from the same angle. Martha
has never realized that. She
has done her best for her chill

determining that best. She has
never tried to see life from

No, indeed. But it's amazing
how our ideas of right and

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

Look at Her and Listen to Him!
IN love, most women are look
L ing for devotion-moSt men
for diversion. That's how the
wires get crossed.
Love Is a sort Of divine
ecstasy. which gilds the hard
drab facts of life. and tintS
them to match your illusions.
Religion is what a man some
times practices on Sunday morn
ings-when it is too cold or
too rainy to play golf.
Somehow, the average woman
just can't refrain from remind
ing a man Of his promises, his
predictions, his obligations and
his rubbers. It's only a little
thing-but so is a mosquito.
The average man has a deep
dyed suspicion that, when
woman complains that she is
all tired out from the house
cleaning, she is just trying to
get into the limelight by play
ing on his Sympathies. He sim.
ply cannot believe that any
house can't be cleaned by
running a straw through it and
blowing out the dust.
To be popular in this world,
all you need to remember is
that every woman loves to be
looked at and every man loves
to be listened to.
Telling a girl that she is
Irresistible" is a mans subtle
little way of throwing all the
responsibility for the kiss on
the shoulder he is kissing.
A man is so inconsistent that
he will marry a girl because she
is like putty in his hands
and then complain to heaven
because she sticks to him like
chewing gum.
The girl who used to whisper
scornfully. THAT woman
PA1NTS!" now has a daughter
who uses three kinds of rouge
and feels positively "unclad"
without her lipStick.
No woman can quite under
stand that aboriginal thrill she
feels when man stops trying
to pacify her-and gets good
and wrathy!

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-Rx Dr. L0nis Z. RiSch.

7 EUKEMIA is a curious dis
ease. 1t is also a very Sc
riouS disease. In leukemia there
is an increase Of the white
blood corpuscles and changes
take place in the marrow of
the bone and spleen.
The disease is not uncommon
in the United States. It may
attack the very young or the
aged, but most of the cases
are in middle life. Men seem
more prone to it than women.
Leukemia usually begins very
slowly and gradually and the
patient is unSuspecting.
Although such patients may
look well, anemia and an ema-
ciated appearance are usual &C
compartments.
Dropsy may be a first sign
which attracts the persons at
tention. In such cases the abdo-
men gradually increases in size
and Shortness of breath is
noted.
Sometimes repeated bleeding
from the nose is an early Symp-
tom. Sometimes there are re-
peated attacks OF digestive
trouble.
Early diagnosis of this dis
ease is essential, so that the
very best medical care may be
given.
Particularly is this true Of
leukemia, for recovery is rare
but should be hoped for. In
fact. the disease varies a great
deal in different individuals
and improvement may often re-
suit for months at a stretch.
The final diagnosis Of this
condition is always made by an
examination Of the blood.
AS the disease advances, how
ever. the pallor OF the skin is
very noticeable.
So far as treatment goes. rest
is the most important factor.
This is to conserve the strength
of the patient because the blood
is really impoverished. due to
the large number of white cor
puScles and the relative de-
crease Of the red blood cor
puSleS.
Blood normally has fewer
white corpuscleS than red noes,
the proportion being about one
white cell to 400 red ones. In
some cases of leukemia the pro-
portion of white to red may be
as high as one white to 10 reds.
There have been instances. in
deed, when the white corpuScles
actually exceeded the red ones.
In a cubic millimeter of nor
NAL blood there are approx
mately five million red cor
puscles and seven thousand
white cells.
White blood corpuScles pos
sess an unusual property in that
they can move spontaneously
by So-called ''amo0boid" move
ment. This is accomplished by
pushing out a part of the cell.

virtue IN a mother?
My guess is IMAGINATION.
Love, tenderness. patience,

ties are essential in q mother
and nearly all mothers have
them. But a mother might
possess all these virtues and
still be a failure is she lacked
IMAGINATION.
And therein lies tragedy. For
so many mothers do lack i'm.
agination-lack even the abil-
ity to recognize the fact that
imagination is needed IN FAM

more than any other place on
earth. For there's nothing
harder to stand than living
close to folk who don't under
