IHEUMATIC FEVER AS A CAUSE 0F BBHIN DISEASE

lb: many yous we have known that rheumatic fever-childhood’: greatest enemy-was caused in most cases by an infected throat, usually infected tonsils. As the rheumatic fever did not occur until some weeks after the throat infec- Ltion, the latter often was forgotten as a probable cause. Today, how- ever, physicians now watch tonsils or fragments of tonsils closely and, where pus is present. the tonsils or tags are removed. for rheumatic ‘Jever is the cause of inany cases of heart. disease in middle age.

It may come to many of us as :1 ‘purprise to learn that rheumatic fever,‘ in addition to causing heart disease, also may be the cause of rheumatic brain disease.

in the “Journal of the American Medical Association," Dr. W. L. Breutsch states that among 500 unselected examinations of bodies after death at the Central Hospital. Indianapolis, rheumatic heart dis- ease was found in 5 per cent (1 in 20). Dr. Breuisch considers this about the average percentage in the same latitude. Examination of the brain of these patients with rheumatic heart disease revealed that the blood vessels in the brain ‘of a number of these heart pat- ients had bcen affected by rheuma-

tic fever. which had closed or partly closed them. Unfortunately, this rheumatic

infection of ihc brain may not oc- cur or show symptoms for months 0r even years after the acute attack of rheumatic fever, zit a tbzne when the person apparently is enjoying good health. This late rheumatic fever effect upon the brain ls not uncommon in middle life. and may be responsible in a number of agcd patients for psychoses - illusions, dEliBlOflS. depression, double per- eonality and others.”

Dr. Breutsch slates that the dis- covery. after death, that 9 per cent of the patients with (leinenila pric- nox lliving in a dream state or liv- ing a. life that suits the patient. but is not suitable for everyday life) lhowed signs of rheumatic infection involving the brain as well as the heart, raises the question as to the possibility of the infection being the cause oi’ dementia praecox in n

THE FORK IN THE GBAVEYABD

By Uncle loo

Not long after the year I772, Peter Maclntyre. a Scotch emigrant who had arrived in Tracadie aboard the ship Alexander. was comfort- ably seated among a group of his countrymen. The men were sitting close to the open fireplace, for on that late October night it was cold, with a fine Scotch mist blowing in from the sea.

Most people in those days were superstitious and believed in ghosts,

witches, fairies and the like. In- deed every evil that came upon them could, so they fancied, be

traced to the supernatural.

According to‘ the custom of the times, the men soon fell to telling ghost stories—-the kind that made the hairs on one‘s head stand up like the bristling mane of a dog that suddenly comes upon a strange cat. The night being young, the men talked on and on.

Finally somebody mentioned hav- ing seen a llght in the old French burying place at Scotch Fort. It was a huge ball of fire that danced about the graves and lighted up the place like broad daylight.

“Pure imagination," said Macin- tyrc. lic was one of the few present who did not believe in such things. "Why, I'll just as lief walk through the old cemetery tonight as smoke this licre pipe. That I would. I've lived pretty nigh uii- lo half u century and dcvil the thing I've cver seen worse lhun I'm looking ut this very minute."

"It's uli well and good to boast undraiitlike lliat when ye'rc in the company of others," said one of

At twelve o'clock Peter liiacln» t_yrc rose from his chair, put on his long black rnin slicker and, with a linyfork grasped firmly in his right hand, set out for the French burying plaice.

Next morning iho lltile settle- ment of 'l‘i'acadle was in a dither. People were running lo and fro, or whispering and talking to one another about thc mysterious dis- appearance of their bachelor neigh- bor. Peter lilnclnLvre.

So, after satisfying themselves that Maclniyre had not returned to his shack after he had left them the night before, a party set out for the graveyard. Not a man among them but was armed to the teeth.

"There might be bears around," they told the women and children as they marched away.

