ESOUR mad young men passed
Il through my office today. A
Each one of them complained
because his wife had walked out
on him-each one OF them indig-
nantly wanting to know what had
come over women, anyway. Their
mas had not been like that. Their
mas had stuck by their dads.
They had realized that naturally
men were head of the house.
They hadn't dashed off to get
themselves jobs just because there
had been few words.
Each mad young man with the
sane complaint, and to each one
/ gave this response:
Calm yourself son, and wipe
your chin and take a tip from a
friend. You're seeing the pic
ture all wrong.
Here it is 1929 and you talk
as IL you were living in 1899.
Believing that the stuff that went
for papa will also go for son.
''IT WON'T"
at is true that your mama
wasn't like these modern girls. 1t
Is also true that she didn't dash
off and get a job for herself
when she and the old man had a
few words. But there was a rea-'
son
THERE WAS NO JOB TO
DASH TO!
Mama stuck because she had
to stick and her whole domestic
technique was based on that fact.
Mama probably loved papa plenty.
But she stood for his stuff, not
because she had more romance

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
.Bv Or. Louis e. Risch-.

TNHERE are several varieties of
4 parasites that may inhabit the
intestlnes. Among the best
known of these are tapeworms,
round pinworms,
The way these organisms en-.
ter the system is by way of food
containing the eggs.
Among the different kinds OF
taneworms Is the pork or 'Taenia
SoIium," This is not specially
common form in America. The
eggs of larvae are to be found in
pork, Another variety. the beef
tapeworm, has eggs which are in
beef. Another kind Is in fish and
still another kind in dog or cat
human body being accidentally by
way of the hands.
The head of the pork tapeWorm
is round and small. almost the
size of the head of a pin. Its
head has four sucking. disks and
several hook.like structures ar
ranged in a double row. The
neck OF the worm is narrow like
a thread. The body OF the worm
Is from six to IL feet in length
when mature and is made up of
segments.
After the eggs get into the
intestinal tract they gradually
develop into a large tapeworm.
This takes from three to three
and a half months. 1t is then
that the ends usually break off
and appear in discharges.
The beef tapeworm is even
larger than the pork variety, and
it is this variety that is so com.
mon in the United States. Some.
times it grows to form Is to 20
feet.
The head of the beef parasite
ID also larger than the pork
tapeworm. 1t likewise has four
sucking disks. But It has ne
tiny hooklike structures on the
head at all.
Although we usually associAts
the presence of q tapeworm with
q child, adults many have such
parasites as well.
The only positive proof oi
tapeworm is the discharge OF
the segments referred to above
All other symptoms are of doubt
ful value in making such, a dag
nosis.
Tapeworms are not dangerous
and sometimes they cause no di
turbance whatsoever.
A popular notion is that tape
worm causes ravenous hunger OF
a finicky appetite. These may oc
cur, but they are not the rule by
any means.
The usual symptoms Of tape
worms and other intestinal para
sites are bad breath, abdominal
pain, maybe nausea, vomiting OF
diarrhoea. Occasionally anemia II
present, and now and then signs
of nervousness. In adults, espe
cially women, tapeworm may
cause marked depression or OBJ
sessing ideas that the individua
Is seriously i'll.
Roundworms are more FIRE
quently found in children than il
the tapeworm.
These worms are from five tt
10 inches long, of light gray colol
and tapering towards the ends
There may be dozen present II
the intestines, or hundreds.
As with tapeworms, round
worms must be discovered in the
stools before their presence is as
sured. The symptoms are about
the same as for tapeworms, al

yond bounds If a girl. conducts
herself in the proper way"
Many times when girls com.
plain about the actions of men
in the places where they are EN-.
ployed they are much to blame
themselves.
The girl who wants to be a
goodfellow sort will be treated
that way.
Some men are likely to misun-
derstand the actions of a girl of
this kind, however, and overstep
her idea, of being a goodfellow.
There are many girls who will
permit liberties that encourage
men to so still further or to at
tempt 70 do so.
Then there is complaint to the
head Of the department.
This may result in a change Of
manner Of treatment or it may
mean a bitter enmity that may re.
suit unfavorably for the girl.
To be treated properly a girl
should show that she wants to
command Eespect.

WnaB WHO huOWB
NNHAT strange look ON a woman's
Il face, when she discovers that
another woman Is trying to vamp
her husband, Is not so often
prompted by indignation as by
astonishment.
Nobody is so surprised as the
average wife, when another woman
tries to drape her perfectly good,
but awfully human, husband in
the glorified garments Of
Romeo.
That another woman should
regard in q romantic light the
man whom she has been dosing
with bicarbonate of soda, remind
ing to wear his rubbers and to
get his hair cut, and rubbing with
unguentine or camphorated oil
for ten or fifteen years, seems
almost incredible.
1t positively amazes her, that
another woman could possibly per-
ceive q dashing Prince Charming
or a reckless adVenturer. in the
timid soul, who dares not eat
cucumbers, is afraid of draughts,
and permits the traffic cop to
bawl him out, without a protest.
1t quite astounds a seasoned
wife, to learn that some other
woman can actually dream" of
the man, who looks like a con-
vict when he needs a shave and

discover that another woman re-
CARDS az "shikish" or "It.ish" or
Irresistible, the nice, old absent
minded soul, who has been inertly
pecking her on the cheek, night
and morning ever since the honey
moon and who never notices
whether she has on her motor
coat or her backless evening
gown.
1t Ia a deep dark mystery to
HER, how any woman could pic
ture as dangerously fascinating"
or bold and audacious. the per-
fectly harmless creature, whom
she has heard groaning and splut-
tering under the cold shower;
whose diet she has had to- regu-
late in order to reduce his fast
increasing girth, and whose scalp
she has had to massage in order
to preserve the few precious
tendriIs over his bald-spot.

helpless creature who stands be.
fore her in his wrinkled pajamas,
suppresSing a yaWn with one
hand and ruffling up his hair
with the other, as he wildly
wonders WHAT he did with his
glasses.
It's no use! A woman may love
her husband and fully appreciate
all his charms and virtues. She
may even concede that he looks
well in evening clothes, and better
than most men in his golf knick-
ers. But, she cannot understand
any woman clinging for solace
or romance to the man that she
has had to put to bed with a sick
headache and get out Of bed with
an alarm clock, every morning.
Nor, see how any woman can
regard as alluring or diverting the
man who talks to her only Of
his teeth, his golf. bis digestion and
