Remarriage and
Its Consequences
By LOTJISB RKIXOEB.B.
There seem at the moment to be aa
epldemie of remarriages.
Tou can hardly pick up a paper or meet
a friend without discovering that soma
gay widower or widow-ess Is prepared
to don the motley, of -matrimony again
and adventure afresh Into those Elyslan.
Celds commonly associated by the mar
ried and the cynical with nightmare.
I don't' know whether an earnest desire
to help the nation is at the bottom of
this remarrying erase, or whether It Isn't
merely eelflshnees.

twice when so many people haven't the
cnancs to marry at all, I don't know
what Is.
Although 1, for one, don't pretend to
nnderstand the sudden eruption of seo
ond loves, rve always understood that
marriage was like the wedding cake that
preoedea It frightfully Indigestible and
not half so fruity aa it looks.
I've had aulta a lot r it f
'lately cake. I mean, not metrimonv
and although, according to time-honored
tradition, I've placed each bit beneath
my pillow to ensure a dream portrait of
my future husband, I've dreamt of a dif
ferent man each time.
Bo I suppose I'm enlnr to Mmmit Ki
amy.. It's too much to hope every, hue-
Dana win conveniently die at the rate
of one a year and leave me the neceaaary
to buy a freah trouaseau.
Tor I expect the marrying hebtt grows
on one. really. One husband la a prepa
ration for a doaen. Once you've itved
with one man. If the devil himself popped
down the chimney to share your break
fast of bacon or grape nuts, you'd prob
ably find him a pleasant change from
wtdowedneea.
There are women, of course, who seem
to. prefer euddllng Pomeranians to any
husband, but I think this preference
arises solely from the fac that they
haven't been asked to change the
estate, and anyway, they must euddle
something.
If I were a first husband now, or a
first wife, I think I Should look very
dubiously upon all my club acquaintances
or dearest friends. Somewhere here, I
should feel Inclined to say to myself,
"Standa No. I." for with the remarry
ing habit so fashionable, nobody could

than It takes to get the house refurn

.. The artist who scratches away in black and white, and Is looked -upon
enviously by the ashcan man, groans while he (r she) "gets
out" a drawing while all the rest of the world Is asleep, "I can't get
time to write to my own father I'm so busy!"
The man who labors at night seems never to come out even,
and is "so busy." The lawyer who can yet get away for a tiny game
of golf when he feels as dry as dust with the welghtiness of his
calling Is all that "too busy" to do thus and so!
The big man with five telephones circling him 'round, who dab
bles in this and that, lectures, fills a good big niche of his own 1n
the world and shows a great army under him how to fill
theirs Is "too busy" to remember not to go on to a dinner in his
"duster!" And the little man under him, who has but one thing
to do, and is told when and how to do that, is yet "too busy to eat!"
Aren't we funny? I reckon you think that no one Is Just quite
ao busy as you! It's a notion we hare.

Chlorine in Peace and War
By WOODS niTCHIMOft, M D.
Men are not the only things that lead a
double life. All our Insect friends, for
instance, lead triple existences, each
stage of which is completely hidden from
the other.
That fellow creature of the chorua girl,
the lobster, passes through a dosen dif
ferent moults before he reaches the Great
White Way, while that distant poor rela
tion of ours, the angle worm, can be out
with the scissors into as many sections
as he Is Inches Ions and grow a new
head and tall on each one.
But the most astounding masquerading,
in the most different anu contradictory
of guises upon the world stage. Is that
of those Innocent and passionless crea
tures the chemical elements. In one
guise a deadly poison. In the other a llfe
glvlng food; in one sort of company a
soggy mush. In another a dangerous high
explosive.
' One great primitive element nitrogen,
plays the leading role In guano at one
end of Its repertoire and gunpowder at
the other, and can paas Itself off as
loaves or as lyddite with equal facility.
Another element, hydrogen, one of the
big four carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitro
genwhich make and control life and all
Its prooessee. la the cause of all the wet
ness In the world through Its two-to-one
combination with oxygen to form water.
While In another case the same two

star, oalctnm, produce the hot teat fire

limelight. Whatever may be the fortune
of others, these two actors are always
In the limelight
1 In recent years our attention -has been
Particularly attracted to another Jekytf-and-Hyde
among the elements the wide
spread and Important element, chlorine.
This subs tan oe. In various combinations,
was first discovered la see. watsr, and
as It goes everywhere where eea water
goes, which means over three-fourths of,
the surface of the whole globe, while
moat of the rooks of the other or dry
land, one-fourth, have been laid down
under sea water. It la tolerably ublqul
toua, or In the vernacular "numerous."
As ws originally grew up and lived for
millions of years In sea water we have
never yet been able to get oompletely
soaked out and "freshened up" yet, and
chlorine In a considerable amount stiU Is
found In our bodies, particularly la the
fluids.
We srs all old salts, whether we follow
the sea for a living or not. Whether this
is simply a bad old deep see or sub
msrlns habit which we rennot at once
shake off. like the atavisms to shark
and sea serpent ' form" of the past few
months, or whether chlorine has become
a vital necessity would be hard to eay.
Certainly Its oomblnatlon with sodium,
chloride of sodium, the common salt of
our table aad our pickling vata, has be
come a neoesslty of life. There Is still
some mystery about It, because while
common salt. Is found In practically every
living animal tissue and most vegetable
It does not enter Into Intimate combina
tion with the life-stuff, or protoplasm,
but only seems to serve with water as
a salt watsr bath or warm Inland aea In
which It can swim and feed and carry
out Its activities. It seems to serve as a
kind of battery fluid for our life elec
trical processes, and the moment the
supply of salt Is cut off our health suf
fers at once.
With all our long, long dry land and
air breathing habits we are still a walk
ing aquarium, traveling marine menage
ries, miniature oceans on legs, skin
locked seaa, living leather bottles of
warm sea water In human shape. The
moment our supply of either water or
salt runs short we begin to founder.
Although tble action of sea-salting our
Internal bath water may sound rather
vague and trivial, especially aa our cells
do not sat or burn salt, or take It Into
their structure In any way, yet It Is
really of very great and fundamental
Importance.
For the simple reason that we are
coming more and more to the conclusion
that the real motive forces of life are
electrical, or closely allied thereto, and
as one great chemical physiologist has
vividly expressed it: "It Is the electro
lytee that put life Into the protoplasm
Olfe-atufr)."
That Is to say, those subetanoea which
are capable of carrying electrical charges
backward and forward between the dif
ferent parts of the body. And of these
the moat Important and active are hydro
gen, sodium and chlorina, all three of
common salt, or sodium chloride.
