YOUNG GIRLS HAVE WRONG
IDEA BEFORE MARRIAGE.

No two people on earth can see
each other morning and night year
in and year out without getting on
each others nerves at times, no
matter how much they profess to
care for each other. That is why
marriage is not one continual
courtship. as we would like II 10 be.
Young girls OF the marriageable
age think to acquire husband
means freedom, pretty clothes. ana
plenty OF money to spend on things
that take their fancy. But on md
ing that home Is a room and kitch-
cnette and freedom wheeling the
baby in the afternoon after doing
a small wash and cleaning up. their
visions soon fade and the cares OF
life soon make themselves known.
Life becomes to the young couple
a daily grind. with a little pleasure
once in while. in place of the
wonderful married life OF which
they both dreamed. That Is why
there are so few happy marriages.
People go into marriage not rcaliz-
ing the responsibility. They wake
up in a short time, and thus the di-
vorce courts are kept busy.

To Cure Sore
Throat
BY Brice Belden, NJ. D.

~ UINSY sore throat differs from
I ordinary forms Of tonsilitis
in that the Inflammation Is
more deeply seated in the tonsil
and tends to form an abscess.
An attack of quinsy sore throat
may last from three to ten days
1t is not an uncommon disease.
While the apparent cause is ex-
posure to wet and cold its true
source is a chronic bacterial infec-
tion of the deeper tonsillar tissue,
or even of the spaces and struc-
lures underlying the tonsil
The abscess which forms in the
course of a quinsy sore throat is
therefore usually located under the
tonsil, and burrows its way toward
the roof Of the mouth. Inspection
usually reveals a bulgtng forward
of the tissues over the tonsil. This
swelling feels Doggy to the finger,
and finally presents an area softer
than the rest of the mass, through
which spontaneous rupture Of the
tDsCtSS taxes pldCe, OF
which the surgeon makes an in
cision-
rne apparent association between
quinsy and rheumatism simply
means that the same organisms
which give rise to the local dis
turbance in tonsilitis also play a
part in the infection OF the joints
(arthritis), known as rheumatism.
In both cases the initial infection
may be in or about the teeth.
The symptoms of Quinsy are
chilliness and feverishness. in
creasing pain and soreness on
swallowing, and finally almost
complete inability to swallow. by
which time either nature or the sur
geon takes a hand in the way of
relief.

the fraction OF an inch, while the

But with the discharge Of the the
abscess pain Is relieved and the
patient rapidly recoverys.

tions made to his Leck until the

be liquid or soft and nourishing.
Tonsils subject to quinsy should
be removed.

riNDS II SUSSEoS.
Marriage is a system instituted
by the great Architect OF the Uni
verse and with everything created
pronounced good. To question It's
success is TO question the wisdom
OF the author.
Husband and wife are so closely
associated one-third OF each day
that mutual magnetic influences
tend to harmonic any differences
in temperament and disposition and
10 really make them one In thought
and purpose in everything that per-
tains TO each others happiness and
daily lives.
Man and woman are so wonder
fully adapted for each other that
they may regularly enjoy such
thrills OF exquisite pleasure and
exaltation OF mind as is Impossible
to describe and which greatly over
balance the petty troubles that may
arise between them.
Marriage thereby Is elevated
above the earth to the sublime
realm OF the inhnite and becomes
the agency OF the Almighty Ruler
OF all things in heaven and earth
for continuing the creation OF beings
for useful lives here and immortal
ity hereafter.
Occasionally a tree IL a blot on

find a man so gnarled. twisted or

WOMAN ON THE BENCH. BY Grace
Irene Rohieder. Washington: Fairviev
Publishing Company.
This pamphlet contains moro
matter for sober thought than
many a book with as many chap
ters as It contains pages. The
author has gone deeply into the
whole subject concerning tho place
woman has heretofore occupied in
affairs of government, explains the
reason for her limited participation,
and shows just why this state OF
affairs is even more unjust at pres
ent than in the past.
The frst chapters are devoted to
an exposition OF tho theory OF rep
resentative government and to the
organization OF courts, all largely
run by men under laws made by
men. and from the viewpoint OF men
exciusively. She goes on to show
that there are many cases tried In
the courts where the presence OF
women as court officers would be
an invaluable means to the ends of
justice. Several instances are enum-
Grated in support OF this point.
The nnal chapters are taken up
In an analysis OF the effect upon
American women OF tho changed at
titude toward them OF our men who
served overseas and came in con-
tact with social organizations vastly

points To the necessity for meeting

MARRIAGE Is A SUCCESS.
1T IS DIvINELY ORDAINED.

Marriage is success, because
true marriage is made in heaven.
The comparatively few couples in
this country who seek release from
each other in the divorce courts
merely emphasize the courage and
devotion to flial duty shown by
millions of husbands and wives who
remain together until death does
them part, according to the mar
riage vow. The home is Gods mos t
sacred institution. The family is
the fundamental unit of government
on earth and Gods own method of
populating the world with men and
women created in His image and
likeness. Surely such a divine in
stitution can never be failure
Mans chief end here is to attain
perfection by more closely follow
ing the example and methods of our
Savior, Jesus of Nazareth. The his
tory of the human race for thou
sands of years Is one grand prog
ress toward mental and physical.
and. therefore. spiritual. perfection
BY creating our first parents and
forming a family. God placed divine
approval on marriage. with rare
exceptions. its .urpose is success
fully carried out. As Gods uni
verse Is self-governed through eter-
nal laws, so man Is learning to con-
troll himself through the marriage
relation.
While tho foregoing statements
are true. there appears to be much
inharmony between husbands and
wives and, sad to say, their chill
dren. This, however, Is not true,
being appearance only. a surface in
dication. the real affection being
shown when death enters tho homo
or serious trouble comes. The Book
says: Judge not from appearances.
for Appearances are deceitful."
The truth Is. the average husband
and wife have a deep devotion and
love for each other, more sincere
than any other feeling. as this en-
dures to the end despite the trials
of a lifetime. The start In married
life Ia made with tho enthusiasm
born of youths idealism. health, de-
sire and determination to succeed
In far too many cases this wonder
full mental and spiritual equipment
seems to be lost sight Of in the mat
ter-of-fact struggle for the material
things OF life-the expensive home,
fine clothes, accumyfation OF money,
etc. in the mad r6ce to equal or ex-
eel others. Forgetting God-self-
ishness-then, is the chief sin. for
does not the Book say: Seek ye
first the kingdom OF God and His
righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you"
Every true marriage Is a Union OF
two souls. Any apparent failure is
due to selfshness or separateness
in purposes and plans. In divorce
the devil wins, as their divergence
in thoughts. words and ways seems
to make necessary their physical
separation. Increasing years give a
belief in advancing age, which ar
CUES lessened health, strength and
usually patience. loss of enthusiasm.
loss OF confidence in each other.
The reason for the distressing in
harmony seen in too many homes,
although true love dwells there, is
seeing evil in the other partner and
speaking thoughts which seem in
later years to be manifest in the
other loved one in that home.
Let husbands and-wives see only
good in each other and their chill
dren, as they do in their dear friends
and their friends see in them, and
