COMMON MISTAKE OF
MARRYING FOR A HOME

ONE Is womans real sphere of usefulness how
much conditions and necessities have forced
her into other and extended ones.
No true is Indifferent to home and all that 1t
means to herself and others.
The more truly womanly she is, the she appre-
ciates and values 1t.
But to marry for the homes sake is like buying pic
ture for its Frame valung the binding of the book
above the book itself.
No one can make the home more important thing In
married life than the marries and in possible
case can the home satisfy If the husband fails.
Love for the marries will make home of an
attic, or the weather-side of hedge-row.
But married life, where the home first and the
husband second, bad third is hideous ravesty Of
what was meant to be- and can never draw anything
but a blank in the marriage lottery.
The girl who marres a home provided herself
for the best of her days with which she must
halve with another being.
The girl who marries for home mistaken the
who marres for housekeeper.
Both obvious of the marriage the
highest and the best.
Both put the home before the maker it, and that
leads to disappointment and failure In the end
Marriage hardly DE lottery in the of these
people.
could tell them confidently beforehand that 1t
will draw anything in their but ereary blank

HAUTOH
CAUSE OF
DISEASES

THE number of wo-
/ men who are bless
ed with the goods
of this world in the shape
of an automobile brough-
am is 0 m p ar tiv 9 ly
small.
If you happen to be one
of the manv dependent
upon the trolley for long
distance runs and on your
own exertions for short
stretches, console your
self with the fact that
autoing is an unhealthy
sport.
Doctors in our large
cities are now forbidding
it to their patients-and
endeavoring themselves to
break off the habit.
It is now blamed for in
somnia and wrecked nery-
Gus systems, the cause Of
which could not at first be
determined.
1t is claimed that un-
mistakable auto" faces
can be picked out in every
crowd by the practiced
eye.
Anxiety, over-exertion
and prolo n g e d nerve
strain are the cause of
this condition The heart
is overtaxed and the nerv-
Gus forces drained.
If moderation W e T g
used the accompanying
ills would be- less severe.
But moderation is a term
unknown to most devotees
of the motor.
Laws are passed, ar
rests made. fines imposed
and paid-yet the auto
fiend scorches.
But the nervous trou-
bles are not all. Many
other "auto" diseases are
developing. Prominent
among these are catarrhal
inflammation of the eye,
nose, ear, throat, pharynx,
larynx, bronchial tubes
and middle ear-not to
speak of the mastoid dis
eases, neuralgias, facial
and otherwise.
