MAXIE MILLER:
My husband has takn to smoking a
pipe. I didn’t mind cigarettes and I
could make out with cigars, but a
pipe is my cup. My husband scents
up the whole house with his old pipe.
He smokes it in the bathroom and the
scent remains there, all the day.
When he comes near me I'm inclind
to push him away, and it’s so hard
for me to kiss him with this tobacco
on his breath. He gets cross when
I pull away from him, and he makes
threats if I push him ^way. What
shall I do? Catherine.
Catherine: You have my sympathy
for I too hate a pipe. Once I admir
ed a man who smoked a pipe and yet
I refused to associate with him on
that account. My advice would be to
sit down and quietly but frankly tell
your husband how you feel and urge
him to give up the pipe.. If he loves
you, he will not persist in annoying
you. That’s about all you can do, in
this case. —MAXIE MILLER.

HEROES UNSUNG
by A. B. MANN
Widowed Mothers
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Her husband came to an untimely
end and left her with five children.
The man had provided for his family
while he lived, but left them nothing
at his death, which was premature
and unexpected. She had come to
take up the burden of making a living
and of training the children. At
times she had not enough to eat. For
months at a time, she could not go
out in public, because of insufficient
clothing. She worked day and night.
She had opportunity to get married,
but she feared the step.father would
be unkind to her children. So, she
remained single, and remained a
slave; but she reared and educated
those children and sent them out into
the world to serve humanity.
Who is she? She is just one of
many thousands of faithful, widowed
mothers who have sacrificed all for
the good of their children. Their
lives and sacrifices did not “make
copy” for newspapers. Sometimes
they were called fools, because of
their devotion to their children.
Sometimes they were neglected and a_
bused by the children for whom they
suffered. Sometimes the burdens
seemed too heavy to bar, and they be_
came faint beneath the load. But
they won their»fight by dint of will
and determination. No monuments

vicariously for others. All honor to

FIRE ALARMS CAN SAVE
MILLIONS
The fire department of a city in the
middle west, with a population of
thirty lliousand, reported to the Nat_
ional Board of Fire Underwriters
that two large fires accounted for 90
per cent of the city's total loss for
one year. One fire was in a church
and resulted in a loss of $232,864. The
other was in a school, and the pro_
perty damage was 095,749.
Both fires were at an advanced
stage before they were discovered.
Both were out of control when the
firemen reached the scene. Exper_

Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, the workl-known authority on Sexology
and Director of the Institute f<y Sexual Science of Berlin, Germany^
created
TITUS-PEARLS
to help the millions of men and women who have lost or are losing
their Vital physical power. In his 35 years of practice and research,
however, he realized that the weakening of man's glands was also
responsible for other troubles: High blood pressure, hardening of
the arteries, physical exhaustion after work or exercise, dizziness,
depression, neurasthenia, etc.
All these troubles can be removed with Titus-Pearls. Numerous
cases were treated by Dr. Hirschfeld in his Berlin Institute.
L. S. (State Official; 60 years old, married) complained of
physical exhaustion, dizziness and tremors. Was easily tired. Mental
power duH and slow moving. Physical powers had been incomplete
for previous 5 years. Blood pressure too high. Given 2 Titus-Pearls
3 times a day. 2 weeks later the medical report on this man was-_
general health better, more vigor; dizziness much less and returning
of power. Treatment continued and 2 weeks later L. S. reported
again, this time to say that all weariness and exhaustion had gone
he felt fresh and buoyant. His blood pressure had fallen, and at 60
years of age he had regained the physical power and virilitv that
he had known in trie prime of his life.

turned in shortly after fires originate
and while they are still in an incip.
ient stage, the firemen can usually
extinguish them before great damage
has been done. This is possible when
an automatic alarm system is install,
de in the building. With such a sys.
tern the alarm quickly reaches fire
headquarters, allowing the apparatus
to arrive in the shortest time possible.
It would be interesting to note the
actual relation of delayed alarms to
the total annual fire loss of the na_
tion. Although no accurate method
of doing this presents itself, informa,
tion has been compiled in many cities,
'showing that numerous serious firea
take place at night when they have
an opportunity to burn for consider,
able time before discovery. Investi.
gators invariably state that if a sys.
tem of automatic alarm had been in
use, losses woud have been smaller.
Certainly large structures where
great values are gathered together in
one building, and others where the
possibility of life loss is unusual,
snould be equipped with a system
which automatically detects fire and
immediately relays the alarm to the
fire department.
