JCpiIE exchange of wives, if sanc X tioned by law and public opin ion, would produce much better results than trial marriages, it seems to me," meditated the Bachelor Girl. : "Do you want a return to the Stone Age?" asked the Bachelor, surprised. ."'1 thought you believed in progression, iiot in reversion." : "I do. But the exchange of wives I liave in mind has a different thought at the bottom of it from the exchange of wives in the Stone Age." "Don't you think it task enough for a husband to get one wife made over to suit him, and broken into all his little idiosyncrasies," teased the Bache-, Jor, "without asking him to do the work H second time?" ; "I want to relieve him of all the -work," laughed the Bachelor Girl, "and fhow him how unnecessary it is, and jielp him to discover what a Jewel he Jias in the wife of his bosom.

But if Mrs. Brown presided over his domicile for a while, and he had to pay her accounts at the department stores, and the gas bills she runs up, and had to eat her burnt steak and lumpy mashed potatoes, he would, upon Mrs. Jones' return, clasp her with joy to his bosom, and thank heaven for a wife who was economical and who could cook. And if Mr. White, instead of thinking what a jolly, Smartly dressed woman Mrs. Black is, and wish ing his wife was a littl cleverer and more stylish, had to put up with Mrs. Black's laziness and untidiness, he would come to the conclusion that a wife who arose and cooked him a good breakfast was leagues ahead of the one who lay in bed and peacefully slept while he made wrathful remarks on the subject of rolls and coffee." Parent STEPHEN'S Parent-Teacher Associa tion, which usually holds a busi ness ,meeting on the first Wednesday of the month and- a social affair on the fourth Wednesday, will hold, instead of the latter next week, an evening's en tertainment for which an elaborate pro gramme has been prepared.

At a recent meeting held at the Parents' Educational Bureau by the Oregon Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations, Dr. William Cavanaugh . gave - a helpful talk on "Children's Teeth." He said: "Modern dentistry concerns itself more with- the prevention of deformity and decay than it does with repair. As the first teeth 'are formed long before the child is born, nothing can be done to improve their quality after birth. "All the defects in the temporary teeth are magnified when the perma nent teeth erupt. Thus parents must see to it that they are preserved and kept straight, otherwise the second teeth will come crooked and out of place and be nearly useless.

"Why can't a husband bring up the coal without being asked, or pay bills without grumbling?" smiled back the Bachelor Girl. "Because in this faulty world we are not made that way. And since we aren't, in order to make us appreciate the angels with one wing that we have, it seems to me it would be a good thing to exchange for awhile for the angel with the other wing. We would soon find that, after all, the little fledgling we had chosen was the one who made us more happy." "If I can get the one I want, I shall be perfectly content,!' said the Bach elor. "You'd never catch me exchang ing, for fear the other fellow would never let her come back. I know a good thing when I see it, and when I get It, I intend to hold on to it." "You mean if you get it," teasingly corrected the Bachelor Girl. Teachers Associations and an ugly deformity. Again it is the use of soft food that causes a poor development of the teeth. These things decay, lack of exercise, mouth breathing, adenoids and thumb-sucking together cause 90 per cent of irregu larity in the teeth. Febrile diseases of childhood, like measles and scarlet fever, stop the growth of the enamel over the permanent teeth, so that some times little or no enamel appears on the teeth when they erupt. "Each temporary tooth reserves a space for a permanent tooth, so if one of the baby teeth is pulled or allowed to decay before five years of age no room will be left for the new tooth and It will have to crowd in crookedly and perhaps cause- all of the new teeth to be out of place. As soon as the teeth appear they must be cared for. "The first teeth should be cleansed with milk of magnesia applied on a soft cloth ' wrapped about the finger. Silk floss should always be used be tween the teeth, for. it is here that the tooth brush does not reach, and it is here that the decay usually starts. "As early as possible the child should be taught to use the brush and floss regularly. The most important time Is after, the last meal of the day. After rinsing out with, water it helps to use the milk of magnesia as a final wash. After the child is 20 months old take it to a ' dentist every six months. Neither the dentist alone or the mother alone can preserve a child's teeth, but both, co-operating, can Insure to every child a fine set of permanent teeth, which constitute the foundation stones of a good digestion."

