SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis z. Bisch-

TUE liver is the largest organ
L Of the body and it may be-
come subject to several diseases.
It is situated under the ribs
on the right side in front. Some
of it lies on the left side. It's
lowest edge should not project
beyond the lowest border Of
the lowest rib.
It is from 10 to IL inches
from side to side. six or seven
inches from front to back,
about three inches thick. It
weighs from so to so ounces.
The liver is a most important
organ. It has five parts OF
lobes and there are five nga-
mentS which hold it in place.
In many ways the liver is the
most marvellous chemical labo~
ratory in the body, its three
chief functions being the secre-
ton Of the bile. the formation
of glycogen and the formation
Of urea.
It is the complicated chem
istry Of the liver as well as its
structure which plays an i'm
portant part in liver diseases.
The more complicated an organ
the more apt it Is to get out
Of order.
Bile is a golden-brown or q
greenish fluid Secreted by the
liver cells. About SO ounces
are Secreted each "a hours. On
account of it's amount it is
stored up in the gall bladder,
situated on the under surface
Of the liver, until it is needed.
Bile is a most important ele-
ment in the digestion Of food.
It helps to digest fats, it is sup
posed to act as an antiSeptic
and it is mildly laxative because
1t stimulates the movement Of
the intestineS.
The glycogenic function Of
the liver is an interesting one.
In this the portal vein aids,
since it carries blood to the liver
cells. Blood carries what is known
as dextrose, and this is derived
as dextrose, and this is derived
from the carbohydrates-that
is, the starcheS and sugars,
which are taken in as a con-
Stituent Of the food eaten.
This glycogen is held in the
liver for use when the body
needs it. The system draws on
enough dextrose for its needs,
the liver for glycogen when the
food eaten does not contain
enough dextrose for its needs.
Then, of course, the dextrose,
which was converted into gly-
cogen, is changed back again
into dextroSe, an unusual and
very remarkable chemical pro-
cedure.
The formation of urea is an
other chemical marvel OF which
the liver is capable.
All protein when digested and
assimilated and burned" one
might say, for body energy, will
have as it's final product GER
tain amount of urea. This Is a
waste product. 1t circulates in
the blood until it reaches the
kidneys, which eXcrete the urea.
AS stated above, many dis
orders of the liver may occur.
Most of. them have to do with
the increase in the connective
tissue, the supporting frame
work, of the liver. Such in
crease of connective tissue is
spoken of as cirrhoSiS. 1t is q
kind of hardening of the liver.

How John Joy Edison
Made the Water Flow
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The account Of the honors paid Mr..
John Joy Edison by the Board Of Trade
brings to mind a characteristic incl
dent in which he figured that, to my
mind, should not go unrecorded. A
number Of years ago 1t was my for
tune to be one Of q small party, In
GLIDING Mr.. Edison, spending a To-day
outing In o camp on one of the Range
ley Lakes. On taking a morning stroll
with him along one of the roads that
ran by the camp, we came upon one of
those watering places common in cbun-
try districts, consisting of q half hogs
head sunk In the ground, fed by q split
log trough running back through a
fence to a spring in the woods behind.
AS Is often the case, the trough was
choked with moss and dead leaves, so
that the water barely trickled through.
Every other one of the party had, doubt
less, passed there time and again with
out giving second thought to the sit
uation. Not so, however, with my friend
Edison. There was a public utility that
was not functioning properly, and IL
was contrary to his disposition and
habit to pass by unheeding. So in q
minute or so each had his coat off,
for very shame's sake-and In q short
time the trough was cleared and the
water flowing unhindered into the bar
rel. 1t Is evident from the record that
incidents such as this have marked his
pathway all along. Long life to him,

with less water and other volatile con-
tent, such as anthracite coal and the
harder grades Of bituminous. Conden-

caused by air currents through the
chimney. Warm, moisture laden air
may enter the chimney, such as through

