The Rhymins
O ptimist
NOW CLOSE THE BOOK

NOW CLOSE THE BOOK
Now close the book. Why
should we read of loves
That quickened when the
world we know was young?
Of Venus, with her myrtles
and her doves?
Of Sappho, and her heart by
Phaon wrung?
What can we feel for Helen's
golden hair
And all the woe it brought
to men of Troy?
Not even the dust of that once
poet snare
Is left; no longer can her
smile bring JOY.
Now close the book. Those
other loves are gone
Vague visions of a world re-
mote from this.
Your love and mine are fresher
than the dawn;
Give me your hand to hold,
your lips to kiss!
Why should we read of myth
and history,
When loves bright flame
leaps up in you and me?

Advice for
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage


Nancy fears that her young
husbands love is fading after
two years of married life. That
thrill so enchanting in the
earlier days is lacking. what is
to be done?" she asks plain
lively, and with undoubted sim
cerity.
With equal sincerity, dear
Nancy, I will offer the answer
that comes readily to mind. be-
lieve, first of all, that if they
were honest almost all welded
couples would admit in some de-
gree the doubts that you so
frankly confess.
You see, they are married, and
for some unfortunate reason
they cease to take pains in pro-
viding surprises for each other
so as to keep up the illusions.
Married people rarely flirt-
with each other. Love is taken
for granted, and that is not at
all good for love.
Pleasing the Husband
Why don't you take an ex-
pertinent like this? Be your old
fascinating self for couple of
weeks-nothing too much trou-
BILE If done to please Mr.. Hus-
band. Don't complain about any
thing lacking. And then ask if
he'd mind If you should go for
a little visit, preferably out Of
town.
I'll warrant that before the
time is out he will urge if not
beSeech you to come home. No
body will be quite like darling
Nancy.
Marriages go on the rocks be-
cause the parties fail to play the
game. They forget that it won't
continue as it was in the begin
ming simply because of the we'd
ding promises of love and honor,
If not obedience.
Free Rein In Marriage
And you may as we'll take
note of this fact. If friend hus-
band feels like spending some
of his evenings out, meet his
return with smooth and
cheerful brow. If he is not too
late, tell him about the book
you have been reading; let him
volunteer the account of his
diversions. You can then de-
mand equal liberality from him.
Above all, don't wait up or
charge him with having been
selfish when he goes out with
men friends. If he is late, it
will do no harm to pretend you
are asleep. Let there be an
especially merry breakfast.
The marital clock needs wind
ing up and occasional regulat-
ing. Your man is just two years
older since this happy marriage
and so are you. Be that much
wiser, and all will be we'll.

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. ID.
One of the pleasures of child
hood was to study folding
anatomical mannikin with SUI
perimposed plates. You lifted
up the fold which pictured the
skin, and there underneath
were the muscles. You lifted
up the picture Of the muscles
and there were the ribs and
peritoneum. You lifted them
up and there were the lungs
and heart and intestines and
stomach and liver. You lifted
them up and there were the
backbone, the aorta and the
kidneys.
It was like the old preachers
sermon on the prodigal son. He
chose as his text, When he
came to himself" The preacher
described the prodigal son in
the far land pawning first his
overcoat and then his coat,
then his vest, then his shirt,
and then his undershirt. And
then" continued the preacher,
he came to himself"
The greatest interest Of the
anatomical mannikins with the
superimposed plates vas that
when you got inside you felt
that you had come to yourself.
If you had a pain you could
find out what was underneath
the pain and you knew it was
your liver or your spleen or
your appendix that was dis
eased.
Of course, you always think
of the worst under these cir
cumstances. 1t is always the
most vital organ that you Sc
lect. 1t is never the humble
muscles or Just the tendons or
fasCia. 1t has to be the gall
bladder or pancrea,
This is especially true of
backache. The first thought of
the person who has backache
is that it is due to the kidneys.
And that means Bright's dis
ease. And that means early
dissolution.
The fact is that backache is
very Seldom-almost never
due to kidney disease. 1t is
usually no more than a muscle
and tendon pain in the great
round masses Of INTERVIEWING
back muscles.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
Wedding Flowers

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Should the groom or the
best man buy the flowers for
the wedding?
2. Is it proper for the groom
to help the bride with the eX-
pense of the bridal outfit?
l. The groom always buys
the flowers for his bride.
Usually the parents of the bride
or the bride herself buy the
flowers for the bridal attend
ants. for these flowers are
planned as part of the ensem-
BILE of the attendants. How
ever, sometimes the groom also
wishes to send those flowers,
and if he wishes to, he asks
the bride for this privilege, and
she and he select the flowers
together, so that they will be
as the bride plans.
The best man does not at all
participate in the sending of
these flowers, or in any of the
other expenses of the wedding.

Suggestions For
housewives

Short tacks are difficult to
fix in corners, but if they are
forced through a small strip of
paper and the paper is held in
stead of the tack there will be no
more bruised fingernails.
Milk and butter very quickly
absorb odors. If placed in ice
chest with other food they
should be kept closely covered.
The outside of a milk bottle
should be washed before put
ting it in the refrigerator.
No paper should be used

FEDERAL CONTROL
OF MINES IS URGED
Davis and Kelly Offer Bills
to End Waste in Soft
Coal Fields.

Legislation aimed at Federal regu-
lation of the bituminous coal industry
was pending in Congress today, follow
ing introduction yesterday OF Identical
bills in the Senate and House which
would permit form alton of voluntary as
sociations of operating companies. The
bills, according to their sponsors, would
stop "demoralization and waste" in
production.
One was submitted by Senator Davis
and the other by Representative Kelly,
both Pennsylvania Republicans. Davis
said much of the measure was based
on conditions he found in the industry
while Secretary of Labor.
The prime objective of the proposal
Is the licensing of every company pro-
ducL1g soft coal for interstate or foreign
commerce. under a commission of five
appointed by the President.
Pool Control Sought.
In addition, the commission would
pass upon formation of marketing pools
or cooperative selling associations.
Such groups would agree on measure
of production with their product to be
sold at a price set by the commission
after public hearings to which con-
sumers would be invited.
A balance between production and
consumption OF coal, sought Dy Jne
legislation, was said by Davis and
Kelly to be imperative In joint
statement, they asserted:
THE continuance of the present
system with its cut-throat competition
means destruction to every element in
the neutrality-suspicious., mine workers
and owners of coal company securities.
Fifty years and more of actual ex-
perience proves that the problem will
not solve itself All the efforts within
the industry have also resulted IN
failure and jungle conditions still
continue"
Fair Return Denied.
They said not a single coal company
ais earning a fair return on invest
ment" at the present, with unemploy-
ment of miners causing misery to
themselves and their families"
The bill was drafted they added,
along the lines suggested by numerous
large producers" as well as mine union
officials, including John L. Lewis, preSi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America.
Intended to waive antitrust law re-
strictions, the bill. in effect, would
make coal companies public utilities.
The sponsors said their proposal is
an enlargement and improvement over
q bill introduced in 1921 at the instance
of the United States Coal Commission,
appointed by President Harding to in
quire into the ills of the industry at
that time. That measure failed Of
