Husband of 80 Pays High
Tribute to His Wife, Who
Is Ii Years His Senior.

Should woman marry man nine
years younger than herself?
Should a man marry woman nine
years his senior2
These two questions were submitted 10
Times readers when they were asked to
write on the subject of whether Mary
Waverly, 81, widow should we'd Max
Pcndleton, %.
The majority opinion expressed was
that woman should be younger than
her husband for an ideal marriage.
Many women took that view.
The opposite was held by women who
refused to concede that marriage on the
part of a woman is prompted solely by
state of dependency.
We can conceive Of the thing working
out both ways.
Beautifully, for instance, if the woman
younger than her husband and wanting
to lean on him, is satisfied always TO
lean--to look to him for advice and inspi-
ration and to let him be the controlling
factor in her life.
Not so beautifully, on the other hand
il the woman was married with the idea
of letting her husband be her inspiration
and discovers later on. that there isn't a
thing about him that is inspiring.
Beautifully, again, il husband young
err than his wife is willing to concede that
she is his superior, mentally. and pos
sesses ability that he lacks and which he
needs for balance.
Not so beautiful, on the other hand,
again, if he is not so firmly convinced
of dependence himself that he will tire
little later Of playing Fido to her
whistle.

ANGER POISON.
BY DR.. FRANh CRANE
Copyright. 1915, by Frank Crane>

All the poisons are not kept in chained
bottles on drug store shelves.
All the cases of strange illness and
wastings are not due to subtle drops
from India nor mysterious powders sold
by old witches
And all the shocking deaths are not
the result of taking tablets of bichloride
of mercury thinking they are of aspirin.
The commoneSt, deadliest, and most
dreadful poisons are those we carry
around with us. They are contained in
our mind.
There is no doubt about the injurious
effects of certain emotions upon the
body. They are as well authenticated
as the operation of henbane or arsenic.
The oxidation of sweat glands, for in
stance has been analysed. and certain
strong feelings have been shown to pro-
duce certain definite injurious sccretions.
Anger is one state which produces dis
eased conditions. as headache. loss of APP
petite. deranged digestion even syn
cope
In one instance the anger of a mother
mad such an effect upon her sucking child
that it died in paroxysms
Not only the occasional outbursts of
anger but those states we might call
chronic anger such as impatience, petu-
lance, irrtability, bad temper, and the
like. produce as clear forms Of intoxica-
ton (poisoningl as alcohol.
Many cases Of chronic Indigestion ner-
vousness, morbidity. and hypochondria
are attributable to nothing but slow
anger poison.
If one can clean the harmful ferments
out OF his body by dose Of salts or by
the use of bran and OIL he can also
cleanse his system of far more toxic con-
tents by forgiving his enemies every
night before he goes to bed. by daily
purging MS consciousness Of all hates, re-
sentiments, and grudges.
Anger is sometimes unavoidable, as
when we witness or hear Of some out
rageous act of injustice or cruelty. But
II we must nave ~, ltt ~ 't Nuith ai'u
soon over For when it remains in us
it is we who suffer and not our adver-
sary
1t unnerves our hand. blinds our vision,
.mpairs our judgment. and when it leaps
20 vengeance invariably overleaps bring
ing to Us regret and remorse in lieu Of
satisfaction
Remember, wrote Lord Chesterfield,
there are but two procedures in the
world to a gentleman and a man Of parts:
either extreme politeness or knocking
down"
And mighty good advice it is from
the old worldly-wise philosopher For
anger that is baked OF impotent if kept
lurking in the mind. settles into a slow
poison.
It distorts the features and makes even
a handsome face ugly, gives vicious
twist 10 the smile and forbidding cast to
the eye
1t distorts our thoughts We become
unpleasant companions To ourselves. and
from ourselves there Is no escape.
II upsets sleep disturbs the simple de-
lights Of eating and drinking degrades
our work and spoils our play.
do not say, Don't get angry, but
Don't stay angry.

The purpose of these remarks is TO in
troduce a letter-the best letter We re-
ceived-which came too late 10 be printed
with the others.
II is from man who married woman
IL years his senior.
His letter says:

Detroit March -. 1915.
We have named this husband class.
He is appreciative that he has bene-
fted from having wife his senior
not because she is MS senior and not be-
cause MS is her Junior, but because she
has been wife and help and a pillar
to lean upon.
II follows that the wife has made it
her business TO help her husband carry
the load and in SO doing has found her
own happiness in married life.
All we want TO add is that age should
have no bearing on the case except in
the event Of fool marriages we some
times hear about when some idiot Of a
girl sells herself to some fool i'm his
dotage
