HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan CIendening-

We began this week by dis
cuSsing the subject of mucous
colitis, and pointing out that
among the causative factors of
the disease is a certain type of
body build; that So per cent Of
the people who have mucous
colitis were of this build.
Then in yesterdays article
we discussed briefly the new re-
searches in medicine into body
structure in it's prediSposition
for the individual to acquire
certain diseases. Certain peo-
pie, for instance, have a stom-
ach ulcer type of face, and more
of them seem to get ulcer of the
stomach than other people.
Long or Wide
The way in which human be.
ings differ in build most fire.
quently is in being long or wide.
If you range up any fairly good
number of your friends you will
find that they will fall into one
or the other of these divisions;
you won't have to strain your
imagination much to classify
them in that way. OF course,
there will be extreme examples
of each kind, and many inter:
mediate types, so that you can
create a third division, if you
wish, of normalS. ...
The wide people flare away
from the midline, and the long
people hang up and down the
midline. The wide people have
round faces, short neckS, arms,
and legs, and wide chests and
abdomens. The long people
have long faces, long necks,
long arms, long legs, long
chests, and long abdomens.
Comparing the Types
These external differences cor.
respond to certain differences
In the structure and form Of
the internal organs. And also
to differences in the predispoSi-
ton to disease. Thus, the wide
people have high, wide stomachS
and good digestion; high bowels
and normal evacuation; wide
hearts and a likelihood to
heart disease in middle life,
high-blood pressure, apoplexy,
increase of weight and diabetes.
The long people are subject
to certain stresses also. Their
long, thin lungs seem adapted
to the development of tuber-
culosis. What interests us in
this study is that their stomach
and intestinal architecture pre-
olsposeS them to dyspepsia and
constipation and other digestive
disorders. 1t is hard to prove
absolutely that the low stomach
creates dyspepsia or the low
bowel constipation, because we
frequently find people with the
stomach and intestines low who
are in perfect health. But, by
and large. certain types of di-
gestive complaint go with this
type Of body. ~

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland.

The Sweet and LOw-DOwn
What happens to you before
80 matters so MUCH more than
what happens to you after 40,
that you'd fancy Nature would
have given all the caution to
the youngsters and made the
oldSters wild and reckless.
To tell a pretty woman that
she is pretty is a natural i'm
pulse: but to tell a plain wom-
an that she is pretty is a
stroke of state.
Most men have such rapid
changes Of heart nowadays that
they have to make love almost
as fast as Floyd Gibbons talks
in order to get through the
whole program in the time
limit.
Every year we forget that it
rained for two weeks, steadily.
LAST MAY. And, by that same
quirk of the human mind, a
man always forgets his marital
troubles and picks out the same
kind of a woman for his second
wife as the one who made him
miserable, the first time.
No matter how often a man
has been married he always
The Washington times., 1931-06-03

fancies that he MIGHT have
found an Ideal Wife if he had
kept on experimenting just a
little longer.
A man is such a timid Gre
ture that he has to have writ
ten guarantee of safety before
he will permit himself to be-
come seriously interested in a
woman. But once he falls he is
afraid of nothing OH earth
except that he may not GET
the woman.
Nothing makes an average
girl so TIRED as the "taxicab
snuggle." Yet there seems to
be something about just enter
ing a taxi that makes a mans
arm shoot out automatically
around a Woman's shoulders.
You'd imagine that Reno
would be the saddeSt, instead of
gayest town in America, con-
sidering that its path to fame
has been paved with broken
hearts, shattered illusions, and
blasted romances.
Every married man has the
right to open his wife's letters,
according to a judicial decision;
all he lacks is the nerve.

I can't help feeling that

became interested in some

have been absolutely faithful to
you. Why don't you ask her
to talk things over with you

you shouldn't forego. If you

CHAPTER 20

CHAPTER 20
An idea began slowly, surely,
and roundly to form itself in
Rarick'S brain. With the char
acteristically slow metabolism
of a mind that thinks its way
cautiously to destination, even
the consummation took place
so gradually that up to a GER
tain point it was scarcely per-
ceptible to Rarick himself.
It was his way, nerve-rack-
ing, sometimes. to those de-
pendent upon his decision, to
wake up one morning with
clear-cut plan of action SEEM
ing to spring full-grown out
of long periods of what ap-
peared to be a languid series
of procrastinations.
For instance, over a period Of
four and one-half years, Rarick
had held up certain final
building decisions that had de-
layed the breaking of ground
for the Rarick Building almost
beyond the endurance of those
intimately connected with the
gigantic project.
At the conclusion of the
fifty-fourth month of procraS-
tination, certain franchise de-
velopmentS and new subway
constructions gave the delays
most providential signifi-
canoe, although it had been
impossible to get out of Rarick
whether he had foreseen, ma
neuvered, or been just char
acteristically slow, careful and
lucky.
Foresight, Not Insight
There were those that main
tained that both the franchise
developments and the subway
constructions had been the out
growth of only the last six
months of the four and one
half years, and that it must
have been foresight, not insight.
Hellman, who possibly was
closest of all to this particular
situation, maintained a face
carved out of cherrystone, in.
sinuating with his manner, that
circumstances similar to this
happened too frequently to leave
doubt in any except the most
obtuse, of the enormous quality
Of generalShip behind such
Slow-moving maneuver.
On the other hand, there was
Jenny, wife, to whom all things
were still flowing from the &C
cident of her initial $4,000.
This success of his, engendered

of a boy of that age legal in

places? Are his parents doing
anything to influence him to

sounds most unprepossessing
and the boy is entirely too
young to think of marriage.
