I wonder whether they found out abont that eugenienlly. I don't know haw the eugenic bride? and eugenic husband feel about it, but I'd rather be married to some one with four generations of consumption for a family history than to be married to bigamist. That's the troublo with all this eu genic theory. How in the world is it going to do anything important for thu rare when the only thing that in of much importance t'haractor is left completely out of the reckoning? The, healthiest and most ph;sically perfect man X ever knew has about as much power as an angle worm. lie doesn't lilio to drink, he hates the tnnie of whiskey, and bo says cham paign makes his head ache but he drinks, just the same, to please people who ask him to drink. Ilo'a in lovo with his wife, or would lihe to be, and ho hns a little Vny he 's fonil of, and a baby daughter that ho adortifl. But any woman who will make eyea at him. owns him completely 1 jr the time being. This nmn is iiatu rally clean, naturally decent, naturally wholesome the vo'y eort of person you'd pick out, eugenic ally, to marry your dearest daughter. And he's the worst husband I know, for rouuins which have absolutely nothing to do with eugenics whatsoever j I know a girl who was the loader of the basketball team at college riho can awim and row and ride anil run. She run dance thirty miles a night nnd lie up at 8 o'clock in tho morning looking ns if she hadn't done a thing but sleep nil night long on a perfectly Rood sleeping porch with a sweet breeze from the ocean whispering protty dreams overy minute, of the ho'ir. Thia woman in pretty and fn.sh col ored, and sho has good manners and !s very intelligent, but sho's driving her hutdhaiid to drink nnd making her child ren wish they lived in a nice, cozy, juie.t orphan asylum. Eiigcnicnlly sho's perfect. lUnlly, sho's a born nagger, a shrewd, a wold, a woinnu with a genius for see ing every littlo fault her husband has through a doublo-lensed telescope, and tailing him about it with a megaphone. I'd rather have a boy of mine marry a girl with a hereditary tendency to in flammatory rheumatism, or anything txo on tlia doctor ' calendar, than to be married to that girl. The inherited disease sometimes slips a link in tho chain; the bad disposition uovnr misses a tricl-. And there is Bitch a thing as suffi cient Htreugth of character to throw off tho mere tendency to almost any dim-one in the world. I know two sisters born of a con sumptive mother. One of them is going Into a decline this very day and hour, and the other in tho picture of lieu I III, The onn who's going into a decline is a dioawnyseutlinentnl-ihiipsodiser sort of wrsun, who-1 hiiius it is Interesting to be "delicate." Bba won't exercise; she won't ent anything that she ought to ent, end she will i-nt all things she ought not to eat; fdw hues fresh air, and sins that a sleep ing )rrh gives her tho shivers; she rradtt novels and curls up over silly boohs when she ought to oo out in the ptnlrn plnnting petunias. Ilir ister is a bright, good-humored, nmnliln girl. She started In with a conh a couple of years ago, and she avi'd every dollar sho could get hold of and had a sleeping porch built out of hit room. She Milled in a good doctor mil obJ d hi orders to tho letter, tbe ntu what she ought to et, and ho It what sho ought not to eat alone. Khe liked to read too, but sho threw W books away and cultivated a bod OK violets, and the other sister is anything but well. It doesn't take much of a prophet or much of a student of eugenics to toll which of those girls is going t marry and bo the mother of healthy, whole some children. Cood health, a fine constitution, a liver that knows its business and does it, a heart that keeps union hours and a stomach that attends strictly to its own affairs these are all magnificent assets in tho business of life. Splendid tools to help build that we call success out of even the sorriest material. But I'd rather Uavo an o.inco f courage than a pound of health, and if I had to cbooso between a good constitution and what the old fashioned people called "sand," I'd chooso tho "sand" every day in the week. Pluck, courage, strength of mini, determination, tho will to do and not to bo done they aro tho sort of eu genics that count. Now, when tho examining board of physicians can tell by looking at you whother you are a man or just a mealy-mouthed musk of concessions, it will bo of a good deal more prac tical use than it is today. The first eugenic brido a bigamist things up when wo get to thinking that wo know so much that it's really terrifying. " Woodburn, March 21. (Special) Mrs. E.

THE llttls poem beginning Baby-by, Here's a fly, shows ths spirit with which the house fly used to be regarded and even appreciated as do- meitio ornament snd baby's J? plaything. They did not realize Z that baby's life lay with ths f filthy insect who "tickled baby's nose" and who was most prob- q ably just from some consump- tive's or typhoid patient's sick?- ., room or from a neighboring 4" stsble. As soon as ths fly hss emerg- 4 ed from the shell it is ready for j its deadly work. It starts out Z from the stabls or the garbage y can in search of mors filthy food. Around it flies from one Insanitary place to another. It enters the sickroom and gath ers there the death dealing bac teria. It gets typhoid germs on its legs and fliee away to some table and wipes them off on the food. It gathers tuberculosis germs and crawls into ths sug sr and ovsr the butter and often ends by tumbling into the milk. It is hard enough for grown persons to fight off the contami nating flies, but helpless babies are wholly at the mercy of their worst foe. The flies swarm about them, settle down on their faces, walk over their nursing bottles nd leave only when driven away by ths baby's rescuer. t ! t V 4i 4 t 4 4 3 Today that sister Is perfectly welltion, Tho rooms wero very attractive A Salesman mailed an important order to his house.

Great iioerirafKer New Novel "You Never Know Your Luck" Published Complete in the April Munsey WHEN this novel goes into book form after it has appeared in The Munsey, it will cost vou $1.50; in Munsey 's Magazine it will cost you 15 cents, and in The Munsey you get it first Sir Gilbert Parker is unquestionably one of the first novelists of the day, and one of the most popular. His books, at $1.50 a copy, sell up into the hundreds of thousands some of them as much as 400,000. With so tremendous a sale at $1.50, what ought the sale to be at only 15 cents ? Four million copies, I should say, but as the edition of Munsey's Magazine for April is limited to 500,000 copies, there will be, on this theory, 3,500,000 disappointed persons. , therefore, you want to make sure of this new Parker novel at a cost of 15 cents, you would do well to get busy with your newsdealer before his supply of the April Munsey is exhausted. MUNS EY ! r , : - n -K I "V j: ! v ' 'lJ i ';;.n ' IF SIR GILBERT PARKER Author ot "The Riuht ot W.y," "The Money Muter," "Seats ot the Mighty," "The Judgment Houge." with a full book-length novel published complete each issue, has hit a new high place in magazine making. I have been studying for a dozen or ntteen years to nnd a way to give the public brand-nevV, high-grade books at a price not to exceed 25 cents a copy. I have just now solved the problem through publishing them in my magazine not serial publication, but as complete as if actually in book form. And in The Munsey they are printed on fine book paper, from large, clear type, and are profusely illustrated. The Munsey is jam full of good stuff. Its complete novel covers only one side of it. The other side is rich m illustrations, worth-while articles, short fiction and other material a magazine practically double the size of the average magazine. On all news-stands, 15 cents a copy; $1.50 a year. FRANK A. MUNSEY, NEW YORK was opernted on for appendicitis at tho Hubbard hospital a few day? ngo.
