of the aristocracy and fer a year was
supremely happy. She was much in

admired him without stint. He waa

TOLD TO LIVE APART
LONDON-, Aug. 23. (I. X. ft.)
I'nhappy husbands and wives should
be forced to live apart temporarily,
Dr. Helen Boyle, head of a big Brigh
ton hospital, told the British Medical
association, meeting at Newcastle.
In thiH manner, added Dr. Boyle,
many martial "grouches" would dis
appear, and divorce lawyers would be
deprived of -most of their business.
'Tnhnppiness is only a disease,"
said Dr. Boyle, who recently returned
from the. Vnlted .States, where she in
vestigated mental cures. "It is not
nor mal for a man or woman to bo un
happy for more than a short time.
'and it Is the business of doctors "to
jmako that known to everyone,
j "We should have special wards In
our hospitals for parents seriously !ef-
flicted with unhapplness. They should
have highly trained nurses who know
how to drive away the blues. Doctors
should proscribe! temporary separa
tions, trips to the movies, sea veivagos
anything to break up spedls of un
happlness." Dr. Boyle gave the medicos another
thing to think about in her lecture
on tinhappini'ss.
".V patient who is under weight and
at the same time unhappy canned, be
cured merely by mental treatment o"
change in surroundings," site raid.
."The first task should be to bring him
jbaek to normal weight, then tn-at-!
m nt becomes easy ami effective."
The I-lvening News disagrees with
Dr. ho'.ioh suggestion ror te mpor:, ry I
