TALKS ON MATRIMONY FOR MEN WOMEN
KNOW MORE ABOUT MEN THAN EVER BEFORE
BY WINONA WILCOX

2 HNllNOlNFA WILMA
Marital" and matrimonial are
interchangeable in common speech,
but they do not mean the same
thing. Marital" used exactly, ap-
plies to the husbands side of mar
rage. Perhaps we mistake its mean
ing so easily because from the begin
ming we attribute so little Importance
to mans part in domestic life.
The minor role of the groom at a
wedding makes staple comic column
copy. The wife has the deed of the
home in her name. She furnishes
the house, runs the kitchen and
manages the children according to
her own ideas.
When man thinks about his sub
ordinate place in the system, he
either SCOTS at the situation or re-
sents it. Which is not quite fair, be-
cause man himself does not need
marriage. 7
This is one of the truths which is
not repeated so often as it should be
because it shocks some very nice
persons, male and female. However
disturbing it may be, straight think
ers are bound to admit that man
does not really need marriage. He
does not require the home to be
comfortable in. He would be per-
fectly happy and many times would

BREATHING FAD OPPOSED.
New Bedford Times.)


A widely known physician remarks
that there is nearly as much nonsense
in the deep breathing fad" as there
is beneficial, but not in the way most
persons suppose.
The common notion, inculcated by
opponents of the big chest and red
blood gospel, is that the more air you
take into your lungs the more oxygen
you get into the blood, thereby giving
the blood a brighter red color and in
creasing the health of the whole body.
The function of the lungs, of course,
is to burn up the impurities in the
blood, and oxygen is the chemical
agent in that process. The impurities
pass off as carbonic acid gas. But the
fallacy says this doctor, consists in
the assumption that the lungs can be
made to do more work.
AS matter Of fact, he says, the
lungs do their own chemical regulat-
ing, and use only as much oxygen as
they see fit, regardless of what their
owner may do. "One can not increase
the amount Of oxygen in the blood or
decrease the amount of carbonic one
bit by deep breathing" The lungs al
ways contain more oxygen than they
can use, even in the shallowest breath
ing provided of course the air is suf-
ficiently pure.
The chief advantage in deep breath
ing is to help the circulation. The pres
ure of air in lungs filled to their ca
pacity drives some of the blood out
Of the trunk into the limbs, and
warns the hands and feet if they are
cold

GENIUS THE SAME.
Isaac MAYER Wise.)

Wherever genius is placed it mani
tests itself by breaking through the
crystalized forms and pouring forth
new creations of the mind, and is
therefore the cause Of all progressions
in history. 1t is the same genius I'M
der all circumstances, although its
peculiar manifestations always depend
on outer circumstances. 1t is the
same genius whether among peasants
or mechanics, students or poets, paint
ers, sculptors or architects, in the
army, in the legislature or executive
council Of nation, in a school mast
er's chair or composers study. It's
peculiar manifestations only depend
on outward circumstances to throw it
upon this or that department of human
activity; but it will show everywhere
its inventive force and the universal
ity of it's character.

THE PEACE OF THE GODS.

With multitudes of others the Her

Forgive us, then, Henry, if we follow
in our own weak way the suggestion
brought out in your editorial last week

the highway commissioners estimate
of $4,000 per mile as the cost of
good road and multiplies this by the
337 miles in the proposed system. The
answer Henry finds to be the stagger-
ing sum of $1,650, 100000. Quite fright
smart" amount isn't it, Henry? On the
other hand how much do you suppose
has been spent in this county alone on
the system of patching and repairing,
say in the last seventy years? With
out doubt, the answer if it were known
would be many times 1850, 100000. Mr..

Gus mistake of confounding illiteracy
with ignorance. No greater error in
fact, could exist. Ignorance means
stupidity plus wrong-headednes Will
full lack of knowledge. IlIiteracy
means simply deprivation from "book
larnin." We all know men of posi-

Der who have had little opportunities

called an education. But that means
little. They know life and they know
mankind which of course, IS life. Life

lean close to her breast and the appli-
cation of these lessons means success

ual. Men with little education very
frequently make the mistake of be-
lifting themselves because they do not
know books forgetting all the while
that they have actually accomplished
the very things books endeavor to
teach others to do. The stupid, ignor-
ant man laughs at the wisdom of the
ages set down in the written word and

The positive danger that the Ameri-
can people will face in a too short
time is an enormously increased cost
OF living. Every indication is that
what has heretofore been considered
as expensive for ordinary necessities
will pale into mere insignificance be-
fore the tremendous prices impending.
In New England, it is said, eggs sell
now for go cents the dozen and other
things are in proportion. In New
York it was recently stated that un-

The failure in the analogy occurs in
that only few of us have made any
profit. War prices and protecting our
right to export, has resulted in the
shipment of our very substance into
lands where a highly socialized condi-
ton due to war has enjoined the gov
ernments to feed the masses. Here
no. such socialized condition exists
and our masses are in fair way to
starve or freeze to DEATH We have
been talking great deal about what
we are going to do after the war is
over. The sooner we realize that we
are up against serious condition in
the immediate present the better for
the plain common man our president
and his supporters took such a ire
mendous interest in prior to election.
