think if you read the life OF Alice
Freeman Palmer you will get
many suggestions toward fighting
yeur own way, overcoming self
consciousness, and making friends
Dear Mrs. Thomps,M I am 10
years old and have been married
one year and have not been happy
one day since we we're married.
My husband works every day and
90 do l. As soon as hehas had his
supper he goes out and hangs
around restaurants with single
men, and if l ever ask HIN TO take
me out he never gives me an an
swer. He expects me TO stay at
home all The time and il is so lone
some. If I go out with girl friend
he has me watched.
He doesn't support me and he
expects me to give up all my mon
ey to him when I draw my pay.
He has never given me Il cent to
live on since we have been mar
ried and when I ask him for mon
ey to pay little bin with he says
he hasn't any.
Ha is mean to ME and beats me
and tears up my clothes go / can't
go anywhere. Then he claims that
cannot have him arrested for do
ing these things.
He hasn't any reason to be so
mean because l try to do what is
right. He tells me to get out for
he doesn't want to see me. I have
just decided I am going to leave
What would you advise me TO do7
I have no children.
UNHAPPY WIFE.
Leave the man by all means, and
divorce him so that he will have no
claim on you. II is ridiculous for
him to take the money you earn;
instead he ought TO support you
without working. Since you have
no children to consider and since
your husband is abusive and un-
fair, I do not believe you should
hesitate one moment about getting
a divorce.

The Danger of Being Alive az
The Second Main Cause OF Ill Health

The Danger of Being Alive a.
The Second Main Cause OF Ill Health
The first main cause of i'll health
in this country is health ignorance,
for which we have to thank our
above-the-neck educational system.
On this almost universal health ig-
porance depends the equally uni
/ Versal credulity or gullibility OF
the American people, who spent
last year no less than $500 900, 900
for drugs. of which no less than
S3,5O0.00o was spent for drugs which
no reputable physician prescribed
The second main cause of i'll
health-and remember that as a
nation we are scarcely so per cent
efficient. Remember that no less
. than 35 per cent of the first 3.200,-
600 of our young men, the pick and
cream Of our manhood, were found
unit for active military service by
the various examining boards-the
second great factor of popular i'll
health is our national stinkiness IN
appropriating funds for health pro-
lection. Now I do not refer to the
notorious parsimony of American
municipal communities in providing
public health protection. l refer
to individual niggardliness. Peo-
pie who do not object to paying $50
for a suit of clothes two or three
times a year, although one suit
should suffice, will resort TO almost
any alternative rather than spend
even $40 in a year for Individual
health service such as nobody but
the educated family doctor is in a
position to furnish today. And
what is the alternative? A big
gamble.
The United States Public Health
Service estimates that If the money
needlessly and unwiseIy squandered
on dope for Standardization in one
year in this country were saved
and equitably divided it would give
every legally licensed and regular
ly educated physician in the coun-
try and additional income of $4,000.
But it would DO more than that. It
would make lot less work for
physicians to do. since self-medica-
ton is accountable for a great deal
of i'll health. And that might not
be advisable doctor with legs
work to do and more money to
spend might get into a lot of
trouble. Perhaps the gambling
should not be stopped. after all

ways. Since your classmates
know that you are annoyed by
their laughter, they take special
delight in teasing you. This is the
case whether the victim is rich or
poor. Probably If you had plenty
of money you would feel less self
conscious and would not hesitate
to EXPRESS Yourself
Do not let the question Of money
embitter you and spoil your life.

can grow out of its environment
into happier and better conditions.
Your father is helping you to grow
out by giving you a chance to get
an education. Appreciate his help
SO much that you will stick to your
school and acquire knowledge.
Service is a cure for self-con-
seriousness. Instead of feeling I'M
happy yourself, look around for
opportunities to help others.

Brad'sBit O. Verse
Dead Ones.

The dead leaves thickly strew the
ground. And pray, where else
should they be found? They might
still clutter up the trees, declaring
with a cackly wheeze that they're
as much alive right now as when
the green was on the bough. But
leaves are wise. When they go
dead they nutter to their forest bed
and give the coming leaves a
chance to fashion fate and circum-
stance. If they were human, they
would stick although too dead to
make a kick; to their old perch
they'd grimIy cling and block the
new leaves in the spring: they'd
hang around for weary years and
clog up natures running gears. II
leaves were like some folks /
know, they'd be reluctant to let go
and give the husky live ones room
to stir around and start a boom.
The dead ones in the good old town
get hold Of things. and won't come
down. They stand around and
block the road and pull back on
the heavy load and keep the old
town in the rear with fogy notions
dry and sere. The leaves, when
through, come falling down; but
dead opinions, withered. brown
seem prone to stay and take up
space and hamper live ones in the
chase. GLEN BRADSHAW.
