How to avoid
Sea- Sickness
A
PART from the remedies for sea- sickness sold by chemists there are one or two things you can do to prevent it.
As soon as you get in the boat ask a seaman from which side the wind is blowing outside the harbour, then take a chair and sit that side;
It will be less comfortable than the sheltered side, but a good breeze has a stimulating effect.
HERE'S A CURE FOR ENNUI
By
Kathleen Norris
**The tragedy of women of my type is that they have nothing to do," a charming and clever woman said to me recently. There is no reason for. quoting her especially, except that she was speaking for hundreds and thousands of women who are in her position.
Hundreds and thousands? Yes, and perhaps there are millions like her. Women who aren't working in shops or offices, who aren't professional workers, who aren't so poor that the unlovely struggle to keep food in their children's stomachs, clothes on their children's backs, roofs over their chil- dren's heads, absorbs every instant of their working and waking hours.
These idle women live In hotels, boarding houses, apartments, and sometimes in their own homes,
Their domestic duties are shared, if they are housekeeping, by a part-time or all-time maid.
Breakfast is out of the way at nine; the man of the family doesn't como home to lunch. There are always knitting, bridge luncheons, movies and beauty shopa whereby to waste time, but this doesn't satisfy fine wo- men; they want these things, to be what they should be, the auxiliaries of their lives, not the basis.
On that side, too, you will avoid the upsetting sinell of fumes in oil- burning cross-Channel boats. The wind blows them away from you. had
These fumes upset even people who boast about being good sailors.

Tonsil Trouble
By Family Doctor
A
WOMAN suffering from heart trouble consulted me recently about her condition of nose and throat. Her teeth proved to be quite healthy and clean, but she suffered from chronic post-nasal catarrh.
Her tonsils were large, and flabby, but not definitely septic. Her whale condition was one of general weak ness, for which her serious heart trouble would account.
FIRST of all I ordered her a good tonic of iron and arsenic. It was fortunate
in her

And so they sit wringing their hands and saying. "I only wish I something real, something vital, to DOP"
And all about them. all the time, are a thousand things to do, a thousand wrongs crying out to be righted, a thousand hours of pain asking to be soothed, a thousand hearts and souls in darkness longing for the light.
On my desk, as I write this, lies an invitation that ought to be, ic- cepted by une million women. If li were, we would have a different world, and n botter world, to-morrow.
Most of them will never see it, they'll never understand the chance offered them, these idle women, because to them It will sound dull; Just one more of those stupidly reforming, resolutely helpful things that are so boresome.
But I can assure the occasional woman who WILL follow up this lead that her leisure time, her ennul, her fretted sense of idleness and useless- ness will vanish forever.
The letter is from Harold H. Townsend, of 2523 Graciosa Drive, Los Angeles, California. The printed name of the letterhead is "The Junior American Republle."

Who Mr. Townsend is I don't know. I never heard his name before, But through his letter and the booklet enclosed in it I gather he is at the head of a plan to create an American youth movement; a great dream by which hundreds of thousands of boys may be restored to their rightful heritage of food first, and then education, and, perhaps after that, honest ambition and the means to realize It,
Boys and girls are our only riches; the world will be theirs to help or to wreelt in a few years. And in all our great cities armies of them are growing up feeling that they have been socially and geonomically for- gotten. They are growing to misuse political powers without ever having learned how to control them, or what à code is, or what national ideals are.

In Mr. Townsend's letters he states that In one small section of his city 2,400 boys who were police court cases were put on their honour to behave well for three months. The reward, you mothers of happy country children who fish and swim und shoot and tramp and plenic all summer long, was an overnight camp and plenie. Just ONE night of normal boy life, as a reward for ninely days of self-control.
Only 981 made the grade. For which does one's heurt ache Hardest, I wonder; the little fellows who won their pitiful twenty-four hours of fun, or the 1439 who had to be refused and left behind?
Of the 961, two hundred had had no food at all on the day they left for their big holiday. Fifly had not eaten for a whole day or more. All but a very few had no regular source of food; stole it or got it by chance,
