The great efforts made to provide am
pie and varied subsistence for the men
have double motive; 1t Is the natural
desire Of a gentleman to take good caro-
of those who must depend upon him. The
American soldier, especially the volun.
teer who surrenders so much domestic
comfort from a sense of duty, is en-
titled to the best that those who stay at
home can give. and food and comforts
to him are no gratuity.
The other reason Is that the first duty
of a soldier is to fight; and a sick SOL
der puts up a weak fight. He may un-
der the excitement of conflict load and
fire and even charge, but he will not
march for that night or Tight vigor-
ously the next day: When the sick SOL
der is done he Is a burden upon his
fellows; he must go to hospital and
rest and repair. With all said about
hungry heroes. a well fed soldier can
keep longer at the game. Admiral
Dewey knew this, when at Manila he
halted fire to give his crews their
breakfast.
Those who recall the appearance of
volunteers and regulars upon their re-
turn from Cuba know that there was
hardly kick left in their emactated
bodies. Climate, carelessness in drink
ing unfiltered water had as much to 90
with 1t as their improper rations, but
these men had been reduced almost to
a state of helplessness, because they
had not been properly cared for. Good
sense and good feeling alike are OPP
posed to such course In any threat
ened trouble.
Therefore the entire system has been
made over; competent men are In charge:
the present force must be EXPANDED
but many who know the ropes perez

are offering their service when needed.

YOUR WEDDING DAY.
AND
The Famous Men and Women Who
Have Shared It.
BY MARY MARSHALL.
May l6-Heinrich Schopenhauer and
ohanna Trosina.

The marriage Of Heinrich Schopen-
hauer and Johanna Trosina which took
place in DantziC, Germany. 131 years
ago today is noteworthy chiefly be-
cause 1t was blessed by the child who
became the great philosopher Arthur
SchOpenhauer. Still the fact that Frau
Schopenhauer was regarded as one of
the most advanced" women of her
period in Germany would make the
union of interest.
At the time of their marriage Jo-
hanna was eighteen and her husband
was thirty-eight. She was vivacious.
intellectual and pretty. with an ex-
ceedingly attractive figure, clear blue
eyes and light brown hair. Heinrich
was anything but prepossessing, and it
is perhaps little wonder that though
he was much in love with his young
wife she regarded him but cody. How
ever, he had position and wealth and
she accepted his offers of marriage
and did not delay in terminating the
engagement. After the Wedding they
went to live at SChopenhauer's country
house about four miles from Dantzic
The house was on a wooded hill that
looked out over the sea and here the
pretty young bride spent many years
of her early married life in compara-
tive isolation Her loneliness was in
tense because her husband only visited
her from Saturday till Monday, being
kept by business away from her the
rest of the time. Still Johanna was not
unhappy. There was a good library
in the house, and a lovely garden, a
pond with a small boat, some spaniels
and eight pet lambs with bells that
rang an octave. There were two horses
in the stable, too. and the young bride
was free to ride over the countryside
whenever she chose.
1t was not till the Schopenhauers
had been married for three years that
Arthur, the great philosopher, was
born and from his infancy he was
adored by his mother. Still from about
the time of his birth she began to
and in spite Of several tours taken
with her husband she longed to be
free from the ties of family life. Mar
riage had made her no more attracted
to her husband and their differences
Of opinion seemed to increase as time
went on. Frau Schopenhauer was in
ttensely patriotic and was interested in
the progress of German ideas and Ger
man nationality; while Schopenhauer
himself was an avowed cosmopolitan
and selected the name Arthur for his
son because it was a name of all ma
ttons.
At thirty-eight Frau Schopenhauer
was left widow and then it was that
her career as an intellectual leader
really began. Although not a writer
of any great ability herself she gath
cred around her all the leading Ger
man men of letters of the day. includ-
ing Goethe, who had a strong influence
over her. A biographer of the great
philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said
of this interesting mother, Nine.
Schopenhauer is an instance against
the theory that marriage, and mother
hood are the true vocation of every
woman, or, at any rate, it proves that
there are natures which do not find
in their actual wedlock the compliment
tary being through whom their facul-
ties rise into full maturity"

Start a Walking Club
By FRANCES MARSHALL

A walking club is an organization that
lis sure to repay those who get 1t up a
hundredfold. For a walking club brings
health and happiness to every one who
belongs to it. and It is something that
appeals to people of all ages, from chill
dren old enough to take long walks to
old people not too old to do SO.
A summer walking club for Saturday
afternoons, when most men and wom-
en- who work are free, is a delightful
thing. Either a committee can choose
the routes for the walk, or they can be
chosen by popular vote. A plan of walk
ing can be mapped out at the beginning
of the season, or each week the trip for
the next can be decided.
Begin OF course, by walking com
paratively small distance. Increase this
distance as the members get more used
TO walking until it is really something
to be proud of.
Singing is a delightful pastime on a
long walk. The people walking can be
divided into several parts, and. one at
a time can sing, SO that the others can
be saving breath. Or the whole crowd
can sing together. Really it is quite
thrilling, quite invigorating. to walk along
over the countryside with a party OF
congenial companions, all singing at the
top of their lungs. Whistling. too, is
sometimes delightful.
1t is pleasant to take a picnic lunch
oCca asionally, on these hikes. But the
lunch should not be made the occasion
of the hike-sand wiches and fruit that
can be easily carried should be a suf-
ficient repast. Lunch can also be bought
at a wayside inn, sometimes. But al
ways rest before eating. Throw yourself
down on the ground in the shade of a
tree and relax for fifteen or twenty min
utes before having lunch.
A walking club for children can be
made the occasion of much pleasure as
well as instruction.
One way OF managing a walking club
| for children is to plan to visit a foreign
country in each walk. The older per
son who has the club in hand must
/ fit herself to describe the country
visited, and each child should be asked
to tell what he or she knows about the
country in question. Talk about the
money used, the wild flowers. the type OF
country, the trees. the birds, and the
cities Of the countries in question. An
| added zest will be given to the walks If
! the picnic neal is suggestive of meals
in the countries in question. For in.

\ CONFESSIONAL my stage career
I have longed to play the part
of vampire!
l confided this to a friend the other
day, who told me it was just about as
funny as Charlie Chaplin's longing Ito
play a romantic Romeo. Not that
Charlie Chaplin could not be the hand
some Romeo, just as Shakespeare would
have had him, but do you think the
public would ever take him serious
ly? No, indeed, not even if he were
to appear before US as the most SOM
ber-hued Hamlet who ever strobe
across the screen.
What would you do with your
curls?" my friend asked me, amid gales
of laughter. "Who ever saw vampire
with tumbled curly head!
OF course I was quite indignant, and,
seeking consolation, I talked with all
the petite ingenues in the studio.
"If you could choose your favorite
role, which would it be-" asked them,
"Td like to be a vampire like Theda

frail as a wild flower. I'D like to weai
