Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. ID.
A young German medical
student, named Peter Dett-
weller, had a guSh Of blood
into his mouth. He knew what
it meant. It meant tubercu-
losis, and in those days was
virtually equivalent to a SEN
tence Of death.
Dettweiler heard, however,
Of q sanitarium which had
been opened for patients with
tuberculosis about ten years
before by DR.. Hermann Breh-
mer.
DR.. Brehmer held out some
hope to these unfortunate pa
tients. He contradicted the
then fashionable doctrine that
tuberculosis was incurable. He
knew it could be cured be-
cause he had cured spots Of
tuberculosis in the lungs Of
bodies at the autopsy table.
He, therefore, opened a sani-
tarium for the treatment Of
such cases in 1859 high up in
the Waldenberg Mountains in
Germany.
Young Dettweiler's treatment
was successful here. His case
was arrested. And during his
stay in Brehmer's Sanitarium he
became imbued with the idea
of establishing such institutions
for people of moderate means.
His whole life was spent on
this work. He convinced the
medical world of the necessity
of bed rest for the consumptive.
He established the all-the-year-
round fresh air treatment. He
introduced the reclining chair,
and invented the portable recep-
tacles for Sputum.
The whole modern treatment
Of tuberculosis dates from Dett-
weller. Had he not had tuber-
culosis himself it might never
have received such an impetus.

The Four Winds
The four winds of heaven,
They shrek. they sing to me,
All whirling in a dervish dance,
A mood Of drunken glee!
The north wind comes shouting
OF lands Of ice and snow;
AS cold as forgotten love
His cruel breezeS blow.
The east wind comes bearing
The scent of spice and musk,
With tales of avatars outgrown
And all Of life huSk!
The west wind comes grooming
Of islands far and fair,
And Tapped by bleSt oblivion,
With beauty dreaming there.
The south wind I love, dear,
1t, only. brings to me
The story of your clinging arms,
Yours lips of ecstasy!
The four winds of heaven
Go whirling past tonight;
But, dear the south wind only
Can thrill me with delight!

CHAPTER 2S

Val spent two days unpack-
ing, trying rather hopelessly to
make the apartment look like
the one in which she had once
been so happy with Millie.
She didn't have the knack.
She bought flower pots in
which to root the luSty geran-
ium slips she had brought from
California, and then discovered
that 1t was a house without a
windowsill. SO they had to
be put in q row on the kitchen
table.
The pictures and cushions re-
fused to make themselves at
home, and the odd pieces of
brass and pottery simply clut-
tered the tables. The place
looked better before they moved
in.
Cooking. That was another
difficulty. Nobody had thought
Of it. If it had not been for
Joe's agility with the can
opener there wouldn't have
been much to eat.
1t looked easy. 1t sounded
easy.
Beat well. Bake in a mod

Woes Of Cook
But how are you to know
what's meant by a moderate
oven, and how can you tell,
without eating it whether or
not a thing Is done?
Alas for Val, Aunt Julia had
-Sssyer taught her how to cook.
It wasn't that she hadn't
wished to learn. Somehow Aunt
Julia always did everything left
Tor Val to do. At the last mo-
ment she thought of it, and
lectured about some of the i'm
portant points Val was to re-
member. But Val was far too
dreamy, too full of love and
romance to do much more than

When Manners
Are Correct
DEAR MRS, REECKMAN:


At home we have been discuss
ing table manners. There are
two questions I would like very
much to have you answer.
l. Should the daughter of the
house, a girl Of II or so, re-
main standing behind her chair
until her father is seated:
should he hold her chair for
her, or should they both be seat
ed without further ceremony
when they are both in the din
ing room?
2. Should the hands be al
lowed to remain in the lap;
should they be kept with just
the finger-tips on the edge of
the table, or should they rest
unobtrusively on the table?
Both Of these requests are in
respect to just every-night in
formal family meals. E. JIM.
1. The girl Of II should re-
main standing until her mother
is seated or until women guests
are seated, but not until her
father is seated. After the
father has held the mothers
chair until she is seated, it is
polite and courtly for him to
hold his daughters chair. COT
course, if there are women
guests, he will hold their
chairSO lam most enthusiastic

Engagement Announcement
Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Would
it be bad form to announce an
engagement through the news
papers when one is not going
to send out engraved invita-
tions to the wedding, only an
nouncements afterward? This
isn't going to be a real wedding
just a few friends.
READER.
No, indeed. It would be in
excellent form to make this
announcement through the
newspapers. And it makes no
difference that an informal
wedding is to follow. The en-
gagement is quite a distinct de-
tail.

