A man in the home is-a man

office Is something else again.
He is part of something infinitely

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

WHEN we bear in mind that in
w sanity and mental detective
ness have more than doubled in
the past 80 years, it is putting it
very mildly to state that mental
health is an essential.
The rate of increase of mental
Illness is indeed alarming.
And 1t is not because advance
in the diagnosis and treatment Of
mental disorders has Jagged be-
hind similar advances made in gen.
eral medicine.
!. No, mental disorders are being
recognized earlier, are being trea-
ed more scientifically, and more
cases are being cured than ever
before.
The menace of mental disease
cannot be laid to the door Of sci
ence! The menace Of the steadily
increasing mental troubles can
largely be blamed on civilization
It's the increasing stress and
strain Of modern life that pro-
duces nervous and mental break
down!
It's the wear and tear that we
subject ourselves to that does the
damage. It's the carelessness OF
common sense rules of living that
undermines.
It's the mad rush. the keeness
of competition, the worship Of gold,
possession Of power. that insidi-
ously eats wormholes into the very
structure and fabric Of our physi-
cal and nervous systems.
And then, sooner or later-but
inevitably-the crash comes. Then
we pay the price!
What price civilization? Might
well be asked.
Yes, often the price Is neurosia,
a psychosis. a mentally snfeebled
child!
What are the rules of mental
health?
Just plain good sense, that's all!
Don't fall victim to the things
!. have mentioned above.
Don't give way to the ambitions
of others.
Don't overdo and exaggerate in
anything.
Be moderate! Take 1t easy!
Sleep, eat and recreate prop
erly!
Learn how to work.
Paw attention to the needs OF
the mind as well as to those of the
body.
Hear music, read books, see
plays. play games, laughI
Above all, stop and think.
Change your method of living
in such q way that 1t conforms to
what is rational.
Watch fatigue particularly. 1t
Is always a danger sign. Make
up fatigue by rest and sleep.
Remember that your mind is the
controlling organ and that It must
be safeguarded!
And il you find yourself slip
ping despite your own efforts tc
adhere to a sensible mental and
emotional life, then don't foo
around with eIf.doctoring and the
advice of neighbors.
Find out what is wrong and
have 1t corrected.

It's awfully hard to convince a
woman that she is married to a

she has stood by and seen a sales

A woman receives her first init

that the men who ask for her
telephone number are getting per-
ceptibly younger.

always ends by tying himself to

80 ARE Slain IN
HINDU RIOTS
IN INDIA

LONDON. Feb. Z G.N.s}.-With
80 Pathans dead and S27 injured
as the result of attacks upon them
by infuriated mobs of Hindu Ia
borers, additional British troops
have been called out to the riots
which have been in progress in
Bombay for several days, an ex-
change telegraph dispatch from
that city stated today.
The riots started following ru-
mors that the Pathans had at
tempted to kidnap Hindu children
for human sacrifices.
Later it was reported that the
Hindus were infuriated at the
Pathans because the latter had
acted as strikebreakers in a recent
strike.
The situation now takes on the
aspect of religious war. 1t is re.
ported that the Hindu attacks are
really a form of revenge for al.
legged damaging of Hindu temples
by Pathans.
