L WOMA Everybody Desir BY LYDIA LE BARON If you want to be understood, try to tinderstand others. It is one of the best ways to gain the desired end. Under- standing begets understanding. The person who is always complaining that she is not understood is one who tails to see things from any angle but her own, and therefore, for one reason or another, does not understand others. There is a very old proverb which A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING IS A SURE FOUNDATION FOR HAPPY COMPANIONSHIP. says, “With all thy getting, get under- standing.” For ages the importance of gaining understanding has been appre- ciated. It has often been thought that this meant knowledge of affairs or of | be fulfilied. It would be a natural result. N’S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

It scems a bit s universal a craving for others to under- stand us we do not try with all our hearts and minds to understand others. for the attitude of others to be correctly directed toward us. So utterly engross- |ing is this point of view that we give others. As understanding should be | reciprocal to be complete, our attitude is | as_essential to friendliness as is theirs. There has sprung up the expression, | "An understanding person.” The world has a soft place in its heart for these persons. They draw understanding to- ward themselves in proportion to the measure with which they understand others. A kindly judgment is theirs and a kindly judgmers is passed on the actions of understanding persons.

All mothers know that this attitude is essential to- ward their children if a mutual and happy companionship is to result. If this attitude of kindly judgment and leniency toward one's offspring could be extended to include friends and ac- quaintances, the world would be an even better place to live in than it now is, and the craving to be understood would (Copyright, 1928.)

Tn nine years’ practice among Hima- layans, McCarrison, famous British army, surgeon, performed 3,600 major ‘operdtions, but never saw a case of gas- fric or duodenal ulcer, appendicities or- colitis among these primitive people, and he became convinced that unde- naturalized food, natural foods such as raw milk, whole grains, eggs, fruits and the leafy vegetables, are accountable for this remarkable freedom from in- fectious conditions. He specifies vita- min B and vitamin C as the special fac- tors that protect the digestive tract from such infectious diseases. (Infectious means caused by the invasion of the tissue or organ by germs, not necessarily contagious or ';.n:nlx:umnhx:) T ars a great many cases of }.fli or duodenal ulcer, or cases which_this lesion is suspected, patients have been urged to adhere to certain diets that have not included adequate quantities o fthese two vitamins, and since pur knowledge of these mysterious unidentified substances “in foods has been advanced by the discoveries of such sclentists as McCarrison and Mc- Collum, progressive physicians are pre- scribing less stringent dietary restrictions in the treatment of such patients, with rather extraordinary results. 1 have repeatedly urged here that vic- tims of mucous colitis should, as a rule, inciude an ample variety and quantity of coarse fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet, that they should eat even such an “frritating” thing as bran, or if that is pot desirable, then take a few spoon- fuls of whole flaxseed every day. Some of the old-timers, both general practi- tioners and specialists, have hopped into print here and there to warn people BRADY, M. D. of the doctor who directed an insomnia patient to take no food after 6 p.m., and a few weeks later, apparently un- mindful of her former visit, he advised her tc lay in a good lunch before retir- ing. He appeased the lady’s mystifica- tion by assuring her that medicine is making rapid strides these days. Diets commonly prescribed for gas- tric or duodenal ulcer patients (note I do not say for gastric or duodenal ulcer, for that can be done intelligently) usually contain vitamin A, which is present in cream, milk and butter fat. Whole wheat bread, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables contain vitamin B and should be included in the diet of the gastric ulcer patient, not necessarily every day nor regardless of the patient's condition, but in the ordinary diet. Raw fruits and raw vegetables are the best sources of vitamin B; and also of vita- min C. Here is a specimen diet as prescribed by Dr. Seale Harris for the third day of treatment of a case of gastric ulcer: Every hour from 7 am. to 7 pm. in-| clusive, 11 ounces of a mixture of 7l ounces of cream and 12 ounces of milk. One and one-half ounces of strained orange juice after the milk and cream | at 7, 1 and 7. In the fifth week of treatment Dr. Harris includes in the diet such items as | these: Strained oatmeal or shredded wheat biscuits, whole wheat bread toast, strained tomato or vegetable broth, tur- nip greens, spinach, string beafhs mashed through a sieve, or thick puree of peas or beans. After the sixth week, McCollom’s dictum should be heeded by the patient, that is, the normal person needs a pint or more of milk, at least one raw fruit and two cooked leafy green vegetables every day. against this very thing.

