The fight to adopt the iron tonnage tax in Min

and newspapers favored it; the big city papers
fought it and predicted that if passed the great

Nothing. The steel company is expanding and is
now satisfied with the tax.
What has it yielded to the schools of Minnesota?

SEEKING

What's the use of always fretting
Over ills that can't be cured;
What's the use of finding fault with
What we know must be endured?
Does it make our burdens lighter
If we grumble meath the load;
Does it make life's pathway brighter
If We fret about the road?
Better use our time than fill it
Full of sight and vain regrets
Over some imagined blunder
AS does he who always frets.
can't expect life's pathway
To be always strewn with flowers,
Nor the time that God has given
All be made Of happy hours,
Half our troubles our invention;
We're to blame for half u strife;
Then, if life is what we make it,
Why not make the most of life?

WELL
SHOULD COUSINS
MARRY?
DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
rs THERE any foundation for u

rs THERE any foundation for our
\ prejudice against the marriage OF
closely related persons?
In more than a third of the United
States marriage of first cousins is for
hidden. In Oklahoma not even second
cousins are allowed to marry.
Yet in England marriage between
cousins is quite common and has been
for generations. An EngIishman can
marry his fathers brothers daughter,
but until recently he was not allowed
to marry his deceased wife's sister,
who was no relation to him whatever
Professor Paul Popenoe, the we'll
known authority on this subject, says
that whether or rot cousins should
marry depends entirely on the cousins.
Marriage between persons of the
same ancestry and the same personal
traits tends to produce children with
these traits more strongly developed.
If the inherited characteristics are
good, the marriage results in better
children.
If the inherited traits are bad, then
poorer children are the result.
Professor POpenoe concludes that If
both interested parties to the marriage
are strong and healthy, mentally and
physically, above the average, with no
bad tendencies in their common IN
cestors for several generations back,
their children will probably be above
the average.
But if the cousins are mentally or
physically below the average, If their
ancestors had undesirable traits, or if
any evidences of insanity, feeble
mindedness, liability to disease, &c
centricities, or other undesirable pecu-
liarities were present, then their mar
riage would be inadvisable.
Professor Popenoe's conclusions are
In line with what every live stock
breeder knows from experience.
The breeder knows that when the
parents are carefully selected and all
animals with bad traits and physical
defects are cut out. there is no quicker
or surer way of building up a fine
grade of stock than by i%nbreeding.
On the other hand, the breeder
knows that if the parents are defec-
tive, low grade or scrub animals, the
general average of the herd Is lowered.
So the answer to the question
whether cousins should marry is that
it all depends on the cousins. And
the best advice to those In doubt Ia
that of Punch-"DOn't."

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS

a LARGE chicken Is much more
"A economical to buy than a small
one, as the proportion Of meat to bone
is greater. After all the meat is re-
moved, the bits too small to serve on
the table may be used in a salad or a
cream sauce on toast. The bones, with
q stalk or two of celery, with an onion
and a bit of carrot, covered with cold
water and simmered for several hours,
will make a most delicious soup.
Cream, egg or rice may be added, or
it may be served clear with c%routons.
For the child who carries a lunch
a sandwich or two, one for real Jour
ishment and the other for a sweet,
with a bit of ~seasonable fruit, will
make a good meal and one easy to
prepare on a busy morning.
Many a child has been taught to like
tea or coffee by having the milk
warmed by either of those beverages.
This is a most pernicious habit to form.
Milk may be warmed with hot water
or heated milk may be given the child
If a hot drink Is desirable, but tea
or coffee in any form should never be
allowed. Weak tea or coffee is more
harmful than a well-prepared concoc-
ton, some of our dietitians tell us, as
the weak solution sets up a fermenta-
ton, causing sour stomach and other
digestive disorders. The safe thing is to
leave such beverages for older people
who ought to be able to withstand such
indulgence, If Ill effects result from
their use.

Onions With Cheese.

place a layer in a baking dish, owe

and place in a hot oven to thoroughly
heat through and brown the crumbs.
