ONCE OVERS

Tad would like a little atten-
~ ton once in while.
He does not expect as much as
is given Mother, but still he would
like to be considered more than
the mere money.maker for the
family.
Usually when men and women
write home they address letters to
mothers.
Most Of what they contain is Of
interest to mothers.
Incidentally some mention may
be made of Dad"
Dads are not supposed to be
sentimental.
But this thought is carried too
far by most people.
A little special message to Dad
should be included in each letter.
He may not do more than grunt
when he reads it.
But 1t is a, safe bet that he will
try to get hold Of that letter and
read and re-read the pleasing ref
erence to himself.
Mother will be pleased too, II
Dad is remembered.
She knows him better than the
children do.
She realizes he likes to think
he has warm spot in the hearts
of his boys and girls.
Poor old Dad, he does not get
much consideration-and how long
would the homs run Without him3

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

The Younger Generation Is get

It would take an archeologist

no longer dated by her face or

Love is not the flame. Love is
that glowing tenderness which Is
left after the flame has died
down and the novelty has worn
off.
It is the mission Of a vacuum
cleaner to keep all the dirt out
of the corners, even though 1t
makes life hideous while doing it
but why do some women seem
to fancy that that's a mans no

Nobody ever longed for a

SECRETS OF
HEALTH


The liver is a gland, and it Is
the largest gland in the body. 1t
measures from 10 to IL inches
from side to side, to z inches
from front to back, to 4 inches
In its thickest portion from top to
bottom.
The liver il subject to many de-
rangements, 20 or 80 or more, some
due to trouble with the liver itself
and some caused by disease in
other organs.
The liver, therefore, is an organ
one ought to be familiar about.
The working OF the liver consti-
tHtes A most marvellous chemical
laboratory. It's function is very
complicated.
Suffice it to say. however, that
the following three functions are
the outstanding ones:
First, the smallest subdivisions
of the liver, the liver cells, manu-
faeture bile from the blood. This
is stored UP until needed by the
body in the gall-bladder, a sac the
shape of a banana, situated under
the right lobe of the liver. .
Bile Is of a golden-brown or
greenish color. The amount Sc
GREETED in "a hours varies with the
amount of food eaten. It aver
ages about so ounces.
One of the most essential func-
tons of bile is in digestion, par
ticularly its action on fats, which
it emulsifies. Bile also aids in alb
sorption of fats through the intes-
final walls and it acts likewise as
a mild laxative in that it stimu.
lates the muscles of the i1testines
to activity.
The liver is in the second
place, the organ which converts
the dextrose of the blood (Which
is derived from the starches and
sugars eatenl into a chemical
form known as glycogen.
When the body needs more
starch and sugar for its wellbe-
ing the liver cells turn the gly-
cogen back again into dextrose,
and as such 1t is forced into the
circulation.
And then, in addition, the liver
performs other wonderful chemi-
cal changes such, for instance, as
changing certain waste products
into urea, which remains in the
circulation until 1t reaches the
kidneys, which excrete it.
Most people are familiar with
jaundice. This is due to the bile
pigment coloring the skin and
membranes because the bile, be-
cause of obstruction, usually such
as gall stones, cannot pass into
the intestines.
sCirrosis of the liver is another
common and well.known affliction.
In all cases of cirrhosis there is
an increase, Of so-called connect
i've tissue in the liver, a kind OF
tissue that might be likened to
framework which supports the
numerous liver gland cells.
Alcoholism is probably the chief
cause Of liver cirrhosis, although
other poisons may cause it.
In some cases OF liver disease
the organ Is shrunken while in
others 1t may be fatty and en-
1arged.
Assesses may also occur in the
liver as well as cancer.
In gall stone obstruction the
pain is most agonizing and is
colicky in character. Operation
for the removal of the stone or
stones is often Indicated.
As stated previously, the live
may be subject to many diseases,
which is not astonishing when we
consider its intricate machinery.

therefore, be investigated and
