CHAPTER 20

The policeman reached for
the bottle. But before his
fingers actually touched it, Mar
jorie had leaned forward from
the rumble seat and knocked it
out Of Caddy's hand.
A second later it fell to the
brick pavement at the side Of
the car and smashed!
"There!" Marjorie's voice was
loud with triumph. Nov. who
says we have a bottle in this
car! We haven't any bottle,
Mr.. Road Cop!" She fell back
against the seat. laughing.
In the glow from the dash
light Sharlie could see that the
officers face was distorted with
anger. He opened his mouth to
say something. But before he
could speak Marjorie burst forth
again.

she asked. -Four nice young

call up Judge Havermyre and
ask him if his niece, Marjorie
Milliken, is the kind of person
who goes around with people
who carry liquor in their car"
The policeman peered through
the darkness at her, frowning
and puzzled. Sharlie could al
most see his brain at work. >.

be asking himself. And if so.

Without word he walked

Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis A. Risch
Famous Authority on Health and Psychology

Nervousness is on the in
crease. Yet few persons know
how to prevent it, while an un-
commonly large number of ner-
vous sufferers fail to overcome
the malady.
Nevertheless nervousness is
preventable; likewise is it cur
able. Even chronic cases, in
existence for years, can be i'm
proved and the patients rem
dered more comfortable. In
fact, among such chronics
proper methods, not yet tried,
often yield most gratifying re-
suits, and the patients are
once Llore restored to a state
where their nerves don't bother
them in the least.
The trouble really is that
many persons believe that they
are born nervous, or that moth
ing can be done about it.
Ofen, too, they visit one physi-
clan after another without
giving any one of them suf-
ficient time to bring about re-
lief. Lastly, the specialist in
nervous disorders is not usually
consulted, he being the one
who has made q life'S study of
the manifold disorders that
may befall tie nervous system,
and the man who, one might
expect, would know how to
solve a battling nerve problem.
To be sure, nervousness is a
much abused term. Everybody
is likely to become nervous at
some time or other; that is,
he is apt under stress and
strain to reveal certain amount
of nerve instability. Usually such
nervousness disappears when
the cause for it is removed.
Worry about a job or ones
bills, or work under pressure, or
too much pleasure and too
little rest-any of these fac
tors, as we'll as many others,
may produce a temporary but
what one might call an acute
case of nerves.
1t is the patients with fears,
obseSsions, compulsions, anxiety,
morbid ideas, over-sensitiveness
and the like who are likely,
however, to give up hope. Such
disorders one may group under
the general title "neuroses."
And since no two cases of neu-
rosis are exactly alike, the
treatment of every neurotic
differs from every other, if
complete cure is to be effected.
The treatment of a neurosis
is, above all else, an individual
matter. Not only must the
physical side of the individual
be built up but, in addition,
gland therapy and specialized
psychological procedures, such
as psychoanalysis, are usually
indicated.
Nervousness, whatever it's
variety, does not suddenly jump
into being. Shocks, frights, un-
usual Worry-these and other
drains on nerve energy-may
precipitate a breakdown; that
is, constitute what might be
called "the straw that breaks
the camel's back" Yet in
practically every case, if it be
thoroughly studied, one discov-
ers faulty character traits that
often date back to earliest
childhood.
Children, therefore, should
be watched for signs of nerv-
business. Particular attention
should be directed toward pro-
nounced day-dreaming, disincli-
nation to play, a Shut-in and
a social attitude, unusual and
peculiar thinking and behavior.

How to Make
Tasty Waff|es

Lightness, and a beautifully
brown crispness, are qualities of
waffles made this way. Not

hold their crunchy goodness so
that they can be made one

cry one can be served without

Here's another point-waffle
