Health Talks BY WILLIAM BRADY, M.D. Beds H ALP of woman's ills may be summed up In one word backache. The almanacs, the nostrum maker's lltornture, tho vari ous fake "doctor books" published In the Interest of big quack medicine firms, and tho circular that comes wrapped around the seventy-nine cent bottle of faintly medicated booze highly recommended for woman's ills, all dwell upon tho seri ousness of this symptom In word and in picture. Yet we dare say tho sit uation of tho trouble in a good many cases at any rato Is in the bed she sleeps on. Tho Joint between the sacrum at the base of tho spine and the hip bones on either side Is easily strained by lying in a bed which sags under the weight of the body. In women much more than In men the liga ments and muscles which support these joints tire under strain and re lax, permitting slight slipping or mo bility In theso Joints. Tho result la backache, which Is distinguished by tho fact that It Is modified by changes of posture unlike tho back pains, which sometimes accompany Internal derangements In women. The woven wire springs so com monly found on beds almost in variably stretch nfter a time and sag under tho weight of the body. And then some of tho cheaper mattresses people buy under a mistaken notion of economy aro nothing but hillocks and valleys after a few weeks' uso. To any woman, or any man either, who is troubled with backache or mo iiuut.-,i nun uueiiucna or lame back without good and sufficient cause, wo would suggest a careful examination of tho bed for signs of inanition and collapse. If the springs or mattress seems to be run down or in need of a good tonic send it to the Salvation Army and In dulge In a new one.

Vest Pocket Essays i;v c;::oit(;ii i rrcn PONDEROUS PERSONAGES LUCVEZIA BORGIA LUCKKZTA IlonfilA was a lndy who lived in Italy four liun J died years ago and whoso repu tation i.s now being dry-cleaned alter having heen alluded to with scorn and horror for several centuries. Lucrezia was the daughter oJ old man Itorgia, who was a big noiss in Italy and was a Cardinal at a time when the clergy dispensed so much morality to the people that it didn't have any left for itself. At that ttmo a daughter was so valuable an asset that the assessors considered listing them as personal property and the man who had three or four hand some, daughters could very easily make a luxurious living as a father-in-law. When I.ucrezia was eleven years of ago her father married her to a Spaniard who had plenty of money and a good political pull". However, no sooner had he done this than ho discovered to his indignation that he could hnvo gotten a better offer from an Italian lord. In those day.j people did not stand on petty formal ities. Borgia promptly annulled the marriage and married his dauci.t-v all over again at a luindsouu; premium. Horuia. however, was climbing so fast that his daughter was doubling in v.ilue every year. This made the oiim: lord very w.-fs.1 as r. hush,i:td and presriiily the marriage was an nulled.

Wlille theso developments of wire less are going on, Nicola Tesla, the inventor of the wireless telegraph system, prints nn Interview picturing the early practicability of employing wireless electricity in warfare. The time is so near when fighting auto matically or by machinery alone can be Anticipated, Mr. Trsla deohires, that the United States Government should not delay to make suitable preparations to defend its coasts by wireless methods. His ingenious mind has conceived a plan ot nation al defence by which wireless sub marines having a wide range and battleships as well, unmanned and thereforo Involving no danger to the lives of the defendlug people, can be and Bacs mistake In Investing money in good bed-springs and good mattresses even if you have no lame back. You will get more pleasure from hitting the hay if your bed is alluring. So often, so very often, a doctor has to order a couple of slats Bllpped under a sagging bedspring in order to relieve the tired, aching back of the patient under his care. It is sur prising how people will lie in a verit able crater and wonder what in thun der makes their back ache so much. QUESTIONS AXD AXSWKUS Short And Sweet Queries, like prayers, are most ef fective, in our opinion, when made short and sweet. At any rute we scan but scantily those duodecimo, volumes which some readers Inflict upon us. Another shortcoming of ours is tho fact that we generally neglect to road tho other side when a correspondent writes on both sides of the paper. And of course we can pay no attention to the anonymous query, even though it is signed "Sin cerely yours, A Constant Header" as though sincerity and anonymity could ever be compatible! Adenoids In Rabies Js it ever necessary for a baby six teen months old to have an operation for adenoids t demands a worried father. My doctor says our two chil dren have them and they should be operated on at once. They are six teen months and four years old respectively. Answer Your doctor is probably right. It is often necessary to operate on babies a few months old for adenoids, and It is a lot safer than to lot the trouble go untreated.

Telescopes to aid in this sort of defensive warfnre have been devised, so that the inventor looks forwaid with confidence to the timo when invasions can bo repelled with almost no peril to the defensive forces. Such a triumph of machinery over war may not be so chimerical as ap pears at first thought. Striking as the suggestion of Mr. Tesla Is, it is , ,L , no more amazing than some of the wonders with which the modern world Is already familiar.

A Kcccint Is It Final? Q. Is the following true: In mak ing an indorsement for receipt of part payment, the date and amount arc all that is necessary, and under no circumstances should the holder write his name, as that would can cel the whole amount? A. The mere fact that one at taches his signature, together with the date and amount, to a receipt for part payment of a debt or claim, will do no harm. It cannot show more than it purports to show. Further, a receipt, either for the whole or only a part of the Indebtedness, is merely prima fnc'u- evidence and is always open to explanatory or con-, tradictory proof. It is merely a question of fact as to whether the debt, either in whole or in pari, has been paid, but a person who attacks a receipt lias the burden of proving that it is not correct.

She (,-lvos herself uway by letting It come with the same volume whether she's laughing at a good Joke, or merely at someone's quotation of nn old Baw. Plainly, she's snatching any excuse to laugh. She thinks It's captivating. Someono has spoiled her by telling her so. "It Just does me good to hear you laugh," has spoiled many a young girl's natural sponianony; aner mat, she tries to do everyone good. She likes the spontaneity; after that, she tries to role of Little Sunshine. And the minute she begins to act, she spoils herself. She's too young to act cleverly enough to delude us; even professional actresses bare been known to fall at the game. "She's so natural," is the nicest thing that can be said of a young girl.
