BY DOROTHY DIX
The worlds highest paid woman
writer.
20 far as ! can gather from the
many heart walls that reach me
- ON the subject, the two things
from the feminine point OF view, that
prevent matrImOny from being the
grand. sweet song it should DO, and
turn it into the sCrapIing match that
it too often is, are the absence Of the
individual pocket book and the pre-
sence Of the latch key.
And Of these two enemies TO dOmes
tic peace and happiness, the chief
offender is the latch key. Women
would rather do without their own
money when they 90 shopping in the
morning than to do without the soci-
ETY. of their husbands in the home OF
evenings.
In the course Of a year | literally
get hundreds of letters on this subject
written by the wives who piteously
beg for some good, reliable recipe
for keeping a man nailed to his own
fireside at night. And the burden OF
these letters is always the same. It's
the loneliness OF women who spend
long, dull, monotonous hours with no
body to talk to- nobody to look at,
even, nothing to do but just to yawn
at the clock till they yawn themselves
to bed
These women write that as soon as
dinner is over their husbands put on
their hats and fare forth to enjoy
themselves. Sometimes they don't
even come home to dinner, but tele.
phone that they've been detained
down town by important business.
Sometimes they make excuse that
they have to meet a customer or sit
up with a sick friend, and sometimes
they just don't offer any apologies.
They merely bang the door behind
them.
The result is the same to the
women. She's woEked all day just as
bard as her husband, may be a little
harder. cooking, sewing, mending, dust
hg, taking care Of the children. 1t has
been solitary WORK, done in the home,
with nobody to exchange a thought
with, nobody to give her a fresh idea,
or to tell her a good story that will
give here the mental flip of a laugh.

world where women take better care
Of themselves and give less personal

yet mo genuine observer can decide
otherwise than that the homes of a
nation are the bulkwarks of personal

Time for Women to Help
Now is the time for women to help
in the fight for a square deal, first
by acquainting themselves with eco
nomic facts, and secondly by passing
that knowledge on to less fortunate
sisters who have neither leisure nor
ability to conserve or utilize to the
best ends.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
Says insIde-bathlng makes any.
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness.
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce OF waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
1t quickly ferments and generates
polsons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a.
glass OF real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach l.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching. head or
have flrred tongue, bad taste. nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
are i assured Of pro-
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.

SOMETHING NEW UNTER THE SUN

just at the moment when the sub
marine has become the Invest topic OF
word converse ton, comes the announce
ment that the first spectacular sub
marine photo feature to be staged at
the bottom of the ocean, will be seen at
the Lyric Theatre, starting Sunday
afternoon, Feb. II. This spectacle is
an ambitious production Of Jules Verne's
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Seas There will be two performances
each afternoon, and one at night. The
prices will range from twenty-five to
fifty cents each performance, with a few
choice seats at night selling for 81. With
each dollar seat ordered by mail, copy
Of Jules Verne's novel is given.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Seas was written half century ago.
and was regarded at that time as the
frenzied dream of an overheated magma
ton. Nobody thought under-sea navi-
cation was any more possible than
trip to the moon. But, since the opening
OF the European war, the submarine has
become the most deadly reality in the
history of the world, and it is a re-
markable fact that the inventors of the
submarine have followed closely the
pattern laid down by Jules Verne for the
Nautilus The building of the sub
marines made practicable the staging of
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Seas, and the remarkable invention a
few months ago by the Williamson
Brothers of method Of taking photo
graphs under water made possible the
recording of the scenes for the screen. =
Among the almost uncanny adven-
lures pictured is a shark hunt at the
bottom of the ocean, in which Captain
Memo and his party engage in a genuine
battle with the man-eating monsters,
using powerful air rifles as weapons. In
another startling scene, the mysterious
captain rescues pearl diver from the
grasp OF a giant octupus. Of unearthly
beauty are the photographs of bewilder-
ing forests of coral, with fish swimming
about among the ghostly limbs. A full
symphony orchestra accompanies the
production. Adv. n

NATIONAL FOREST ENLARGED
BY THOUSANDS OF ACRES

Acting under the authority of special
Act of Congress approved September 8,
1916, the President has, on recommen-
dation of the Secretary of Agriculture,
signed a proclamation adding approx
mately $4,000 acres to the Whitman
National Forest, Oregon. The lands
involved are situated on the divide be-
tween the John Day, Powder, and Burnt
rivers, in east-central Oregon.
Over 1000 acres consist of timber
lands which were included in patented
entries. AS the result of suits brought
by the United States, the patents for
these entries were Cancelled by the courts
because they were acquired through
fraud or mistake, and the lands were
returned to Government ownership.
The Cancelled claims carry total es-
timated stand of nearly 46,OOO,OOO feet
B. M. of timber.
Much of the other land included in
the addition is privately owned. It
consists largely of cut-over cumberland,
on which the timber growth is rapidly
reproducing. One portion of the Act
Of Congress authorizing the addition
provides especially for the exchange Of
Government timber for privately owned
lands in the Whitman National Forest
which may be chiefly valuable for the
production of timber or the protection
OF streamflow. Several applications for
exchanges of this character have al
ready been submitted.