NANCY PAGE Peter Buys Guest Books, Luggage Stand and Tray BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy had inherited her love of com- pany from her mother. Just as Mrs. Lee was never so happy as when she | had guests staying over the week end, so Nancy enjoyed sharing the jollities of the Page home with her friends. Knowing this, Peter planned to give her a Christmas gift which would please her immensely. It was a guest book for the guest room. In this, since it was called a sketch hnok, her guests learned they were supposed to draw, no | matter how poorly, some expression of their enjoyment of the visit. Nancy had often seen the guest books in which were Inscribed the well wishes, the felicitations or the congratulations | of the guests, but neter before had she thought of using a sketch book. With the book Peter gave her a fountain pen and its accompanying pencil. Then he gave her a large book which did not ap- pear in the guest room, but the fruits of it were :gpurent whenever a guest returned to the Page home. In this book Naney noted the friends a particular visitor had enjoyed, the foods which had pleased her most, the books or magazines which made appeal. When next the guest visited her these likings were a part of Nancy's hospital- ity, and then her guests wondered why she was such a gracious hostess. She never gave away her secret book. Another gift was an enameled lug- gage stand which folded up out cf the way when it was not used to hold ths visitor's_traveling case or the breakfast tray. This tray was enameled in che same coloring as the luggage stand. And the breakfast set of china matched hap- pily with it. (Copyrizht, 1928.)

THE poor husband who is toiling like a dray-horse and doing the very best he can and giving his wife a good, comfortable living, after listening to the | saga of her misfortunes in marrying a poor man, feels as if a steam roller had | passed over him. So he protects himself from the unpleasant experience by‘ trying not to give her a conversational opening. Other men are silent at home because they and their wives have ceased to | speak the same language. The men have gone on reading and studying and | improving their minds. Their wives have been too lazy to make the slightest effort at self-culture. They don't even read the daily papers or the magazines, | and so they have nothing interesting and stimulating to talk about to an intelligent man. They have let their interests dwindle down to the four walls of their home and what the neighbors across the street are saying and doing. Their whole repertoire consists of a daily recital of the price of butchers’ meat and the misdeeds of the children and the Smith baby having cut a tooth. Yet they can't understand why in the midst of their domestic monologues their husbands retire behind their papers and fail to ask for more details. Other men don't tell their wives anything they can help because their wives | talk too much. They can't keep a secret. They blab their husbands’' business | affairs to the general public and even when they don’t do that, they tell eve: l thing to mother and the girls, and mother and the girls do the further broad- | casting. One experience is enough to teach friend husband the wisdom of keeping his plans to himself and of hiding in his own breast what he makes and what he has done and is going to do. | | Other men never talk at home because their wives never listen to them. | When they try to discuss their business and talk shop their wives yawn in their | faces and show that they are bored to tears. They frankly tell their husbands that they have heard their old stories’'a hundred times and they interrupt them in the midst of a disquisition on what the President should do about the League of Nations to ask if they remembered to order the coal or to look how cute the puppy is acting. These are some of the reasons, according to men, why they are silent at out an entertaining line of talk she will find that her husband will be glad enough to chime in with the conversation.

