ATLANTA, Ga, May 22.-veter-
ans Of the Confederate army, all Of
them nearing the end Of life, are
looking forward with the same old
eagerness this year to Joining COM
rades at their annual southern re-
union.
They have planned for the same
trip, faithfully, every year since the
custom was begun in the nineties,
and all Of them plan to attend the
gathering until the time comes to
join their fellow soldiers who are
dead.
The trip across the southern states
will be hard on the $500 veterans
who will assemble in Montgomery,
Ala, on June 3, Of this year.
Rather Die at Reunion
But many Of the old soldiers have
said: 1--WE would rather die at a re-
union than anywhere else in the
world" Frequently they get their
wish.
There are no more Of the color
IuI Leaders OF the Confederacy at
the gathering, and at the annual
muster not a general answers the

There are few colonies, a few

boys during the last days of the
Civil war. Men older at the time
have already passed away, for the
war was fought two-thirds of CEN

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

This subject is taken up in
response to many requests from
readers.
The treatment of kidney dis.
ease-dietetic or otherwise-is
very technical problem, and
such treatment should not un-
der any circumstances be un-
dertaken by the patient him
self. The factors involved are
very complicated, and every
person thus afflicted should
certainly be in the hands of
his family physician and should
follow the advice given him to
the letter.
Reason For Articles
In order, however, to attempt
to give the patient a basis for
understanding the general prin.
ciples involved. and to aid him
to cooperate intelligently with
his physician, these articles are
written.
The main reason for the un-
certainty in this department is
found in the many forms
kidney diseases take. These
are so confusing that physi-
clans especially interested in
the subject spend a great deal
of their time making clasSifica-
tions of nephritis and then
tearing those classifications up
and making new ones.
These articles do not consider
some in the kidney or abscess
or pus in the kidney or tubercu-
1osls OF the kidney. Those are
local diseases-often called sur
gical diseases-and affect only
part of the kidney.
The General Situation
What we are considering is
the general involvement of all
parts of the excreting apparatus
Of both kidneys, preventing
them in some greater or less
degree from performing their
function of throwing off waste
products of the body. This may
occur in childhood or old age.
1t may be due to infection, as
by scarlet fever, or by metal
poisoning as by mercury (the

(Chapter 49,

The millionaire was young
and naturally good looking.
He was a graduate of one Of
the great Eastern colleges. He
had a beautiful estate, in Long
Island and winter home in
Florida. It was nothing for
him to lease a palace at Men

season and fill it with twenty
or thirty friends as smart"
and clever and good looking

he.
The millionaire's bride was
beauty-even yet-although a
pair of sharp eyes would have
observed quickly enough that
her young beauty was being
rapidly blighted by some secret
and deadly process.
They were both hopeless drug
slaves. '..
"Where have you been, AL

his name, but I will call him
that, in this chronicle.

are from us. We were worried
about you." ..
Don't worry any more" I
said. I'm back in the game

And then we sat and talked
it al over. I told them Of the
desperate fight I had been
making.
Midas laughed.

Sounds natural, doesn't it
honey?" he said.
We've made the same fight
three different times. We've
given it up now. It's no use.
We're going to the end of the
road, together"
We all cried together, like
foolish children-tears Of hys-
terra.
Then we all took a shot and
went out for a drive.
That night Midas and his
bride took me to a new kind
Of a party.

sure, but there was something
else about it that was abso-
lutely new to me.

Larry had quite a pocketful of
notes he decided suddenly that
he liked her. No matter how
absurd the statements she
made, her blue eyes danced.
She reminded him of someone
he knew, very family. He
couldn't place the resemblance.

her figure full, but very pretty.

TricOrne and Oxfords
We've chosen a modified tri-

acting as the third point.
A small, close-fitting brimless
hat would go we'll, too. Or
even a very simple, medium
brimmed hat.
You get the idea. don't you?
Then, of course, it's obvious
that the shoe with this costume
will be an oxford. The oxford,
with its trim, business-like lines,
just naturally "goes," doesn't
it?
The one sketched has con-
trasting tip and quarters and
is trimmed with neat perfora-
tionS. This oxford could also
be a one-leather oxford, still
trimmed with the perforations.
Simple Bag and Gloves
For the handbag the same
idea holds good. Something
simple and tailored looking. In
keeping with the rest of the
outfit. A neat envelope like the

