AS We grow ever softer and more
effeminate softening Injuries hold
for us q stronger appeal. Status
tics Of morbidity and mortailty
rates in We olden times are ratner
sketchy, and the recollection OF
grandpa about such matters Is no.
toriously romantic. vet there Is no
reason to believe that respiratory
troubles were more common, II
they were as common, in 1870, than
they are in 1920.
A dwelling heated with an ordi-
nary wood OF coal stove is as n.y.
CHEMICALLY heated as an apartment
equipped with a hot water or
steam radiator. The principle OF
the heating is the same in either
case. The stove has one import
ant advantage over the radiator; II
must be connected with fiue and
the draft produces some ventilation
of the room if the room is not her
metically sealed.
Steam or hot water radiators, un-
fortunately, do warm the air OF
apartments even if ventilation is
inadequate. Hot air furnaces do
not work satisfactorily unless
ventilation is fairly efficient.
The air inlet of the hot air fur
mace should be from the outside,
never from the cellar or, worse
still, from a room of the house.
The largest possible volume of out
side air should be admitted through
the air inlet, consistent with COM
fort. An air outlet should be pro-
vided near the roof. A hot air fur
mace register which belches forth
scorching blast is wholly unhy-
gienic; it means that insufficient
cold air is being admitted through
the air inlet.
The registers should give forth
warm air, not hot air. The tenn
perature of the room thus warmed
should be temperate, not torrid
From 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit
may be considered a hygienic tenn
perature; higher temperature
than this is depressing and un-
wholesome. Elderly and enfeebled
individuals imagine they need more
heat: they do, but not from the at
mosphere they breathe. Their body
warmth should be maintained by
additional clothing, though it is
fwell to remember that the less
clothing one wears at any time
consistent with physical health
the better for health.
The hot air furnace does dry oul
the air, but not more than the radi'
ator does. II the apartment is con-
stantly overheated, it is practical.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
married woman q years old and
have been married six years. My
husband is good provider, but he
gets SO angry and says all manner
of mean things to me. He says
am crazy and ought to be sent to the
insane ssylum.
There is man 1 know who
thinks a lot OF me and I think a lot
of him. He wants me to marry
him if l getsa divorce. Do you
think ought to get divorce from
my husband and marry this man?
UNDECIDED.
You ought to find some way to be
happy with your husband. The
other man may be good lover. but
ninety-nine chances out of 4 hun
dred he would make g. very poor
husband if he married you at all.
The type of man who makes love
to a married woman cannot be
trusted. He promises marriage aft
er divorce, but unless he is an ex-
ception, never fulfills his promise.
"Het gets So angry" you, say.
Couldn't you avoid much that irri-
tates him? The fact that he is a
good provider makes me think that
he cares for you and would make
a good husband if you used tact
Most women would prefer the wild:

a pout and silent crouch.

JEFFERSON COUNTY WINS FIRST PRIZE IN
 PAGEANT CONTEST

Jefferson county won the first prize in the pageant contest held at the Florence Normal School. This information was received in Birmingham by pr. N. k. Baker. county superintendent of educa- tion
 Practically every county in the state participated in this contest, and Jeffer- son county should be proud of the record made by the teachers attending the sum- mer school there, states Dr. Baker.
 In speaking of this contest Miss Mabel White, who has been specializing in do- nestle arts at the Florence Normal School, said: As there were only ten representatives of Jefferson county in sch ool this summer at Florence. we had little idea of winning the prize. How ever. we put our heads together and de- cided that our pageant would represent the greatest need of Alabama, which is trained teachers. The scenes were only to be of three minutes duration, and we designed attractive posters to be used in the presentation of our scene. We re- ceived much applause and were awarded the first prize"
 The Jefferson county teachers attend- ing this school were: MT. and Mrs. N H Price, Mrs. E. B. Erwin, Miss Lula Pearson Miss Leila Ebron Miss Rose Lewis and Miss Virginia Kelso of Bir- min gham; Miss Lorraine Christlieb. Miss Mabel White and Miss Elizabeth Barron of Bessemer.
