SuDerStitIOuS Wife

Miss Martha Lee: / am 16. Ny husband
is 20. When We had been married nine
months he left me and went out OF town
He was gone two weeks before he wrote me
He wrote me four letterB then came back
He told me that while he was gone he reaped
what he sowed He said he never knew he
loved me until he was away.
A mind reader says he Is going again
Tell mo kow TO keep him from going
Bee. II you really believed the mind
reader, there would be no use in your
trying tc keep your husband, because
1t would be "foreordalned" that he
should leave.
And If you did not believe her alb
solutely, why are you worried7
You must see the logic OF that So
stop worrying and just keep on be-
ing your most attractive self, so that
your husband will not want to get
away from you.

night. A health gain of increased
length OF life would be the result.
The cities have gained ten years, the
country can increase this.
There is a deficit of great import
in rural foods. Too much Of the
same kind is eaten, where a change
in diet would cost no more. Every
farm garden, which results in the
canning and storage Of food, means
better diet. Health in body building
is Ia result of better garden work by
boys and girls.
Try and have the family supplied
with vegetables and fruits the year
round, and vary the diet for dis
tinct health gain.

Surely it takes only common sense
to see that. 1t hardly seems possible
that a girl would not realize that
when u married man makes love to
her and promises her everlasting de-
votion-if he can obtain a divorce-he
is only repeating promises he once
made to the wife whom he now is be-
traytng.
Unfortunately, a girl in love too
often loses her common sense. That
is why she overrates the magic Of
love, and it's powers.

We have entirely too many

pan seems to have more of them,
and Of a more malignant type
than we have. There is no real
reason why there should be any
talk of war between the United
States and Japan. Certainly the
japanese exclusion feature of the
immigration law recently adopt
ed by Congress would not justi-
fly Japan in declaring war. It
would be silly, yet there are
enough jingoes in the two coun-
