SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-RY Dr.. Louis d. Bisch-


The average American, be he
man or woman, is a tense, tightly
muscIed and lightly nerved in
dividual.
And not only is he a spring,
wound up to the limit, but, what
is worse, he does not know how to
: unwind himself.
This overtenseness of ours is
really becoming national falling.
1t is true that we accomplish
marvels in organization, business
and what not. And it is true that
we have the most money in the
world and are the most powerful
nation.
But, likewise. it is an undeniable
fact that we are paying heavily
for all this achievement with i'm.
paired physical health, with ner-
vous breakdoyvns and with general
discomfort and unhappiness.
Have you ever observed how
the average man and woman shows
the effects of this continual speed
ing.up in his drawn features, his
exaggeration Of movement, his
overemphasis Of voice, gesture
and even language?
We live too excitedly, too hur-
riedly, too energetically.
{ We are forever talking about eff
ficieney. We want to make every
minute count.
Yet all the while we are using
ourselves up long before our time.
We keep giving way under the ter"
rifle strain.
THE best of it is that. in being
constantly on the go, a large per.
centage of our energy Is wasted.
With so much speed, often unnec-
essary speed, energy is often not
so controlled and directed as IT
might be.
Were we to work more leisure
" but more surely, we would, IN
the end, actually accomplish more.
As it is, we jump from this
thing to that in the mad rush OF
competition and many posslblli'
ties escape us and our punch Is
weakened. because our energy Is
spread and scattered over too
wide an area.
For one thing. learn to relax.
If you find that difficult at
first, try resting on a couch after
meals or slump into an arm
chair. Sometimes a walk helps
to unwind you. Often racy de-
tective story will do the trick.
But be sure to pay attention 10
rest time and to play time. :,
The probability is that you VIII
need to acquire habits of recrea-
ton more than you viii habits OF
work.
When Edward Box surprised
everybody by deliberately retiring
at so to devote himself to the
things he always wanted to do,
but had no time for, he set q
precedent that might well be fol-
lowed by everybody.
If, however, you are not In
such circumstances as to afford
retirement at so, at least you can
learn how to work so that you
will not be forced to retire.
Don't get the notion that you
are stronger than anybody else,
or that you are immune to those
devastating forces in American
life that lay US low so early.
If you are in vigorous health
so much the better for you. But
hold onto It. It is astonishing
how quickly and Unexpectedly one
may slip.
Take things easy. Think! Be
- the. safe side

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland
It's Swank to Be a Lady"

The hardest task of the modern
mans life is to keep up with the
modern woman. She seems to be
trying everything-once!
Just as he gets used to her in
one role, presto! she does light
ming changel And he has to get
acquainted with her all over
again. Its maddening!
All of which is a gentle way OF
breaking the glad news that
GIRLS HAVE GONE FEMININE!
It's swank to be "a perfect LADY,!
Bouffant evening frocks and
long hail are only superficial
symptoms. The smart girl of the
moment is OH, so proper! Grand
mamma herself, could not have
been any more reserved, any shyer,
any more punctilious.
Hard-boiled flappers are as dis
tinctly declasse as vamps. And
now don't faintD good breeding is
actually good form" again.
Wen, what are you boys going to
do about it? You have been sigh
ing and moaning for the return Of
the sweet, old-fashioned girl. And
now you've got your wish. She's
here with a vengeance.
She has wiped most OF the rouge
off her cheeks, discarded the
mascara around her eyes, and IS
even going light with the hpsticN.
Her manners are as irreproachable
as though she spent her mornings
reading Emily Post and her after
Moons with Queen Mary of Eng
land.
Even her dancing is positively
REFINED. And she can refuse
a cocktail with an air of delicate
feminine virtue that is almost .
reproach.
Petting is cheap and disgust
ing practice" and against her
code; and she would as soon think
of promiscuous kissing and pub.
lie caressing as she would OF
washing the dishes or taking
bath in the drawing room.
All Of this is something OF q
shock to the younger men, VINO
were just beginning to get used
to the hard-boiled play girl, and to
enjoy finding life one glorious
cafeteria, where they helped them
selves and managed to skip the
bill collector. They are a little
dazed.
But the sad truth is that styles
in women have changed. Women
have found that the wild woman"
role didn't PAY, and have dis
carded 1t. They have discovered
that men don't put IN a wholesale
order for kisses that are given
away as free samples, and that
fifty-fifty love led but to spinster-
hood--or the divorce court. They
have learned that woman's win
ming card is. FEMININITY--and
now they are bulling the market.
1t is only the girl who is not Gin
the know" who is still playing The
wild woman. All the rest are
"perlect ladies'" It's swapk to be
q "ladyp.

urged Its use generally throughout the

cations first annual land sales con-
ference late In 1928, was prompted by
q desire to meet the farm real estate
