During the coming year great

use tact and discretion in your

A woman writes me:

"A WO1A10A wA4OCO AA1Os
when I was a girl, growing
UP in my fathers house, the
family thought I had a gift for
music, which, in those days, was
almost the equivalent Of a Jail
sentence. We were kept at the
piano till we nearly dropped.
And most Of us gave up music
the moment it was possible.
MY best piece was that love
ly composition Of LiSZt'S, Con
solation,' and I expect I mur-
dered it and never thought
about what it meant. Consola-
tion-'to requite, to make
amends, to serve as an equiva-
lent for'-held no significance
for me; but the years have
taught me.
Husband UnfaithfuI
"I believe I was the happiest
woman in the world till three
years ago, when I discovered my
husband was unfaithful to me;
that he had been unfaithful for
q good many years. It seemed
at first as II I couldn't bear it.
Wild, primitive emotions-hate,
jealousy, vindictiveneSS - took
possession Of me; I wanted to
protest in some desperate act.
Something happened which
may seem foolish, sentimental,
even absurd to some women,
but it meant consolation to
me. Rummaying through an
old bureau drawer I found one
Of my older sons first little
ShoeS-Scuffed at the toe,
nlarred and rubbed with his
first stumbling attempts to
walk. Then vaguely it began
to dawn on me the meaning
Of that old composition USED
to play as a girl-'Consolation.'
Chi1d's COmpaniOnship
"The years had robbed me-
they had taken youth. beauty
but crueleSt Of all, they had
taken my husband. But some
things they could never take
the memory Of my chi1dren's
babyhood and my rapturously
happy companionship with
them. Their success In life
that perhaps had come from
the Self-reliance and character
I helped to build-my children
I still have and they have been
my consolation.
Now, in life's autumn, I have
learned to let the tides Of
memory sweep me back to
those happy days when this
older boy, graSping two fingers

summer night, breathing the

and makes the nose run so that
four or five handkerchiefs are
used up in the course Of the
evening. You can't blame them
for feeling aggrieved.
A Mysterious Change
Exactly what change occurs
in the cells nobody knows. No
body can even conceive of it as
clearly as a state of immunity
can be imagined. With i'm
munity to any disease after the
body has gone through an
attack of the disease, the body
cells are forever able to manu-
facture an antidote to the
germs Of the disease in the
future. But in the state of
Representatives, the cells
have been rendered more liable
to irritation and injury by the
certain substance.
Many different substances
cause this representative state.
Some people are sensitive to
certain foods. Others to animal
emanations-they get asthma
when near a horse or a cat. Hay
fever is the outstanding ex-
ample, but not the only ex-
ample of sensitiveness to plant
substances.
Her Difficult Task
Another example is primrose
eczema, or dermatitis. I knew
a woman patient who had tried
everything to get rid Of an
eczema on the hands and face.
Every time she left home on a
trip it disappeared. Every time
she returned home the eczema
returned. It was only cured
when a skin specialist went to
attend her at home instead Of
in his office and found her bed
room full of primroses in pots.
He chucked them all out the
window, and his patient never
had eczema again.

: The color drained from Fan

the last week or so, with return
ing strength, there had come
to her a feeling Of peace and

Just
Every
Day
Sense

MRS. DIANA BELAIS, presi-
N1 dent and founder OF the
Anti-Vivisection Society, appeared
recently in an Albany IN. Y
court to urge the passage OF the
Vaughn bill which would prevent
the use of living dogs for medical
experiments in New York.
1t was pointed out by the So
ciety and certain sympathetic
veterinarians that mo benefits
could come to human beings
through experiments on dogs for
which sheep and goats might not
as we'll be used"
Thus a goat, it seems, is always
"the goat" Cruelty is a large
term. Surely it is not logical to
contend that it is less cruel to
dissect living goat than a liv-
ing dog, since even the humble
guinea pig can suffer.
This incident demonstrates the
way in which a good many Of our
ants reason. If it is wrong to
use a live dog for medical expert
mentation. it should be wrong to
use a live sheep.
E
IT appears that our humane
i sensibIities become more ex-
cited over the dog and the horse
than over other animals. They
are, we tell ourselves, the friends
of man.
A poor excuse for Christians, it
seems to me. Nobody gets excited
over the pains that COWS endure.
We drive them palpitating and
fearful to the slaughter house and
cut them up into. steaks.
Tender calves are torn from
their namas and become veal cut
let's. Even squads in their little
nests are slain to make Cham
Der of Commerce banquet.
All this Juror about vivisection
is an insult to doctors. These men
as a general thing are not hard
ened and callous, nor would they
inflict unnecessary pain upon any
living thing.
The truth is that such expert
mentS have done much to miti-
gate human suffering and ac-
quaint us with the nature of dis
ease. Perhaps the end justifies
the means.
Anyway. is it more cruel to use
an animal for scientific investiga-
ton than to shoot man full Of
holes in a battlefield for the
Qualification of an individual, or
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of money
powers?
