already forgetting her as an incident by
the wayside.
Her story was all too common--like hun
dreds of other unwritten tragedies OF our
modern womanhood. She had been a high
school girl in a little Pennsylvania town.
and would have been graduated In SIN

week she and some of her friends made
habit of attending a moving picture the

should pass the principal hotel in the town
In doing so, but they always MADE II a
point to go that way.
1t was there that the travelling statesmen
always put up" and, although the girls
didn't admit 1t, they seemed to enjoy the
looks of admiration from these men with
the city airs and stylish clothes, They
saw no harm in a little innocent frta-
ton" And thus into Mollie's life came the
man, who from a casual introduction, pro-
gressed rapidly to a violent love-making
that swept the girl off her feet. She had
accompanied him surreptitously to near
by city, where they were to be married
and she had left note for her mother and
father announcing the fact And then she
had awakened from a month of wild bliss
to face the ugly truth. The man with
whom her life was to have been one long
honeymoon had disappeared. and had left
her to work out her future alone. The mar
rage, which ne nau postponed from day to
day, had never taken place.
One of our poets has saids
All wasteful woman! she who may
On her sweet self set her own price
Knowing he cannot choose but pay
How has she cheapened Paradise!
Many women have echoed to me Molle's
sobbing words:
II trusted him so much. I would have
risked my life In his hands"

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
BY DIR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG

THE wet girdle is not new remedy.
i For many centuries II has Deen in use
among European peasants. especially in
Germany, where IL Is known as "Neptune's
Grdle"-which raises IL to the level of ro-
nance and poetry. Here's the way to do 1t.
Get a linen bandage ten or twelve inches
wide and long enough to pass three times
around the body-say, about three yards
II you are not overblessed with corpulence.
Coarse towelng is the proper thing you
Will also need waterproof covering OF
oiled silk or similar material.
Wiring the linen bandage out of cold
water and wrap II about the body like a
girdle extending from the sternum down.
Apply the silk cover to keep in the heat
and moisture of the linen bandage, wrap
about the body thick wooden bandage
long enough to go twice around to retain
the heat and cause the wet bandage to
warm up quickly and keep warm. The ef-
feet is that of a poutice, but the applica-
ton is much cleaner and really more Of
feotive.
In addition to being one Of the best pre-
ventives of insomnia, the wet girdle is
highly beneficial in almost any disease of
the stomach, liver and bowels.
Cases of chronic inflammation of the In
testines, insomnia, chlorosis, and neuras-
thena are likely TO be benefited by the wet
giTdle.
stubborn cases Of constipation. as well as
chronic diarrhea have often been greatly
helped through the use OF the glrdle The
impervious outer coverings should always be
allowed to extend an inch or more beyond
the wet bandage, 50 as to prevent evapora-
tion at the edges.
In case OF dlarrhea the oil silk should
not be used. If the bandage is used for
some days in succession, care should be
taken to use n fresh clean towel every day.
II this is not done, skin eruptions are likely
to appear.
The wet girdle is an excellent home
remedy for persons who suffer from abdom-
inal soreness, indigestion and sleeplessness.
1t is simple and harmless. one precau-
ton Is necessary, the bandage must not be
allowed to get cold. To prevent this 1t
must be applied smoothly and snugly.

Advantage of Canning in Closed Jar

To the EdtfoT OF WonurS rage:
Dear Madam-will you please tell me what
the advantage of canning according to the
present-day method is-that Is, placing the
yegeetables and fruits in the }srs and S9okns
The advantage lies in the fact that the
product is better in color in flavor and in
texture IL cooked in this way. 1t Is not
crushed nor cooked until mushy instead Of
Q conglomerate mass each berry or piece Of
fruit is distinct. BY this method the vege-
table or fruit Is also sterilized completely;
II the product Is put into the jar, the jar
closed and the product cooked, the organ
isms are sure to be killed and the sealed Jar
prevents any outside bacteria from getting
in. BY the old open kettle or hot-pack
method 1t is impossible to know that any
xiven Jar or product is perfectly sterilized
Even when the products, the jars utensils
rubbers and covers are perfectly sterile
there Is a chance that bacteria will get In
while the product is being dipped from the
kettle into the jar.
This method also saves time in that It Is
O. easy to cook q dozen Jars as 1t Is to cook
enc, and the product need not be constantly
watched to prevent burning.
