UNTRAINED BRIDES.
Indicated by the protests from Kan
sas, the Kansas bride has been mak
ing a most unfortunate record in cook
ery and domestic science generally.
’Ktinsans are calling for a law mak
ing knowledge of housework and do
mestic science a prerequisite to the
issuance of a marriage license. Not
only is the cooking defective, but
there is a demur over the inapt train
ing of children, and this is particu
larly voiced by William Allen White,
the Emporia editor.
"There should be a law which will
prevent issuing a marriage license to
a girl who can’t cook and keep house,”
says Mr. White. "The sooner the law
cracks down on fool girls who go in
to matrimony caked in ignorance, and
raise fool children, the better will this
sad world be,” and more to the same
effect.
Husband’s deranged digestive ap
paratus, acquired by experimental
cooking, is no doubt the husband’s
personal affair, though the effect may
be reflected upon the community
through an irritated and unhappy cit
izenry. With the neglected and un
trained child, however, the commun
ity at large is very much concerned,
for the reason that the child is often
a public* charge in the houses of re
form and detention, and quite likely
to gravitate later into the criminal
class.
No doubt the Kansas complaint
could well be voiced for other states.
Marriage has been made a ceremony
entered upon without annoying condi
tions, yet the welfare of the whole
state is closely bound to the result
of such unions. In our own state a
requirement for a physician’s certi
ficate of health was found irksome,
and the law was amended so as to re
quire only the certificate of a friend.
This experience of humanity suggests
that no undue obstacle be placed In
the way of matrimony.
Society in general is coming to a
recognition of the importance of
these matters, and education is begin
ning to supply conditions that the
law fails to require. Public schools
now furnish courses in domestic
science, and in time the service may
extend to instruction in the care of
children.—Seattle Sun.

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY
In a'pretty valley in Illinois, not far distant from Chicago, the Loyal
Order of Moose of the World are establishing an institution the like of
which exists nowhere else on earth. "Mooseheart” is the name of the
place. “Mooseheart” was inspireed by the members of the order as a
place where they may find restfulness free from the cares of the world
when they have served their usefulness and are no longer able to care for
themselves. Mooseheart will not alone be a home for aged members but
for their families as well. Here the aged parents of Moose will spend
their declining years with kind hands to administer to their wants. The
children of Moose, when orphaned, will not be thrown upon the world to
shift for themselves, but will be received into Mooseheart where they will
be given the advantages of a real home. The little ones will be educated
and will be taught everything that will fit them properly to fill their places
in life. The teachers will be carefully selected with a view of securing the
best teachers for the best children on earth.
The Loyal Order of Moose of the World Is growing faster than any
other fraternal order and they have planned that Mooseheart shall ex
pand with the growth of membership. Mooseheart now consists of one
thousand acres of fertile land and further additions will be added when
required. There are more than one million members of the order and each
member contributes one dollar per year for the maintenance of Moose
heart. Think how much happiness one million dollars, when properly ex
pended, will bring to those who are unable to provide for themselves.
The men who are making the Loyal Order of Moose of the World the great
est fraternal order in the world, are big men—men of brains and heart who
have made the true interests of humanity a life study. They ask them
selves: “How much can I give to the Loyal Order of Moose for the benefit
of my neighbor; my neighbor’s children as well as my own should misfor
tune overtake them?’’ The membership of the order will soon reach the two
million mark, and Mooseheart, ever keeping step with the membership, will
have more money each year to accomplish its aims for the betterment of
the human race than the greatest university In the world. There are many
advantages gained by being a member of the Moose. The order has lodges
from the Panama to the Arctic and you will always receive a welcome from
your brothers wherever you may go. 8hould misfortune overtake youths
Moose physician will care for you and your family free of charge to you.
The Moose pays $10.00 per week sick benefit. There Is no better way In
which you can provide for yourself and loved ones than by Joining the
Loyal Order of Moose. For particulars see NATIONAL DIRECTOR J.
FREDERICK J0HN80N.

rope will be brought to a speedy

able to mlake any headway against
the ^present force In France and Bel
gium and when the new British army
of 1,000,000 is launched across the
channel next spring and sent against
the kaiser’s tired and exhausted
troops the end is expected quickly.
German Capacity Reached.
Military experts claim that the Ger
man military capacity has been reach
ed and has been found short. The
allies are playing a waiting game,
forcing the enemy to take the offen
sive with consequent heavy losses and
as a result the German machine has
lost heavily. It is pointed out that
the Germans have had the full
strength of the Empire at the front
for a month, while the allies are re
ceiving reinforcements constantly and
have just started to drill the recruits
and whip them Into shape for military
operations.
