To Keep Children Healthy.

Regular feeding. pure air, free sun
shine. water. freedom in dress, and
cleanliness should be the inhertance
of every child. Do nos cover the
child's head while he sleeps, nor keep
him in an unventilated room. Know
ing that the atmosphere is forty miles
deep. it certainly is a useless piece of
economy to inhale the same air more
than once First. let the child sleep
in a cool. well-aired room. and, if pos
sible. in the morning give the bath,
then take him outdoors, where he
should remain not less than six hours.
Water Should be given before each
feeding. and not less than six times a
dav. Every element of the body, ex-
cept the enamel of the teeth, contains
salt. therefore it is necessary that
plenty Of salt be given the child. With
the free use of salt in the food during
the first two wears in life the second
set of teeth viii be much better.

Marriaae Laws Are Lax.

In discussing the prevalence Of di-
vorce it is certain that one root OF
present evils may be found in the laws
governing marriage, says Ida Hustled
Harper in The Delineator for Septem-
Der.
There is no other business contract
so easily and carelessly entered into.
Boys and girls can make a contract
70 marry at an age when they could
not make one to buy a piece of fur
niture. In many states no license is
necessary. In some of them girls of
twelve or fourteen do not need the
consent of parents No publicity is
required. no previous announcements
If the laws of one State offer any
hindrance. the parties have but to go
across the border into another. The
insane may marry, feeble-minded.
criminals. paupers. consumptives-the
whole aim of the State is as many
marriages as possible, regardless OF
the consequences. The marvel is not
that so many but that so few end in
the divorce court.