on HMM fact, she put several over on
him.
The playwright wrote him down an
ass, and the audiences must be content
so to let him remain. The poor chap
however, had to be a triple-plated fool
to fail to get on to the shenanigans
going on in his house.
In one of the old French plays there
is the following stage direction for a
miser: Leans against post and be-
comes generous"
Our poor fellow, under the egotism
produced by becoming q father. sud-
denly blossoms into q Napoleon Of
finance.
Well, some men do-especially in
plays.
What we can't quite swallow, how
ever, is that doctor friend.
The Theater Guild production had q
peculiarly good doctor.
When he came Striding into the IL
brary for the first time he was the mar
he ought to have remained-a man who
was so intent on his career that he re-
fused more than one kiss to the ever
kissing Nina.
That doctor was a great guy, and
everybody who saw the darn play says
the same thing.
That doctor was the one man picked
out by Fate to tell Nina where to 0et
of. But Eugene ONeill, who rather
specialized In wrecking the usual, made
him fall for her, too.
The prerogative of q playwright Is tc
make his characters do as he pleaSes
which, Of course, Is as he thinks they
would do.
That doctor, however, would never
have trailed around after q pathological
case for IL years. to be scorned by his
own child, and finally to be slapped ir
the face by the same.
No man, doctor or saint, would ACT
So-eXcept in play. And we say this
with all the good will in the world fol
Strange Interlude.''
Whatever one may think of it, he
must admit that he has seen some
thing. This attitude, however, need moi
prevent him from placing his own
knowledge of life alongside that of the
playwTight'S.
The main lady of this obese PLAY
might have intrigued the doctor for 8
few intrigues, coming and going, but
that he would have wrecked his career
for her or kept on loving her after his
passion had spent its novel force is an

pens we would have only our world Of

the beautiful weaknesses and leave
them for the better women of this oul
mundane life Cor maybe other villain
eSSes).
The playwright (and we speak only o.
the so-called serious drama) gives us
life raw, with the lid off, or at least
enough on so that we can see the sim.
mertng that goes on within.

Whence the overpowering love shown
In plays by men for bad women?
This question was aroused by our
hrst-and last-Sight Of that master
piece of the clinical drama, ONeill's
Strange Interlude."
We feel sorry for poor ONeill.
No wonder he went to China.
A man must hate womankind with a
deep and utter hatred to produce such
flow Of acts.
Nine acts! Why, it was Just like a
base ball game, with the vivid and over
sexed Nina Slamming out a home run
in every session.
But the play is not the thing, here
and now. We are concerned only with our
/ question of the moment and its an
swer, in so far as we can answer it,
Why do plays always give us a select
circle OF man friends in full pursuit of
some charming femaleP
| X X 4
Surely the answer to this subuues-
ton must be that playwrights do 1t
because the situation Is interesting.
This gets us back to our main In
quiry-why the menfolk love them so
| terribly, and, above all, so consistently?
Take the abominable Nina.
Here was woman with f1Xation
or whatever the psychiatrists call 1t, as
certain a case Of abnormal psychology
as ever appeared In play, novel or medi-
cal case book.
She ran through one gentleman after
another like suds through the clothes
in washing machine.
Three OF them, however, persisted in
loving her.
And we persist in asking:
Why?
And would they-in any place besides
play?
Here was a woman Of no particular
charm. as far as the audience could see,
and, above all, blighted by a subtle
inner disease of the mind, soul, psyche,
OF which most men are instinctively
afraid.
She was bad case of ingroWn self
iShnesS, concentrated in thwarted phys
ical desire, a victim herself and making
every one with whom she came in con-
tact a victim.
One of her three "steadies" was a
dreamer, and loved her because he made
dream out Of her. He may be for
given.
Even he, however. was by no means a
fool, although the author rather thought
he was at times, and tried to make the
audience think he was, too.
That man-any man-could have
kept on loving the lady after the way
she carried on we do not believe posi-
ble-off the stage.
On the stage they moon over lost
loves, but In real life they are more
inclined to be of the sentiment Of the
old poet who sang IF her love be not
for me, what care how fair she be?"

This thing Of a whole pack Of men
lalligagging around a married mans
house is another stage gag. Perhaps
there is something In the situation

Of Autumn.
