Sometimes a man IL almost as care

tellectual and social equal, ms he would
be in choosing q friend.
Some men are so cautious that. while
they are soaring to heaven on the wings
of love. they are carefully gripping q
parachute.
All alimony should he classed as
excess profits" why on earth should
Il woman nc paid for being happy?
/ Women are like poetry. any man
thinks infinitely more Of them when
he doesn't know exactly what they

Most women look forward to mar
riage as perfected happiness, whereas

you a love letter containing a thou

the COMMUNITIES HEALTH.

We can think of no more inn
portant duty al this time than to
use every prccaution against the
spread of epidemic diseases. This
IS the season when the germs do
their worst. We live shut-in
lives and do not breathe enough
fresh air which is the greatest
foe to winter cpidcmics.
The avoidance of contagious
diseases like scarlet fever which
has caused many deaths, much
suffering and loss Of time and
energy that cannot be fixed IN
some Of our sister cities Of Mon
tana is largely in the hands OF
the health authorities, as is also
the whooping cough. The dan
ger az contagion in pneumonia IS
so slight, that the prevention IS
in our own hands to great 'x-
tent. Exercise. deep breathing
in the open air. nourlshlng 1000,
regular habits and the avoidance
of stimulantS. are altogether the
best methods Of resistance To the
germs of pneumonia.
There is, we believe an ordh-
nance requiring that children al
fllcted with whooplng cough must
wear tags, keep away from enter
tainments and crowds and street
cars. We wonder whether tins
ordinance is being fully enforced.
We have often observed sounds
IN the thcaters that resemble
whooping cough, and we have
been informed that children ai-
flicted with whooping cough are
not always tagged. The commu-
nifty will be better protected II
all citizens who observe lnlrac-
ton of this law will make com
plaint to the health bureau.
Whooping cough IS serious
disease. Sometimes 1t causes
death, but always it wears down
The cmld's strength and leaves a
way open to death from some
other disease.
