Common-scnse Cures.-f.

COmmOn-SCnSe Cures.
Any doctor will tell you that one
of the strangest peculiarities of hu-
man nature is that he can never IN
duce his patients to try a common
sense remedy forA the ills that affilct
them.
People will take nauseous drugs
without even making face at then-
They will undergo dangerous and eN-
pensive operations. They will leave
their comfortable homes, and their
families, and go off to stay in hotels
and miserable boarding houses among
strangers in distant places, but when
a physician tries to get them 10 liVe
on plain and simple foods, and take
plenty of exercise, and stay out in the
open air. they simply refuse to follow
the prescription. Yet ninety times
out of hundred the common-sense
remedy would work a more effectual
cure than the drugs. or the opera
tions, OF the sanitarium.
This contempt for the common
sense cure is peculiarly characteristic
of women, who have a constitutional
dislike TO ever looking fact in the
face. and finding a practical remedy
for anything that Is wrong with them.
bodily or spiritually. They revel in
mystery and require to be relieved of
their troubles by some strange and
occult means, or to pass thru some
danger about which they can throw
veil of romance.
Hence the difficulty of ever help
I ing a woman. because there is nothing
mysterious the matter with most
women's lives that requires a miracle
worker to heal it. They have just
! little commonplace problems that need
/ little homemade remedies that you
simply can't force down the ladies'
Threats.
Take some of the complaints from
which women eternally suffer. and
about which they put up a never ceas-
ing moan.
There is the woman who has worn
herself to skin and bones over her
homework. She is haggard. and thin.
and nervous, and she tells you in one
breath that her work is killing her,
and in the next breath of the elabo-
rate dishes she cooks, and how her
house is run on a schedule that never
varies and that she serves every meal
as deliberately as if she kept retinue
of servants instead of being her own
maid of all work.
And there are the club women who
are nervous wrecks, hysterical and
emotional. with razor-edged tempers
and sharp tongues, who live with their
hats on and rush madly from club
meeting to club meeting, and commit
lee room 10 committee room until
they pull-up in a padded cell or
coffin.
The remedy for these women's i'll
health and nerves is simply to slow
down to second speed. But they won't
do it. There's no use telling the over
wrought housekeeper to cut out the
frills and get down to the simple life.
She would rather die than omit one
dolly or fail to sweep, and bake, and
scrub on their appointed days. Nor
is there any use in reminding the club
woman that charity begins at home
and takes in oneself, and that the one
person on earth whose ways and hab-
its need the most reforming are her
own.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am gr |
seventeen years old. l keep company
with a boy twenty-three years old.
My father won't let him come to the
house to see me. / love him very
much.
Father is cross to me all the tim =.
Would it be all right for me to run
away and marry the young man.
c.. J.
You must obey your father. Since
you are only seventeen, trust him to
know what is best for you.
You say that your father is always
cross to YOU Have you stopped to
think that you are contrary and un-
willing to do as he wishes? A year
or two more will add much to your
judgment and discretion. The fact
that you consider running away To
marry shows that you need to be
guided by your father.
To run away would bring you great
unhappiness. You would be brought
back with a ruined reputation.
Three Deceived: All of you must
lack pride. OF course 1t is all right
for the young man to have three girl
friends, but he should not make love
to all. You cheaper yourselves by
permitting it.

ference fail to arrive at a unanimous
decision, the matter would go to the
national industrial board, unless the
disputants preferred mutually chosen

One of the chief merits of the con-

is that it involves, necessarily, much
delay. All parties concerned would
have ample time to think it over. De-
lay makes for peace, in every sort of
controversy. This was recognized by
the trainers of the League of Nations
covenant and the same idea seems to
have been in the minds of the indus
