DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan Clendening-

Predicting what will happen
in the next 10 years, Norman
Bel Geddes makes two prophe-
sizes Of medical interest.
There will be no more epi-
denies.
There will be no incurable
diseases.
We all hope he is right, but
we have long way to go. For
incurable diseases we need not
only the means to cure, but
education of the public to use
the means.
A Durable Disease
Diphtheria, for instance, is
certainly a durable disease. We
know exactly how to cure it
and how to prevent it. Yet
there are plenty of people who
still die of diphtheria. They
die because they or their fam
lilies do not call a doctor in
time, do not become convinced
Of the seriousness of the disease
until too late. Or because they
do not realize the reliability and
harmlessness of antitoxin. Or
because some crank or faddist
has warned them never to take
a serum.
It is not always lack of knowl-
edge, therefore, that prevents
diseases from being cured. Some
times it is lack of, or harmful,
education of the public. No
where is this more evident than
in the kind of instruction the
public is constantly getting
about diet.
Many newspapers and maya
zines seem to think they cannot
interest their readers with the
plain truth about wholesome
dieting. So cranks and faddists
spread the most outrageous
absurdities about the subject,
doing harm both to those who
take their advice and to those
in the legitimate business of
selling wholesome food.

have to cure disease, I will be-

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a reader of your col
umn and because of the way
you have helped other people,
I am going to put my problem
before youa
1 would like to know what a
girl is supposed to expect when
a boy tells her that she is the
only one and that he can't see
enough of her, but still he &C
cepts an invitation to go to q
party without her. Does this
show that the boy is tickle. or
that he is out for a good time,
but still loves the girl just as
much? The invitation was sent
by a girl. Would this have any
thing to do with the reason he
accepted? Don't you think, II
he cares for the girl as much
as he says, that he would refuse
if he didn't take her along. I
should like to know the correct
and polite form-the true lovers
point of view-concerning such
a matter. PUZZLED.
Since you have asked me the
true lovers point Of view, I
must say to you that I think a
young man who was very deeply
in love with one girl would prob
ably not care to accept invita-
tions which did not include her.
However, as you are not en-
gagged to the young man, 1t Is
perfectly proper for him to &C
cept invitations. And I should
advise you also to see as much
as possible of your other young
friends, both girls and boys.
Invite little groups to your home
for dancing or bridge, including
of course this young man, but
do not let him know that you
feel hurt because he sees other
girls occasionally.

The Place of Fruit Salad
On the Menu

AAAN \ AGsSC OAS- CGeASN
On the Menu
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Is it proper to serve a fruit
salad on a lettuce leaf as a
dessert? READER.
This cannot be properly clas-
sified as a dessert. But if the
rest of the meal has been of a
rather heavy type, and if the
luncheon or dinner is very in
formal one, the salad course
and the dessert course may be
combined in this way. Especial
ly if the course is dressed up a
bit with interesting accessories,
such as attractive biscuits or
crackers and interesting kinds
of cheese.
If you wish to serve the fruit
last, and wish to omit the salad
course, a more interesting way
at least a more "dessert-y"
way-is to serve a compete Of
fruit, either fresh fruits or
stewed fruits served with deli
cious juices.
And, if you serve the fruit
salad, don't make the lettuce
leaf singular. Choose from the
head of lettuce the small,
white inner leaves, and serve
the fruit on a few of the choic,
est Of these crisp leaves.

ministered to ease my suffering,
was given me by DR.. A., now one
of the leading gynecologistS in
the country.
Later, when my husband
learned the exact nature of the
treatment, he called in another
great physician, DR.. B., who
said it would be a crime to
operate on a girl of my tender
age-for this particular ailment
and conceded that his con-
temporary's treatment was a
most proper one.
Of course, the actual con-
tinuance Of the use of NOR
phine was the fault Of myself
and myself alone. I realized it
eventually might lead me to be-
coming an addict, but I thought
myself strong enough to quit it
before it got a hold on me.
Just Once More
1t is so easy to convince ones
self that this one last time
won't make any difference"
More and more frequently
felt the urge to calm myself
and ease my pain with the
soothing hypodermic needle
and the few drops of white
liquid that brought such relief.
My husband had kept remon-
strating with me until, even
tually, I became so tired Of
his nagging that I promised
to quit using the morphine.
For a long time I relieved my
suffering with secret injections.
Oftener and oftener it be-
came necessary for me to re-
sort to the treatment. The
terrible pain gnawed at me
daily, hourly. unless I allevi-
ated my suffering with a
shot"
Then, for the first time (this
was about a year and a half
after DR.. A. had given me my
first injectionD I realized that
I was a dope addict; a term
which has always-and still
does-strike terror into my

A weak, worldly girl, who
hadn't sufficient will power to
cast aside the treacherous
needle and the insiduous liquid,

yearning.

