Some intelligent men marry So
called frivolous wives" because
they want to ste7 thinking oc-

Some lives have been made mis-

married highly intelligent wife
and the intelligent wife wanted oc-

talking about herself instead of

In other words, If the phiIan-

blunder." Napoleon's remark may
be taken to heart before long by
the so-called radicals that delib-

soldiers. Many more than ninety
million people in this country mean
to have order and peace during
the reconstruction period now be-
ginning. And they will have
peace, If they have to do some dis
agreeable things to get it.
Two new things. England could
use airships in place Of the ordi-

has the airships, consumptives
need very fresh air. They can be
taken up FIVE thousand feet to
