And ten to one she'd find fault with it, anyway, so you might just as well let her have some real cause for criticlsm. As for me, I'm going to have my cup right now and here.

Now, promise you'll be good, or 1 shall mount guard down here and let Dr. Meredith ring the doorbell off.” Another loud, Impatient peal punctuated my sentence, and Lillian leaned against the table laughing. “Only Let That Man in” “I'll promise anything," she sald, “only let that man in."” “Remember!” 1 sald melodrama- tically as 1 sped to the door. At any other time I knew that my mother-in-law would have {insisted upon Katle answering the door, and ' her failure to send the girl down told me plainly that she was not yet ready to have the noted allenist cnter Katherine's room. It was a silent signal I dared not disobey, and I racked my brain for an excuse to delay Dr. Meredith downstairs when should have admitted him. He looked impatient of all delay as I threw open the door. With a “good-cvening,” almost court, he sirode into the hall, his handsome face bereft of Its usual rather florid color, his keen eyes betraying his anxiety, “Where is Mrs. Bickett?” he “In the same room her pa- tient had?

No sooner had Sammy gone his way than Pe- | ter started straight over for where Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse had been living all summer.

HUGH & CGMMING Surgeon Ceneral, United | Statcs Public Health Service Next: The term “anemia” is usually as. sociated In our minds with pallor. 1f a person is pale, he is anemic. It Is true that anemia produece pallor but not all pale people are anemic nor are ancmic people al- ways pale. IHow do. doctors tell whether not a person is anemic? This 1s done by an examinatior the blood. 5 You 1 remember that you learned at school that the blood is made up of red cells and white celld suspended An a colorless flujd i calted gerumi. The fluld which you get in a blister is mostly blood erum. Thers may be a few white cells in it, but no red cells, except in the so-called blood blisf There are in the normal somewhere between five and a half and geven millions of red bLlood cells in Ty cubic millimeter of blood and a cubic millimeter. {s about one-fourth of a wedjum- sized drop, There are five (o eight thousand white blood -eells to the | cubie millimeter, ! Finally, the color of the blood ix i dne to the presence In the red cells of a substance called hemoglobjn. Tn adults, as a tule, the amount of | blood in the body is approximately one-thirteenth of the body weight. but this may vary in different con- litions, Now, anemia means one or things — or both together. | In anemia there is either a re- Auction in the number of red cells per cublc millimefer or there i@ a { reduction in the amount of coloring mattér or hemoglobin which these red colls contain, There may be a reduction in both at the sime time. There are thrte general cavses of anemia and one or more of these may always be determined to he operative. Iirst, there is loss of blood or bleeding, leading to a dilution of the blood with fluid, such as water taken up from the intestinal tract to give the blood volume, Some- times this fluid is injected directly. into the veins, usually in the form of salt solution. Second, there may be -actual. de- struction of the red cells which causes them to dissolve in the fluid and disappear.as cells — époken of as hemolysis, Finally, there may be a disturb- ance, a defection in the manufac- ture or the formation of red cells in the body. Secondary anemias are those fol- lowing hemorrhages of various kinds — those which eccur fp mal- nutrition or starvation.or in chronic infections, such as are called blood poisonings and in pyorrhea, mala- ria, rheumatism, diphtheria and ! other infectlovs diseases. and also in poisoning by certain drugs. Among the secondary ancinias are listed also those caused by ani- mal parasites, such as hoockworm and tapeworm. Chlorosis a Common lstase The loss of a pint of blodd by an adult will produce some temporary anemia; the rapld loss of two pints of blood will produce a severe ane- mla and the loss of two quarts of blood may produce death, directly or from anemia following. There is j only one anemia which will be brought to your attention at this time and this Is a disease callgd chlorosis. Chlorosis {s a fairly common dis- ease in young girls. It is very im portant that this condition should Dbe recognized early and properly treated. The dieease develops generally at about the age of 14 to 16 — rarely as late as 20. If untreated, chlorosls may last many years and may interfere seri- ously with school work, It is usual- " ly fairly easy to cure but it may return. It is readily recognized by a competent physician early in its course, but it may be unrecognized by parents who do not understand its significance. The girl's complexion will be pale with possibly in some cases a greenish tinge, hence the name. She may be even heavier than nor- | mal in weight — she tires easily, suffers from shortness of breath— often dizziness and faintness; she may have palpitation of the heart and sometimes swelling of the feet. The appetite is variable and ehe may be nervous and emotional and may suffer from dyspepsia, The cause of chlorosis is wun- known. The treatment should at all times be directed by a competent physi- cian and will include proper diet, proper clothing (no stays), rest, and exercise if necessary, correc- tions of any defects or diseased conditions of the teeth and the ad- ministration of some standard preparation of irom. we arc apt to of aduijt two To Arrange Convention Of L. 0.
