7 KNOW more successful frus-
Il trated men than you can
shake a stick at, though ! hope
you do not ask me how many
that is because I really do not
know.
It is just one Of those express
sions that I picked up some
where and-sttek in now and
then 10 make me sound col
loquial. i sometimes say. you
can bet "ali the tea in China"
but / understand there is not a
great deal of tea in China now
so that does not mean much,
either.
WHAT do mean by a sue
w cessful frustrated man?
Well, know many men who
are quite successful from a
financial standpoint at what
they are now engaged, but they
would be much happier doing
something else less remunera-
tive.
l know the head of a vast
advertising agency who COM
mandS an income of six figures
yet who feels that he was cut
out to be an author and should
write novels. He cannot find
time TO write novels and run
the advertising agency, too;
and as the agency outweighs
the writing financially, he has
abandoned all idea of a literary
career in favor of the business
angle.
He is a successful frustrated
man because he will always feel
that he might have written
great stuff and all his life he
has yearned for that kind of
fame. Were he single, l think
he would quit his job in a
minute and hide away some
where with a typewriter. and
he as joyous as iaybird at
MS writing.
Or is a jaybird joyous?
Maybe l am thinking of a lark.
But as a married man he is
geared TO certain expenses that
he could not meet as writer.
Besides, his wife would not give
up her current luxury and her
jewels and her furs and what
not just so the guy could seek
happiness. She would think him
a daffydill TO suggest such a
thing, She might be right.
IVES, there comes a time in
L the life of many a man when
he looks around and sees that
he is successful at his business
or profession, but realizes that
what he is doing is not the thing
he wanted to do. and just as he
is about to say oh shucks to all
this, and take his kady and de-
part, he remembers Harriet. His
good wife Harriet. Then he
sighs heigh-ho and picks up his
oar again and resumes pulling.

TIVE kidney normally moves
L with breathing and when
the position Of The body is
changed. However, this move
ment Is slight. Sometimes, the
kidney may be so movable that
the condition causes symptoms.
This disorder is known as NOV
able kidney. II occurs most
often In grownup women be-
tween the ages OF 20 and 40. but
occasionally, also, develops in
men. The right kidney is more
often Affected than the left one.
In rare instances, both kidneys
are affected.
When the kidney moves too
much, II may cause sudden at
tacks OF pain IN the abdomen
which often are quite severe.
The distance the kidney moves
Is not measure OF the amount
OF pain which may develop. lust
as a small kidney stone may
cause much more pam than
large one.
BECAUSE Of the symptoms
- which occur N a movable
or floating kidney in the past il
has been difficult 10 make an
accurate diagnosis. According
TO DR. Clyde l.. Deming Of Con-
Cticut, between the years 1900
I'D 1910, surgical operations for
liking the kidney in position
were almost as often as for re-
moval Of the appendix. OF
course. in many instances this
operation was unnecessary.
Hence, the operation became in
disrepute.
The pain OF movable kidney
comes on gradually, often in
women while they are perform
ing their usual household duties.
Some Of the women cannot
sweep, lift or reach for objects
above their heads. Others, after
working all day, have a tired
feeling in their side, which after
few days or weeks, may be-
come so aggravated that they
have 10 stop their work early in
the afternoon. The pain is AL
most always more severe when
the patient is standing than
when sitting or lying down.
