In his endeavor to secure a position;

sits stolidly through his wife's tears
and reproaches. She parts with all
her treasures at the insistence of the
clamoring tradesmen. This goes on
year after year despite her pleadings,
until she awakes to the realization
that it is easier to pass a camel
through a needle's eye than to reform
a spendthrift. When a couple Is
courting a girl should study a man's
habits and not accept gifts which be
cannot afford. The lover inclined to
be too liberal can be checked in time

The desire of the moth for the star.
Of the nl&ht for the morrow.
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow.
Parents who are so eager for their
daughters to marry that they consent
to their taking on the matrimonial
yoke at the age of sixteen years may
have many a year to regret having
given their sanction. Where the bride-
groom is also very young, a mere
youth, the blame cannot be put upon
his shoulders. Touthlike. be sees •

Many a wrii meaning young man
wrars out bis welcome with the girls
by failing to keep bis appointments
on the etenlngs they are exporting
him to rail He thinks any old ex-
cuse will satisfy th* young ladles, but
be soon wakes up to the fact that
girls might be fooled once or twice,
but after ihat they sum him up for
just what be is—• free lance, to whom
one girl Is quite m attractive as an-
other.
He soon finds that these girls to
whom be comes with a patcbed-up
apology are not borne. Of course this
state of affairs brings him lo a reall
ration of bis fault but It is too late
lo mend matters.
Most m«-n hold the key of their
own i>opuUrity. It Is for them to use
It wisely or to abuse the privilege.
When he knows he is at fault, in-
stead of saying. "What is the use?"
he should write a note, frankly ao
knowiedging his error and humbly su-
ing for pardon.
Where he would find one girl re-
sentful and unwilling to be friends
with him. he would come across maKy
others who would be willing to meet
the situation half way and give him
another chance. The young man may
not be so much at fault after all.
One or two visits may have sufficed
to show him that the girl has taken
too much of a fancy to ; a fact
which he deems wisest an- best to
discourage. Again, he may infer that
he may be led on merely to pique
some lover who is off the track and
to show him that there are plenty of
other beaux she can get. In a case
-of this kind a man is certainly Justi-
fied In absenting himself on reason-
able grounds.
Even the most fickle of men do
not relish playing second fiddle. He
may be too honest to lead a girl on
to hope wben he knows that there is
every chance against his being able
to support a wife, especially if the
girl is hinting about many of ber
friends marrying on short acquaint-
ance. No man likes to have a girl
/orce the situation in that matter.
It is not to be wondere<J that a man
is sometimes frightened away when
he has just begun to take an Inter-
est in the young lady. There has
been no time for his esteem for her
to grow into a warmer sentiment. He
knows that on one or two calls she
could not have developed • sincere,
deep liking for him.
Then, again, there are girls who
do not hold a man's interest very long.
They talk upon frivolous subjects, or
get up learned discourses that take
too much brain work to follow. A
man who has listened to subjects of
these kinds which do not interest him
in the least takes his hat and his
departure as soon as he can find a
lull in the conversation. In small
towns a young man soon runs through
the list of places to visit. If he is not
in love with any girl, he takes the
situation in good part, and thaffks his
stars tbat there is not a home which
he is obliged to visit.

deliberately to start out to achieve a
comprehensive understanding of any
given subject, and we really haven't
the time to do that If this were not
the real situation It la very obvloua
that most of our physical and social
ilia would speedily be corrected.
So long as Individual nutrition Is
abundant Individual development pro-
ceeds, but at the slightest hint of dan-
ger to the individual through arrest of
nutrition reproduction is hastened.
Life Is very flexible and very per-
sistent and will not be cut off. On
every band we have evidence of this
principle. Trees always die first at
tiie top, but It fs at the top, too. tbat
they first flower and mature their fruit
This principle will be found operative
all through the vegetable kingdom and
It is the same with animals. Including
the human animal.
Rapidly growing plants and animals
do not reproduce, and it is not until
the ability to absorb nutrition is
checked—tbat is to My, not until the
cellB have reached the limit of nutil
tion absorption, or until normal growth
aqd maturity is reached—that repro-
duction is possible. Here again we
find the same phenomena: The poorest
and most starved and puny are the
most prolific. And It Is the same with
the human race.
It is among the poor and the under-
fed In our city slu»s or in the inferior
producing sections of the country that
you will find the least Indications of
"race suicide." By keeping this idea
in mind we shall not be surprised to
discover that among the highly
nourished rich families in the better
parts of our cities and on the highly
productive soil of the country In gen-
eral we find but few children in the
family. This Is a universal biologic
law well worth the consideration of
some of our eminent "statesmen." The
phenomenon of a decreasing birth rate
confronts every nation progressing In
well distributed wealth, and it is not
a matter to be reached by legislation.
Only starvation will correct it, and
conversely a perfectly logical way to
exterminate the slums of our large
cities would be to feed the inhabitants.
The slums would not then "swarm
with HI nourished children." because
nature, recognizing life to be secure
from danger of starvation, automatic-
ally would reduce the number repro-
luced, just as she does in the corn
field, the flower bed, the apple orchard
or among the wild weeds of the field
or the forest.
Obviously it is easy now to apply
this same universal law of propagation
to the billions of individual lives that
constitute our bodies, provided we
have trained ourselves to think
straight From the instant of Impreg.

