STRONG EJTLUENCE AGAINST IT Examples of Economic and Social Lou that Follow the Practice ' aad Statement of a Lead , In a; Hindoo. By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX :" A California lady, . Mrs. Caroline Wal lace, has spent many years In Indta hop ing to awaken the minds of the people there to the evil of child marriage. . At first the efforts seemed almost hopeless, for only a few of the educated and ' progressive men were" Interested in her Ideas; bat with the assistance of an other. American, Miss Carrie Tennant, ah kept on In her work. Every year the movement has grown; and In a letter Just received Mrs. Wal lace says:. "All India is waking up to all' the modern ideas of progress. Every time one. of India's great men, its edu cated, rich and powerful men, speaks on these 'subjects, it makes a profound im pression on the masses." ' India has the foolish custom of many other . Oriental . countries, of spending much money on ceremonies supposed to better the condition of dead ancestors. J And' it uses extravagant sums in mar. riage ceremonies for its girls;, girls of five' or ten years of age ofttimes. Children of .that. age do not usually live with their husbands; . but the expense of the wed ding is no less because of that fact. Girls of ten frequently do become actual wives, however, and actual mothers at twelve and thirteen. And' the Infants born of these early To Overcome Sunburn, Tan, Frekcles, Wrinkles (From Outdoor Life.) It you are freckled, tanned or sunburnt, dab a liberal amount of mercollzed wax on the face and allow it to remain over night- When you wash off the wax in the morning, fine, flakey, almost invisible particles of cuticle come with it Repeat ing this daily, the entire outer skin is "absorbed, but so gradually, there's not the slightest hurt or inconvenience. Even the stubborn eat freckles yield to; this treatment. - The undelying skin which forms the new complexion is so fresh and youthful-looking you'll marvel - at the transformation, it's the only thing I know to actually discard an aged, faded, muddy or blotchy complexion. It is also good for arms, hands and neck.. One ounce of- mercolised wax, procurable at any drug store, is sufficient in most cases. If sun and wind make you squint and frown, you're bound to cultivate wrinkle and , erow'sfeet To ' overcome these, 1 bathe the face in a solution made by dis solving an ounce of powdered saxollte.ln ball pint witch hazel. marriages are weakly, - and many die early; and that is why India has de generated as a nation in the last few cen turies. The evils which are entailed by these child marriages are to innumerable to mention. Only education can do away with the custom, which originated with the Mohammedan Invasion of India, and which was not sanctioned by their own religions, yet has been allowed to exist In spite of them. Here is one story of un early .marriage in India which can be duplicated by the hundred thousand. The young bridegroom is referred to as "A." A is the oldest son of his father, rwho worked in a merchant's office at Cal cutta on a monthly salary of 50 rupees, and lived in a rented house at Kallghat A passed the entrance examination in the first division and got a scholarship-. He was admitted Into the Presidency college and went on very well. One day his father's mother urged on his father to get him married, as she must see the face of lier grand-daughter-in-law before her final departure for Benares. A's mother also" Joined in the prayer. A's father at last agreed, and A was married to a girl of 10 while he was only 16 years of age, and got a handsome dowry. Within a year of the marriage, when the wife was 11, she gave birth to a daughter, and at the age of 13 she was mother of three children. The parents of a wife are expected to bestow handsome presents on the parents of the liusband; and this wife received insults and coldness and disagreeble treatment because her parents were not able to do this. And the young husband failed in his examinations through his home worries, and lost his health be sides. Nevertheless, his bigoted grand mother urged the early marriage of his brother and a similar condition followed. Kai Bahadur Chandra Ghose, one of India's brilliant men, related these stories in a lecture, and continued as follows: "It is indeed the highest folly to marry before you are competent to take care of yourself and family. Economically speaking, early marriage Is a great blunder, for as soon as you get mar ried you take many great responsibil ities on your shoulders. With the Hindu the burden is heavier, as he Is generally a member of the Joint family. To an outsider it may seem Just otherwise, but that Is not so. By marrying you create certain necessities which had no" ex lrtence before. "And as marriage among us is closely followed by childbirth, our needs and requirements Increase steadily, Incomes, however, remaining the same. Children born of Immature parents are subject to frequent attacks of diseases which tell severely upon the shattered health of the girl-mother, who .has got to nurse them; and it so happens that, doctor's monthly bills 'are hardly covered by the monthly salary of the breadwinner of the family, who has no capital to fall back upon, and so runs into debt "Now the gloom f poverty hangs upon the family and the early-married youth, compelled to seek means for sup plementing .the Income of the family. In our country there is hardly any oc cupation for a half educated youth in the technical or Industrial sphere. He has no money to start with on a trading venture. Consequently he must have to secure a post in some office on a poor monthly pittance. "Thus you see how our young men are taken away from their books so early and compelled to hug the trammels of service. There, in the dark cell of his office the grave of his aspiration fearfully overworked, the young en thusiast is doomed to pats the rest of his days in endless misery and gloom." Only, a few years ago no man in In dia would have dared make such a speech, and so defy and accuse tradition There is hope for India now its thinking men are awake, and a few of its women. All will awaken in time. Corn is Catching Up With Itself Again "There is no portion of South Dakota or Minnesota that has not had seasonable showers and an abundance of rain dur ing the past month," says General Man ager Watters of, the Northwestern, who just returned from an extensive ' trip. "The result has been that crops have pushed ahead as never before. One of the biggest crops of small grain ever harvested, has been secured and now corn, pushed by - moisture and warm weather is growing as It never grew be fore. It has fully reached the normal condition for this time of year and now j it looks as it a bumper crop is certain. "The pastures and the meadows are fresh and green, looking much like they did in May. Fruit trees are loaded with' fruit of all kinds and everywhere the apple crop indicates that It Is going to be the heaviest in years. Potatoes and all kinds of vegetables are abundant everywhere and the quality is as good as I have ever seen. "The conditions noted do not apply to any one section, but, are general the country over."
