KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTRoW.

effort shake it of? Is it just brooding
and too much concern with symptoms
which will disappear when you pay less
attention to them? Decidedly not. Il
is notably true that excessive attention
and brooding and giving in to the symp-
toms make them worse. so that the
chief attitude to be cultivated Is as
much neglect as possible.
The neurasthenic must put up
good fight, and nothing else will win.
But, unfortunately, he often lacks the
very sinews of war to fight with. The
mental factor in the symptoms is a
marked one. but it isn't all in his mind
by any means. The symptoms are too
real, they run too much in the same
patterns in cases of widely different
origin to suppose that they result en-
tirely from mental anxiety which ac-
companies them. Their cause is OBJ
scure, and so they are called func-
tional disorders, and must be treated
at once with medical relief and under
the most favorable mental conditions.
AS this sufferer at present has none
Of the fatigue symptoms and his only
incapacity is that recurrent fear that
he is going all to pieces, he isn't quite
convinced that his curse of existence
Is a hangover of a neurastheric NAL
ady. He may, If he likes, regard it as
relapse, or even as psychic or men,
tai scar; all Of which means that while
he has recovered from the acute neu-
rasthenic incapacity of his two severe
breakdowns, the recovery has left be-
hind it liability which is more or less
chronic. yet in time and with favoring
circumstances will likewise retire.
The upshot of it all is that those Of
us who are subject to nerves" follow
certain typical patterns, of breakdown:
and these make the clinical pictures
that those who minister to minds dis
eased learn to recognize and to classify.
The mind runs true to form both in
health and in disorder

neurasthenia, as likewise hysteria, both
for temperament that tends in this
direction and for well developed set
of symptoms which may be more or less

acute attack. This patient furnishes
a good instance for q general discussion.
OF course, he Is neurasthenic by tenn

have developed complete neuraSthenic
attacks which incapacitated him for
months. OF these he has had two
actual breakdowns, when he has had
to stop work and was pronounced in

fairly well, yet never free from some
symptoms. At present he is holding a

his friends even suspect it.

The patient usually feels worse In

are good days and bad ones. The new

this applies to marked or light attacks

The eyelash curler is quite harmless,
If it is used correctly. Be very careful,
however, when you are curling your
lashes that you do not pinch the skin
between the eurler, as it will make it
discolored. Brush your eyelashes and
eyebrows every night with a small eye
brow brush moistened In olive oil or
vaseline. This will keep them lubri-
Gated and glossy. Brush your eyelashes
upward with your brush before you
use the curler.

legs are very light and inconspicious
YOU need not remove them. II, however,
you want to wear an evening or party
frock, or a bathing suit, you may use
a cream depilatory at regular intervals

A year and a half ago the American
Medical Association reported that $l17,-

That's been increased since then. Don't
add too much to this terrific sum, or
if you do, get good value for what you
spend.
Do you want to save on tooth paste?
It isn't the paste, but the brushing, that
cleans your teeth. Buy a good tooth
brush, that's value for your money, and
then just the ordinary powdered chalk

much, it comes in bulk and little,

his two organizations, the Southern
Tariff Association and the American
Taxpayers League, will be called to
the attention Of the postoffice de-

man of the senate lobby investigat-

Caraway said he believed the de-

to what had been going on and that
it might want to inquire what use
had been made of the mails to
raise funds.
In addition, Caraway said he in
tended to issue a report giving the
committees conclusions on uses to
which Arnold had placed the funds
entrusted to the care of his organ
iZations.
II want to do this in order that
those who have been contributing

U. S., BRITISH
naval MOVES
ARE RIDICULED
Once Famous Expert Looks
on Impending Farley
With PesSimism.

BIZ United Press,
LONDON, Nov. 11.-America and
Great Britain each should build the
naval ornaments deemed necessary
for their respective defenses and
mot squabble over the question of
parity or similar practically unsolv-
able questions" Lord Sydeham of
Cornbe told the United Press in an
interview today.
Discussing the forthcoming five
power naval conference in peSsimis-
tice terms the white-haired octo-
genarian, patriot and once famous
armament expert was emphatic in
his opinion of naval parity negotia-
tions, under way eleven years after
the World war armistice was signed.
Discussing Prime Minister Mac
Donald's recent visit to the United
States and the naval negotiations,
Lord Sydeham expressed belief that
Japan will demand more cruisers
than she was allotted under the
Washington treaty. He insisted that
Italy is bound to claim parity of
navies with France, which France
probably will refuse.
GAS far as I can see," he said, "Mr.
Macdonald and Mr.. Hoover have
not got to the question Of How
much can we come down on our
minimum armament requirements in
in order to meet the demands of
other powers?'"
AS a result, he continued, parity
becoes the most dangerous question
before the conference.
Referring to future wars, Lord
Sydenham predicted that, despite
air bombing, the modified modern
battleships will remain indispensa-
BILE.
Lord Sydenham is known best for
his book, Notifications Past, Pres
ent and Future" written in 1890, in
which he predicted the useleSsness
of European fortresses, as proved in
the World war. He served in the
army thirty-three years.
