MEDITATlONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Bought-and-P Paid-fOr Husbands
DECENTLY, the disgruntled
H husbands of two wealthy
Divorces have publicly confessed
that their services as spouses
were paid for, first by settle
ment in cold cash, and afterward
In a running salary.
The world seems to be full of
wealthy women who are willing
to exchange real money for a
little imitation love and a few
life-like kisses. Buying hus-
band either for spot cash or on
the installment plan is the latest
fad of the woman with more dol
lars than sense.
Fair enough! But why is it
that these bought and -paid.fo
husbands so seldom seem willing
to EARN the easy money they
squander, even when all that is
asked of them is a few caresses
and a pleasant smile?
Why do such men always re-
bel, sooner or later, and bite
the hand that has pawned its
diamonds in order to feed them
monogrammed cigarettes, keep
them in silk pajamas and pay
their gambling debts?
When woman marries a man
for his monew, she usually makes
up her mind to earn 1t, by giving
a life-like imitation of wifely de-
votion in return. She runs his
house, rears his children and
strives to do him credit when
she presides at his dinner parties.
But the man who marries
woman for her money never
seems to figure that he is under
the slightest obligation to give
her value received. This IL not
always because he is that kind
of man"--the taking" kind
but Just because he is q man!
Down IN the heart of every
he-male even the worniest heart
lis the aboriginal conviction
that he is Woman's superior. f"
And to know that he is the
object of her charity irks him
beyond endurance.
The more favors she lavishes
upon him, the more he hates
her. The more tenderly she
treats him, the more bitterly
he resents her kisses as an in
come tax and her generosity and
affection az an insult.
81 .
He is filled with seIf-contumely
and what spills over is HERS!
The only way in which he seems
to be able to hold on to the re-
naming shreds OF his pride is
to treat her with scorn, neglect
or contempt. And that's where
the purse-strings tighten!
"A man values q inotor-car or

have COST him. in money, work,
or self-sacrifice! And the kind
Of wife who pays the bills, makes

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

66VXTE live in the crowded sec
w tion Of q crowded city.
The playground association has
put in several swimming pools
in which hundreds of children are
constantly splashing about during
the day. Is water used in that
way safe for my two children,
who insist on being among the
'splashers'?"
Yours is a very pertinent ques-
ton. The great good brought
about by the Playground and
Recreation Association of Amer
lea through swimming pools can
hardly be overestimated. But,
like every other good thing, It
must be carefully safeguarded.
This becomes apparent when
you remember that every year
large number OF cases Of middle
ear inflammation IA most trouble
some and painful disease), also in.
fections Of the outer ear and Of
the sinuses Of the nose, occur
through contamination picked up
in swimming pools. These are but
a few Of the disorders that may
be transmitted in swimming water,
for all kinds of skin trouble,
fevers, colds and eyes infections
are passed from patient to pa
tient in this way.
The matter has been carefully
considered by the American Medi-
cal Association which, through q
desire to make the swimming pool
safe, has formulated certain rules
that should govern their use.
These rules amplified by myself,
may be stated as follows:
/. There should be a bacterial
examination of the water used
when it is fresh, which it should
be daily. This should be done by
your health department.. every
morning when the pool is filled.
2. The bottom must be clearly
visible at a depth Of six feet.
] 8. To keep the water clean the
first requirement is that all dress
ing rooms, Railways, toilets, etc,
should be kept in first.class con.
dition.
4. No one who has been outside
the plunge enclosure should be
allowed in the water again until
he has been through a shower
and a foot bath.
S; All persons with any kind Of
infectious disease or skin COM
plant should be forbidden to enter
the plunge, as should persons
wearing q bandage, which may
conceal q source of infection.
s. Splitting in the plunge water,
though unavoidable to certain
extent. should be guarded against
by fthe provision OF sufficient and
adequate receptacles for sputuna.
There are many other meas
llres necessary to insure a safe
and sanitary pool. For instance,
managers who provide towels and
dresses should issue them in a
sterile condition from a hot cham.

Bathers who bring their own
suits should bring clean ones,
preferably of light-colored or un-
dyed wool. The public hair brush
and comb are abominati and
