WOMKK UHOWIXU VOlXtiKII
Such Is the Contention of llr. Adcle
ri.lm lb.-r of IkTlin.
BERLIN, Oct. 29. Adele Bchrel
ber, the famous advocate of women's
rights, has Just published an essay
entitled "Woman at Her Best,"
which Is causing much discussion. J
She says in part:
"The time Is near when there will
be no more 'old maids;' certainly
none redlculed on account of their
years. Even today women referred
to as 'old maids' are not the scare
crows pictured by writers as late as
the last of tbe nineteenth century.
Women are growing younger In ap
pearance, In manner and ambition
at least they impress one as younger
than their birth certificates warrant.
"As a rule, our women of 35 and
40 are younger looking, more elastic,
fresher and more vivacious than men
of the same age. There is an in
creasing number of marriages be
tween young men and women their
seniors by five or even ten years."
Dr. Schreiber quotes from a
Swedish woman'a journal the result
of a query sent to its readers: "What
are woman's best years?"
Thegreat majority of the answers
fix woman's best years as between
"5 and 45. One poetical writer states
111 j opinion as follows:
"A woman's best years are the
period when she Is still young
enough to be attractive, yet old
enough to appreciate true friendship.
A very young person is seldom a true
friend. She has not sense enough,
and Is too eaten up with her own im
portance to tolerate the shortcomings
of others."
Another writer says: "I prefer
the woman of 40 or there abouts.
the woman of experience, for experi
ence alone makes a woman warm
hearted, sympathetic and universally
kind."
A third opinion offered reads as
follows: "That woman Is at her best
who combines the Ught-beartedness
of youth with an appreciation of
life's responsibilities."

KISSING IX JAPAN.
The Visit of the American Fleet
Raises Question of Kissing.
TOKIO, Oct. 29. The visit of the
American sailors of the battleship
fleet to the shores of Nippon has
called forth from the Japanese va
rious complimentary comments re
garding their behavior. A Japanese
dally today discusses gravely a new
feature of Occidental life brought
vividly before the observing Oriental
eye under the caption, "Why we do
not kiss."
"Kissing as an expression of af
fection has been hitherto unknown,"
says the writer, "possibly because it
has never occurred to the Japanese,
any more than the custom of rub
bing noses as a manner of salutation
has occurred to Americans. In the
Japanese language there Is no verb
'to kiss,' and no word that signifies
the action. After the advent of this
'kissing bug,' as It is called in the
United States, we must borrow a Chi
nese character In writing the word
which conveys the meaning to touch
the lips. Already our children are
adopting certain customs of the visit
ors to these shores, and we wonder
greatly If they will allow themselves
to be Inoculated with the 'kissing
bug.' "

MARRIAGE LOVE'S SUICIDE.
Stanford Professor Startles a Wom
an's Club.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29. "Marriage Is
the tu'eide of love," said Professor
Edward D. Monroe, Ph. D., of Leland
Stanford Junior university before the
Woman's l iterary club of Woodlaw;,
this city.
"The Increasing number of di
vorces each year In America seems
to substantiate this conclusion," said
the professor, further. A restrained
murmur of amazement was heard
among the several hundred clubwom
en present.
"In the first place, marriage Is en
tered upon by thousands of foolish
and frivolous girls and thoughtless
young men, without the least con
sideration of the question of mutual
adaptability or of congeniality. Wed
lock Is rushed Into, and a few months
after the honeymoon the parties con
cerned come back to their rational
senses and realize that there are
grave temperamental differences to
reckon with.
"Before long there appears on the
horizon of love's young dream th
dreaded 'affinity,' and most of yon
realize what that Implies. It signifies
that the bonds of matrimony will,
ere long, be ruthlessly shattered and
wind up In the divorce courts."

Why Colds Are Dangerous.
Because you have contracted or
dinary colds and recovered from
them without treatment of any kind,
do not for a moment Imagine that
colds are not dangerous. Everyone
knows that pneumonia and enronlc
catarrh have their origin In a com
mon cold. Consumption Is not cau
sed by a cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and de
velopment of the germs that would
not otherwise have found lodgment.
It Is tbe same with all Infectious dis
eases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles and whooping cough are
much more likely o be contracted
when the child baa a cold. You will
see from this that more real danger
lurks In a cold than In any other of
the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold Is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation nave made it a
staple article of trade over a large
part of the world. For sale by