Household Hints

Moth preventative-Stick as

in a moderate oven and, when
thoroughly dried, put it among
your clothes. The orange will

Advice to the Love|orn
By Beatrice Fairfax

He Wants to Take to the Road
Dear Miss Fairfax:
like many another, I lost my
Job during the past year, and
my wife's family agreed to let
AIS live with them for a mini
mum rate. We had thousand
dollars saved, but our baby was
born and died and that didn't
leave much of the nest egg.
I've left no stone unturned to
find a job, but have been un-
successful.
My Wife's family are rotten
to me, glaring at me at table
and making sarcastic remarks
about the boarders. We pay
nothing now, as we have moth
ing. I want to take to the
road. I have a brother who
has an onion ranch in Texas;
he's not doing very we'll, but
believe he'd take me on for
board and shelter till the tide
turns. My wife doesn't want
me to go, as she says I'll never
return If I undertake the long
trek to Texas. I've not written
to my brother fearing he would
discourage me if asked to
come, but feeling he wouldn't
turn me down if I appeared at
his door.
I love my wife devotedly and
I think I would be able to send
for her. What do you make of
my case? I don't know much
about tramping. having been a
hookkeeper all my adult life.
SAM A. H.
I'm, inclined to agree with
your wife that it would be
pretty hard on a man who has
had no experience on the road
to begin now, when there are
so many homeless people who
are trying the same venture.
Don't you think it would be
better to write to your brother
and enlist his help? Blood, you
know, is thicker than water;
and it is probable that the
Travellers Aid or some social
agency would help you out in
the matter Of transportation.
Even the "in-laws" might ad-
vance you the money If there
was a prospect Of work in
store. You and your wife love
each other-that's a good deal
Of a silver lining to a pretty
dark cloud.
Is Any Remedy Possible?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I suppose you'll throw this
In the waste basket saying
there's no remedy for such a
tragedy as mine. My husband
Is what is called a prohibition
drunkard. He never drank to
excess till drinking became il
legal, and then he drank be-
cause he said his rights as a
citizen had been invaded. He

There are four of them. I've

tired, of my opportunities, and
I'm burned up with shame at
having to go to them. My hus-
band still has his jon, though
he has been threatened with
dismissal if he doesn't stop
drinking. OF course there's an.
other woman, and she gets the
money that should go to his
family. Do you think there's
any remedy in my case? Thank
you for an answer. You've
been good enough to write to
me before. MOLLY B.

Contract
Bridge
By E. v. SHEPARD
They Never Learn

There are a few elementary
principles that even players
rated as good never seem to
learn. What is the sense in
making a weak bid against q
declaration at your left that
cannot go gameP An opposing
rebid, or a shift of make, may
cause that bidders partner to
carry the contract to game.
Why push up harmless con-
tract into game or slam, unless
you are either prepared to
outbid opponents or to defeat
their contract? When oppon-
ents are a game-in, especially
if they have a part score on
the next game, why overbid
seriously to save the game?
The odds are all in favor Of
opponents going game and
rubber ultimately. Why pay
for q big rubber when you
can escape with q small loss?
Illustrations of two foolish bits
Of strategy are shown below.

Originators of Spiral Punt
And Pass Not Made Clear by
Archives of Cridiron Sport

Very clearly the scepticism Of the
late Billy Bull is recalled. Bull at the
time was writing for the New York
Evening Sun one of the first newspaper
columns devoted to amateur sport that
was ever published. Bull had won a
reputation at Yale as the greatest
punter and drop-kicker in the gridiron
annals Of old Eli and his column,
Chasing the Pigskin," was a daily ref
erence of all foot ball lovers and as
well a court of last appeal in conjunc-.
ton with Caspar Whitney's page IN
HarperS weekly.
WELL, Bull did not for moment be-
wv lieve that Mack Pope was able to,
kick intentional spirals. Accident
ally, yes. But Bull had no idea that
the ball could be so controlled as to
spiral like bullet from rif1ed gun at.
the will of the kicker. The time soon
came, though, when every one was con-
vinced and after his graduation in
1896, Pope went to Annapolis to teach
spiral kicking to the Midshipmen.
1t does not seem that If Snake AmeS
had used the spiral punt back in 1889,
Bull, who played his last game OF foot
ball for Yale in 1887 and thereafter
kept in close touch with the sport,
would have known about it. At any
rate Bull himself as graduate soon

On the basis of early returns there
appears to be no chance for Yale to
stop Dartmouth'S march when the two
teams clash for the second time at
Hanover, N. H, on Saturday.
Dartmouth nosed out Yale by a single
point in their first meeting at New
Haven and must be conceded an over
whelming advantage over the Els at
Hanover, the Indians own stamping
ground. And since that first close
game at New Haven Yale has lost the
services Of Bill Saner, fashy young for

out of three.
Columbia, sadly missing the services
OF the injured Lou Bender, will attempt
to get back into the fight with a vic

the league is concerned this week, will

Jack Chevigny, resigned Notre Dame
backfeld coach, offered no reason today
for his separation from the Irish nor
did university officials comment on his
resignation, announced yesterday.
Chevigny said he was considering sew

was star blocking halfback at Notre
Dame and in the last three years has
tutored some of the Irish'S most fa-

He began coaching in 1929 under the

died was designated Junior" coach to
work with Senior" Coach Heartily
Anderson in developing last years

Marchmont Schwartz, Notre Danes
