Stopping Profanity

My Dear Miss Lee: I read the man.
answer about poolrooms. recently; IN TACT,
read both mems letters. Now l would IKE
to know how to keep my husband from
using profane language. I love him dearly
but I cannot stand such talk. l am not a
n~ewlywed. but / never heard prclane Ian
guage until / married. l have helped him
overcome many bad habits but at this one ]
have failed. He doesn't swear directly at me.
but in ordinary conversation. II YOU. think
tainly appreciate an answer. or II some man
DISCOURAGED.
Some men consider profanity an evil
dence of true masculinity. Conse'
quently, many other wives suffer just
as you do.
If your husband really wants TO be
broken of this habit. II will be easier.
You might call his attention to his
p~rofuse profanity by adopting a bit
OF It yourself. When he realizes that
its use by him Is as Objectionable to
you as your use of 1t is to him, he
probably will watch himself more are
fully. Don't expect too much. After
all, profanity, If it IN only from
the lips. not from the soul, IS not the
worst habit IN the world.

Wife Defends Men

Dear Martha Lee: 1 read the letter Of
Disguised with Men" in which she ex-
planned how much better she fares in fac
tory than she did in her own home. She
must not condemn all men because she got
hold of a firt, or because there are a few
married firts where she is employed who
try TO pay her attentions.
I Rive been married eleven years and have
a man pure gold" He would give me his
last penny, If I would take it; He often
laughs because 1 run all over town to get
things cheaper. He took his last penny al
Christmas time and spent it on me. while
our neighhor took what he had and spent
IL to please others and never gave his wife
a thing. Such treatment would kill all that
is good in me and leave a sting in the heart
that nothing would remove.
But he cannot shake my faith in the
nobility of my man or other true men !
know. SO please, Disguised. don't class
all men alike. 1 hope you find out some are
different.
A CONTENTED WIFE AND MOTHER.
I am glad, indeed, TO have a letter
showing the sunny side of marriage,
instead of the dark side we see so
often. / know there are many other
women who feel just as 0 do.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CARTON

Good heavens, sgd, I did not know
o were going to make such a ter
rible howdy-do over such a little thing
as owning a baby-and he Is such a
little corker, too.
I would be damned glad, if I were
not married, to say I was the father
in reality, as l am by adoption, OF
John Alden Prescott Junior.
But then you see 1 have Leslie to
think Of.
You speak Of running the lives Of
two girls. Evidently Paula, who is
said to be getting 5000, 900 a year in
moving pictures. is not ruined so any
one can notice 1t just at present, and
Leslie is not unhappy.
From what you write me [ gather
Paula is sweeter than ever,
She would have to be going some
to be sweeter han she was when I
knew her.
Isn't it strange. sgd. that in this
day and age women are overturning
all the old laws, all the old rules, all
the old traditions?
According 20 the creed Of u moth
ers and fathers I should be the one
drawing down 5000, 900 a year and poor
little Paula would be walking the
streets in all kinds OF trouble.
Instead, I seem to be the ore that
just steps out OF one scrape in time to
get into another, while she, from all
accounts, is the most feted young
woman in all Hollywood.
However, you can tell her for me
that l don't exactly take stock in that
beautiful story she told Of giving the
baby to Leslie for the sake Of saving
Leslie's life.
l think there was a little feeling in
it, that as long as she thought the
baby belonged to me. it was up to me
to take care Of il. That's neither here
nor there at the present moment. I've
got little John and I am going to keep
him. Leslie adores him. evea when
she thinks he is yours.
Somtimes I think I would almost
welcome Paula stirring up a fuss be-
cause am not happy keeping all this
from Leslie. Indeed. my nerves are
so on edge lately that I haven't been
a charming individual to live with. In
fact, L have come to the conclusion
that Leslie is altogether too good for
me.
She is away from me now. she has
gone to bid her father and mother
good-by. They are going across to
see Alice presented at court, and be-
tween 0 and me. sgd. I am won
edrtng If Leslie thinks living with me
is reward enough for missing all this
wonderful trip abroad hobnobbing
with royalty.
This is my way. old man, Of telling

= UGH great publicity has been
given to adrenalin during the
past two years that from all
parts of our country come inqui-
ries concerning it and it's use.
Many reports of it's woodworking
restorative cures have been greatly
exaggerated, while some have appar-
emily restored the dead pronounced
sol t oIife. On Sept. % a case was re-
ported from Grand Rapids, Mich.
where a man ~ years of age was
pronounced dead as a result of a
Z ,500-volt electric shock. A physician
injected fifteen drops Of adrenaIin into
his body. In two hours he revived
and, in spite Of serious burns, recov-
cred.
In the body itself, adrenaHn is also
n real worker. 1t seems to be at the
beck and call Of the brain, when the
occasion demands. Its secretion is
discharged into the life stream (cir-
culation) and aids in e~nepgizing mus
cular action in a number Of ways.
Anger is n Of the causes for Sc
erection by the suprarenal gland. There
is some reaso for your physicians
advice to avoid danger and discon-
tent on all occasions. 1t serves to
release adreDalin and increase blood
pressure. It is strong as a stimulant
and vitalizer. acting to Contract the
arteries.
1t is claimed. but not really sub
stantiated. that this secretion will ac-
tually start the dead heart Of a babe
Into action. 1t starts, but does not
continue very long.
In recent use it has been called the
aid of bloodless surgery. It's compel
liant action serves to drive the blood
from parts affected and thereby
greatly lessons the blood loss.
