his possessions, his enjoyment,
but he could not find content.
At last he turned his back on it
all-on his castles and jewels,
his dancing girls, his racing
horses, his beautiful gardens, his
wife and newborn son-on every
thing that had been sweet and
splendid and powerful in his life.
Siddhattha Gotama turned his
back and went out into the world,
penniless, alone and unknown, to
become a Buddha-that is, an
Enlightened One.
He became Buddha, he be.

he did not do so merely through

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

TLAND treatment is often ef-
VI ficacious in skilled hands and
often results are obtained when
other methods have failed.
1t Is known, Of course. that
glands influence the development
of the body and mind in a most
remarkable way. One has only
to observe the stunted. shriveled
idiotic cretin, whose condition is
due to an absence or deficiency
Of the thyroid gland, to be con-
vinced Of this. And feeding such
a cretin thyroid improves him.
The glands l am referring to
here are often called the "endo-
crime glands.'' of the duct less
glands or the glands Of inter-
nal secretion"
The most important Of these
glands are the thyroid already
referred to, the thymus, which
Is the largest at birth and then
gradually disappears, the pitui-
tary gland in the brain, the
pienal. also in the brain; the
sex glands, and the adrenal or
suprarenal glands, one Of which
Is situated on the top of each
kidney.
The glands all seem to work to.
gether in harmony and to be de-
pendent one upon. the other.
When all Is well we say the
glands "are in balance" When
the individual is i'll the glands
must be brought back into bal.
ance again.
In functional nervous disorders,
when the blood pressure is low,
the glands are usually out Of bal.
ance. Often, too, in such func-
tlonal disturbances there has been
considerable fear and anxiety over
a period of years with the re.
suli that the adrenal glands may
be more or less affected. The ad.
ministration of such glands often
therefore raises the blood pres
sure and otherwise helps the
nerve condition.
Glands are manufactured from
sheep and hogs for medical use.
They may be given by mouth,
so many capsules per day, or in
liquid form and injected under
the skin with a hypodermic
syringe.
In cases where gland unbalance
is present, it may require con.
siderable study and experience to
find cut which gland or com.
bination of glands is at fault.
The size Of the doses also Is a
matter which can only be worked
out after repeated trial,
Persons who are treated with
glands by physicians should there
fore not be inpatient, Each
gland case is an individual prob.
lem all by itself.

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE

Why Wives Turn Gray

Why Wives Turn Gray
MOST of the time, a normal
XV1 man doesn't know nor care
how the household machinery is
running. Just so long as his meals
are on time, and he can find his
things, he is content to let the
women do the worrying.
Then, all Of a sudden, after he
has lain awake for half an hour
from eating too much green corn,
he wakes up some morning with
the reform spirit burning in him,
and the brilliant idea of revolu-
tionizing the little world that re.
wolves around him.
Lives there a man with soul so
dead, who never to himself hath
said, What this house needs is
SYSTEM! Management. method,
efficiency! That's whatr'
1t happens every now and then
like epileptic spells.
Your prophetic soul gets the
spirit message, when you suddenly
find him tiptoeing around the
pantry, shopping in the ice-box or
opening the bread tin. YOU know
what is going to happen. after
that!
You know that for days, until
the spell passes, your sweet home
life will be nothing but a police
system, and that you will be
watched like the keeper of a
speakeasy. The Course" has come
upon you!
He will find flaws in the plumb
ing, lint on the napkins, smudges
on the windows, holes In the
screens, rust on the knives, and
shells in the scrambled eggs.
He will sneak up on the cook and
catch her throwing out beet tops
or watermelon rind-and reproach-
fully tell you all the things they
might have been used for.
He will discover defunct to-
mato and a few withered lettuce
leaves behind the ice, and spend
half an hour patiently explaining
what a delicious salad" a thrifty
wife might have made of them.
He will enliven the dinner table
by reading aloud all the cooking
recipes and domestic hints in the
woman's column of the morning
newspaper. "
He will tell you how to induce
the cook to get up a half hour too
early-instead Of the usual hour
too late: how to make the laun-
dress stop burning the ironing
board. how to get 10 hours work
out Of a four-hour charwoman,
and how to get ALL your house
work done in half an hour-and
thus have the rest of the day for
manicuring your fihgernails. Isn't
it WONDERFUL.
And, Of course. you COULD
breeze into, his office, some day,
and tell him how to make one
stenograp pher do the work of two,
by cutting out her holidays and
lunch hour; and how to make the
chief clerk dust the desks and
empty the waste baskets; and how
to make the charwoman do the
filing and the janitor keep the
books-just as a favor. Oh, yes,

How long before you are going

friendship?
You think this attitude would
take all the joy out of life?
You are mistaken.
If you expect nothing you are
never disappointed.
II you expect little, you do not
interpret little things to mean
more than they are intended to
