OLD LOVE STUFF IL
RANED BY EuGFNi, :

Chicago. March l7.--''When you
propose to girl, don't say DO you
love me?' That's old stun. Ask her
VIII you be the mother of my child
rem ?"
This wac the advice given by Dr
Charles J., Kurtz. before the Y. NJ. c.
4. Other pointers on marriage OF
cred by DR. Kurtz were:
Don't wait until you are earning
$50 or s1OO a week Get married
even if the wife has TO help earn the
income
Every man ought to have wife
and be father by the time he is %
years old.
IF you want dancing girls-the
cabaret kind--go TO the cabarets. II
you want a girl who believes in
church and right living, seek that
sort OF society Learn what women
are like before you pick the individ-
ual girl Try TO meet her in her
home. Get acquainted with her
father, mother, sisters and brothers.
Avoid extremes i'm physical or
temperamental likeness. No. TWO
persons of extremely blonde or bru-
nette type. nervous or placid tenn
peraments should marry:
Extremes in difference in age,
wealth or education are no good.
when you are counting girl, {.
good motto Is, Hands of.
Unmarried and childless married
people are unhappy. Life without
children Is too monotOnOus.
There are too many rich, luxury
loving bachelors hanging around
with money 10 get married on.
Mature indicates sufficient
method of birth control. Let a mar
ried couple observe the simple laws
of nature and right-sized families
will result"
