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 Legends - Of P. Egiana 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."

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. They had visited his log shack and found it empty save for u (‘Til curled up on the straw bed. The fireplace was u bcd of cold ZiSllPS.

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.
