New York-Visual power by which

ordinary book at a glance and repeat

to normal visual conditions, but to
disease of the eyes, is DR.. Gould's con-
tention.
The man with the remarkable eyes
is designated as "Mr. c." This man
can read several books each evening,
and usually he can repeat all he has
read without error. He is fond OF
poetry and novels, and quick glance
at the pages suffices to fix its contents
indelibly in his memory.
The case was easily explained by
those who have knowledge Of the ply

The Risks an American Takes Who Marries Foreigner

But the American man has de-

The American woman represents
American mans taste in wives.
That's why she suits him, and
that's why she is caviar to the pal

and why she disagrees so with for
eigners if they marry her
Foreigners always say that the
American woman is spoiled Very
likely. But she is as she is, even
as the IoIelSH iilal - aS tiS - 01iA
that is why there is small chance
of harmony when two such diverse

Wise Man Will Pick Wife
From His Own Nation.

Nor would the situation be any
better for the man. for he. whose
ideal of a wife is Patient Griselda,
must get a horrible shock when he
finds out that he is tied up with
spunky American Mary Ann. and
that instead of fading meekly into
the background Of domesticitv she
insists on standing in the limelight
of society. and that her penchant
is not for the kitchen. but for the
parlor, and her talent not for saw
ing, but for spending money?
For these and many other rea-
sons. a man is wise to marry among
his own people. There are enough
troubles and trials in matrimony,
anyway, without dragging in inter-
national complications.

Bv DOROTHY DIX

With scarcely an exception. these
have turned out dtsastrously, but
as in these cases the man sold
himself for money and the woman
sold herself for social position,
they prove nothing in regard to the
wisdom or folly of Americans mar
rying foreigners. Any marriage
entered into with the same mo-
tives would bring nothing but mis-
cry.
lndisputably there are many
happy and successful marriages,
inspired by love alone, in which
one of the parties is an American
and the other a foreigner, the mar
rage of Americans and English and
Americans and Germans being par
ttcularly apt to be harmonious.
and to produce splendid children.
The marriage Of an American
man with a foreign woman stands
a better chance of success than
that of an American woman with a
foreign man, and yet, par doxically
enough this marriage takes place
far less frequently than that of the
American woman to the foreign
man 1t IS undeniable that as a
rule. the foreign woman does not
attract the American man. while
the foreign man has an almost ir-
resistible attraction for the Ameri-
can woman.
The explanation OF this psychic
phenomenon shows why the inter
national match is seldom a happy
one The men of every nation,
through many generations have
trained their women to be the kind
of wives that they want. the kind
of wives that suit their tastes.
The Englishman has evolved the
splendid. sturdy pattern of an the
virtues-the British matron. who
has been taught to take back
seat and amuse herself by bearing
children and burning incense be-
fore her lord and master
The German has trained up the
hausfrau whose sole business in
life is to vibrate between the ktch-
en- and the nursery. and make her
husband comfortable.
The Frenchman has produced a
wife who is the hybrid Of feminin-
ity. a woman who can save money
and look like fashion plate. who
can grant him all liberty and ask
none for herself. and who can keep
up the fiction OF a perfect family
life so artsucally that she comes
TO believe in it herself.

There is no general rule by which
the likelihood Of the success or

personal matter and whether a

Conceding that all marriage Is a
lottery. and full Of risks and dan

an added risk and run a greater
danger, and that there are more
chances against them in the lot

an American he or she has. at

How to Be Certain of
Curing Constipation

Prejudice Is a hard thing to overcome,
but where health is at stake, and the
opinion of thousands of reliable people
differs from yours, prejudice then be-

lay 1t aside. This is said in the inter-
est OF people suffering from chronic
constipation, and 1t is worthy of their
attention.
In the opinion OF legions of reliable
American people the most stubborn
constipation imaginable can be cured
by brief use of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. You may not have heard of It
before, but do not doubt it's merits on
that account, or because 1t has not been
blatantly advertised. 1t has sold very
