PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.

grownups. There is no debating The
fact that tobacco is injurious to a
youth.
Let me quote a paragraph from a
recent report on study of the COM
position of cigarette smoke by DR.. Emil
Bogen of Cincinnati:
Under ordinary conditions, many
competent observers have failed to note
any deleteriouS effects whatever from
the use of cigarettes. Certain condi-
lions, however have been so frequently
associated with the practice of smoking
that the casual connection seems indiS-
putable. Cardiac arrythmias, shortness
of breath, thrombo- angiities obltterans,
nicotine amblyopia and chronic infam-
nations of the upper respiratory pas
sages are familiar examples
Cardiac arrythmias are irregularities
of heart action; thrombo angiitis oblit-
Grams is a type of painful gangrene OF
the feet found in excessive cigarette
smokers; nicotine amblyopia is partial
blindness attributable to chronic to-
bacco poisoning.
Here's a good test for any smoker
who would like to check the effect OF
the tobacco on his heart: A normal
man or woman ought to be able to run
a mile, putting. of course, but running
all the way If you have to break into
a walk or even stop to get FOUR breath,
your heart is not normal.
Dr. Bogen concludes that 81 sound
individual NAV bear what is for him
moderate doses without injury, but
even these are often noxious for the I'm
sound or for other sound individuals
But the immoderate use of tobacco
brings on series of disturbances which
are at first functional, then organic
and of which some are not without
gravity"
My own arbitrary rule is that tenn
perate smoking means not more than
three smokes in q day. It also means
that the smoker does not require a
smoke in work or play hours but is
content to enjoy his daily smoke after
,he days work or play is over.

In 1887 Marie Antoinette had become
so unpopular that her portrait could
not be shown at the annual exhibition
of pictures in Paris. Her interference
in politics led to a climax on october
5, 1889, when a Paris mob marched to
Versailles shrieking threats against her.
"They have come for my head" said
Marie, but I have learned from my
mother not to fear death and shall
face it with firmness."
She never knew another happy day.
In this hour of evil portent, it was
she who tried to rally the spirit of the
Kings ministers.
IT am not afraid of dying" she told
them, but only wish the murdererS
would declare themselves"
Rifle shots, breaking the window
paneS, struck the wall close by the
Queen. M. de la Luzerne sought to pro-
tect her with his body. She beckoned
him away and when he pretended not
to see her, said, 81 thank you, but
will not allow you to remain here. 1t
is not your place, it is mine"
Shouts arose from outside: I'VE wish
to see the King! We wish to see the
Queenl"
Marie, with her little children, step
ped out on a balcony, declaring

dren! No children!" So she sent them
back in and stood alone.
The royal family was taken to Paris
and lodged in the Tuileries. Marie
Antoinette from then on was the steady
target of insults and indignities. But
she ever played the great woman and
the queen.
In the spring of 1870 an attack on
the Tuileries was expected. Hearing
stray shots, Louis XVI hurried to the
Queens room. She was not there, but
he found her In the dauphin's apart
ment, with the child in her arms.
II was alarmed for you," said the
King.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.

I had ridden in autos long time
before l discovered that the comfort one
enjoyed Is due as much to the Snubbers
as the cushions. These Snubbers, which
are somewhere or other on a car, are
really shock abSorbers, although I like
the snubby name better.
guess you see what or where I'm
driving in this particular car today, be-
cause the modern girl has to bump as
many bumps as the average car, and
she gets the same number of shocks in
her springs If she uses her Snubbers,
she'll be able to avoid the shocks which
come her way.
Women are no longer the domestic
animals of the Home Sweet Home
period of our nations history. No, for
they are out in the world and on the
job They rub elbows with men on the
way to work and get shock, at times
from some man who is hardly a live
wire.
There's where a girl needs to use her
snubbers to avoid the shock and get
her over the bump. A man can endure
Scolding on moral grounds, for he
likes to think that he is looked upon
as a trifle wicked, but a snubbing is
something different 1t hits his vanity
which is more vulnerable than his con-
science and leaves him fiat.

