TOdGy's True
Story

Every one admitted that
Celia Watkins was the best
looking girl in the crowd that
called itself the socially elect
Of TillSdale. That consensus Of
opinion included all the young
men in town and particularly
Carl Plesser. He had long re-
garded her as the one girl in
whom he would be willing to
take a life interest.
But Celia was not so positive.
She liked Carl-she knew all
about him-she knew his family
and she knew he would get on
in the world although she had
money Of her own.
But she had so many admir-.
ers that she could not pin her.
self down to accepting the at
tentions OF one only, and as
for marriage, she refused some
young man on an average of
once every fortnight. Most of
them were willing to take mo"
for an answer, but not Carl.
Come to think of it he had
been asking her to become Mrs.
Plesser for three years-ever
since she was 18. .
She expected it from him and
Carl never disappointed her.
She was, however, a little sur

DIET AND HEALTH
By Dr.. Logan CIendening.

ever it ate wheat bread an
attack of asthma occurred.
The wheat apparently stimu-
lated the automatic nervous
system and threw the muscles
around the air tubes into spasm.
Many kinds Of foods were found
which caused this Sensit1vity.
The results Of treatment-by
withdrawing the offending food
from the diet-along this line
have recently been summarized.
Fifteen years Of experience!
Different physicians differ in
their reports. Some say that
they relieve 80 per cent 0f their
asthma cases in children. some
that they relieve only 40 per
cent. The reason for this dis
crepancy is probably that all
the cases are not followed
closely: a child is dismissed aS
cured and so marked oa the
physicians record; then another
attack occurs and the child is,
taken to another physician, the
first doctor never knowing that
the asthma has recurred. It Is
certain the higher percentages
of cures reported are wrOag.
About so per cenC Of children
with asthma are relieved On the
food sensitivity theory.
Recently DrS. PeShkin and
Ffneman have reported good re-
suits in the uncured group with
q diet high in fats. This is the
so-called ketogenic diet, because
the decrease in Starches and in
crease in fats induces the occur
renee of ketone or acid bodies
in the blood.
The diet is as follows:
Breakfast: One-half an
orange, l cracker, l glass milk
Dinner. One cup broth, ~
cup vegetables Is per cent carbo.
hydrate content, / square Of
butter, / glass Of milk.
Sd. M: Glass Of milk.
Supper: One cup broth, "
package cream cheese, " cup
vegetables Is per cent?, ia
squares butter, / glass milk, "
glass cream (rich), l cracker.
There are 1900 calories IN
this diet, enough for a child OF
so to so pounds. After a few
days trial, a half glass Of cream
can be added to the breakfast,
one-third cup fish or chicken to
the dinner or supper menu.
If no improvement is noticed
after three weeks trial. the diet
should be discontinued.

Asthma is found more often
in children than in adults. It
often lasts from childhood
through adult life. Quite as
often a child will "outgrow the
asthma" as the saying is.
Asthma comes on in par
oxysms. During the paroxysm
the breath seems almost shut
off. It is known now what
occurs to the afflicted person.
There are muscular bands
around the smaller air tubes in
the lung. During the asthma
tic paro1Vsm these muscles go
into spasm and shut off the air
tubes or greatly diminish their
caliber. This causes the diff
cult breathing. Usually the
asthmatic experiences more diff
ficulty in getting the air out
of the lungs than in drawing 1t
in.
What causes the muscles to
90 into spasm? These muscles
are of the smooth or involun-
tary kind: they are not under
control of the will, but under
the control Of the automatic
nervous system. Some stimulus
must affect the automatic ner-
vous system which causes 1t
to construct these little muscles
around the air tubes.
About Is years ago, cases OF
asthma brought on by particu-
lar foods began to be reported.
Thus a child was found to be
sensitive to wheat bread; when

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, February l.
That many hundreds of welded cou-
pies in Arkansas and Tennessee may not
be legally married was revealed today
in an audit of Crittenden County af-
fairs filed with the county clerk at
Marion by State Controller Howard
Reed.
1t was alleged in the report that Jus
tice A. L. Newman, sometimes called
the marrying squire of Marion" has
been issuing marriage licenses under
the authority of a county clerk who
went out of Office IL months ago.
Auditors, who attempted to check the
books of the justice, were informed that
previous records were lost, Reed said.
During last December. 1884 licenses
were issued at Marion, most of them
to Tennessee couples who sought to
evade the Tennessee law requiring five
days notice of intention to marry.
Authorities informed State Controller
Reed that couples welded under Ii
censes issued within the last IL months
over the signature Of eX-Clerk John H.
Nance, must take out new licenses and

The resolution the archbishop will

the concurrence of the whole body Of
bishops.
ut is a. fundamental principle that
the church-that is, the bishops with the

as to their social relations with persons
divorced by the state courts and con-
