INDIVIDUALS

There has been an amount OF COM
ment facetious and otherwise, about the
activities of members of the Lucy Stone
League. They have been ridiculed, pooh
poohed and ha-ha-ed, and admonisled to
consider all the desirable wifely virtues,
when they protested against the Gus
tom of wives bearing their husbands
names. 1t has been called a useless
agitation, all agitations being useless
to those who are not interested or are
opposed. But there has been little said
of why this particular sort of protest
against things-as-they-are should have
broken out.
Consider for moment the manner
of doing things in vogue at the present
day. Everything is organized into rlass
movements. Great blocks of the popu-
lation march out in support of this idea
and of that. Are you in politics? Join
something. Vote in line with your party
whether you agree or not. Are you in
business? Join a lot of other things and
advertise extensively. Have you relig-
ious instincts? Then affiliate yourself
with church organization, and cam
paign for pet idea. Prohibit some
thing. Censor something else. Send lob
bies to Congress to see to it that every
body in the country lives according to
the ideas you may have yourself. Are
you an educator? Build up mass ideas
in the children, fill their minds with the
certain and established. rather than slim
ulating them to speculation. independent
thinking and experiment. Whatever you
are doing be sure you broadcast it and
try to make it universal. standardizc it
SO that every individual. like an automo.
bile part. will be guaranteed TO fit.
Now that sort of thing is necessary
and right, that is. to certain extent
but any one idea, however, good it may
be can be vastly and amazingly over
done. 1t can come to the place where
the individual simply ceases to exist
smashed like an Alpine village under al
avalanche. But not without protest
however, and it would seem that til
Lucy Stone League is one of these pro
tests, flying off at tangent from tn
thing itself.
The members of the league seem t
say in effect: 1--WE have married &C
, cording to the laws Of the land becaus
we are human and natural and wan
love in Our lives, but we want to b
ourselves for all of that. At least, lie
| us keep our individual names, the on
, specific, particular, personal and distinc
: tive symbol of ourselves"
: See how it is? The movement, whic
absurdly enough is driven to the tactic
, it deplored, is a phase of the struggl
5 OF the individual with the mass.

Don't Let
High Blood Pressure
Shorten Your Life
How to Stop It-Read This.
Take Norma.

It may surprise you to know high
blood pressure is so serious that in
surance companies refuse to issue
policies to those who have 1t. All
because 1t shortens life.
High blood pressure gives little
warning and until certain symp.
toms take hold, you do not know
it. They are head pains, flushed
face, hot flashes, dizzy spells, short
ness of breath, sleeplessness, and
nervousness.
Only purely vegetable medicine
like Norma that drives out the
waste matter which clogs the sys-
tenn and forces the heart to do ex.
ira work can reduce high blood
pressure. Often one bottle Of Nor
ma will bring reduction enough to
stop the symptoms which distress
and worry you.
Norma is a physicians prescrip.
tion. 1t worked so wonderfully in
his personal practice that 1t has
now been placed in drug stores SO
that people everywhere can obtain
It. Check the uncertainty OF high
blood pressure by reducing 1t with
Norma. Peoples Drug Stores or
your favorite druggist can supply
you.
