M Chauncey A. Smith of Viralia, Col. is looking for a wife. In a letter recently published in New York, Chauncey sets forth his claims to eligibility. He is “just a plain workingman,” a miner. He is “never out of work.” He makes “from $4.50 to $6 per day.” He is “twenty-eight years of age, not a crank, good natured and can get along with any one. To be sure, Chauncey is not, as the phrase goes, “without encumbrances.” He admits frankly that he is the father of four young children, ranging in age from ten to two. It is because he has the honest American desire to “keep the family together” that he! is seeking a “good, respectable, unmarried lady, twenty-five to thirty years of age, who is willing to marry.” He warns that no rattle-brains neod apply. the appeal of oer ful young man, next to a lord, has been the millionaire, Courting in a shower of gold has been successful since the days when the Greek god Zeus won Danae by the use of plenty of aureate atmosphere. Yet how unwise, how positively reckless, is the mother of 1919 who even permits her darling to marry a capitalist! Think of his supertaxes! Remember what the striking lords of labor do to the sources of his income. Consider what a shining mark he and his wife and family are for the bombs of our publicity-seeking ‘Reds, In view of all the present and future perils overhanging the rich man, the Girl who takes a sporting chance and marries him is to-day a true heroine of romance.

Just now, however, in their graceful, comfortable Indian-like gar- ments, with their hair in long’ braids and their powder-boxes forgotten, they are enjoying open-air life at Cedar Lake, In- terstate Park. They row, swim, Play games, go on long hikes through the woods, study wood- craft and nightly gather about the council fire. They are learning many interesting and useful things, beside storing up health and strength for the com- ing year.

Girls, What Do You Eat? DR. AUGUSTA RUCKER SAYS YOUR MEALS | REGULATE YOUR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS Working Girl Eats Girl at Home Eats Sensible Breakfast Too Much, Too Fast, Substantial Lunch Too Irregularly Light Supper Wrong Food By Fay Stevenson TTENTION, girls! There may be gypsy queens who can trace A the Ufe-line in your palms and tell you whether you will wed a blond or a brunette, a poor man or a prince; there may be those who can read your future through cards, through Chinese methods, divination and the constellations, but tarry, there is something even more important than all this—something upon which that future of yours clings and is bound as an anchor to a ship; something which if not guarded and watched over will determine your future happiness more than all’ the blond or brunette husbands in the world, be they poor or rich. That some- thing is your own health. Harken then to the mystic words of Dr. Augusta Rucker, director of the division of health of the social education department, Young Women's Christian Association, They may not hold your interest with the same thrills and heart burnings that you might experience if she were talking of a particular young man about to invade your future, but they are vital- ‘ ly important, for her advice, if fol- lowed, can lead you to a happy, healthy future, and what greater blessing can any girl look forward to? “To begin with, girls eat irregularty, too fast and too much,” said Dr. Rucker at her apartment, No, 120 East| may be only an extract of meat or 4th Street. “I am the health doctor|a flim-flam concoction which sounds ha of all the girls employed | Well on the ill of fare, but has really no nutritive value whatever.

Little profit in paper money, too, You've gotta start making ten-dollar phoneys to break even, and only the twenties return a decent profit. New wage scale of the Coun terfeiters’ Union has a lot to do with this, Counterfeiters de mand a dollar an hour more and refuse to take their own brand of money. Counterfeit trust ts will- ing to give ‘em a dollar an hour more if the workmen will make ten dollars an hour more, It is & yote. A guy with $5,000 to-day doesn't know whether to go home and pay the rent or buy a steak with it. Ten years ago he could hire a beef baron to work for him for $5,000. And it would take the beef baron twelve Months to earn it. To-day your five thousand won't get you so much with the baron. You'll get twelvé ounces for five thousand now—and you've got to watch the scales at that. Coupla dollars was pin money coupla years ago. Wife asks for pin money now and you feel she’s gonna buy the pin at Tif- fany’s. And chicken feed used to be small change. That was when you could feed a chicken at a one-arm lunch. Chickens now use both arms for feeding and smal! change will never pay the check. Only thing you can gec with small change now ts smaller change. Getting a meal for $1.50 is still a mathematical possibility, the same as triplets or the Giants winning the pennant. But, like triplets, it isn't done very often. We do know a guy that gets his three meals on a dollar a day, but he had to join the army to do it. It's awful sad, but the pur chasing power of the dollar in New York is awful sad. And it’s only one-horse-power in @ one-horse town. In New York here stage money won't even buy so much to-day as it did when 10-20-30 was the price of admission instead of the amusement tax. In the best melodramas now the mortgage is heavier than formerly, and “Brewster's Millions” would be the story of a middle-class boy. Brewster wouldn't have any trouble getting loose from his million now. Not unless he kept away from restaurants. In the old days, when gasoline and gin were the same price a pint, a gink that had one mort- gage on his home was considered dead broke. You had to have clear title to the bungalow and a strip of granolithic out front be- fore they figured you were doing well, ‘To-day you're booked in Brad- street's if you own a six-month lease. Yes, indecd—time has changed. Three meals a day, a temporary job and member ship in the union rate you as well-off these days. Anybody that can make his tn~ come pay for food and rent to~ day is not only a lucky stiff and a financier-yhe's a juggler. Bub most of us can’t juggle three ob- jects at a time—not meals any way. There's only one chance to make a dollar goa long way now. Put it in an envelope and address it to Frisco. But you'll have to break into snother dollar to buy the stamp, cup of cocoa come to the doctor's at. tention,” Therefore, working girls, the proper regard mulyiinent, aeba- tantes and matrons, give ear tf you wish to live In happiness and health, Rejoice that you may “Eat, drink ana be merry” for here !s one doctor who says you may eat pastries and foe cream and candies if you wif only eat regularly, not too fast and with to the rules of
