FATIGUE AND LOSS OF SLEEP
FORERUNNERS OF SICKNESS
Women today do not allow
themselves to grow old. There is.
much to be commended ill the man-
ner .in which the present day wo-
man remains young in spirit, in hcl'
actions and in her dress. Most wo-
men are, therefore, young women.
but lu this article we will consider
only those who are young in years.
Throughout life there are cer-
tain age periods during which sus-
ceptibility to various diseases is
greatest.
Although tuberculosis finds its
victims in every age group from ln-
fancy to the close of life, neverthe-
less it exacts its great/est toll at
certain ages. For females, this por-
iod ls between the ages of 15 and
26.
What are the factors responsible
for the causes that underlie a.
death rate which is much higher
than that of young men of a simi-
lar age?
In the first place, the physiologi-
cal chatnges which accompany ado-
lescence in women is a factor of
major importance. School work and

ipan, N. S. Trees and lawns and
flowers not only give enjoyment to
those who live among them. but
they flll with pride the heart cf
each citizen of the town, district.
county or Province in which they
may be found. They give a welcome
to visitors and a lasting impression
that is worth while. `
The cost of a few packages of
well-chosen seeds is small compared
with the returns obtained from
their effect on one's life. Many home
grounds are left barren just because
some one has failed to take the
lead. Just break the ice, so to
speak, then watch for results. They
are sure to follow.
As a guide for those who wish to
make a start, the following list of
annuals, tested at the Dominion
Experimental Farm, Nappan, may
be found helpful. Sweet peas. plant-
ed early, will supply abundance of
cut flowers for the house. Some of
the newer varieties are: Captain
Blood, Cherry Glow, Brilliant Rose,
Fire, Idyl, Lnddie, Mrs. A. Searles,
Beauty, Peggy, Ruffled Orchids, Sa-
tin Mauve, Sunkhst and Tip Top.
Asters have hot, as a general rule,
proved satisfactory at this faml.
Other annuals that have done well
are calcndula, clarkla, castor* oil
bean, Cobaea. scandens, cockscomb,
cosmea, coreopsls, chrysanthemum,
carldytuft, camatlch, dlmcrphoth-

Space will not permit of the names
of each, or the full list, but if you
will write the Experimental Station,
Nappan, or your nearest Experlmen.

