A BEAUTIFUL
MARRIED LIFE.

have been married twice and
am not yet forty. When I mar
ried the first time love was as fresh
as the dewdrops that lay on the
grass at milking time in the
morning. dreams a. roseate as the
glory that flooded the eastern hills
as the cows were. walking down
the lane. One day we sat by the
trout brook tossing pebbles idly
into the water. almost hidden by
the tall grass that lowered around
US. Laughingly. he pulled this in
from the sides and tied our hands
together with the string bands. At
length I cut the grass on each side
Of the knot and sprang away from
him, but l still keep, after several
years. the knot and the memory Of
the hands that tied 1t. Thus did he
tie my life to his own and weave
himself into my heart
The exquisite bliss Of our early
married life and the perfect con-
but once in a lifetime. Our one
chamber set was imitation cherry.
but it was far more beautiful then
in our eyes than our rosewood and
mahogany have been since. We
had only seven rooms. but we
took more pleasure In furnishing
them than a millionaire takes in
furnishing his palace. And when
everything was in place, how cozy
the nest was!
What times we had Together,

heaven will hold no more sacred Joy
than that moment when 1 told hin
that we were not to be much longer
alone. But when the momentous
hour came he nearly lost me.
What a relief when the doctor told
him 1 would live! How he loved
our baby. and how the baby loved
him! To our son he was an ideal
father. as to me he was an ideal
husband, and 1t was years after
he died of typhoid before anyone
could take his place.
The world has not always been
kind to me, because my second
marriage was not q success, be-
cause Of strong drink.

The divinely appointed sacrament

mony. Is always a success when re-
cognzed and entered into In accord
ance with tho spirit in which 1t was
instituted By It's divine founder
That which most of your cores
pondcnts refer to as marriage" is
simply a contract founded on mere
animal attraction and legahzed by
the State.
That this contract In not and
never will be a success, even In Its
lowest material sense. while laws
permitting divorce and re-marriage
during the lifetime of either one OF
tho contracting parties exist, must
be appanent to all who are not
superficial thinkers, and the
reason has been very clearly anC
logically stated by two great chris
tian mon. now dead. Permit me to
quote them:

BE HONEST AND TRUTHFUL
Is BEST POLICY.

Marriage will prove a SUCCESS II
husband and wife will be honest
with each other. The trouble with
many families is started while they
are courting. The tendency of man
is to brag and he tries to make his
fance believe he is worth more than
he is; he tells her of his houses and
lands, his stocks and bonds, etc.
After they are married she hnds he
has deceived her; that he was not
honest with her. II he has a house
she finds IL is mortgaged for all II
is worth; IL he has stocks she finds
IL is oil stock and Is worthless: In
other words he was not honest with
her.

u. 8. Official Public Health Series.

Due largely to the revelations Of
the x-ray, supplemented by careful
examination by physicians and bAc-

Of the teeth and mouth are respon-

fectious diseases. whose origin, un-
til recently. was very obscure
The more important OF these con-
ditions are diseases OF the heart and
arteries. infections OF the blood. and
infectious diseases of the joints.
All modern up-to-date dentists
now make use Of x-ray pictures
whenever they suspect any trouble
with the roots or the teeth Not
only the dentist. but the physician
as well, has been astontshed at
what these pictures have revealed
to him.
OFTEN they show that pus fs pres
