MRS. JOHN a. LOGAN'S
TALKS TO WOMEN
This is the first of Mrs. Loeon's series
of Informative Tolks

w as are expressed on the back
page in this number ? Because it
is a matter of the greatest importance to
the bride. She gives her all to the man
she loves and marries Time works
many changes and we know not what
tomorrow may bring forth. AS a pre-
caution against unforeseen reverses In
business, or other lines, every man who
undertakes the responsibility of marriage
should be ready to protect his wife, not
only physically but financially.
Instead of presenting his bride with
jewelry-or other evidences of regard as
unsubstantial-would it not be more
sensible and a safer investment of his
money, as well as protection for her,
if he would give life insurance policy
for any amount that he could afford to
keep up? The jewel may be lost, stolen
or sacrificed, but the insurance policy
throughout every year is a protection:
and then, if no death occurs, at the end
of a few years the little premium paid
each year will have grown into a sum
incOmprehensively large. This is called
Endowment Insurance" and is simply
the modern, twentieth-century way of
saving.
Persons entering into matrimony
should be sensible and look at things as
they are, and act accordingly. A provi-
dent, far-seeing man worthy of good
woman's devotion will prove his love and
wisdom by making the best possible
provision for her while they are together,
ha f.f,tS Shnr cha ba
left alone in the world.
There should be some safeguard of law
thrown about girls who neglect to think
of the morrow They are in love with
some young man. They become en-
gagged to him and marry. The honey
moon is over, sickness follows, and, not
infrequently, the death of the husband
The bride of few brief months or years
finds herself widowed, with a child, or
children, to support.
Then, if the husband and wife have
had the forethought and good judgment
to provide for just such emergencies
(Which occur daily, untold misery, want,
and deprivation are avoided.
Life is earnest, and its romance cannot
supply the daily necessities of every
human soul-naught save money can do
that Therefore, it behooves every man
and woman entering into the marriage
relation, knowing as they do their respon-
sbilities and cares are destined to multi
ply, to see to it that there is some never
failing source, should trouble come Life
insurance is the most reliable bulwark
against misfortune and the surest retreat
in the time of trouble.
| entreat you young women about to
become brides to throw aside sentiment,
and reason with the men You are about
to marry Discuss with them this most
vital matter of protection. 1t gives a
feeling of security and guards against
the possibility of want and worry for the
woman he loves. Send to me for liter
ature of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co. and sit down with your fiance and
adopt the plan suited to your circum-
stances; both will then be happy in the
thought that if he lives to a good old
age the policy will continue TO increase
in value, and if sorrow should come al,
too soon. you are fortified against the
bitterness of absolute poverty.

NOW is THE TINE TO USE HYOMEI
Cures Catarrh and Prevents Colds.
No Stomach Dosing, Just Breath II.

AT this season of the year, catarrhal
troubles are very prevalent, and nearly
every person suffers to certain eX-
tent.
Catarrh is actually the result of a
succession of colds and can be easily
prev ented if the proper treatment is
followed.
Hyomei is natural yet scientific
cure for the colds and grip troubles
that lead. to catarrh, as well as posi-
tive cure for the disease itself.
The balsamic air of Hyomei breathed
through the small pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit is filled with
germ-killing and health-giving
qualities that penetrate to the minut-
est air cells Of the head, throat and
lungs. 1t kills all catarrhal germs
frees the muscous membrane from
poisonous microbes, and makes per-
feet and complete cure OF catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81,
while extra bottles OF Hyomei can
be procured for so cents. John E.
DAILY sells Hyomei on the ''no cure, no
pay" plan, and will refund the money
if it fails to give perfect satisfaction
You take no risk whatever in using
Hyomei. 1t is the only treatment
sold under guarantee of this nature
where a leadin- local druggist agrees
to return the money if the treatment
fails to cure.

sued an order that under no circum
stances shall passenger trains exceed
their schedule speed. No matter how
late train may be, the engineer must

than his schedule calls for.
The explanation is made that the

disaster which might occur on &C
count of fast running in az effort to
make up lost time.
ga large majority of the winter

fort to be worth the possible cost, -"

ELECTRICITY IN WARFARE.
1t II Widely Used in the Fortified.
tions Along Our Sea
Coast.

An interesting instance of the rapid
extension Of the use Of electricity is
furnished by the Notifications distrib-
uted along our coast, says the Scientific
American. A few years ago the electric
light was introduced, to add to the COM
fort Of the garrisons and to provide bet
ter illumination of the works. Once q
generating plant had been installed
there was at hand supply Of power in
a convenient and easily comfortable
form, and this has led to its use for pur-
poses which were not contemplated at
the time the plant was installed.
Electric fans have been put in to
make the living quarters more comfort
able In hot weather and electric motors
have been adopted for training the guns,
a class of work for which they are par
ticularly well adapted. Motors are
used to drive the ammunition hoists
and to do other work which before had
either been done by hand or some less
satisfactory power. Searchlights have
been installed, enabling fertilization
to sweep the sea at night. The various
posts of the fortress are connected to-
gether by telephone. so that the COM
mandant is In touch at all times with
the entire garrison and can instantly
transmit orders to any point. The vari-
Gus Notifications along the coast are
tied together by telephone and tele-
graph, so that on the appearance Of the
enemy at any point all the Notifications
would be informed of it. Submarine
mines are controlled electrically and
even the guns may be fred by this
means by an oflcer at some distant
point. BY means Of wireless telegra-
ply fertilization can be kept in touch
with the scouting vessels and would be
informed Of the approach Of the enemy
long before he is visible from the coast.
The telautograph may be brought into
service for transmitting orders and
electric signaling lights are replacing
the older types.
Electric lights are used for range
Under crosshairy, for lighting the Ia1Ko.
