FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

SCORE: After reporting
sports for q number Of years,
Journalist Haywood Broun be-
came o drama critic.
He attended the opening per-
Torrance Of a ballet troupe.
During one dance the premiere
hallerina kept throwing q bal
loon to the other dancers. who
would catch Il and carry It back
20 her.
When It was over. Q friend
whispered to Broun:
How did you like the dane
1ng?"
Il can't say" replied Broun.
Il was too busy figuring the
fielding averages.
VACATION: One night, when
Thomas Edison returned home
from his laboratory, where he
had worked for days without
ietup, MS vile said:
you must stop working so
hard. I insist that you take a
vacation"
But where shall / go?" asked
the inventor.
That's for you to decide. .
she said. Choose the place
where you would rather be than
anywhere else in the world and
60 there"
IAN right" said Edison. "ITl
leave In the morning"
The following morning. after
breakfast. he returned to his
laboratory.

animation. Il don't do It to

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Bed Can Be Mans Friend or Foe
81 pR. RfTfR J. srElNcRohN

The bed can be mans enemy
Is well as his friend. We doc
tors have lately been revising
our estimates Of the actual need
for prolonged bed-rest; not only
In surgical patients. but in those
suffering from medical all
Iments
Many readers win recall how
strict surgeons used 70 be about
keeping their patients In bed
for weeks after an appended
tony. hernia operation, gall
bladder surgery and many other
surgical treatments. Two weeks
lin bed after q simple, incom-
Iplicated appendix operation was
q routine AFFAIR. Hindsight tells
US that patients. who kept pest
ering US to get out Of bed within
. week after such operations,
had more sense than we did.
The war taught Us that excess
sive bed-rest was not only
lnnecessary--but II often pro-
l0nged convalescense and In
vited complications like phle-
bits. in. the legs and pulmonary
embolism.
Lately. we medical men have
also discovered the unwisdom
of shackling our patients TO
their beds. Following an attack
lof coronary thrombosis some
physicians allow their patients
10 be ''chair-treated" from the
second or third day. instead Of
keeping them bed-prisoners Tor
weeks and months like we used
TO.
You must remember that the
final decision should be your
own doctors. Most Of us doc
tors are aware that the bed. in
treatment. is perhaps not as
important as It used to be.
