MARRIAGE A HABIT TO WOMEN
Writer Asserts They Want Husbands
to Escape Being Called
sold Malds.v

Women have the marrying habit I;
men do not. This is not strange, for
generations Of girls have been taught
that every woman should be married,
and that to remain unwed is a dis
grace Being a married woman"
has been a sort Of boast Of superior
ity on the part Of wives. Naturally,
because their mothers and almost ev-
cry other person of their own sex put
a great deal Of emphasis on the de-
STABILITY Of being married, and none
at all on the desirability, which
sometimes exists, of remaining UNI
married, girls looked on marriage as
the goal of ambition, and bent their
whole energies to getting husbands.
Rather than endure the stigma of
being "old maids" they took the first
man who gave them a chance. Their
object was not love, not husband,
but simply to acquire the status,
privileges and Difference which they
had been taught were denied to all
of their sex except the married
woman"
The same mothers who fairly drive
their daughters to marry are singu-
larly reluctant to see their sons wed.
The mother who is employing all the
arts and craft of the chase to entrap
some other woman's son for her
daughters husband will weep at the
announcement that the other wom-
ms daughter has shackled her son.

LEADING ACTOR NOT THERE
Stories Of Absent-Minded Folk Arc
Many, and This Is One Of
the Best of Them.

There have been a great many sto-
ries about absent-minded men and
they are always enjoyable. This con-
Germs man named Rogers, who
lived in a small town and owned a
Jersey COW, which he used to drive
morning and evening to and from
the pasture, not far from his home.
One morning, as a neighbor was
passing along the road, he met Mr..
Rogers walking in the middle of thu
lane, his mind apparently engrossed
in some weighty questions. The
neighbor called out "Good morning.
Mr.. Rogers. Where are you going? %
"Why," answered Mr.. Rogers, in a
surprised way, 81 am driving the
COW to pasture"
"Where is the cow" asked his
friend.
Mr.. Rogers looked around vaguely
and then said humbly, 81 suppose |
forgot to let her out of the barn"
And so he had.

RED BOTTLES BEST FOR MILK
French Physician Asserts Color viii
Keep the Contents Fresh for
Some Ten Hours.

To keep milk fresh, put it in red
bottles. That is the explanation
given by DR.. Eduard Pantet of Yer
sailles, France. He has reported
some interesting experiments con-
corning the influence of red light on
milk, and says red bottles solve the
milk preservation problem by keep
ing it fresh for ten hours.
That light is a detriment to the
preserving of milk is well known, but
which of the rays really did the mis-
chief was not known until Doctor
Pantet experimental. He found
after testing all colors that red rays
were beneficial, but that those
toward the violet side of the spec
trum caused the milk to "turn.".
Doctor Pantet proved his expert
ment by placing sterilized and I'M
sterilized milk in uncolored bottles
in the light for a full day. They
were both spoiled and both equally
bad. At the same time both kinds of
milk were placed in red glass bottles,
and at the end of the day both kinds
of milk were found to be fresh, even
the unsterilized milk being good for
~aany hours.

EAT SLOWLY AND BE WELL
~Bolting" of Food Is One of the Chief
Causes of Disturbance Of Digest
i've Organs.

Hurried and rapid eating, which
today is too common among all
classes of society, prevents anything
like efficient mastication, and as al
result the food has very poor start
in the digestive process before reach
ing the stomach. 1t is always wiser
to take less food if need be and them
masticate that thoroughly rather
than hurry rapidly through a bigl
meal. There is no doubt that 'bolt-t
ing" the food is one of the most
prolific causes of Indigestion, dyspep-|
STA, headache and many other symp-|
toms and disturbances that might be
mentioned.
While prevention is the best cure,
there is every reason to believe that
the majority of people who suffer
from digestive disorders would de-

of President Wilson
ANNOUNCEMENT BY BRYAN
lntimated that of President Of Fore
River Company Was in $780,
100000 Zeal

Washington, Dec. 7--President Will
son today expressed the opinion,
through a statement issued by Secre-
tary Bryan, that the building of sub
marines for any of the belligerents of
the present war would be contrary to
the spirit Of neutrality of the United
States.
The statement contained an an
nouncement that the Bethlehem Steel
corporation, of which Charles M.
Schwab is president, and which owns
the Fore River Shipbuilding corpora.
ton, has deferred to the views of the
President and did not intend TO deliv-
er any submarines to the belligerents
during the present war.
The question of whether it is legal
for American firms to build submar-
ines for shipment in parts has not
been decided.
Secretary Bryan said he felt sure
that the Presidents declaration would
deter ship builders from sending
parts OF submarines to Canada for
shipment as had been reported.
II has been reported that Mr..
Schwabs contracts with one of the
European powers. presumably Eng
land, for the building OF submarines
amounting to as much as s50,0OO,000.
