ones, like
carrots, beets and celery are needed in
the daily diet, not only to yield neces-
sary food elements but to provide rough
age that will keep the intestinal tract
clean.
Here are some "do's" and "dont's" for
the beauty seeker who takes her mid

should be attempted the first day.
| When one looks at work to be done
it takes certain amount of fortitude
J for the conscientious housewife to
defer the doing of 1t. But If the day
| following that of arrival is not to be ONT
of complete collapse, moderation is
| required.
The airing of bedding as we'll as of
the house is of first Importance. If the
day be fair. mattresses, quilts and pill
lows will soon be rid of their musty
smell in the open air. The preparation
of the simplest meal will be arduous
without right cooking conditions. so the
next step is to look well to them.
An excellent cottage opening" was
| staged" when group OF young people
regarded the occasion as a lark Each
member of the party brought enough
prepared food, so that the difficulties of
the first meal were eliminated, and all
pitched in to help.
While 1t is not possible for every one
to make a pleasure of cottage opening
in this manner, a little forethought in
the matter of provisioning will help.
Although 1t may take extra effort at
the point of starting, it will Ger erUainly be
appreciated upon arriving. If enough
cooked food Is brought or sent to
supply the demands OF the appetlte Tor
the first meal, matters are smoothed
and tempers spared. 1t is. indeed, sur
prising how we'll received the most
rustic repast will be after hunger has
been piqued by the journey.
A mother of two children was the
butt Of derisive remarks when she in
sisted upon packing tin container
filled with the remnants of stew
which had already made several ap-
pearances at table. But the relish
with which the food was eaten at the
other end of the line reversed matters
entirely. Country air and firing travel
had put just the right touch to the
sauce Of hunger" to make it taste de-
hcious.
If the newcomers arrive early in the
day, the rooms may be swept out as
well as bedding aired and meals made
ready. Otherwise, the housewife may
consider the day successful If only the
food and sleeping conditions are salts
factorily resolved. Another day is COM
ing, during which any number of ne
elected details can be seen to.

Unreasonable Punishment.
By ANGELO PATRI.

Punishment ought TO bear some rela-
ton to the offense. First, indeed, We
ought to be certain that there was an
offense.
Boy was in disgrace with his teacher
because he got bad marks in arithmetic.
He pulled down the average and the
trustees were very keen on having a
good class average in arithmetic and
other things. If the teacher wanted to
teach another term in that school her
class had to make good averages and
she wanted to stay there. And Boy was
so mean. He wouldn't work and he
would get such awful marks.
The teacher kept him in and made
him work the examples again and again.
And again and again he got them wrong.
The longer she kept him in the worse
the examples came out. Then the
teacher called at the house and told her
sad story. Father was outraged that
Boy should be so mean as to worry the
life out of perfectly good teacher of
arithmetic and gave him whipping.
But the work was no better. 1t was
worse.
The teacher wracked her brain to find
some way to make Boy do his arith-
metic 85 per cent good. She remem-
bered that he was anxious to get his
planes that went all the way across the
shop and the teacher said he was the
best mechanic of the crowd. Boy was
happy in the shop. IF you don't get
85 in arithmetic Friday you can't go
to the shop for week." said the
teacher OF course, he didn't get IS or
near it and, of course, he didn't get to
the shop.
"You can stay home and study your
arithmetic" said his father, and mother
kept silent. Boy sat on the back steps
and cried as If his heart would break
The shop teacher missed him and sent
for him and the message was sent back
that Boy having failed in arithmetic
could not go to the shop.
When the shop teacher heard that
he grabbed up a ragged old cap from
the bench near by, dashed out of the
room without stopping to take off his
apron and thumped at the front door
of Boys house.

John Martin entered into a contract
for the purchase Of an automobile from
Thomas Seller, who represented that
the car was a new one. Before paying
the balance of the purchase price Mar
tin employed mechanic to examine
the car and as a result discovered that
the car had been run about 1000 miles.
He imme@Ately informed Thomas
Seller that no desired to rescind the
agreement and demanded the return
of $l00 he had paid as a deposit.
Seller refused to return the deposit and
Martin brought suit.
At the trial Seller argued that Mar
tin should be bound by the contract
as he had bought it after inspecting 1t
and had the opportunity to discover
that the car had been used.
The court, however, allowed Martin
to recover his $100, stating that he had
a right to rescind the agreement, ex-
planning:
"A fraudulent contract may be re-

vigorous open air exercise such as the
correspondent suggests may be the best
treatment for mild infections of this
character. though do not think the
bath or rundown after the exercise is
of any Importance, and that may be
left to the preference of the individual.
In the early stage of any severe in
fection, such as pneumonia, typhoid
fever, influenza, such an effort might
do great injury. The intelligent thing
to do when one is coming down with
real illness, or when one even thinks
such illness threatens" is to get into
bed and stay there until physician
assures one 1t is safe to get up. Or If
one is unwilling to have medical at
vice, then stay in bed until 1t is cer-
tain that the illness is not developing.
Clearly the attempt to fight of a

to gamble with health?
