CONSIDER THE LITTLE THINGS,
THEY COUNT MOST, M'LISS SAYS
Temporary Separation Best Cure When Petty
Domestic Incidents Assume Proportions
of Frankenstein Monster
THE Uttte things! How very big, liow very Important they are after nil! If
wo could ollmlnatb them from Hfo half of the sorrow of tho world would vanish
'vanish and, ltewlsc, half of Its Joy.
Only yesterday I heard of a man and woman who nre seriously conlcmplat
Injc a divorce because sustained friction over tho matter of turning out the light at
night Is makbig Hfo together Impossible for them.
Tho husband contends that tho last one to hop Into bed should bo the one
to extinguish tho light. Tho wlfo contends that ho no longer loves her because
When she Is finished reading, he, having retired earlier, Is not willing to rise
from his downy coUch and perform tho simple servlco of pressing the button
of tho switch for her.
Thoy nre rational, Intelligent beings, yet this petty thing Is gradually assum
ing huge and tragic proportions. Each is holding out for Individual rights, and
If something doesn't soon happen nn otherwlso happy home Is going to bo
disrupted.
If I wcro that woman I thlnl, I should go away for a little while, or suggest
to my husband that ho take up his abode elsewhere. Distance, which Ii said to
lend enchantment, also permits ono to get the proper perspective. These silly
people are too close to tho ridiculous triviality that is corroding their lives. When
an artist wants to correct n. faulty lino or bad color ho docs not peer closely nt
his canvas, but goes a little distance away, so that ho can see It In Its relation
ship to tho rest of tho painting. -
It is my confirmed belief that It Is not good to see too much of any one.
True, thero aro people who "wenr'" wonderfully well; whoso source of Interest
and charm seems well nigh Inexhaustible, and yet there comes a. time when ench
and overy one of us feels that a separation oven from a well-beloved one would
be advisable.
Tho friendship or tho love of n man or a woman Is too precious a treasure
to bo lightly sacrificed. Even as the continual dropping of water wenrcth nwny
the stone, as the good book tells us, so also docs nagging dlslntcgintc the nffec
tlons. Out of the wisdom of somo ono's personal experience, I urn sure, ramo
tho adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
Apropos the little things, that clever woman, Allco Ducr Milter, has
written an arresting poem in tho Century called "After the Quarrel." To
quarrel, sho opines, is human, but to quarrel over trifles, even "those trilled
that strlko their roots to tho very heart of each," Is sin, sho declares.
"But if we must lot's quarrel for something great,
For something final and dangerous mastery, hate,
Freedom, or Jealousy, virtue, death or life."
It Is not the vital things that destroy happiness It Is the little things, IIUo
the turning out of a light, which, In tlm$, assume tho proportions of a Krankcn
.steln monster. I remember ono time Interviewing Mrs. Jane Deeter Itipptn,
who Is in charge of tho Domestic Relations Court, nnd through whoso hniuls
pass all divorce cases before they get Into court. Sho told me tint ninety-nine
,out of a hundred complaints were attributable to tho little things. In ono case
'the dropping of a plate the wife thought her husband did It to "get on" her
nerves was thought sufficient grounds for a separation. Mrs. Miller Is right;
to quarrel over such a petty Incident Is nothing short of sinful. M'ldSS.

