By ADA PATTKKMOX. "Tlierc's no secret iihmji pnicnss it marriage," said n famous man on the occasion of the golden anniversary of hlrt redding;. Yet by his next words he proved that there Is a secret, a double secret, of Fin h happiness and he gave It. "My wife has always lot me alone on orcnlins and I have let her alone. Then when the I needed help rhe asked me what she could do for me and did tt. When she was not exactly pleased with anything I asked her what I could do to help her. That's all." 11 of the secret of happiness In mar riage! All of what all the writers and philosophers and poets and p'.aywrluhts, all the married anil unmarried, are atrlv liK after and of which some are ready to iihandon the r ur.-li In despair. There n'e many persons In marriage, and some out of it. who are convinced that happi ness cannot be found in that slate, only resignation. Here comes the man who ends their doubts. Happiness In consideration, the two kinds, passive and active. In the wedded state consists In .judicious letting elone and ji: t rr ; i'ttt: ni' at.s. st ance. Think that ocr. reminds me of what a great editor said to me about newspaper work. It has but two arts, how to make a big thin of a little thins and a T" t tie thini; or a hli one. Tho woman who knows when to use a padlock of silence Is the mistress of prac tically any matrimonial ait.iation. For ill timed words are oil 0:1 the ftanvs of d:rord. They arc tho fat in the fire. They are salt In wounds. They arc din 10 tired nerves, a h-avy hand tiptm a hurt. The man who knows that to ask a tired woman. "Why 'did you do this?" Is to ir.ake her want It hurl dishes st him doesn't say It. He waits until she Is d. smiling, unhurried, at ponce with world.

But there ore other times when It says, "Peace, be still, to whirling winds of tho soul, es pecially If there be children in the house hold. There are men should we call them so? who think it unmanly, beneath their lordly dignity, to help take care of the children. Such men should deny them selves parenthood. It to a strange lop sided world that permits women to lit erally slave themselves to death, In tak ing care of children, and allows men to look upon the little ones aa mere dis turbers of their rest, creatures that "raise a row while a man is trying to read his newspaper." I know a bank president and treasurer of one of the richest and most populous counties of the east, whom I have seen pushing the perambulator In his home block while the nurse took the older chil dren to shop, I have seen him spreading apple butter on thick slices of buttered bread while his wife was at a church so cial and the housemaid wm on an errand, to appease their after school pangs of hunger. He Is one of the best business men and most Intelligent and prominent citizens in his part of the state. I should bo sorry for any poor whlpper snapper who deserved punishment at Ms hands. They are big and strong enough to crush yet tender enough to wipe away tears of 1 child. Heaven ble the men who are manly -nough to offer their help to women. nd heaven equally bless the woman who ui..es tender orrers or her sympathetic help to the man, her man, whan needs It. 1 1 1 The Strange Case of Mary Page" At the request of the Essanay com prany, which will produce the story in film form, the publication of the serial, "The strange Case of Mary Page," is Jeferred for one week.

TTho, with her partner, Norval Baptie, is a great attraction in "Castle-in-tlie-Alr" atop the Forty-fourth Street theater. The mazurka danced in the ballroom is, as everyone knows, one of the most brilliant and dashing of all the dances. On skates this dance loses nothing of its life and vigor and is skated with all the dash that is generally accorded to the dance. The dance is preceded by three By W OODS HTTCHIXSOX, M. D. One of the moat frequent points of con flict between the rising and the passing generations, between the "wisdom of babes" and the prejudices of parents, is at the table. While children, for the most part, have a cheerful and Indiscriminate enthusiasm for food of all sorts, and a broad and cathollo appreciation of almost every thing that tastes good, gives some resist ance between the tenth and produces a sense of comfortable distension in the interior, yet there are limits and some times sharp ones to their toleration. A youngster with an otherwise hearty natural appetite of sawmill intensity for the paricular things that he especially approves of will suddenly Jib violently at one or more harmless, every-day foods and declare that he cannot eat them he doesn"t like them, and that they even make him sick to look at them or smell them. If the foods happen to bo of common use, and particularly tf they are Inex pensive, there Is likely to be war at once. For the general tendency of parental authority and that crystallised form of stupidity, proverbial philosophy, is thst children must be taught to eat what Is put before them and make no fuss, partly beeauso this, being disagreeable, is good Christian dlspllne for them, and partly in the belief that they should be taught In advance to eat every ordinary kind of food at least, so that he may be able to find something to fill up on in the future days of boarding school or boarding house or public and away from home tables of all sorts snd descriptions. Fortunately s more rational and kind lier spirit is beginning to prevade tho re lations of parents and children, and in stead of deciding the matter offhand snd upon maxims hsnded down from the Ignorance and barbarism of the past, we are willing to take the time and consider and see whether there may not be some reason and ground for this Intense dis like or distaste. Also, it Is gradually