HOW TO KEEP
WELL

LEPROSY IN THE UNITED
STATES
T EPROSY is an ancient disease. It
■L* was evidently known and dreaded
in Egypt before the time of the Exo-
dus, as shown by the minute and
stringent laws that Moses, the world’s
first great health officer, enforced on
the Children of Israel. Readers of the
Bible know how frequently the Bible
writers refer to the disease and how
much it was dreaded. Whether what
was called leprosy in biblical days
was exactly what we now recognize
as leprosy or was a combination of
several different diseases is a ques-
tion over which experts are still argu-
ing. Whatever it was, it was evident-
ly much commoner and more con-
tagious than it is today. Judging
from the large number of leper hos-
pitals and colonies in Europe during
the Middle Ages, leprosy was appar-
ently a commoner disease during that
period. Today, in most civilized coun-
tries, it is rare.
It still exists in this country, al-
though so uncommon that the great
majority of physicians have never
seen a case. Only occasionally, when
a case is discovered and announced
In the newspapers, does the average
person know of its existence. The
popular fear of the disease is far out
of proportion to the dangers.
The United States public health
service estimates that there are about
twelve hundred lepers in this country.
There are more in the Gulf states
than anywhere else. The disease has
existed for generations in these
states, especially in Louisiana, prob-
ably through contact with the trop-
ical countries of Central and South
America through commerce; the in-
fection was brought in one hundred
years ago through the African slave
trade and possibly through the set-
tling of parts of Louisiana by the
Arcadians.
None of our states has any hospital
or facilities for treating these unfor-
tunates, so the national government
has taken over their care. No state
wanted to have a leper hospital lo-
cated in its borders. Louisiana had
already established a leper hospital,
so in 1921 the federal government
purchased the hospital and enlarged
it. It now has room for 425 persons
and the United States public health
service has the authority to take
charge of any leper in any state and
transport him to Carville, La., where
he is cared for at public expense un-
til he dies or recovers.
The best authorities agree that lep-
rosy is a dangerous contagious dis-
ease and that the best method of con-
trolling it is to keep each leper sepa-
rated from healthy persons so long as
the disease is active.
VARICOSE VEINS AND
ULCERS
TTARICOSE veins form one of the
V most chronic and troublesome af-
flictions of middle and old age. In
former years, varicose veins and ul-
cers were far more common than they
are today, when modern surgery of-
fers an easy, safe and effective meth-
od for treatment'and cure.
A varicose vein is one In which, on
account of sluggish circulation, the
vein is stretched by the venous blood
pressure, so that the valves In the
veins no longer work and as a result
the full weight of the blood column
falls on the vein, stretching it still
more and causing a hardening and
thickening of the walls of the vein,
similar to the changes caused by ar-
teriosclerosis in the arteries.
The principal vein which is affect-
ed is what anatomists call the long
saphenous vein, the vein which car-
ries back the venous blood from the
foot and leg. Starting on the inside
of the ankle, it runs up the inside of
the leg just under the skin, receiving
branches from the leg and thigh and
getting larger as It ascends. Extend-
ing as it does from the foot to the
upper part of the thigh, it is the long-
est vein in the body. In normal con-
ditions, this vein, like all the other
veins, is provided on its inside with
valves like little cups, which hold up
the weight of the blood column and
so prevent the blood from settling in
the foot and lower legs, as it would
naturally tend to do. But If the vein
is stretched, these valves are pulled
apart and no longer work. Then the
whole weight of the blood above is ex-
erted on the lower part of the vein
and stretches it still more. The blood
stagnates, the watery part oozes
through the walls and the skin on the
foot and leg up to the calf become
blue, boggy and swollen.
A slight bruise or scratch on the
unhealthy skin will start an ulcer,
which once started is very slow to
heal. These ulcers are usually on
the inside of the leg just above the
ankle.
Rest, elevation of the legs, elastic
stockings and bandages, poultices,
salves are and have all been used on
those patients who are too weak or
old or who will not consent to an op-
eration. They .all help but they do
not cure. The only treatment that
will permanently cure a varicose
vein or a varicose ulcer is an opera-
tion by which the long vein is cut
through and tied or a piece cut out
so as to destroy the vein and relieve
the mnnatural blood pressure.

