tional woman. She has a genius
for systematizing life and people.
She is very kind and generous
in her way. She would be an ex-
cellent nurse If you broke leg
and an excellent friend if you
broke your heart. Provided, of
course, that it was a nice, re-
spectacle break. But she has no
use whatever for disorderly &C.
centricities or foolish. plumbers or
silly dreams. She Is sure that
people can help things like, that
and that they should be made
to help them.
Lon is also brilliant and charm
ing-but there the similarity be-
tween Lon and Marion ends. He
Is not orderly, he despises con-
ventionality. He is decent,
honest chap--he, realizes his re-
sponsibilities and attends to them
Loyalty. But it must be hard on
him, for spiritually Lon is a
happy tramp. He has the soul
of g. foolish, delightful Airedale in
his rangy body. He loves to run
with the wind, and dream in the
sun. He has moods Of great dig
, nifty alternating with puppy ire
sponsibility. He is lazy and I'M
tidy and will love any friendly
stranger, without fear or reserve.
Also he sometimes needs to go Off
alone in corner.
He's sentimental, too, like any
other Airedale. Loves to bay at
the moon and moan to violin.

them to clean his gun.
You can easily see what a cross
he Is to Marion and how she
worries and fuses over him. OF
course, she knew he was like
that before she married him.
But she was sure she could
change him. 1t never occurred
to her that Lon might be better
unchanged--or that she had no
right to change him. She's Sc
renely satisfied that she knows
what is best for Lon and that
God has appointed her to do the
job. And, generally speaking,
she does it. Definite people. with
convictions like that. always have
it all over scattered people like
Lon.
There's another reason why Lon
does as Marion wishes-a comical
and yet pitiful reason. Lon is a
sensitive, chivalrous soul-with
sentimental notions which are
common to his species. He be-
lieves profoundly that women are
weak, helpless creatures who
mustn't be hurt by strong, ruth.
less men. So he makes tragic
sacrifice of his own personality,
rather than hurt Marion. And
all the while his Airedale soul
peers through the bars of his cage
and wonders how it would seem
to run free once more chasing
moonbean1s over a springtime hill.
Some women do that to some men.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

As have repeatedly explained,
n colds. influenza, grippe, pneu-
monia and the so-caIIed diseases
OF childhood are caused by
germs. These germs thrown off
by one person are carried to other
persons by the air; others, such
as those Of typhoid, are best car
ried by water; still others, such
as those Of diphtheria, are best
carried by milk. It can be seen
that all air-carried germs are
most effective In carrying dis
ease when people are closest to-
gether. This points to the danger
Of overcrowding. But let US look
into the matter little more
closely
Almost all catarrhal complaints
are spread by "droplet infection"
the spraying of thousands of mil
lions of microbes into the air in a
fine spray of saliva. and the re-
ception of this spray on the nose
and throat of the victim. Arctic
explorers, frightfully exposed to
weather. have never had catarrhal
complaints, save when some bale,
packed in London, was opened.
letting out a cloud of infected
dust. While a "cold" may be
troublesome but not serious, there
are many catarrhal complaints
which would be well worth avoid.
ing, and some Of these may be
spread by people who have the
germ in their Threats but are not
themselves i'll. Thus. infantile
paralysis (which can affect grown
ups, tool may be passed from a
healthy person in a bus to a per-
son who Is highly sensitive and
may well die of the infection or
be crippled for life.
1t is. not possible by leading
healthy lives to prevent the spread
of such infections among people
who crowd indoors. There is
abundant evidence that people fall
victims far more often and suffer
far more severely where there is
crowding. ill-feeding and a con-
fined life. If they live where
there is adequate ventilation they
have the mildest attacks, perhaps
so mild that they never know
they have had it, and thereafter
they are protected for life from
further trouble with that germ.
Cold weather increases the NOR
tality from respiratory disease
only because it causes children to
be kept indoors in stuffy, over.
heated rooms, where dust pollu.
ton and infection are intensified
and where health is weakened
by heat stagnation. lowered bodily
activity and lack Of sunlight.
In crowded tenements the In
lection spread to children by con-
sumptiYe parents is disastrous,
dren live with tuberculous par
ents they never have the disease.
If some terrible type of catar-
rhal disease, such az infantile pa
raiysis or sleeping sickness, should
start in an epidemic form, as 1t
might well at any time, the over
crowding OF public vehicles would
become a grave menace to the
preservation of the life of the

CHARMING CAPACITY" comes

''Ten Points which make the

Fudge and rubbish! You can be
just as miserable with $1,000,000
to Iuabble over as you can with
$50 week to fight about.
But you can't be happy for a
single moment with a man who is
not fair and honorable and on the
level with you.
Money and good looks may make
an attractive lover; but they have
very little part in the ensemble
of an ideal husband. Too much

far more likely to lead to another
woman, than to happiness. Three

You'll never find ten points Of
perfection in ANY normal man;
so put away your lanterns and
your microscopes. There is
Just ONE point, which outweighs
all the other nine, and that is
COMPANIONABILITY!
Ii he the man who gives you
the ZEST for life?
Is he the man who stimulates
and inspires you; who makes you
see visions and dreams and
dreams and build beautiful plans
for the future?
Is he the man with whom you
long to work or delight to play?
Is he the man with whom you
want to SHARE things-your
joys, your secrets, your sunsets,
your jokes, your thrills, your job
or your game?
Is he the man whose coming
lights up the scenery for you and
makes the world, go round a little
faster?
Is he the man, without whom,
home would seem empty. success
dull and flat, work just burden,
and play a waste of energy?
Is he the man to whom you
have an impulse to TELL things?
The man to whom you enjoy talk
ing about yourself, who helps you
to idealize yourself, who cheers
you on? For the biggest shock in
life. is to marry for cheer
leader and get an extinguisher.
Is he the Big Thrill in your
life, the carbureter that ignites
your ambition, fires your hopes,
and gives life a real meaning for
you?
For no matter how steady a
mans character, how big his
earning capacity, nor how great
his pulchritude. unless he is COM
panionable, unless he Is the one
who gives you the ''zest for life,
he Is not the man for YOU.
