If the taxpayer would vote for those

such fearful taxes. When the. taxpayers
vote for township and village officials,
they do usually vote for such men, and the

Your Health
= BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

THE conduct of your family life depends great
u deal on its freedom from illness and fatigue
This problem is great that it has concerned not
only physicians, but Socologists and psychologists
and all those responsible for maintaining the status
of civilization
Since the mother is usually the center of family
life, the condition of her health is probably funda-
mental. She really is the engineer who runs the
family machine the father no doubt being the pro-
wider of the fuel for the operation of the machine
and the remaining members of the family those who
benefit by its operation.
If the mother is constantly overworked con-
Stanty fatigued and constantly driven by stress and
strain, ali family relationships likely to suffer
Inc 1000 may be inadequate the clothing of the
other members of the family not in proper repair
or in proper state of cleanliness the home itself
dlsordered and disturbed.
FURTHERMORE, constant physical strain is
bound to reflect itself in mental rritability and
thus bring about dssension and response on
the part of all members of the family.
All aspects of the health of the mother are inten-
sifed by certain periods in her life During the
period of child bearing and during those functional
periods when the womanS entire physiology changes,
stresses and strains likely to be particularly
severe.
On such occasions, it is the duty of the other
members to guard the health of the family by taking
from her such burdens may be assumed by them
and avoiding mental clashes which leave those in
volvec exhausted and trembling.
After the mother has passed middle age, she
should have physical examination at least once

results Of wear and tear the heart and on the
kidneys and also the possibility of tunor growths in
the breasts or in the organs concerned with child
birth.
1t has been definitely established that such pre-
cautionary examinations will save vast numbers Of
lives and in addition will prolong greatly the lives Of
many women.
VXTHILE the health of the mother is exceedingly

ton.
The result would be to isolate
China by showing the Chinese
that they have no real friends in
the west, that they can not resist
Japan which successfully has told
all the rest of the world to keep
its hands off.
This may break the resistance of
the Chinese and cause them to
surrender and accept terms die
tated in Toxic. Once the Chinese
government accepts the japanese
policy there will be little that the
outer world can do about it.
In shaping our policy there are
certain basic considerations to be
taken into account. Unlike Great
Britain, Russia, France, we have
no special interests on the ASiatic
mainland. We are withdrawing
from the Philippines. Thus in the
whole great region in which Japan
claims predominance we have no
particular political interests of our
own to protect.
