LIVE YOUR LIFE
When man dies before his time, we
all say, Its TOO BAD" yet many
people, while sorrowing for their friend
neglect the little ailments that mean
an early death to themselves. The old
old story about an ounce of prevention
is as true today as ever Catarrh now
may mean consumption later on; Piles
and liberation may mean cancer in a
few years; a slight Kindey trouble may
terminate in Brights Disease. The
man who goes to a Specialist today
may get well with a little treatment,
and the man who puts off until he is in
the late stages may never be well. To
which class do you belong? Are you a
procrastinator? Or do you belong to
the class who say ''DO IT NOW. -
Your life may depend on it.

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE

pleasure of bringing up new thoughts
to tell you, little book.
1t has been so long since could
think of anything but concrete pain
that it was like going into another de-
ightful country to once more ask
myself why" and then try to answer.
l am going to tell you, little book,
of all my experiences since have
been lying here, for some of them
have been very Illuminating. l have
changed my mind many times in the
last three months. -..-..
And l have come to the conclusion
that as long. as woman has power
to change her mind she is still young.
1t is only the old and settled, little
book, that pride themselves on never
changing after once making up their
minds.
You are probably wondering what
all this means, little book, why l am
trying to excuse myself for deviating
from perhaps some one of my most
cherished beliefs. guess that is true
and the belief that is growing weaker
is that poor old Dick is wholly I'M
worthy. He has been wonderful to
me since 1 have been lying here.
Everything that can possibly be done
for my comfort has been done.
Every day he has called me up on
the special telephone he has had
placed at my bedside. The first thing
in the morning, and every day he has
visited me at least once, although l
know he has been extremely busy
since Mr. Selwin died.
At first he was very very different
about approaching me, but someway
l early found no one, not even the ex-
perienced nurses or internes, could
move me with as little pain as he.
You see, little book, he was max
ing me comfortable and was finding
out that the wild ecstacy of love was
not absolutely necessary to a good

fess to you, dear little confident who
never divulges my secrets, that 1

to pet me.
My pain was so agonizingly ma
terial that wanted material compen-
sation and here is the awful part of
it: have not been able yet to de-
eide whether it was Dicks kisses l
wanted or just kisses.
Someway l felt like a child who

and yet Dick gave me no intimation-
that he wanted to kiss me-
How could he, little book! l was
not his wife-was not awoman-only
a helpless clod that self-respect made
him pity and care for.
One day during a more awful pa
roxysm of pain than usual, while he
was trying to lift me into a more
comfortable position for about the
fiftieth time, gasped out: Poor old
Dick, l am so sorry for you"
