Jhilis Usually Nature’s Warning to See About Your Health
SOMETHING WRONG IF
YOU’RE ALWA YS COLD
Frequent Chilliness May Be a Symptom of Influenza
Or It May Be Brought on by Lowered Vitality, Poor
Circulation or Other Factors, Says Dr. Copeland.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND. M. D.
United Staten Senator from New York.
I'ormer Commissioner of Health, Xcio York City.
IN Frequently I am asked to explain the significance of chilliness,
i or the actual chill which la frequently the first symptom of
influenza or some other disease. Many of the serious diseases
•Je ushered In with this symptom.
•Frequent chilliness may be an evidence of
impairment of the circulation. The heart is not
functioning as it should. It does not drive the
blood in forceful streams to every part of the
body. This in turn comes from some impair
ment of the bodily vigor.
There arc many things that lower human
vitality. Overwork, loss of sleep, need of a vaca
tion, domestic discoid, lack of human interest, as
well as the many infectious to which the body
is sub^eet. nay be the cause for lowered vitality
of winch chilliness is a symptom.
It is tremendously important that everv
one should cat regularly. Everybody should
take enough of the nourishing foods which are
essential to rood healtlh and led blood.
Lots of times you feel down and out when
CQpriANtj wb°l* trouble m you are hungry. Don’t
. you know* how cross vou feel and how impossible
seems about a Quarter to seven in the evening. You may not
that you are hungry, but a cup of hot hroth. followed by a

nnd Mot oil ves&rl* Under the strain
to which you hava subjected > our
organs, you could not expect to have
an abundance of blood sent to ev**ry
part of your bode.
Chtlllne** may be merely a symp
tom of that lowered vitality. This
Is temporary, of courre, but It Is
very re-vl tn Sts production of sy-np
tome of discomfort.
The blood need* to be replenished
and purified all the time. It must
have an abundance of oxygen In
order to do Us work of healing and

Love’s Awakening Steadfast Woman, j
__—By Adele Garrison—
Mary Keren/* to Madge That ft or Stage “Career” Was Not the
Deciding Factor in tier Agreeing to Vcritzcns “Conditions”
THERE was a note in Mary's ex-1
cited voles which stirred me
with fear thet the girl's eihtcal
standards were being weakened by
the passionate sense of injustice, end
the resentment which ehe patently
was cherishing against Philip Verit
zen. Only too well 1 remembered
the day ehe Juat bad recalled to me
when ehe bad confessed to her em
ployer that she had broken hie train
ing schedule and risked the danger
of undesirable publicity as his prot
egee by her esoapade as the masked
dancer at the night club. It had
been one of the big moments of her
life, a distinct turning point in her
character development and iny mem
ory fondly held the picture of her
tense young figure going bravely to
meat the verdict of the man from
whom aha expected no lenience. Tet
now her voice and words held an un
deniable sneer at her high resolve of
that hour.
I could do nothing, now. however,
lave provide a road on which her
excited atory could travel, and I laid
down another plank by a prompt
answer to her question.
• Naturally, dear,* I always have
had a theory aa to the conditions
Mr. Veritaen Imposed upon you. but
I’d rather hear them from you."
“Tea. I suppose It sun't hard to
dope out." ehe replied. “Wall! In the
first place the old crocodile told ine
he'd known I was the masked dan
cer all the lime, and that he'd been
waiting to see whether I’d be honest
enough to come and tell him about
it He could give Ananias three
strokes a hole and win eight up.
that old buzzard. But of course I
had to pretend to swallow it.”
I told myself apprehensively that
If Mary applied another name of out
landish beast or bird to stately
Philip Verllzen. I could not be re
sponsible for the behavior of my
laughter muscles.
“Then he handed out a long rptel
about, my being the first protegee
who ever had defied his orders la
the slightest degree without t*ing
kicked off the earth pronto. I guest
that's right at that, though, isa t
It?" |
“I am sure of It." I told her truth
fullv.
"But thst was on your account,"
the said to my aotontshment and
embsmanment. I was so furious
that T could not keep my cheeks
from flaming as ehe rattled on.
"Hi told m« that be »aa reluctant
to grieve you by depriving me of the
-hance he had promised you he I
would give me. and that he would
tab* me back upon one condi
tion—that I would cure Noei of what
he very kindly called 'the bej i Mind
infatuation.'
.
► "Oh! there weren’t any *ifs* or
’amis’ or ’maybes,' ” she went on bit
terly. "He mado me promise that I
wouldn't speak to Noel except when
it would bo noticeable not to talk to
hire, and that I would make Noel h*.
lieve I had no uso for him, prefer
ably by pretending to be interested
in some other young man. That’s
the reason the old hyena has always
grinned whene\*r Georges has been
dancing around.”
I laughed outright as I had told
myself I would have to do. and after
a puxalcd look at me she gave me
an answering grin of comprehension.
"I srueos X have made a menagerie
out of the old fool." ahe said, "hut
those are mild names eomparsd with
tha onaa I'd like to call him if yoa
weren't a lady. I’m perfectly willing
to forget t was 'raised* to be one.
**I was such an ambitious little
fool." she went on slowly, "that in
i-tead of giving him the ewlft kick
in the slats he deserved, I agreed to
his conditions, and promised to show
Noel the way to the sidewalk. And
now everything's out, —gone—'de
parted—and I'm on the outside, look*
ing in. But will I make that old lad
pay? Just watch me a lew years
from now. I know now where I can
hurt him most, and little Mary isn’t
the gel who won't spread the mus
tard plaster.**
That she' wag talking wildly, child
ishly. 1 know. But still there was
somethin* steely in her voice which
showed how d*tp was her hurt. I
hated to have her dwell upon Philip
Veritxen’e cruelty any longer, but
I could not accept her self depreca
tory explanation that It was her am
bition alone which made her accede
to her employer’s conditions. Both
Idltlan and f had suspected that ha
skilfully had sounded another note,
and I put our suspicion Into word*
•Tell me. Mary." I commanded,
"was your ambition the only reason
you made that promise? Didn’t Mr.
Veriixen threaten you that If Noel
persisted in ble affection for you
hie father would disown him arsis
and wasn't it fear for Noel rather
than for yourself that was behind
your derision?"
Her glance fell away from ■min.-,
and her cheeka flamed. Then h«r
eyes lifted to mine again resolutely
