THE MARRY
GO-ROUND

White Chips In the Love Game
4 KISS used to be the jack.
"A pot In woman's game Of
love: now 1t is merely a little
white chip Of no particular
value.
When q woman loses faith in
men her life may be spoiled:
but it is not utterly wrecked
until she loses her faith in
beauty creams, plastic surgeons
and her last reducing diet.
A woman can forgive a man
for almost anything except
that "You owe it to yourself-to-
kiss-lne" manner with which he
sometimes bestows his favor
upon her.
A man often goes back to
his wife, just as a woman goes
back to mother"-for consola-
ton, relief and moral support.
Men used to stand in a bar.

place like home!" Now they 60

cellar" and no "Speakeasy"
like the average American
home"
Theoretically. a man may ad-
mire a "queenly woman" but
he will walk all the way around
a throne any day to find a lit

foot-stool and look UP at him
admiringly. .>
In the modern play 1t is al.
ways the villain who makes
love artiStically, while the hero
just grabs the girl and blurts It
out-or has to have 1t drag
ged out Of him. Is love-making
becoming such a "villainous"
thing that it's beneath the no.
tice Of q really good man?
Every man is entitled to his
Indian summer fling-proVided
he doesn't mistake it for the re.
turn Of spring.
The age Of discretion is that
placid point at which a woman
can control her temper, resist
an exciting Irritation, or refuse
a sweet just by remembering
that such things are bad for
her.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
.Ry D.. IOuis &. Risch.

MANY persons suffer from
W1 digestive disturbances Of
one form or another. There are
those who have pain after eat
ing, there are cases Of gas on
the stomach and so-caIled
heartburn" there are men and
women who get bilious attacks
every now and then.
The variety and severity Of
indigestion is great indeed.
An acute and occasional at
tack Of indigestion is usually
due to eating some food that
the functions Of the stomach
cann6t digest properly. We say
that the food did not agree"
with us.
often the drinking Of ice
water or too much Of 1t during
a meal will cause such an at
tack. Eating too fast and too
much is another cause. Eating
food, such as lobster or pork,
known to be difficult to digest
may be responsible. Eating when
overtired or nervously excited
can cause indigestion.
The best way to overcome an
acute attack Of Indigestion is to
induce vomiting. For this pur-
pose drinking q few glasses Of
warm salt water will help or
taking a glass of water to which
a tablespoonful of English MUS
tard has been added.
When the pain is acute due
to gas pressure upwards on the
dlaphragnl-the separation be-
tween the chest and the abdo-
men-essence Of peppermint in
a little water or~a teaspoonful
OF bicarbonste Of soda in a third
OF a .tumbler Of water often
gives immediate relief.
In all cases a cathartic should
be taken after the acute symp-
toms are over. A certain
amount Of undigested and Of
tending food particles has al
ready passed into the intestines
and these must be eliminated.
Two tablespoonfuls of castor
oil Is efficacious for this pur.
pose.
When attacks Of indigestion
occur again and again, perhaps
daily after each meal. we call 1t
q chronic case, even If there be
only mild discomfort. :
Soon such a person becomes
actually afraid to eat and, of
course. such a state of mind is
the very best to bring on a d.
gestive attack. In all chronic
cases the cause must be sought
and removed.
Lack Of exercise may be to
blame, or work, or too much
dancing and night-life gen
orally. Imperfect chewing of
the food is often q factor.
Missing teeth and general ma
locclusion--that Is, imperfeSt
fitting Of the upper jaw upon
the lower-is q frequent cause
but often overlooked.
Irregular eating and hurried
eating may soon produce chronic
indigestion. And the habit
Of men to discuss business af.
fairs while eating even read.
ing the paper while at meals
upsets the proper action of the
chemical constituents Of the
stomach.
BilliouSness Is often difficult
to overcome and the state of
the nervous system Is most
important faetor hsgs.
