Hiccoughing Succumbs to
Psychology
Up in Tennessee a young woman, after luffering
from hiccoughs for a period of 59 days, has been cured
by psychology, it is reported by physicians fo a Mem
phis hospital.
The victim had tried hundreds of so-called “cures"
without benefit, gradually wasting away until her
weight had become less than two-thirds of what tt
was at the beginninp of the unusual attack. She was
ro weak she could r.ot raise her hand, but could only
smile and wait for the rad.
And then the attending physicians, being ilesper
rate. gave her a sleeping potion and followed with a
d#se cf medicine that caused the most distressing nau
sea and pain when she awoke. As a matter of fact,
she was so troubled that she forgot to hiccough and
now she is on the road to recovery.
All of which reminds us of the ancient yam rbout
the doctor who knew little about the cure for most
diseases, but was a rro-eetter when It rame to curing
fits if a patient appeared for treatment of a bad case
of nv'esles. the good old doctor would promptly throw
him Into fits, then cure this attack and permit nature
to take Its course.
There Isn’t so much difference between the old fits
treatment and the psychology cure, r.fter rll.
About Paved Beach Roads
Residents of Hidalgo county are* anxious to see
Cameron county pave roads to the beach, according
to an editorial appearing in The Mercedes News.
The interest of our neighbors to the west Is proof
of the value of bring the gulf coast Just as near to
the center of population as possible by providing
pavement.
The News says^,
“Residents of Hidalgo county are watching with
Interest the efforts of Cameron county In getting their
highways paved to the coast. The Gulf beaches have
proved very popular with people from all over the
Valley this summer and the popularity will Increase
as soon as the gaps in the pavement are closed.
“Point Isabel and Boca Chlca seem to be very jeal
ous rivals, and citizens of bpth districts are bringing
pressure to bear on the commissioners court of that
county to have their respective roods the first to be
paved. Residents of Mercedes, favor the Boca Chlca
road because the beach there Is more accessible. It
can be reached without the Inconveniences of a Terry.
“Cameron county’s road program should not only
Include Boca Chlca and Point Isabel. It should take
care oT Holly Beach. Although there is no bathing it
that place the fishermen prefer it over either of the
other two and Valley fishermen are not In small
numbers.”
A Poor Investment Indeed
The other day. Jim Cummins, last survivor of the
old Jesse James gang of bank robbers, train bandits
and cattle thieves, died in a little Missouri town. He
had reached the rip old age of 82 years, and during j
the last quarter century is said to have been a model1
citizen, having the respect of all with whom he came |
In contact But Jim Cummins died In the county |
poorhouse. And this Is about as convincing proof as j
might be offered, we take it, to show that the busl- I
ness of crime does not pay. Indeed, it is about the
poorest investment any young man can make.

CHAPTER XXVII
In the bottom of Chatty’s little
bag was a stub of a pencil, and on
the wav out to the roadhouse she
asked Bryant to ston at a drug store.
It was a little neighborhood drug
store, and on the sidewalk in front
of its lighted windows stood a mail
box.
“What could be simpler?” Chatty
asked herself, getting out of the car.
“I’ll be back in a Jiffy. Don’t
bother to come with me,” she said
to Bryant. “I just have to get some
thing.”
The “something” that she Just had
to get was a two-cent stamn. She
got it from the stamp machine on
the counter.
Then she went into the telephone
booth at the back of the store.
And there, on Bryant’s note paper,
she, wrote an unsigned letter. It was
very short—only a few words, but
every one of them was tipped with
poison.
"Dear Mrs. Van Nuvs: Why don’t
vou ask vour husband why Miss
Herford. his former secretary, spent
this afternoon closed up in his of
fice with him?”
8he put it into the envelope she
had taken from Bryant’s desk,
stamped the envelope and drooped it
into the mall box on her wav back
to the car. where Bryant was wait
ing for her.
“Now we’ll see what happens!"
she thought, settbng back against
the cushions of the car. “Mavbe
nothing much wrlll happen—but you
never can tell!”
8he was exactly like a child who
-trikes a match to a firecracker,
tosses it a wav, and then waits to
hear it go off.

