been the number of accidents directly

eeond Artiole--5rains!


Second Artiole--BrainsI
The time has gone by. II 1t ever
existed, when women could attract
and hold men by mere physical
beauty.
Men require more than physical
attractiveness In the women they
marry. The woman with brains has
the best chance OF making a happy
marriage. I do not say that beauty
and charm will not be valuable to
her, but brains are indispensable.
For In a mans mere physical love
there are but two seasons--summer
and winter-and no one knows how
soon the one will pass into the other.
But the woman who has something
more than mere physical attractive
ness has a hold on her husband that
he cannot deny.
Look about you and see the women
who are successful wives. Are they
the ravishing beauties of your ac-
quaintance? OF course not. Most
of the successful wives you know are
rather plain women. OF II they are
pretty or attractive. their beauty is
merely an added asset, not the prin-
cipal upon which they bank in hold
ing husbands love.
II Is my observation tnat the nus
bands of plain women are usually
more devoted than the husbands of
beautiful women. A woman who can
discuss things intelligently with a
man makes a far more interesting
companion than the giggling simple
ton of girl who has nothing but
pretty face.
Who wants to be tied for life to
woman whose highest thought CEN
tiers upon her rouge pot and powder
puff?
Men are frequently attracted, but
they are never held, by the merely
pretty face or figure. It Is the woman
who has brains that really supplies
what man wants and needs in a
wife.

Full Weight and
Measure Cut High
Cost of Living
(By Biddy Bye.)


In cutting the high cost OF living one
OF the important points that the con-
sumner must insist upon with food, fuel
and textile merchants Is fair system
of weights and measures.
The United states Bureau OF Stand
ards has established certain standards
of weight, measurement. time, etc, by
which all other measures are guaged
and corrected. In addition each state
determines for itself certain regulations
OF weights and measures to govern the
sale of articles within state boundaries.
Each housewife should familiarize her
self with the regulations in her own
state, should supply herself with re-
liable scale for Weighing purchases, and
then keep a careful eye upon her pur-
chases to see that dealers are conforms
ing to state laws.
Laws differ in each state, but the
standards adopted in Chicago are fairly
typical. For instance there Is stand-
ard for bread to which all bakers must
conform. A lightweight loaf should be
reported at once to the local department
OF weights and measures, or to the
state department that the consumer
may be protected against short weights
In Chicago a ne-pound loaf is the
standard. Each loaf must have affixed
to 1t a label. ore inch square, stating
the weight OF the loaf and the name
OF the baker or manufacturer. Those
SolllnK DTtdu must welsh IL III ehV Phps-
ence OF the purchaser II requested TO
| do so.
The standards for milk and cream
| require that the cover or cap OF every
| bottle must bear in indelible letters the
| name OF the person or firm bottling the
milk and must be marked with the
| bottles exact capacity.
Persons or firms selling ice must sell
| It by avoirdupois weight. and II must
| be weighed at the time of delivery by
| the delivery man on scales adjusted and
| sealed by the inspector OF weights and
measures.
| For fuel, the driver or delivery man
| must be provided with ticket bearing
/ the name OF the seller OF the fuel. and
| marked with the net weight OF the fuel
| ordered by the purchaser. n the buyer
SO demands, the fuel must be reweighed

by the city inspector of weights and

cruelty. But when the case came UP
before the county probation commit
tee, which looks into things of this
| sort in that part of the state, the
little girl went on the stand and tes-
titled that she deserved the whip
ping.
The father and mother testified
that the child was hysterical-that' s
all.
And nobody did anything about
anything.
How could they, under the circum ?
stances?
Probably there wasn't anything to
do. But l keep wondering about hys-
terra and children who are whipped
and parents who do the whipping.
Is whipping one of the recognized
treatments for hysteria, l wonder ?
have never heard regular prac-
ticing physician say that he thought
1t was-and isn't hysteria Just form
OF nervous arrangement of some
sort?
Nerves are strange things. They
play the oldest kind of tricks, and the
queerest thing they do Is to make
people believe that they don't really
amount to very much.
