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

Nov is the time that we are
~ beginning to plan vacations.
with the gloom and confine-
ment of winter well behind US.
we find ourselves scanning rail-
road and steamship folders, test
ing the fishing tackle, thinking of
having the tennis racquet restrung
and polishing up the golf clubs.
The call Of the woods, the fields,
the sea-all possess a special ap-
peal depending upon our several
inclinations.
In the last analysis, however,
the important thing is not where
we will go or what we will do.
The really essential thing is
whether we are going to plan
vacation in such a way this year
so that it will really do us good.
For is it not true that thou
sands return from their long
waited holidays more fatigued and
discouraged with life than ever?
And is it not true, also, that
often in the past your vacation
has meant little more than a
transfer from one sort of hard
work or excitement to another?
Especially do young people
a.-ordo uyhon m vacation.
They dance half the night, play
games to the point of exhaustion
waste their energy and abuse their
nerves in ways that have more
harmful effect in two weeks thah
their regular work can produce IN
q year.
The way really to relax. OF
course, is to do something en-
tirely different from what you
have been accustomed to.
Then you are made to tnlnK
differently.
Then likewise are you made to
feel differently.
Bear in mind that what you
succeed by is nerve energy.
This does not mean that the
more nerve energy you possess the
more success will you have
whether in business, in love, In
health or in general contentment.
Nerve energy activates all your
muscles, all your organs, all your
tissues.
What counts is what you do
with your nerve energy, whether
you waste it or are spendthrlrt
with it, whether you direct it into
useful channels or into debilitat-
ing forms of activity.
Now when vacation time ar
rives you are a bit short on nerve
energy.
Rest helps. Complete rest for the
first few days is highly desirable.
But to rest the entire holiday
time may mS%e you sluggish.
You may develop a kind of laZi-
ness that amounts to intoxication.
After an initial rest the thing
to do is use nerve that have been
lying comparatively dormant be.
fore.
This gives the regular hard
working nerves chance to carry
off waste products and rebuild.
Dancing or tennis or what not
may be using new nerves. And
as such no argument can be
raised against such forms of
recreation.
There is, however, plenty of
argument against abusing the
nerves and muscles that come
into lay when we dance or dis,
port ourselves on the courts.
Abuse is something quite diff
ferent from use.
Therefore. think wisely and well
about your coming vacation.
Don't repeat the mistakes you
made before.

OF A WIFE

THESE MODERN LOVERS

THESE MODERN Low ERS
A s long as a man confines his
IA conversation to flattery and
baby talk ne need never worry
about being misunderstood" by
a woman.
At 20, q man is convinced that
he'll begin to decay in about five
more years; at 40, he figures that
he can relax and begin to LIVE
in about five more years.
Most Of a mans "spring clean
ing" consists in clearing out the
corners Of his heart, busting off
his conscience, and throwing out
last years flirtations so as to
make room for a few brand new
ones.
In the modern love story, the
heroine always finds that the most
effective way to make man love
her is by ASKING him to. But
in real life. men and dreams still
"go by contraries," and the surest
and quickest way to make any
man love you is to ask him
NOT to.
Love may live on hope longer
than on gratitude; but it posi-
lively thrives and FLOURISHES
on a judicious~ mixture of doubt,
curiosity and suspense.
Trying to make some husbands
look ornamental in evening clothes
is like dolling up bath towels with
an embroidered monogram. The
word useful" is written all over
them.
The average married mans idea
of heaven is probably place
where nobody will call him for
breakfast, tidy up his desk or
tell him how to drive the car.
When a man marries the right
woman, it is not his fault. 1t is
just one of those lucky little
accidents, which sometimes hap
pens to one, in spite of every
thing he may do to prevent 1t.
A man always hates to admit,
even to himself that late parties,
early Strawberries, and new spring
love affairs no longer agree with
him.

heap on the ground.
The boar followed Blose across
the wall. attacking him before he
could regain his feet. He called

was driven OFF by BIose's son,
who was nearby.

Gene Tunney, retired worlds heavy
weight champion, refuses to be the
least bit worried over tae breach OF
promise suit filed against him in
Bridgeport, Conn.,, by Mrs. Katherine
King Fogarty.
The former fighter remained in his
wonted seclusion today, willing to
leave everything to his attorneys.
II do not recall ever meeting any
woman named Fogarty," Tunney de-
clared when asked about the action.
THE only thing can say about the
whole thing is that Mrs. Fogarty
sounds like an Irish name.
"I have not heard a word about
the action officially, and frankly l
this time. Mrs. Tunney has been
quite i'll, and cannot leave her now.
Her condition following her opera.
ton has not been too satisfactory,
and / am very much worried about
her"
1t is not known whether Tunney's
wife, the former Polly Lauder, multi
millionaire Connecticut heiress, has
been informed of the litigation
launched against her husband in the
United States.
Tunney's secretary said that Mrs.
Tunney suffered relapse three days
ago, and that the fighter has been
constantly at his wife's bedside, not
even taking time to read his daily
flood of letters and kilograms.

PUSH TARIFF As
c. D. ?. PLAN

Republican leaders OF the House
today formally proposed that the
new Hawley tariff bill be adopted
as party measure and passed in
entire disregard Of the Democratic
membership.
The proposal Was made at a secret
conference of Republican members,
called to draft program which viii
insure passage Of the bill in the
House before June 1.
The program called for adoption
of a special rule which would limit
amendments on the floor Of the
House to the ways and means COM
mittee, thereby cutting off threat
ened row over the sugar tariff, build
ing material schedules and many
others.
This course was adopted after long
negotiations with the farm bloc,
sugar bloc" and other House groups
which have banded together to write
new increases in tariffs into the
BILL
The negotiations with the farm
bloc" continued UP to the last
minute. with prospects that they
would result in welding the Re
publican membership OF over 500
into a fairly solid fighting force.
Had to Give Up
Efforts to settle the sugar tariff
fight outside of the conference-or
caucus-failed, however. when the
sugar block" decided to stand pat
on the ways and means committee s
recommendation for q boost In the
world sugar tariff from 2:4O to J
cents a pound.
Representative Cramton (R.l Of
Michigan announced the decision
after more than so members from
IL States in which sugar beets are
grown, decided that satisfactory
sliding scale OF sugar rates could
not be devised.
The chief topic of the farm bloc"
centered in the closing stages for
tariff boosts on live cattle and httes,
with members being willing to allow
a duty on boots, shoes and leather
in order to get the hide tariff.
Farm Schedules.
Representative simmons (R.l of
Nebraska headed these groups. They
demanded T6WKAtiAB VI SttSs SSS

ton of Canadian baby beeyes.
They asked that the tariff on cattle
weighing TOO pounds or less be In
creased from 1Is to cents a
pound and over 700 pounds from 2
to cents.
They proposed 10 per cent duty
on hides and announced that they
would accept Is per cent duty on
leather and 20 per cent on boots
and shoes.
The ways and means committee,
which has been revising the Hawley
bill, had several changes designed
to meet other demads of the farm
