NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
But They're All We Have to Love

But They're All We Have to Love
1T IS far easier for a man to
i fool one woman after another,
than it is for him to keep on
fooling the same woman forever.
Most of the heartaches and
love quarrels are caused by a
woman's tendency to exaggerate
a mans emotions, idealize his
motives, and credit him with
lot of beautiful, hidden impulses
that aren't there"
Having charge accounts with a
lot of tailors and haberdashers,
helps to keep a man out of
fairs with a lot of women helps
to keep him out of matrimony.
Alas, many a man has been
astounded and chagrined to dis
cover that the tenderest clinging
vine can have a stranglehold!
There never was a man ''too
POOR to marry" if he happened
to be in love. The kind of man
who hesitates is the one who
feels that he has too much money
to waste it all on one woman.
The average man goes through
life searching for the woman who
will be the greatest inspiration to
him-and ends by marrying the
one who is the greatest enigma
to him.
= A good fellow" is one who
goes TO bed at q. m. full of
good spirits" and brotherly love
and awakens at 10 a. m. full of
grouches, resentment and pess-
imism.
There is no such thing as a
perennial" among summer loves
Like the brave, they die only
once-and they never can be
resuscitated.
The average mans ideas about
the straight and narrow path"
are about as broad and hazy as
a taxi-driVer
The feat of the modern girls
life is to have to face the truth
about men and love-and still
keep enough of her illusions about
them to get thrill out of them.

Townsend, Oct. 25.-The scholars
of the Townsend Grammar School
took in a nice little sum from their
recent entertainment. The proceeds
are for the benefit of the school. The
8th, 7th and Sd Grades gave a play,
respectively, and the entertainment
throughout was of much interest. The
9Th Grade scholars also gave a song
service and several recitations.
Squirrel hunters who have had good
sport, report that the outlook is ex-

season opens on November Is. Squir-
rel hunters had a good chance to OBJ
serve the amount of game that
abounds in the woods and fields, while
watching for squirrels, and the OPP

tontails and birds are much more
plentiful than was the case at the
corresponding time last year.

While It is true that some individ-
uals have difficulty in digesting fresh
fruits even those with delicate diges-
tions can easily take fresh ripe
peaches. This fruit has a particular
part to play in the construction OF late
Summer and early Autumn diets. Ihe
flesh is decidedly alkaline, and PERIOD
of peach eating will frequently 40
much toward correcting the results
an an excess of acid-forniing foods:
Peaches contain iron, phosphorus ana
lime, the three most important mineral
salts as we'll as the digestible form OF
fruit sugar.
Now that the season for hot cereals
is approaching it Is well to remember
the difference between rolled oats and
steel cut oats. Sometimes called
Scotch oatmeal, sometimes Irish. Oat-
meal prepared by one process makes a
porridge Of slightly different consis-
tency from that of rolled oats. the lat
ter having been treated by machinery
as the kernel fattens out in the form
OF tiny fakes. Besides this, certain
amount Of cooking has been accom-.
plished. At one time it was thought
that the steel cut variety of oatmeal
was far more digestible than rolled
oats, but this conception has changed.
1t is probable that the chief advantage
Of serving both types, steel cut or
faxed, lies in the matter Of variety.
When cantalOupe is served with ice
cream one has so much nourishment
in a dish that the entire luncheon
may be built around 1t. For example,
the ice cream contains all of the valu-
able portions of milk and the melon
furnishes important salts so that
taken in combination these two foods
form what might be called an almost
ideally balanced dish. Ice cream fur.
nishes both body building material and
energy, while the melon is a rich
storehouse Of alkaline food and body
regulating salts.

There are cold.fngered folk who

meantime one or two of the dress

Brush and Bristle,

So far the net result Of my one-man
movement against the rite Of brush
ing the teeth is that I and a couple
of kids in st. Paul are saving an
average of 81 year per man. Not
to abate the movement by one jot or
title, we are willing to compromise
for the sake of temporary peace on
the position taken by good authority
on dental hygiene, DR.. Joseph Head,
who tells the world that the tooth
brush should not be over ! "a inches
long and the bristles should not be
over Il inch long, but the handle
afford a firm grip to the hand.
Most toothbrushes have bristles
long enough to serve fairly we'll for
brushing out ones tonsils or perhaps
sweeping up ones esophagus. Long
bristles, by increasing the pivoting arc
of each bristle, reduce the bristle fric-
ton produced by movement Of the
brush. 1t is bristle friction alone that
cleanses the teeth and gums during
the process of brushing. This un-
romantic physician dentist specialist
figures the thing out very plainly. He
finds that bristles y inch long can

and you must admit they were dirty
before, because that's why you pre-
tended to brush them. If the brush
has Il inch bristles, there is attain
able 5s-inch bristle stroke and that
is sufficient to clean the teeth.
So far I think most dentists agree
with DR.. Head. But from now on all
is discord. Every little dentist has a

Of Congress, yclept the Capitol" The
city was growing slowly. and it was
not until after the War of 1924 that
even one member of either branch of

day of the beautifully picturesque
appearance of the country" and said
he had nowhere seen finer scenery
than is caused by the Potomac and
the woods and hills about it; yet it has
wild, desolate air from being so

office and delivered his monologue:
doctor, this tooth paste is most USE
full for the cure of the small canker
sores that so often come on the cheeks
and gums. All you have to do is to put
little of this paste on the toothbrush
and brush it thoroughly into the
gums" But" the doctor interposed,

DR.. Head advises persons with soft
or bleeding gums to soak the brush in
hot water to soften the bristles, at
first. After a while the gums become
harder under brushing and then it Is
not necessary to soften the bristles.

Ry MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Frances is years old and has
| been the undisputed queen of the
family for those five years. Every
move she makes is important. and
don't think she doesn't know it. The
household revolves about her. She Is
petted and pampered and noticed.
Suddenly, without warning, the sun
is obscured. A little brother arrives
in the night and the next day the
whole order of Frances life is
changed.
Father brings in Frances to view
the wee stranger. Every one COOS
and exclaims over him. Frances Is
told TO run outdoors and play, so as
not to disturb mother and brother.
When brother screams the family
flies TO him. When Frances hits her
toe and shrieks with the pain, grand
mother says: "Shh. You'll wake
brother" Not one word or sym
pathy, not even kiss.
When Frances finds herself for q
moment alone in the room with the
new brother she thinks it good op-
portunity for revenging herself upon
him. SO she gives the red, wrinkled
mite a good pinch.
OF course. brother cries in terror
and is cuddled. Frances receives
black looks from every one and is told
she is a. wicked, wicked girl to hurt
her darling, helpless little brother
(any one who has accomplished so
much doesn't seem helpless to Fran
ces). and so she sulks and is ostra-
cized by the family and grows to
hate the brother more and more.
The parents think her unnatural.
Frances feels herself justified.
OF course, we understand the adult
viewpoint that children should love
their sisters and brothers, but 1t is
the parents fault if they don't. Fran
ces should have been taken into her
mothers confidence and should have
watched as eagerly for the arrival or
the brother or sister as her mother.
She should be made to feel that the
baby belongs to her as well as the
parents and have joy and pride in
this possession. And most of all,
Frances should not be forgotten in
the excitement attendant on the
baby's arrival. She is just as young
as the day the baby arrived and just
as much in need of being loved.
Children won't be jealous unless
their mothers and fathers shove them
too rapidly out of the limelight and
let them feel that the new baby is
responsible. Then it is quite natural
for them to show their lacerated
feelings by trying to get back at the
baby who has caused this upset.
