. ’ Youth Asks Advice On Troth _. e With Unhealthy Girl

DEAR MISS DIX:

‘I am a young mun nearly 21 years old. My . iiil friend is practlcalLv three years my senior. We are very congenial i and happy when we are together, but there are a few matters which I . regard uneasily". She is vcry anemic. She eats hardly anything. and when we are taking part in sporting events she ai- ways tires when I could enjoy it further. if \\e .',o out to places of amusement for several nights in suc- cession. or do anything strenuous, her face becomes pale and dark rings form around her eyes. and that makes me wonder how she ivill be able to stand the wcar and tear of life.

Don't think that I expect too much of tier. but I would certainly hate to think that I would be marry-

ing a girl who might become a chronic invalid. What is your advice? YOLING MAN ANSWER: One of the things that men seldom seem to tzikc into consideration tn picking out their wives ts the health of their prospect- ltc brides. _\ct the success of every marriage depends largely upon ulutht-i‘ th-i girls they‘ niarry are going to be just doctors‘ bills to them. , u!‘ helptiit-cts. , HEALTH PREFERRED ' It is all \cr_v well for a man to fall in love with a frail little Dream Girl. who might get her angcl wings at any minute, but when hc mar- rits he wants a wife who is strong and husky and who can do a hard 1" ' 'hing and then ti.'ll'\l‘(‘ half the night.

Of course. hale and hearty girls often turn into sickly wives. That can't be helped, and to the honor of men be it said that most husbands under such circumstances bear with their wives with the patience of lie-angels.

But. all the same. it is a wise thing for any lad contemplating matri- mony to get a health certificate from his girl, just in case.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Do you think that a divorced man has. or should have. as much attraction for a single woman as a single man would have? Would he have as good a chance of making a desirable marriage? Also, do you think that a single girl or woman shotild date a divorced man?

I Y _ A il/ORRIED PERSON

ANSWER: From my observation I would say that divorce is no handicap to a man so far as the ladies are concerned, unless he was unlucky enough to have the court award him the children in the divorce settlement. That cramps his style as a Romeo. for there are few wo- men who want a husband badly enough to take one with a readvmade family. '

Whether a bachelor should be penalized for having muffed his chances with single women and thus be condemned to marry ivldows. is i l problem lacyond my powers to solve.

As to your question an to whether a single girl or woman sliotlld date a man ii ho has been married, the answer is: Why not‘? “iirlow. rrs are alivays preferred risks.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 23 and am in love with three differ- ent men. Number One tells me that he loves me and we have had some good times together, but he has never akaed me for a second date. Num- 11"!‘ 'l'\\o is older than I am and all he ever does is to feed mc when he takes me out. Number Three says he loves me, but he only comes to Bee me once every two weeks.

All of the men are past 40 and have been married. One of them three times. But none of them have wives now. What shall I do to get one of them to marry me? Or how can I get any rich man, for that matter? These men are not rich. but they have enough money for me to live on in the style I want to live.

m _ QUESTION MARK

Ahsii/ER: As none of the men have asked you to marigv them it sat-ms to me that you are borrowing trouble about trying to decide which one to take. Love talk is the cheapest thing in the world and the least to be depended upon.

lloivever. I should rczhrd Number Two as your best bet. as voti liaf.’ tint he feeds you when he takes you out. and that's "sumpin." as Ant... and Andy would say. Any man who will buy you good food has a cli..-rm that is not to be scoffed at.

THE IMAGE OF A STRANGE GOD

(By Uncle Joe)

Over the entrance of the old l\licmac's wlgwani, which stood l-i a tiny Indian village in Prince Ed- ward island, was carved the llgLIlL uf a strange god. The old Indian chief had done his work ivell, but the god he had created was a hor rible thing to look upon, with large gaping mouth showing a set of teeth as long and sharp as u row of knife blades. Along the back could be seen a set of powerful wings while the lower part of the body tapered off into a short pow- erful tail.

The old chief was very proud ut the unique figure he had carved out of wood. and ticvcr lost an 0p- portunity of showing it to OIIIcI Indians who occasionally crossed to the island to visit the iilicnitics.

Our lcgenti tclls its that ulii ‘Fhttnrltircziiw, the lnrlian cliicf. pat- terned his grotesque art after a strange god hc had encountered

while on a hunting trip in the iviids of the island; and that Iic and this unknovvn deity frequently met and held long talks while the rest of the red men lay about U131!‘ wigwams in deep sleep. o e e

All went well until the real god became Jealous of the attention tilt. Indians were paying to his image. Then one (lay in a fit 0f anger he started out to fiml the image ul himself and sec just how the chit-t had cxecutcd the job of sculptui- ing such a great spirit as hc hini- self boasted he was.

Three days and three nights the god flew over the beautiful islaiio country before he finally sighted the Indian village. Then he lanc- cd on the earth to rest. and decide what course he would follow. Bill first he must look upon his own likeness.

The news of his arrival soon spread about. and a great fcar fell upon the people, frightening them as they had never been frightened before. Quickly they sought the old chief and demanded to know why this strange and terrible crea- ture had conic amongst thcm. All the while the ugly thing lay nctii their camp, crying in a loud voice for somebody to come to him. The chief. unable to control the excited people. went out to meet the spirit being himself.

But Chic-f Thundercap was not prepared for the reception he got when he drew near the spot where the mighty god lay stretched out on thr- grass.

"What is the matter." hr- cried. “that you keep me. waiting so long? Take nic at. oncc to your tciit su that I may soc for myself this image which you have wrought after my own likeness."

The old chief. now thoroughly frightened himself. led the way and soon they were within sight of the odd creature which had caused all the ado.

"There," said Chief Thundercap, "there ts the image.”

