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

NNHE watchword Of today, in
l. the realm of health. is preven-
ton. W i t h the marvellous adj
vances made by science, doctors
nowadays can almost work mirac-
les at times curing disorders
which used to be considered incur
able or hopelessly mysterious. Is
that sufficient reason, however,
for waiting until disease actually
takes hold before bestirring our
selves to seek a remedy?
Strangely enough, it was suffi-
cient reason for a man I heard
expressing himself on this subject
not long ago. He said, why
should 1 fatten the purses of the
medicos when there is nothing
the matter with ME? It's time
enough to pay a fee when l get
sick. The physicians are pretty
clever and l have absolute con-
fidence that my first illness will
not kill dme. Why worry in ad-
vance,"
Well, this man was ignorant of
two important facts at least. The
first is that doctors actually make
more money in treating a sick
person than in examining one and
advising him how to avoid getting
sick. The second is, he did not
know that sooner or later every
body develops somewhere a weak
link in the chain of health and
that actually there was something
the matter with him, too it hap
pened to be his kidneys-although
pronounced symptoms had not
yet manifested themselves.
When doctors keep on preach.
ing the doctrine of prevention of
disease they surely are not max
ing themselves richly thereby.
Have you ever stopped to con-
slider that of all the professions,
medicine is the only one which, in
trying to promote general health.
cuts down the number of its ow1
patients and so reduces its own
income?
And disease ftself-even acute
disorders. like typhoid pneumonia
or scarlet fever, which enter our
bodies from the outside as it were,
would be much less likely. if at
all likely, to owe erwhelm the sys-
tenn If all our organs and tissues
We're in the pink Of perfection and
thereby able to withstand the as
saults of germs and their poisons.
Besides. there are such things
AS chronic diseases. These begin
slowly and insidiously as a rule
and are. in effect, a weakness of
a particular organ or group Of
organs. They may do their work
and. apparently. do it we'll for
years. That is because the healthy
part of the organ that remains
"compensates" for the lack Of
ability of the disabled part.
Nevertheless. the diseased. dis
abled part is the weak link in
the chain of health just the
same. 1t is that particular weak
organ that makes a chronic suf-
ferer and invalid of it's unsus.
pecting possessor later on.
Don't wait. therefore. until
pain or some other symptom forci.
bly, draws attention 10 YOaI

Don't Take Things Easy

Pontoppidah writes. "The spirit
Of romance had entered then home
and left behind the restlessness
and insecurity which is the heart
beat of life, nay, life itself The
paradisiac monotony of their ex-
istence had vanished. The serpent
had been there with his promise of
distant and strange glory. The
little SNUG. self.satisfied happiness
of domestiCity had been turned out
Of doors and had at least for a
while given way to the great. sad
yearning which opens the mind

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
Men-and Their Women

Men.-and Their Women
YNHERE is no use offering
l. woman halo or a laurel
tn as long as she is secretly
longing for orange blossoms.
There always comes the morn
ing after" romance, when
woman wonders how on earth
she ever got into it, and a man
wonders how on earth he can
ever get out of it.
1t is nothing in dhe world but
her unquenchable idealism that
enables a woman to find the pure
gold of a mans love underneath
all the dross of masculine selfish
ness.
A man likes a woman who is
like a perfect Indian summer
day-glowing. tender, gay and
warm, but NOT intense!
There have been women who
had no time for sewing, no tllne
to curl their hair and even no
time for love and marriage: but
there never yet lived a woman
who had no time to stop and
listen to a rich and racy piece
of gossip.
Many a woman tries to hold
love by closing all the exits, and
thus hastens its death by suffoca-
ton.
A flapper is highly amused at
married woman's "narrow-minded'
jealousy: but, somehow. after she
has acquired one of her own, she
loses all that broad-minded lcnl-
ency toward the community
ownership" of husbands.
A man never realizes that he ls
no longer a boy until he wakes
up to discover that his college
ideals and his college jokes are
beginning to be as moth-eaten as
his college pennants and pillows.
A woman's regret. at the loss
of a good umbrella or stepping
husband is always Softened by the
comforting reflection that she
won't have to keep her eye on
them any longer.

parently are permitted without q
thought by the Health Department, the

Loss Figured At $225,O00.
BASED upon an estimate for the en-
tire country. Washington's proportional
monetary loss due to this annual plague
would be $225, 900. If one considers the
loss due to decreased efficiency during
the several weeks Of affiiction as well as
the actual loss of time, doctors bills
and travelling expenses in efforts to get
away from ragweed-infested areas, this
estimate Is surely very conservative. It
is hardly possible to estimate the
amount of illness during the early Win
ter due to the lowering of vitality re-
sulting from hay fever during August
and September.
destroying weeds during the first two
weeks of August should prove an ex-
cellent investment to the taxpayers and
merchants. A Washington free from
rank growths Of weeds in unkempt spots
would not only prove a much more liv-
able place for those who suffer from
this annual pestilence, but would he a
much more agreeable place to look at"
