must acquaint himself with his neighbors

Women
In India
Always
Respected
By Y. M. BOSE
In India when a stranger meets a wom-
an lie always addresses her as "mataTee,'
meaning mother, from which fact one can
easily find out that in India a woman is
rcspected. alway s occupying the noble place
of mother.
Again, an Indian woman's mime In-
gin- with a term meaning "with grace"
niul tloes not indicate whose wife she may
be or whom she belongs to. In this coun-
trv a married woman i- always recognized
as ".Mrs.." thai i-. the wife of somebody
or belonging to somebody, which clearly
indicates that woman's position a- a sepa-
IOBABLY no class ol persons are so much and so per-
sistently misrepresented as are mothers-in-law Why this
should be il is not easy to say. There really seems to be
no reason, good, had or indifferent; why the natural state ol
a married man should bp enmity towards the mother of his
wife. On the contrary, quite. No man should, surely no sen-
sible man would, marry the daughter of am woman whom lie
did not thoroughly respect, with whom be could not associate
upon terms of amity. "Like mother. Iik< daughter, says tli"
old proverb, truthfully, too. and with fewer exceptions than
most of the wise saws which have com" down to lis from the experience
of our ancestors.
Moreover, when a man and his mother-in-law do not affiliate it almost
always will be found that he and not she is to blaine. Such cases are
standard exceptions to the rule that it Isikes two to make a quarrel
As si rule, women are pleased to have their daughters marry
the matchmaking mother is as common a subject for jokV sis is the objec-
tionable mother-in-law. If after marriage ii turns out that the match is
not all that the wife's mother wished for and expected, she usually is
anxious that in the eyes of the world it should appear satisfactory anil
to this end earnestly and steadfastly she endeavor- to show her son-in-law
in the most favorable light to outsiders.
Where a matrimonial quarrel can be traced to a mother-in-law. it
almost always is not the wife's mother, but the other mother-in-law who
is to blaine.
"Your son is your son till he gets him a wile.
But your daughter's your daughter all the days of her life."
The sentiment embodied in these lines is one which deepl
grained in the hearts of women. It is queer, but true, that wl
women sire willing, not to say anxious, to have their daughter
there scarcely can be found any who thinks that any other woman is quite
good enough for her son. The vast majority of mothers feel more or less
jealousy of their sons' wives. Most of them hide this jealousy as best
tliov can. many of them cordially welcome the woman of their son s
I choice, bill to win the heart <•>f her husband's mother a wife must do her
whole duty, nor expect toleration of mistakes still less
of misdeeds. It usually is the case that si son-in-law
will he forgiven much, while a daughter-in-law strictly
is held to account.
The prejudice against mothers-in-law is a mod-
em one. for which Thackeray largely is responsible.
The mothers-in-law whom he portrays are drawn with
lampblack and acid, and it is difficult to see how any
man, though endowed with the patience of Job, could
dwell in peace and harmony with such women a- those

By JAMES J. BARTCHER
Always have the window up. or else
down from the top. but novel let the breeze
blow directly across the bed when you are
sleeping. It chills the blood, which stops
its free circulation, thus giving disease a
chance.
Deep breathing feeds the blood with
oxvgetu cools the system and carries off
carbonic ac'd gas. which is poison. Car-
bonic acid gas creates heat, thus causing
fat l'at is degenerated muscle. Thus
deep breathing kills fat in and about the
chest and heart and creates muscle in its
stead. The chest and stomach become
stronger, do their work better and the good work continues, with ton-
tinned practice, throughout the entire system.
Water helps the stomach to assimilate the I'o.nl end help- the how-
els to eliminate the waste. Finis one imbibes oxygen by water and by
deep breathing- a double beiiefil.