The chief looked about him. but nowhere could he see any mem- bers of his tribe. They had, every one, vanished to the shelter of his own Wigwam.

When his eyes returned to look upon his strange guest. the god had settled down on his stubby tall and was leisurely surveying his own image. Ilc would twist his huge head this ivay and that, emitting strange noises that seem-

TOO MUGII LIQUIDS AND SALT DMY CAUSE HEADACHE

If libero are two things the human body needs daily. it is water and salt. The cells of the body are like little fl.sh and must have water all about them to do their work properly. Thus, the trolls of a chic-ken that have been kept alive for many years are kept in water containing a certain per- centage of salt. Salt enters into the formation of the various cells of the body.

However, that certain indivi- duals Wouid be free of various dis- turbances of the body if they drank less fluids or ate less salt. has been deflniwly proved.

For years. physicians tYYing to reduce weir-ht in overwelghts have advised cutting down by one-half on all liquids and on the use of table salt on foods or foods rich in salt.

As every pound of fat. holds three pounds of water. rzunoving a pound of fa’. by exercise or eating icss food means loss of four pounds of weight.

That. attacks of GpIICPSY 6B" be caused by too much water in the brain tissues is now known. Where the physician is in doubt. about convulsive attacks being epilepsy. he has the patient drink a great amount of water and gives him pit- ressin. which holds water in the tissues. Convulsions will occur if attacks are due to epilepsy.

Recently, researoh physicians in- vestigating attacks of headache for which no apparent cause is present. are fuidlng that too much water in the body tissues is the case (If ntigraine (one-sided headache) and other headaches.

In the "American Journal of tvledicine.“ Dr. Joseph W.. and Mav. A. Goldzielier state that it is gen- erally recognized that. migraine is more common just before the monthly period and blie meno- pause. when there usually is a dis- turbance of the manner in which the body handles salt and water.

For two whole days the spirit stood before the chief's wtgwam. admiring the clever image of hlin self. And all this while he com- manded the chief to . stand by. Thundercap was afraid to disobey. for he knew full well the anger of the gods once they were aroused. This terrible monster might EVztl demand some of the children to satisfy his hunger-if he ever gal. hungry. The chief did not know what food the gods ate; but as for himself. he could do with a mighty slice of venison. Why did not some of his people bring him food und water?

As if reading his thoughts spirit spoke up:

"I never cat the food of men 0r boasts. Only the distilled dew cf nature is fit for the gods. But go and prepare food and drink for your own needs; and when you have eaten and slept. return at once to me."

When Chief Thundercap came again among his people they crowd- ed around him. demanding to know when the evil god would leave their camp. or why Thundercap did not order his young braves out to kill the horrible creature.

But to all their questions the chief could make no satisfactory re ply. He just granted and said. "Tomorrow will be another day and then we shall see what we shall

But the people were sorely afraid and wanted to be rid of the god; so they sent one of their numbei that night to their leader's wig- wam, beseechlng him to let them put an end to the evil one’: life. But the chief would not.

"Thou art a coward." said his interviewer. “If you are not wlm us you are against us, and this nltht we shall rid our village of you and your-strange god."

Just before daybreak on the fol- lowing morning the Indian men of tho village. armed with bowl and arrows, silently stole to the wil- ivam of the chief. prepared to carry out their pro-conceived plans.

But when they stepped lnltdc they found the place empty. Next they went to the spot where the strange god had been accustomen to sleep; and here. too, was notli ing to be seen or heard.

Back to the Wigwam of the olti chief they retraced their steps and. upon looking up where the Image used to rest. they observe.‘ that it hsd been removed and In it» place was a drawing of Chief Thun dercap nitride the buck of the Great Spirit flying high up tntt

’ J—COBUHOI1CIHI with ani- ber and golden cloudletl floating away serenely from the lunrile above the trees down stream and bringing to us at. Alderlea a day when the first sods of the Fall plowing were turned redly in a near field. It ts evidently a most insistent work since only to men- tion other possible endeavours iu the farmers is to be met \Nilhl “But we couldn't think of tt—not before that nwnure we spread has all been plowed down!" The cat’ penters returned with the flooding of sunlight into our valley. taking up again their work of repairing. Speaklng of the sited-like structure left at week-end only partly com- pleted, I overheard James say: "it was just a miracle-that's what it was, that the whole thing didn't blow down" in yesterday's high and gusty wind. At dawn, on the Sabbath morning when even la farm-houses inhabitants are inclin- ing towiird another nap, n mun eas- ed himself quietly out. of our witlc old bed. and from the new window made an anxious survey of our sur- roundings, tlien presently descend cd the stairs and let himself out into the wind-swept day. There foi- lowed a brisk closing of any doors a-swing; a checking of our build lngs to see that all was intact and a return with a report of his find ings. I l O Not inclined to "look for the Sil- ver lining" at any time, the damp windy morning lent him reason foi concern. He was “Just afraid that those hay-stacks tip by the llll? would blow down-they would be certain to, if the wind increased any more." but beyond a slight ruffiing of the heights they bask- ed in the clearing sunset. The-e were also "those young horses back in u pasture. without shelter from the cold blasts." a condition which was soon remedied by fetching them to the stables, and there was the chance "that you won't be able to keep your feet tn this Ellen. though. if you take advantage of the calmer spells between the gusts, you may be able to get as far as the stable" where “come day go duy", storm or calm, the chore of the milking walls. o e e

In the delightful calm of the eve» nlng when night had settled down in content, spreading a silence over fields and woodlands and nestling. lighted farmhouses, Jeanie cainr from the house across the lane bearing to us the news of the young Prince's birth. "Just in the event that you weren't listening in to your radio.” Tears. that have strange ways with them, now veig.‘ close at hand or again far and ever away‘, welled up and would likely have fallen if James had not commented hrusquely: "it's daft you are.