the disease In different epidemics.
In one batchery more than (0 per
cent of the tumors showed tbe struc-
ture of csrclnoma, while In an epi-
demic encountered In another locality
the growth was in general more like a
slmplt goiter.
Marine and Lenbart endeavored, by
a comprehensive series of experi-
ments, to discover any possible con-
nection between the ordinary goiter of
fish and animals and the so-called can-
cerous affections of the thyroid gland.
They discovered that young fish were
more affected than the old, that the
glandular enlargements were checked
by tbe addition of Iodine to the water
of the pool and that the removal of
tho fish to an open brook effected a
cure. These investigators consider the
tumors to be directly related to the
water supply, but do not accept the
prevailing opinion that tbe disease Is
true cancer.
They consider that there are three
factors which, in some way still ob-
scure, Influence thyroid enlargement,
namely, limited water supply, over-
crowding, and overfeeding with a high-
ly artificial and Incomplete food. They
found the water of the hatchery was
not Intrinsically goiter-producing, be-
cause flsh did not develop the disease
unless one of these other factors was
also in operation. That is to say, the
flsh must either be fed with an in
complete food, or the pool must be
overcrowded with flsh, which In tho
end amounts to practically the same
thing, In order to produce the disease.
And if the incomplete food was re-
placed by a complete food or the over-
crowding was corrected, then recovery
todk place even though the flsh re-
mained in tbe same pool.
The significance of the above to hu-
manity lies In the fact that so far as
fish are concerned the water of the
stream Is synonymous with food, be-
cause normally flsh derive their oxy-
gen and all other food matter directly
from the water In which they live;
hence; If too many Individuals are
crowded into a given pool or the water
normally does not carry sufficient ma-
terial to maintain the group the weak-
er and less alert must inevitably suffer
a deficiency of necessary elements.
Whether these glandular enlarge-
ments resulting from food deficiencies
are or are not true cancer is not ma-
terial at this time, because we do not
yet know whether cancer begins as a
malignant growth or whether a simple
hypertrophy or enlargement Is, in
some way not yet understood, convert-
ed into a malignant disease. But.
granting that they begin as simple be-
nign enlargements, as they undoubted-
ly do, we do not know and are gen-
erally quite unable to determine at
what stage an enlargement changea
from the benign Into the malignant
type. Every enlargement should be
viewed with suspicion and concern
and should receive prompt attention
at the hands of some competent per-
son. This care should also extend to
all hypertrophies; that is to say. to
all and any enlargements or thicken-
ings of tissues anywhere tn tbe body,
whether it be n gland or only the tie
sues of tbe none, because these hy-
pertrophies or thickenings ladlcats a

ERADICATING PESTS
PURINfi THE WINTER
Little Extra Work During Cold
Weather Season Will Save
Trees From Codling Moth.
Rabbits do many hundred dollars' of
damage to orchardists, nurserymen
and gardeners every year. In view of
the damage they do it would seem bet-
ter to offer a bounty for their destruc-
tion than to Impose a fine for so doing.
In winter where they are very numer-
ous they kill many young trees every
year. Older trees of eight inches in
Jiameter and upwards are seldom dis-
turbed unless the rabbits are closely
pressed for food.
A good way to protect young fruit
trees from injury by these pests is to
procure sectlonVof stovepipe, slit them
lengthwise and pass them around the
body of the tree. Secure the pipe to its
natural shape by means of a strong
itring tied about it, and press the low-
er end an inch or two into the soil.
rhis method la very effective, but
night be found slightly expensive to
the large orchardlst who hss several
kundred trees to protect. To the farm-
er with only a dozen or two trees to
jive protection It Is a cheap and con-
renlent method of keeping the rabbit
iway.
Remember that mice do' almost as
nuch damage per year as rabbits and
if the slit In the pipe be close fitted
ifter it is put around the tree, and the
)ipe pressed well into the soil, it will
>e Just as impossible for mice to g«!t to
he tree as rabbits. Keep the orchard tree,
"ree of hollow logs, tree tops, tail
reeds or grass, rail or tile piles or any
tther places where rabbits are apt to
tequent. and get every one on the
able you can.
During fall and winter, when tha
trees are bare, is a good time to rid all
trees of the cocoons or nests of nu-
merous insects. They are then easily
discernible and may be removed irom
the branches or trunks of trees with
little trouble. A little extra work dur-
ing the winter will save many treea
from destruction by the codling moth.
It is the larvae or young of this insect
that are responsible for our wormy ap-
ples. Even the work of removing
tbe cocoons will not suffice, but It
will help. The spring treatment is to
spray with an arsenical poison, paris
green or arsenate of lead, immediately
after the petals fall, using three
pounds of arsenate of lead to SO gal-
lons of bordeaux mixture or of water.
If paris green Is used it Bhould be at
the rate of from six to eight ounces to
each 50 gallons of spray. This spray-
ing should be repeated in about ten
days. Where the second brood of
codling moth causes damage, a fur-
ther spraying should be given, in lati-
tudes about parallel with northern In-
diana in the latter part of July, and
la latitudes like southern Indiana
about two weeks earlier. The first
codling moth spraying given Just after
the petals fall, should be as thorough
as it can possibly be made. Try to
get some of the poison in the open
calyx throat of every blossom on tho