dawning upon us, in this as In other fields of education, that it is hardly a rational way to make a child like and do easily the things that It will be necessary for him to do In his later life by making htm hate them while he is young from having them crammed down his throat. As soon as we look at It from this point of view we disqover that there is often good and sufficient reason for many of these childish whims and fancies and dUlikea. Home of them may be the expression of a genuine antipathy and susceptibility to that special food which will last all his life long snd which make that food literally a poison to him in any shape or form In which he can take It. This J-bould all be remembered when preliminary steps, first to the right and. then to the left. It the general rotation is to be toward the right, begin en the right foot and. eountlng tints to the muslo for each stroke, step lightly, with the left foot crossed behind, to A Short stroke of left inside forward, and then, on the next beat of the tnuilo, to Short step on the right inside backward. The fourth step is done by putting down the left foot on tho outward bek ward, and then, on counts five and lis, the dancers jump from the right Inside backward to the left toe-point orossed behind. Children's Food Antipathies your child objects strongly to a partlcu- j that they were good keepers and svall lsr kind of food, and careful Inquiry ; able all winter long In tho dreadful old should be made as to whether ho Just dislikes the taste of It or if it makes him feel uncomfortable If he eat It. If it makes his stomach burn ' or hts heud ache or gives him hives or other itchy conditions of the skin or upsets his bowels, then It is to him a poison food and he should be excused from eaUng it altogether, although encouraged to oc casionally taste a little of It from time to time as he grows older to see whether he Is outgrowing his idiosyncrasy. More commonly, however, -this taste expressed by your child for some food or foods will be an unconscious protest against waste of furnace room. A child's stomach Is smaller in pro portion to his body weight than the adult's la and much smaller in propor tion to the degree of his activity and expenditure of energy, to say nothing of growth. For instance few children under ten can go with comfort and advantage for more than three or four hours without food, while most adults will go five. Grown-ups, 'with their more or less sedentary habits and avoidance of violent excerclse and tough digestion, require or, at least, can utilise considerable amounts of rather coarse, bulky foods, what the farmers call "roughening" or "rough age." Children, on the contrary, have com paratively little use for these bulky hay foods, but, on account of the smallness of their stomaches and the Inoessantness of their activity, require a diet composed ohiefly of nurltious, rather rich, and con centrated, real foods. So that if your child shows a strong antipathy to some particular vegetable, or for the matter of that, other food, there Is usually a reason; there are plenty of other fruits and vegetables) Just as good for balancing his ration, of which he ia safe to like at least two or three. With their unerring Instinct the little rascals will usually eagerly devour sweet fruits or sweet preserves, on account of the sugar in them, which Is the rosiest kind of a food. So, by a Judicious combination of bribery of this description and allowing him to eat his flU once or twice a day of tho two or three fruits and one veg etable which he does like, there will bo no difficulty In keeping htm healthy and growing and he'll come to tho other things in his own good time. For tho matter of that, tho vegetables which are the most frequent eause of war between children and their elders through not necessarily wtaers cabbage and cauliflower, and turnips and onions, and dried pas and beans, are elements of rather doubtful value, even in the adult diet, and would scarcely ever have coma to be considered fit for human food fcsve for their (heapnrss snd the fact In danoing the maaurka tt must bo remembered that each step of tho dance should bo raised lightly from the Ice. Tho spirited and stirring muslo accom panied by tho gracefulness of the dance steps makes a torlllt&nt finish to a skat ing performance of any kind, Tits pictures Must sated shew the nscei ally of absolute freedom with (he skates, so that halaneing even oa the toes ia an oasy accomplishment. Any dance may be brought to per. feotion on tho loo where the freedom of movement is mare evident than tt Is In the mere limited ball room. Hkatln days when nothing green or fresh or sour was to be had for love or money from December to May. They still have their uses under these circumstances, and for those who have digestions like a sawmill, but in many adults' and in most children's stomachs they produce more indigestion than fuel value, and their places are being rapidly taken on our modern tables by lighter. wholesomer and much more appetizing foods, such aa lettuce, celery, tomatoes and the green salads generally. Tho only ones of them that hsve any real nourishment in them, dried peas- green peas are different, digestible and appetising, but of very light food alue and dried beans, hsve such Irritating flavoring extractives in them that tbry can only be eaten to advantage about once a week by adults, outside, of course, of lumber camps or construcUon gangs, where they can burn almost anything. Children can live and thrive on a much more monotonous and restricted diet than adults, providing that they are allowed to select thst diet. If your child wants to eat only three or four foods, ask your doctor If thoee three or four