the best OF the hard time she has,
they encourage her to look about her
and marry early-and be sure not to
miss a good chance. Some time ago
she met a man who paid constant at
tention to her. He new invited her
to accompany him to places where 1t
would cost him much money, though
he heard her mention how we'll she
would like to go to places nov and
then. Moonlight strolls, a boat ride,
or q picnic was all that he showed an
inclination to take her to.
She could not master courage to
find out where the fault was, in keep
ing her away from a few costly en-
joyments, which all her girl chums
participated in. She blushed when
she told these many companions that
she didn't care a rap about going out
many nights in the week with him.
Merry-goers know better. They laugh
ingly taunt her with either being a
prude, or not much interested in
young men and girls whom she used
to chum with. How could the love
she had for him endure, when he did
not appear to be concerned about her
pleasure, II cost figured in 1t?
Yet she would have married him
had 1t not been for one reason. That
he insisted q man who woaM marry
wisely, should start in with a wife
who would forego all expenditures, ex-
cept those absolutely needed. That
they should begin their welded life
with love in u cottage" That the hus-
band should be aided by the wife in
holding on to the family purse strings;
while the married woman, who never
had very much money to call her own,
was happier than n who enjoyed a
palace, and vas spoiled by luxurious
habits and gay fashions that Slapped
her life in idleness.
Should she break with this wooer
who was manly enough to teach her
the humble, yet better way to start on
matrimonial life? Or, vas it wise to
hint that the best part of her days
she would give to washing dishes,
sweeping and busting the floors, with
no servants hand, all for the sake Of
a dear little cottage and the love Of
the nan she had wed.
No, don't hint that! her conscience
told her, II you do, the poor heart
tortured lover would run far and away
from you. Instead, girl-like, she fol.
lowed her best impulse, stood beside
the man who had told her the truth
and looked straight in his eyes, say
ing in a low voice: You have taught
me the true feelings Of what | ought
to do, to become a real helpmate."
He had won her by not giving her
sentimental words and airy promises,
but by true persuasion that made her
heart beat with delight at the pros
pect OF beginning their love in a cot
tage," with a surety of happiness
ever after.

joining Of Cupid's hands and hearts

spoil the fun OF the other. 1t was

Birthday and marriage day should

lark, returning from a visit to the
farm he was enthusiastic over, as to

down. The little cottage and farm
were so much nicer than accustomed

husband to keep track of a wife's age

diversified form of agriculture.
In the experimental curing house
n test was made last winter in which
tho estimated cost OF curing the meat
was not over th~ree-fou?ths of a cent a
pound, including the cost of the ice.
All meat cured in dry salt kept per-
fectly, but five hams and shoulders
cured by the brine method pulled in
five days after being hung up. The
plans called for a building IL by IL
feet In size, but this Is somewhat
larger than would ordinarily be re-
uuired, and a building 8 by 9 feet was
erected. Buildings Of the larger size,
however, II is thought, can be operated
successfully on n cooperative basis.
The planter on whose farm it was
constructed could do the curing for
his %neighbors and take his pay in
meat, as millers still do in some SEQ
tons In grain.

It's a very vital part.
There is nothing that is more inter.
esting to men, in the course of CONVEX
sation, than to listen to the ways in
which many of the working girls have
advanced themselves, unaided. If she
has a lover, how to pass the time with
him, making the hour lively instead Of
regretting the time passed, is a sub
ject which is not apt to enter the pref
ty head Of the average single girl.
1t is a matter Of considerable mo-
ment to the young mar whose posi-
ton is not very lucrative whether he
seeks the company Of a sensible work
ing girl to share his summer 1aunts
or a girl Of high notions, in her com
Portable home, who expects her es-
cort to dance attendance upon her and
spend his money for her every within
in q reckless fashion.
Many h~igh-spirited young men like
to appear liberal when they take a
young woman on an outing. He Is in
luck II she is a prudent companion,
who does not crave too much. And

stylish sisters who imagine that they
are hungry half an hour after reach
ing the pleasure grounds and as they
pass by inns. Another lunch they will
accept with a smile a little later. His
heart sinks, as we'll it may, when his
extravagant companion selects the
costliest viands on the bill Of fare.
The young woman of this type is in
the habit of getting thirsty, too. He
has to go down in his pocket for quar-
ters every half hour for ice cream
sodas and lemonade. She wants all
the pleasures going; rides on the Fer
ris wheel, on the merry-go-rounds,
chutes. elevators, etc. Eagerly she
stops for him to spend money on cor
ners where he is solicited by popcorn
peanuts, candies of the vendors. She
may tell her neighbor girls what a fine
time she has had, but the young mar
feels c%restfallen, while in his hall bed

meager pittance left him from his

that a young mans expenses are {

for a rainy day. The helpful working
girl tries her best to reduce tn,

as ne can afford. They enjoy them

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect PhySi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly a r for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is "
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The uexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

The history Of our reform proves
that it is wellnigh impossible to take
prohibition from o state constitution
when once placed there by the voters
of a commonwealth. Constitutional
prohibition is not dependent upon
party politics. Unlike a statutory
law it is not at the mercy OF each in
coming legislature. The liquor traffic
constantly defies the laws Of the pro-
hibition states. Nothing short OF ma,
tion-wide prohibition will give to these
states the power to effectively enforce
their prohibition laws.