be slow in onset or rapid. For
all these reasons an evaluation

He Listened to Talk
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Several weeks ago a mutual
friend introduced a very charm
ing young man to me and,
after seeing him a few times,
he told me he loved me. He
took me to shows and saw me
about twice a week. 1t seems
that some members of his
family are jealous. Although
they never saw me or spoke to
me, they told my friend that I
would ruin him if I married
him, as they learned that I
dress well and am accustomed
to nice surroundings. g'<.
While my folks are comfort
able, I am self-supporting and
have saved quite a bit of
money. His relatives have in
stilled in his mind that, if a
fairly wealthy girl goes with a
comparatively poor boy, she is
disabled in some way. They
have talked so much that he
has stopped calling or seeing
me. I called him at his office,
he said that he did not call
me because he did not wish
to hurt me but that he was in
no position to go out with a
girl. He also remarked that
times were bad. I asked him
to come over for friendships
sake and he answered that he
was going out of town for a
while, which I think was an
alibi. C. A.

NEW YORK-Just what
makes a srnart-looking costume
smart? Becomingness, for one
thing. Appropriateness, for
another. But more than any
thing else, the way it's put to-
gether.
The right dress with the coat.
The right hat. The right shoes.
For instance-the tailored
coat sketched is a smart coat
Dresses with cowl draped neck
lines and bell-Shaped skirts are
smart, too. But they wouldn't
make a smart costume if worn

He was sorry for her. There

ALMA RUBENS' LIFE STORY

, lawyers, one well-known doctor
and a sort of clownish fellow
who talked like the most ignor-
ant Cockney.
1 had met him at dope par
ties before. He could hardly
write or read, but when he was
full of snow" he was what we
call a scream.
This party began like most CT
the others, with a great glass
bowl full of liquid morphine.
We all filled our needles,
someone made a toast-thrust
shudder-groan-the party had
begun.
When we were down in the
depths of the morphine, sleepy,
our senses dulled and life out
side that room just dull ache
the cocaine and the heroin
were brought around and then
the mad, half naked dancing
began.
We were all crazy as bedlam.
A Treat IN Store
We writhed, and leaped like
the figures in a mad mans
dream. Then a whisper went
around. The treat of the eve
ring was to come.
Something new, something
wonderful.
I cannot describe the horror
of the episode
It is enough to say that at
the end of it a young girl lay
on the floor where she had
been whipped and beaten into
a dead faint.
They carried her into another
room, and dazed and crazy as
I was ! followed her.
She was sobbing and shaking
from head to foot.
I knelt down beside her
"It's all over now, my DEAR"
I said, you will soon be better.
Come I vial take you home,
and get a doctor for you"
The poor wretch gave q
crooked smile.
mr.:
The Victims Reward
Don't worry" she said, "Tll
get $500 for this nights work."
And sure enough the host of the
occasion came into the room
and handed the poor, degraded
wretch five crisp, brand-new
500 bills.
Her partner, a man dressed
as a slave, carried her down
stairs to taxi.
I went home deathly ill.
I heard afterward that the
party lasted two days and
nights.
I was sickened, disguised, hor.
rified-but I was a dope slave.
So I went on to more parties,
and more parties, hoping every
time that my last shot would
be the end of life for me.
But lived on, and on, and on.
One night we had q Harlem
party, about 80 of us.
In the midst of our insane
revels there was a pounding on
the locked doors.
Rum" yelled the giant negro
who ran the place, beat it, it's
the cops!" And beat it we did.
My $4,000 ermine wrap was
under q pile of coats and
dresses where I had thrown it,
when the snow began to work.
I clawed and paved through
sable, chinchilla, ermine,
through velvet, satin and lace
and found my coat, but this
had taken me three or four
minutes, and all the guests but
me had disappeared.
A 1.-the, slender man clutched
me by the arm.
Come on" he whispered, I'll
get you out Of this!"

think it puts him in a favorable
light? One likes to think Of
man as stubborn and indignant
when he girl is criticized and
having little use for the tattle
and tattlers. His start in life
may be less promising than
yours, but that's been the case
with thousands of successful
men and has not discouraged
them as lovers. My own guess
is that there is need of his pay
envelope at home and the young
man lacks the courage to be
frank with you. I'd accept his
explanation. Indeed, there is
nothing else for a girl to do