the form of stare. return it; but when
he looks at your face, direct your gaze
at his feet. The act of looking down
upon him as represented by the angle
of your glance will prove a protective
way of getting his goat, especially if his
shoes have as little polish as his per-
sonality.
Don't preach to a man who is in a
philandering mood but punish him
with a barbed wire glance, for your
eyes are pretty good SnubberS in an
emergency. You may lower your eye
lids in modeSty, but if that doesn't
work, you Shold raise your eyebrows
in Scorn.
The fresh guy with the car who
offers you a ride can be snubbed by you
If you ask him for his chauffeurs
license. The stranger who approaches
you along the line of eats when you
are out for lunch gets shock coming
his way when you act as though he was
a waiter.
Man is as vulnerable on the side of
vanity as Achilles was on his heel. If
your Snubbers are working we'll you
can make him look ridiculous and that
is fatal to his pride.
The genuine girl is friendly enough
and not at all prudish, but she has a
given amount of self-respect to save
and she can do this best by the use of
snubbers.
We have all sorts of accessories to
our cars nowadayS-mudguard speed
ometerS, SnubberS and the like. If
you want TO avoid shocks to your per-
sonality, be sure to have your snubberS
in good working order.

Boys Were Pulled Up.

Here's pretty how-de-do:
Dear doctor: am an old man, and
have never used tobacco in any FORM
but have three boys who acquired the
habit with the rest of their high school
education and are all trying to smoke
their heads of.
One day they took me on a visit
to Bedloe's Island to see the Statue Of
Liberty. It was a Sunday and The
elevator was not running. 1 wanted to
go 10 the top. but the boys said, oh,
no, father, 1t is altogether too much of
a climb for you' l replied, forget that
noise-lets 60
so we went up-and up-and up
until we reached the point where we
could look upon the world through her
eyes. When we arrived there the boys
were out of breath and putting quite
hard; my breathing was quite normal.
Now, my sons sezzi I don't want
to rub it in, but 1 really think you
boys ought to see what TOBACCO has
done for you
Did do right? c. S. s."
Certainly you did right, sir From
the tone Of your letter I know you said
it in friendly way, as a pal of the
boys. Your mistake, if any, was in per-
uniting the boys to take up the to-
bacco habit when they were of high
school sge.
There is ground for debate. among
the doctors, about the effect of moder-
ate or temperate use of tobacco for

youth, even the charming awkward
angles of youth have been covered with
a thick, middle-aged looking layer of
fat. You must fight to keep 1t off.
Can you do these things?
Refuse steadily to eat chocolates or
candy in any form between meals CT
during them. Those tempting silver and
glass dishes in the center of dinner
table, filled with chocolates, mints
candied violets and sailed nuts, will
ruin any figure inclined to stoutness.
Do without much of your breakfast
You can save SO much on your daily
food allowance that way, and if you
are overweight it is healthier to start
the day with light meal Take tea
or coffee with hot milk and almost TO
sugar, and either glass of orange juice
or else one slice Of toast with the
merest suggestion Of butter. After
few days you will not miss breakfast
indeed you'll feel much better for the
light meal.
Take lots of clear soups, avoid pota-
toes, thick soups, rich desserts, cakes,
ice cream, cream and butter. Or take
but very little butter. And eat none
of the fat parts of meat, and no pork,
bacon nor ham.

have already left your hair If the gray
ones are showing now, so the henna

same. Using henna will not prevent
you from having any kind of waving

Nellie M. K: If you use cream
made from fine grade of oil it will
not increase the tendency to grow hair
This is the only method that will
counteract the dryness you complain
Of If you feel you cannot use a
cream, then give more attention to
your skin and try to stimulate bet
ter circulation under it, as that will
improve the natural secretions. Very
cold water as a final rinse after bath
ing, or better still, an ice rub; also
full bath all over every day. concluded
with cold shower, will be helpful.

Faulty Terraces.

Hot weather shows up lawns for what
they are. Grass plots which remain
green and succulent looking now indi-
cate a proper making and care, where
as thin and lifeless grass shows a lack
of both.
In no situation does grass show for
better or worse than on terraces. What
ever one may think of the terrace, as a
landscape proposition, there are thou-
sands of them in and around Washing
ton.
1t Is true, too, that there are too
many ugly-looking terraces to be seen
for the total effect of beauty which the
National Capital claims. An individual
home owner may permit his terrace to
become mere mud bank without
danger to his immortal SOUL but it is
questionable whether his city escapes.
The play Of small children often is
responsible for such conditions, with
mud flowing down over sidewalks, not
only rendering a community untidy,
giving 1t run down appearance, but
to that extent hurting the beauty of the
entire city.
1t is plain to any one who thinks Of
the matter that the ill-kept terrace,
being on the more or less vertical plane,
Is more in the eye of paSsersby than
the horizontal lawn. Mud in a lawn,
while reprehensible, is much less so
than a terrace so disfigured.
