PINK CLOVER

There's a gay fashion which Wo-
men everywhere have made their
oWn-pink clover. This sweet, fresh
perfume of clover fields at dawn
permeates a complete sequence Of
beauty accessories delightful to give
and to receive.
There is perfume in a tall slender
bottle under a shimmering transpar-
ent cylinder There are dainty
lover-&pangled pink boxes OF bath
powder, talcum face power, soap,
and BOTTLES cleverly mace in the
shape of a clover leaf. Even COM
pacts sparkle with simulated gold
en- spray of decorative clover leaves.

to instruct the public, that health
itself is determined by the bowel
activity. How thoroughly this OBJ
session permeates the popular mind
is indicated by the common custom
of resorting to physics or cathartics
of one kind or another in the first
aid or home treatment of whatever
ails the individual-an obsession
that spells DEATH in too many in
stances, early appendicitis, for one.
In my own early practice, as
matter of routine, 1 instituted treat
ment generally with course OF
calomel and salts, as I had been
taught to do, with vague idea OF
Riding the patients system OF
something or other-and only wheu
l tried to get clearly in mind just
what this something or other might
be did I begin to doubt the wisdom
of plying patients indiscriminately
with cathartics. However, that was
the customary method then. Today,
it is pleasant to note, few If any
physicians follow the old time plan
Physicians today administer or pre-
scribe catharticS only in exceptional
instances. After all, no one with q
fundamental knowledge of human
physiology can seriously entertain
the idea that there is anything par
ticularly poisonous or injurious in
the portion Of the food that remains
as residue after the nutrinet portion
has been digested and absorbed.
Nor can any one who knows any
thing about physiology take serious
ly the morbid fancy that any ma
terial thrown off OF eXcreted by
stomach or intestine is likely to be
reabsorbed or, even if any of it
should be reabsorbed from the in
testine, that it would be injurious
or poisonous.
From long experience l know how
far these assurances are from COR
vincing confirmed victims of the
constipation habit that they are
victims OF bad habit only and ns,1
an ailment or disease. From long
experience, too, know that good
many such victims are willing at
least to listen to another suggestion,
namely, that functional weakness
is accountable for the habit in
great many cases. In following
talk We'll consider the nature, cause
and prevention or correction of this
inherent weakness.

WEAKNESS AND BAD HABIT

In all fairness, / say, we must
concede that certain kind of weak
ness, which I will consider presently,
is factor OF the constipation habit
in many If not most cases. But this
concession, 1 hope, will not detract
from the assertion that constipation
is a bad habit, not a disease or all
ment.
There is a common belief that
certain good wholesome foods which
ought to be included in everybody s
daily diet, such as cheese and milk,
are binding" and hence should be
avoided. Actually all wholesome
foods are more or less laxative, if
any food can be called laxative. The
notion that cheese or milk is bind
ing" probably arises from the fact
that little undigested residue re-
mains in the intestine when cheese
or milk. is the sole article of diet
and SO the excavations are normally
less bulky and frequent than when
the diet includes considerably undi-
gestible material. Coupled with this
notion is the obsession, fostered by
nostrums and quacks for lions
before ethical physicians ventured

However, there's no surplus OF
wool. either. The u. S. Army Quar-
termaster Corps already requires
500,000,000 pouuos OF wool for sol
diers and the prospect Is that the
supply must be increased.
Despite the governments demand,
the new Wool-aaVing suits for men
probably won't start making their
appearances until autumn. This re-
suits from the fact that spring and
summer models were ordered and
put into production before the in
dustry went on its "all-out-for-

But, when the warning came. de-
signers and taiiorS responded with
a brisk clacking OF their shears.
