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


0CARCELY a person exists who
~ does not or has not, at one
time or another, harbored some
kind Of obsession.
An obsession may be defined as
an act which the person realizes
is absurd, but to which he must
needs give way in order to obtain
temporary peace Of mind.
Strictly speaking, however. OBJ
sessions also may be thoughts only
which do not prompt action. That
is a disagreeable thought may
pop UP IN the mind again and
again despite the efforts Of the
individual to keep it out. This
may be called an obsessing
thought.
Perhaps you recall how, as
boy or girl. you got into the
habit of touching all the gate
posts as you passed them or made
it a point not to step on any OF
the cracks in the pavement. Chill
dren certainly develop a variety
of obsessing tricks like that.
Sooner or later they pass.
Adults, too, may be obsessed in
similar ways, and all, may say
within the range of the normal.
Some find it incumbent upon them
to add up the numbers of every
automobile license plate they nap
pen to see. Others feel strong
impulse to touch electric light
bulbs suspended from the ceiling,
etc.
The really tormenting obses.
sions, however, those which are
part and parcel Of a neurosis or
functional nerve disorder, are the
compulsions.
People who have a compulsion
neurosis often appear ludicrous to
the lucky ones not similarly af.
flicted, but the mental suffering
which often they endure may
amount to agony.
peace unless she washes her hands
every time she touches a door
knob.
A third, young girl. is
harassed by what she considers
filthy sex thoughts. Fight them
as she will she cannot stop her
thoughts from dwelling upon them.
People with obsessions receive,
as rule, but little sympathy.
The ideas which harass them
seem so nonsensical that one
jumps to the conclusion that they
could be controlled by an act of
the will.
But such is far from the case.
and they try hard and often over
period of years.
The trouble, you see, lies in the
unconscious mind and conse-
quently no conscious act can
remedy it. They may succeed for
a while. an hour or a day or a
week perhaps. But sooner or
later the obsessing thoughts re-
turn despite everything.
Sufferers from obsessions need
not despair, however. There are
certain psychological methods
available nowadays for the i'm
provement and culture of obses-
sions, no matter what their kind
or how long they have held sway.
In all cases a psychiatrist, a
medical man who has made a
speciality of mind disturbances,
should be consulted. Sometimes
he can give fairly prompt relief.
Sometimes it takes many months
to bring about cure.
The point TO be emphasized is
that help is available for those
49, Weuld seek it out.

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
.By Helen Rowland

No Man Dissembles His Love
MY Daughter, 1 charge thee,
AVA be not deceived by false
logic. Seek not to comfort thy.
self, saying, "Lo, this man loveth
me in his secret heart, but lack
eth the courage to confess it."
For, verify, when man
Ioveth a woman, neither locks nor
bolts. nor distance, nor duty, nor
dumbness shall keep him from
her side!
Faint heart doth not hold him
back. For when a man deslreth
a danasel, he feareth but one
thing in all the world-even that
some other man may win her.
Conscience doth not constrain
him. For what mans conscience
corneth into action until his heart
hath gone on a strike? And
what mans scruples trouble him,
until after the kiss?
Prudence doth not restrain him.
For mans caution never
awakeneth until his enthusiasm
hath gone to sleep and his ardor
hath begun to languish.
Self-denial doth not stay him.
For the beginning of love is the
essence of selfishness; and it is
only in it's mellow age, that al
truism and self-abnegation tinge
A mans devotion and arouse his
chiValry.
Humility doth not deter him,
nor modesty paralyze him. For
no man is so lacking in vanity,
that he doubteth in his heart that
a woman could love him, nor so
shy that he belieVeth himself
without a chance.
Discretion doth not hamper him.
For a man in love considereth not
diplomacy nor wisdom, nor any
thing under the sun-save his
hearts desire!
Then. adjure thee, my Daugh-
ter, console not thyself with these
sweet decisions.
For a man in love needeth no
encouragement" and naught in
the heavens above, nor upon the
face of the earth beneath can
L.
his heart leadeth. Nay, verify,
neither duty. nor business" nor
Conferences, nor pride, nor
fear, nor another woman!
For when a man loveth
woman, he heedeth not the traf-
fic signal, but maketh for the
high road to the object of his
hearts desire! And NO man dis
sembleth his love!-SELAH.

EARTHQUAKE

Severe earthquake shocks in
recent years have aroused more
than usual interest in seeking
ways to ward off disaster from
them.

moon is in its first or last quar-.

Whenever I find myself again in the United States, after sojourn in foreign places, the first topic dis cusscd with those interested in a travellers point of view is always woman.