She found it on the top floor of one of the city's finest office buildings. "Walter Hartman Studio" was neatly lettered in Gothic on the glass door of the of fice at which she paused. Her heart beat fast with excitement, as she re flected upon the good fortune which had led her- steps to the office of the clean-cut, gentlemanly booking- agent who had sent her hither and who dangled before her eyes the prospect of a start in dramatic life. Entering, she found herself In the presence of an artistic looking fellow of perhaps 30. His rather long, wavy hair flowed back from a high fore head. Her first impression of him was thoroughly favorable, and she con cluded immediately that he was compe tent "Oh, yes," he replied when she had stated who sent her, "I know the gen tleman. He has placed a number of my pupils in excellent parts. I keep urg ing him to get out of that dingy loca tion he's in, but the landlord o the. hotel is 'an old friend of his father, and he remains loyal, though his out-of-the-way location is a serious handicap to him. But he knows the theatrical business from A to Z. I congratulate you that he has taken a fancy to you. That man can make you famous." Marian sank into a soft leather chair, at the teacher's command, and as sje gazed at the soft, oriental key of her surroundings, she felt that she had found her way into the headwaters of the river of success. She- re-told her host what experience she had had, and before she knew it, her first lesson had begun. Hartmann was already com menting upon easily corrected errors of her carriage, and showed her now to assume a more graceful sitting pos ture. Presently he had her, rise and follow his example In fitting the gesture to the spoken word. It was all so, easy and so logical when he told her now. and so natural and graceful that she wondered she had never thought of these things before. Then he urged the necessity of using the lower registers of her voice and gave her instructions as to how to produce the effects and qualities he mentioned. Marian entered into the spirit of the lesson with enthusiasm and felt that already she was making pronounced headway. "You're an apt pupil," said Hart mann after a while. "That will do for the present. Did you say the re hearsals you spoke . of are to begin in & TrVCftk?" "Yes," she replied. "Tell me, is there a chance of my fitting myself for the part in that time? "Undoubtedly. You catch on very quickly indeed. A lesson a day for a week will give you all tlje preparation you need for the present. "Are you sure It would enable me to fill the part?" ."Undoubtedly. The man who Bent you to me admitted aa much." "What will you charge?" asked Marian. "Fifty dollars a week would be my regular charge in a case like this. It will force me to defer quite a number of lessons for my regular pupils. But I am Interested In you and glad to be of service to the vaudeville people who sent you to me." He paused for a moment, when she did not at once answer. "In your case," he added, "I'll call it $40. I couldn't' undertake it for less." Marian did some rapid thinking. Forty dollars! It would wipe out practically all of her reserve! Yet, she reflected, would it not yield her a $40 a week position? It was a good bar gain, she concluded, a wise invest ment. "Very well," she answered. "Good," he replied.