I was. No one will ever believe
me when I say that I spent
hours. days, weeks, during that
period, on my knees, praying,
imploring God to save me, to
give me strength to break away;

be Of great interest to every
body, but especially of value to
patients who have tuberculosis,
because it shows that even the
worst cases can get we'll.
The two young people de-
scribed, man and wife, had
every possible experience with
the disease. One had an early
case, one an advanced case.
They overcame nearly every
obstacle tuberculous patients
have to conquer-poverty, the
necessity of renouncing the
joys of life while you are young,
the companionship of their
child. Their triumph is an
illustration of Osler's phrase.

lures of hell itself?
I can buy dope in 20 to Is
different places in New York
city and never get out of the
sound of the rumbling elevated
or beyond easy walking dis
tance of a subway station.
I can buy of doctors and I
can buy it of nurses, and I can
buy it of crooked druggists,
very few of these I admit, but
there are one or two of them
just the same.
I can buy dope of walters in
smart restaurants and can
buy dope of poor shuffling
mattresses in cheap hash houses.
I can buy dope from a bell
boy in the smart hotels up
town and I can buy dope from
the janitor of a smart apart
ment near Riverside Drive.
1 can buy dope from door
man at a smart hat shop in
the upper fifties and I can buy
dope from a deck hand on a
ferry boat.
I can buy dope from stew
ard on a luxurious liner and
can step behind a pillar and
buy dope from a steVedore on
the wharf.
I can buy dope of porter
on a Pullman car and I can
buy it in the back streets of a
dozen different country towns.
Easy to Buy Dope
I can buy dope in Chicago
and in Seattle and in San
Francisco and in Los Angeles.
I can buy it in any Of these
cities from certain taxi cab
drivers and from certain news
boys.
They're bootlegging morphine
all over the United States and
Canada.
They make it up in cubes
with some other powdery drug
and the dope users pay boot
leggers' prices and get boot
leggerS' wares.
Marijuana is the most terri:
BILE drug of all. 1t is the
murder drug. You can buy a
box of marijuana cigarettes in
any city of any size Of the
United States.
Smoke three or four Of these
cigarettes and you will go out
and do your best to commit
murder. The murder drug they
call marijuana.
1t is mostly used by Mexicans,
but they do pass marijuana
cigarettes around at wild
parties, and half the wild
stories you hear about these
wild parties come from mari
juana fiends.
I have known many beautiful
girls and many fine women,
who became drug addicts.
Society women, writer's, ac-
tresSes, shop girls-they are all
held together in a sisterhood of
misery by their bondage to this
terrible slavery of drugs.
Some of the victims are led
into the dope habit by the ex-
ample of others, some are
tricked into it by agents of the
dope ring, who give them what
they call a dare and urge them
to try anything once.
Caught in the Net
But when they try it once,
poor fools, they try it again,
and before they know what they
are doing they are caught in the
net, which nine times out of
ten they can never escape, eX-
cept by death.
But from my expirence I have
no hesitation in saying that a
large proportion of the pitiful
drug slaves I have known in
high places, and in low, have
been made dope fiends by the
careleSSness of preoccupied and
over-hurried doctors in good and
regular standing or by the de-
liberate cruelty of an unworthy
member of a noble profession
who will do anything for money.

The king would need al these things, every
body agreed But whether he needed them or
not, the racketeers Of Egypt coveted the rich
trappings I'm royal tOmbs. and risked discovery
to remove all the valuables they could ind.
So. the Egyptians began philosophically to
wonder whether it was worth while to try to
take so much material wealth into the next
worId-especially when robbers made it so hard
to keep it.
More and more, the people turned their
thoughts to spiritual preparations for the flu
ture, and began to believe that perhaps after
all q good character and q secure knowledge
OF how to conduct oneself in the presence Of
the gods would be the best insurance policy for
the future.

Two Truths" and appear before a judges Of

name and must report to each one that she
has not been guilty Of some specific SIM You
con see now that the Book of the Dead would
prove an indispensable guide, for human mem.
DRY might easily fail on such a mental quiz.
The AZ sins were like q negative version Of
the Ten Commandments. Some of the So items
seem to US today to be much more fundamental
in their social and moral importance than
others To one Of the judges the princess m1se
report ON the solemn charge of whether she
had caused any man to be killed treacherously.
But another judge was concerned only with
what seems TO Us . comparatively minor fault
whether she had remembered not to lose her
temper when she was on earth.
ITO aid the Princess Entiu-ny through all this
court procedure, her Book of the Dead con-
tanned table Of the judges and the sin each
one judged. In addition to denying the a
sins, the princess must also make speech
justifying her claim that she had been pure all
her life.
Another chapter in the Book of the Dead
shows the princess advancing into the Han OF
Osiris, where her heart, her eyes and her
mouth must be judged. This was the greatest
ordeal Of the dead, the climax Of the judgment.
The heart Of the princess is shown in q bali
feather the symbol Of truth, and on that
weighing depends her future. II found un~
righteous by this test. she is condemned to ex-
tinction.
But the Book Of the Dead takes it for granted
that Entiu-ny win come safely through the
inquisition, and the writing shows Osiris giving
the verdict: "Her heart is righteous"
AS a matter Of fact the princess herself IN
her lifetime would not have been greatly
alarmed over the chance Of an adverse verdict.
The Book Of the Dead prepared one for just
such emergencies. There were magic spells to
prevent the heart from crying out to denounce
its owner If her claims to righteousness were
not strictly justihable. This does not mean
that the Egyptians talk of righteousness was an
empty sham. But the spells were considered
valuable to carry along, just in case the gods
proved too exacting
A MONG the spells provided in Entiu-ny's
book was one for the building of house
upon EARTH that is, the tomb for the resting
place of her mummy. Another spell told her
how to go to a certain place in the underworld
that she would wish to visit. Other spells made
it possible for her to force the gods to give her
protection and enable her to break the letters
of her tomb. Another bit of magic was spell
7 "for living on the breezes" in the city Of the
dead.
When her initiation to the underworld was
complete the princess might settle down to
various careers and pleasures. The pictures
in Entiu-ny's book show what she expected
