THE VOGUE OF SPECIAL
 AILMENTS

SRAASsAAS%NA0 v
 Sixty years ago an American novelist created the vogue for a great American atfectation. It was in 1878 that this writer of tales in which characters and actions protesting to represent those of real life are portrayed ill a plot" pulp lished a 109-page monograph with the alluring title-for those days of 'Fat and Blood: and How to Make Them"--thus Dr. s. Weir Mitchell popularized the concept of "neurasthenia" and the rest cure" sage, electricity and other pamper- prolonged rest in bed, with mas ings of the voluptuous.
 I believe the essential part of the rest cure, without the hocus-rocus, is an important part of the treat ment of certain diseases that too often drift along without proper treatment under the mask of 'neu- rasthenia a"-notably incipient pull monary tuberculosis and exoph- thalrnic goitre.
 The vogue of "neurasthenia" reached its peak in the gay nineties, then waned and became obsolete, along with most of the sanitariums and the nerve specialists" that had sprung up to cater to the horde of Class B neurotics among the par- venus of that epoch.
 Many genuine disease or con- plaints have had their vogue too. It is too late now to make certain about it, but even one who ridicules the idea of gout today must wonder whether there wasn't some such entity a century ago-sorne actual illness due to retention of uric acid or to deposits of mono-sodium- -urate in the tissues. True, there is no con- vincing evidence that such con- dition ever accounts for illness to- day-at least accurate chemical tests fail to sustain the theory in actual practice. But still the meta bolism of our great grandfathers may have been on a different level from our metabolism; certainly their diet through the winter was far less adequate for the requirements of nutrition than is our diet the year around.
 Then there's croup. Why, even in my time spasmodic croup has be- come so rare that it is rather unique, although in my early days in general practice a good propor- tion of night calls came from par ents whose children were i'll of croup. I ascribe the passing of croup to the steadily increasing intelligence of the laity in regard to fresh air, ventilation and the communica- bility of the cri (any and all Com mon Respiratory Infections-pur-

porting to be slight colds" sore throat, cough, hoarsenesS, etc.), and to the fact that few halfway in- telligent folk today fear night air" Whether the growing popularity of supplementing the diet of infant or child with essential vitamins is a factor I am unable to say, but I believe vitamin D tends to prevent not only croup but enlarged ton- sils and adenoids and the too con1- mon respiratory infections.
 Cake and Pie Too?
 Tn case of gall bladder trouble what foods are to be taken and what foods to be avoided? Can cod liver ail and irradiated yeast tablets be taken without distress? (H. A. s.
 Answer-No such diet lists are worth considering. Why should any one want to take cod liver oil and irradiated yeast tablets, too? Irradi- ated yeast tablets furnish the sun- shine vitamin D in pleasant form and make cod liver oil unnecessary, in my opinion.

 Gauge Laws by Age
 In all homes certain rules should be made known. There are things to be done and things not to be done. This is law. These laws should be right. For instance, we can't expect the tiny tot to keep his hands off the shiny vase, when it looks just the same to him as his toy. He likes color and glitter, and he won't be able to tell what is forbidden and what is his legitimate loot. He isn't able to select, you see, and thus

he is not ready for the same disci- pline as his older brother.
 Age is the first consideration in teaching children good conduct. We older people have habit of wishing our own standards on young chill dren, who have not the advantage of experience. It is not quite fair, is it?
 Tn every house there should be a general understanding about rules. For instance, beds are not to be torn up or muddied with shoes at any time. And the dog must not be hurt or tramped on. No hand shall push on wire screens, and doors are not to be slammed. There are dozens of things that should carry their owa1 rules with them.
 Very well. Such small matters seem nconse1uential, but they are sure themes for discipline. There are the touch-nots, the do-notS and the walk-easys, Around such unin- portant items is character built.
 And there are the dos, surely not to be ignored. These positive habits are always the hardest to instill. Washing hands before din- ner takes longer to establish than mot" gurgling into the water glass. To be on time at the table takes longer to establish than mot" talking" with the mouth full.

