MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

WOman's Bad Memory,
LIVERY now and then some wo-
II man carelessly shoots her hus-
band-and then promptly forgets
all about it. 1t JUST slips her
mind!
And when she finds herself be-
fore a jury, she "can't remember
q thing that happened"
Women should carry memoran-
dunn pads around with them, and
jot such things down. Shooting a
husband may be all in the days
work, but these little things. are
apt to come up later.
Mems memories have ALWAYS
been independable. They begin
forgetting right at the altar! If
you ask a man, 10 minutes after
the wedding ceremony. just what
he had promised a woman, he
probably couldn't remember his
wedding vows. A man can kiss
his wife good-by, after breakfast,
and Immediately forget her ex-
istence the moment a flapper
catches his eye.
This does not imply that a man
has a BAD memory. Oh, no, he
has a GOOD memory nice.
tame. well.trained memory that
never reminds him of anything he
wants fn fOrgefi
It is woman's memory that has
always been a torment, both to
herself and to men. II rides her
like the Old Man Of the Sea, and
never let's her forget ANYTHING
"a mistake, an injury or a mans
faults.
The poet has said that "mem-
ory is the perfume of life;" but, in
a mans opinion, lots of women's
memories are more like castor oil
than like roses.
Years after he has done some
thing ultra foolish, she can close
her eyes, conjure up the embar.
RAISING scene, and blush down to
her toes.
Long after she has married an
other man the sound of a street
organ grinding out an old tune or
the fragrance of hlacs will watt
her back to a lost April and the
romance that went blah-or the
man who got away.
Somehow, it seems to be always
the uncomfortable things that a
woman remembers longest-the
quarrels. the misunderstanding,
the painful things. That is what
tries a mans soul.
At any moment she can dig
down into her hope chest full of
memories and bring out an old
grievance with which to refute
a mans argument and make him
sorry he spoke.
She can wreck his most virtuous
pose by reminding him Of all the
beautiful resolutions he made and
broke year before LAST.

the middle of a kiss, by reminding
him that it's the first time he's
kissed her that way, in weeks. Or
that he promiI d her q new fur

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

PRACTICALLY nobody exists
l. who is not occasionally
troubled with constipation. And
there are those who suffer con-
tinually from this trouble.
In letters which readers send to
me am often asked how a condi-
ton of chronic costiveness may
be overcome.
Let it be said at the outset that,
although general rules may be laid
down, a study of individual cases
is often necessary.
For example, it is a well.known
fact that the diet of every person
should contain a certain amount
Of coarse, bulky food. which is
really indigestible. but which
offers something for the muscles
Of the intestines to work on, and
therefore promotes general elimi-
nation.
Yet, too coarse a diet may actu.
ally promote constipation. In
other words, there is too much
bulk in the intestines and too
much residue is certain to be left
behind.
Unsystematic habits, often
formed in childhood, probably are
as much to blame for sluggish
bowels as anything.
In obesity weak abdominal mus
cles may be a cause.
nfkArn g. IL
inherited.
Not enough exercise, in those
leading a sedentary life, has much
to do with inactivity of the in
testinal tract. Office workers,
particularly those who sit at q
desk all day, are frequently so af-
fected.
Functional nerve disorders al.
most always carry with them the
symptoms of constipation.
And, of course, there may be
disease of the liver, the stomach
or the intestines which is respon-
sible.
The reaction to constipation
varies greatly in different indi-
viduals.
Some experience headache, las
situde, loss of appetite and initia.
tive, even depression, when a day
goes by without proper elimina.
ton. Others are not so affected
at all.
Aside from unpleasant sensa.
tions, however, and the danger of
weakening the system generally
through self.poisoning, = chronic
costiveness may produce piles and
ulcerations of the colon, or lower
part of the intestines.
To avoid constipation the fol.
lowing food should be eaten very
sparingly: Eggs; potted, pre-
served, smoked or salt meats and
fish: rice and sago puddings, all
kinds Of pastry, new bread,
sweets, milk, cheese, nuts,
spurious liquors.
A diet which is light and con.
tanning lots of fruits and yege-
tables, salads and tomatoes is
helpful.
Oatmeal is laxative to some in.
dividuals.
The regular taking Of drugs is
to be avoided. But If they are
used they should be mild.
The same may be said Of the
enema habit. Often the influx of
a large quantity of water dis.
tends the colon and weakens it.
Occasional high colonic irriga.
tions are helpful when admins.

Glycerine suppositories often are

The last Christmas letter and package in the Post Office. up to Il o'clock last night is now aboard the steamer Queen enroute to des- tination. The force at the Post Office which put in several days and nights practically with only a few hours sleep now has time @ take long breaths.
 Some idea of the work at the Post Office can be seen by the fact that last Monday there was dis patched on the Seattle -boun q steamer 17,000 letters and over 2,OO0 Christmas packages.

HUNTER FOUND AT DOTY COvE;
 BROUGHT HERE
Relief Party Finds Missing Hunter-Lived on
 Meat Diet

Harry Hehrkorn, overdue here from a hunting trip since early this month, was found yesterday at Dotys Cove and brought to town today. The relief party comprised of Glenn Oakes and Johnny Harris made the rescue yesterday morning. The two men made the trip on the Pheasant, Capt Bert Maycock.
 Nehrkorn was weakened by ex- posture and lack of proper food but otherwise was in good health. For the past two weeks he had been living off straight meat diet, con- sisting of ducks and deer
 MT Oakes left here with the re- lief expedition Tuesday morning. It was found impossible to cross Taku Inlet and Capt. Maycock took the Pheasant into Oliver Inlet late that afternoon. Early Wednesday morn ing Oakes and Harris mushed from there to Doty's Cove where they found Nehrkorn. As previously ar ranged with Capt Maycock, they awaited his arrival with the Pheas- ant. The boat succeeded in cross ing Taku Inlet shortly after noon yesterday and last night went to Taku Harbor. Today it succeeded in coming on here, arriving shortly before pm.
 Nehrkorn left here November 26 in a small boat powered with an outboard motor and made the trip to Doty's Cove without mishap. He had provisions for about week. After these were exhausted he suc- ceeded in killing two ducks which was all he and his dog had for sev- eral days. Later he bagged a faWn and this furnished him and his dog with food until the rescue. Stormy weather made it impossible to use his small craft and kept him ashore.
