FiRST STAGES OF CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which Thou

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as "catching cold. " It

Its Ix' inuinj : is sonu-times so severe as to
cause a chill and considerable fever , or it
may be so slight as to not hinder a per-
son from his usual business. In perhaps
n majority of cases little or no attention
Is paid to the first stage of catarrh , and
hence it is that nearly one-half of the peo
ple have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as any one disxovnrs

and the cold is sure to pass away with
out leaving any bad effects.
Unless this is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage of ca
tarrh , which is making so many lives
miserable. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cold or cough , chronic
atarrh would be practically an un-

What Women Admire in a Man.
There seems to be no limit to the
ugliness a mail may possess without.c
in anyway lessening the chances of a
woman loving him. How often one
sees a really beautiful woman mated
to an exceptionally ugly man , and vice
versa. A man may be crippled , hide
ous , deformed , and yet find a woman
who will gladly share his lot , and for
this reason women are often sneered
at by people who suppose them to be
so anxious to marry that they are not
in the least fastidious as to whom they
take.
Here they are completely at fault ,
for love with a woman is not half so
often induced by good looks as by oth
er qualities Avhich compel her admira
tion far more strongly. In the first
place the chief thing which women
admire in a man is strength , both
moral and physical , and perhaps next
she admires most the quality of cour
age , for a man who is afraid seems to
a woman at once the most extraordi
nary and miserable creature on the
face of the earth.
Another thing she greatly admires Is
determination , and that is the reason
why persistence generally wins in the
end , though she will try it to its utmost
limit.
Sometimes she admires less striking
qualities in a man ; she will think that
a certain bearishness toward other
people is a quality to be proud of , pro
vided he is always kind and tender to
ward herself. She often imagines that
rough manners are a sign of strength ,
and therefore does not mind his speak
ing to other people in a rude , bullying
fashion.
Masterfulness is a characteristic that
excites her deep , though perhaps se
cret , admiration , and she despises in
her heart of hearts the husband who
invariably allows her to get the upper
hand. No henpecked husband was
ever looked upon except with contempt
by his wife , and it is a certain thing
that if he had but the confidence to
resist her to her face she would , as a
rule , be only too delighted to take sec
ond place without a murmur. New
York News.
The Bride's Crucial Moment.
But in the ascending scale of life
marriage is not merely the romantic
mating of two people ; it is a spiritual
union , occult and difficult to define ,
composed of two distinct intelligences ,
neither of which can withdraw or dom
inate the other without injury to the '
relationship.
And the lack of right-mindedness in
the wife when the honeymoon days
are over spoils as many marriages as
frailties in the husband do. Obliged
by the very nature of things to dis
pense with her bridal ideals , the ques '
tion is , what course she will pursue.
And everything depe-uds upon her de
cision , for she will either adjust her
self to the situation with the egotism
of a martyr , seek consolation in her
children , religion or society , or she
Will wisely accept the bargain she has
made for happiness with the deter
mination to realize upon it in spite of
all newly discovered human limita
tions.
And here begins her university
course in the philosophy of life ; a phil
osophy which not only recognizes the
disposition of one particular man in its
variations from that of mankind in
general , but disciplines her own to '
match and mate it. And there is-the
rub.

Smiles nnd Their Meaning : .
Some one has suggested that words
were invented for the purpose of con-
cealing thought , but there are situa-
tions when words are unavailing and
it is necessary to have recourse to an-
other method for concealing thought.
This is where smiles are useful. Now ,
there is nothing worthy of remark
about a smile when the natural result .
of a pleasant thought , but the climax
of art has been reached when one has
learned to smile under circumstances
when language if a true expression
of thought would be decidedly objecs'
tionable.
Smiles have a peculiar charm. They
can accomplish wonders in an argu-
e
ment , especially tf the smiler possesses
rosy lips and pearly teeth. "SmileD
for the lady" is familiar nursery par
lance , and when Baby smiles it is
genuine. But , once beyond the years n
of babyhood , one can never be per v
fectly certain of the true value of a. tl

EGirls autl Ttte--r Speakine Voices. k
"How many tflrh ever give thought
to the pitch and timbre of their tiw
voices ? " asks Harper's Bazar.
"Straight figures , good complexion , an c.ti
easy , supple carriage , white teeth and tiM
tif
well-kept hair and nails are all deserv
f :
edly striven for why not an agreeable
voice ? A girl can do much to coun
teract what may seem a naturally bad
voice. Nine times out of ten it is bad
because of careless habits formed
through ignorance. The pitch of the w
voice is most important , and if this is b <
high the work of lowering it should be an
once attempted. Stop frequently in it
the course of your daily talk with your ii
family or intimate friends , and catch m
the t echo of your voice it will be easy
to t go on then two or three tones low
. er. Soon the right pitch will become
habitual 1 a great point gained. A
, pleasant voice may be cultivated , too ,
like 1 a pleasant expression , if suliicU'iit
care and watchfulness are had. If the
voice tones are nasal there is probably
some upper throat or nostril obstruc
tion often one very simple and easily
removed by a physician. If voice cul
ture lessons can be taken this should
be done , but without any expert teach
ing , a young person's voice is amen
able to modification and improvement
through simple care on the part of its
owner. "
Why Women Worry.
If a woman is to protect herself from
the ravages of worry , aiid'so retain her
youth for a longer period , she mist
come into more frequent contact with
other people as her husband doe-s
and read good books ; she must relieve
the monotony of her duties and the
limiting influence of confinement with
in four walls by taking outdoor exer
cises a walk every day or a spin on
a bicycle ; in short , she must exercise
the body and mind in a healthful man
ner , and she will find the bloom of
youthand health remain with her for
- years after it has faded in other wom
en of the same. age.
"The ordinary woman , " says a cele
brated physician , "leads such a monot
onous existence that her mind has no
occupation but worry. What she needs
is to come out of herself much more
than she does. She must have int-'r-
course with more people and take more
exercise. This can be done without
neglecting the home , and every right-
minded man will do his best to secure
for his mother , or his sister , or his
wife , these aids to the retention of
youthfulness of body and mind. "
Pairan Marriage Customs.
How little the fashionable bride in
the smart set to-day realizes that all
of the wedding customs of the present
are rooted in the pagan past. The
barbaric bridegroom procured bis mate
by one of two methods capture or pur
chase. We speak even now of "captur
ing" a bride , and "purchase" is not
wholly unknown. In the former the
groom started upon the warpath with
some chosen companion , who .insisted
him in seizing the woman ; whence
cometh the custom of having a "best
man. "
The dainty gold ring of to-day is a
'relic of the fetter by which the bride
was bound , while the jocose slipper is
a remnant of the missiles hurled by the
angry parents.
The orange blossoms came in a more
civilized age , though not Christian. The
veil , as still in modern Oriental" conn-
tries , typifies exclusive possession by
one man.

Washinsr Flannels.

on the flannels and do not nib the

same ' temperature ; rinse through water
that does not contain soap ; wring dry.
shake vigoreusly and dry quickly. Iron
