Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN:

DERSONS who enjoy i'll health are unfortunate Tor
/ themselves and for those about them. Even the
physician would like to avoid them
Hypochondriasis has been called the most foolish
and at the same time the SaddeSt of all diseases
No one Is perfectly healthy. Even those persons
whose pictures you see in the physical culture maya
zines swelling the muscles and detyng the hgntnng
have aches and pains The vast majority OF persons
however, have thresholds of lrrltaton-that Is 10
saw the minor things do not disturb them They
pay no attention to themselves as long as they can
do their daily work and be unaware of their bodies
during times of both work and recreation.
There is no fear so dismaying as the fear OF dis
ease So long as We are unaware of pains, we are
bigger than they are. Eventually. however. when
pain breaks into the consciousness, we become sub
lect 10 the pain.
ONE of the greatest assets in overcoming fear Of
~ any kind Is knowledge. Thus. We have the old
saving that familiarity breeds contempt. The man
who knows disease is not afraid OF it.
To the hypochondrac, every cough means
warning of consumption. To the informed indlvld-
ual. cough is merely a symptom Of tremendous
number OF conditions only few Of which are Sc
Tious
This does not mean, however, that you should
disregard any kind of symptom.
WE know today that symptoms of various kinds
w are the means by which nature you
that something is wrong with your body machine
Again the reaction of the normal individual to any
kind Of symptom If he is intelligent, is not reac-
ton Of alarm but merely a signal for investigation
The intelligent and courageous man, who hears
a noise in his house during the night. knows that
IN the vast majority of cases il is merely the effects
OF the wind, OF climatic changes, or of some ordinary
manifestation He, therefore. coolly investigates be-
fore calling the police
The alarnist or hypochondracal individual takes
every sound for an invasion OF burglars or the be-
ginning Of an explosion, and constantly subjects

the Camerons do it wei and their
material always appears spOnta-
neous.
The Chester Hale Girls show
the results of splendid training.
The costumes in all numbers are
beautiful and the girls in the en-
semble numbers work in perfect
agreement. The Lee Calls are
magnificent ballroom and aero
batic dancers. Their idea Of the
Apache dance is drawing roars Of
applause, especially when Lee
throws his partner into the or
chestra pit. 1t is all in fun and
no damage is done. The Calls
form a splendidly trained dance
team.
The sensation Of the revue is
Helen Homan, who gives impress
sions of Hollywood stars. The very
best impressions Of Mae West and
Zasu Pitts are offered by Miss
Honam. Her Mae West is al
most on a par with the original
as to voice, walk and appearance.
Miss Honam is a genius.

CTRAIGHTWAY, mimick1ng
~ clown in a harlequinade, he
tapped the doorpost with his fist,
then tremendously lay down
across the step, ready for some
one within to hustle out and tum-
BILE over him. Then he arose Sc
dately and went on with his
abashed acquaintance.
Still this man who often was
one with the "divine lunatic" in
Nicholas Nickleby" was, Crotch
maintains, "the interpreter, the
guide and, may add, the pro-
phet and teacher of the English
people, not only for his own gen.
Grafton but for now and all time.
He had an intuitive understand
ing of their character, an insight
into their mentality and lively
consciousness of their faults that
no one in the whole range of
literature had possessed save and
except William Shakespeare.
His novels are as full of moral
significance, as fresh and power
full in their warning mandates, as
timely in their criticism, at once
so genial and so effective, as when
they were first penned three
quarters of century ago, and as
they will be a century hence"

IT'S style, of course, is dated.
l. l. He described degradation,
but not as Caldwell or Heming-
way or James M. Cain would to-
day. It pleased him, he said, never
to have written a book unsuited
for the eyes of a child.
In his Victorian time the day
of completely reported vernacular
was three-quarters of a century
away.
Yet harsh truth, in the form of
fiction, he told with biting effec-
tivenesS.

He loved his children dearly
and more than one of them died,
but in sorrows like these there is
no violence and, above all, no
shame. The end of life is not
tragic like the end of love. And by
the 10000 comedies I mean the
whole texture of his life, his let
tiers, his conversation, which we're
one incessant carnival of insane
and inspired improvisation.
80 far as he could prevent it
he never permitted a day of his
life to be ordinary.
There was always some prank,
some impetuous hospitality and
some sudden disappearance.
1T is related of him that in his
last visit to America, when he
was already Keeling, as it were,
under the blow that was to be
mortal, he remarked quite casual
ly to his companions that row
of painted cottages looked ex-
actly like the painted shops in a
pantomime.

Telling it in 1849-When he was
37-he reached what is generally
regarded as the high point Of his
fame. He worked all that year
at Bonchurch, in the Isle of

summer at Brighton-on David

life story. The fervor he puts into
it is plain in a note he sent at
the time to a sub-editor::
"I am in that tremendous par
oxysm, having my most powerful
effect in all the story on the anvil,
that you might as we'll ask me to
manufacture a cannon seventy
four pounds as to do anything

What he meant, undoubtedly,
was that he was writing the I'M

ample, was the product of an evo-
LUTON during which at different
times he was Sweegleden, SWee-
zleback, SWeezlewag, Chuzzletoe,
Chuzzleboy, Chubblewig and Chuz-
zlewig. And David Copperfeld
evolved, at the end of long line,
from David Mag.
The people who in his time
read him, esteemed him more for
such characterizations than they
did for his underlying sociology.
