to marry him and is refused. We
expect such a man to face his Ill

nunciation MEANS"
"And you would permit the wife
to leave her husband, or the hus-
band to leave his wife when
either grew tired Of the other or
fancied someone else?"
Most assuredly," Philip an
swered. "Just because husband
and wife possessed this right to
terminate the bond, it would tend
to prolong it. Each would be in
finitely more considerable Of the
other. Marriage is cloak which
permits all sorts of vulgarity and
RIGHTEOUSNESS to go on beneath its
folds"
eff that is true" said the
clergyman, sit is a grievous and
a pitiable state Ok affairs. But
unfortunate as it is, it has no
bearing upon the question OF re-
marriage"

H-HEWN

Had she ever felt safe before7
She leaned on his arm like q
convalescent. She walked off be-
side him quietly. into her own
life.
The walk back to the city walls
was full of a comforting, silent
sense Of each others presence as
though they had lived their lives
together.
Once in a while they spoke
together as simply and naturally
as children, of small, everyday
things, of little changes he would
need to make in his house, an old
cistern to be drained and filled in,
the half-rotten maple which dark
ened the livingroom cut down
to let the sunlight in.
In one of the quiet silences, full
to the brim with their nearness
to each other, Neale remembered
what he had meant to do with
this afternoon, what he had so
self-conscientiously planned to
say. The thought made him
abashed and humble. How infi-
nitely deeper life was than you
could ever know till you begin to
live. He had though he loved
Marise as much as a man could
love a woman. He saw that he
had only begun to guess what
love could be, that it is a tie be-
tween two struggling human be-
ings, as well as between a man
and a woman, and that it is not
to be had without effort and
growth. It was something that
would take all there was in him
to live up to.
AS he walked beside her, he was
defeating all there was in him
to loving her.
She was tired, heavenly tired,
when she reached her room that
late afternoon. She had not been
tired like that since she was a
little girl relaxed, abandoned be-
fore the soft-footed advance to
sleep. She could scarcely think
coherently enough to remember
to send word that she would not
appear at dinner, before she was
undressed and in her bed.

4 FEW years ago there came

reports Of many cases Of a
disease that was then compare

The victims were reported to
have disturbances Of general dis
comfort, nervousness, mental ir-
ritability, sleeplessness, lasting
through the winter.
This il followed in the spring
by dyspepsia, diarrhea, often
dysentery with blood in the pas

summer.

and there is serious pain up and

The next year brings repe-

patient all the time growing
worse.
The case may go on for from
two to ten years.
The victim may then become
insane and die from exhaustion.

the brain and spinal cord, and

It was the dreadful pellagra

centuries In Egypt, Southern

Clearly the disease was one Of
nutrition.
It was necessary. therefore, to
investigate the habitual diet Of %
many cases as possible.
It was found that the disease
was restricted to the poorer
classes, who lived In neglected
habitations, with little or no atten-.
ton to personal hygiene and upon
q diet that was restricted largely
to pork and corn, with practically
few IL any etablesnot even
potatoes In many families
alcohol In the form Of moonshine
made from corn was consumed In
considerable quantities.
Medical writer's inferred from
this that there was some special
poison present in the corn Of that
locality and In the alcohol dis
titled from 1t that was responsible
for the disease.
But DR.. Goldberger conducted q
number Of experiments by which
he was able to produce the disease
by diets that were deficient in
vitamines and to cure It BY diets
that were rich ii vitamines.
Thus was another law Of science
revealed, natural law that
points the way to the elimination
OF another dreadful disease.
Feed these people with . high
vitamine diet.
But It must not be forgotten that
unsanitary housing and detective
personal hygiene are factors IN
lowering vitality and consequently
the power Of resistance to any
disease-producing agency.

suddenly, she checked herself.
