Bile, If he has an unkindly nature
The great trouble with our American
marriage question today is that nine
tenths of the girls marry for wealth
and position. Their parents urge them
to seek riches rather than love and it
usually fails"
Let Children Do Own Counting.
Mrs. Henry Clay Carpenter, whose
daughter, Miss Beatrice Carpenter,
was one of the seasons debutantes,
has decided ideas on courtship and
marriage. Don't do your children's
courting," says Mrs. Carpenter RE
member you did you own, and my,
but didn't you enjoy it? Then let your
children do the same. When you
argue that children should profit by
the parents example, you cast a re-
Election on your child's father which
always is bad policy whether he is
deserving of it or not.
Never let your children feel that
you are anxious to have them marry.
This attitude on the part of parents
often causes daughter needlessly to
hasten her matrimonial plans. She
can be made to feel that father has

been putting up for such a long time,
that he has paid out such sums for her
education, and has fitted her for mar
rage at suitable age. Then when
she arrives at that age, and does not
leave the home roof or show any in
clination to do so, parents should be
exceedingly careful not to give the
impression that they wish her mar
riage.
The moment a girl feels that her
parents desire her marriage, she be-
comes reckless and may foolishly ac-
cept the first opportunity that pre-
sents itself, Notwithstanding she has
refused numerous and better offers
prior to the discovery that father and
mother think it is time daughter had
a home of her own Marriage of sons
and daughters is something in which
parents have no rights or privileges
However, should daughter give her
heart to a young man of whom the
family knows little, it becomes the
duty of the father to make a thor
ough investigation. Then if he finds
him to be of immoral character, he
should confide his discovery to his
daughter.
Arranging Marriage Never Duty
an atmosphere of love, obedience and
respect for her parents will prove
herself the dutiful daughter and will
give up the undesirable young man.
She will listen to her parents in re-
gard to her marriage as she has list
ened to them during all her life in re-
gard to her minor affairs. While 1t is
the duty of parents to prevent the
marriage of their children in such ex-
treme cases, it is never their duty or
privilege to arrange marriages for
them The mother who has her
daughters confidence will never need
to find a husband for her. That kind
of a girl is sought for by the right
kind of man and need not look for a
husband"
Mrs Frank r. McMullin of High
land Park expressed the opinion that
where the question of money enters
in, all the sanctity of matrimony is
lost Parents who desire moneyed
matches for their children should
force themselves to do nothing more
than hope" she said They should
never barter their sons and daughters.
This idea of selling your child into a
family of wealth in order to gain for
her position in society and riches to
keep up a splendid establishment with
no thought or care for her affections
is all wrong. If parents find their
daughters ready to sell themselves to
the titled foreigner simply for the po-
sition they will acquire, it is the duty
of the parents to stop the affair at
once On no account should a girl
marry for anything but love.
Parents cannot live their children's
lives A mother would De willing to

PUT ASIDE RICHES
Patents Worth Millions Dedicated
to the People.
Hog Cholera, Anti-Toxin and Disap-
pearing Gun Among Them-NoW
Miracle in Cement Is Assigned
to Public Good.

Washington.-If you had discovered
and patented a cholera anti-toxin that
could stop an annual loss of $50 1000, 900
worth of hogs in the United States,
would you give the invention away to
the general public?
Or, if you had found that oil and ee-
ment will mix to form a new style of
concrete which may completely revo-
lutionize the building industry, would
you patent the process for your own
pocketbook or for the free use of the
people?
These questions are hypothetical to
the ordinary citizen, but they have
been real to two men. He who discov
cred the hog cholera serum might have
been rich now, and with a stupendous
fortune in sight. He who is about to
obtain a patent on a new building ma
terial modestly admits that there prob
ably would be millions in it, and a
patent right but that he has no desire
to take profit from his discovery.
Both of these inventors, DIR. Marion
Dorset and Logan Waller Page, are
employees under the agricultural de-
partment of the government. They are
by no means the only ones however,
who have within the last three or four
years dedicated to the public inven-
lions of great value. A certain obli-
cation rests upon the man who uses
public property, and whose time is
paid for by the government, to turn
over his inventions to the government;
but many private citizens have deed
ed to the public inventions from
which they might lave made large
incomes.
John Jacob Astor is one who has
disclaimed any desire for royalties
on several of his inventions and
thrown them open to general use

SCALP WAS BADLY Affected

Il am more than gratified by the
successful results I obtained by the
uss of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruh and scales.
My scalp itched terribly at times and
my haiy fell out. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandru6
that had fallen from my head My
profession being that of q barber, !
was particular about having my hair
In good condition, and was also in a
position to try many lotions, ETC., for
the scalp. These had little or no ef-
feet. I had heard so much about the
Cuticura Remedies that I resolved to
try them. shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly, I
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. I was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment rid my head of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
I have now got thick growth of hair
and I am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching of the scalp. There
is no question but that the Cuticura
recommend them to my customers,
and they think great deal Of them"
