HAPLESS MARRIAGE BUILDS
 WIPES FAITH IN OCCULT

Tit is the worst thing in the world to be absorbed by a man. The average married woman has no interests out side her husband's-not after he slips his ring of bondage over her finger.''
 The young lady philosopher-shei is only twenty-four-paus moment, She s1noothed a fa1d of her Nile-greeB velvet skirt which was topped off by a black lace waist as I3lny as a cloud over CoptIc moons. She raised pair of dark, suItry eyes that took on a mocking expression as she discussed the details of her unhappy married life.

 :'It is a fatefuI experience. No mat ter how unhappy the union it brings a balance to life. Therefore I never advise anyone concerning a marriage.
 Hove is an illusion of the mind, a wonderful scheme of the Creator to balance humanity. Love is the glue that binds up the world. Where there is no love there is no holding to- gether.

IMPORTS ANT BEARS
 TO KILL PARASITES

Yakima, Wash, Aug. 24.-Experi- ments are being made here by fruit and vegetable growers with the ant bear, whose natural home is in the central portion of South America, as a means of destroying grasshoppers, melon bugs and aphis, which are a pest in Northwestern states.
 Edward J. Hiner secured three of the animals, two females and one male, from the government expert mental station in the City of Mexico, and they are rapidly becoming accli- mated and fattening on the insect diet
 The ant bear destroys potato bugs, locusts and other injurious insects with great avidity, seemingly eating all the while. Unlike its Northern cousin, the ant bear does not hiber- nate in the winter, and as there are fewer insects during the cold season, Hiner has taught the bears to sleep in his greenhouses, and while in that seni-tropica1 temperature they can keep down the insects that endanger the winter culture of tender plants
 Ant bears of this species are about the size of a spaniel dog and possess long stiff hairy coats of fur. The peculiar shaped head comes to a sharp point, from which a long red tongue issues. the insects sticking to the secretion covering it. By wrap ping the slender tongue about the stem of an infested tree the aphts are scooped off by hundreds.

 New York Aug. 24-LotS Of strange things go on under the light and dark moons of Isis.
 Take, for instance, the way Ed Small has been acting up toward his wife, Miss Laurel Miller, as she calls herself, who is suing him for a sepa- ration.
 Miss Laurel is an addict OF the oe- cult. Her grossly m tterlal husband IS only booking agent on Broadway. If he never basked in tle rays or Isis, that's only fair enough How could he see light and dark moons when dazzled by the so much nearer bulbs of the Big Lane-BroadWay!
 To Miss Laurel Miller, Ideallst, oc- cult scientist and erstNhile editor of the Worlds Journal Of PnIosophy, the exigencies of life are pniy step ping-stones to higher things:
 The moons-Hght and dark-of Isis are nothing, somehow, in Edward SmaITs life. His wife says-1t is to shudder that the women who pass be- fore him day by day are to h1m as poor bundles of beef, pr perhaps light and dark meat-but on to the story.

WOMEN WHO OVERWORK

Man may work from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done" In order to keep the home neat and at traetive, the children well dressed and tidy, women continually overdo and suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they need help to overcome the pains and aches which daily make life a burden. Lydia D. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound is a medicine with specific valne which overcomes many of the worst forms of female com plaints, as the letters constantly be- ing published in this paper will prove.