form a balanced ration, and If they do, let him alone, urging him, of course, to make a friendly ex perimental trial of other things from time to time and watch trie result. As a foundation for and accompani ment of other foods, starches that ia. bread, biscuit, crackers, toast, rice, corn meal, potatoes, etc. plsy a heavy and Important part In children's diet. As they are the cheapust of all human foods and the moat In favor with ama teur diet reformers, there is little fear of the poor youngsters not getting enough and more than enough of them. Their genuine food value gives the youngsters a keen, natural appetlta for them in connection with and as a sort of a background and filler for the more attractive, but less substantial fruits, preserves, vegetables and soups, or for those real foods which can only be eaten In smaller amounts, like buttr.r and meat. The best form of all the starchy foods, which for reasons of economy supply nearly two-thirds of the fuel value of our food ration, is good white bread, either plain or toasted. Next oomes the biscuit, If thoroughly baked through and through and with plenty of crisp crust; then crackers, then plain cake and puddings, then pota toes, then corn meal, rice and last of all, mushes and cereals. The value of these last for children has been enormously overrated; the home-made ones are mixed with so much water In the process of preparation for the table and the manufactured ones with so much sir that they htve a very low nutrltl.e value for thtlr bulk. In fact. Is so much more beneficial than Aanclngi for the reason that it Is perfomind in I wider movements and under conditions I more healthful because they are less con- I fining. Alwuya skate in perfect time to the I rhythm, ni quire fearlessness, and be suto that u will succeed. Anyone can skate well who can do other things well. Determination and a sense of proportion are all that are necessary. This S'40drn Interest of smart soe'ety in skates and skating should be one of the gmatest advantages offered to the world in some time. the cream and sugar with which our sagacious young hopefuls have always Insisted on having them deluged are the most nutritious part of the mixture. Not ono of them suppllos an element which Is lacking In a good, modern, mixed diet, with plenty of fruit and green stuffs, and not one of them Is either as nutritious or digestible aa Its own weight lu good bread, and they cost anywhere from five to ten times as much, . The main secret of their enormous and flatulent popularity has been the cheap ness of tho materials out of which they are constructed and tho huge profit which they yield to their makers and roost Ingenious advertisers. No health food or patent food yet In ventod can hold a candle for real value and permanent wholesomeness to the plain everyday foods which come on ojr tables every meal. 7 Three parts of "Simon Pure" go as far as four parts of ordinary lard For frying for ..?K.r NBTTLB UMOMCOMff, i i I rc The Boy Who By Ill'SSELIi II.

The usual questions have been asked him; but as he does not fit exactly Into tho cut and dried scheme of things it has become necessary to pass him a little higher up. He may or may not have met all the preliminary requirements, but he knows one thing for sure that he needs the col lego course aa the foundation for his future work In the world aa he thinks he sees It. It is not possible for him, perhaps, to take the entire number of units usually prescribed for the freshman year, though he Is willing to undertake heavy burdens, for he is young and does not realise the after-cost of excessive effort; or perhaps he cannot fit Into Just the usual combi nation of courses. What will the college authorities do for him? Will they allow him to do as much work as hs can, and will they allow him some latitude In the choice of Ms subjects? If necessnry, csn he take half of his subjects this year and half next? If the college reaches out to meet hia Individual necessities he stsys. If it does not he seekf further. All he asks Is the opportunity, and he will seek until he finds It.

It may net him little more thsn the barest necessities or he msy be fortu nate In finding one that will give him comparative comfort. He may run an elevator at night, he may tend furnaces, he may write up life Insurance, he may do one or several of a thousand things. He does not talk about his business af fairs on the outside; he only asks the college to let him come and do as much of Its work as he can. You oan trust him to do his best; but the college must keep a careful oversight over him without his knowing It, for It owes It to Its own future glory to protect him from himself, from the temptation to overdo. It must not allow him to undertake too much at a time; but if It is true to the best Ideals of service, for which tho col lege should be the synonym, it will show him every opportunity, every help In Its power to glvs him the chance to do all that hs can. In return, the day will come when he will surely honor the Institution that was true to its purpose of training strong men and women to servo others. Such a young man came to mo some fifteen or twenty years ago. He was self-supporting, though he was through his course before the authorities knew snythlng of his outside business affairs. He took the time necessary to da his work well. He took his college course and his course In the law school. 9 and i 5ta!S?Ilr'BeretkeOvei j Label that Idealities all Anwar'etotisiMiepradwtk jM'noDUCTS B Try TTitBmt 1 B Star StsduMt Hub 1 1 Star Bscaa 1 Deveaskire Fsm Saaisgs 1 Araear's Grape Jsico I CUnrVleea Batter Cbasih OieesuvfwiBS I (Atorarai t'rt I Silver Ckara 01 iirgeriea H I Wkxut H Ami ever 100 huJ&TTmA.
