My! but I am glad 1t Is not
fashionable to be in poor health
any more
Why not begin this week of
thanksgiving to take stock of your
health blessings? Be glad that
your digestion is in such good
shape that you can digest the
turkey, which, by the way, is one
of the most indigestible things
brought to the table. Be glad
that you have your nerves under
control; that your complexion Is
fresh and ruddy; that your head
never aches. If you find you
cannot be thankful for all of
these, turn your attention to put
ting the sick organs on a health
basis Immediately.
You cannot work or plan;
neither can you look we'll without
good health and whether you have
it or not usually depends upon
yourself.
JUST ONE LAST WORD
BE thankful for life and fill
1T with love while you WORK
for a strong, healthy body
and q beautiful mind.

BLAME CONDITIONS; NOT
THE WOMEN

Dear Miss Grey: I wish
to reply to one of the bache-
Tors, who gave as reason for
not marrying that he could
not find a woman who was
willing to have children.
Now 1 wonder IL he has
studied the question as to
the why's and wherefores. L
have talked with many
women on the question of
race suicide, and they nearly
all have the same answer:
They cannot support the
children and there Is no flu
ture for them other than
hardship and privation. 1
am speaking of the Iaboring
class, and the small salary
man, from S65 to 500 per
month, allowing for possible
lay-offs and losing his job and
time consumed in hunting
another. Where is the money
coming from for the home
and the babies?
If you will take time to
think of the orphan asylums
full of little children, of the
divorce courts where fully
two-thirds of the divorces
applied for are on the grounds
of non-support; lack of
means to maintain a home, so
the family is broken up, you
will understand the time is
past when a man can get u
little piece of land and raise
a good living and rear his
children in comfort as his
father and grandfather did.
Land costs money; all you
have is Il job, if you are for
tunate enough to hold it. So
we women have To crush our
natural inclinations and join
in the struggle to just live.
l will admit that there are
women whose social duties
and pleasures interfere with
motherhood; but they are
not fit to be mothers anyhow.
The greater number, however,
would rejoice in motherhood,
if they dared. So, Mr.. Bache-
IOr, blame conditions, not the
woman. PESSINIIST.

Be good to your self and be
thankful for your blessings in the
shape of health and good looks.
l have a theory that no n can
be very unhappy who is in per-
feet health. When the black but
terflies begin to flutter around
my head and life begins to look
as though it were not worth liv-
ing | first take stock of my nerves
and if they seem in good condi-
ton I go after my liver. There is
nothing in this world that will
give n such a sad outlook on
life as an inactive liver.
1t is astonishing to what a de-
gree a physical disorder a affect
the mind. A friend who is given
to analyzing her own emotions
told me of the surprise she felt

Doris Corinne Abbott, Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Der 6, 1909.
Just a glance at the picture of this lovely child
could you guess her future?
The stars declare she must become a big-hearted
woman, loving and kind, and probably a worker
among the poor.
She will be endowed with a keen sense of Justice
and will temper all things with mercy. She will be
calm and ~dignified with an undercurrent Of high
strung desire for liberty and freedom. Her choice
of things will turn her from the frivolous and even
from the fine arts into the channel of home life.
She will command courtesy and respect and at
times flattery and demand of her loved ones a deep
feeling OF infinite affection. Her forte will be found
in a home and her tendencies and her nature will
make it a place of hallowed love.

A.-The only way to stop any

to stay stopped is never to begin
it again. Fine yourself every

hand the money to someone to
hold, only to be regained by you
after you have performed some
work that is particularly distaste-
full to you. Be your own task
master, and make the fine heavy.

In the first place, remember to eat slowly
and to chew your food thoroughly. That is half the
battle. The other half consists in holding down
on the consumption of indigestibles.
Begin slowly. A meal we'll begn is half won.
Eat the soup, don't gulp it. Chew well the bread
or crackers you take with it, and the vegetables
and meat, if it be a vegetable or turtle soup.
Browse around a little on celery or some 9TH
er relish.
When you come to the piece de resistance

gingerly. Chew diligently, eat plenty of bread
and whatever you do, DON'T eat any of the

MOTORING

Dear Miss Grey: Do you
think there is any harm i'm a
girl going motorcycling with
a boy friend? 1 have often
times heard people say
when they saw a girl on a
motor, ''Isn't that horrid!"
or some such thing like that.
1 have even heard people go
so far as to say, "That girl
is tough, or she wouldn't go
on a motor" Now as l am q
motor-rider myself, l don't
think it right for people to
run down a girl for that. Am
I right. or not?

now after three years of
mourning for my lost lover 1
am engaged to a man two
wears younger than L. L
don't love him as 1 did my
first lover, but think as much
of him as L ever can of any
man. He seems to love me
better than anyone else, and
says he will never try to do
anything for himself IL L
don't marry him. 1 have told
him of my first love, and he
says he doesn't care about
that, if 1 will only love him
and help him make a home.
He says he will never love
any other girl, but, Miss
Grey, don't you think he will
grow tired OF me, as L am
older than he?
He has never gone with
any other girl, SO don't
know whether he would like
others better than me. L
have given him chances, but
he won't go. Please tell me
what to do. Miss Grey, for L
really don't know what
would be best.