The Lollypon Jnn had changed
its name to The Wayside House.
The new name was painted above
lth“ door.
But. aside from that, it was the
same auaint. neat little place that
it always had been. It nestled be
hind its white nicket fence, small
and low and white as some co*v
fr>rm house fueked »a*v in a coun
trv lane a’l its white curtained
windows golden with the light from
within.
• ’t **
She heard a voice through the door saying: ‘‘A little
vacation sometimes is a good thing for married people.”
At the back of it was a long sun
room. And on this particular Satur
day night the orchestra was play
ing there and very table was taken.
Above the tables the faces of girls,
pretty, painted and smiling, seemed
to blossom like flowers in the light.
There were yellow cand!" ^’ tdes on
all the lights and all ove- he room
blue drifts of cigarette s: u!:c rose
toward the ceiling.
"When day is done—and crass is
wet with twilight’s dew,” sang the
leader of the orchestra, waving his
arms in time to the music. "My
lonely heart is sinking with the
sun—”
But there were no lonely hearts
In The Wayside House that Satur
day night. Hot. eager faces leaned
toward each other across the tables,
hands caught other hands, and held
them, hearts beat against hearts as
couple by couple rose to dance in the
tiny cleared space in the middle of
the room.
“I miss your kiss—your tender
lips
The whole night long.
I miss you most of all
When the day is done—”
sang the orchestra leader, sadly.
“I don’t miss anybody!” cried
Chatty, standing in the doorway
with both of her small hands clasp
ed around Bryant’s arm and her
face alight with her wide, happy
smile.
And just then, op the other side of
the crowded, lighted, smoke-filled.
noisy room, she saw Dave Jordan
looking at her.*
His brown eyes held hers for a
moment.
Then he turned his head away,
and said something to the girl who
was sitting across the table from
him . . . and, with a sense of shock.
Chatty saw that It was the gtrl lie
had bought flowers for on Easter
Saturday! The girl who wouldln't
marry a man unless he was making
ten thousand a year!
For a second Chatty felt a wave of
jealousy sweep over her like chills
and fever.
“It didn't take him long to start
rushing her again!” she thought,
bitterly. "I’ll bet he never did stop
liking her—”
Oh. but what difference did it
make, after all? He was wit of her
life now. and Bryant Dunning wai
in it. Bryant and all the fun and
along with him.
She smiled up at him again, with
wide, brilliant eyes, and rubbed her
cheek against the shoulder of hli
gray flannel coat.
You could do things like that in
The Wayside House late on a Satur
day night, and nobody paid any par
ticular attention to you.
There were too many things like
that going on in the long, narrow
room. Here a girl lay her head on
th® shoulder of the man who was
with her. her arm around his neck

Health and Right Living
BY BOYAL S. COPELAND, M. O.
Former Commbalooer of Health
How much thought do you give to
the protection of your nervous sys
tem? Do you lead such a life as
to build up and strengthen your
brain and nerves? Or, on the con
trary, are you gradually destroying
your nervous system?
It Is not difficult to determine
something of the nervous make-up
of the driver of an automobile. ,
Much can be learned by observa
tion, even of an experienced driver.
Speed mania, for example, is fre
quently a symptom of an Irritable
and overworked nervous system.
One of the most important things
in the world Is the development of
poise. The lack of it Is a good deal
like the absence of a balance wheel
in a watch. Without poise and men
tal balance the individual runs wild.
It takes a lot more poise to be a
conservative than it does to be a
radical of the radicals.
I wish there were some effective
way to drill Into the human family
the Importance of ratlence. Impa
tience and the mood that goes with
It are responsible for most of the
unhappiness and many of the acci
dents today.
But we must not stop here. The
nervous system is not well cared for
unless the body Is properly nour
ished. This part of the body is so
complex in its nature that it will
suffer greatly if it is not supplied
with an abundance of pure rich
blood.
Almost every day, somebody asks
me, “What is a good tonic for the
blood?” The answer Is: Good
'blood Is not supplied by the drug
store. It does not come In bottles,
boxes or powder papers. Good blood
depends upon an abundance of
good fod. It depends upon exer
cise and the observance of the rule;
of hygiene.
If you would have a normal nerv
ous system, perfect control of the
emotions and that precious posses
sion known as poise, you must have
good blood and practice the rules
right living.
