man and nerve-racking to the woman,
The true woman, in business or in
the home, in politics or in the church,
does not really want to run things.
She wants a man to help her run
them. The aggressive woman Is the
exception, not the rule. She is abnor-
NAL, not normal. And almost always
she is secretly unhappy. The true
woman demands interdependence
She knows that she needs male com
partnership, spiritual male support, as
much in success as in failure.
Maroon a hundred modern men on
an island and they will soon be cut
ting each others throats. Maroon the
same number of women and they will
soon be cutting their own. Maroon
the two hundred together and what
happens? After running up flag of

tablishing church, marrying, build

Man deprived of the companionship

hearts they know it.

PARTNERSHIP in GOVERNMEl
AS WELL AS IN THE HOME

Together, men and women have
made a mighty success of the home
where equality exists, and a near
success of the school and the church
where equality is less perfect, but
still extant. Why not in government?
Lawmakers, political officials high
and low, hire women to assist them
in the work of the government as
stenographers, as clerks, yes, as con.
fidential secretaries-I almost said
advisers They turn over to these
women all the intricacies of their Of
flee routine. But they will not en-
trust them with the ballot. They
mare the women eustodians of Office
secrets. But they are not brave
enough to admit openly the office
equality which exists in secret They
are not strong enough to acknowl-
edge the existence of sex dependence,
the great motive power of society,
says q writer in the Pictorial Re-
view. -
We are passing through a curious
evolution in economic relations be-
tween men and women. Through the
invention of machinery, man drove
woman out of the home into the in
dustrial world When he discovered
how efficient she was, he became
afraid of her. He said to himself;
Look at this creature to whom /
gave the chance to become self-sup-
porting. Her independence is going
to her head. She thinks she is as
smart as I am, with q machine. with
figures. with business routine. She Is
becoming aggressive. IL I don't curb
her, she will be running my business

sex panic. 1t is lisconcerting to the

Health Proverbs

Here are some health proverbs
which should be learned by every
body:
An open window is better than an
open grave.
Warm rooms have killed more peo-
pie than ever froze to death.
If you let the child have measles
when he Is young you may save q
doctors bill later on, but you may
have to pay the undertaken now.
Have an expert to examine the
drains. 1t will cost less than case
OF typhoid.
IL your milkman brings you warm
milk make it hot for him. )
Wire screens in the windows may
keep crepe from the door.
A fly in the milk often means a
member of the family in the grave.
| IL some people were as much afraid
of flies as they are of bad water there
would be less typhoid.
When you see a child looking like
an angel do not kiss it. You might
make a real angel out of it.-Atlante
Georgian.

Don'ts for the Hostess

Don't make plans for every mo-
ment of your guests visit, and insist
on rushing her about from place to
place. 1t is just possible that she may
have come to see you, and that she
will enjoy little quiet talk with you
more than all the sights and enter
tainrnents in the world.
Don't apologize for any difference
there may be between your way of
living and that practised In your
visitors own home. 1t Is very bad
form.
Don't forget to tell her the train by
which you wish her to arrive. and tho
best way of reaching your house from
the station. Remember that she does
not know the neighborhood as well as
you do, so make your directions very
clear, in order to save her as much
trouble as possible.
Don't ask her to stay FOR few
days." OF she will not be able tomake
any arrangements for the time fol-
lowing her visit. Say, 1T hope yorl
will come from Friday to Tuesday"
and then she will be able TO accept
another invitation for the following
Wednesday. If she wishes to do SO.

A widespread impression which is

Who are the victims of 1t, are bound

They continue to expect and de-

The children's birthday party habit
not only affects the moral nature of
children in various ways, and sows
dangerous seeds for the future in
child character and habits. but it also
threatens their happiness through the
danger to health which such parties

The Best Fowl for the Table

The best table fowls is one that has
the heaviest weight of meat on those
parts of the body which are favorite
cuts.
The breast and thighs must be
heavy in a good table fowl in pro-
portion to the remainder of the body.
In order to have the thick breast
meat and big thighs these muscles
must be used by the fowls, says Home
and Farm.
In other words, the flyer and
seratcher will prove to be the best
table fowl, for their lively habits give
the muscles of the legs. and breast
