n u^J] |U ^JOhN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D needless tragedy About three years ago, a housewife began to feel unable to perform her usual duties; she consulted a physician, who found a small tumor of hte uter us. She was about 46. The doctor kept her under observa tion. saying ‘T can remove the thing at any time, but will try to cure without operation if possible.” He observed that the tumor grew rapidly in spite of his pal liative measures- The patient grew dissatisfied, and changed doctors. The new one paid no attention to the tumor, and said she had diabetes, placing her on a strict diet at once. Not feeling any better as time went on, the patient had the "staff chemist” of a quack in stitution make a urinalysis; this self-styled “expert” discovered that the patient had Bright’s di sease! . . . Time went on— dragged on. Haemorrhages set in, which with the diet, greatly weakened the poor woman. A third doctor said it was “the change” and that “all women were troubled that way.” On advice from her second physician, she went to a hospital m the nearby city. Here she was subjected to a clinical diag nosis, and w'as told that it was not advisable to do anything ra dical at that time. She return ed home and kept on dieting— and losing. She applied to me about one week ago at this writing. 1 found absolutely no diabetes or Brights disease. A search for the source of the bleeding re vealed cancer, involving nearly every organ within the pelvis, and long past the stage when operation could do more than to hasten the end! She has no prospect of living six months, if that long. . . . Had this growth been remov ed PROMPTLY by the first pnvsician—and he was capable —she might be well today; but the vitally precious interval has passed, and by neglect and ut ter ignorance of conditions. Lnless one knows that it is XOT a malignancy, it is better to operate than to take chances. Remember that. Abraham a Man of Faith. Lesson tor May 2nd. Gene sis 12:1-9. Golden Text: Hebrews 11:8. The story of Abraham is at tractive to the highest degree. He has been well called "a mighty idealist” who represents "one of the turning points in the fortunes of mankind.” There are many reasons why he appeals to us. His name, which means “father of a great multitude,” reminds us that he is honored as the sire of the faithful people of God in their long and tragic pilgrimage. Then, too, he was a ridh man who enjoyed unbroken prosper ity. Such good fortune ob viously makes a strong appeal in a day like our own when we are suffering from the effects of a long-continued depression. And Abraham is also distin guished fo his generosity- Think of his beautiful hospitality to ward the three mysterious, an gelic strangers who unexpected ly put in an appearance "by the oaks of Mature.” Note also his liberal attitude toward Lot, his selfish nephew. But more important than Abraham’s generosity is his sturdy faith. As James tells us, he “was called the Friend of God.’’ His life was rootel in fellowship with the eternal. He ‘'believed,” writes Dr. Henry van Dyke, “in a God who was not lower but higher than him | self, a God of purity, of holi ness, of truth, of mercy.” While those about him were worship ping idols Abraham reverenced and served the true God hidden from human eyes. But note that his life was a severe trial of this faith. He was tested in the crucible of adversity. At the beginning of his career the Lord bade him forsake his home, and settle in an unknown land to the west. And “he went out, not know ing whither he went.” i But a more grievous trial of Abraham’s trust was the call 'to sacrifice his dearly loved son, ‘Isaac. Here we find illustrated the old truth that man’s extre mity is God’s opportunity. When it seemed certain that Issue’s life was to be snuffed out, Provid ence interviewed and he was spared. Bruce Barton Says HUMAN NATURE IMPROVES I have a vivid memory of a certain Sunday morning when I was seven years old. My fathei, a clergyman, had never purchas ed a Sunday newspaper. On this particuler mornig he came down to breakfast looking deeply con cerned, and said to mother: “I feel today that I must know the news before I go into the pulpit. ’ The news that he felt that he must know was about the rail road strike in Chicago, where men were killing each other, and Grover Cleveland had ordered out the Federal troops. We have made a lot of pro* gress in the intervening years. A wise old professor in my college used to quote the follow ing verse from the Psalms: “What is man that thou are mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visited him ?” Most people, he said, inter pret that to