He writes: "When you find your mate take her; she Is expecting It. "When you have her, live ;or her; she demands it. "When she awakens your jealousy beat her; she needs it." According to the physician, some women require beating Through the lack of If they escape from their hus band's control, and are Incapable of controlling themselves. They find by the absence of the beatings that their husbands are not their masters. Therefore, they seek other masters, since their contempt for their hus bands has reached the limit When things have come to this pass, the doctor advises, the time has ar rived for the husband to kill his wife. The most devoted wives, states Dr. Waugh, "are those who tear their husbands. They plan day and night to please them and to win their ap pt obatlon."

If the annual deprecia tion due to unimproved roads is only 10 per cent ($400,000,000). this amount would build, at $5,000 per mile, 80,000 miles of fine roads. In less than five years the amount now lost In this depreciation would pay the cost of our present improved roads, and in thir ty years would improve the other two million miles of highways.

They think that it is something that comes today and is gone tomorrow. They neglect it. They put it off, thinking every day that it will bo better tomorrow. Mssys sad mistake ha« been made in this way. A Sore Throat is never a little ailment. If every mother could realize t he real danger that lurks behind every case of Sore Throat, she wouldn't rest until she had effected a cure every time a child has it. Your family physician will tell you it is a positive fact that every child with Sore Throat is in real danger of contracting Croup, Quinsy, Tonsililisor Diphtheria and is not removed from that danger until the throat is cured. Sore Throat is a specific and well defined disease. It is the most common throat disease. That is why Ton siline is speciallyprepared as a Sore Throat Cure. That is why nearly all our talks are almut Sore Throat and the fact that Tonsiline cures it so surely and quickly.
