SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis &. Bisch-

OHOULD husbands and wives
- separate occasionally?
Is it beneficial? is it wise?
And why not?
Surely everyone is agreed
that vacations are valuable,
holidays taken away from ones
work. from whatever routine
it may be.
Men, women, Children ali
need vacations. Not only does
a holiday rest one physically.
it rests one mentally. It lifts
your mind out of the rut or
routine, it stimulates your imag
ination, it revivifies your spirit,
it makes you see life from a
new angle.
Then why not apply this
wholesome principle to hus-
bands and wives? Why is it
not an excellent tonic for mar.
ried folks to separate and go
off by themselves every now
and then?
To be sure married people. by
far and large, are not accuS-
toned to spending their vaca-
tionS apart. It's a new idea and
consequently they are suSpi-
cious Of it.
Nevertheless, is it not true
that when a man associates
with a woman, and woman
with a man, day after day for
months and years at q stretch,
they are almost certain to be-
come just wee bit fed up with
each other? Human nature is,
at best, trying!
Continual association breeds
anti-climax, boredom, irritabil-
ity-sometimes even dislike and
hatred.
Cases Of bored couples who
have tried the yearly-vacation-
by-themselves plan have unfail-
ingly returned to each other
with renewed interest and aug
mented affection.
People don't lose their love
for each other that way. Love
is invariably increased! Even a
few days separation helps and
it may be all that is required
to rekindle the Smouldering
fires of interest.
In an age of increasing wor-
ries, such as ours, any scheme
which may heighten the love
interest between the sexes after
marriage should be tried-at
least once.
No woman need fear losing
her husband, nor a husband
his wife. under such a plan.
But the holiday separation
must be mutually agreed upon
in advance and executed with
good grace on both sides.
There must be no lowering
Of standards, nor violation Of
codes. Filtration, for instance,
would breed distrust and en-
danger the future. Both huS-
band and wife must play the
game" as it were, honestly,
fairly and truthfully.
Anyway, when all is said and
done, deep love ought to out
balance suspicion. If a wife
thinks she cannot trust her
husband out of her sight, or
he feels that way about her,
something may be amiss either
with one or the other.
A woman ought not feel as
inferior as that-nor q man.
For jealousy and lack Of con
fidence mean Just that.

the seven-hundredth wife.
For the woods are full of
men, but men are full of foxi-
ness; and a modern daWsel
hath no traffic signals to gNide
her.
Behold, the ways of a lover
of 1929 are not AS the ways of
Rudolph Valentino. and where
there was Subtlety, there is now
only nerve.
Verify the rules Of the love

that was once a skilled player
and a. sure winner is as one
that Seeketh to play auction

must sit among the amatuers
and the beginners until she
mastereth the. new tricks.
Go to. I charge thee, If thou
hast but fifty shekels, let the
half of it be spent for a perma-
nent wave. And with the other
half purchase an alluring per-

For good grooming is to be de-
sired above Paris wardrobe.
And a cheap scent is as un-
pleasant notoriety or worse than
none at all. But subtle trag-
rance oft passeth for TT"
Costly thy smile as thy purse
will buy; for a pearl in the mouth
is worth two upon the hand.
And dazzling eyes cannot hide
a dark tooth nor make a crooked
one kissable.
One good coat Is a comfort to
the spirit, but 20 hats are not
more than enough. For the face
that appeareth always in a diff
ferent frame never grows tire

Be not led astray by the flat
teries of sirens and saleswome11.
For they will gladly array thee
as a Mid-Victorian lithograph,
saying, Behold. how charming
