Your Health and Diet

: of those Americans who had
never been west of Albany.
A Canadian physician, going
through the medical wards Of
a hospital in my city a few
years ago, turned with the
puzzled query, But where are
your cases of rheumatism" A
few months later I understood
his puzzlement when I visited
his own hospital in Canada
and found nearly every other
bed filled with a patient with
acute articular rheumatism.
Acute Rheumatism
It is well to ponder over
those last three words. We are
not speaking of all the many
ailments which pass by the
generic name of rheumatism.
None of the chronic bone or
joint Affections. This form of
rheuInatism-the only one per.
haps to which the name should
be applied-is acute. 1t is al
ways accompanied by a fever.
One joint after another swells
up, is red and painful. In a
few days the inflammation
there subsidies, so that a wrist
may be inflamed on Monday,
be entirely normal by Wednes-
day, but on Thursday the
opposite ankle is affected.
Other names for it besides
acute articular rheumatism,
are rheumatic fever and inflam-
matory rheumatism.
The disease is particularly
likely to attack children, and
often with few or insignificant
joint manifestations. Here the
most severe damage is done to
the heart.

An important feature of the
game is knowing the relative
values Of games and penalties;
when to overbid to save game;
when scoring penalties will pay
better than going game or rub
Der. For practical purposes
consider an average rubber
worth 1000 points. A game is
half a rubber, or approximately
worth 500 points, whether first,
second or rubber game. When
you start a rubber. you have 2
in 4 chances of winning the
rubber; that is your equity in
the rubber is 500 points. II
you wiz the first game your
chance; to win the rubber have
increased to 3 in 4; your
equity has increased by $50
points, and you have assured
yourself of saving 200 points,
becauTe a three-game rubber
awards the winner only 500
points premium, instead of the
700 points premium of winning
a love rubber.
At almost any stage of the
rubber you can better afford
being penalized 400 points than
allow opponents to win a game.
You had better accept 600
points penalty than win either
the first or second game, but
prefer winning the rubber to
penalizing opponents anything
Short of 1000 points.

If you haven't bought a cor

take our word that you've never
looked your best. It's not that
corset styles have changed so
much-it's all in the new ma

what a corset'S made of plays
the biggest part of all in how
it fits.
Advantages Not Known Before
You'll understand the differ
ence between the old and the
new, once you try on any of
the models sketched above. Not
one of them costs more than
$10-one atgood deal less-and
any one will mold the figure
perfectly to the contour dresses
need this season. And from
the freedom you'll have in
moving, you'd think you were
wearing only lingerie. That's
just how light and supple these
new materials are-at the same
time strong enough to far out
last any foundation garm ent
you have ever worn. And there
are other qualities besides, that
corsets haven't had before. Just

things about them we discov-
cred in. the stores this week.

Rheumatism has a fine viii

most treacherous of all afflic-
tions, because it causes death,
but not at the time it first af-
fects the body, but years after
ward. The actual attack is sell
dom dangerous. But 20 or 80
years afterward the victim be-
gins to develop signs of heart
disease, and it is found that the
original attack of rheumatism
affected the heart before it left
the patient.
Rheumatism, indeed, does no
permanent harm to the joints.

The disease is definitely asso-

It is almost completely winter

A Regional Disease
It is also regional in its dis

the South are almost entirely

A Weekend Trip

A Weekend Trip
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
We, my girl friend and I,
and two young men we go
about with are going away for
a weekend. These young men
have already made reservations,
as a surprise to us, and every
thing is set so far as they are
concerned.
However, as we have never
t-ken trips with our friends
previously, other than day trips,
we would appreciate your adVis-
ing us just what part of this
expense we should bear.
We two, aged 81.
More important than this,
d : gi Is, is the question as to
whether or not you really
should take this trip. Is some
older person going with you,
or married couple? If not,
thc1 nf course you cannot go
and escape criticism. Have you
talked it over with your par
ats?
# there is to be a chaperon,
then it will be all right to plan
this trip, and in this case it
would be best for each Of you
to pay your own way.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FA1ECFAA:
During the summer I met a
nice young man who is away
for his health and, for this
reason he could not join in all
the fun and therefore our
acquaintance was limited. On
my return I wrote him a
friendly letter cheering him up
and hoping he was better. This
he, did not answer. Do you
think did the proper thing
or could have offended him
by writing? I would love to
continue our acquaintance.
What would you suggest?
PUZZLED.
When a person is i'll all the
rules of convention are relaxed.
It was very kind Of you to
write to the young man.
Try to cheer him up. At the
same time there may >ha7e
been a good many reasons
why he could not answer your
letter. Letter writing may have
been prohibited by his doctor.
Again, he may have felt thai
his health debarred him from
continuing a friendship with
a girl. Making due allowance
for his invalidism, it would be
only friendly for you to write
him a letter or send him a
book or magazine. Sick Eeople
are always pleased with these
little attentions, even if circum'
stances prevent them from &c
knowledging them.
