ADVICE FROM
HAPPY MARRIED MAN.

After many years of observation
and decade of experience. i am
thoroughly convinced that marriage
Is huge success, and for the prin-
cipal reason that, to date, no worth
while substitute exists.
Marriage is a success because 1t
involves a system of checks and
balances. 1t prescribes penalties.
and. at the same time, awards i'm
munities. Privilege and restriction
alike hold sway.
Marriage is a success because II
offers a permanent solution Of the
two real problems Of life-the prob
lem of sex and the problem of prop
erty. 1t Is the medium of material
progress and of spiritual and social
intercourse between the majority of
normal persons in every civilized
community.
Marriage is success because it
was elevated to it's present sacred
dignity by Him who hath done all
things well. For this cause" still
retains it's magic charm to those
who render strict obedience to the
laws of nature and of natures God.
Marriage is a success because it
presupposes the establishment of
home-the foundation of society,

The Hygiene
of Marriage
Rv Rrice Re1don NJ n
By Brice Belden, N. D.
TIE laws of hygiene as pertain

I'VE laws of hygiene as pertain
ing to marriage are for the
greater part those which tend
toward the production of healthy
children through care OF the gen
eral health of the parents. Both
parents should have good constitu-
tions IL they wish to have children
able to resist disease, and the best
way to accomplish the production
of fne, healthy babies is to follow
Natures laws as rigidly as possible.
Many children who are appar-
emily vigorous may really have very
little resistance. This is because
the parents, who may have been
constitutionally healthy, have been
weakened by unhygienic living.
which means that they have suf-
fered from some chronic disease or
have INDUCED in some mental or
physical excess. Another very i'm
portant influence upon the health OF
children is the age at which the
parents marry, and where the
mother and father are very young
the nrst children are not so likely
to be of as fne a type as those Of
somewhat older persons.
RESEMBLANCE TO PARENTS.
In regard to resemblance to
parents, there are certain character
istics which are more likely to fol-
low the father such as the features,
the shape of the head and the gem
eral constitution. Those features
which are most apt to be trans
mitted by the mother are the shape
of the body and the formation OF
the internal organs, while the
character and mental qualities may
be influenced by either parent or both.
IPre-natal hygiene often has con-
siderable effect In benefiting the
coming infant. The conditions
under which the mother lives and
her habits have a marked influence
on the child. although probably not
to the eStravagant degree credited
TO these prenatal factors by
popular superstition.
What may appear to be n direct
and actual Inheritance OF n disease
may be only the production OF the
disease in that person by the same
agents. environments and morbid
conditions that caused the disease
in the parents. Abnormal condi-
tions so caused are not, obviously,
truly hereditary. This Is psrtlcu-
larly true OF tuberculosis.

HAPPY WIFE GIVES
RULES FOR HAPPINESS.

Marriage can be made happy and
long lasting.
With a few warning points from
a wife who has been married happy
for over ten years:
First = Young married couples
should live by themselves, II 1t is in
only one room. but by all means 80
to see one anothers people.
Second-To put trust in one an
other. .
Third-Make very few friends,
and. above all, have very few COM
ing to your home, as this Is the
main point where so many mar
riages and homes are broken up
and made unhappy.
Fourth-Let the man and woman
be happy and contented with one
another, to try and study each
other, their ways and likes.
Fifth-Never make II rule to
borrow. If you have but little to
live on, make it last you.
And, above all, never tell your
married troubles to any one, not
your people nor his people, not even
to your friend, but try to smile and
be happy and keep the world guess
ing. no matter what 1t costs you.
This may do some one some good.

to be happy wife. M. c.

Hints For The
Household

The flavor Of currents and sui
tans which are to be used for cakes
can very easily be improved. Place
them in a bowl, pour boiling water
over them, and leave to soak all
night. The fruit swells to twice it's
former size. but should be drained
from the water, and dried in the
oven before being added to the
other ingredients.
To make a cheap eiderdown for
babys cot is not at all difficult
Buy one yard and n half OF lowered
or plain sateen, one pound of vege-
table down. Cut the sateen the
size required, and on one half place
evenly the down. turn over the
other side of the sateen and tack
all evenly over. Stitch by machine
the pattern required. This makes
a beautiful little quilt at very
small cost, and is equal to the real
eIderdown, both with regard to
warmth and lightness.