When the party reached the old graveyard they paused to look through the bushes which grew about the place, almost hiding it

DOROTHY DIX-SAYS-

Vifol Information’ ‘Before Marriage

Young Mun Should Chock On Hanna's Views, Cooking

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: As I recently have become engaged to a very wonderful girl and would like to avoid any possible trouble in the future. I would like to know what questions I should ask her prior to our marriage. I shall greatly appreciate any information you can give

me on the subject. HORACE

ANSWER: Right you are, Son. for every men who get! married practically buys a pig in a poke. No matter how long he has courted Angel Face nor how sure he is that he knows her like a book. he finds out that she is a surprise package that he doesn't know how to handle. This is inevitable, for youngsters in love don't really try to find out anything about each other on the safe side of the altar. The only questions they ask are: "How much do you love me? Will you always love mc?" And while thil is valuable information, there are other questions that a man is wise to ask his prospective bride.

For instance, just as no prudent man would invest all of his capital in a house without finding out whether he was getting a clear title to it or not, so he should inquire of Little Sweetie whether she is always going to be Mama's spoiled little baby girl, or whether shc is going to make the kind of a wife who is a real lielpmeet. to her husband. ‘This is a $84-doliar question, for mothers alienate fur more wives from their husbands than gigolos do.

MONEY QUESTION VITAL -

Then comes the money question. Before a man asks a girl to marry him he should tell her exactly how mucli money he makes. and ask her if she is willing to live in a cold water flat, pinch pennies and wear base- ment bargains. If she thinks it would be a lark. let the wedding bells ring. Otherwise pass her up. A wife who loves luxuries better than shc does lier husband ls a poor bet.

Be sure before you pop the question to get your girl friend's views on cooking. If she ls allergic to the kitchen, change the subject under discussion from romance to tlic atomic bomb. No matter what other tal- ciiis and virtues a woman may have. if she liicks the domestic instinct she is a failure as n wifc. No mun who comes home fired and hungry from a long, liurd iln_v's work wzmls to sli down to a meal that would give an ostrich stomach ulccrs in u room that looks like a cyclone has passed through it.

So, Son, my earnest advice to you is never i0 get serious with a girl until you have dropped in on her for a family meal and seen if the floors arc clean and the pie crust flakcy. Wise is the guy who asks his sweetie for lier recipe [or mayonnaise before lic asks for lici" hand in marriage.

DEAR l\llSS DIX: Recently I hnvc been going with a married man’ and everything ls all right, for lic has iolil me over and over again that lie has found in me the only girl he evci‘ loved. I-Ie has a wife and three daughters. T\vo of them are married, and he says that as soon as he educates the single one llP will get a divorce and marry me. But. what worries me is that over u _\‘(‘£ll‘ ago he went into business with a young girl and she is with liim coiistiiiilLv. She drives liim everywhere lic gocs and 1 don't like for liim to ridc around with her so much. PENNY

ANSWlilR: You sziy that your liaison wiili ilie married niuii ls all riglii. but ii is all wrong. You cannot possibly tliink that you are doing the right thing when you steal u woman's liushuiid away from llEl‘ and break up licr home. Many nnrl many n night lhc flouied wife must have wept herself to sleep. Many and mziny u lime the daughters of the old rouc must have writheil in shumc us they saw ihc disgusting spectacle he was making 0f himself. And you think tlizii is all right because you are enjoying dancing down the primrose pnlli. But those who dance always have to pay the piper, and your day of settlement has come. The new girl is taking your plZlUf? and in a little while you will be the discarded woman who soaks her pillow with her tears. Doing wrong doesn't pay. Especially for women.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have u beautiful baby four months old, but I am unhappy because my husband doesn't like her and gets angry with me if I ask him to hold her. What do you tliink of a man who doesn't like his own child? _ p MRS. v. w.

He is Just jealous. lic can't stand having his nose put out of joint by a mere infant. Use a litilc tact in dealing with your problem. Don't try io force the child on her father. Just wait. until the baby gets to the cute age and lic will be crazy about her.
