again curiously.
| Just what l said. This is wal
time, my child, and the more boy
children that are born the better"
A real smile broke across Mollie's
face at this naive remark. "Oh, you
funny old thing" she said amused
| ly, IF that isn't just like YOU"
But doesn't it sound rationale
! mo, not to me-"
well. it should. You ought to be
the proudest woman in the world, to
think you have given q man child

most. If you stop to think about it,
Mollie, you will see that l am right
OF all the girls that 1 have known

spirit of the times insist that am

Wise Miss Benson did not know
whether she was right or not, but
she was determined to give the little
mother something to think about.

ourself for this attitude some day,
Mollie," she continued gravely. You
are missing precious moments that
can never be yours again. Some day
you will think back and long for the
moments you are throwing away
now, some day when your boy is
grown up and leaving you for an
other woman"
Mollie moved restlessly.
"As If there were any difference
in the love you could give it," Miss
Benson pursued. Boys are just as
cuddly as girls, and you are willing
to let your own little baby, the first
one you have ever had of your very
own, to receive it's first mothering
from q stranger. oh, Mollie!"
"Oh, Bendy!" Mollie walled, sud-
denly; don't talk like that any more.

Miss Benson rose quickly. Are
you properly ashamed of yourself?"
she asked severely.
You don't dese~ve the most pre-
cious gift in the world" Miss Benson
went on relentlessly. Suppose you
hadn't been given any baby at ALL"
At this moment the nurse poked
her head in at the door. The baby
is crying, Mrs. Dean" she said soft
ly; Shall 1 bring it in?"
And Mollie turned toward her,
quickly, a smile on her white little
face, and held out hungry arms.

II have seen phosphorated malt

short time. Recently patient came
20 me physicaIly run down and on
the verge OF mental collapse. His
daily work had become drudgery and
he got neither rest nor recreation
from his sports or holidays. He could
neither sleep nor concentrate his
mlnd on his work. l advised him to
eat less and take two five-grain tab
tets of phosphorated malt after each
meal. In less than ten days he
walked into my office full of vim and
vigor,-his eyes bright, his step firm
and his manner that of man of

The value of malt is we'll known to
all physicians. 1t is a remarkable
tonic and tissue builder. Combined
with phosphorus and phosphates as
mental stamina, balances the blood
and aids the system to convert food
into living tissue. The old liquid
forms of malt are not pleasant or
convenient to take and most of them
contain alcohol, which produces a
needless stimulation always followed
by dangerous and depressing reac-
ton. Phosphorated malt has the
without the evils of alcoholic stimu-
lation. In 1t malt Is so combined
with other ingredients as to produce

Note: The feeling of exhilaration
often noticeable after a few weeks
s e nf phosphorated malt is not the
result of stimulation. 1t is the buoy
lnce. that comes of perfect health,-
a life stream flowing freely, laden
with the nourishment the body needs
and flushing out through the elimi-
"tiv" system the poisons of which
the body needs to be rid. The fine
eNhilaration of perfect health and
faultless nourishment is so rare to
lost people as to be remarkable and
strange. Phosphorated malt lis sold

we are "mutantering" with the times
But so adaptable is human nature
that few of us recognize to how great
an extent we have changed.
Just try to return to your mental
attitude of four years ago. 1t seemed
to us then a very progressive age.
But as we view it now in perspective
we can see that for the first fifteen
years of this century we were prac-
tically at a halt, simply marking
time.
We might have said of it as Em-
erson said of another period Just
prior to a season of great national
stress and upheaval: "Our age is ret
respective. 1t builds the sepuichers
of the fathers. 1t writes biographies
histories and criticisms"
We are absorbed in the infinitely
little. We had grown soft. Dur
creed, whether we admitted it or not
was, Let we'll enough alone" And
when the voice of prophecy reached
our ears we felt irritated at being
disturbed. We talked a lot, but did
little We had a pretty low opinion
of human nature and very falsely
exalted idea of our civilization to
which we had attained.
And then came Liege and Lou
vain and the Marine. And human
thing we had been deriding, but as
something great and grim and splen-
did and terrible. Our world of sham
and tinsel and make believe has van
ished, and we are caught in the grip
of primitive forces. The things which
were mere words and phrases to us
-valor and democracy-have be-
come life's actualities.
This has happened before. With
Il
risen to great heights, only when
the cataclysm has passed to sink
back again to a lower level. The
stern virtue of Cromwell's time had
to give way to the silken, dissolute
court of Charles II. France beheld
a vision of equal liberty, only to
turn from it to her Reign of Terror
and the tyranny of a Robespierre.
And from the sacrifices of the Civil
War our own country passed to the
flush" materialism of the early
seventies, with it's riot offgraft and
speculation and sordid scandal.
Action is succeeded by reaction.
"As it was in the days of Noah," in
sists the pessimist. But each fresh
wave has borne us a little farther
out on the ocean of progress. So
the present mighty sweep will i'm
part such impetus that we can never
fall back to where we were.
AS a writer recently put it: at
isn't only that the old order has
changed, giving place to the new.
The old order has blown up, van
ished, evaporated, fed and gone for
ever. You could no more bring back
to this earth the conditions that
existed here on August /, 1914, than
you could bring. back the millions
of men that have perished between
that day and this. An entirely new
era very strange and wonderful is
dawning upon this old world, and
when it is well under way and go
ing properly we shall rejoice and be
glad therein"
We will never give up what we
have gained. Out of the wreck of
autocracy and provincialism and sell
fish exploitation and all the lum DER
of the dark ages shall arise a higher
standard and a great new statement.
of course, it is q mere sentimental
fantasy to expect an immediate mil
lenium. After the war there will

consideration 1 finally came to the
conclusion that it would be best to
marry her and, undoubtedly, after
our marriage L will learn to love
her more.
Do you think I am taking the
right step, or, would you advise me
to tell her exactly how l feel. ]. Q.
My dear boy, aren't you a bit of
shirker? Don't you see that you
have no right to ask any one else
to make your decision for you?
Don't be mentally lazy. Just sit
down and figure out the thing sane
ly. What do you mean when you
say that you find you do not care
enough for the girl you have loved
for three years to go through with
your marriage now that the date is
all set. great many people get a
little uncertain and nervous when
they begin to realize the importance
of the step they are taking. If you
care enough for the girl so that
rather than cause their unhappi-
ness you are willing to sacrifice your
own, perhaps your love is very real
after all. Figure out the sincerity

still be cakes and ale-or possibly, if
the "drys" have it, cakes and lemon
ade. Men and women will cheat and
lie and steal and covet and disobey
their parents and blithely break ev-
cry commandment of the decalogue.
But still we women like to think
and our dream is not going to
harm any one, while it gives us a
lot of pleasure-that the retrogres-
sion which has always followed each
fresh advance will this time be far
less marked.
A great new force has been added
to the upward striving of mankind.
And that is the introduction of wo-
man as an equal factor in the eco
nomic and political life of the world.
To her has always been vouchsafed
the spirit and the vision.
She has fingered hesitant in her
woods of Domremy, listening half
afraid to the heavenly voices, but
now she is coming forth fully armed
and her shining sword is pointing
the way to victories, of which as yet
we can only dream.

thing with her. She doesn't ever

understandingly. II knew she wan

had heard.

Benson continued, but women are
not having girls just now, at least
very few are"
The head on the pillow turned
quickly.
What are you talking about?"
Mollie asked.

What about women not having
girl babies? Oh" she exclaimed pas
sionately, II prayed for a girl, !

But it seems to me, Mollie, that
you have nothing at all to do about

myself that L would take it up again

Last week the opportunity came,
