Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

Expectant mothers, naturally,
with all the changes occurring
in their bodies, have more
symptoms than under normal
circumstances. Sometimes these
symptoms are of no conSe-
quence; sometimes they indi-
cate serious disease. The best
rule is for the woman to con-
suit her physician about any
thing she does not understand
and receive either assurance or
treatment.
Physicians see both types Of
patients-the oversensitiVe ones
and those who have stubbornly
allowed serious symptoms to
progress without inquiry into
the cause.
Remember if your doctor
tells you that what you are eX-
periencing is not serious and
need cause you no alarm, it is
worth just as much or more
than if he had said something
else. There are plenty of doc
tors who treat every symptom a
patient has very elaborately,
and make lots of tests, if you
want to encourage the spread
of that kind of doctoring all
you have to do is to take the
attitude, well, don't see why

quent and natural for the ex.
pectant mother. Nausea and
vomiting are regular parts Of
the experience during the early
months. Unless they are con-
tinuous and excessive they need
little treatment. Heartburn is
often annoying. It seldom
means anything serious. The
only treatment necessary is to
dilute the stomach acids by
drinking one or two glasses of
water or to counteract them
by a teaspoon of baking soda
(bicarbonate of Soda) in water.
The veins on the legs gen
orally enlarge due to pressure
on the veins in the pelvis.
Swelling of the feet occurs for
the same reason.

get down to brass tacks, subsist
on fruits and vegetables, lean
meats and green salads, care
fully avoiding rich gravies, fat
meats, starchy foods, condi-
ments, pastries and the con-
tents of the bonbon box.
One innocent little chocolate
cream contains 100 calories and
that is precisely the reason why
the dumpling-dears must steer
clear of the bonbon box. The

When Manners
Are Correct
Second Marriage
Dear Mrs. Beeckmann:


l. Is it proper for a young
widow to continue to wear her
wedding and engagement ring
after becoming engaged to an
other man?
2. If the man does not give
her an engagement ring, would
it be proper to wear her first
engagement ring after her sec
ond marriage? WIDOW.
/. When a woman decides to
marry for a second time, she
should at once cease wearing
the engagement ring and the
wedding ring that are associated
with her first marriage. This
delicacy of feeling would GER
tainly be due to the man whom
she is to marry.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 10 years old and in
love with a young man of 81.
We have been going with each
other a year. His mother,
seeing that we were getting
serious, decided to put a stop
to it. She told her son to drop
me or else she would put him
out, and that would mean no
home or job, as he works for
his father. So he decided to
drop me, but is very unhappy.
Should two people suffer for
the sake of a selfish mother?

Tired feet may wander thru.
Whereon, in dreams strange
flowers revealed,
Brave hopes unfold anew!
And what is sleep? A silent

Close-barred to every care,
So not one glittering grief or

Of day can enter there!
What is this sleep? A bubble

The slightest sound may
break;
Yet in that sphere what rapt

What bliss a soul may take!

ANTHOLz SUIT
IS DISMISSED
BY STIPULATION

Because of a stipulation agreeing
to division between Maude Antholz
and the First Central National bank
of Calexico of $4,000 from life
insurance policy issued to Herman
Antholz by the Aetna Life lnsur-
ance company. attorneys for Mrs.
Antholz and for the bank yester-
day afternoon filed in superior
court orders for dismissal of an
action brought by Mrs. Antholz,
and in which the bank had filed a
cross-complaint.
BY the stipulation, which was ap-
proved by Judge Vaughn N. Thomp-
son. the bank is to receive $3l 500
and Mrs. Antholz $18,500 from the
policy. Accumulated interest total
ing S6l3.50 is to be divided between
the bank and Mrs. Antholz on a
pro rata basis, according to the
amount each receives of the $4,000.
The Aetna Life Insurance COM
pany will pay the full amount OF
the policy, with interest.
The stipulation also provided that
Mrs. Antholz was to dismiss her
complaint with prejudice. This
means neither party can again
bring an action involving this par
| ticular matter.
Mrs. Antholz first brought suit
in an effort to force the insurance
company to pay to her, as execu-
triX of the estate of Herman An
tholz and only surviving partner ol
the firm of Fl. Antholz and COM
pany, the amount of the policy. The
bank was named as claiming som'
interest in the policy.
In a cross-complaint the banl
contended Antholz took out th'
policy to secure debts he had con
tracted, and of which the banl
had taken care.
The insurance company recentl.
obtained an order for the othe
two parties TO the suit to appea
in court and show cause why, upol
payment of $4,000 into court, tn
insurance company should not b
discharged as a defendant. Thi

TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING

TELL the truth.
L 1t IS a good standard for anyone to
choose in any circumstance, but particu-
larly so for advertisers, in the opinion
Of the Affiliated Better Business Bureaus
which recently considered the ethical
phases of advertising.
The bureau, in announcing six points
for the guidance of advertisers, declared
that it seeks to eliminate advertising that
has the capacity or tendency to under
mine public confidence in advertising an
nouncements' or has the effect of in
juring unfairly the sales or the good will
of a competitive product or service.
Six faults in advertising which the bu-
reau condemned are: misleading adver-
tising unfair competitive claims, dispar-
agement of competitors. underselling
claims, bait offers, deceptive state
ments accompanying cut prices.
Advertising which tells the truth,
neither misrepreSenting what the adver-
tiser has to offer, nor condemning the
product of a competitor, is the objective
of every newspaper worthy the name.
Sensational advertising is frowned up
on. The newspaper which plays fair
with its advertisers and its readers does
not accept advertising which contains
statements which it knows are not true,
or which are not fair to other adver-
tiSerS.
The Press gives as much attention to
the class of advertising it accepts as It
does to the news which it permits to get
into its columns.
Sometimes it is confronted with the
statement which every newspaper meets
now and then, that as long as the adver-
tiser is willing to pay, the paper must
accept the advertising offered Such is
not the case. Freedom of press applies
as much to the advertising columns as
to the news columns and the publisher
reserves the right to accept or reject ad-
vertising as he sees fit.
A conscientious effort is made to keep
Press advertising columns clean and
truthful The merchant advertising
therein need not fear that he or his pro-
duct is going to be misrepresented, or
that a competitor is going to be SLOWED
to injure him through the same columns.
Press advertising is sold entirely on
the merits of this paper to deliver the
goods-interested readers who seek sell
ing information through its advertising
columns as they seek the news IN the
news columns.
