18 Manitoba free press Winnipeg thursday july 21, 1927 life is bettered by science we have longer life. Greater efficiency and happiness and fewer Young mothers die when we come into the world than in the past. By Royal s. Copeland . The average Man of today could not get into the Armor of the average Man of the Middle Ages. We have increased materially in stature. Likewise we have improved not alone in the expectation of life but actually Span of life. It would be a sad commentary upon medical science and modern sanitation and Hygiene if we did not have an in creasing Chance of Long life. It is in disputable that men and women of 50 years of age today Are far better equip Ped for old age than were persons 01 the same age a Hundred years ago. Motherhood is less trying today than it was a Century ago. The cemeteries of Olden Days contain Many Graves of Young mothers. Only the very fittest survived what is always a dreadful or Deal. But thanks to modern science childbirth is increasingly kind to Mother infant. The dental care Given Young Chil Dren is keeping them in school More Days than they used to spend. But it is doing More than is pre i venting bad Gums and abscessed roots. In rheumatism joint Dis ease heart disease and other debilitating and fatal conditions Are less frequently met and will grow less with the years. Better understanding of How to feed children is giving Xis a race Young folks better nourished bigger Stur Dier and capable of living More years than their ancestors did. Such children won t grow into adult life and old age so soon. We have a Way of judging How forefathers aged. In the mountains of Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina Are thousands of men and women who May be called our con temporary undoubtedly they live and and look As the Early i americans did. They Are old in appearance when most of our citizens consider themselves As just beginning life. We have Learned How to live. It is our duty to practise what we have Learned. Gasoline Alley Molder plays an outlier card Dorothy Dix s letter Box dear Dorothy am 18 years old Ana have been married five months to one of the finest men in the world. When i married i was very Romanti Cally in love but it seems that my love is not the same As it used to be. When i used to see him coming Home it thrill me to the very Depths of Rny being. Now i Arn glad to see my husband but it does t thrill me. And i am always dreaming of my courtship Davs and yearning for them. I thought i married that my feelings to Ward my husband would never change and that i would continue to be madly in love with him. Do you the lilt that i married the wrong Man and that i was mistaken in thinking that i loved my wife. Answer no. You poor Little silly Goose. All that is the matter with you is that you Are Clown from the peaks of Romance to the Plains of everyday live or. And you have not adjusted yourself to it yet. The reason that you have quit thrill ing at the sound of your husband s footsteps is because it has ceased to be a Novelty and has become some thing that you expect. And besides there is a strict time limit on thrills. Nobody can go on thrilling indefinitely Over anything. As soon As we be come familiar with any phenomenon we quit having palpitation of the heart Over it. So Don t attach any significance 1 to the fact that you have ceased to thrill Over your husband. If j you had married every romantic i hero that Ever figured in a novel or i on the screen you would feel the i same Way about him after you had been married to him five months. Married people Don t go hot and cold and have fits of ague Over each other. But if they love each other there is something a lot better that takes the place of thrills and that is a feeling of peace and Conte it feeling that somehow everything is All right with the this floods their conscious i Ness whenever they see each other. But for goodness Sake quit dreaming about your courtship Days end bemoaning that you can t keep i them up. Nobody could endure a life time of love making any More than he j or she could stand to subsist upon a diet of chocolate creams. All of that gooey flu dub soft talk bore you to tears if you had to listen to it year after year. After marriage you Don t want a Man to spend his time asking you Oose Darling swe tums is or is of perfectly certainly sure of loves of itty bitty you want a Man to talk like an intelligent human being and to take you into his Confidence and Tell you of his Hopes and plans and aspirations. Nor do you want your husband to sit up and hold your hand by the hour. You want him to be employing his time at some useful occupation and leave yours free to do their own work. So. Dear child Wake up from your trance. Shake yourself out of your sentimental dope dreams and face the fact that you Are done with thrills and hectic love making and Romance and that while they were All Well enough in their Way and a pretty prelude to Matrimony that they Are not the real thing. The Are Noc life. They Are not marriage. If you Are to find Happi Ness you must put All these Idle i dreams and reply legs away and Settle Down to the business of by a Good wife and making your marriage a Success. There is nothing that women Bor Row so much trouble about and waste i so Many Idle tears upon As not being table to thrill perpetually and to keep their a disbands at concert pitch Al love making. It makes them Blind to How much better the love in that proves itself in faithfulness and tenderness and sacrifice than were the vap rings of courtship. Dobothy Dix. Dear miss main cause of a Man getting tired of his wife is that she dresses to catch him before marriage and after marriage she gets care less and her husband often sees her Sloppy and untidy. Also the old women dress As Young persons. We men Are not deceived. They move around stiffly not with the Grace of a girl. There is a modesty inherent in Man far Superior to woman which has been proved scientifically. There is an old business proverb that says that any fool can make a business but it takes a Bisl Ness Man to keep one. So with Hus bands. It is easy to get a husband but it