^r'HAT something new in millinery,
X always due to appear for late sum-
mer, has arrived this year in force.
Shop windows and promenades are
full of gay emigrants from Paris—
newly arrived and very captivating,
light felt hats, to be worn with the
airiest day dresses and sports clothes
and probably destined to reappear in
darker colors, or brighter ones, for
fall. These are the “vagabond” hats
with which summer is ringing down
the curtain on the best performance
In millinery for several years. They
are only successful in fine qualities
and are made with narrow or medium-
wide, floppy brims in light tans, gray,
pale rose, pinkish tan, ivory, putty
color, and other delicate shades.
Eteually they are trimmed with rib-
in any sort of bathing suit is bent on
swimming in the most practical and
unhampered fashion. The demand is,
for knitted one and two-piece suits;
some of them in dark colors and man-
nish styles and many others in strong
shades of red, green, blue and orange.
Solid colors predominate but there is
gome diversity supplied by polka dots
and stripes, usually in colors, and a
smart, individual touch appears in the
monograms worked on diamond-shaped
or oblong patches.
Having determined upon a bathing
suit, the next’ thing is the business of
choosing a cape or robe to wear over
it, and here is where the story of
beachwear departs from the conven-
tional and becomes exciting. The
choice lies between garments of rub-
fa on but they cannot be described as
simple, for the trims are intricate
and the ribbon sometimes a bit gor-
geous, when gold or silver metallic
patterns are used. •
The group of late summer hats
shown here includes four felts of the
vagabond type and one French sailor
in straw. Both the smooth, creamy
felts and the rougher “scratch” varie-
ties are .shown in the new shapes.
The group leads off with a narrow-
brimmed model that flares upward
across the front and left side. The
crown is draped with ribbon collar
and ornament which is placed at the
right side. The French sailor, In nat-
ural straw color, has its brim edge
bound with narrow gilt braid, and this
binding is repeated on the ribbon col-
lar and buckle made of ribbon. A

berized silk (including rubberized
moire) or those of cretonne or terry
cloth. The silks are shown in gay
colors or quiet ones, and in many
novel, futuristic designs. Gray is the
favored solid color but there is far
more demand for bright-figured pat-
terns. Whatever the cape or robe may
be made of, fashion approves a choice
of colors that will harmonize with
the bathing suit and show some rela-
tion to it. A new idea Is a beach

Tommy Preferred Nickels
The first thing grandfather did
fphen he came to see us was to gather
the children about him and give them
money. When it came to Tonffny, the
youngest, he asked which he’d rather
have, a dime or two nickels?
“Two nickels,” responded Tommy
promptly.
“Why?” asked grandpa, wondering.
“Cuz,” answered Tommy, “if I lost
one, I’d still hifve one left."
Practical Wear

type has a handsome collar about the
crown, made of overlapping lengths of
velvet ribbon and is finished with a
small ornament at the front, but very
vagabondish is its neighbor with
dented crown, brim widened and
turned up at the back. A ribbon col-
lar and a rosette, made with irregular
plaits, trim it.
A ,similar shape with two ridges in
the crown is content with a flat rib-
bon collar finished with groups of
plaits at the side where two small
cabochons made of strips of felt are
placed.

as a blanket. Capes are the most
popular wraps for beach wear and all
of them may be passed up for the
“slicker.” Even the cap must follow
the lead of the suit and wrap In
color, if it is to register smartness.
There is considerable variety in this
water millinery, with the helmet-
shaped affair a great favorite. Rubber
slippers or satin shoes dispose of the
footwear question.
Boxes that look like undersized
hat boxes, with rubberized lining,
serve to carry beachward all bathing
needs, but amusing bags of rubber-
ized silk that simulate queer dolls and
conventional bags of cretonne out-
number them. Very pretty beach pil-
lows are made of colored oilcloth.

