FACTS AND FANCIES
How Old Are Picnics

Have you ever stopped to wonder
just how long people have been 60
ing on picnics? Our early ances-
tors ate practically all of their
meals in the open, but it is doubt
full if they considered them as pic
MICS. The following explanation
regarding the early use of the term
picnic" is found in Brewers Die
tionary of Phrase and Fable:
Picnic word came into
use in England about 1900 to de-
note a fashionable party, often, but
not always, in the open air, at
which each guest contributed
toward the provisions. 1t is a
translation of French (pique-nique)
which had the same meaning, the
origin of which is uncertain"
Another interesting account hav-
ing to do with the early origin of
picnics is found in "Notes and
Queries, published in 1852, 1t
states as follows:

Annual Register, has been marked

Jealousy
Ruins Life
Was Clever Enough
TO Hide 1t Until
After Wedding
BY VIRGINIA LEE

ON THE SUBJECT or jealous
hus bands and boy friends, INTER
ESTED has this to say:
7 married a man who was just
clever enough to conceal his true
nature until after we were mar
ried. Then Immediately the green
eyed monster reared its head.
For 25 years my life was liv-
ing Hades. 1 had to stop going
anywhere. In % years all the
recreation l had could have been
crowded into one year. He was
dominating and domineering to
the children and myself, always
taking more than his share of
everything. Was constantly ca
ressing me and telling me how
much he loved me.
He was socially impossible,
never showing other women the
small courtesies which mean so
much. He loved no one but him
self. We have never had a home,
and never can have one where he
is-just a house"
Well, what can a poor girl Tor
boy) do when such selfish and jeal-
Gus people are just clever enough
to conceal their dreadful faults
until after they are wed? We will
still have to take a chance when
we marry, guess.
But you can bank on this: That
IA Jealous person - inordinately
jealous. that isis selfish. He
thinks more of himself or herself
than he does of the one Of whom
he is SO jealous. 1t is a form of
egotism, and one who is troubled
with it-as many very good people
are-should make very earnest
effort to realize that fact and over
come it. How? By assuring him
self that he is being unreasonable
and that he has no just cause for
his5 feelings; and by striving for
balance and confidence in himself
so that he fears nothing.
blonde: AS a general thing
I do not believe it is wise for two
young people of different religions
to wed because religion means so
much to people that they cannot
be tolerant about it. I do not
know what the marriage customs
concerning rings are in the faith
you ask about. Those of different
nationalities may wed. if there is
no national intolerance. In fact,
] think such a marriage might help
both to take a more international
view of the world, and so be help
full. But that, of course, depends
upon the individuals. Narrow
minded people would not be likely
to profit from such a union.
The groom does not pay any eX-
penses Of the wedding except the
flowers for the bride and his own
mother, the fee to the minister, and
also for the license, of course, and
the ring. Also a present for the
bride, usually, and for the best
man. After the wedding he pays
the expenses of the honeymoon, Of
course.

GARDEN-GRAPH
BY DEAN HALLIDAY
Registered. 1886. bv Central Press Association

MANY GARDEN lilies can be
propagated from the tiny bulblets
about the parent bulb. When plan
ming to dig lily bulbs to obtain the
btilblets or bulb scales, do not
leave them out of the ground, but
Immediately replant them, for the
bulblets start growth and form
roots quickly, as shown in Fig. 2
of the above Garden-Graph.
The bulblets should be planted
base downward and about two
inches deep, set out singly, as
shown in Fig. 1. The ideal soil for
propagating lily bulblets consists
of a sandy loan we'll mixed with
peat or leaf mold.

Poems That Live

From "The Complete Angler"
/ in these flowery meads would be,
These crystal streams should solace
me;
To whose harmonious bubbling
noise
I, with my angle, would rejoice,
Sit here, and see the turtle-dove
Court his chaste mate to acts of
love;
Or, on that bank, feel the west
wind
Breathe health and plenty; please
my mind,
To see sweet dewdrops kiss these
flowers,
And then washed off by April
showers;
Here, hear my Kenna sing a
song:
There, see a blackbird feed her
young.
Or a laverock build her nest;
Here, give my weary spirits rest,
And raise my low-pitched thoughts
above
Earth, or what poor mortals love Il:
Thus, free from lawsuits, and
the noise
OF princes courts, | would re-
joice;
Or, with my Bryan and book,
Loiter long days near Shawford
brook;
There sit by him, and eat my meat;
There see the sun both rise and

There bid good morning to next

There mediate my time awayjG
And angle on; and beg to have
A quiet passage to a welcome

Americas Most Famous Beauty
MOST WOMEN have the idea
that manicuring and nail care are
strictly products of recent genera
tions. but that is a totally falla-
cious belief. For even back in the
era when ancient Rome was in its
prime, the wealthy patrician wom-
en- had slaves to manicure their
nails and pedicure their tootsies.
| OF course. there is no comparison
between the crude methods used
/ in those days and the scientific
knowledge Of manicuring generally
/ known today. But it is interesting
to know that even in that long
distant age. tie necessity Of nail
care was recognized.
Today, of course, the average
! American lass has science to guide
her in the care and Identification
of her nails. The average girl can
CLEAN advice on proper nail care
from reliable newspapers and mag
azines. She can get advice on the
care of her nails at the beauty
shop she patronizes. And because
she is intelligent and wants tC
! look attractive, she utilizes all such
/ advice, and tries her best to keen
/ her nails always perfectly groomed
Need Extra Care
However, despite the good sense
the average lass employs in regard
/ to her nails. few seem to realize
that they require extra care during
! the summertime. The nails neec
protection from the suns rays
/ from the summer elements, Just as
well as the skin, eyes and hair
And while it may seem odd that
those horny finger decorations
should need protection when wom'
zen have used them as a means oi
self-protection for centuries, it's
true just the same.
In the first place, hands usually
are washed very frequently during
the hot, sticky weather. So many
ablutions extract oil from The
/ fngertips. Frequent bathing il
ocean or lake water extracts more
and the hot rays of the sun remove
their quota Of oil, too. AS a result
the nails often become dry anC
brittle. They split, break anc
peel And the hands become most
unattractive in appearance.
The thing to do it to give youl
+ fngertips plenty Of fabrication
during the hot weather Always
/ before going in swimming, or after
+ cleansing the hands, apply a BIZ
of cold cream or olive oil to your
f finger nails. A good, heavy polish
will also protect them somewhat
In addition, nightly applications oi
some good grease should be made
It's excellent to soak the fingertips