 Yourself

 The next time you decide that you are just plain tired Of being told to do your exercises regularly, eat much less than you actually want and 50 otl, you might renaenl" ber what some teacher told you years ago when you said you hated to study.
 She said-in effect-''You won't be hurting anyone except yCur+ self if you don't learn this sub- ject." Didn't she?
 And the same thought is applica- ble to your beauty routines. You are the one who suffers when skin isn't clear, hair shining and when you don't feel especially well. You are the one who will mind most the fact that your figure no longer is supple, slender, youthful. Your family and friends may get used to the idea that you are heavier, less graceful, and, of course, will like you just as much as they did before. But you won't like yourself quite as much. You'll always re- sent-a little, anyway-the extra poundage, fact that you let your youthfulness slip away all too rap- idly.
 You may not be beautiful, or even pretty, but you can be at- tractive. Any woman can. It's merely a matter of making a habit of each and every little rou- tine she knows she ought to do. We all acquire habits, and it's really no more difficult to culti- vate good ones than bad ones.
 Do a few lmbering and Stretch- ing exercises for five minutes every morning for ten days, and, at the end of that time, notice how much less you dread them. If you haven't skipped a single morning, you have laid the foull- dation for a good habit. Keep on for two months, and the habit will be pretty well set. You'll not only look and feel better, but you will no longer frown when the subject of exercises is mentioned.
 Brush your hair every night for two weeks. Get into the habit of brushing your clothes when you take them of, again just be- fore you put them on. Cleanse your face thoroughly before you go to sleep. Really use regularly that night cream you bought months ago, then forgot about. Remember, you won't be hurting anyone but yourself if you don't do these things.

 Few orders should be entirely inf1exible, taking child limits into consideration, but there they should be, just the same. Children really like rules. They feel important and safe under a stsadJing hand, and they depend on it. The lax house gives no feeling of stability. (Copyrigt, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

drivers, it means that Washington boys
better hurry up and get their entries
in and start to work. All sorts of
prizes will go to the big winners. And
elsewhere on this page you will find

lot of fun for everybody.
Buddy, now that this foolishness is
over. Is going to work and finish his
racer. He had to cover it with cheese
cloth for the picture yesterday. But
he plans to streamline it and try to
beat the record set last year by Bobby

John Nance Garner, Vice President
The American Legion soap box
race this summer as contestant.
This was definitely confirmed yes
terday in the Vice Presidents Office
at the Capitol, reasons being advanced
by spokesman for the Vice Presi-
dent as follows:
/. The Vice President has not built
derby racer.
2. The Vice President has passed
his 10th birthday anniversary.
3. The Vice President will be in
Uvalde, Tex, hunting or fishing or
counting the cows on his new ranch,
or refraining from giving interviews
with the newspapers when the derby
is held here in Washington in July.
But he asked yesterday that he be
represented by proxy in the races next
month. That is, the Vice President
told reporter for The Star that he
could say anything he wanted to about
him. provided the reporter did not
quote Inn directly
Derby Swell Stunt
So the. reporter is going to take
this opportunity. The Vice Presi-
dent indicated that he thought the
derby was q excellent stunt and urged
all qualified boys to enter and to
get the details by reading The Star.
The Vice President limited" that next
to bing Vice President he would rather
be IL years old building derby racer
himself. TIE Vice President pre-
sumably' thought that Washington
and the United States would be a
better place for everybody to live in
If everybody was IL years old building
a deby racer. Beyond that he would
say nothing for publication. and as
matter of strict fact he didn't even
say that.
So, why did the Vice President pose
with Buddy Combs. II, 1929 Jef1er-
son street NV: Billy Eacho, IA, 1900
Plymouth street NV: Ray Haight,
-, 62l Oneida street NV, and John
Caswell, 13, 1901 Park Side drive
NV, for a picture about the Soap
Box Derby?
The answer to that is that the Vice
President did 1t because The Star and
the American Legion asked him to
because he likes boys, and because
he's pretty good sort of a Vice
President and likes to help anybody
along
Work on Racer Speede.1.
And he will never know what a job
it was getting that picture posed.
Buddy Combs, The Star found Friday,
had almost finished his derby racer.
So The Star called Buddy and c. E.
Combs, manual training instructor at
the Paul Junior High School, and
asked them please to finish the racer
quick SO the Vice President could pose
with it yesterday. They said they
would. And they finished it-enough
for the picture, anyway-five minutes
before Star truck called for the
racer early yesterday morning and
rushed it to the Capitol Buddy and
his pals went along
The Vice President saw the boys
