'It is far better to be an old maid
than to marry man who is not ones
equal. Mrs. Stpyvesant Fish.
Mrs. Fish's whole contention that it
is better to be an old maid than to mar
Fy man not ope's equal hinges largely
on that difficult problem of measuring
equality.
Should dollar be matched against dol
lar. educational advantages against edu-
cational advantages, social standing
against, social standing?
1t would seem so, for when these
things tally everybody smiles and ex.
claims: "What perfect match!'
But that is just the cause of the
myriad divorce court scandals that
made for the elevation of the old maid s
status. Men and women are matched,
not mated.
After all. there are but two essentials
that the man and woman who marry
should have in common-like taste and
like high purpose to make the world a
little better, little brighter for their
union.
For what is so splendid as the strength
of a man courageously put forth to do
and dare in the big world of endeavor
for his little brood? And what is sc
| fine as the steadfastness of woman
that keeps her by his side smoothing
and beautifying the way?
Young woman, consider the man
not the cut of his eoat-tail!
Have you Latin where he has me
chanical ingenuity or organizing ability
Very good. 1t is you who will teacl
your children while he provides fo
them.
Hasn't he access to all of the home

worthy one.
| Differences of education and socia
standing are triiiing. Have you tn
same high ideals? That is the question
And if you make mistake, if sorrow
instead of happiness is the result
even then it's better to have Marie,
and made the mistake than not to hav
married at all.

DON'T LOAF.

When the Almighty created man, He
put him in the Garden, Ito keep and
tend it." When His Son came on earth,
he learned trade, and worked at it..
Every good character since has had
some employment and has worked. No
one ever succeeded who presumed on
dads prominence and position. No oman
has ever amounted to his admission fee
IN the world, who has no regular work.
Too many young people pretend to look
down on the laborer, led on in their
pretensions by the foolish pretensions
of their elders, who ignore the presence
of worthier people, because they follow
a trade in which they do manual labor.
We can fancy such one, good Chris
tian perhaps. snubbing Christ, because
He was carpenter, or ignoring Him
because he walked instead of rode in a
carriage or owned an auto.
Habits are stubborn things, hard to-
break, easy to form. One can form
good habits as easily and as readily as
bad ones. Happy is the person who
forms good ones early in life, and the
very first habit is the habit of keeping
busy doing something, something i'm
portant, something necessary and do
ing it well.
Don't loaf. If you cannot strike the
job you prefer. do something else. If
you find no profitable work, or you are
taking vacation, don't loaf, don't pa
rade the streets, don't stand on the cor
ner, or sit about public places. Other
people have something to do. il you
have not. Their tiue is worth some
thing if yours is not.
1t is not only the boys that loaf, but
there are girls as well. The girl that
does nothing but dress and parade, or
stand about the streets, loafs just the
same as the man or boy. II you have
social duties attend to them. they are
important. If they take all your time
and you attend to them well, you are
doing legitimate work, but have some
work. and do it. Don't loaf. Don't
be loafer.-Sussex Standard.

NEW DISEASE TERRIFIES.
Even Griddle Cakes and Roast =
ing Ears Jump Into UnpOpu-
lar Favor Because of Some
scientific Discoveries.
iTimes-DispatchD

tTimes-D -Dispstch.D
Your old friend, the corn pone. is
coming in for its season of unpopularity.
Even the fine corncakes, stacked up
like poker chips, and the tempting roast
ing ears are looked upon with some feel
ing of apprehension, just because the
scientific men have discovered that
pellagra, that new disease, springs from
bad ears and grains which go through
the mill. In a little while the experts
figure that corn whiskey may cause
pellagra, although those who advocate
the latter product contend that the
disease germs are killed by the
system of distilling and the high per-
centage of alcohol. Be this as it may,
cornbread and corn products from the
cookshops are not in high favor these
days. and hungry men, who read as they
run, turn them aside with a longing
look of fear.
Experts who have studied the scien-
tific discovery are doubtful about the
proper food for horses. Oats have their
purpose well enough, but the horse
needs corn. He cannot be fed on pat e
de fois gras nor upon lettuce with axle
grease dressing called mayonnaise. Fod-
der takes the place of the equine's let
tuce. snd green grass ia good enough,
but not suitable for everyday food.
Cornbread has been the staple food of
the world for many centuries, and the
little boy who was fed upon it, who
thought starvation preferable, but who
goes back gladly to the plate in after
years, loves it with his planked shad,
with his buttermilk. his stringless beans
and his crisp fried bacon. He is afraid
now because of the wild stories printed
about pellagra.
Even if it is true that the new affiic-
tion comes from an inferior quality of
corn," said a physician last night.
there is no reason why we should re-
fuse to eat the old pone or the delight
ful cakes. If we figure it down to a
gnat's heel, the average man would eat
nothing; there is germ of some kind
in everything. but corn, when properly
ground into meal, and properly pro-
tected against dampness, which brings
on the mould, is the best food on earth. Z"

SUCCESS.

There's word of cheer for the mar
with pluck,
Who never gives way to an adverse
luck;
Who never confesses that he is stuck,
But keeps on moiling
With vigor, and toiling,
No matter what comes and no matter
what goes.
He laughs at the man with burden of
woes.
And finally harvests the crop that he
sows.
His .:stick-to-it" spirit eventually grows
On those whom he meets
In the marts and the streets,
And the byways and highways of life;
and he greets
With strong word of courage the
man who retreats
At the first sign of failure, and shows
him the way
To work with the sun if he wants to
make hay.
He lives on the song side
OF life, on the strong side,
And knows not the wrong side.
But clutches the right;
Tenaciously clings till he comes out
victorious,
Earning his spurs in manner most
glorious;
Comes back for more in each unequal
fight;
Finally winning the goal he is after,
Spreading his doctrine of grit and
laughter.