MOLLY HAS the measles, and
ner doctor says that she must have
some medicine. She is five.
I'm sorry, Molly" mother says,
as she approaches little Molly with
The bottle and the empty spoon
Molly drops her doll as if she had
been shot, screams, and runs away
enraged. Her mother follows her
TOO bad, my dear, but the doc
tor says that you must have this
to get well. Come, take it for your
mother; be a nice girl. now"
MOI Molly shouts. and kicks
the wall and bumps her head. The
more the mother coaNes the louder
Molly screams. At last the mother
with an aching heart, surrenders.
In a few days Molly Goes not seem
so well, and the doctor comes
again.
Go on with that medicine" he
says.
But, doctor, Molly viii not take
the medicine" his face grows red;
he burns inside with rage. But

teously: Why waste my time and
waste your money just to fool
YOURSELF"
I'm really sorry for this mother
for she thought that she had done
the best she could; her heart was

Makes 1t Hard for Child
How many a mother makes 1t
hard for her child to profit from
the advice given by the best physi-
Giant No one knows how many lit
tie lives are lost because Of foolish
practices like that Of Moilys
mother Certainly more little ones
are lost from their refusal to take
medicine than from too long delay
in calling the doctor.
Has medicine been prescribed by
your doctor for your baby? Then
see that she takes 1t. Proceed as
if you were helping the child put
on her stockings. or unite a knot
in her shoe lace. without sugges-
ton of fear or failure. Don't get
excited if the child refuses. Don't
coax or threaten her. Don't let
your voice rise. Say nothing. Put
the medicine away and, unless
there is an emergency. wait for 10
or Is minutes. Then have another
adult help. Let him pour the med
icine into a spoon, not seen BY the
child: after which you will quietly
but firmly seize the child, restrain
her struggles while your assistant
puts the medicine as quickly and
as deftly into the child as possible.
No words are necessary.
Do likewise the next time this
child should have medicine, and SO
continue until she requests tc be
allowed to take it Of her own ac-
cord. Parents with good sPines
reed have no misery like the mis-
cry of Molly and her mother over
medicine. Proceed in like fashion

How X-ray
Diagnoses
Stomach Ill
Does 1t Positively
Distinguish Ulcer
from Cancer2
~ LOGAN CLENDENING, M. ID.

by LOGAN CLENDENlNG' M. ID.
THE QUESTION is asked me
Does an X-ray picture prove posi-
lively whether a stomach disorder
is an ulcer or a cancer? That is,
from the picture, can doctor de-
eide whether it is an ulcer of a
cancer?"
The word positively" makes this
question hard to answer. There is
uncertainty in every diagnostic
procedure. None of them can be
said to be positive" in all cases.
That is why SO many are employed
in order to confirm each other.
Not long ago there was intro
duced a new instrument which
photographs the inside of the
stomach. If the X-ray had proved
100 per cent positive in all cases,
there would have been no need for
this instrument.
The X-ray is, however, frequent
!y positive and final in its decision
about organic disease of the
stomach.
The diagnosis is made by intro.
ducing a milky solution of a sub.
stance, barium, which throws
shadow on the X-ray plate. The
milky solution fills the stomach, sc
that when the X-ray picture is taxi
en- it shows practically a mold OF
cast of the stomach.
Smooth When Normal
If the stomach is normal, this
cast or outline will be smooth. Al
ulcer causes a slight crater to pen.
citrate into the wall of the stomach
and if this happens to be on the
upper or lower edge there is al
lndentation seen in the outline OF
these parts. If, however, the ulcer
is on the posterior wall, the barlun
will cover it, and there will be nc
change in the outline of the stom.
ach contour.
In general, probably about one
out of four (25 per cent? of ulcers
can be demonstrated.
In many instances of ulcer, how
ever, there is irritation at the point
of outlet of the stomach, and a -.
tention of the meal in the stomach
longer than six hours. This Is one
of the suspicious or confirmatory
signs of ulcer. The diagnosis can.
not be positively" made, as my
correspondent asks, but in conjunc.
tion with other symptoms, signs
and tests, it is added weight
The diagnosis of cancer of the
stomach is dependent upon much
the same conditions. Instead OF
being an indentation, cancer is
likely to be an outgrowth, which
breaks the smooth outline one eX
poets in the normal stomach. Ii
so happens that cancer, more Otter
than ulcer, grows in such a way
that it will show on the X-ray. II
general, about three out of fouI
cancers (75 per cent? can be posi-
lively identified by the X-ray alone
In all cases, however, the pa
TENTS symptoms. the study of the
secretions of the stomach, anc
other tests have to be taken into
account in a diagnosis, to which
the X-ray is contributory.
