LONE SETTLERS HUNT WIVES.
Young Bachelors Of Riverton, Wyo.

Riverton. Wyo.-Many Of the young
men who have filed on homesteads on
the Wind river or Shoshone Indian
reservation. part of which was thrown
open to settlement last summer. are
unmarried and living alone in shan
ties on their claims. and are very de-
sirous OF procuring wives for them
selves.
In furtherance OF this end they have
organized what is known as the River
ton Bachelors club, and through the
agency of this club have begun sys-
tematic search for helpmeets to re-
lieve their loneliness and do their
housework.
They have inserted in state papers
an advertisement for wives. and they
will later advertise in papers through
out the country unless they should in
the meantime obtain helpmeets.
Young women who may desire to
correspond with any OF these young
men with a view OF matrimony are re-
quested to address the secretary OF
the club. who will promptly give them
any Information they may desire re-
garding the age, personal appearance,
habits. financial circumstances. etc. OF
any Of the wife seekers.
The members of the club are willing
to pay the railroad fares and other
travelling expenses of any young wo'
man who may come here with the ex-
pectation OF getting married. and
should any young woman who may
come change her mind after arriving
on the ground and desire to go back
home single, her expenses will be
paid.

be removed only by soaking in jarelle or

are treated with such agents as VIII re-

Tables.

Are one Of the elementary furnishings Of a

or the most powerful safeguards against
disease especially during the period of
childhood is the diet. A we'll nourished
body-that is TO say, one that is supplied
with food that II both digests and assimi-
lates-has more resistance than the poorly
nourished one. The brain of the child.
which like all the other organs OF its body
Is in state OF growth and development. has
a direct and peculiar influence upon the di-
gestive organs. hence the necessity of a
diet suited TO the needs of the young body
becomes apparent. No rational mother
would require her child of tender age 10 per-
form manual labor, yet how many of them
who claim TO be not only rational but in
formed will place the food of a man before
the child and bid him eat? AS q result the
digestive organs are overtaxed and must
make undue demands upon the blood-the
working force-thereby impoverishing the
other organs and rendering them unable to
perform their normal functions and an easy
prey to disease.
To sum il up. the best safeguards of the
health of children are suitable regimen.
cleanliness, fresh air. pure water. and a
due allowance OF refreshing sleep. To the
child thus armed disease Is not a frequent
visitor. That prevention Is better than cure
in any case goes without saying. The old
idea that Ills must come has been evolved
into the doctrine that sufficient knowledge
and care will prevent almost any evil. and
this is no less true Of disease than of other
things.
The Difference
Between children who always have a
nurse or a maid to look after and dress
them and those who do the most of it for
themselves Is quite marked. 1t tends greatly
to develop children to make them do all that
is possible for themselves. II develops them

Courteousness-

And consideration are the beginning of
good manners; one should do nothing that
may offend. Inconvenience, or disappoint
others. If friend or acquaintance has
taken the trouble to inform one that the
pleasure of her company is desired at an
entertainment, the least one can do Is to
acknowledge the courtesy promptly. No
one can afford to economic in politeness.
To make the mistake of waiting until the
last moment to send an answer to an In
vitation argues that one is neglectful. or
lacking in courtesy. or ignorant of the laws
of good form. The person who sends an
invitation Is supposed to be offering pleas
ure to guests. Shall they seem lacking in
appreciation of the compliment? A good
rule to follow is to put the question to ones
self: How should feel If friend neglect
ed to reply to my invitation? Would I not
have reason to feel offended or grieyed?"
If one receives an invitation to a home
wedding or a wedding reception, dinner,
luncheon, card party. theater party, or
dance, it is polite to reply without delay.
Hospitality
Is not in giving elaborate feasts or display
ing fine furnishings, costly gowns, and jew
els but is the ''sweet and noble practice
of receiving and entertaining guests in
genuine 'liberality," and this liberalty not
merely in material things but in the heart
felt and inspiring kindness which gives to
hospitality its true meaning and value
Social bargaining is not hospitality. Under
this head 1 would include the false spirit
which aims at inviting friends and ac-
quaintances in order to receive gifts on an
niversaries at weddings. 1t is necessary
to remember that genuine hospitality is to
entertain gratuitously without reward" "

We should provide our best, but our best
may be simple. We should not be SO fool
ish as to strain at initiating those whose
means are far beyond our own, but We
should not hesitate to bring our friends to-
gether because we cannot give expensive
entertainments.
Teas

which case the rooms are decked with flow

the gifts of friends. There sometimes Is