No Man Who] Really Loves His Wife Will
Humiliate Her by Plulandering'--Parw
sitic Children»Dese1've no _Consider-
ation From _Mother They Have,
,'~ Impoverished,
l.__..@.
Dear Miss Dix-I have been married four years and have dons every.
thing in my power to be everything that a wife should, but I have just
learned that my husband has had about three or more anairs with otha
women during this time. I am bewildered and di
not know what to do. I am told that all mu
cheat on their wives. Is this true? My husband
aays he loves me. but this does not seem to me
poulble. Please tell me what women do under
these circumstances? DISILLUSIONED.
Answer:
when wives dnd out that their husbands an
unfaithful to them, they either divorce them, ol
else “forgive and forget," as the phrase goes, but
in either event all that made marriage beautiful
and sweet and sacred is gone, never to be ra.
gained.
For, if the woman gets a divorce, it is as if she has had a limb ampu.
tatcd that leaves her a cripple for life. If she forgives and forgets, gh;
memory of her hushnnd's treachery is s. wound in her heart that may heat
over, but leaves a scar that aches and throbs until she dies.
Wives confronted with this problem meet it in different ways. If |
woman has children, she often feels that she owes it to them to keep thi
home together if she possibly can, and thousands upon thousands of wlvei
shut their eyes to their husbands' affairs and carry on for the sake of
their youngsters. Sometimes a woman who has no money of her owl
and no trade by which to support herself realizes that divorce from |
phllanderlng husband will only add to her misery by plunging her int,
penury, so she makes the comfortable living he gives her and her plact
in society a consolation prize for his falthlsssness. Often a woman lover
a man so greatly that she has no life without him and she realizes that
she will be happier even with the alight hold she has upon him than shi
would be if she wasentirsly separated from him.
But, the modern woman, if she has no children, and can support her
self, is likely to take a different view of the matter. Bha looks the situ-
ation squarely in the face and decides that she has had enough of a bac
bargain and calls the marriage off. She can see no future of happines:
in living with an iuntrustwor-thy man. Nor is sho allured by thaprospeci
of spending the balance of her life going through all the agonies of jen.
ousy which every wife feels who sees her husband preferring anothel
woman before her, who knows that he is lavlshing on other women tho
attentions 'and the money that belong to her by rights.
-She can see no wisdom in perpetuating a mistake. She has com.
mitted an error in judgment in her choice of a mats. Too bad. Bui
the sensible thing is to correct her mistake while there is yet time fol
her to rebuild her life. No use of going on, year after year, eating out
your heart hoping and praying and waiting for s miracle that will never
happen that will make a weak, sensual man strong and true' and reliable
Of course, many men claim that no matter how much they philandel
with other women, they still love their wives. They say that their skirt-
chaslng is merely an adventure to pass away an idle hour, that the littls
dinners, the rides, the presents, the kisses and endearmcnts simply mean
nothing and are just part of the technique of flirtation.
To a certain extent this is -doubtless true, but the fact remains thai
no man who really loves his wife ever cares for any other woman. Other
women have no attraction for him, and if they did, he would be too ten-
der of his wife’s feelings to torture her with anxiety, too careful of her
pride to humiliate her by flauntlng another woman in her face, and ton
anxious for har approbation to be willing for her to know him as a traitor
who betrays her. DORDTI-IY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix-After my huaba.nd's deem I sold tha farm on
which we lived, as all of my children were married except ons, and nom
wanted to live in the country. I got 620,000 for the farm, but my som
have borrowed practically all of the money from me and have not paid
1 cent back. Ona of my sons is lick and I have to support him. Ons
of my daughters is in a sanatorlum with tuberculosis and her husband and
daughter of ll live with me and pay no board, although my son-in-law
makes a good salary.
All of my children come and stay with me when they feel like ii
without paying anything. I am getting old. Don’t you think I ought
to have rest and the benefit of the little money I have left?

Answer: '
I think it is high time for you to stage a performance of the "Rebell-
ion of Mother" and tell your selfish and grafting children where they get
od. The one lesson that mothers never seem to learn is that their child-
ren treat thsm exactly as they have been tonight to treat them. Ever!
mother writes her own price tag for her children. If she puts a high
value on herself, her children regard her as something fine and rare and
priceless, but if she puts a low value on herself, they hold har cheaply and
do not think her worth taking care of, or considering. ~
You see some mothers whose children wait upon them, who are solici-
tcus for rnother's comfort and welfare, and give her the best of things:
who write to her when they are away from her, remember her birthda!
and save up their money to give her some little thing that she wants.
You see other women whose children do not treat them with even
common politeness; who lpeak to mother as they would not speak to I
servant; who make her slave for them without even the reward of a
mumbled "thank you"; who never tell mother anything of their plans and
who don't bother even to send her s postcard when they are away from
her, and never think of such a thing as making her any kind of present
In each case the mother is merely reaping what she has sown. Om
mother put herself upon a pedestal and demanded respect and reverence
from her children, and she got it. The other mother made herself I
docrmat for her children and they kicked her around and trampled over
her, which is what happens to all doormats.
The most foolish thing that any mother ever does is to give all of bel
property to her children, because those who are willing to rob her of her
last dollar are the selfish, greedy ones who will most resent having tc alll?-
port her when she becomes dependent on them. It is hard for a mother
to say "no" to her children when they come begging her for money to Plli
in their business, with a. story of how they could prosper if they had only
,a little more capital. Or how happy they could be if sbs would give thelll
the money to buy a home, and how she could live with them and be tho
most cherished guest, with the best room and the warmest seat br til°
fire. ,
However, once they have got mothers money it ia s didarent tale-
Somehow, the business dooan‘t prosper al it was expected to do. 01'- if ii
does, mother is made to feel that she is a dependent in ft. Man! 1"

Afier all. even cne's children are human beings. with human fault!
and weaknesses and human reactions. It ia human to respect thou will
force us to respect them, and to treat with more deference those who lf’
independent of us than those who are parasites upon ua. Mono! NU iii'