What Is Hyoscinef A PORTLAND woman writes: "I would be very pleased if you would tell me through The Oregonlan. what is Hyoscine : Hydrobromate given for in disease? ' Is it given for nervousness, nervous diseases, or in ease of hysteria? Also can you tell me if the Petuitary extract or the Thyroid extract is good in cases of nervousness and hysteria?" Reply. 1 The hydrobromate of Hyoscine s used principally in nervous conditions where there is more or less mental ex citement. It is given for both of the disorders mentioned. It is a powerful sedative, and can only be used in very small doses. ' 2 Yes used. In both conditions. Bright' Dlaease. T. S. writes: "I have Bright's disease, with swelling of the ankles and legs and am passing much albumen. Have been in this condition about a year. I live largely on milk and bread. Am I doing right in this? Is there any medicine that will help me. A friend advised me to take B 's kidney med icine. He said that it had cured many cases of Bright's disease. Would you advise me to give it a trial?" Would Turkish baths help me? Reply. Plenty of milk and bread is very good in this disease but it is not nec essary to limit yourself to that unless you cannot digest other foods. Any vegetable or cereal that agrees with you will not make your disease worse. but you must avoid- all salt in every thing. . Avoid all medicines. There is " no medicine known to map. that will cure Bright s disease. If you need any med icine to meet any particular condition see your physician. Proper sweating treatments are help ful in this disease providing there is no heart complication. Plenty of Cheer Needed. A. E. W. writes: "I am very nervous and do not know the cause, for the only habit I have is smoking a pipe. I am in the habit of inhaling the smoke. Have smoked for 10 years and am now 24. I quit smoking for several months but didn t improve any. I am growing worse. I fear that 1 will go insane, cannot concentrate my mind. If I am reading a paper or talk ing to someone -my mind wanders from one thing to another. Have a poor memory, forget everything, am getting very bashful, sleep poorly, dream all night, and feel more tired in the morn ing than in the evening; have acid dys pepsia and have had this with the ner vousness for seven years. It is telling on me. I will feel grateful for your advice." Reply Instead of quitting smoking for a few months, quit it for all time. There is no time when smoking is a benefit to the body and mind, but to begin at 14 and Inhale the smoke is one of the worst things for development of mind and . body that a young man can do This Is sufficient cause for your condi tion all by itself You need to get a grip on yourself. Sit down and find a good reason for being in this world, and then try to live as is your privilege. Try to forget all the morbid thoughts by filling the mind with cheerful, wholesome, joyous thoughts. You can only do this by study of some definite subject, and reading wholesome books. Let the Bible be one of those books. There is nothing bet ter for either a well or a. sick man. Begin the day with a cold water rub to your body. All that is needed is a dash of water and a quick rub with a rough towel. Work out of doors. Farm work Is the best, or on a cattle ranch. Whatever you do have a few good books and make your mind work. The worst food any one can take is to prey on himself, and this Is what you are now doing. Colonel Blethen a Visitor. Colonel Alden J.

Note of Singer Who First Made Hit With World-Wide Favorite Melody ' Remembered Whenever It Is Sung. It was Jenny LInd, the Swedish nightingale, who was the first to strike the popular chord with the world-wide favorite melody, "Howe, Sweet Home." She was a' little country girl in Sweden and was 9 years old when she attracted the notice of an actress, who sent her to the Conservatory of Music at Stock, holm. At the age of 10 she sang be fore the Royal Court and later made her debut as Agatha In "Der Freis chutz." Strange to say, she made a partial failure In Paris, which was fol lowed by an enthusiastic reception In Berlin, Vienna and London. . After her first triumphal tour of the provinces, she distributed large sums in charity, as she did all during her long and notable life. Her engage ment In the United States was made under the management of the circus man Phineas T. Barnum, who paid her J300.000 for one season. She married Otto Goldschmidt, of Hamburg, who for many years played her accompaniments. "Home, Sweet Home Is scarcely evei sung In public that it does not recall the memory of Jenny Lino, the singer whose golden notes will never be for gotten.

Lower bidders than the Post Special Delivery Company, which was awarded the contract to secure quarters in 293 city precincts in which to hold the pri mary election May 15 have made state ments in which they intimate they were not treated fairly by the county offl cials. They cite in support of their statement the fact that the Post Com pany was awarded the contract for 92800, though three lower bids were received, one from the Package De livery Company for $2650, one from Ben H.

Turner for $2400. - Bids were received by Sheriff Word after he had been instructed to pre pare for the work, and the Post Spe cial Delivery Company was awarded the contract by the Commissioners on the recommendation of Sheriff Word that theirs was the best bid. Criticism from the other bidders Ib directed at the officials first because they awarded the contract to the highest bidder, and second, because the . contract was let without publication of the advertise ment for bids.