is the real woman who is Able to keep sixty year old Bach Elor. Answer bight you Are or. Bachelor. Any flapper can catch a husband but it takes a superwoman who keeps her fingers crossed for Hinric 1 to hold one in these Days most men seem to be born Wrt the wandering foot. Of course it s disillusioning to Man to see wife transformed from the Babydoll in courted into a drowsy Lemale in m of a hair Cut and manicure an6 a trip to the laundry. But i Don t believe that a great Many women lose their husbands through their untidiness. Most nowadays keep themselves quite As spick and Span As their husbands do. The introduction of the Bathtub and the Bungalow apron into even the humblest Homes have about eliminated that excuse for a Man wandering away from his own fireside. As for wives growing old and Middle aged and stiff and not being Able to camouflage their age even by Short dresses and bobs that alas is something else yet again Maruss. That is no fault of the poor ladies nor is it anything they can help for they would gladly always remain nimble Sheba and so retain favor in their husband s eyes. But unfortunately this cannot be done and undoubtedly Many men do tire of their faithful old. Wives for no other reason than that they Are not so Gay and pretty and supple As Young girls Are. Nor have i observed that the skirts have anything to do Watt these defections. Bather has it a matter of How Little sense and How easily flattered the poor Simp of a husband was by some Gold Digger who extracted Diamond bracelets and silk lingerie from him while she told him what a boy he was and How much too Young for his wife. Nor do i seem to recall that these men were particularly attracted to these maid ens by the modesty that they displayed in dress. My own idea is that the chief thing that makes a Man tired of his wife is her temper and. Disposition and that most women who lose their husbands do so through nagging and being peevish and fretful and hard to get along with. It s very Seldom that a woman who is Jolly and Good natured and cheerful has any trouble about keeping her husband. Dobothy Dix. Dear Dorothy a Young Man and i have been going with a girl for some time. I like her very Imich. In deed but i am not in love with her and have never pretended to be and have no intention whatever of marry ing her. But the trouble is that the girl and her family give every one the impression that we Are engaged and that it is Only a matter of time before we will be married. What shall i do b. Answer Plee. George flee. Hie. Away to the tall Timber. For if you Don to the first thing you know you will find yourself bound hand and foot and shanghaied to the altar. It s an old old trick. The girl will weep on your breast and Tell you How she was sure you Loo veil. Her or you would t have cd come to see her so much and the family will Tell Yogi that you have com promised her and kept other suit ors away and it will be All Over with you. Dorothy Dix.

Cadman docs not under take to an Siver All questions but selects especially to uric inquiries appear to be representative of the trends of thought in the Many letters he receives. I have a rather difficult problem on which i should like your advice. I was brought up in the anglican Faith All my children have been in the anglican Church and i am greatly attached to my Churchi. Three years ago we moved from Canada to our present Home and the roman Catholic Church is the Only one convenient of Access. The three tears we have been Here my children Hare attended Lii Catholic school and some of their tile Church while others would not attend the Chu Clr. I too live attended it on various occasions. My husband is not a. Churchgoer and i have been unable to con Vince him that lie should take the Childr ii to our own Church which is some distance away. He Lias promised severa.1 times to do so but when sunday comes around lie is unable to get up sufficient Energy to Honor his Promise. I have a son 17 years of age who is a splendid boy without Uny bad habits and who desires to lie come a Catholic by reason of his having attended tie Church and school of that Faith. Am i wrong in not giving him my consent i feel the boy should he in some Caurel i would prefer him to join own but if lie feels actually urged to become a Catholic should i stand la his Way it is always preferable where pos sible without constraint of conscience to preserve the Home s spiritual one Ness. But religion itself As the supreme act of the soul s Devotion is so purely personal that like marriage it must be left to the responsible individual s determination. Plainly your husband s neglect of his Mother Church and your son s Educa Tion in a school have turned the boy s attention toward the other communion an indifferent and care less protestant father need not be sur prised if a child of his becomes an ardent and devoted Catholic. Nor can the merely nominal Catholic Parent who neglects his spiritual duties and his family s Faith berate them if they forsake his Church for protestantism. Indeed it is better to be a sincere con Rucia nist than a hypocritical Chris j Tian. 1 out do not allow this youth of 17 to take the step he meditates until you and his father have counselled with him. Tell him what your knowledge of him persuades you he ought to learn Mark and inwardly digest before proceeding further. Then let him de cide for himself and to the Light of his own convictions. The new world this old world is Ever new always some one learns to do something never done before. Youth is at an open door leading into Fields wherein there for him to win. What is of the past is old. History is a tale that s told but the histories still to be none can Tell and none can see. Every morning ausems to bring into life some wondrous to Fang. This old world is Ever new til rams Are always coming True same tomorrow holds a. Joy now unthought of for a boy. At the door of life he stands with the future in his hands. I what is done is nothing to what the mind of Roan shall do countless splendours wait their Day countless books unwritten stay. One shall do Ere night is o or something never done before.