COST OF LIVING JUMPING HIGHER.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.J

| tRichmond Tmes-D -Dspatch.b
The woe-be-gone face of Mr.. Bill
Settler grows longer as, day by day, he
scans the list of good things to eat.
He finds that September has never
before seen so high price for eggs,
hams, bacon, lard and cheese. He is
beginning to believe that by Christmas,
if he asks for bread, he will be given a
stone.
Eggs have jumped up into the luxury
list, because of the demand for chickens,
especially hens, and the man who can
boast of soft-boiled egg for breakfast
will soon be written up in Who's Who.
Hams, bacon, lard and other products
porcine command fancy prices, because
of the short corn crop last year, and
the people with average purses are
giving such food up, and substituting
the more frugal and less costly things
for the table.
Cheese" said prominent grocer
last night, "has in a short time gone up
33 per cent. No explanation has been
hitherto offered, but it is my opinion
that the high price of ham, bacon, ETC.,
caused many people to use cheese as
ready substitute at lower figure, and
so many people used cheese as a substi-
tute that the demand for it has raised
the price to a point unheard of before.
Formerly 80 per cent. of the cheese
made in America was exported; now
not over 5 per cent. is sent out for the
foreign trade, thus showing that the
internal consumption Of cheese in this
country has tremendously increased.
''Some inventive genius has discov-
cred that whiskey may be made from
table legs and sawdust, and we may
now hope that another Edison of edibles
will come forward and make cheese out
of acorns, and hams and lard out of
old-field pine. If man can get the
ingredients of a jag from the woodward.
surely we ought TO be able to rake up a
square meal somewhere without having
to Craze in the pasture with the cattle. 4"

WHAT BECAME OF THE HORSE,

When the Spaniards landed in Mexico
the horse was strange and unknown
animal to the Aztecs, and they were
frightened by his appearance. imagining
that the man and horse were one ami
NAL. But recent researches in that
very country prove conclusively that
remains Of horses are found all over
North and South America, from Alaska
to Patagonia. And still further back
in geological history multitudes of very
small horses existed in the Rocky
mountains. horses SO small that they
were no larger than the average fox.
and they had instead of one hoof, a
foot split into three parts-one more
piece than the OK and hog.

OYSTER SITUATION SATISFACTORY.
Health Department Finds All Bi-
valves Now Supplied For Market
Are Healthy.

Are Healthy.
The oyster situation in Virginia is
eminently satisfactory from the sani-
tary standpoint, according to an official
statement given out today by the State
Health Department. Experts in the
service of the department have recently
examined the oyster beds along the
Chesapeake and have issued health
certificates to scores Of tongers and
planters.
This investigation is the outcome of the
agitation Of last winter, when reports
were circulated to the effect that un-
healthy oysters were being supplied to
northern markets by Virginia dealers.
These reports did great damage to the
oyster industry, and threatened, for a
time. to bankrupt number of large
packers.
At the request of the oystermen, the
State Health Department last winter
made an investigation of the situation
and found that conditions had been
greatly exaggerated in the northern
press. A few planting beds We're found
in an unsanitary condition, but the
majority were above suspicion.
The investigation just concluded was
intended by the health authorities to
inspect the plants that were condemned
last year. Health officers found that all
the dangerous oyster grounds had been
abandoned and that uniform improve
ments have been made.
The decision of the health authorities
was received with approval by those
interested in the oyster industry here,
and has already led to general rejoicing
in the oyster section of the State.

IMPURE ICE.

The Medical Brief states that while
it's true that the mere freezing of
water does not destroy the bacteria with
which the water may be infected, still
it is not less true that such ice becomes
by degrees quite pure, so that ice four or
FIVE weeks old becomes as sterile and
safe as ice made from filtered water.
Old ice is pure ice, new ice is as pure
as the water from which it is made.
and no purer. This knowledge should
relieve many who are in doubt as to
the purity of ice gathered in winter
and stored for summer use,

THE "R" FOR OYSTERS.
Butler's Old Warning Still Has
Weight With EpIeares.

HE was bold man that first eat an
oyster" declared Dean Swift, and un-
doubtedly he was, for even in the
light of our greater knowledge we must
realize that the oyster must be known
to be appreciated. This reflection recurs
on this last day of August, which marks
the end Of the closed season, tradition
ally speaking, for this-to US inland
people-far-fetched delicacy. Even as
far back as 1899, Butler, in "Dyet's
Dry Dinner" insisted that eft is
unreasonable and unwholesome in all
months that have not an r in their
name to eat an oyster" We do not,
OF course, in these days of effective
refrigeration and quick transportation
assume such an uncompromising posi-
tion, and il occasion demands, and de-
mands strongly enough, the oyster can
be made available at almost any time
during the four months that are not
blessed with the talismanic r. Never
theless, the oyster is not nearly so
toothsome when we are always wishing
that the weather man would predict
cooler" as it is when we are. with a
vanishing coal supply. hoping against
hope that his forecast will read 'war-
mer." Likewise we feel little more
confidence as result of the presence
Of the r, and eat more heartily and with
greater gusto. So we shall welcome
hazy September for this reinsurance it
brings and leave our measure for a
quart or so with the pleasant feeling
that we are violating no tradition and
are taking fewer chances than we
