ABOUT Lnrnosv-iiansriivo msrzasn

Some months ago I referred to the publication called the "star," edited and published by the pgt. lents of the hospital for lepers at Cal's-Ville. Louisiana. This public. etiqn points out that leprosy, nan. sens disease, lr not communicable. never was communicable, and that Patients with leprosy should not be isolated.

l" “Prvvecdlnss of Royal Society Oi MBdlClHE," Landon, D; R_ G_ D‘ Simons quotes Drs. Rogers and Muir as Sayir-s. “As ions as we had no treatment of material value there was scme excuse for tho crud- llies of the middle ages, tho life. long segregation of lepers." To- day. hflwcver, one can save energy and money by isolating only the malignant l.‘ be of leprosy, not what is known as the- llansen type-the comrnorr fonn of leprosy. The Han- sen type patient cured of his lep- rosy’ and returned home will en. courage others to undergo ade- qiiate treatment since they will sec by this example that leprosy is no longer a crime which is punish- ed by lfllpPlSOlDillElll for life, but that it is curable and certainly, in the artist majority of cases. is not Contagious. Lepers and sufferers from disease classified as leprosy will no longer fly from police and doctor.

What ls the suggestion of Dr. Simona?

ill All patients with infectious leprosy should remain in isolation. Lepor homes should be called "clinics". t2) The reactions should be negative for at least two years without the appearance of new Sirnptcms before the patients dis- charge is considered. <3) All han- senlde patients (nodular leprosy) should be discharged immediately. though they would have to remain under regular supervision of a skin specialist.

The following should be cared for by public health authorities:

1 Those cases who suffer from general poor health or who return to unhealthy and poor environment. or those who are likely to contract —24 to 32 per cent of all lepers die from tuberculosis, tuberculosis, and many more suffer from it.

Isolation or segregation should depend not on the diagnosis of leprosy but on the differential diagnosis between infectious malig- nant leprosy and the noninfectious hansenide leprosy. From leprosy hospitals at present patients are allowed to visit their homes twice a year for a month at a. time. How different this from total isolation of past years.

For Sunday, September 18

ALTHOUGH there are signs of much real work to be done with need for developing either details, systems, tactics. or putting pro- jects of scme semblance of ways and means for future basic development or promotion. yet there is threat of so many angles of delay. frustration or complications, that, it might be judicious to postpone active opera- tions until the mind be cleared or some sinister or possibly queer fac- tors ccvme up (or solution. Forcing issues under sordid or tangled 1n- volvements may be so much "dead wood" or waste of physical energy 0r time. For the Birthday

Those whosg birthday it ls, are confronted by I. period of conflict- ing circumstances. in which labor, work or protects are definitely up for sober manipulation, for meth- odically managing on solid and en- during techniques. Yet strange or sinister blocks seem to hsirrvper any genuine constructive work. Corn- plication. strange entanglements or sinister machinations seem to be- cloud the mentality ‘or w under- mine the energies and ambitions. It may take quiet study or reflec- tion with probably timely aid from older heads or advisers to make things “cllck" to concrete advan- tage. ' A child born on this day while serious, earnest and willing with ability and sound equipment for successful accomplishment, yet may be handicapped by slow mental pro- cesses or other curious or subtle lmpediimmt to success.

"Yes", James observed to Mr. C. from the house on the hill this evening, “it's s strange thing-but many of the things we most ap- preciate in this world can't be bought. Take good health, for ex-i ample, and - - - but there's so! many when a person comes to consider them, that there's really too many to name." He was, we,

She had been our visitor, chat- ting easily with Mr. C., a trusted friend of hers, and with another, a young lady, cousin to her, our guest for the week-end. Grand- daughtefs conversation with Mr. C. is amusing to listen to. Per- haps for the time overlooked in the general talk, she commences

Merry Widows. And Otherwise

Grief-Stricken Widows Prey

To Unscrupulous Advisers

There are three kinds of widows: Those to whom widowhood comes as the most crushing blow thiit Fate could deal. Those to whom it comes as the end of n long martyrdom and to whom it is the greatest blessing that Heaven could bestow. And .those who achieve widowhood by way of the divorce court and seldom find it satisfactory. No woman is more to be pitied than the one who loses a good. kind husband who loved hcr and whom she worshipped. He hod protected her, sheltered her, stood between her iind cvcry hardship and without him she is as forlorn and lonely as a child lost in the durk. lie has been the center of hcr world. When he is gone, all is gone.

Often added to seizes her when she

hcr desolation is the terror that thinks of a future in which she must. fond the wolf from her door. The funeral Will take all of their meager savings. Helpless Children are Fllngin! f0 h" skirts and she knows nothing 1"" h°w to be -a good ivife end "will" and housekeeper. She knows no trade_by which she can earn a dol- lar, For the moment, at least, she wishes that she and the babies could have gone with the tender husband and father. Sometimes the death of her husband comes to .1 womamas thc breaking of his shackles comes to a slave. For her childrens sake. for prlde's sake, or because she was helpless, she has endured years of grinding tyranny. She has suffered herself to bf abused 11nd neglected. She has been humiliated by having t0 iisk like a bcBBBI‘ 501‘ money that. she has earned ten times over. . ‘ >

At last it is over. She is free. The fault-finding voice is stilled. The miserly hands have loosened their clutch on_ the check-book. No longer need she go in fear and trembling. Sometimes a widow wears n veil to hide the ravages that grief has made. Sometimes she wears a veil to conceal the relief in her eyes._

Then there is the woman whose widowhood is a racket entered into for the sake of alimony, or because she thinks she can marry more profitably the second time.

There are those pathetic widows who have their widowhood forced upon them by unfaithful husbands who have tired o! them ind Wfln! to swap an old wife for a fairer and younger one. Of all widows. these are the most deserving of sympathy because U19)’ have 11°! W!" the memory of a good husband to comfort them. ‘ .

But however widowhood comes to a woman. she finds to her amazement that it sets her apart, and brings her strange and disil- lusionlng experiences. .

The first is that widows seem to be regarded, not: only by pro- fessional crooks and thieves, but by all of the overly optimistic ne-er- do-wclls among her acquaintance as their legitimate prey. No sooner

One might think that some compassion would stir even in the stoniest breast for a woman too grief-stricken to be able to think clearly; dazed and confused, with no knowledge or experience of pro- blems she is called on for the first time to solve. Everybody with a hole in the ground, or a piece of blue sky to sell. everybody with rotten bonds and wildcat stocks, camps on hcr door- step and tries to gyp her out of the money on which her whole life and that. of hcr children depends.

There must be a widow list, as there is a sucker list of easy marks, for every widow with a little insurance has high-powered salesmen try to sell her schemes so palpably fraudulent that. they would insult the intelligence of a moron.
