Ground Litter
By Elsie Robinson

Steve had snapped at Anges'
friend, Mabel
And the time Agnes had been
snooty to Stevens friend Bill
N the bum oil stock Steve had
bought without asking Agnes
N the set of books Agnes had
subscribed to without consulting
Steve.
Absurd grievances, but they ac-
cumulated in memory.
Accumulated as ground litter
accumulates in the forest.
A litter which they had never
stopped to clear up and in which
the slow fire of their resentment
had been spreading secretly until
it had gained such headway that
it was almost beyond control.
That Elliott row lasted for
weeks, until it became a neigh
borhood classic. They've patched
1t up, thank goodness, and they're
fOnder than ever of each other
BUT THEY'VE LEARNED NOT
TO ACCUMULATE ROUND
LITTER.
When something bothers them
now they have it out-clear up
the rubbish as they go along.
That's good dope for managing
other humans
IT'S. ALSO GOOD DOPE FOR
MANAGING YOURSELF!
You accumulate ground litter in
your own nature-dangerou clut-
ters of prejudice, ignorance, mis-
understanding, resentment. and
general peevishness which you
should never allow to persist.
Some day, unless you clean it
up. trouble will start in that rub
bish and eat into the roots Of
your life before it breaks out in
wholesale destruction.
Go after that ground litter
clear 1t up!
Don't leave inflammable rubbish
in your mind!

THERE'S a bad fire burning
l. over on the Peak.
The ranger says 1t had prob
ably been burning for days before
it broke out in the open.
Burning along secretly in the
ground litter until a big area had
been ravaged and the fire had
gained such headway it was be-
yond control.
Dangerous stuff-ground litter,
That's why mountain folk gener-
ally keep it cleared up.
Makes me think of the Elliot
row.
For eight years Steve and Agnes
Elliott had been the model couples
Of the community. No one had
ever heard them say an unkind
thing to each other. They were
almost too polite
Then, last winter, when Steve
was getting over the flu, the
trouble started. One day they
flared up into big quarrel. The
quarrel began over nothing but it
went on and on.
According to Steve, Agnes had
been getting his goat for years
And according to Agnes, she had
been the worlds silentest and suf-
feringest martyr.
Each one dragged out little In.
cidents that the other one had
forgotten
For. instance, Agnes had been
irritated for years, at the way
Steve held his fork, but she had
been too polite to tell him so!
And Steve had been all smoked
up because Agnes never rolled up
the end of the tooth paste tube,
but he also didn't want to hurt
her feelings by calling her atten.

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

10y LIE LOuiS 1s DASSu-
DARALYSIs Agitans Is by no
Il means an uncommon dis.
ease.
1t is an affection of the nervous
system, is chronic and progressive
in character. and may be looked
upon as a sort of early and pre-.
mature senility.
The main symptoms are those
of tremor. muscular ridigity and
muscular weakness.
1t is rare under 40 years of age.
Most of the cases are between so
and 40.
When it does develop it comes
on very slowly. Occasionally,
however. symptoms develop quick
ly, often because Of a fright or
shock or an injury.
Those suffering from paralysis
agitans present a very typical
picture in the way they look and
walk.
The face Is markedly expression
less. 1t looks more like a mask.
There is very little play in the
face muscles in registering shades
of emotion. The eyes are staring
and lifeless.
In standing and walking these
patients have the head bent for
ward, and the arms are held
somewhat flexed at the elbows.
They give the impression of
wanting to run or fall forward.
In fact. they often have the de-
sire to ruin and find they can do
this more easily than walk.
The tremor or fine shaking
usually begins in the hands. Often
there is more or less constant
finger as though the patient were
in the act of rolling a pill.
The legs become affected sooner
or later and abnormal movement
Is sometimes most noticeable at
the ankles.
When the tremor affects the
head the motion is up and down
in a vertical plane and not from
side to side
Muscular rigidity is shown by
stiffness of the neck, often also
of the back muscles. This makes,
the patient awkward in all his
movements.
Not only is muscular movement
slow, 1t is also markedly weak,
Usually the weakness Is greatest
in the part where there is the
most tremor.
Paralysis agitans was really diff.
ferentiatC1 as a distinct disease
apart from other tremors by Dr.
Parkinson, in 1917. That ; why,
the condition is often called Par
kinson's Disease.
The cause is organic, certain de-
generative changes in the nerves
in the lower part of the brain.
The disease is not durable, but
1t is improvable at times or per-
haps les progress may be some
what arrested.
These patients do best in warm,
Dry, sunny climates. 1t is impor-
tant that they avoid exposure to
cold and bad weather.
1t is likewise best that they be
protected as much as possible
from excitement and worry of all
kinds.
Drugs are Of doubtful value and
those used should be selected by q
physician.

WHAT is the difference between

About two weeks-or about
two cocktails" answers the Cynic.
But that was true away back in
the prehistoric age of sentiment,
when all roads led to Romance.
Not in this day of the coed bar

Is platonic friendship possible

In a world where men and

the professions and the business

and even get, their. hair cuts and
their cigarettes in the same shops,
platonic friendship thrives and
flourishes like the green bay tree!
No girl could possibly fall In
love with all the men she meets
and deals with and pals with,
every day. No man could pos
sibly make love to all the women
he is constantly being thrown
with. 'l,.
Yet they like each other and
understand each other and even
interest and stimulate each other.
And THAT'S platonic friendship!
The most wholesome, lasting and
dependable human relation in the
world.
Most of the real love in the
world begins in clean platonic
friendship. And most of the mar
riages simmer down into a sort
of glorified pIatonic friendship
after the first year.
In the gay and cynical Nineties,
there was no such thing as pla-
tonic friendship; today there is
almost TOO MUCH platonic friend

ivy and honeysuckle It is smother

choking out the tender flowers of
sentiment.
The great crying need of most
married couples is to get AWAY
from the placid state of platonic
affection and be sweethearts, once
