MEN FOLKS, TOO, ARE
FAR FROM PERFECTION
Mrs. Ferguson Not Worried at Mental Bomb Hurled by
Chicago Professor

the average mans consciousness
when he is drugged with poison from
Cupid's arrows.
For this reason we may watch
daily the dragging off of smart and
stalwart men by maidens who could
not pass kindergarten intelligence
test. LONELINESS, inanity, vacuity,
positive meanness, are overlooked
by the stammering male when the
gods forget him. He is a helpless
thing exposed TO the dangers of a
sex far more wise than his and at
all times more astute. He is a
gambler in game more momentous
than stud poker. more intricate than
bridge. more difficult than golf, and
only the fates can tell what his fu-
ture will be with the chosen princess
Of his dreams.
| 1t is therefore quite futile for the
professor from Chicago or anybody
else to tell men what sort of women
they should marry. This always
rests upon the knees of the gods.
The Lord, after all. must have
pitied women. Although He
/ showered on the men countless adj
vantages, still He permitted in them
this temporary mental alteration so
that even the most worthless, the
most ignorant, the most homely of
women can still boast a husband.

When woman felt helpless and
timid and something of mans in

many-tiered skirts; she bound up her
neck in high collars, weighted her

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Some professor in Chicago hurls
this mental bomb: That marriage
will only be successful when all
women are beautiful and physically
perfect.
With theusual male impertinenec,
hedoes not suggest that it might be
well for the men also to improve
their appearance. Yet when you
contemplate some of the handbook
ing customers that women have had
the courage to marry, you wonder
just why they always pick on us
when there IS any improvement adj
vocated.
1t is to be hoped, however, that
the homely girls will not go into a
decline worrying about this. For
men, you know, have a nice habit
of seeing beauty even where it is
hidden. Themost ordinary maiden
often wears the halo of an angel to
her sweetheart.
All men are fools when they are
in love. 1t is unfair to twit them
on their matrimonial failures be-
cause, after all, they have so little
to say about the matter. When they
are in this state of trance they are
incapable Of judgment, discretion or
good sense, and atthemercy of the
Fates and the women.
This is why there are such multi
tudes of homely wives.
For though they may have looked
exactly the same in the days of
courtship, then their beaus dressed
them up in all the feminine virtues,
clothed them in the garments of
beauty and set up shrines to them
as to some mystic goddess. The
fact that a woman's mind may be a
total blank does not even register on

Your "Regular"
PainNowNeedless

Menstruation is a perfectly nat
ural process, but the painful part
is NEEDLESS. Long study has
absolutely conquered menstrual
pain. Science now offers women
reliable and complete relief-in a
simple, utterly harmless tablet called
midOI
This newest achievement of the
laboratory has nothing to do with
drastic, habit.forming drugs that
kill pain by benumbing the whole
system! Midol acts directly on the
organs affected by menstruation.
and nowhere else. Yet relief and
absolute comfort come in five to
seven minutes!
So, why have a twinge of pain
feel low or even uncomfortable!
Or take anything to depress the
heart or upset the system? All
drug stores have midol in a thin
aluminium box that tuclls in purse
or pocket-for so cents.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoUR children, now In school.
i may be approaching one OF
those interesting periods called
graduation" They now grad
uate" from the kindergarten, then
from the primary school, then from
the Junior high then from the
senior high" and, finally, from
college. 1t has come to be grad
uating" all along the line from in
fancy to old age. The interest
ing and important thing about 1t
all, from my standpoint as a
health and succe-s commentator,
is that each graduation" Is a
period of extraordinary mental
stress.
The Scottish Education Depart
ment Is so seriously concerned at
the prevalence of overpressure
among candidates for the school
leaving certificate that they have
issued a special circular to warn
parents and school teachers of its
danger.
This graduation" overpressure
= may show itself in a complete
failure at examination, or, later
on, in a permanent damage to
vitality. The former Is probably
the lesser evil for the student.
First of all, says the circular.
pupils are too often persuaded to
attempt too much. Boys and girls
who show real aptitude for Ian.
guages and mathematics may be
well able to pursue four subjects
to the highest standard, but the
majority had better rest content
with the minimum of two in the
higher and two in the lower. To
aim too high is to undergo a
process of cramming that may
hinder true mental growth and
actually cause definite injury to
health.
Another serious error Of some
school authorities is to reduce tho
time for physical training. so that
pupils may concentrate more on
their examination work. This
often defeats its own end. 1T Is
Just when pupils are especially
anxious and working extra hard
that there is most need to take
care of their physical health. If
there il to be any special train
ing for the examination, 1t should
be physical rather than mental.
Again, adolescents, and girls
having their vitality heavily taxed
by the effort of growing up and
. adapting themselves to a much
fuller and more exacting life.
Mental strain Is apt to deflect
energy which the body cannot af-
ford to lose. This applies par
ticularly to the long, slender, deli
cate, "overgrown" type to whom
overwork is disastrous. II not
only takes away what energy he
or she has, but retards growth,
demoralizes conduct and lower re
sistance to disease. Other chill
dren whose burden ought to be
lightened are those who come
from a home where circumstances
are difficult orgwho have to make
long or tiring journey to school.
Medical officers and nurses OF
schools should be vigilant at all
times, but especially all through
the secondary course. They, how
ever, should redouble their efforts
during the last two years. This
is the critical time for all the
functions ana faculties Of body
and mind. 1t is the time during
which the proper relationship Of
these functions and faculties to
each other In made OF. spoilt. not
only for today but for ite. Teach