December 7, 1876.—It seems certain today that the great dispute over the result of the presidential election last month_has been at_last_precipitated upon Congress and that the final and deciding events of the national political drama will be enacted in this city be- tween now and March 4, when the term of President Grant expires. a result of the canvass of votes for President and Vice President by the re- turning_boards in the disputed States in the South the election of the Hayes- Wheeler electors has been certified in those States, adding 19 votes to the 166 previously held by the Republican can- didates and glving_them nominally a majority of one in the electoral college The principal disputes are in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina. From these States, however, come | today counter claims in behalf of the Democratic_ candidates for President and Vice President, Tilden and Hen- dricks. Furthermore, telegraphic word was received today from Oregon that one of the Republican electors in that State has been found to be ineligible, and this claim strengthened by the fact that the Governor of Oregon has com- missioned a Democratic_elector in the place of this man. If this vote is i counted, even with the disputed South- ern votes going to Hayes, Tilden will be elected President. _But the Republican party is making vigorous claims in Oregon against the commissioning of this Democratic elec- tor. just as the Democrats are doing with respect to Republican electors commissioned in several of the South- ern States. The throwing of the whole election muddle into Congress seems, for the present at least, to offer no solution; for one branch of Congress is Republican and one Democratic, and the whole question is admitted by everybody now to have taken a distinctly partisan char- acter. How to settle it without resorting to the well known Latin American style of politics is likely to task the minds of the ablest men of the Nation, and con- siderable apprehension is felt all over the country.

When bravery and boldness fail ! Just run away and break your trail v Buster Bear Though Buster Bear's attention was | |so much taken up with the dogs who | | had brought him to bay with his back | against a tree, he never once forgot | that probably hunters were following those dogs. His ears and his nose were | on guard eyery second. So it was that presently he heard the snapping of twigs. At the same time his nose caught the man cmell. Buster waited no longer. He charged at two of those dogs that were close together and his charge was so sudden that he man- aged to get a crack at both of them. | Then once more he took to his heels. By | | the time the hunters arrived Buster was | crashing away and was out of sight | Two dogs that had not been hurt were off after him. The other dogs were simply limping about or lying down whimpering. It was one thing to hunt Buster Bear, but it was another thing altogether to fight him. They had had enough of fighting. The owners of the dogs stopped to look after them and see that their wounds were not serious. Then they | followed on, hoping that the two dogs ahead would bring Buster to bay again. Of course, the trail was a very fresh | one and so it was very easy for the dogs to follow it. Their voices rang out steadily and the hunters had no diffi- culty in following. But Buster Bear was in a bad way. Not only was he tired and out of breath, but he was terribly frightened. It | wasn't the dogs. He wasn't afraid of those dogs at all. It was the hunters with the terrible guns. “I've got to get rid of those dogs,” thought Buster. “Yes, sir, I've got to get rid of those dogs. Without the help of the dogs those hunters never in the world would be able to find me. I must break my trail. I wish I _knew this part of the country better. I must find a brook or a pond. If I can once get water I will soon break that trail.” As a matter of fact, Buster didn't know that part of the country at all, | never having been there before. You |see, he had spent all his life away around on the other side of the Great Mountain in the Green Forest near Farmer Brown's. So all this country was new to him and this was a great disadvantage. It seemed to him that everything was against him. He ran MILADY B BY LOIS . Milady's Nose., | Beauty for the average woman means | careful attention to the small details | of personal appearance.

That is, they stopped barking in the excited way they had been bark- ing. Now and then one would give a yelp as he ran about with his nose to, the ground, hunting for Buster's trail. It was a yelp of disappointment. Buster would have chuckled if he hadn't felt so worried. The dogs began to work along the shore with their noses to the ground. They were hunting for a place where Buster might have come out of the water. They went in the opposite direction from where Buster was hid- ing. Of course, they failed to find him. ‘Then they came back and began to work along toward where Buster was hiding. Buster lowered his head until only his nose was out of the water and that nose was hidden by a log. The wind was blowing from Buster out to- ward the middle of the pond. Those dogs went right past and never sus- pected that Buster was near. (Copyright. 1928.) EAUTIFUL LEEDS. by dissolving a heaping teaspoonful of boric acid in a pint of boiling water.
