AS TO MEN AND HUSBANDS
According to This Writer There Is a
Subtle Distinction Between
the Two Species.

Immediately after the wedding cere-
mony men become dull and uninterest-
ing and turn into husbands, says a
writer in Judge. Husbands are all
just alike and al be sorted out of any
social gathering by the same set ex-
preston about the eyes and mouth.
1t is more trouble to teach a hus-
band to fetch and carry than a fox
terrier puppy, and as a rule the puppy
acts much better when there is com
pany around. Husbands wait until
some Sunday morning when you have
distinguished guests with you for the
week end. They burrow in the back
of the closet and pull things off the
high shelves and go through the rag
bag. Then they appear at II break
fast table in the coat of n suit, the
trousers of another and a fancy vest,
with an inch-wide tie tied in a fourth
hand as a finish.
And when you advertise your hor-
ror in a frantic effort to convince the
visitors that he is suffering from EN-.
porary alteration any and every hus
band will assume an air of bewildered
innocence and say
why, what's the matter with this

this until he is married. His mothe
will not let him.
Husbands read to you the printed
recipes they find on the woman's pag'
of the paper. They get enthusiastic
about some dish they have always de
clared they would rather die thai ca
and say:
Now, there's an idea for you. VIII.
can't we ever have something lik'
that?"

Ones Own Interests.

The woman no longer young who is
earning her livelihood should make II
a point to save a certain portion of
her salary weekly. no matter how small
It may be. Systematic saving leads
to habits of thrift and gives the per
son dependent upon her w efforts a
feeling of security. Furthermore. the
woman past her first youth will do
well to pass by many dress fads of
the hour. Fashion is as waverihg and
as ~changeable as an April day. and
the woman who must toll on alone
will assuredly serve her best interests
by clinglng to quiet, conservative ef-

The Comeback man was really never
down-and-out. His weakened condition
because Of overwork, lack of exercise, i'm.

a man on his feet before he knows it;

Weekly Health Talks
The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, NJ. D.

You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side IN the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get a flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-formlng
drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something hat helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases, He learned 1t all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache, weakening drains, bearing.doW9
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
Examinations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
sd remedy know that in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting a
safe woman's tonic so good that druggists
everywhere sell it. >
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in Americo
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cotic. DIR. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.

"A CENTS PER GALLON
FOR milk TO RETAILER
Producers Make Recommendation
at Conference Held With
Health Officer Fowler.

Fortyfour cents per gallon to the
retailer for milk is the price recon-
mended by the milk producers of
Maryland and Virginia in the confer
ence now being held in the District
building with Health officer Fowler.
DR.. Fowler will try to have the price
set at 40 cents per gallon, but pro-
ducers say that they cannot possibly
sell at that price.
Producers claim that the Accent
price will enable the retailer to sell
at II cents per quart and still make
So per cent profit. They also say
that the high cost of labor and feed
is responsible for the. increased price,
giving the cost of cotton seed meal,
the basis of all cattle feed. at $40 per
ton. while last year it was only $50.
and the increase in the cost of LABOR
as 25 per cent
Fodty-four and four-tenths cents
per gallon as cost of production was
given by the producers at the last
meeting of the association, but forty
four cents was the price decided upon.
Lengthy statements were submit
ted by DIR. Fowler today to show the
various increases in the cost of pro-
duction. A majority of the produc-
erS. it was stated, found that the cost
per gallon ran in the neighborhood
of forty-six cents.
At meeting of the association,
six members composing the commit
tee, of which DR.. Harvey Wiley is
chairman, made out separate state
ments of the cost to produce milk on
their farms, and when submitted 1t
was found that the lowest and high
est did not vary more than one cent.
