Your Health
and Diet
By DR.. Logan Clendening

The reduction in the danger
Of the Fourth of July has been
accomplished largely by COM
mon sense. Even yet, however,
there is the necessity for super
vision and care and the preven-
ton of deaths on this happy
occasion is still possible.
The greatest danger in the
old Fourth of July was from
tetanus. Not from immediate
injury by toy cannons or fire
crackers or pistols, but from in
fection of the wounds so receiv-
ed by lockjaw germs.
TetanuS is always a danger in
a wound into which street dirt
or dust has entered. The te-
tanus germs grow in the large
intestines Of horses and other
herbivorous animals, and when
horse offal has been scattered
on the street a fine culture Of
such dangerous material Is i'm
planted there.
Spread Of Disease
Whether the comparative dis
appearance of the horse from
our city streets has contri-
buted to the lower mortality and
incidence of Fourth of July, te-
tanus is problematical, but it is
not likely, because one or two
horses can scatter enough te-
tanus germs to kill a whole
community.
The most potent factor in the
saving of life on the Fourth of
July has been the limitation of
ornaments. The embargo on
the sale of cannon crackers,
especially the dynamite variety,
the toy cannon and the over
loaded pistol that sooner or
later was doomed to explode.
One shudders to remember
the afternoon of the old-faSh-
ioned Fourth of July-our ex-
hausted male parents sitting on
the front porch lighting dyna-
mite crackers from their cigars
and tossing them into the air
to explode.

Mourning in the Heart-NOt
Costume

Mourning in the Heart-NOt
Costume
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
How long should a woman
of 38 go in mourning for her
mother? Is it still customary
to 60 all in black?
Now that the summer is
coming I would like your ad-
vice as to whether it Is neces-
sary for me to wear all black?
1 feel this way about it-1
mourn with my heart, not with
my clothes.
My mother died in April of
this year.
READER.
You have, dear friend, an
swered your own question with
the perfect statement, Il mourn
with my heart, and not with
my clothes" That is what the
modern world feels-and quite
right it is And this is why
We no longer, or at least very
seldom, see women swathed in
heavy mourning clothes, or
heavy, sorrowful-looking crepe
wells, or hot-looking dresses of
heavy material. This makes
them uncomfortable, and makes
an observer uncomfortable.
Very few people, nowadays,
wear this kind of heavy mourn
ing, and very few people wear
mourning for the long periods
of former days. The individ-
ual determines the kind of
mourning and the length of
time it is to be worn.
The new black and white
combination. with light weight
materials, are perfect. Or dark
clothes, not necessarily accent
ing the black at all. And all
white is as deep mourning as
all-black, remember.
In England They Do 1t Diff.
ferently
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
When is it correct to use
Dear" in the heading of q
letter and when is my dear"
used?
Which is considered more
formal?
FAITHFUL FOLLOWER.
Although it has always
seemed to be rather inconsist-
ent, in this country it is con-
sidered that my Dear" is more
formal than Dear" The re-
verse holds true in England.

MissFairfax' S
Advice to
LoveIorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage


Love and Marriage
Why woman who represents
the thrifty sex-and will walk
four blocks to save cents on
a head of lettuce, or rush into
the riot of a bargain sale to
save a quarter-so seldom
brings this quality to bear in
her domestic relations, is one
of the unsolved mysteries.
I mean, of course, the utter
thriftlessness of not putting
by for the spiritually rainy day
E. the time when the glamor
of the honeymoon is over and
people see each other like pho
tographs that haven't been re-
touched.
But to tell this to a young
husband or wife in the first
months of their marriage, to
hint ever so gently that a few
mutual interests. in the way
of congenial tastes, fads or hob
bies would be wise. :. is to rush
in where angels fear to tread.
The Big Adventure
They are so sure, these two
young creatures, that life will
always be the same wonderful
adventure that it was when
they unpacked the wedding
presents, and settled the new
china on the dresser shelves.
That always they will be wildly
and romantically in love-dis-
aster may be for others, but not
for them. AS for the honey
moon, it's going to last with
them to the end of the chapter.
One of my correspondents has
written me a very enlightening
letter about her experiences
along these lines. She had been
married a little over five years
and, while she and her husband
were still fond of each other,
the honeymoon was over, de-
cidedly.
She was absorbed in her chill
dren and he was absorbed in
his business and politics-inci-
dentally he liked to read, and
she held his books as hateful
rivals.
When she wanted him to go
out for an evening of bridge, he
alway" wanted to stay home and
read.
A Great Discovery
1t was then she made the
alarming discovery that her
husband was calling on another
woman. She sleuthed around
and found that the other party
was neither young nor pretty
she was in fact the widowed
mother of one of his friends.
The wife had always under
stood that an old charmer was
the worst, that such had the
wisdom of the serpent, and the
cooperation of Satan as well.
The wife turned things over
in her mind for months, then
determining on a bold stroke.
She'd call on this woman and
ask her why she was wrecking
her home.
The first glimpse of the siren
made anything like battle i'm
possible-she was elderly,
plain, didn't use makeup and
had a figure like a badly made
eight. Jealousy was out of the
question. The husband it
seemed visited his old friend
because he like a little agree
able and intelligent companion
ship now and then.
