Haste Fatal in Marriage at Any Age BY MARTHA LEE In Wedncday's article I was tellißg you some of the hazards of early marriages, as I have gathered them from boys and girls who have written in for advice on the subject. Unfortunately, most of the letters are written after the marriages are consummated, not before. And there isn't so much to be done then as there would have been had the letters been written before the foolish youngsters had signed on the dotted line. I have tried to explain the folly oi early marriages in so many different ways. There are exceptions w here marriages between very young people v J j turn out to be the happiest marriages we know. But, generally speaking, they do not have the foundation to build upon that a marriage between more matured people has. Youth Has Strength A man, whose early marriage has been tremendously successful has objected to the fact that I harp continuously upon this subject. He contends that I am talking about hasty marriages, not early ones. And that hasty marriages between people of any age at all almost of necessity are doomed to failure. The point is three-fourths of the marriages between boys and girls under 21 are hasty marriages. They are spur of the moment affairs. They are the result of a whirlwind courtship such as only youth can provide. Hasty marriages in later life probably are even more subject to failure, because ir. youth we have so many attributes that can ride a / storm. Youth has hope and strength and a flexibility of character and disposition that makes it easier to oonform to anew life. Married Grown Man My letter today is singularly pathetic, because the girl who wrote it is marriage to a grown man, while she, after several years of marriage, still is a child. Dear Miss Lee—l am 16 years old and married to a man 36. I have a baby nearly a year old. I cuess I won’t need to tell you mv husband and X do not get along together. I am his wife and the mother of his child, vet he says I am Just a child and must be treated accordingly. He has a car. which I am not allowed to drive, but his sister can have it any time she wants it. , . t „. Ho w’as married before and had a child. Mv marriage to him was a forced one. I can not love him as I should, first because he does not give me the respect a wife and mother should have and second because he treats me as though I were a servant of some kind. He savs he is too good for met.that he Is ashamed of me. I am not a homely girl, but I. have worried about this whole thing until I look at least 25. Mv parents do not speak to me. They have never had anything to do with me since our marriage. I have no place U) no. DISCOURAGED. Here is the sort of tragedy that can come to a girl who marries too young. Being a wife and mother at the age when other youngsters are just beginning to have dates, just getting through tHeir high school courses, is no joke, especially when the husband refuses to recognize the girl's status in his household as that of wife and mother. Husband Shifts Blame You have no alternative but to stick it out, discouraged. Your parents will have nothing to do with you, you say. Your case, if you have one, is for the ju, lile court, not a divorce court. If you should leave, what could you do to support a child less than a year old? When your husband says he is ashamed of you, he doubtless is shifting the blams on your shoulders. Surely, no man could help but hate himself for involving a girl as young as you in the tragedy he has. You, like a lot of other inadvertently foolish children, must pay for your mistake. You have a child now-, and your child comes first. I should advise that you try to become friendly with your parents again, if it is at all possible. If they are human beings, surely they will make up with you if you make an effort. And they can help you better than any one else.

Indiana Boy is Brightest FrOM three to twelve. That’s the period which is most important to your child’s development. And that’s the time many are retarded mentally and physically by constipation. Watch your child, mother! At the first sign of bad breath, coated tongue, headache, biliousness, lack of energy or appetite, give a little California Fig Syrup. This pure vegetable product cleanses, regulates a child’s bowels w ithout discomfort. No danger of forming the laxative habit when California Fig Syrup is used. For it tones and strengthens weak bowels. In colds or children’s diseases, employ its gentle aid to keep the system from becoming clogged with germs or waste. Mothers everywhere are eager to tell of the benefits secured for their children. Mrs. J. Clark Hale, of 3935 Broadway, Indianapolis, says: “I have used California Fig Syrup .with Clark, Jr., for three years in cases of upsets, bad breath, coated tongue or constipation. It keeps him the brightest, happiest four-year-old I know!” Look for the name California when buying. That is on every carton of the genuine, for your protection. LAXATIVE-TONIC for CHILDREN

Employer at Fault When Wives Work BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON The married woman in industry is one of our most talked about citizens. Thi/feeling against her grows as j unemployment increases. She bears the brunt of the unhappy condition which confronts the nation. And it can not be disputed that many men are walking the streets looking for work that is being done, in many instances, by wives whose husbands are able to support them. Thor~h there are certain kinds cl employment in w'hich women aiwar will have the preference, that does not alter the fact that today they are holding dow r n plenty of jobs that men could fill. They are preferred for one res son only. Because they can be had for less money than men demand. Primarily. therefore, the real culprits in what some term “our economic crime” are the men who employing. So long as the pocketbook remains our divine symbol, this and

many unhappier condition must continue. If we had laws in this country compelling employers to pay women the same wage that men receive, the situation would adjust itself. And there’s no good saying that women should not work for less. * Are men willing to work for less now, when work is not to be had at all? Does the man who wants a job more than he wants anything, haggle over the He does not. And he stands today exactly where women have stood in industry ever since they entered it. We have taken what we could get and been grateful. If this eventually has resulted in many good men being thrown out of work, let us put the blame squarely where it belongs—upon the shoulders of the employer. I have n<f doubt that married women who did hot need work would have to return home if a fair wage scale between the sexes could be introduced, because men would rather hire men if they did not have to pay them more money. * At any rate, all this wail about women usurping men's prerogative is bunk. Greed is at the bottom of this condition, just as it is at the bottom of most of our troubles in this cqpntry. So long as men regard the dollar as more important than the individual, We shall suffer.

elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of coughs from colds, bronchitis and minor forms of bronchial irritations, and is excellent for building up the system after cords or flu.
