Copyright, 1915, by the News
This morning when I went to the
hospital I found dear Aunt Mary in
splendid spirits and apparently in a
very comfortable condition.
''They are not going to operate
until the last Of the week" she said.
Dick went with me and while we
were with her we both tried to make
her think we were perfectly happy
again.
She would not let either of us stay
with her long. ''YoU know, my
dears, she said, when any one is as
i'll as am they grow very selfish and
insistant on having their material
wants fulfilled. I have my splendid
nurse and she will be fussing with me
all the time that was not asleep. So
you two dear people will be in the
way. Make me a little call at least
once a day but the remainder Of your
time go about your daily business
with the feeling that l am doing as
well as l can under the circum-
stances"
While I was there I asked about
Eleanor FairIow and found that she
. was not feeling well at all Had been
off duty for nearly a week in care OF
a nurse part Of the time.
When we left the hospital Dick
said to me:
''Margie, why don't you send Flea
nor some fruit and f1OweTs?"
'T'u do it on my way back home"
I promised.
''Her favOrite flowers are viOlets,'
he remarked, and then closed his lips
! tightly as though he wished he had
not volunteered that information.

am heaTtbTOken about that
money. It will take me a long time
to save up another thousand dollars.
I still have about that much in the
bank, but I cling to that old idea OF
mine that must have some money to
fall back on and so I let Dick believe
that the money 1 gave him was all
I had.
And, little book, the fact that he
does not consider what l save as mine
makes me feel rather queer.
He still thinks and all have be
long" to him, body and soul; but 1
know that idea lies shattered in
pieces that can never be put together
again. I do not believe that any
woman worth the name wants to "be-
long" after the first few weeks Of the
honeymoon and she begins to realize
that this world contains something
more than just romantic love, or
rather when she begins to realize that
romantic love cannot last.

the truth when he said he had never
found a woman he could be interested
in for long?
Isuppose a man as rich and charm
ing as he is worried to death by the
women who fling themselves at his
head.
Jim called me up the next day to
say that he was sending a taxi to take
Kitty to the train, and incidentally
remarked that he had never heard
Stuart so enthusiastic about women
as he was about those he met at
Eliene's. And Margie, he said, Mrs.
Waverly is the loveliest of them all.
Jim, you're an awful fiatterer."

OFT THE SILLY NIGHT,

Oft in the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Fond memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
The smiles, the tears
Of boyhood years,
The words of love then spoken;
The eyes that shone, F..
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
When remember all
The friends so linked together,
I've seen around me fall.
Like leaves in wintry weather,
l feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he departed. -.
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad memory brings the light
OF other days around me. ,..,s

If one could only find the way
Into the land Of yesterday!

Rush up the quiet lane and then,
Just when her roses laughed in pride,
Find her among the flowers again.
I'd slip in silently and wait
Until she saw me by the gate,
And then !" - read through a blur of
Quick pardon for the selfish years.
This time, this time, would not wait
For the brief wire that said: Too late"
If could only find the way "
Into the land of yesterday.

Lift up their heads and laugh with
pride
And if her phlox and mignonette
Have heart to blossom by their side;

Still chirps with robins after rain,
And if the birds and banded bees
Still rob her early cherry tree. -

But no! not now; there is no way

Science is beginning to teach us
some very significant lessons. We
prevent our loss from crop Of wormy
apples, not by trying to pull the worms
out of the apples, but by preventing
them from getting into the apples.
However, when it comes to a system
for the human body we have been &C
customed to wait until disease makes
it's inroads into the body and then call
a physician. Our medicine was one of
cure-of repair. The time has come
when we need to adopt medicine of
escape-for life itself is one series of
escapes after another until the final
failure to escape is spelled Death.
Why not apply the same science to
the question of health that we do the
production Of perfect apples?
In the city of Cleveland last year
there were 1906 deaths of infants
under twelve months of age. At least
$500 of these deaths were directly due
to diseases arising from food. At least
80 per cent of these deaths were pre-
ventable. In other words, 1000 babies
under year old died in one of our
cities in one year from ignorance and
neglect.
Cleveland is no exception to the rule,
for it is one of the cleanest cities in
America The mothers of those 1900
little sacrificed offerings were not in
formed. They needed instruction.
Those who supplied the milk for the
city's supply needed instruction and
supervision. Why not employ the physi-
clan end the nurse to keep us we'll in
stead of asking them to repair us
after we are broken? At least, should
we not give more attention to santa
ton and health in all our instruction
in the home and in the school?-The

MIDSUMMER DAY DREAM

l know where there's hill
Where the roads make bend
To 90 down to the mill, ..
And the meadowlands end;
And the forest trees rise ....t
With the shadows between
That are glad to ones eyes,
And are soothingly green.
And you look far away
From the hilltop and see ...
How the breezes all stray
Past the hawberry tree
That is deep in the wheat,
And go whispering low
In the glimmer of heat ,pf
Where the red peoples grow.
Miles away so it seems
Are the spires Of towns
But the shade holds our dreams
Where the light shuttles down;
And there is not sigh,
And there is not care, s
And the hilltop is high -. .5.s. Z
And l want to go there.
