ELEANOR approved her figure
It was supple as her daughters
and her legs, in sheer silk, were
straight and graceful. The flesh

Eleanor never had subscribed to
the mode for tanned skin.
She stood before the pier glass
in her dressing room holding one
gown after another up to her. She
discarded a shimmering silver lace,
and the black velvet she would like
to have worn with her pearls. 1t
was late April and the nights were
warm, but not too warm for a
hearth fire in the dining and draw
ing rooms. She must look at them
and have them lighted at the right
moment.
Grace and Dennis were arriving
at seven thirty. She had asked
the Maltbys to arrive at seventh
teen. She did not want to find
herself alone with Dennis Pryor
before dinner.
The maid gave her a gown of
sea-green silk. Ske slipped into it.
The bodice chung to her. The skirt
fell away in soft folds that bill
lowed as she walked.

She brushed her long ash blond
hair until it shone, then arranged
it in a soft roll at the back of her
neck. She screwed a drip of sap

There was a discreet knock at
her door.
"Come," she said.
Phil came in. She looked at him
in the mirror as she applied a touch
of shadow to her eyelidS.
There was a slight suggestion
of q paunch at his waistline. His
shoulders sloped under his dinner
Jacket. She said: "Stand up
straight, Phil. Are you going to
make the cocktails? Or have you
told Perkins to?"
IT believe it has been arranged"

ing his answer as her secretary

He said: Whatever you say"
The table looked like an idealized
painting of a table. Crystal and
silver shone on a cloth of priceless
lace. Blood red velvety roses clus-
tered fragrantly between slender
candles set in girandolas that were
two hundred years old.
Eleanor looked at the menu she
had ordered. It was exactly right
A clear soup, thick steak, new
green vegetables, a salad with hot

The Blood ( Il; s'::s;:' I s:')
GREAT ADVANCES MADE

because he examined the blood of
number of robust peoples and a
.lumber of fat ladies, and he was
astonished to find that the proper
tionate number of red cells in all
was the same as his, in spite of the
fact that he so thin "und mayer
(hungry-looking) bin"
The second type of cells which he
saw were the white cells, which look
like the unicellular animals, such as
amoebae that are so beautifully pic
tured photographically in Professor
Buckbaum's new book, Animals
Without Backbone.
The third type of blood cell is the
platelet. It has to do with the clot-
ting of the blood.
Their Origin
It was wondered for a long time
where these cells came from. They
gorge the blood vessels, are lost in
hemorrhage and die off, but still new
ones come along to take their place.
Whence do they come? It was finally
determined that they came from the
marrow of the bones. That is the
manufacturing center for blood cells.
One of the new procedures which
are the result of the research men,
toned is to take piece of bone mar
row out Of a patient and examine it.
It is neat little operation that is
practically painless and consists in
sticking a hollow needle into the
center of the breast bone. It may
seem frightening but it yields great
and new funds of information for
the diagnosis and treatment of these
conditions.

FORTY years ago we thought we

few little things.
Then about Is years ago lew
field of research opened up. Today
I believe there is more good research
being done on the blood than in any
other field in medicine.
At the meeting of the American
College of Physicians in New Or.
leans in March, I noticed marked
attention in the papers as well as in
the exhibits to this subject.
The blood is the easiest of the in
ternal "organs" to examine. And
one has to consider the blood as an
organ, or rather, system. Suppose

WAS shocked the other day to
receive letter from a man living
not far from a thriving modern city
who said his wife had pernicious
anemia and that his doctors had told
him there was no cure for it.
It seemed like missive from the
Dark Ages. 1t seems impossible that
any modern doctor could make such
a statement. 1t seems even more i'm
possible that any doctor who could
make the diagnosis could make the
statement; yet, there it is.

iron is valuable in restoring the
blood volume. It stimulates the mar
row but in a different way.
Old Remedy
Iron is an old, old remedy which
has been given to pale (that is
anemic) patients for ages. But It
fell into almost universal disusa
about so years ago, and for two
curious reasons. One of the common
forms of anemia is that in young
girls, called green sickness. Its tech
nical name is "chlorosis." It was
very common so years ago, when the
world was not so. well nourished as
it is today, but in these times it is
quite a rarity. In the old DAYS
chlorosis could be cured absolutely
with very small doses of iron. When
it disappeared doctors kept giving
iron to anemia patients, but in the
same small doses, and they found it
did no good. 1t was only recently.
when it was discovered that to be
effective iron has to be given in very
large doses, that it became popular
in practice again.
So we have these two medical
remedies for anemia, liver and iron.
You see preparations on the market
which contain both, but such shot
gun mixtures are unscientifc. When
a patient needs liver extract, we
give him liver alone, and when he
needs iron, we give him iron alone.

ANIMAL experimentation in the
use of the ductless glands has often
obtained results that can not be du-

there are a good many disappoint-

Modern Opinions

much space to it now. Suffice it to
say that it come, on in attacks, that
attacks usually last about a year
and that if the patient" will be
patient" he may be assured he will
get over his troubles.
He might as well be patient be-
cause there is nothing known . to
limedical science that is certain to
shorten the attack. This includes
mineral water, treatment at resorts
or springs, electricity, massage or
manipulation, bee venom therapy,
injections of medicine in the veins,
vaccines, gold, sulphur, iontophore-
sis, artifcially induced fever, chaul-
moogra oil, diet, and many other
things.
Four Methods
In treatment only four methods
of treatment have been found to be
of any value.
-. Rest. This is the most i'm
portant. 1t may mean complete rest
In bed, or rest in bed with brief
daily periods of mild activity, or
rest of the affected part with
splints.
In prevention of this form of
arthritis the element of rest is very
important and should be empha-
sized. Many of these cases are due
to occupational misunderstanding

The amount requested IN the

10 congress almost doubled this
years record peaee-ume appro-
priations for military and naval
expenditures. Only IN the World
war years of l9l7-19 has the pro-
posed 1910 army and navy spend
ing been exceeded.
Warning that grave and I'M
settling developments" broad
have established real necessity
fer vast expansion of the national
defense system. Roosevelt urged
immediate appropriation of ST.
336 10000 for strictly military
and naval construction.
He said he later would ask
for an additional S290, 900 900
for military and naval contracts
TO be spent after june 80. 1910.
That sum would complete a $780,
900 900 supplemental defense pro-
gram beyond normal expendi-
lures. which he did not explain but
was expected TO in special mos
sage to congress next week.
Air Corps 10 Get Fund
He also requested other appro-
priations amounting to approx
mately $3.50 600 900 for such semi
military projects as the merchant
marine construction program, and
rivers and harbors improvement.
Roosevelts national defense bud
get calls for immediate appropria-
ton of $4,000, 900 of the pro-
posed $500 600, 900 supplemental
program. The remaining $500
600. 900. IT was believed, probably
would be devoted chiefly 10 ex-
panding the air corps.
Referring To the $500 900 900
mystery program. the president
said "A large part of additional
national defense expenditures
should. think. be placed in
special category on temporary

In addition, he asked for 1857

poses. and sl0,524 600 for main
