"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. They are great phys'cians in
the family circle who know the healing
of nuiet.
There are times when to say: "Can I
help you ts to offer an affront. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

wider movements and under conditions I
more healthful because they are less con- I

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.

The Boy Who
By Ill'SSELIi II. CXNVKLli,
President Temple t'nlverslty, Philadel
phia. A young man is waiting in the presi
dent's office to arrange for matricula
tion. 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.
Seldom hs asks financial asslstsnce
from the rollege; but If you question him

you will find that he ia self-supporting,
that ho has a lob.
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.
