PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM X-Ray for Cancer. A reader has something of interest | fo say about the treatment of cancer: | “Dear Dr. Brady: “I noted in your column an inquiry concerning a hopeless case of cancer. | It meant much to me last years when I was in bed with cancer to know of just one case that had recovered. I had re- celved radium treatment from Dr. 0 but the cancer had continued its in- roads. Dr. is our family doc- tor and Dr. was the X-ray opera- tor who had first sent me to Dr. for the radium treatment. Besides these, Dr. one of our best sur- geons, was called in the hope that he would operate. The cancer had en- croached beyond the hope of success- :;u operation and he would not attempt “I mention all these details so that 1t may be clear just what the condi- tion was. And I saw the laboratory report from the hospital which | reported cancer cells found in the| specimen under the microscope. All | of the doctors mentioned were of the | opinion I would never be up again. “Drs. and wanted me to | have deep therapy x-ray, not that they believed it would cure, but. that it might diminish bleeding and pain. AR g 1 R BRADY, M. D. FHRRCIARE A T WRSEYAL LT o SRR e WOMAN’S PAGE. The constant association of an only child with adults gives an imprint of priggishness to what he has to say. He hears conversation, which, except when directed to him, is far above his comprehension, yet he likes to appear to understand. Very often hc uses words correctly. He is beginning to have an ault's condception of matters, and to lose his rightful childish view. He' is like a plant that is forced to bloom early. Sometimes he speeds ahead of those of his same age in school and his par- ents glow with pride. But rgrely does he keep up this e.. Something of natural development is lost, just as is found with the plant. The child is not especially happy and contented at heart. It is often at the price of companion- ship that he grows. He is mentally beyond those of his own years, so ae does not enjoy being with them, and those older peonle whom he finds con- genial do not care to have a youngster continually at their heels. So he is lonely in this stage of his existence. How then can an older child develup naturally and see things with the vision of youth? How can he be kept from loneliness? How can he come to rea- lize the equal rights of children, the rights which they have to see things their way, unbiased by constant con- tact with their superiors in age? These are problems that parents of only chil- dren find they are “up against.” One thing is essential and that is that the little folk have plenty of chil- dren to associate with. Another is that parents learn to see things from these other children's viewpoints and not constantly from that of their own off- spring. It is well for an only child to have some pet or pets. A dog is the most companionable. Have the child enter into sports, and outdoor activities that will encourage him to take defea* without rancor and success without ex- ultation, but each in good part as it comes. (Copyright, 1929.)

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SUB ROSA Ages before the honk of the flivver was heard in the land Dan Cupid be- gan to drive about in his one-cylinder chariot from which with his tiny bow he drove darts into the hearts of women and men. But it is hard to get Cupid’s number, not because he drives so fast, but because the dust of his little car heclouds our eyes. All of us know what love is like, for we have felt its strange symptoms, but we do not know just what it is or how it is supposed to influence us. It is an experience wherein the heart does not agree with the head or even consult it. You don’t find heart and brain in con- fidence in this sort of business. In the case of & boy who is beginning to shake off some of his crudeness and cut out some of his noise, the love- experience shows itself in the dawning of good manners, as far as these are possible with the amiable roughneck. He stops teasing and pulling hair and begins to be courteous, although often not so as you could notice it. Love and Civilization. ‘With the whole tribe of he-ones, love has been the greatest force for civiliza- tion so that if the Cave Man had not been spotted by Cupid we should have no Greeces or Romes or Europes, but only a lot more caves. Men are natu- rally barbarians, but they can be and have been tamed so that now they eat out of your hand. In & man’s heart the sentiment of love awakens personality, too, and changes the raw material of manhood into something like a person. The mere fragment of mankind becomes a kind of individual who becomes conscious of himself and desirous of making a good impression on the opposite sex. If it were not for Cupld and his love-cracks, men would still be savages. How Cupid Butts In. Love in a woman's heart is not so much a complete reversal of form as with men, but the fulfillment of a prophecy which woman has treasured within her soul. It is as though some gentle witch or Sybil or Sphinx had whispered a secret to her who solves the riddle at the dawning of love. For love is, indeed, a dawning with- in the mind of woman rather than a rude awakening. A man falls in love; a woman awakens to it. Love with man is like a polish put upon a metal; with & woman it is the blossoming of a bud. Cupid may use the same darts with both sexes, but he shoots them at different angles. A person in love should realize that his or her experience is common to the whole human race and native to the human heart. It is the oldest experi- ence of mankind, the newest feeling in the individual heart, for Cupid was the oldest and youngest of the gods. Love itself requires attention. It is a wild bird that is hard to tame and cage, a fire not easily controlled. Like fire, love is a good friend or a b-di enemy. (Copyright, 1920.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Book Discussion. One mother says: After my children have read a book, | I start them talking it over together, nd strength of plot, character drawing and all. This makes them concentrate more thoroughly while reading, puts them on the constant lookout for points to spring on one another and also develops their powers of individ- ual characterization. Sometimes they hold reading-aloud hours, taking a chapter in turn, and this is splendid training in voice placing, quick, dis- tinct pronunciation and poise.

J. P. GLASS. Cardinal Wolsey little dreamed when beautiful Anne Boleyn came back from France that she would be an instru- ment in his downfall. No more did she suspect that she was on the road to become Queen of England. Her father, Sir Thomas Boleyn, had brought her home to marry the son of Sir Piers Butler. But before she had even met the prospective bridegroom. she and Henry Percy, son of the Earl THERE 15 NEVER A NOBL | MAN BUT IF HE DONE HALF AS MUCH AS of Northumberland, fell in love and pledged their troth, although Percy al- ready was contracted to Mary Talbot, daughter of the Earl of Shrewsbury. It was here that the hand of Wolsey, great minister of Henry VIII, fell heavily on the fortunes of Anne Boleyn. He blasted her love match with a high hand and banished her from court to her father's castle at Hever. Better for him had she wedded Percy. She did not become the wife of young Butler. When she returned to court four years later she was more beauti- ful than ever—and her heart was filled with malice toward Wolsey. She was a ready tool for the jealous nobles who were conspiring against the cardinal. At a dance she completely captivated Henry VIII by her grace and charm. It was her task hence- ! forth to minister. Henry had no male heir and was trying to divorce Katharine of Aragon. Anne Boleyn determined to be the next Queen. ‘ Wolsey favored the divorce, but he poison his mind against his wanted Henry to make a marriage of state. Again he opposed Anne Boleyn. He lost favor with Henry, for he was unable to arrange the divorce.