mean: “What does petty, futile man amount to, that you (God) should give him any thought ?” A better interpretation, the professor argued, is this: “What! a wonderful creature man must, be that even God is mindful of him and likes to visit him.” | THE COMPETENT ARE RARE | An important New Yorker called me up to ask about two doctors who run a clinic in a little town in Canada. He knew I had visited them some years ago and that they did me much good. I described them to him in the words of one of their patients “They are human ferrets,” I said. “They seem to be able to discover and correct conditions where even speciailsts have fail ed.” The man went up to the clinic and stayed three weeks. Yester day he telephoned me to say that he had not felt so well in years. He was so enthusiastic that I could hardly get him off the phone. I sent another man up to Bill Brown’s health farm opposite West Point. The man is vice president of a business that has had plenty of problems. He was nervous and discouraged. He came back from Bill’s on top of the world. I referred a friend to an archi tect who has done some very clever work for us on our coun try house. My friend was de lighted. The doctors write me letters of thanks. So does Bill- So does the architect. They think T have done them a friendly ser vice. I reply that, on the con trary, the obligation is entirely on my part. They have given me one of the best pleasures in life, the pleasure of recommend ing someone who is rally com petent. ~ REFUGEES SWING TO SAFE TY—Refugees from Spain being lowered by crane on to the deck of a British destroyer in Span l ish waters for their passage to ^ Marseilles, France, after flight H from their wartorn country, rn—in-ir~ IN CREATING the odorless marigold, j All America Gold Medal winner for l the best new flower of 1937, David Burpee used the osmoscope to mag nify any faintest possible odor.

If you are care ful to adhere to a balanced diet during the months of pregnancy, you will be doing much toward making your baby strong and healthy. At the same time, you will be keeping yourself well, and you must think of that factor constantly. You will want to nurse your baby when he comes, and your ability to do so depens on your own health. This is what you must eat every day: 1. A quart of milk 2. Green and root vegetables. 3. Fruit—fresh, dried or can ned. 4. Dark cereals and dark breads. d. Keai butter. 6. A small amount of meat, fish or eggs. 7. Eight glasses of water daily. Your doctor may add to this list, or subtract from it, to suit your individual needs. You should eat the foods you have always liked and those you know agree with you. Avoid large amounts of rich desserts, candy and pastries. Eat a fruit meal at night before you go to bed. Eat three meals a day, and eat them at regular hours Beauty specialists, like others, ■ re doing a iot of thinking about the future. “One of the things !"'f_ Bre future,” says a famous hair dresser, “will be rinses (not dyes') which turn a woman’s hair red, green, orange, blue and other bright colors and make it glow under artificial light. This! may sound ridiculous now, but| twenty years ago the idea of a I permanent wave was scoffed at. “Xew bjeas always are consi dered preposterous, but I think it quite likely that the day will come when a woman will tint her hair a bright luminous hue for an evening party or dance. If she likes she will be able to wash it out the next morning.” The vogue for hand-quilting has crept into housecoats. One especially attractive model can be worn as an evening wrap, breakfast negligee or informal dining costume. Made of a blue and white cotton print and lin ed with the same print in red and white, this is quilted all over in a small diamond pattern. It is cut on classical lines and is louble breasted. The red and Adiite print, used for the lining, fashions collar and cuffs. * * * Among the newest notes in fable decoration are little tapers in rainbow colors to be used a mong one’s flowers. These are stuck into any type of flower holder exactly as are the stems of flowers. They are absolutely dripless and can be cut with your: flower scissors so that they may. be arranged at different heights and angles. * * * Here is an “end of the day” pickup prescribed by a famous beauty specialist for the radiant Claudette Colbert: “And an ice! cube to a saucer filled with eau de cologne. Bathe the face in this iced liquid and leave it wet. Fan it Avith a towel to assist two small pieces of cotton in the lo tion and place over the eyes.! This is a perfect inducement to a relaxing beauty nap, from which you will awaken all re-j freshed and ready to go.” }■ \ I' i H F.
