When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. BEECKMAN
A Note Of Good Wishes

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Ihave been going with a
young man for the past three
months, but have as yet met
his parents.
Last week he had an appoint
ment with me, which he failed
to keep. I learned that he had
been in an automobile accident
and was unable to leave his
house. Here is my problem:
Would 1t be proper for me to
go to his home to see him? A.
No, don't go to his home to
see him until he suggests that
you do this. Write him a note
now, telling him how deeply
sorry you are about his acci-
dent, and sending him your
friendlieSt wishes for an early
recovery. With your gracious
note you might send him a book
you are sure that he will enjoy
reading. Then naturally. when
he answers this note, or tele.
phones you about it, he will, if
he wishes and if he thinks it
convenient, exercise his privilege
of asking you to come to see
him. But naturally too, you
wouldn't go unless he suggest
it.

Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis A. Bisch


The kidneys bear watching,
for they are among the most
complicated as well as delicate
of the human organs, while
their Importance in maintain
ing health-indeed, life itself
cannot be overStated.
Each individual possesses two
kidneys, both in the abdominal
cavity, we'll back on either side
of the lower or lumbar region
of the spine. Fat surrounds
and supports the kidneys.
Although the human kidney
resembles that of a sheep in
general outline, it is somewhat
larger. The curved part looks
toward the spine and from the
middle of this runs a tube,
called the "ureter," which ex-
tends, downwards and inWards
to the bladder, the reservoir
for the urine, which comes
down from the kidneys through
the ureters drop by drop, and
continually, day and night.
The kidney itself is made up
of numerous tiny tubuleS which
secrete urine, a liquid contain
ing waste products from the
body chemistry, the products
being carried to each kidney by
the blood stream.
Specific Gravity
The normal specific gravity
of urine is 1920. Usually it is
slightly acid in reaction. It's
watery character holds in solu-
ton both organic as well as in
organic substances, even color
ing matters and gases. The
principal organic substance is
urea. Among the inorganic
ones may be mentioned sodium
chloride, the same thing as
table salt, also the SulphateS
and phosphates of sodium, cal
cium, potassium and magne-
stun.

Urea, which constitutes about
2 per cent of the usual amount
of urine, is composed Of carbon,
oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen.
Contrary to popular opinion,
every person has some uric acid
in his system.
Urea is not manufacturer in
the kidneys. 1t is selected from
the blood. The liver, as well, as
other tissues of the body. plays
a part in the formation of urea
When albumen appears in the
urine it is an indicator that the
kidney function is not what It
should be. It. does not neceS'
sarily follow, however, that the
presence of albumen indicates
serious kidney damage, either
from anatomical or a physlo-
logical point of view. Neverthe-
less whenever "albuminuria,"
as doctors call this phenome-
non, is present, even though 1t
may not mean Bright's disease,
no time should be lost in con-
sulting a physician 'f
Testing the Urine
The practice of having a
specimen of Urine examined by
sending it to a laboratory is all
very well as far as it goes. but
unless the results of the test
are interpreted by a physician,
the average layman knows
about as much or as little as he
did before. Still, even such
self-examinations are better
than none at all. There is no
disputing the fact that the
urine should be examined once
a year at least, while in cases
of chronic illness of any kind.

Fiancee Has Independent Date
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For the last three years I
have gone with a very nice girl
and we became engaged. One
evening not long ago we had
been out together and I asked
her if she'd like to go to a
dance. She declined, telling me
she was tired. Next evening
went to a dance and there was
my fiancee with a boy friend.
She seemed surprised to see me,
and left almost Immediately.
The whole business was a shock
to me, and I don't know if I'd
better give her the date, or
wait till she calls me up and
explains.
DISMAYED.
Well, my dear boy, didn't you
go to a dance without her?
Your letter tells me nothing
about asking her for the next
night, and in this age of indie
pendence don't really see why
your girl wasn't free to do the
same. However. as you seem to
enjoy going places without each
other, don't you think it would
be well to consider carefully
whether it would be better to
put off any idea Of marriage

THE STORY THUS FAR

Mary Faith, young and
cOmeIy fiancee of Kimberly
Farrell, handsome blond youth,
just out of law school, leaves
her position as secretary to the
wealthy Mark Nesbit to marry

late, due to Kim'S delay, Mary
Faith is greeted cOOlIy by Mrs.
Farrell. Suddenly there is q
crash and scream from the
kitchen and kim calls to Mary
Faith. Mrs. Farrell had
knocked over q pot of coffee
slightly burning herself. The
unpleasant attitude of Kim's
mother proves to Mary Faith
that she does not favor the
marriage. Driving home, Mary
Faith realizes a mothers feel
ingS in giving up her only son.
Before leaving, Kim bIuntIy
asks Mary Faith to postpone
the marriage.
CHAPTER VI
It was in the beginning that
M:r' Faith had been in need
of a friend. A month after
their coming to the tall red
brick house her mother had
died Of pneumonia, and there
had been no one but Mrs.
Puckett to comfort Mary Faith

her course at the Spencerian
Business College downtown.

It was not the date. There

from a married man.
Dea. Miss Fairfax:
Whenever I tried to talk to
my wife about our money af-
fairs, she always acted as If I
were reading some sort Of q
patent specification. She just
wasn't there. Things went from
bad to worse, and I told her
we'd have to cut down to face
economic conditions. She said:
That's your job. I keep the
house, attend to the children,
even to making their clothes,
anC it's up to you to provide"
Some of the providing that
I managed belonged to the
firm. My father has made
good the shortage, and I am
allowed to resign owing to a
good previous record. but every.
one seems to be done with me.
I am just writing this to get
the horror off my chest, as
you don't happen to know me.
There isn't much of an an
swer that can be written to
such a letter, it's too much like
locking the stable door after
the horse has gone. If the
family survives this disaster the
lady who listened to her hus-
band, when he tried to talk
of income and outgo, as if he
were reading a patent specifi-
cation, will have learned her
lesson. But at what a cost!

"We've decided not to be

said, and there was not a

Mr.. Farrell-found out today
that he can't get away from
the office just now"
She wondered if any of them
believed her. She was pretty
sure that not one of them
did. She caught Lily Brock
giving her a narrow, calculat-
ing look as she took a cup
of cider from Mrs. Puckett'S
tray.

their hands. Mr.. McClintock,
as postmaster, cleared his
throat.
I'VE had intended to drink

in his courteous, old-faShioned
way. "The bridegroom to-be
isn't here, but let us drink
the toast just as If he were!
The wedding is postponed, but
that means we shall keep our
girl here with US a little
longer"
Mary Faith faced them all
with a wide smile thai did not
hide the unhappineSs in her
eyes.

trees in Haltnorth Park were
hidden in mist, and Mary
Faith bathed and dressed by
electric light.
There was a light burning In
the lower hall, too, she saw as
she came down the stairs at
eight o'clock.
A man was sitting just inside
the curtained door of the par
lor. At the sound of her light,
hurrying steps he got up and
came out into the hall.
It was Kim. Before he
reached her he began to speak.

steadily. "IS there any place

Mary Faith could see Mr.. Nc

Agnes was standing in the door
of the dining room.

said, looking up at him. a faint,
