Before l began taking DR..

suffering from heart trouble for
over FIVE years. l had pains in

Farnum was president " the Con-
sumers' Beer Bottling Company of
Charleston, and the representative
in this State of the Anhueser-Busch
Company, and u string of liquor
companies.
The State proved that Joseph B

A Word to the Wise
Woman Is Sufficient

breakdown means? How many of the
coveted pleasures or longed-for rests
could have been had for the doctors
hire?
Occasional flights from the grind are
better than skilled specialists to keep
one we'll, which is the sensible modern
woman's reading of that ounce OF
prevention"
Wise women, whose occupations are
domestic, try to steal half hour every
afternoon for a nap. Though they only
close their eyes and Danish thought,
they are resting, and always rise re-
freshed. Some women train themselves
to take forty winks" while sitting in
a comfortable chair waiting for the
kettle to boil. One woman makes 1T a
point to lie down for ten minutes be-
tween tasks when she finds herself
growing tired. These things constitute
the "finesse' of health. They are
trifes, but they count immensely in the
long run. A working woman needs
eight hours sleep, social engagements
Notwithstanding. The conditions sur
rounding the average woman in bust
ness are trying enough without the
additional strain of social pursuits.
Pleasure and recreation she must have,
but let her remember that when recre-
alton encroaches on health it over
shoots the mark.
One woman dispenses with domestic
assistance to spend money on pretty
clothes, wonders why she has to go to
bed each afternoon, and her husband
wonders why she is short tempered
and impatient in the evening. Comfort
means having a we'll balanced life,
with work and recreation and leisure
sandwiched in so that nothing is pro-
longed to the point of WEAKNESS. There
is no comfort in being so hurried over
piece of work as to be annoyed at a
chance visitor. 1t is hardly pleasant
to be obliged to refuse choice bit of
amusement because one has not fin
ished a gown and has nothing else to
wear. A seamstress at frequent inter-
walls would keep a wardrobe in wear
able condition. Life Is not long enough
for all the duties we sometimes map
out for ourselves. and it is not so gay
that we can afford to throw away the
smallest chance of hanninaes

SCIENCE-MADE MARRIAGES
ARE BEST, SAY EXPERTS

The statement recently made in Chi
cago by the distinguished Psychologist,
James H. Breasted, that the marriage
made in $500 B. c.. being scientifically
prearranged, resulted in true domestic
happiness, recalls the statement made
by Gutenberg, the German scientist,
that the human race began to decay
and disease to manifest itself only When
communities began to permit ill-as-
sorted couples to marry. Science, says
the German, has attempted to guide
and control every condition of life save
the most important, namely, that which
provides for the continuity of the race
of men.
Men of the intellectual attachments of
Stahl, Powell, Westermarck, have long
since pointed out the faulty of allow
ing romance to be the pivotal point
upon which the institution of marriage
should rest. That societies have al
lowed this to be so for the past 250O
years has been the cause of the advent
of the affinity" or the idea of affini-
ties, bringing in their train whole
series of unhealthy bodies and unwhole-
some minds, society, both political and
economic, necessarily suffering there
from.

sroR,Es OF HUMBLE LIVES

When the childrens bureau first
opened a newspaper reporter wrote up
a glowing account of the work to be
effected. He described the bureau as a
clearing house. for children" referring
to the fact that we received dependent
children and placed them in family
homes. The city editor seized upon the
phrase clearing house for children"
and headed the article with it. The
following morning when l arrived at
the bureau at o'clock l found two
little negro boys and an aged negress
sitting on the stoop.
''Why-why, what is the matter with
them?" 1 asked.
"Aint nawthin' de mattah. All wants
'em clared-clared clean out of NAH
sight. Use jes done tired havin' 'em

but you can't leave them here" 1
protested. 1--WE don't want them"

said in de papah you took 'em and
clared 'em Use walked close on five
mile to leave them chillen and Use

And down she sat. 1t was nearly
noon before the combined efforts of all
the workers succeeded in convincing her
that since the children were hers, and
not in want, it was impossible to take
them away.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

The following written by woman,
and bearing as it does upon both moth
erhood and citizenship, should find a
permanent place in the heart, the mind
and the actions of every woman in the
land:
When Will, we women become
citizens?
When we wipe out conditions that kill
babies. ~
When we make it impossible for any
mother to be ignorant of infant hygiene.
When we make 1t impossible for fac
tory, store or home work to unfit a
woman to save her baby.
When we get milk that is safe for
babies.
When we get clean air and use it,
When we eat.
When we can answer Why do babies
die and why are mothers ignorant?
The vote alone cannot give us these
things, but doing these things will give
us the right to vote.-The Delineator.

WHAT SHALL WE PLAY?

Here is game that calls for thought
and a certain knowledge of the eternal
fitness of things"
A hostess should have the questions
written on card and numbered; each
man guest must write the answer after
the question, and the one guessing the
greatest number correctly has prize.
While the men are trying their wits
they may be helped by the women. but
only ten minutes are allowed for one
woman to assist any one man.
The idea Is that a man may discover
in this way the given name of his
future wife, and here are the questions
The astronomers wife.
The fisherman's wife.
The marksman's wife.
The pianists wife.
The porter's wife.
The gamblers wife.
The gardeners wife.
The doctors wife.
The clergyman's wife.
The shoemaker's wife.
The judges wife.
The gasman's wife.
The upholsterer's wife.
The list might be prolonged through
nearly all the occupations by a clever
wit.
AS a guide the hostess announces the
answer to No. to be stella"
Then in regular order l give the an
swers, but the questions can be written
as preferred:
Stella, Nettie, AMY. OctAvia, Carrie,
Bette. Flora, Patience, Marie, Peggy,
Justine, Meta, Sophie.
A contest for trimming small dolls

cents each, makes good entertainment
for a gathering of women. All sorts of
odds and ends of trimming, chicken
feathers, ribbons, artificial flowers and
so forth, may be at hand and wonder
full millinery displays will be forthcom-
ing, says the Housekeeper.
A prize of box of French flowers for
really truly" trimming hat would
make a pretty and unusual prize, to be
given the guest whose hat is voted to
be the most artistic.
The trimmed hats may be given to a
home or hospital for children where
they will give great pleasure.
Dollies cut from stiff white paper in
egg shape make pretty feature for
luncheon. A larger egg may form
the centerpiece and egg candy boxes
may stand at the places, while in the
middle of the table on the center mat
may be a long loaf cake iced white with
an over icing of red tracing to represent
a brick wall. On top can stand a doll
made of a stick and crepe paper clothes
and having for a head an egg with
face painted ON both sides. This will
be readily recognized as "Humpty
Dumpty" and will be greeted with de-
light.

NEW voRNs BUSINESS WOMEN

NEW Works. BUSINESS WOMEN
Any one from London visiting New

this vicinity there are almost as many
women as men at the noon hour and
during the hour for opening and clos

In many ways New York is the ideal
city for the business girl. She goes
to and from her work without attract
ing the slightest attention, for every
body is used to seeing her Hitting

higher her salary the more. simply Will
she be dressed, though If you observe
the quality of the cloth in her frock
and the cut of it you will find that In
these particulars there are indications
of the good money" she draws every
week or every month. Occasionally
she is able to leave her work of an
afternoon for matinee, and on the
morning of such a day you will find
her carrying downtown little bag
containing a dressy blouse, hair Or
nament and pair of light gloves.
To me the business girls OF New
