Two people link themselves together fri marriage. They live in the same house, they have the same friends, they breed and bring up children, they share poverty and wealth, pleasure and pain, they are supposed to be one.

They always think they are fooling each other and. If the truth were known, they aro only fooling themselves.

Ilut love can do nothing by which tvwe people will grow nearer to each other, into more understanding. For we are ad of us apt to lie to those we love most, just-because we love them.

You may be pleased to learn that a group of physicians, who met recently In New York, founded a society for the scientific study and treatment of cancer.

“Don't stint on wrapping materials’, safety first," advises Miss Dorothy Byfleld, 1049 W. Thirty-Fifth St. “Articles easily broken or crushed must be tightly packed. Use libera! quantities of excelsior, or like material. In, around and between the articles and outside the container.”
deaths from cancer have increased three-fold. It Is more prevalent among women than men. The real cause of cancer, except In certain external cases when injury and Infection have played Important parts, is not really known. No regular die*, or particular food seems to Increase or diminish cancer cases. However, there Is danger from long continued action or irritation of certain parts, os the lips or nose. If the layman will use due precaution and see to It that any form of chronic Irritation, pus formation or ulceration bo treated by a competent physician at once, a gain may come our way. Cancer in its early stages is not painful. This Is an additional warning to use every means to ward it~off. Some formation of chemical ferments, not however the direct result of food conditions, Is believed to cause cancer by the majority of modern students. Sheath Pins The new sheath pins, besides being popular for hats and' in place of bar pins, are being used as hair ornaments. and are most effective too.
Martha Lee Says Bad Example Offsets Loving Care of Mother Jimmy’s mother does not know what to do. She loves, her son. But evidently Jimmy’s lather does not love him. Dad spends his spare time in poolrooms and occasionally stays out all night. Jimmy is 12, the age when boys begin to take notice of such things.
Now, the question'is, will Jimmy bo worse off with no father than he is with a father who sets him only a bad example? Jimmy’s mother is asking. The answer is, that, although no amount of lpving care can make up for the loss of a parent, a father who sets for his child or.ly a bad example, can offset the devotion and training of the most loving mother.

So it is up to yotr to do one of two things: Effect a change in your husband, if possible, or get a divorce and do all you can to be both father and mother to your boy. j Os course, it is more desirable to keep your family intact. It is just possible that, if your husband is made to realize that you will not permit him to spoil your son’s life and that he may actually lose you and the boy, he will “reform.” Os course ,ls he does, it is up to you to make your home and yourself so pleasant and desirable that he will want to be with you.

Now that thy worrying is off your mind, I think you will recover. You might send the girl a Christmas greeting or possibly a gift of very little intrinsic value. Rivalry Still Rankles Dear Miss Lee: I am a young woman 1.8 years old. I have been married since June, I love my husband dearly, but he is jealous. I earo for no one but him. Because a man 1 used to go out with before we were marrif|l, still speaks to me. he is jealous. He has no reßsnn except that the man asked me to marry him before my husband did. Ta there any way to ke*p my husband rum jret ting furious when he knows this mau has spoken to me? My husband has no cause to be jealous, because I am open and above-board about everything. He speaks to every woman he knows and will allow me to speak to every man I know except this one. JUNE. Foolish husband! Can't you make him see that the fact that you refused to marry this man because you loved the one you did marry is safeguard enough? And that as long as you tell him about any conversations you have with the other man, he need have no fear?. * It is a stubborn case, so be careful not to aggravate it by being overfriendly with the man. Just a nod and a word of greeting should suffice. Your husband cannot expect you to “cut” the man entirely just because he was unfortunate enough to lovj you once. That would be a poor way for your husband to show his victory over his rival. Appeal to his sportsmanship.