Dear M'LlsiVr-Cnn you tell me an In
teresting way to announco my daughter's
engagement. I nm going to havo an In
formal dance for her. hut no programs.
Also the fact thnt I can Iiavo only a buffet
supper eliminates tho possibility of an
nouncing It at table. Can you buy fnlso
"crackers" which, when pulled, Instead of
producing dunce caps, will reveal little
notcB announcing the betrothal?
NIJW JERSEY.
Since you say you are not going to have
favors or programs nt your dance, why
not have the announcement made In this
way. At the Intermission between the
dances havo a telegram delivered to you.
It can be real or "faked" that is. de
livered by a youngster In the neighbor
hood and written on ono of the telegraph
companies' blanks. It should be received
with an air of great mystery by you, for
being tha mother you are the proper ono
to announco your daughter's betrothal.
Word it llko thl3-. "To Miss Mary Smith,
party of tho first part, and Mr. John Jones,
party of tho Hecond part, I'.in t'upld wires
his felicitations." Your daughter can
then recjlvo the congratulations of her
frleml3.
Falsa crackers. Into which you Insert
the announcement, are not to be bought,
I behove, after a thorough search of tho
shops. Why not slip a hcroll bearing
the news Into the end of one of the reg
ular crackers used as favors at parties?
This can bo done. If tho ends are care
fully untwisted, without damage to the
cracker.
Or you might make as many hearts
out of red paper as you have guests.
Write the news on one side of the heart
In gold Ink. Now hide tho hearts In every
nook and corner of tho room. During
the intermission announce that there are a
number of perfectly good hearts missing,
and that you will give a leward to me
lucky girl or man who finds the most.
Hao a heart-shaped box of bonbons for
a prize.
Dear M'LIss I read your article on
"Hag Rug-making Replaces Knitting" last
evening and I am very much Interested. I
am crocheting' a rag rug made of "mill
end" cuambray purchased In the basement
of a department stqre. and It now con
tains 100 yards ot 27 inches wide goods
with four different colors.
I wish you would tell mo the nnme of
the book referred to In your article.

By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.
IN rMEUMON'IA nnd some other acute
Illnesses there Is a time. In most cases,
when the high fever disappears nnd the
patient experiences marked relief from the
symptoms ho has been suffering. This
sudden disappearance of the fever is
called tho crisis. It Is eagerly welcomed,
and by no means n fearful event. The
word crisis, as thus applied, Is not the
same as the crisis of a battle or some
great movement The crisis of pneumonia
is favorable In Itself, always. It occurs
at any time from the third to tho 12th
day.
Why tho crisis?
It occurs In a few hours, perhaps 10 or
IB hours tho temperature drops from 103
degrees or 101 degrees or higher down to
normal or two or three degrees below the
normni 98 degrees A profuso sweat ac
companies the fall In temperature. All of
this Is a distinct relief to patient nnd phy
sician. Theio Is no particular reason why
a change for the worse should be fenred nt
or nenr the time of the crisis Indeed. If
tho patient can weather his seizure up to
tho crisis that It, If n cMsls Is his lucky
lot then he will In nil probability come
through a winner, provided he has not
squandered his substance In wrong IIMng.
The crisis tomes when the blond has
mobilised sufficient antidote or antitoxin
to overcome rr neutralize the poisons pro
duced by the pncumococcl (pneumonia
germs) which have Invaded the lung The
critical sweat carries out a tiemendous
quantity of poison Hence, physicians en
deavor to take the hint and apply hot
mustard foot baths or other measures to
maintain or encourage sweating In tho
course of pneumonia nnd othei Illnesses
caused by the ubiquitous pncumococcus
It Isn't the damage to the lung that
makes the pneumonia patient so desper
ately 111. We know that, because the lung
Is still solid for days lifter the crisis, days
after the the patient feels and Is much
bolter Pneumonia Is a disease that kills
by poisoning the body. It must bo treated
in that light, In order to accomplish any
thing Local applications to tho chest, ex
cepting for relief of pain, are of little
value, If any.
Not only pneumonia, but bronchitis,
quinsy, soro throat and even "cold" In tho
head, aro often produced by the pneu
mococcus. one man's coryza or soro
throat germs cause another man's pleurisy
or pneumonia. That Is why the much-too-common
"cold" should be spatially Isolated

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What a Physician Is
As long as a healer doesn't give druga
or "physic" he Isn't a physician, nnd hence,
should not bo compelled to study medi
cine, writes a doctor.
Answer Your dictionary Is a misprint
Tho word physician really means a scien
tist, nnd drugs, or "physic." take up Just
about 2 per cent, of the five years he
spends acquliing his medical education.