A LINE that will not let you sleep.
Goes singing through your
brain
And, If that line you’d like to keep,
Before you sleep again
Arise and find your pen tonight,
Arise and find your pen and write,
Or when you waken at the dawn
You'll find your singing line is gone.
And life is full of singing lines,
Some impulse fine and true,
Some kindness that the heart designs
For human hands to do.
Oil, let them never sing in vain!—
Before we turn aside again
Oh, le,t us write that impulse on
Some life, before the line is gone.
For many a man has nobly thought,
For one who did a deed.
T is not to know the thing we ought
To do, that now we need.
The world is full of singing lines,
Some kindness that the heart de-
signs—
The need Of me, the need of you,
Not hearts to feel, but hands to do I

“I think we’re going to buy a scout

“How we do plan and wonder,” said
an eighth penny.
“How we do grow In numbers,” said
a ninth penny.
“We’ll buy something pretty nice,”
said a whole lot of pennies tumbling
over each other as they spoke.
“We have a lot of fun when we're
bping jingled,” said another penny.
Oh. yes,” said still another, “it Is
nice to be all mixed up and have
a grand change and upset. I always

“Do you-know,” said the first penny,

for it.”
“What is that?” asked the second

th^ third penny.
“Tel? us,” said the fourth penny.
‘IMaybe we can help you,” said the

“ Well,” said the first penny, “every

as Lsay, I have perhaps no reason to

once, that I know
of, bothered to

even though the
one asked has
said:
“ ‘Oh, I was

little, only wheth-

they don’t receive
any pennies.
“I do hope they
won’t, on account

“Don’t worry,” said one of the other
pennies, “I have been about a good
deal, and I have been used toward
many purchases, but I’ve never paid
for a thought yet, and I don’t believe
I ever will.
“It is more of a speech than any-

way.”

Temperature in the Shade
Five-year-old Ben, convalescent
from a slight attack of the flu, and
thoroughly enjoying the -fuSs- that whs
being made over him, was explaining
the seriousness of his illness to one
of his playmates who had just dropped
in to see him.
“One night,” said Ben, who loved
to exaggerate, “I was so sick my tem-
perature went up to over a hundred
in the shade.”
*<|LJE’S A repaint job,” said the
*■ -*■ Hotel Stenographer, looking
after a man as he left her desk.
“Huh?” The House Detective didn’t*
understand.
“She didn’t get a new car when she
married him,” explained the girl, “be-
cause he’s been married before. He’s
a repaint job and likely to peel in the
hot sun of life.
“She has taught him how to wear
a dfess suit, but she can’t keep him
from carrying pipe cleaners In the
pocket of his swallowtail. He just
will j wear his napkin and she can’t in-
duce him to throw away the gold
toothpick he won in a Kelly pool
tournament.
“He has a- lot of money, and all
that,! but she was foolish enough to
think she could mold him to fit a
two-dollar book on etiquette she
learned from cover to cover when
she was a ticket seller in the Odeon
Moving Picture Palace.
“Ope woman had already molded
him and he had hardened in her
mold. He Is too old for her to knead
him ejven if she did need his dough.
“Thje trouble with marrying a wid-
ower is, they have a certain place to
put their shoes and a certain way of
cutting up their food, and Its almost
impossible for a new wife to change
them. No woman is very happy un-
less iShe thinks she is remaking her
man. It can’t always be done with
new material—never with old. No
made-over dress or husband is ever
quite j satisfactory to the woman In
possession.
“You can saw branches off an old
tree, but unless you start with it as
a sapling, you can’t train it. Believe
thou me, I am not going to marry a
widower unless all the stock of young
men has been used up.”
“Widowers and older men are al-
ways kinder to dumb brutes,” remind-
ed the House Detective.
